§ 220-82. Noncommercial speech signs.

A. 

Permanent noncommercial speech signs in residential districts. Permanent noncommercial speech signs are allowed within any residential zoning district (RR-3, AR-2, AR-1, R-1-30, R-1-20, RLD, SCR-1, MR, and MH) without a permit, provided:

(1) 

No more than two noncommercial speech signs shall be erected per 100 feet of lot width at the street line; and

(2) 

No ground sign erected pursuant to this subsection shall:

(a) 

Exceed eight square feet in sign area;

(b) 

Exceed four feet in height above the adjacent ground level; or

(c) 

Interfere with vehicle sight distances from, along or to a public way.

B. 

Permanent noncommercial speech signs in all zoning districts. So as to ensure that noncommercial messages are regulated no more strictly than commercial messages, noncommercial speech may be substituted upon any conforming commercial speech sign or sign plan in lieu of commercial speech. The placement of noncommercial speech copy upon an existing and conforming commercial speech sign shall not require a site development permit.

C. 

Temporary noncommercial speech signs in all zoning districts. Temporary noncommercial speech signs may be erected in any zoning district in conformance with the requirements of this article.
