(2) Any sign which is displayed on any roof or mansard roof, or when attached to a building extends above the lowest edge of any portion of the roof or mansard roof. (3) Any sign which has a vertical clearance of less than nine feet or projects, extends, or is otherwise displayed over or above any public street, park, other public places or pedestrian way, except as may be permitted by section 3-62 or chapter 22. (4)Any sign for product advertising when visible to the general public. A sign containing only the name of a business is not a sign for product advertising.
