(a) A sign face may not exceed:

(1) 672 square feet in area;

(2) 25 feet in height; and

(3) 60 feet in length.

(b) For the purposes of this section, border and trim are included as part of the sign face, and the base, apron, supports, and other structural members, are excluded as part of the sign face.

(c) Notwithstanding the area limitation provided by subsection (a)(1) of this section, one or more temporary protrusions may be added to a sign, provided that the sign face, including the protrusions, meets the height and length limitations of subsection (a) of this section and:

(1) the area of a protrusion is located exclusively inside of the sign face border and trim; or

(2) the area of the protrusion is outside of the sign face border and trim, as indicated on the sign permit, and does not exceed 10 percent of the permitted area.

If such an arrangement is used, the sign structure or structures are considered to be one sign for all purposes. Two sign faces which together exceed 700 square feet in area may not face in the same direction.

(e) Two sign faces that face in the same direction may be presented as one face by covering both faces and the area between the faces with an advertisement, as long as the size limitations of subsection (a) of this section are not exceeded.

(f) A sign may not have a moveable protrusion unless authorized under this subchapter (relating to Electronic Signs).

(g) Two electronic sign faces may be located on the same sign structure if each sign face is visible only from a different direction of travel.
