(A) The area of a sign shall be computed by drawing a line or lines around the sign in such a way to form not more than four regular geometric figures such as a rectangle, circle, triangle, trapezoid or ellipse. The total of these figures shall be the total area of the sign. All portions of the sign structure, which are internally illuminated, shall be subject to the area limitations of § 153.09.
(C) The height of a sign shall be measured as follows.
(1) Ground, pole or billboard sign within 100 feet of a street abutting the property on which the sign is located: from the top of the curb of the nearest street adjacent thereto, or if there is no curb, from a point six inches above the edge of the road surface, to the top of the sign structure.
(2) Ground, pole or billboard signs more that 100 feet from an adjacent street: from the ground at the sign base to the top of the sign structure.
(3) Roof sign: from the roof level at the base to the top of the sign structure.
