A <br />As seen in the definition of building mounted <br />supported by one or more uprights, poles or braces installed on a permanent foundation, not attached to a <br />buil standard sign code provisions only allow <br />monument type freestanding signs. The maximum height for a monument sign is eight feet. <br />Prescribed Code Regulations <br />The following outlines the standard signage allowed on sites in commercial and industrial zones without <br />going through the Master Sign Program: <br />Wall and Awning Face Signs : Each business may have one flush mounted wall sign or an awning <br />face sign per public entrance. Thus, if a business has two public entrances it would be eligible for <br />two wall or awning face signs. The size of the wall or awning face sign is based on the total area <br />of the wall on which it is displayed. If a wall does not have a public entrance it could still qualify <br />for a flush mounted wall sign if the building incorporates certain design elements. This wall sign is <br />based on the total wall area, but is reduced 50 percent compared to what would be permitted if the <br />wall had a public entrance. <br />Projecting Sign : One projecting sign is permitted for each business. The maximum size of the sign <br />is 20 square feet for one side and 40 square feet for all sides. <br />Corner Projecting Sign : Parkway Supercenter is not eligible for a corner projecting sign. <br />Canopy-Edge Sign : If a canopy is installed, each business could substitute a canopy edge sign for <br />the allowed projecting sign. A canopy edge sign can be 12 inches tall and the total length is <br />limited to two-thirds of the canopy length. <br />Page 3 of 10 <br />11 <br /> <br />
