(b) Back-to-back within 2 feet.

If 2 faces are placed back to back and are nowhere more than 2 feet apart (excluding necessary supports or uprights), the area of the sign is taken as:

(1) the area of 1 face, if the 2 faces are of equal area; and.

(2) the area of the larger face, if the 2 faces are of unequal area.
