  § 10.9. STANDARDS FOR RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS  

Latest version.

  • The following regulations shall apply to all signs in residential zoning districts.

    A.

    In addition to those signs which are allowed without a sign permit [see section 10.6], signs in residential zoning districts may include the following signs which do require a sign permit:

    1.

    One identification sign for a multi-family complex per driveway access from the public street, not exceeding 32 square feet in area per face, and one wall sign per multi-family structure, not exceeding 20 square feet in area per face per street frontage.

    2.

    One identification sign per entrance to the property identifying a residential subdivision or housing project, provided that such sign does not exceed 32 square feet in area per face. When such signs are placed on subdivision entry wall structures, only the sign face shall be used to calculate the size of the sign. In the event that entrance identification signs are proposed for both sides of the street at any one entrance, this "set" of signs shall be considered as one identification sign.

    3.

    One identification sign per street frontage for a principal legal nonresidential use in a residential district including nonconforming uses and uses approved by special review, minor special review and special exception shall be allowed, subject to a maximum sign area of 20 square feet per sign face and not to exceed a total of two such signs per property.

    4.

    One identification sign per street frontage or per structure for public or semipublic facilities, such as churches, libraries, schools, fire stations and public recreation facilities, subject to a maximum sign area of 32 square feet per sign face and not to exceed a total of two such signs per property.

    B.

    All freestanding and ground signs in residential zoning districts are limited to six feet in height, excepting rural property identification signs located on entryway arches over private driveways.

    C.

    All signs in residential districts shall be unlit or indirectly illuminated. All lighting shall be aimed and/or shielded to insure that no direct light is seen upon any nearby street or upon any nearby residential property.
