A monument sign shall not exceed thirty-two square feet or six feet in height with a minimum one-foot pedestal, and shall be located in a landscaped area associated with a project entry or focal point. The applicant may forgo the one-foot pedestal if the landscaped area is improved with something other than turf. The sign may be located on a berm provided the top of the sign does not exceed nine feet in height above finished grade. Monument signs shall not be constructed within the clear view area and shall be set back at least three feet from a public sidewalk and property lines. Monument signs shall be constructed with materials similar to those of the surrounding building(s).
2. Wall Signs. “Area A,” “Area B” and “Area C” identified in Figure 1 of this chapter may have one wall sign on one building. The maximum sign area shall be forty square feet. External illumination of the sign may be allowed; internal illumination of the sign is prohibited. A wall sign cannot be utilized with a blade sign in the same area.
3. Blade Signs. “Area A,” “Area B” and “Area C” identified in Figure 1 of this chapter may have one blade sign on one building. The maximum sign area shall be forty square feet. The blade sign shall be mounted at least seven feet above the pavement or ground level. External illumination of the sign may be allowed; internal illumination of the sign is prohibited.

a. Attachment. Temporary signs may not be permanently attached to the ground, buildings or other structures.
b. Banner Signs. One banner sign is allowed per primary building wall or on-site fence/wall. Banners may not exceed eighty square feet and must be mounted flush on the wall or fence with all corners securely fastened to the wall or fence. Banners must be kept in good condition at all times; i.e., tattered, torn, or faded banners must be removed. A temporary sign permit is not required. A banner may not be used as primary signage for a business for more than six months from the business opening. Signage located on temporary construction fencing shall be allowed and considered exempt from the size limit in this section.
c. Balloon Signs/Inflated Sign Displays/Feather Flags/Flags. Balloon signs/inflated sign displays, feather flags, and flags are allowed to be displayed on-site for a period of thirty consecutive days per calendar quarter up to four times per calendar year. A temporary sign permit shall be required for each display period. The signs shall be adequately secured so as not to extend into the public right-of-way or constitute a safety hazard.
d. Grand Opening Events Signs. Promotional signage, such as pennants, streamers, banners, balloon signs, flags, feather flags, and A-frame and inflated sign displays, may be used for grand opening events for new businesses. Such promotional signage must be initiated within the first three months of a project receiving a certificate of occupancy and may be used for a maximum of thirty consecutive days, except for projects receiving multiple certificates of occupancy as allowed below. Said signs shall be used in such a manner so as not to constitute a safety hazard. A temporary sign permit shall be required following the first certificate of occupancy. Promotional signage shall not include off-site signage, snipe signs, or illuminated signs or devices. For the purposes of this section, a business which receives multiple certificates of occupancy may place grand opening events signage with the first certificate of occupancy and shall remove such signage within 30 days of receiving the last certificate of occupancy for the project or within eighteen months of the first certificate of occupancy, whichever comes later.
