5. Window signage (includes graphics) shall be permitted on the same building walls that <br />have, or are allowed to have, wall signage pursuant to Item A above. Window signage <br />shall be deducted from the allowable wall signage area. <br />Within the COR2 district, where more conventional suburban development is expected, rather than the <br />neo-traditional development planned for the other COR sub -districts, the following standards apply: <br />A. Wall, canopy or marquee sign. Total sign area may not exceed 15 percent of the front building <br />facade. At least 50 percent of the signage area must be placed on the measured wall with <br />remaining signage area, if desired, distributed on any other wall. Sign height shall not exceed the <br />top of the parapet wall or, if no parapet wall, sign height shall not exceed the height of the <br />eaves. The gross surface area of a wall, canopy or marquee sign may be increased by ten <br />percent if such wall sign: <br />1. Consists only of individual, outlined alphabetic, numeric and/or symbolic characters without <br />background except that provided by the building surface to which the sign is to be affixed; <br />2. Illumination, if any, is achieved through shielded illumination, shielded silhouette lighting, or <br />shielded spot lighting but not any lighting where the light source is visible or exposed on the <br />face or sides of the characters; and <br />3. A wall, canopy or marquee sign may be located on the outermost wall of any principle <br />building but shall not project more than 16 inches from the wall to which the sign is to be <br />affixed. A wall sign shall not project higher than the parapet line of the wall to which the <br />sign is to be affixed. <br />B. Window signs are restricted to 30 percent of the area of the window in which the sign is to be <br />displayed. <br />In all COR sub -districts, restaurants and cafes shall be permitted one (1) wall -mounted display featuring <br />the actual menu as used at the dining table, to be contained within a shallow wood or metal case and <br />clearly visible through a glass front. The display case shall be attached to the building wall, next to the <br />main entrance, at a height of approximately five feet (5'), shall not exceed a total area of two square <br />feet, and may be lighted. This signage is allowed in addition to other permitted wall signage. <br />Projecting Signs <br />Projecting signs are permitted within all COR sub -districts. <br />Projecting signs, including graphics or icon signs, mounted perpendicular to the <br />building wall, are encouraged in all sub -districts, provided the following <br />standards are met: <br />A. The sign area shall not exceed six (6) square feet. <br />B. The distance from the ground to the lower edge of the signboard <br />shall be ten feet or greater. <br />Design Framework — The COR <br />February 28, 2012 <br />Page 36 <br />
