B. “Portable type sign” means any sign which is not permanently affixed to the ground or a permanent building or structure and which may be moved or transported with ease.

C. “Sign” means any medium, including its structural and component parts, which is used or intended to be used out of doors to attract attention to its subject matter, for advertising or any other purpose, other than solely for the surface of a building. In computing the area of an allowed sign, only one side of a double-sided sign shall be counted for allowable sign computation. Historical lettering 50 years old or older as of date of passage of this ordinance on the surface of a permanent building or structure shall not be considered a sign.
