requirements of this Article shall be provided related to the requirements of Article L Signs.
e. Sign Area Computation
(1) Aggregate Signage Computation. The total combined aggregate of sign square footage for any permanent freestanding sign and attached signs on a premise, lot or property shall not exceed two (2) square feet of sign surface area for every one (1) linear foot of building wall on the side of the building with the main entrance for public access. In addition to the computation provided herein, the following criteria, as applicable, may be utilized in calculating the aggregate signage permitted: A. Number of Buildings Entrances . If there is more than one (1) entrance for public access, the entrance with the greatest length of building wall may be used to calculate the aggregate sign square footage, but in no case shall more than a single wall be used for this calculation. B. Minimum Building Frontage . If the building frontage identified and utilized for aggregate sign computation calculated is 35 linear feet or less, then the total aggregate square footage of signage permitted shall be based on 35 linear feet. C. Angled Wall . If a single building wall used for calculating total square feet has an angled wall with an angle of 45 degrees (45°) or less than the linear feet of that portion of the building wall may be included in calculating the total square feet permitted.
D. Circular Structures . Circular structures such as storage tanks or other similar structures shall determine the total aggregate area of sign square footage by using the linear feet of the diameter of the circular structure and applying the calculation above.
(2) Sign Surface Area Computation. Sign surface area shall be determined by calculating the area including all letters, logos, graphics, emblems, and related commercial copy features.
