Wheatland Municipal Code Ch. 19.50 Industrial Districts

An "industrial sign" is, for the purpose of this chapter, defined as any sign, except for a temporary subdivision or real estate sign, in an industrial zoning which directs attention to a business, profession, commodity or service provided, sold or offered upon the premises where the sign is located. An industrial sign can be of any type or combination of two or more types, as provided in this chapter, not to exceed the total area calculation. Under no circumstances shall all signs taken in aggregate for any single parcel exceed three hundred square feet.

(Ord. 405 § 4 (Exh. A), 2007)

Industrial signs are permitted in any industrial zoning district.

(Ord. 405 § 4 (Exh. A), 2007)
