All illuminated signs are to be illuminated by a shielded or indirect light source. No illuminated sign is to be placed so as to permit the beams and/or illumination of such to be directed or beamed upon adjacent public and/or private property so as to create a nuisance or traffic hazard. In addition, any illuminated sign that is adjacent to or across the street from any residence or residential area and is visible from such, shall be illuminated between the hours of 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. only, unless the use to which the sign pertains is open for business past those hours. Internally-lit signs are not permitted in residential areas.

No sign is to be located so as to by reason of its position, size, shape, content or color, be confused for, obstruct, impair, obscure, or interfere with any traffic control sign, signal or device.

No sign, unless publicly owned, shall be placed within or extend into or over any public right-of-way or easement.

No sign or any part thereof shall be located closer than 10 feet to any lot line and no greater in height than 20 feet (unless otherwise noted).

To determine the square footage of any sign, the measurement shall include the entire display, together with all spaces between letters and/or symbols, and any artwork, framing or other work clearly a part of the display area of the sign, but not including the supporting structure. No sign shall contain more than two sides visible from any street. Unless otherwise prohibited, all signs may be double-faced with the maximum area applying to one side. Signs that require posts or pylons whose surface is being used for advertising purposes shall include these surfaces in the total sign area.

Signs erected flat against the side of a building shall not extend above the height of the vertical wall or cornice to which they are attached nor may they obstruct, project over, or occupy any window surface required for light and/or ventilation.

Whenever a proposed development is bordered by more than one street, additional signage may be permitted by the Board in accordance with the provisions of this section.

All signs shall be located on the same property with the use, firm, facility, business, product, service or organization they advertise, unless otherwise provided in this section. Exceptions include: campgrounds, and similar permitted natural resource-oriented businesses located off or not visible from a major thoroughfare, shall be permitted up to two off-premise directional signs no larger than 16 square feet each, provided such directional signs do not contain advertising and are restricted to the name of the use and any necessary directions.

All signs shall be of a character and composition harmonious with the area of the Borough in which the sign is located.
