City Council Ordinance 64WALL SIGN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
The City Council of Monticello hereby ordains the following ordinance amendment:
SECTION 10 -3 -9 -(E) -2-(b)-1 . . . Currently reads as follows:
Option A: Under Option A, only wall signs shall be allowed. The maximum
number of signs on any principal building shall be two (2) and in all cases
each sign shall be placed on a separate wall (frontage). The maximum size
of wall signs under Option A shall be determined by taking twenty percent (200)
of the gross silhouette area of the front of the building, up to three hundred
(300) square feet. Where the principal building is on a corner lot and thus
faces two (2) public streets, the size of each sign may be determined in the
manner described above. If however, the building has only one (1) frontage
and the owner elects to erect two signs, the total square footage of both
signs may not exceed the maximum allowable square footage determined from the
front building silhouette.
For purposes of determining the gross area of the silhouette of the principal
building, the silhouette shall be defined as that area within an outline drawing
of the principal building as viewed from the front lot line or from the related
public street (s) .
AMENDED TO READ:
Option A: Under Option A, only wall signs shall be allowed. The maximum
number of signs on any principal building shall be six signs (four product
identification signs and two premise identification signs), with only two walls
allowed for the display of the signs. Each wall shall contain no more than
two product identification signs and one premise identification sign. The
total maximum size of wall signs shall be determined by taking twenty percent
of the gross silhouette area of the front of the building, up to three hundred
(300) square feet, whichever is less.
