6. Sign proportions.
C. Limit on Number of Freestanding Signs Under Common Signage Plan. The common signage plan, for
all lots with multiple uses or multiple users, shall limit the number of freestanding signs to a total of
one for each street on which the lots included in the plan have frontage and shall provide for shared
or common usage of such signs. Where street frontage exceeds five hundred feet, one additional
freestanding sign may be allowed per five hundred -foot increment.
D. Other Provisions of the Common Signage Plan. The common signage plan may contain other
restrictions as the owners of the lots may reasonably determine.
E. Consent. Common signage plan shall be signed by all owners or their authorized agents in such form
as the director shall require.
F. Procedures. Common signage plan shall be included in any development plan, site plan, planned
development or other official plan required by the city for the proposed development and shall be
processed simultaneously with such other plan.
G. Amendment. Common signage plan may be amended by filing a new common signage plan that
conforms with all requirements of the code in effect.
H. Existing Signs Not Conforming to Common Signage Plan. If any new or amended common signage
plan is filed for a property on which existing signs are located, it shall include a schedule for bringing
into conformance, all signs not conforming to the proposed amended plan or to the requirements of
this section effective on the date of submission.
I. Binding Effect. After approval of a common signage plan, no sign shall be erected, placed, painted or
maintained, except in conformance with such plan, and such may be enforced in the same way as
any provision of this chapter. In case of any conflict between the provisions of this section and
common signage plan, the section shall control.
J. Dissolution of Common Signage Plan. If the signatories of a common signage plan wish to dissolve the
common signage plan, written notice must be submitted to the director. All signs on the property for
which the common signage plan was dissolved must bring all signs into conformance with this section
within thirty days of the date written notice was submitted to the director.

designation "legal nonconforming" provided that:
1. The director determines such signs are properly maintained and do not in anyway endanger the
public;
2. The sign was installed in conformance with a valid permit or variance or complied with all
applicable laws on the date of adoption of this section.
B. A legal nonconforming sign may lose this designation if:
1. The sign is relocated or replaced; or
2. The structure or size of this sign is altered in anyway except toward compliance with this section.
This does not refer to change of copy or normal maintenance.
C. The legal nonconforming sign is subject to all requirements of this section regarding, safety,
maintenance, and repair. However, if the sign suffers more than fifty percent damage or
deterioration, as based on appraisal, it must be brought into conformance with this section or
removed.

may indicate that the circumstances of the development should be individually reviewed. It is the intent
of this section to provide a system of review of such uses so that the community is assured that the uses
are compatible with their locations and with surrounding land uses, and will further the purpose of this
title and the objectives of the Laurel comprehensive planning process.
