B. Residential Directional “Open House” Signs. Such signs shall be limited to one sign per street frontage on the premises for sale and three off-premises signs. However, if a broker/agent has more than one house open for inspection in a single development or subdivision, they are limited to four off-premises “open house” signs in the entire development or subdivision. Such signs are permitted only during daylight hours and when the broker/agent or seller or an agent is in attendance at the property for sale. No such sign shall exceed five square feet in sign area per side. The sign may be placed along the periphery of a public right-of-way, provided it does not interfere with traffic safety, but it may not be attached to a utility pole or traffic safety device.

C. Undeveloped Commercial and Industrial Property “For Sale or Rent” Signs. One sign per street frontage advertising undeveloped commercial and industrial property for sale or for rent is permitted while the property is actually for sale or rent. The sign shall not exceed 32 square feet in sign area per side and eight feet in height.

D. Developed Commercial and Industrial Property “For Sale or Rent” Signs. One sign per street frontage advertising a commercial or industrial building for rent or sale is permitted while the building is actually for rent or sale. If one face of the building is less than 10 feet from the building line, the sign shall be placed on the building or in a window. The sign shall not exceed eight feet in height; if freestanding, it shall be located more than 15 feet from any abutting property line and a public right-of-way line. Said sign shall not exceed 32 square feet in sign area per side.

E. Undeveloped Residential Property “For Sale” Signs. One sign per street frontage advertising undeveloped residential property for sale is permitted not exceeding 32 square feet in area per side, nor exceeding a height of eight feet. If the sign is greater than five square feet in area, it must be placed more than 30 feet from the abutting property line.

F. Additional Signs. The planning, building and community director may grant a special permit to allow temporary off-premises signs in addition to those permitted above, not to exceed five square feet in size per side, or 42 inches in height. Notice of adjacent property owners shall not be required. Such additional signs may be used to advertise open houses, to provide directions to new developments, or similar purposes. Such signs may be placed along the periphery of the public right-of-way, provided they do not interfere with traffic safety, but they may not be attached to utility poles or traffic safety devices. The planning, building and community director shall determine the number and locations of such signs, and the period during which they may be displayed. The planning, building and community director shall take into account the number of existing signs in any proposed location, and shall limit or prohibit new ones so as to prevent a traffic safety hazard or a detrimental effect on neighboring property.
