The planning director shall review and may issue sign permits for churches, daycare centers, nursing homes and similar uses in any land use district as follows:
(A) Identification Sign:
1. Number: One building mounted sign and one monument sign per street frontage shall be permitted which identifies the main activity and the accessory activity or use on the site. Said sign shall be building mounted or a freestanding sign structure.
2. Freestanding Signs: The freestanding sign may be permitted if the planning director makes any one of the following findings:
(a) A freestanding sign structure is necessary to provide adequate identification of the institution to motorists.
(b) The building is set back from the street or obscured from street view by structures or vegetation such that building mounted signage cannot provide adequate access.
(c) The architectural style, materials or other design elements are such that a building mounted sign is not feasible or would detract from the building's appearance.
(B) Sign Standards:
1. Building Mounted Signs:
(a) Shall be a maximum of twenty four (24) square feet in area for churches and other institutional uses on sites of one acre or less and thirty two (32) square feet in area for all sites greater than one acre.
(b) Shall be placed below the eave line of buildings with a pitched or mansard roof and below the top of the wall for buildings with a flat or parapet roof.
2. Monument Sign: Shall be a maximum of six feet (6') in height and a maximum of forty eight (48) square feet in area.
(C) Attraction Board: Attraction boards shall provide a means to communicate future events or activities on a site. One attraction board shall be permitted per site and shall be a maximum of twelve (12) square feet in area on sites of one acre or less and eighteen (18) square feet in area for all sites greater than one acre in size. Attraction boards may be individually wall mounted or may be incorporated within an approved monument sign. (Ord. 806-15, 1-20-2015)
