The sign or combination of signs shall be mounted within six feet (6') of the curb or pavement and are required to face or run parallel with oncoming vehicular traffic. The sign or combinations of signs may be mounted on the building, pole base or any other structure provided the signage meets the setback and height requirements indicated above.
