Proposal
To revise the comprehensive sign plan for the Republic Business Center to coordinate with the proposed building
renovation for Plaza 285. See Attachment A for the applicant's proposal.
Context
This site is surrounded by a mix of office, retail, and institutional development. The ARB recently reviewed proposals
for a dental office across Whitewood Road to the north, and for the Albemarle Countertop Company a short distance
north on the opposite side of Hydraulic Road.
Visibility
The north and west elevations of the building are readily visible from the Hydraulic Road Entrance Corridor. The south
elevation has more limited visibility due to screening by trees located on and off the site.

SITE/PROJECT HISTORY
The building at this site was constructed in the 1980s, prior to the establishment of Hydraulic Road as an Entrance Corridor. It has been known as Beech
Tree Plaza, Republic Plaza, and Republic Business Center. A site plan was approved for the building in 1981 (SDP-1981-05, see Attachment B). In 2003,
the ARB reviewed and approved new window openings for the building and established a Comprehensive Sign Plan for the building (ARB-2003-138,
see Attachment Q. Staff met with the applicant recently to discuss the details and review process for the current proposal. The applicant has indicated
that existing building systems and materials have reached the end of their lifespan.

When illumination is required, the preferred solution is to externally
illuminate the sign — in other words, to shine a light on the sign. External
illumination is preferred because it allows consistency with the daytime

GUIDELINE
ISSUE
RECOMMENDATION
image of the sign. External lighting appears to the viewer as reflected
light and allows the focus of the sign to be the original overall shape,
color and complete design of the sign. Internal lighting produces a
fragmented, rather than unified, sign image at night compared to external
lighting and may project light that is distracting to the viewer. Similarly,
exposed light sources that form the body of a sign (such as, but not
limited to, exposed or bare neon) are not appropriate for the Entrance
Corridors. They can produce glare and, generally, do not achieve the
subtle character and compatibility that is the goal for the Entrance
Corridors.
5b
Since external illumination does not fit every case, individual channel
letters — a type of internally illuminated sign that has less visual clutter
impact on the Entrance Corridors — may also be approved. Channel
letters are generally the preferred type of internally illuminated wall sign
because they project the total sign and are identifiable with the daytime
image of the sign. When channel letters cannot be adequately
accommodated, internally illuminated cabinet signs may be considered. If
cabinet signs are utilized, the backgrounds of such signs must be made
opaque (zero light transmission).
5c
External illumination is also preferred for approved graphics/logos;
internal illumination may be considered for approval on a case -by -case
basis. The Board will evaluate the specific design for size (adjusted in
proportion to the accompanying lettering), balance, complexity, and
distance from and relationship to the Entrance Corridor. These factors
will determine the extent of internal illumination that can be approved.
5d
These solutions are intended to reduce glare, visual clutter and distraction
along the streetscape, to provide for coordinated appearances along the
Entrance Corridors, to increase visual continuity, to achieve a balance of
business identification with order and continuity, and to limit negative
impacts along the County's Entrance Corridors.
5e
External Illumination: Lighting should be shielded and not create glare.
Lighting should be aimed so as not to project illumination beyond the
sign. All external light sources shall be white.
5f
Internal Illumination: Any internal illumination is considered to
contribute to visual clutter and will be limited.

All Illumination shall be non -blinking.

not shine beyond the edge of the sign.
iii. Internal illumination: Channel letters with translucent faces shall be

iv. Cabinet signs shall have a non -illuminated background, or an opaque
