Sec. 3.1407 Business and Agricultural Zoning Districts
(a) On-Premises Attached Signs.
(1) Sign Allowance. The total area per face of a sign shall not exceed 1-1/2 square feet of face area for
each linear foot of building fascia length. Allowances for individual occupancies within a multiuse
building shall be calculated on leased or occupied fascia length. If the lot on which the building is located
has multiple right-of-way frontage, each street frontage shall be counted for purposes of determining
attached sign allowance. Said signage is to be applied (distributed) on the sides of the building where
facing directly adjacent to the public right-of-way. Alternate signage is allowed on sides of the building not
adjacent to the public right-of-way not to exceed 1/3 of the allowance or 25 square feet, whichever is less.
(2) Sign Location. Attached signs may be located on a building wall; but, if any part of the sign projects
above the ceiling line of the first floor, then no window or part of a window shall be situated within or
blocked by the flat wall sign. No such sign shall extend above the roof line of the building or more than 12
inches from the building wall. Where such signs are located on mansard-style roofs, and the building fascia
is not vertical, the bottom of such sign shall not project more than 12 inches from said roof and the sign
can be oriented in a vertical manner. The staff shall promulgate such graphic to illustrate sign location and
orientation.
(3) Sign and Letter/Logo Height in Relation to Building Height.
(A) For multistory structures, attached signage as described in subsection (a)(2) of this section is
allowed between the ground levels to a height of 24 feet.
(B) For multistory structures that are 4 stories in height or more, the following standards shall
apply to letter/logo height in relation to building height:
Maximum Height
Height of sign, 4 stories or greater Maximum letter/logo height
4 stories 36 inches
5 to 10 stories 48 inches
11 to 15 stories 60 inches
16 stories and above 72 inches
Additionally, the above table represents the maximum letter and/or logo height in each sign height
category. When a sign is totally composed of individually mounted letters, either one letter or one logo
may be 25 percent taller than the maximum letter/logo height.
Such signage shall be located between the floor level of the top floor and the top of the fascia wall.
(b) On-Premises Detached Ground or Pole Signs.
(1) Pole signs shall be allowed only along the following linear segments of streets:
(A) I-35
(B) 5th Street (I-35 Business) from Keaton to Cowling
(C) 5th Street from FM 455 North to I-35 service road
(D) FM 455 from 5th Street to Acker Street
Note: If the stated linear segment does not reference a beginning or ending cross-street, the segment shall mean the
entire length of such street within the corporate limits or from the stated cross-street to the corporate limits, as the
Page 29
case may be.
(2) The city council, upon specific application, may approve an exception to allow a pole sign at a
location where prohibited herein if the council determines that a general condition of pole signs exists in
the immediate vicinity and the proposed pole sign would be consistent with such established conditions.
(A) Pole Sign Regulations. Where allowed, pole signs shall conform to the following restrictions
and limitations.

* Pole sign not allowed. See regulations for ground signs which follow.
(B) Ground Sign Regulations. The maximum area of any ground sign as defined herein, is the
area allowed by Table 1. The required setback from a street right-of-way line is 3-1/2 feet.
Required setbacks from other property lines are as specified by Table 1. The maximum height of
any sign on a lot with less than 100 feet of street frontage adjacent to a street with a right-of-way of
70 feet or less and does not exceed 10 feet in height, it may be considered a ground sign; provided
that not less than 120 square feet of its area is below a height of 6 feet.
(C) Multiuse Signs. A multiuse sign that identifies a coordinated development site of more than
one use, such as a shopping center, office center, or industrial park, may have a sign area not larger
than 1.5 times the area allowed for a single-use sign on the site, or a maximum of 200 square feet,
whichever is less. A multiuse sign may contain a directory or listing of the occupants within a
center or multiuse development; provided that the directory portion of the sign shall not exceed 70
square feet or 60 percent of the total sign area whichever is less. If a directory is utilized, the
remainder of the sign area shall contain only the identification of the entire center or entire
development. If a multiuse sign area exceeds that allowed for a single use, no detached ground or
pole sign is allowed for any single use within the center or development, or for any use listed in a
directory on such sign.
(D) When determining requirements for allowable detached ground or pole signs under the above
table, first determine the right-of-way width adjacent to the subject lot, then determine the lot
frontage. Next, determine the maximum square footage per side, setback from adjacent rights-of-
way and the maximum height by reading vertically below the applicable lot frontage. To calculate
the height of a sign, measurement shall be made from the top of the curb adjacent of the street upon
which a sign faces or from the natural ground level, if above curb level, to the top of the sign.
Construction of a berm or earthen mound for the purpose of increasing height of signage is
Page 30
prohibited. For the purpose of calculating the distance from a street right-of-way line where the
existing street right-of-way width is less than that required in the thoroughfare plan and subdivision
ordinance, such distance shall be measured from the line of such right-of-way as required by such
plan or ordinance (adding equal amounts to each side of the existing right-of-way) rather than from
the existing right-of-way line. Freeways are as proposed by the thoroughfare plan of the city.
(E) No such sign shall be erected within 20 feet of the street intersection, unless the bottom of the
sign exceeds 42 inches in height above ground level, and the sign is set back from the right-of-way
as stated in Table 1.
(F) If the lot on which a building or buildings are located has multiple right-of-way frontages and
is 3 acres or greater, two detached ground or pole signs are permitted (one per frontage) based on
sign allowances in subsection (b) of this section. If such a building or buildings are located on a lot
less than 3 acres, two detached ground or pole signs are permitted with a maximum of 60 square
feet per side, per sign and a maximum height of 20 feet. On lots located at the intersection of a
major thoroughfare and a freeway, two detached ground or pole signs are permitted, the size to be
based on subsection (b) of this section. All detached signs shall have a minimum of 20 feet of
separation from the largest permitted sign.
(G) If two of the allowable detached signs are combined into one detached sign, then the signage
may exceed by 50 percent the total allowable signage of the largest permitted sign up to a
maximum of 200 square feet per side.
(H) When electrical service is provided to detached signs, all such electrical service shall be
underground.
(c) Automobile Dealership Signs.
(1) Number Per Lot.
(A) Primary Detached Signs. There shall not be more than 1 primary sign for each franchise up

primary detached sign and a maximum of 24 feet in height.
(3) Minimum Separation. All signs shall be separated by a minimum distance of 100 feet.
(4) Banners and Pennants. Such signage is allowed on light standards and poles, as long as signage does
not exceed 20 square feet per pole or sign and is not strung or affixed in any manner other than from
brackets on single poles.
(d) Development Identification Signs. Project information or identification detached ground signs are permitted
at the entrances of major offices or industrial park developments located on more than one lot and bisected by one
or more publicly dedicated streets. They shall be allowed under the following size restrictions:
