RE: ARB -2019-3: UVA Community Credit Union signs (TMP 056A2-01-00-03000)
Dear Lewis,
We have reviewed your request for the above -noted sign(s) and have approved the design(s) as illustrated in the attached
drawing(s) with original drawing date of 11/28/18 and latest revision date of 1/24/19.
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.
3. The wall sign shall be centered within the sign band area so that there is a minimum of four -and -a -half (4.5) inches
of clearance between the edges of the sign and the top and bottom of the sign band area.
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 monument sign
cabinet 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. The wall sign has been approved as a non -illuminated sign (no lighting). To add lighting, the applicant must first
obtain ARB approval and an approved electrical permit.
4. 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.
5. 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,
Heather McMahon, Senior Planner
