(a)
Applicability.
The following residential signs (with
their respective governing requirements stated) are permitted in the
following zones and within residential developments approved for development
in all other CPDD and NFPDD zones:
(b)
Residential development identification signs.
(1)
Location.
Must be located at and incorporated as part
of the development entry or entries. When constructed on an entry
median, must be located so that it does not project into or encroach
upon any sidewalk or sidewalk setback. When not on an entry median,
these signs may not be built as a separate structure and placed in
a location in front of any wall built as part of the development entry.
(2)
Design.
The sign must be designed so that it is fully
integrated with the overall development entry (or multiple entries)
design or with a mall design when identifying one development among
several when located at or along a common entryway (drive, street,
etc.). Signs may be designed to be either part of a development’s
entry feature wall, or a detached monument sign placed on an entry
median. When designed as a median sign, the sign must not be taller
than five (5) feet nor longer than eight (8) feet. Median signs must
have a masonry base that is the same predominant building material
as that of the development being identified.
(c)
Site directional and information signs.
(1)
Location.
Uniform in selected sites within the development.
(2)
Design.
Must be of a uniform design throughout the CPDD.
Signs must be mounted on a 3-1/2-inch diameter (square cross-section)
tubular pole at a uniform height of 6 feet above grade. The poles
must be colored dark bronze (and painted with polyester urethane paint).
(3)
Lighting.
Directional and information signs will not
be illuminated.
