From the ordinance
The area of building mounted signs including wall, fascia, mansard, parapet, awning, roof, service island canopy signs, and suspended signs, is derived from the length of each building/structure frontage along the street where such building/structure has frontage: (i) For businesses on sites fronting on one (1) street, the sign area for each business shall not exceed one (1) square foot for each linear foot of the building frontage along the street where such building/structure has frontage. (ii) For businesses on sites fronting on two (2) or more streets, only the primary entrance frontage is measured as described in 'a' above. Auxiliary building elevations of such businesses are permitted sign area not to exceed one-half (½) square foot for each linear foot of building/structure frontage where such building has street frontage, up to a maximum of fifty (50) square feet. However, the aggregate sign area permitted for all building elevations for businesses on multiple frontages is one hundred fifty (150) square feet maximum, subject to the provisions of this section. In addition to the above, elevations which provide a noncustomer service entry, are permitted a nonilluminated building mounted wall sign of six (6) square feet in area, located adjacent to such entry.
