Regional commercial uses, such as shopping malls and mixed-use developments with multiple street frontages may be allowed additional EMC’s subject to review and approval by the City Manager or designee.

(2) The face of an EMC shall be oriented to prevent direct glare onto any adjacent properties.

(b) Size Limitations:

(1) The maximum illuminated (live) area of an EMC shall be permitted at 50 square feet. An EMC larger than 50 square feet only may be allowed as a Special Use Permit by the Mayor and City Council, with the advice and consent of the Zoning Board of Appeals, in accordance with Section 47-5.2.

(1) The changeable copy of an EMC may not be animated, flashing or scrolling, and may not include video clips. However graphics of stationary objects with no movement, animation, flashing or scrolling shall be allowed. The copy may be changed not more than once every 10 seconds.

(2) EMC’s shall not produce any sounds.

(3) EMC Illumination Measurement Criteria: The illuminance of an EMC shall be measured with an illuminance meter set to measure foot-candles accurate to at least two decimals. Illuminance shall be measured with the EMC off, and again with the EMC displaying a white image for a full color-capable EMC, or a solid message for a single-color EMC. All measurements shall be taken as close as practical to a perpendicular plane of the sign at the distance determined by the total square footage of the EMC as set forth in the accompanying Sign Area of a Sign versus Measurement Distance Table (Exhibit D).

(4) Illumination Limits: The difference between the off and solid-message measurements using the EMC Measurement Criteria shall not exceed 0.3 foot-candles over ambient lighting conditions. In no event shall the illumination of any sign, resulting from any internal or external artificial light source, exceed one hundred (100) foot-candles at the sign face. All artificial illumination shall be so designed, located, shielded, and directed as to prevent the casting of direct light upon adjacent property or streets.

(5) Dimming Capabilities: All permitted EMC’s shall be equipped with a sensor or other device that automatically determines the ambient illumination and is programmed to automatically dim according to ambient light conditions, or that can be adjusted to comply with the 0.3 foot-candle maximum measurement over ambient lighting conditions.

(6) Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance: All permitted EMC’s shall comply with Title 47, Part 15 of the Code of Federal Regulations (47 CFR 15) which governs unlicensed radio transmissions, including unintentional transmissions from electronic devices.
