Wall signs are <br />prohibited for residential uses. <br />a. Single-tenant buildings. For single-tenant buildings, wall signs are permitted on the front, side, or <br />rear of the building, up to one wall sign per façade. The signs shall only be located on façades <br />that include a public entrance and/or the façades that are visible from a public road. Wall signs <br />may cover a maximum of ten percent of the gross wall area of the building wall of which the sign <br />is affixed to, including doors and windows. No sign shall extend above the top of the wall. <br />b. Multi-tenant buildings. For multi-tenant buildings, including shopping centers, wall signs are <br />permitted on the front, side, or rear of the building, up to one wall sign per tenant per façade. <br />The signs shall only be located at the main entrances of the tenant space and/or the façades of <br />the tenant spaces that are visible from a public road. Wall signs may cover a maximum of ten <br />percent of the building wall area of the tenant space of which the sign is to be affixed to, <br />including doors and windows. Tenant signs shall have a consistent display format and be <br />constructed of the same material. No sign shall extend above the top of the wall. All signs shall <br />comply with development sign criteria. <br />c. Buildings with sub-tenants.
