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. The proposed signage incorporates special design features such as logos, emblems, murals,
statuaries or similar architectural elements that are designed in a manner determined by the city to
be architecturally compatible to the sign and area.
