Notes:
      1.   Developed site is any tract of land, which constitutes a site on which development is proposed, under construction or exists, including multiple contiguous lots.
      2.   One sign permitted, either one wall sign or one freestanding sign.
      3.   See sign height measurement standards.
      4.   See sign area measurement standards.
      5.   For multitenant buildings or businesses, each freestanding sign gets a base allowance of 65 square feet. The development then gets an additional 10 square feet per tenant to be split by the number of freestanding signs. For example, if a multitenant business has 230 feet of frontage and 8 tenants, the business can have 2 freestanding signs of 65 square feet each, plus 80 square feet to be divided between the 2 signs, for a total of 105 square feet per freestanding sign.
