In addition to the basic signage allowance in sensitive zones, the following rules apply to signs in the R-3 zone:

A. Wall Sign. One wall sign for each street frontage, a maximum of 15 square feet of sign area for buildings with a width of 30 feet or less. Buildings over 30 feet in width shall be allowed an additional one square foot for each foot over 30 feet to a maximum of 30 square feet. In cases of more than one building on the property, the area of the sign shall be based on the lineal frontage of the building on which it is placed. Only the name and address may be placed on the building;

B. Freestanding Sign. One freestanding sign may be used in lieu of one wall sign. Through lots will be allowed an additional freestanding sign if the frontage is used for access. Commercial messages on the sign may consist only of the name and address of the manager, except the vacancy status and location of the manager’s office may be placed on the sign, if designed as part of the sign. Maximum height, five feet. Maximum sign area, 12 square feet, except an additional two square feet may be added for the vacancy status;

C. Manager’s Sign. A sign designating the location of the manager’s office may be placed on or near the main entrance to the units. Maximum size: one and one-half square feet. Such sign may be attached to the dwelling or incorporated in the design of the freestanding sign. Maximum square footage of the freestanding sign shall not be increased to accommodate said sign;

D. Vacancy Sign. A separate freestanding vacancy sign, a maximum of three and one-half feet in height and two square feet in area, may be used if no other freestanding sign exists on the property; otherwise, it shall be placed on the building;

E. Screening Wall Sign. One sign may be placed on a structure used for screening of parking in lieu of a wall or freestanding sign. Only the name and address may be placed on the structure. Maximum area, 15 square feet. (Ord. 2924 § 2, 2003).
