Subd. 2 Freestanding Pole or Monument Signs. <br />A. No more than one freestanding sign shall be permitted on any site except in cases where properties front more than <br />one public street. For properties that front more than one public street, an additional freestanding sign may be permitted for <br />each street front provided that each additional freestanding sign does not exceed half the size of the maximum sign area <br />allowed for a freestanding sign in the underlying sign district. <br />B. The sign area of a freestanding sign shall only be calculated using one side of the sign. If the two sides are different <br />sizes, the larger side shall be used for determining sign area. <br />C. Freestanding signs in Sign Districts 4 and 5 shall be monument type ground signs with the copy resting on and <br />supported by a solid base of brick or rock -faced block in a color similar to or complimentary to the main structure on the site. <br />The material of the base must extend at least one-half way up the sides of the sign face. <br />D. Freestanding signs shall be located at least five (5) feet from any property line and shall not project over the property <br />line. However, if the bottom edge of the sign copy is not located at least ten (10) feet above the ground with supports that do <br />not encroach on the clear vision area of approaching traffic, the sign shall be located to preserve the clear vision area. <br />E. The total area of a freestanding sign shall not exceed 1.5 times the permitted sign copy area of a freestanding sign. <br />The total sign area includes all sign copy, graphics, decorative features, borders, and structural supports except for the <br />poles. <br />Subd. 3 Service Area Canopy. Each edge of a service area canopy facing a street is permitted twenty-five (25) square feet <br />of sign area in addition to all other sign area permitted on the site. Such signage may be illuminated externally, internally, or <br />backlit, but no other part of the face of the canopy shall be illuminated. <br />Subd. 4 Awnings and Canopies. No part of an awning or sun canopy shall be less than eight (8) feet or greater than twelve <br />(12) feet above grade. Any sign area on the awning, if illuminated, will be deducted from the permitted wall sign area. The <br />fabric or material used for the awning or canopy must be opaque and no internal illumination is permitted. <br />Table 1240.02 - Sign Standards by Sign District available in PDF, clickHERE <br />Table 1 <br />1240.02 -Table 1= Sign Standards by Sign District <br />Sign Type <br />D str ct 1 <br />Residential <br />RI1 2 <br />District 2 <br />Non- <br />Residential <br />Uses R"4 <br />District 3 <br />Residential <br />R31R4 <br />District 4 <br />County E Frontage <br />Ra.r..err arw. a. sacs <br />District 5 <br />Lexington S of 6M <br />District 6 <br />Lexington N of 6S <br />96&Bi <br />District 7 <br />I FLEX & Gateway, <br />Non -Frontage <br />Commercial <br />District 8 <br />Neighborhood <br />Business <br />District 9 <br />TCAAP withoutftontage <br />on Highway 96 <br />ALL <br />oral sign copy area <br />8 sf <br />20 sf <br />20 sf <br />50 sf <br />80 sf <br />8o sf <br />45 sf <br />30 sf <br />30 sf <br />Max Height <br />none <br />no-ne <br />none <br />none <br />none <br />none <br />none <br />14 ft. <br />14 R <br />Lighting Jaj <br />Not permitted <br />external <br />Not permitted <br />EMB <br />I ENB <br />I Ffl <br />I Ed <br />I Nat permitted <br />Not permitted <br />REESTANDNG <br />ype(W <br />Ml1370 <br />MfPlD <br />MFO <br />MiG <br />MAD <br />Mipm <br />MfP7D <br />M[P!D <br />Not permitted <br />Total sign copy area <br />8 sf <br />48 sf <br />32 sf <br />50 sf <br />100 st <br />45 sf <br />25 sf <br />60 sf <br />Not permitted <br />Max Height <br />8sf <br />6ft <br />Bsf <br />loft <br />1Eft <br />12ft <br />8ft <br />8ft <br />Nnt permitted <br />Lighting <br />Not permitted <br />EA <br />E <br />ENB <br />ENB <br />ENS <br />E <br />Ell <br />Not permitted <br />GRAPHIC <br />Total sign area <br />Not permitted <br />25%of wall <br />Not permitted <br />25%of wall <br />25%.(wall <br />Not pennNted <br />Not permitted <br />Not permitted <br />Not permitted <br />Max Height <br />Not permitted <br />none <br />Not Permitted <br />none <br />none <br />Not permitted <br />Not permitted <br />Nat permitted <br />Nnt permitted <br />Lighting <br />Not permitted <br />external <br />No-t permitted <br />external <br />I external <br />I Not permitted <br />I Not permitted <br />Not permitted <br />Not permitted <br />NDOW <br />Max.mum coveag a area <br />Not permitted <br />Nat permitted <br />Not permitted <br />35% of window <br />area, not to exceed <br />t%of building <br />G1 wi ndow <br />area, not to exceed <br />5%of building <br />G1 witow <br />area, not toceed <br />5%of building <br />o- wi <br />area, not to ex <br />5%ofbuilding <br />a window <br />area, not to ex <br />5%ofbuilding <br />35% of window area, not <br />[o exceed5%ofbuilding <br />fayade <br />ALWRY <br />Max sign copy area per <br />in <br />2 sf <br />4 sf <br />4 sf <br />8 sf <br />B st <br />6 sl <br />8 sf <br />6 sf <br />6 sf <br />Wall Height <br />Not permitted <br />4 ft <br />I 4 ft <br />1 Bft <br />I Bft <br />1 6ft <br />1 8ft <br />1 6ft <br />1 6 ft <br />Freestanding Height <br />2 ft <br />1 4 ft <br />I A ft <br />B ft <br />B ft <br />6 ft <br />& ft <br />6 ft <br />6 ft <br />;ai E = extemal.
