All districts
Sign regulations apply in every use district (Sec. 9.2). Certain signs are exempt, including one governmental flag up to 40 sq ft and cornerstones under 4 sq ft (Sec. 9.3.B). Prohibited citywide: signs in or over a public right-of-way (except limited exceptions), signs that interfere with intersection sight distance, signs that imitate official traffic signs, cabinet or box signs, and portable signs including A-frame/sandwich-board signs and vehicle-mounted signs (Sec. 9.3). Freestanding sign placement is organized into Front, Incidental, Directional, and Drive-In/Drive-Through sign zones (Sec. 9.5.1). Headline figures cell-verified against a rendered image of Table 9.5.2-A (Sec. 9.5.2, PDF pp.8-10): for non-residential uses in a Residential district, a single-faced freestanding sign is capped at 2 per site, 20 sq ft, 4 feet tall (ground) or 8 feet (post-and-arm); a wall sign is capped at 3 percent of the front facade area (2 percent on side/rear facades, max length 80 percent of facade length). For non-residential single-use sites outside DMX, a single-faced freestanding sign is capped at 2 per site, height per Table 9.5.2-B, and a wall sign at 5 percent of front facade area (3 percent side/rear). In DMX, a single-faced freestanding sign is capped at 2 per front sign zone (minimum 50 ft apart), 8 sq ft (ground) or 8 sq ft (post-and-arm, 4 sq ft if illuminated), 4 feet tall (ground) or 8 feet (post-and-arm). Window signs citywide are capped at 25 percent of window area with a limit of 1 illuminated window sign. This pack does not reproduce every row of Table 9.5.2-A (campus/integrated-center variants, directional and projecting sign figures, and the district-group height/area cross-reference in Table 9.5.2-B); confirm those specific figures directly against the live tables. A waiver of sign regulations may be granted in connection with a Conditional Zoning District, Special Use Permit, Development Plan, or Major Subdivision Plan review (Sec. 9.3.D). Chapter 9 was last updated at Supplement 6, one supplement behind the Chapter 2/3/5/6 baseline of this pack; confirm the current PDF before relying on a sign figure.
