"Marquee" means a projecting sign that is part of a permanent entryway or entry canopy and traditionally associated with theatres. For purposes of this title, any sign fulfilling the same function as a theatre sign shall be considered a marquee. A marquee sometimes includes a projecting vertical sign which may extend above the cornice line of a building. Marquees may be animated and may include internally illuminated display surfaces for changeable lettering as well as externally mounted lighting. A marquee is not a porte-cochere or a fin sign.
