partially attributable to the distraction and obstruction of improperly located and designed
signs;
c. The provision for effective and necessary business identification systems adapted to the
building design;
d. The continued maintenance of signs throughout their life; and
e. The size, location, design, color, texture, lighting, landscaping, and hours of operations of all

whole. 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 sign area shall not include the necessary
supports or uprights on which the sign is placed, and superficial, nonilluminated column covers,

relaxation of the height, area, number of signs, or locations of signs specified within this article if

proportion, size or relation to a public street that would limit or restrict normal sign visibility; or
