These include developments such as shopping centers, mini -malls, business parks, and multi -tenant commercial, office or industrial buildings housing four (4) or more businesses. Additionally, a master sign plan may be submitted for a single business if the owner chooses to submit an application for a master sign plan for said business. SIGN AREA: The entire area within a single, contiguous perimeter enclosing the extreme limits of writing, representation, logo, emblem or any figure or similar character, together with any form or other material or color forming an integral part of the display or used to differentiate such sign area from the background against which it is placed.

The development site contains unique or unusual physical conditions such as topography, proportion, size or relation to a public street that would limit or restrict normal sign visibility; or b. The proposed or existing development exhibits unique characteristics of land use, architectural style, site location, physical scale, historical interest or other distinguishing features that justify variation from conventional development; or c.
