Sec. 1407. Sign Area Computation:

Kings County Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Kings County

  • A. The Aggregate Sign Area is the sum of the entire area contained within the sign frame(s), cabinet(s), fixture(s) or design(s) including all ornamentation, super graphics, or other decoration used to attract attention.

  • B. Structural elements that are clearly incidental to the display of a sign are not counted as part of the sign’s area.

  • C. Only one face of a double-faced sign shall be counted in computing the permitted area of the sign. If the sign is multifaced (three or more faces), then the third or subsequent faces shall be counted in computing the permitted area of the sign.

  • D. The total sign area for a use is calculated as the sum of the sign areas of all types of signs on the site pertaining or associated with the use, excluding signs that are exempt or specifically not counted as part of the total sign area.

SIGN AREA MEASUREMENT

Sec. 1408. Signs by Zoning District: Each zoning district within this Development Code contains a list of the type of signs allowed in the particular zoning district as well as those signs that require a zoning permit. Refer to the pertinent Article of this Development Code to determine the type of signage allowed for a particular zoning district. In the event of a direct conflict between a sign regulation contained in this Article and any other article of this Development Code, the regulations stated in this Article shall take precedence. If two apparently conflicting sign regulations stated in this Development Code can be harmonized in a manner so as to give effect to both provisions, an interpretation that allows for such harmonization shall be deemed correct unless that interpretation conflicts with the policy stated at Section 1402.D, above.
