3(r) exempts them from the sign-permit and area-limit system altogether by defining the exemption around material, placement and duration. To qualify, the sign must be painted directly onto the window glass or made of paper, cloth or similar expendable material, must be affixed only to the interior window surface (not free-standing or projecting), must be up for only a short period of time, and must promote a particular sale of products or merchandise rather than serve as permanent identification. 12 that apply to a business's permanent signage, such as the C1 district's cap of one-half square foot per foot of occupancy frontage or the 400-square-foot ceiling on total signage per occupancy in most commercial districts. 2(t), counting against the district's overall sign allowance. 3.
