Section 174-52G currently reads: Window neon-type signs advertising products are not <br /> permitted. <br /> 1. By deleting Section 174-52G. <br /> Explanation: This subsection is being deleted to allow for limited use of neon signs as specified <br /> under changes to Section 174-55E. <br /> D. Section 174-54B currently reads: one (1) bulletin or announcement board or identification <br /> sign for a permitted nonresidential, building or use., not more than six (6) square feet in <br /> signboard area, is permitted. For churches, institutions, two (2) bulletin or announcement or <br /> identification signs are permitted on each building. Each church or institution sign be not more <br /> than ten (10) square feet in signboard area.

By changing the first sentence of Section 174-54B to read: <br /> One (1) freestanding identification sign for a permitted nonresidential building or use, not <br /> more than six (6) square feet in signboard area, is permitted. <br /> Explanation: Bulletin board and announcement signs are used by the churches and other <br /> religious institutions to identify who is giving the sermon and other special activities. Such <br /> signs are covered under the next provision. By deleting this specification provides a <br /> nonresidential building or use to have a minimal size permanent freestanding sign. <br /> 11. By inserting into the second and third sentences of Section 174-54B the words "synagogues" <br /> and "mosques" and changing these sentences to read: <br /> For churches, synagogues, mosques or institutions, one (1) bulletin or announcement or <br /> identification sign on each building and/or one (1) freestanding bulletin or announcement <br /> or identification sign is permitted. Each church, synagogue, mosque or institution <br /> building sign shall be governed by Section 174-55 B. <br /> Explanation: The addition of synagogues and mosques is to be inclusive of different religious <br /> faiths. Two building signs did not make sense, particularly after the change to the first sentence <br /> of Section 174-55B. These changes would allow these facilities the opportunity to have an <br /> ,announcement sign on the building and, particularly for those churches with larger building <br /> setbacks, the opportunity to have a traditional freestanding announcement sign. <br /> 20 <br />
