However, a second sign may permitted where a site <br /> has more than one vehicular entrance on different sides of the building. <br /> (b) A freestanding identification sign must be placed perpendicular to <br /> approaching vehicular traffic so that it is clearly visible and does not <br /> obstruct the view of any other identification or information sign. <br /> (c) A freestanding identification sign must be located at least 10-feet from <br /> any property line or driveway. <br /> (2) Wall Signs <br /> 124 Staff is suggesting removal of this restriction because Section 6.12.12(C)(1)permits Wall Signs to be painted on <br /> a building. Staff is suggesting that a painted wall sign not be restricted in the EDDs when they are allowed in all <br /> other non-residential zoning districts <br /> 125 Staff is suggesting that specific reference be drawn to Section 6.12.6(Prohibited Signs in all zoning districts). <br /> Since roof signs are prohibited in all zoning districts,staff suggests deleting the redundancy here. <br /> 126 Staff is suggesting this for deletion because it is already prohibited in Section 6.12.6(C). <br /> Orange County,North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 6-101 <br />
