If there is more than one business in the same building, there may not be more than one sign per 20 feet of frontage on the same building. (2) Only businesses on the first floor of a building may have a blade sign. (3) The sign may not project more than three feet from the facade of a building. (4) The sign may not exceed six square feet of total surface area per sign. (5) The sign may not exceed two inches in width. (6) The bottom of the sign shall not be less than nine feet and the top of the sign shall not be less than 15 feet, both measured above the sidewalk. (7) The sign shall not be internally lit. (8) Blade signs shall be located on the same lot as the structure or establishment being advertised. 350-7.2 M. The Board of Appeals may issue a special permit allowing more than the number of signs herein permitted and/or for signs of a larger size, but not taller than herein permitted, provided that: (1) Signs are located only where they are otherwise permitted in the district; and (2) The Board of Appeals determines that the architecture of the building, the location of the building or the land or nature of the use being made of the building or land is such that additional signs or signs of a larger size would not detract from the character of the neighborhood and should be permitted in the public interest. Additional ground signs shall only be approved if there are exceptional circumstances to warrant their approval and if all efforts are undertaken to keep additional ground signs as small and low as possible. (3) The Board of Appeals specifies in the permit the exact sign permitted, the size and location of the sign or signs, and, if applicable, imposes other restrictions. Any change in said signs requires a new or revised special permit unless the special permit specifies what types of changes are allowed.
