iv. Definitions: Definitions of road classifica-
tion apply as defined by the official Compre-
hensive Plan as adopted.
v. Application: The level at which the sign
control system applies is determined by the
type of road, as defined above, which directly
abuts the subject property.
In the case of subject property directly
abutting more than one (1) road, each desig-
nated by a different road classification type,
the less restrictive classification shall
apply in determining sign area and height.
Actual sign height is determined from lot
grade or averaged with the grade of the road
from which the sign gains its principal expo-
sure.

applies to one (1) face of a two-faced
pylon sign, or two (2) faces of a four-faced
sign, etc.

district and height restrictions as outlined in Sec-
. tion 25.7(5)b.2 of this Ordinance except that they may
