1. Definitions: By adding a definition for “Recreational Trail” and “Sign, Recreational Trail Facing”.
2. Regulations of signs; by sign type: By adding regulations for this new type of sign.
3. Regulations of signs, by district: By adding this sign type to the allowed signs in Residence A, B & C Zoning Districts.
Recreational Trail Facing Signs must be wall signs, cannot be illuminated, and are limited to 50% of the area of the allowable wall sign for that district.
These signs will not count against the total signage allowed for building or tenant.
These signs are restricted to non-residential uses.
Allowing the signs in Residence A, B & C Zoning districts makes them allowable in all districts which accounts for the numerous parcels located along the trail.
