For a wall sign, the sign area is the lesser of:

For a single sign having two faces with only one face visible from any point, the sign area is measured using only one face.

(C)

For a three-dimensional sign, the sign area is the smallest rectangle within which the largest silhouette of the sign can be enclosed.

Sign area includes a sign apron or similar feature and an area displaying a sign company name or symbol. Sign area does not include a supporting structure, pole cover, or landscape feature unless used to convey a message.

For a sign on a corner site whose allowable sign area is based on linear feet of street frontage, the maximum sign area is calculated using only the single largest street frontage.
