The maximum sign face area for all permitted office, retail business and service use signage for each building shall be determined as follows:
(a) “Sign area” means the figure computed on the basis of all that area within the outside dimension of the sign, but shall not include the area necessary for supporting structures. In the case where characters or symbols are attached to a structure with no background other than the structure to which they are attached, the sign area shall be that area contained within the smallest single continuous perimeter or not more than eight (8) straight lines enclosing the extreme limits of the sign. When a sign has two display faces, the area of one face shall be included in determining the area of the sign; however, when a sign has more than two faces, the area of the sign over two faces shall be added to the total area. In addition, all riders or attachments to the signs or sign structures, whether temporary or permanent, shall be included as part of the total sign area for the sign to which they are attached.
(b) Each business shall be permitted one wall sign, the size of which shall be limited to a maximum of two (2) square feet for every linear foot of wall on the building side upon which the sign is located.
