The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on September 19, 2016, completed a preliminary
review of the above-noted request.The Board took the following actions.
Regarding the conceptual design,the Board by a vote of 5:0,forwarded the following recommendation to the Board
of Supervisors:
1/ ✓
The ARB has no objection to the increased sign area up to 154 square feet and sign height not to exceed 15
feet for this particular sign design in this particular location, subject to ARB review of the materials, colors,
, illumination and landscaping. These features shall reinforce an appropriate scale along the EC and shall be
. consistent with all EC sign guidelines. Review of these items can be completed with the review of the sign
permit application. This application eliminates the possibility of having signage in addition to the two proposed.
Regarding the sign permit application,the ARB offers the following comments for the next submittal:
1. Limits on materials, colors, illumination, and the use of logos will be required to establish an appropriate
v-_ appearance for these signs in the Entrance Cor idor. 1, _
