C. Computations And Measurements:
1. Sign Area Of Individual Signs: The area of a sign face (which is also the sign area of a wall sign or other sign with only 1 face) shall be computed by means of the smallest square, circle, rectangle, triangle or combination thereof that will encompass the extreme limits of the writing, representation, emblem, or other display, together with any material or color forming an integral section of the background of the display or used to differentiate the sign from the backdrop or structure against which it is placed, but not including any supporting framework, bracing or decorative fence or wall when such supporting device otherwise meets the regulations of this section and is clearly incidental to the display itself.
2. Area Of Double Faced Signs: Where the sign faces of a double faced sign are parallel or the interior angle formed by the faces is ninety degrees (90°) or less, only one display face shall be counted in computing sign area. If the two (2) faces of a double faced sign are of unequal area, the area of the sign shall be the area of the larger sign face. In all other cases, the areas of all faces of a multifaced sign shall be added together to compute the area of the sign.
3. Height: The height of a sign shall be computed as the distance to the highest point of the sign or sign structure, measured from the elevation of the road to which it is oriented, or, if there is no road, from the natural ground elevation beneath the sign.
4. Wall Area: In computing the area of a wall only the first twelve feet (12') of building height shall be used.
5. Maximum Total Permitted Sign Area For A Lot: The permitted sum of the area of all individual signs on a lot shall be computed by applying the formula set out in table 2, "Maximum Total Sign Area Per Lot", of this section to the lot frontage, building frontage, or wall area, as specified in the table. Lots fronting on two (2) or more streets shall be allowed the stated sign area for each street frontage. However, the total sign area that is oriented toward a particular street may not exceed the portion of the lot's total sign area allocation that is derived from the lot, building, or wall area frontage on that street.
