N/A: non -illuminated panel sign proposed 5.b When channel letters cannot be adequately accommodated, internally illuminated cabinet si s may be considered. 6 Reader boards are discouraged. N/A MATERIALS 4.c Materials used in the sign should complement the building being served b the sign. OK: aluminum panel sign with paint COLOR 4.e Color for raceway -mounted channel letters, the raceway shall match the wall color.

OK Overly intense color, (such as dayglo or fluorescent colors), are prohibited. OK: the red is equivalent to PMS 186C Use of three colors or less (black and white considered as colors) Additional colors may be approved if they contribute to the sign balance/unity. OK: two colors (white and red) proposed SIZE, SCALE, PROPORTION, AND LOCATION 4.b Signs may not exceed the size, height and setback requirements as outlined in Section 4.15 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance (unless sign has a variance). 9" x 77.5" = 0.75' x 6.46' = 4.84 sq. ft. 4 OK Appendix A.A A ratio of 1/3 text to 2/3 wall area or 1/4 text to 3/4 wall area is a good working proportioning system for placing a sign. OK Appendix A.A.4 Color, form, surface pattern, shape, and disposition of elements and openings in an architectural design can affect our perception of scale and can impact the appearance of a sign on a building. 9.d The wall sign's size must coordinate with the architectural element's size. OK: sign in rendering does not over - crowd architectural element The sign should not over -crowd the architectural element, the wall, or the sign area. Buildings and building elements should not be used as billboards. 9.a Wall signs must integrate with the building's architecture. OK ARB2019-54: Chinese Bodywork LLC panel sign HNM 5/16/19 REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES The sign placement should not obscure architectural features or details, (such as cornices, windows, columns, pilasters and paneling). OK: directory sign on fence 9.d An appropriate height for channel letters in a 30" high sign band is 18". N/A: channel letters not proposed This allows 6" of unoccupied space above and below the letters. 4" of clear space above, below, and to the sides of a channel letter sign is considered a minimum, with larger clearances required for larger sign bands. Degree of visibility, the distance from the Entrance Corridor, and the architectural design of the building/area will determine sign size, placement, and proportions. OK 4.d Lettering should be in proportion (font size and typeface style) to the sign and the building. OK Use of three typefaces or less. OK: 1 typeface proposed Additional typefaces may be approved if they contribute to a balanced/legible/unified sign design. 9.e.iv The width of the outline must be in proportion to the width of the letter. N/A: no outline proposed An outline width of 1/8" has been found to be an appropriate sign dimension. TRADEMARKS, CORPORATE LOGOS AND GRAPHICS 4.f The ARB may require that the color and scale of standard templates for trademarks, service marks, corporate logos and graphics be modified.

S.a External (or no) illumination is preferred for approved graphics/logos; N/A: no external illumination ro osed S.b I internal illumination may be considered for approval on a case -by -case basis. N/A: no internal lighting ro osed LIGHTING 9.e.i External (or no) illumination is preferred for wall signs. N/A: no external illumination proposed S.f Any internal illumination is considered to contribute to visual clutter and will be limited. N/A: no internal illumination proposed S.c Internal illumination design approval will be evaluated on size, balance, complexity, and distance from the Entrance Corridor. N/A: no internal illumination proposed ARB2019-54: Chinese Bodywork LLC panel sign HNM 5/16/19 REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES 9.e.iv The backgrounds of such cabinet signs must be made opaque (zero light N/A: no cabinet signs proposed transmission). 5.e External illumination should be shielded and not create glare.

Cabinet signs shall be constructed such that no light spills outward from the top, bottom, sides or back. 5.g All illumination shall be non -blinking. N/A: no illumination proposed 5.h An exposed light source that forms the body of a sign, (such as exposed neon N/A signs), shall not be used in the Entrance Corridors. ARB ACTIONS If LED lighting is proposed the sign drawing must state The level of illumination N/A: no illumination proposed provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliam ma neon.
