Comprehensive Sign Plan. <br /> In the case of a shopping center or where there are two or more business uses located <br />within one structure or on one property, the approval of a Comprehensive Sign Plan shall <br />be required for the entire complex in accordance with an overall site plan indicating the <br />size, location and height of all signs. <br />The Comprehensive Sign Plan shall be an administrative permit, provided the plan meets <br />all size, location, and other standards of this Section and any applicable Architectural <br />Guidelines applicable to the district in which the sign would be located. <br />A maximum of 15 percent of the building silhouette shall apply to the principal building <br />where the aggregate allowable sign area is distributed among the several businesses. <br />In the case of applying this Comprehensive Sign Plan to a complex of more than one <br />building, the complex may have two freestanding signs identifying the complex in <br />accordance with the following: <br />(1) Only one sign per street frontage. Lot shall have at least 500 feet of total street <br />frontage to be allowed two signs. <br />(2) Identification signs may be located no closer than five feet to any street right-of- <br />way. <br />(3) Where more than one shopping center identification sign is to be located on such <br />property, no such sign shall be located less than 40 feet from point of intersection <br />of property lines. For purposes of determining the gross area of the silhouette of <br />the principal building, the silhouette shall be defined as that area within an outline <br />drawing of the principal building as viewed from the front lot line or from the <br />related public street(s). <br />c. Freestanding Signs. All freestanding signs shall conform to the following provisions: <br />(1) Location. No freestanding signs shall be located within five feet of the property <br />line. <br />(2) Parking Areas, Driveways.
