§ 53-96. Temporary signs.

Two temporary sign permits may be issued in each calendar year for each individual business location (excluding home occupations), apartment complex, institutional use, industrial park and shopping center. Each permit may be issued for up to 30 days, and permits may be issued consecutively. Permits issued to individual business locations will be counted independently of those issued to industrial parks or shopping centers as a whole. Temporary sign permits may be issued for the following types of signs:

(1)

Facade signs. One facade sign no larger than five percent of the total area of the facade upon which it is placed. Average letter height shall not exceed one-eighth of the height, and logos shall not exceed one-fourth of the height of the facade upon which they are placed. A letter size of 18 inches is permitted regardless of building height, and no letter or logo may exceed a total height of six feet. The sign must be attached securely to the building so as not to allow movement by the wind.

(2)

Freestanding signs. One nonilluminated freestanding sign on any property with 200 or more feet of public street frontage, of up to 32 square feet in area and eight feet in height.
