RE: ARB-2018-127 Rio Hill Center Sign
Dear Beth,
I have reviewed your plans originally dated 9/26/18, revised 10/29/18, and most recently revised 12/20/18 for the above -
noted sign and have approved the design as illustrated in the attached drawings. You may consider this letter your
Certificate of Appropriateness.
This approval is specifically conditioned on the following:
1. Execution of the design indicated on the final approved plans, attachments, materials, samples, and other submittal
items presented.
2. The level of illumination produced by the LED lights shall not exceed the level of illumination produced by a
single stroke of 30 milliamp neon.
Please note the following:
1. Any changes in the approved design will require a new application and additional review.
2. "Opaque" means that light will not pass through the material. Consequently, the color of the background portion
of the face of the sign will not be visible when the sign is internally illuminated at night. If you have any question
about this requirement for an opaque background, do not proceed with the construction or installation of the sign
until you have spoken with County staff.
3. This ARB approval is only one approval required prior to installing a sign. An approved sign permit is also
required. Please do not proceed with the construction or installation of your sign until you have received your
signed permit. If you have questions about the status of a sign permit application, please contact the permit intake
staff at 296-5832.
4. Zoning, building, and other approvals may still be pending for your sign permit. This approval is only for
the Architectural Review Board/Entrance Corridor.
If you have any questions concerning this action, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
*-�tu pdlk�
