(4) A master sign plan may be provided for all current and future signs within a campus identified by size, color, shape, height, and common theme. This master plan can allow additional flexibility for size, height, and location of signage if it can be demonstrated that the master sign plan is superior and more innovative than general standards and promotes a more attractive environment.
