(1) Setback. For signs less than or equal to five feet in height measured from final grade, the minimum setback for any yard adjacent to a street shall be five feet. For signs greater than five feet in height, a setback equal to the sign’s height is required, unless this requirement is specifically limited by the appropriate zone;

(2) Landscaping. Monument signs shall be incorporated into a landscaped area that is at least twice the area of the sign, unless little flexibility exists on the site and a waiver is granted by the Zoning Administrator or designee;

(3) Separation. Monument signs shall generally maintain a 100-foot separation from all other signs and 50 feet from the side and rear property lines that are not adjacent to a public right-of-way. In situations with minimal frontages where very little flexibility in sign placement exists, less stringent standards may apply as determined by the Zoning Administrator or designee;

(4) Size. Monument signs shall be limited to 50 square feet in area for signs up to six feet in height and an additional 10 square feet of area may be added for every additional foot in height over six feet;

(5) Number. Monument signs shall be limited to one monument sign per 200 feet of frontage. Properties that have more than one frontage may have at least one sign per frontage if there is a cumulative total of 200 feet of frontage or at least 100 feet of frontage per street frontage, whichever is greater;

(6) Electronic Message Signs. Electronic message signs shall be limited to one sign per frontage. This requirement may be waived by the Planning Commission through the issuance of a conditional use permit; however, no more than one sign per 200 feet of frontage shall be permitted;

(7) Animation. Monument signs shall contain no animation;

(8) Height. Except in the agricultural, residential, RB, and BRP zones, monument signs shall be limited to six feet in height for single-tenant signs, and seven feet in height for multi-tenant signs. In the agricultural, residential, RB, and BRP zones, monument signs shall be limited to five feet in height;

(9) Base.

e. The base of such signs shall be masonry, which may include brick, stone or stucco. If stucco is used it shall match the color of the associated building and include additional decorative architectural elements such as caps, columns or other decorative features;

(10) Uses. In the RM zone, monument signs are allowed for nonresidential uses and for multiple-unit dwellings. In all other residential zones and in agricultural zones, monument signs are only allowed for nonresidential uses.
