(a) Definition.
A "movable awning" as herein regulated means a tractable roof-like shelter attached to the exterior wall of a building or structure in an approved manner, and so constructed and erected to permit being rolled, collapsed or folded back to a position flat against such building or structure.
(b) General Regulations.
All movable awnings erected on any building or structure and projecting beyond a property line shall comply with the regulations of this section. No movable awnings shall be permitted to project into a public right of way which is less than thirty feet in width unless such awning is more than sixteen feet above the grade of such right of way.
(c) Length.
Movable awnings shall not exceed a length of twenty feet between supports thereof, measured parallel to the face of the building or structure to which attached.
(d) Projection.
The projection of a movable awning from the property line shall not exceed one-half the distance from the property line to the curb line, but not more than six feet in any case. Where a sidewalk is less than twelve feet in width, such awnings may project six feet, but not closer than two feet to the curb line. Awnings shall not project more than four feet into a public right of way which is less than thirty feet in width. See subsection (b) hereof.
(e) Clearance.
There shall be not less than seven feet six inches in the clear between any point of the frame of a movable awning and the sidewalk grade directly below. No part of an awning cover, including any fringe, apron, skirt, valance or drop shall be less than six feet nine inches from its lowest point to the sidewalk grade.
(f) Construction and Design.
Movable awnings shall be supported entirely by the building or structure to which they are attached and shall have a frame designed to resist dead and wind loads. The covering shall be canvas, cloth or other approved material.
(g) Signs and Advertising Devices.
No sign or advertising device shall be hung from, attached to, printed or painted on an awning, except that the name, street, number and character of the business of the owner or tenant may be printed or painted thereon in letters not exceeding six inches in height.
(h) Identification.
Every movable awning projecting into a public right of way shall bear the name and address on a tag or stencil, not exceeding twenty-four square inches in size, of the person who erected it.
(i) Supporting Structure.
Approved supporting structure shall be provided for the support and fastening of awnings.
