We have designed many signs in Pinellas Park, FL and this computation is helpful to start design. Sign size (area) and sign height shall be computed as follows:
(a)
Sign size (area). The sign size (area) shall be computed on a per sign face basis; however it does not include any framework, bracing, fence or wall, that is reasonably necessary to support the sign. (Ord. No. 3509, § 1, 1-11-2007)
(b)
Sign height. The sign height of a freestanding sign shall be computed as the distance from the base of the sign at ground level to the highest portion of the sign structure. However, in cases where the ground level cannot reasonably be determined, sign height shall be derived on the assumption that the elevation of the ground at the base of the sign is equal to the average elevation at the front property line of the zone lot; and if the sign is on a parcel adjacent to an overpass or elevated roadway from which the sign is primarily designed to be viewed, the height of the sign shall be measured (i) from the highest point of the overpass or elevated roadway at that portion of the crown of the roadway surface adjacent to the parcel
