| (a) Except as provided by subsection (f) of this section,
a sign may not be erected that exceeds an overall height of 42-1/2
feet.
(b) A roof sign that has a solid sign face surface
may not at any point exceed 24 feet above the roof level.
(c) A roof sign that has an open sign face in which
the uniform open area between individual letter or shapes is not less
than 40 percent of the total gross area of the sign face may not at
any point exceed 40 feet above the roof level.
(d) The lowest point of a projecting roof sign or a
wall sign must be at least 14 feet above grade.
(e) For the purposes of this section, height is measured
from the centerline of the main-traveled way closest to the sign face,
at a point perpendicular to the sign location. A frontage road of
a controlled access highway or freeway is not considered the main-traveled
way for purposes of this subsection. In the event that the main-traveled
way that is perpendicular to the sign structure is below grade, sign
height will be measured from the base of the sign structure.
(f) The height measurement does not include any renewable
energy device such as solar panels or wind turbines that are attached
to the sign structure above the sign face to improve the energy efficiency
of the sign structure.
