If inflatable signs are used, they will require a minimum set back from any property line, sidewalk, or parking lot a distance equal to the height of the sign plus 5 feet to avoid blocking rights-of-way or damage to adjacent properties should the sign deflate. New definitions will be added to identify certain sign types.
