Analysis
This ordinance creates new standards for certain types of signs permitted in the C9A through C9H Central Business District zoning districts. These standards vary by type of sign.
1. For on-premise wall or rooftop signs:
Such signs, if they have a display area larger than 50 square feet, are to be composed only of individual letters or symbols. Such letters or symbols may be cut from or applied to an opaque background.
Wall signs are to be attached only to flat, opaque wall surfaces.
2. For on-premise ground signs:
Such signs are to have a display area no larger than 35 square feet.
Such signs are to have a base at least as large in width as their display area.
The display area of such signs may not have an illuminated background.
3. For on-premise awning signs:
Such signs are to be no more than 12 inches in height.
If such signs are attached to awnings made of translucent material, such awnings may not be internally illuminated.
4. On-premise projecting signs, canopy or hood signs, if they have a display area larger than 25 square feet, are to be composed only of individual letters or symbols. Such letters or symbols may be cut from or applied to an opaque background.
5. On-premise marque signs, if they have a display area larger than 50 square feet, are to be illuminated only by internal lights.
Signs otherwise permitted in a particular district but not meeting these standards are permitted only as a special use.
