This would allow for six 200 sq. ft. signs and one 154 sq. ft. sign.
4) Clear distance between signs:
Area of Sign 1 + Area of Sign 2 must be equal to or less than 2.0
Distance between Sign 1 & sign 2
EXAMPLE: 200 sq. ft. (Area Sign 1) + 200 sq ft (Area Sign 2) = 2.0
200 ft. (Distance between Sign 1 & Sign 2
(permissible)
Therefore 2 signs, each having the maximum size of 200 sq. ft. each,
would have to be 200 ft. apart or greater.
EXAMPLE: 200 sq. ft. (Area Sign 1) + 100 sq. ft. (Area Sign 2) = 1.94
155 ft. (Clear distance between Sign 1 & Sign 2
1.94 is permissible
To find minimum distance between signs divide by 2.0
EXAMPLE: 200 sq. ft. (Area Sign 1)+ 100 (Area of Sign 2) = 150 ft
2.0
Clear distance between signs need to be 150 ft or greater
EXAMPLE: 150 sq. ft. (Area of Sign 1) + 125 (Area of Sign 2) = 2.523
109 ft. (Clear distance between Sign 1 & Sign 2)
2.523 is not permissible therefore 109 ft. is too small. To find the
minimum clear distance you would have to do the following:
(150 sq. ft. + 125 sq. ft.)ft. + 125 sq. ft.) = 137.5 ft
2.0
therefore 137.5 ft. or greater is permissible
11
EXAMPLE: 80 sq ft(Area of Sign 1) + 80 sq ft (Area of Sign 2) = 1.88
85 ft. (Clear distance between Sign I & Sign 2)
1.88 is permissible
5) Distance from property lines. Sign Area =
10
Distance from sign to nearest adjacent property line.
(Not street right-of-way (ROW) line.)
EXAMPLE: 200 sq ft (Sign Area) = 20 ft.
10
20 ft = distance from sign to nearest adjacent property line
EXAMPLE: 80 sq. ft. (Sign Are = 8 ft
10
8 ft = distance from sign to nearest adjacent property line
The distance between the aforementioned sign examples would require the
signs to be:
200 sq. ft. + 80 sq tt. = 140 ft. apart. Factor of 2 or less
2
6) Any banners on property other than wall banners must meet and are
included as part of freestanding sign area unless considered temporary and
approved by planning and zoning administrator. in general temporary bannef

SECTION II: ALLOWABLE SIGN AREAS FOR WALL SIGNS
(INCLUDING PROTRUDING SIGNS & ROOF SIGNS)
1) Maximum Area of Wall Sign Allowed = 10% of the area of the building wall
for walls located within 0 ft. to 100 ft. from the street ROW (right-of-way) line.
2) Maximum Area of Wall Sign Allowed = 12% of the area of the building wall
for walls located within 100 ft. to 200 ft. from the street ROW (right-of-way) line.
3) Maximum Area of Wall Sign Allowed = 14% of the area of the building wall for
walls located more than 200 ft. from the street ROW (right-of-way) line.
4) Wall banners up for 6030 days or less are considered temporary, all others are
considered permanent as shall adhere to applicable sign standards. These
banners must be logged and recorded in at the City of Rexburg to assure 6030 day
limits, which are twice ver calendar year, but not consecutive. These banners may be
up with permanent wall signs as long as the coverage does not exceed 20% of wall.
The only ex . n to this is by going through .h Planning d Zonin
"a«-o.�..,,,,.s..,�' This 20% coverage is the total of the permanent and temporary signs
combined. -Any banners up over 60 days are considered permanent and must adhere
to permanent sign standards. These banners will be covered as aforementioned in
maximum area (depending on distance from right-of-way (RO99 of wall signs and
must have a sign permit. A business wishing to have an area for wall mounted banner
signs that allow interchangeability of promotional signs may do so by providing a
tasteful permanent Iookinp frame that does not include strings or other temporary
looking devices. These "permanent" banner sign locations shall be counted towards
maximum wall sign allotment, and does not include the wall banner 20% provision
