Summary
Window signs in Kings County's commercial districts face no numeric limit and don't count toward a business's aggregate sign area, but each one is capped at 15% of the window it's on.
Window signs. No Limitation. Not calculated as part of the aggregate sign area per use. ... Signs shall cover no more than 15% of a single window's surface area.
Full Breakdown
Table 6-3 of the Development Code treats window signs differently from every other commercial sign type. Business identification signs are capped by linear feet of building frontage and folded into a property's aggregate sign area, but window signs are excluded from that aggregate calculation entirely and face no cap on how many a business can display. The only limit is per-window: signage can't cover more than 15% of any single window's surface area. The standard applies across the CN, CS, CT, CH and CR commercial zoning districts.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding the 15% per-window coverage cap is a Development Code violation, enforceable as an infraction under Sec. 2403; repeat violations of the same provision within 12 months can be charged as a misdemeanor, with each day of noncompliance a separate offense.
