Part 2 — Unified Development Ordinance Zoning Regulations
City of Andover Unified Development Manual

The sign message area for a window sign is determined with the polygon method. This window sign shows text and graphics enclosed in the maximum-allowed 3 polygons. The largest polygon has the maximum-allowed 12 sides. The paw prints are the company logo, and therefore are included the sign message area. The checkerboard pattern is considered a window display decoration , and therefore is excluded from the sign message area.
The blue metal frame is structural , and so is not considered the boundary of a setting. Therefore, the white background outside of the text and graphic is not included in the sign message area.




For a wall sign that is painted directly on the wall, the entire painted area of the sign is considered to be a setting , and so is included in the sign message area.
Photographs or drawings included in a window sign , even as background, are considered to be graphics, and so must be included in the sign message area.




For a wall sign that is a panel mounted on the wall,
D. SIGN LOCATION: Signs must be located outside of the public right-of-way, outside of any vision triangle, and must not obstruct sidewalks, expect for during the 45 day period prior to any election and the 2 day period following the election.
the panel itself is the sign structure , and so is not considered to be a setting, and is not included in the sign message area.


The sign message area for a wall sign with individual letters or graphics mounted on the wall is determined with the polygon method.
