NOTE: Medium density industrial park zones vary from city to city from very brief pocket zones to strip zones many blocks in length. Off-premise signage, therefore, would be suitable in some communities and not in others and must be assessed on an individual basis by city authorities in consultation with outdoor advertising people. i l :1 i I , "..J i :1 f Sec. 4.6.
