Area of Multi-Faced Signs. The sign area shall be computed by adding together <br />the area of all sign faces. When two identical sign faces are placed back to back, <br />the sign area shall be computed by the measurement of one of the faces. No <br />greater than two (2) faces are permitted per freestanding sign. <br />c. Height. The height of a sign shall be computed as the distance from the base of <br />the sign at the average finished grade of the lot to the top of the highest attached <br />component of the sign. In cases in which the normal grade cannot reasonably be <br />determined, or the property is improved with curbs and gutters, sign height shall <br />be computed on the assumption that the elevation of the normal grade at the sign <br />is equal to the average elevation of the roadway within fifty (50) feet in either <br />direction of the proposed sign. <br />4. Number of signs. <br />a. Only one (l) monument sign is allowed on each frontage, including for multi- <br />tenant buildings, provided it is not located on the same street frontage as an <br />allowed freestanding sign. <br />b. Only one (l) freestanding sign is allowed on each frontage, including for multi- <br />tenant buildings, provided it is not located on the same street frontage as an <br />allowed monument sign. <br />c. Single or multiple occupancy buildings whose premises extend through a block to <br />face on two (2) parallel or nearly parallel roads with customer entrances on each <br />road are permitted one (1) freestanding sign or monument sign per road frontage; <br />provided, that each freestanding sign or monument sign is located on different <br />road frontages. Where a multi-tenant development does not abut a public street <br />frontage, one (1) multi-tenant sign shall be allowed. However, no signs shall be <br />permitted on roads abutting residential districts. <br />d. Unless otherwise addressed in this chapter, the number of wall or window signs <br />shall not be limited as long as the maximum sign surface area per building face is <br />not exceeded. <br />e. Only one (1) suspended and/or projecting sign shall be permitted per exterior <br />building entrance; <br />f. One (1) suspended andlor projecting sign per business shall be allowed under a <br />canopy. <br />5. Any signs visible from a Washington State-designated scenic byway shall comply with <br />the requirements of Chapter 47.42 RCW and other applicable state requirements, as <br />administered by the appropriate state agency, including any permitting required by the <br />Washington State Department of Transportation. <br />6. One (1) informational sign per business or use may be permitted indicating the use or <br />business name and the direction in which it is located. The name or logo may be listed <br />but shall not be the primary focus or feature of the sign.
