Article Six. Sign Regulations
Freestanding signs in addition to those regulated under Section 604 are allowed as accessory uses on a property
occupied by a residential, commercial, industrial or institutional use if each sign complies with all of the following:
a. Permanently installed miscellaneous freestanding signs may be located within the area between a street
right-of-way line and the minimum building setback required from that street right-of-way line for the
zoning of the property, if such signs are located within 3 feet of driveways that provide access into or
from the property. There shall be no more than 2 such signs per driveway and each such sign shall not
exceed 6 square feet in sign face area nor be more than 3 feet in height.
b. Miscellaneous freestanding signs located farther from the street than the minimum building setback from
that street right-of-way line required by the zoning of the property, shall be allowed as follows:
1. On a property occupied by a multi-family or non-residential use, one miscellaneous sign not to
exceed 32 square feet in sign face area or more than 8 feet in height may be located on the
property for each principal building on the lot, or for each drive-through service window on the
building.
2. Other miscellaneous freestanding signs are allowed beyond the minimum building setback,
provided that such signs are no more than 6 square feet in sign face area nor more than 3 feet in
height (except signs that are required by law to be higher than 3 feet,
such as those marking a handicapped parking space).
3. Portable signs are not allowed as miscellaneous freestanding signs
except for an A-Frame sign for a nonresidential use (also known as a
“sandwich board” sign). Such A-Frame signs must be located no farther
from an entrance to the owner’s business than 6 feet and may be no
larger than 6 square feet in sign face area nor be more than 3 feet in
height. Such A-Frame signs must be stored indoors when the owner’s
establishment is not open for business.
