What signs can my business have in Macomb Township?

Sign rules live in Chapter 20 of the Code of Ordinances. For a typical commercial building you get two main allowances. Wall signage: 1 square foot per lineal foot of principal building frontage up to 150 feet, plus 0.10 square feet per foot beyond that, with a floor of 32 square feet; secondary road-facing elevations get up to 50 percent of that area and non-street elevations abutting nonresidential land get 20 percent (Sec. 20-6). Window signs up to 25 percent of street-level glass need no permit; awning signs ride the valance; projecting signs are prohibited outside the Town Center district.

Ground sign: one per parcel, 7 feet tall and 40 square feet per face, set 10 feet back from the right-of-way and out of the clear vision triangle, with modifiers that subtract 8 square feet in the CF, O-1, and C-1 districts and add area, height, or a second sign for major-road frontage over 300 feet, 120 foot rights-of-way, and multi-tenant parcels (Sec. 20-7). Electronic message boards are capped at 32 square feet on buildings and 60 percent of area on ground signs. Permits come first for everything except the no-permit categories in Sec. 20-4.
