When a zoning lot has more than 200 lineal feet of frontage on one or more public streets, the aggregate total of signage on the lot may be increased by 1/2 square feet for each lineal frontage foot over 200 lineal feet using the longest accessible street side adjacent to the lot as the basis. A zoning lot frontage credit may never exceed 500 square feet. See Part 500-1800 for specifics. Note: in computing the lineal footage of frontage on the longest accessible street side, only frontage along the developed portion of the lot may be considered.
