(A) A
FREESTANDING SIGN is any permanently-mounted sign that stands apart from, and is not attached to any building or structure.
(B) Freestanding signs shall comply with the following regulations.
(1) (a) Freestanding signs shall be limited to one per lot in those districts where they are allowed; provided, however, that, any establishment on a lot with frontage on two streets shall be allowed to erect one freestanding sign on each of the two street frontages, if each sign meets all other provisions of this code, including the total allowable sign area for such signs.
(b) Exception: Any single lot with continuous frontage along a public street in excess of 700 linear feet shall be permitted to place one additional sign, provided that:
1. Signs shall not be placed within 350 linear feet of each other, as measured along the frontage of the lot; and
2. The maximum allowable sign area for all freestanding signs shall be cumulative.
(2) No part of any freestanding sign shall be located closer than ten feet from the public right-of-way or obstruct motorists’ view.
(3) It is preferred that all freestanding signs shall be monument style, unless an issue of particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the specific property involved would result in an excessive structure or contribute to an unsafe condition.
(4) The maximum height of any freestanding sign shall not exceed 30 feet above the curb line.
