<br /> Division 3. Sign Area
<br />
<br /> Section 3-5. Size of signs.
<br /> (a) The size of signs shall be measured and determined in the following manner:
<br /> (1) If a sign is on a plate or is framed or roofed, all of the plate or frame or roof shall be
<br /> included in the dimensions.
<br /> (2) If a sign is not on a plate or is not framed but is partly or entirely outlined by a light
<br /> line or area, or if the sign is on a plate or is framed and circumscribed by a larger
<br /> light line or area, all of the area circumscribed by a light line or area shall be
<br /> included in the dimensions.
<br /> (3) If a sign consists only of words, designs, or figures engraved, painted, projected, or
<br /> fixed on a wall, the total area of the sign shall be the measurable area within the
<br /> outer boundary of a standard geometrical shape such as a square, rectangle, or
<br /> circle containing and defined by the extreme reaches of graphic or informational
<br /> parts of the sign.
<br /> Section 3-6. Multifaced signs.
<br /> (a) The sign area for a sign with more than one face shall be computed by adding together the
<br /> area of all sign faces.
<br /> (b) When two identical sign faces are placed back to back, so that both faces cannot be viewed
<br /> from any point at the same time, and when such sign faces are part of the same sign
<br /> structure and are not more than 12 inches apart, the sign area shall be computed by the
<br /> measurement of one of the faces.
