Sign area shall be calculated by measuring the entire area within a single continuous perimeter, including the extreme elements of such sign and any background or wall area or backing constructed, painted or installed as an integral part of such sign. However, such perimeter shall not include any structural elements lying outside the limits of such sign and not forming an integral part of the display. The area of double-faced signs shall be the area of the larger single face. Both faces of a double-faced sign may be calculated as a single sign area; provided, that the faces are approximately parallel to each other and not more than two feet apart at the farthest point.
