The sign must be a wall sign, a monument sign, or mounted to a fence; fence-mounted signs can't exceed the fence's height and must sit at least five feet back from property lines under subsection (6). Freestanding pole or pylon signs and roof signs are banned outright in residential zones under subsections (4) and (5).

A home occupation sign over three square feet, illuminated beyond code limits, or set up as a freestanding pole sign violates § 22C.160.150; the city can order it removed or reduced to conform.
