(a) The size of signs shall be measured and determined in the following manner: (1) If a sign is on a plate or is framed, all of the plate or frame shall be included in the dimensions. (2) If a sign is not on a plate or is not framed but is partly or entirely outlined by a light line or area, or if the sign is on a plate or is framed and circumscribed by a larger light line or area, all of the area circumscribed by a light line or area shall be included in the dimensions. (3) If a sign consists only of words, designs, or figures engraved, painted, projected, or fixed on a wall, the total area of the sign shall be the sum of the square-foot areas of the rectangles or circles, whichever is smaller, within which each word, design or figure can be placed or inscribed. Section 3-6. Multifaced signs. (a) The sign area for a sign with more than one face shall be computed by adding together the area of all sign faces visible from any one point. (b) When two identical sign faces are placed back to back, so that both faces cannot be viewed from any point at the same time, and when such sign faces are part of the same sign structure and are not more than 42 inches apart, the sign area shall be computed by the measurement of one of the faces. 6
