Unlike the City's previous sign code, there is no cap on the number of signs an individual <br /> business can have. If the building or site characteristics allow for a sign, it can say or list <br /> anything that the landlord desires. The previous sign code only permitted a business to be <br /> listed on two signs, either two wall signs or on one freestanding sign and one wall sign. Even if <br /> the site was permitted to have two freestanding signs, a business could only be listed on one of <br /> them. <br /> The following outlines the standard signage allowed on sites in commercial and industrial zones <br /> without going through the Master Sign Program: <br /> Buildina Mounted Sianaae <br /> Wall and Awning Face Signs: Each business may have one flush mounted wall sign or <br /> an awning face sign per public entrance. Thus, if a business has two public entrances it <br /> would be eligible for two wall or awning face signs. The size of the wall or awning face <br /> sign is based on the total area of the wall on which it is displayed. If a wall does not <br /> have a public entrance it could still qualify for a flush mounted wall sign if the building <br /> incorporates certain design elements. This wall sign is based on the total wall area, but <br /> is reduced 50 percent compared to what would be permitted if the wall had a public <br /> entrance. <br /> Projecting Sign: One projecting sign is permitted for each business. The maximum size <br /> of the sign is 20 square feet for one side and 40 square feet for all sides. <br /> Corner Projecting Sign: Southcenter Square is not eligible for a corner projecting sign. <br /> Canopy -Edge Sign. If a canopy is installed, each business could substitute a canopy <br /> edge sign for the allowed projecting sign. A canopy edge sign can be 12 inches tall and <br /> the total length is limited to two thirds of the canopy length. <br /> Under Awning /Canopy Sign: Each business may also install an under canopy sign over <br /> an adjacent public or private sidewalk. No sign shall exceed three square feet in size. <br /> Awning /Canopy Side Sign: Each awning or canopy side may have one sign located on <br /> it. The sign shall not exceed 40 percent of the awning /canopy side area. <br /> Permanent Window Signs: Each window that provides direct line of sight into the <br /> building may have window signs that do not exceed ten percent of the total window area. <br /> Pole Banners: Pole banners on the light poles are permitted. <br /> The following outlines the standard freestanding signage allowed on sites in commercial and <br /> industrial zones without going through the Master Sign Program: <br /> Freestandina Sianaae <br /> The number of freestanding signs permitted on the site is based on the total amount of frontage <br /> along public streets. The site has over 3600 linear feet of frontage along four public streets. <br /> Based on this frontage, the site is allowed to have nine total freestanding signs. <br /> BM Pawc 5 ol' 14 06 14 1 011 3:19:00 PM <br /> C DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS JAIMIE- R,LOCAL SETTINGS TEMPORARY INTERNET <br /> FILES CONTENT.OUTLOOK I YFKCAFD STAFF REPORT.DOC <br /> 9 <br />
