A. Setback. No off-site sign may be set nearer to the lot line adjacent to a street than the required minimum setback for the principal uses in the district in which they are placed. No sign may be erected or placed closer than fifty feet from a side or rear lot line abutting a residential district.

Such lighting shall be limited to bulbs up to eleven watts and equivalent neon lighting. In no event may an illuminated sign be placed or directed to cause glare or reflection that constitutes a nuisance in residential areas or a traffic hazard. All wiring, fitting, materials used in the construction, connection, and operation of electrically illuminated signs shall be in accordance with the provisions of the state electric code or the local electric code in effect.

C. Area. No off-site sign may exceed fifty square feet in area.

D. Height. No off-site sign shall exceed the height limitations of the district in which it is located as measured from either the grade at the sign or the grade of the nearest roadway, whichever is higher. (Ord. 523 §§ 1, 3(part), 1989)
