RE: ARB-2019-41: Food Lion #253 (Pantops Shopping center) sign (TNIP 07800-00-00-0117D0)
Dear Tony,
I have reviewed the above -noted sign application. The following revisions are requested to make the
proposal consistent with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines:
1. Provide the materials of the faces, returns, and standoffs for the proposed channel letter sign on
page 1 of the sign drawing set.
2. Provide the area of the sign band in which the wall sign will be located on page 1 of the sign
drawing set (the length if the sign band is the length of the building frontage, i.e., 273.5';
however, the height of the sign band is not provided, and it is the area above the columns and
below the cornice. Ensure that there is at least 4" (preferably 6") of clearance between the bottom
of the sign and the bottom of the sign band and between the top of the sign and the top of the sign
bandibottom of the cornice).
3. Provide the standard LED illumination note on pages 2 and 3 of the sign drawing set: The level of
illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single
stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon.
4. Specify on the sign drawing of the proposed tenant panel/cabinet sign (page 3 of the sign drawing
set) which areas are opaque and which are translucent.
5. Provide the replacement lighting information (i.e., type and intensity) for the proposed cabinet
sign on page 3 of the sign drawing set.
6. Provide revision dates on all revised sign drawings.
Please respond by email within 15 days of the date of this letter indicating whether you will or will not
proceed with these revisions. Your decision to make the revisions will suspend the 60-day review period
associated with your original submittal. If you choose to complete the revisions, please email the revised
drawings to me. If you choose not to proceed with these revisions, staff will be unable to approve your
application. Failure to respond to this letter shall be presumed to be a request to proceed to action on the
application without further revisions.
If you have any questions about this action, please contact me as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Heather McMahon, Senior Planner

RE: ARB-2019-41: Food Lion #253 (Pantops Shopping Center) sign (TMP 07800-00-000117D0)
Dear Tony,
I have reviewed the above -noted sign application. The following revisions are requested to make the
proposal consistent with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines:
1. As per criterion 8.e.iv of the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines, "Cabinet signs shall have a non -
illuminated background, or an opaque (zero light transmission) background." The revised sign
drawing, page 3, states that the background is translucent rather than opaque which does not
comply with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines criterion stated above. Revise.
2. Your revised sign drawing page 3 does not provide the replacement lighting information (i.e.,
type and intensity) for the proposed cabinet sign that was requested in the last comments letter
dated 4-22-19. Provide this information on page 3. If the replacement is in kind, state as much on
the sign drawing page 3.
3. Remove one of the two standard LED illumination notes on page 3 of the sign drawing set: The
level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a
single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon.
4. Provide revision dates on all revised sign drawings.
Please respond by email within 15 days of the date of this letter indicating whether you will or will not
proceed with these revisions. Your decision to make the revisions will suspend the 60-day review period
associated with your original submittal. If you choose to complete the revisions, please email the revised
drawings to me. If you choose not to proceed with these revisions, staff will be unable to approve your
