The City has <br />received fewer requests for additional freestanding sign area or height as compared to requests <br />for additional wall signage. Where additional height or copy area is needed for a freestanding <br />sign, property owners can still request flexibility through the sign standard adjustment process. <br />Generally, the changes that were made would increase the amount of sign copy area in industrial <br />districts to 80 square feet (currently most industrial properties are allowed 25 or 45 square feet), <br />and allow for additional sign copy and height for properties with highway frontage. <br /> <br />Sign <br />District Proposed <br />Sign Copy <br />Area Height Type <br />District 1 <br />Residential properties <br />(R-1/R-2) 6 square feet 8 feet Pole/Monument <br />District 2 <br />Residential properties <br />(R-3/R-4) 32 square feet 8 feet Pole/Monument <br />District 3 <br />Non-Residential Uses <br />(R1-R4) 48 square feet 8 feet Pole/Monument
