§ 13-116. Signs adjacent to residential zones

In commercial and industrial zones, all signs located within two hundred (200) feet of residentially-zoned property shall conform to the following restrictions:

(a) Freestanding signs shall be limited to seven (7) feet in height unless non-illuminated or placed in such a location that visibility from residentially-zoned property within two hundred (200) feet is completely obscured by permanent structures on the commercially- or industrially-zoned property.

(b) Building signs shall be placed no higher than the first story level unless non-illuminated or located so as not to be visible from residentially-zoned property within two hundred (200) feet.

(c) Signs that do not comply with the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) above may be authorized as part of a planned signing program, if the zoning administrator finds that the proposed sign(s) will not have adverse visual impacts on residentially-zoned property within two hundred (200) feet.
