An architectural detail shall be applied to the edge of flat-roofed
freestanding canopy structures.

Freestanding canopy structures coloring shall be neutral in
appearance and consistent with the principal building. Bright, highly

and lens, shall not extend lower than the plane of the underside of
the canopy.
