In the B-2, B-3, and B-4 and P zoning districts, each building shall be allowed one wall sign and one freestanding sign, except that corner lots may utilize one wall sign per street frontage plus one freestanding sign. For all buildings in all other zoning districts, no more than one (1) pylon sign or combination of two (2) signs be displayed.
