(a) The planning commission may approve a master sign plan for planned developments of any size and for any existing or proposed business center or office complex of at least two i2) acres or more in size which aze under unified control ei- ther by ownership, legal association or leasehold. (b) The intent and purpose is to encourage welI- planned and designed signage within a lazge mul- tiple building or multiple use complex which ex- presses unification and integration by elements of architectrucal style, size, color, placement and lighting while at the same time allowing for rea- sonable individual business identification. An ad- ditional purpose is to encourage the elimination of existing nonconforming signs. The planning commission may grant as a bonus forwell~esigned plans up to a one hundred (100) percent increase in the number of signs and/or fifty {50) percent increase in maximum squaze footage, anci/'or may permit signs in locations other than normally per- mitted, based upon a finding that the proposed master sign plan substantially meets the intent and purpose of this subsection relating to unifica- tion and integration of signage. (c) Once approved at a public hearing by plan- ning commission, all master sign plans shall be recorded with the Jefferson County recorder's of- fice and shall constitute a covenant and must be complied with by all owners, proprietors, lessees or assigns, whether current or future.

(b) B-1 district: (1) Maximum number of structures equals thirty-five (35), the number' of structures existing as of April 1, 1976. (2) The only Iocations allowed shall be those exact locations of existing billboards on lo- cation as of April 1, 1976. Supp. No. 13 1838 7.ONING AND DEVELOPMENT (3) Maximum size and height of each billboard equals the exact size of each billboard as of April 1, 1976. It is the intent of this sub- sectionthat existing billboards which have served their useful life as evidenced by their dilapidation, unsafe or outdated rnndition or construction will cease to east, never to be replaced in the B-1 District; therefore, normal maintenance such as painting will be allowed, but replacement of structural members will not be allowed unless it is shown that the structural damage was caused by vandalism, windstorms in excess of sixty (60) miles per hour or humancaused accidents outside the control of the bill- board owner. (4) All billboazds within the B-1 district shall cease to exist by January 1, 1996. Any bill• boazd remaining after such date is subject to removal by the city and costs related to such removal shall be recovered as pro- vided by law. (c) B-2 district: (1) Maximum number allowed is sixteen (16); provided, that existing billboazds located within the B-1 district may be relocated to the B-2 district regardless of the maximum number. (2) Maximum size equals seven hundred fifty (750) square feet. (3) Setbacks shall be as required fora prin- cipal structure in the zoning district where located. (4) Maximum height shall be thirty-two (32) feet. (5) Length shall not exceed three and one•half (3i/z) times the height. (6) No new billboazd maybe located closer than six hundred (600) feet to any other bill- board facing in the same direction on the same roadway as defined by roadway name or number.
