3. Awnings shall not project more than 72 inches out from the building upon which <br />they are attached, nor extend out from the building beyond the extension of the <br />awnings on adjoining buildings. <br />c) Installation requirements. To preserve the architectural integrity of a building, no canopy <br />or awning, and no canopy or awning sign, shall cover or interrupt significant architectural <br />elements such as columns, column caps, friezes, door or window heads, embellishments, <br />adornments, fenestrations or ornamental detailing. <br />d) Illumination. Signs on A awnings and canopies may be illuminated where the following <br />conditions are maintained: <br />1. Both interior type strip lighting and exterior type gooseneck lighting is permitted, <br />not exceeding a maximum light level of 18 footcandles measured three feet from <br />the perpendicular to the light source. <br />2. The bottom of any illuminated awning or canopy shall be enclosed. <br />3. The provisions of paragraph subsection (f)(7) of this section are satisfied. <br />e) Materials. Canopy and awning signs shall be made of either the material with which the <br />canopy or awning is covered or other waterproof materials affixed flush to the face of the <br />canopy or awning, or be painted directly on the awning or canopy material with weather- <br />resistant paint. <br />f) Snow load. It is found that snow and ice that accumulates on awnings can pose a danger to <br />pedestrians. To ensure the safety of pedestrians, snow and ice shall be removed from <br />awnings within a reasonable time period after an event of snow and ice accumulation. <br />6. Hanging signs. One sign up to six square feet in area may be suspended above a walkway near a <br />primary building entrance so long as it and its structural components are no less than eight feet <br />above the ground immediately beneath the sign. When a hanging sign is displayed in lieu of a <br />ground or projecting sign, the square footage shall not count towards the maximum <br />allowable area for a wall sign. <br />7. Projecting signs. A projecting sign may be displayed in lieu of a wall sign and subject to the <br />following restrictions: <br />a) Maximum projection. The maximum distance a projecting sign may project is not more <br />than 24 inches into the right-of-way. Subject to zoning setback limitations, a projecting <br />sign may project no more than six feet from the building face. <br />b) Location. A building may have one projecting sign facing a street or on a corner of the <br />building. <br />c) Surface area. The permitted area of a projecting sign shall not exceed the square footage <br />for the amount that would otherwise be allowed for a wall sign on the building. When a <br />projecting sign, not exceeding six square feet, is displayed in lieu of a ground sign, the <br />square footage shall not count towards the maximum allowable area for a wall sign. <br />d) Height. A projecting sign must vertically clear any pedestrian area by at least eight feet and <br />vehicular ways by at least 14 feet. A projecting sign may extend to the juncture of the roof <br />with the building wall or to the top of any parapet, but no projecting sign may extend above <br />a second story.
