(2)

With the exception of on-premises signs lawfully permitted and erected on April 14, 1983, all on-premises signs and sign structures shall be contained wholly within the premises upon which they are located and shall not extend onto the public right-of-way. However, on-premises projecting signs may extend up to ten feet outward from the building to which they are attached as long as such extension is no closer than two feet behind the curbline, and such signs shall have a clearance of 14 feet above the public right-of-way.

(3)

Spectacular signs shall be prohibited, except for automatically changeable advertising signs which display no more than one message every three seconds.
