(A) Purpose. On-premises signage in neighborhood commercial areas is essential for the operation of a variety of uses. However, in lighter commercial developments, particularly those near residential development and neighboring residential districts, signage that is less intrusive by being smaller, shorter in height, and more uniform in sign type improves the aesthetic qualities of these and neighboring districts and limits the visual distraction of signage.
(B) Signs permitted as accessory to dwellings. Permitted sign use as accessory to dwellings shall be the same as for § 157.153.
(C) Sign permitted as accessory to non-dwellings.
