In all districts, maximum permitted sizes of signs of each listed
type shall be in accordance with the regulations contained in the
following schedule.[1]
A professional or announcement sign for a home professional office
or home occupation on a residence building shall be fixed flat on
the main wall of such building and shall not project more than six
inches. Such sign may be interior lighted in the case of an office
of a physician or dentist only.
A name or announcement sign not over six square feet in area, fixed
to the main wall of a church, parish house, club, school or public
or semipublic building, shall be permitted in any district where such
use is permitted. Such sign may be interior lighted. Not more than
three such signs shall be permitted on a lot.
No business or advertising sign that is a part of or is supported
by a building shall be erected upon the roof of such building, nor
shall such sign extend above the height of the building.
No business or advertising sign structure that is not a part of or
supported by a building shall be more than 18 feet in height above
the average level at the base of such sign.
No business or advertising sign structure erected directly upon the
ground shall have less than three feet of clear space between such
sign and the ground, provided that necessary supports may extend through
such open space.
Business and advertising signs may be interior lighted with nonglaring
lights or may be illuminated by shielded floor lights; provided, however,
that no red or green lights shall be permitted within 75 feet of the
point of intersection of the street lines at a street corner. No lights
of intermittent or flashing type shall be permitted.
No business or advertising sign shall be permitted upon any lot or
building in any district unless it is a structure or part of a structure
or is attached to or displayed upon a structure.
A real estate "for sale" or "for rent" sign or a construction sign
shall apply only to the property upon which it is placed. It shall
not be erected within a minimum required front yard nor nearer to
the street line than the front wall of the main building on the property,
if any, whichever dimension is the greater. Not more than three such
signs shall be permitted on any one property or premises.
No business sign other than a professional or announcement sign and
no advertising sign shall be erected, hung, attached or displayed
until a written application has been made to the Building Inspector
and a permit therefor has been duly issued by him upon payment of
the established fee.
