Voids between the sign face and the sign structure are prohibited. Either the <br />sign face shall utilize the full width of the sign structure or coverings that are <br />architecturally consistent with the rest of the sign shall be used to fill any <br />voids. The intent is to have the sign be fully architecturally integrated. <br />C. Materials and design for freestanding signs shall be complementary to the <br />materials and design of the buildings for the related development. For <br />example, if the fagade of the building is made of brick or brick veneer, a <br />complementary freestanding sign would also include brick. <br />d. Landscaping shall be provided at the base of the sign equal to the area of the <br />sign. Landscaping shall be complementary to and designed in concert with the <br />landscaping for the overall site. The design of the landscaping shall be such <br />that natural growth will not obscure the sign from the public right-of-way. <br />e. The minimum letter height on a freestanding sign shall be 12 inches. For <br />freeway freestanding signs the minimum letter height shall be 24 inches. The <br />intent is to limit the clutter of text on the sign and increase readability for the <br />motoring public, thereby providing for public safety. <br />The maximum letter height on a freestanding sign shall be 32 inches. For <br />freeway freestanding signs the maximum letter height shall be 48 inches. The <br />intent is to limit the negative visual impact of large text size. <br />g. Freeway freestanding signs shall include the city logo within the top 1/3 of the <br />sign. The intent is to help identify the site as being located within the city of <br />Colton. The logo area shall not be counted towards the total sign area and <br />shall be exempted from the height maximum. The logo shall be illuminated at <br />night. <br />6. Marquee or Changeable Copy Sign. These types of signs shall be considered to be the <br />same as any other type of sign and shall be regulated by their location, i.e. if located <br />on a wall, they shall be deemed wall signs. <br />18.50.100 Allowed Permanent On Premise Sign Standards <br />Table 18.50-2 lists the development standards for all on -premise signs based on use type and <br />zoning district, as well as allowed sign type.
