The Planning Commission may grant as a bonus for well designed plans up to a one hundred percent (100%) increase in the number of signs and/or fifty percent (50%) increase in maximum square footage, and/or may permit signs in locations other than normally permitted, based upon a finding that the proposed master sign plan substantially meets the intent and purpose of this subsection relating to unification and integration of signage. Once approved at a public hearing by Planning Commission, all master sign plans shall be recorded with the Jefferson County recorder's office and shall constitute a convenant and must be complied with by all owners, proprietors, lessees or assigns, whether current or future.
