See ARB requirements next pages.) ❑ Yes (This sign will be constructed in an Entrance Corridor and it does meet the conditions of a Waive Fee Comprehensive Sign Review. See ARB requirements next pages.) ❑ No (This sign will not be constructed in an Entrance Corridor) $ 0.00 FEE TOTAL (Please add all the amounts checked in sections I — 3): FREESTANDING SIGNS A. Submittal Requirements ❑ Site plan or latest approved plat showing, to scale, the proposed location of the sign(s) with dimensions. ❑ Distance from the sign to the property lines and/or edge of the VDOT right-of-way. ❑ If the sign will be located in an easement, a letter of approval from the easement holder will be required. ® A to -scale color illustration of the proposed sign showing ® Dimensions of the sign, including overall height from the ground; cabinet size, length, width and depth; base size, etc. (Be sure to also include these dimensions on the diagrams provided in the Sign Permit Application packet) ® Proposed lettering and/or graphics in their proposed location. ® Entrance Corridor Requirements: If the sign is to be constructed in an Entrance Corridor, also provide a color illustration of the front and side elevations of the sign showing: o If internally illuminated, indicate which areas of the sign are opaque and which are illuminated. Internally illuminated cabinet signs must have opaque backgrounds. (Opaque materials don't allow light to pass through. When lit only from behind, the color of an opaque material cannot be detected nor can objects be seen through it.) o Identification of proposed materials and colors. Include standard color id numbers (Pantone, Benjamin Moore, Acrylic, etc.) for all materials, text, graphics, base, faces, trim caps, returns, etc. o Provide accurate physical samples of all colors proposed, preferably in the material proposed. (Paint chips that accurately reflect the proposed colors are acceptable.) o Provide a site plan showing proposed landscaping around the sign, including botanical names and planting sizes. o Additional submittal materials may be required if review by the Architectural Review Board is necessary. (The applicant will be notified if this requirement applies.) M M WALL SIGNS ❑ A drawing, to scale, showing dimensions of the sign (length, height, depth). ❑ Elevation drawing(s) or modified photograph of the entire building, to scale and in color, showing ❑ The sign location on the building, sign height above grade, and the length of building frontage. (Be sure to also include these dimensions on the diagrams provided in Appendix B.) ❑ Sign lettering and/or graphics in their proposed location. ❑ Entrance Corridor Requirements: If the sign is to be constructed in an Entrance Corridor also provide a color illustration of the front and side elevations of the sign showing: o Indication of sign type (channel letters, cabinet, panel, etc.). o Indicate on the drawings the proposed materials and colors. Include standard color identification numbers (Pantone, Benjamin Moore, Acrylic, etc.) for all materials, text, graphics, faces, trim caps, etc. For channel letter signs, indicate on the drawing that the raceway color shall match the color of the wall to which the raceway is attached. o Provide accurate physical samples of all colors proposed in the sign, preferably in the material proposed. (Paint chips that accurately reflect the proposed colors are acceptable.) o Location of proposed light fixtures and manufacturer cut sheets describing illumination type, intensity, style, shielding, color, and height. All lighting must meet ordinance requirements as outlined in Section 4.17. o For internally illuminated signs, indicate which areas of the sign are opaque and which are illuminated. (Opaque materials don't allow light to pass through. When lit only from behind, the color of an opaque material cannot be detected nor can objects be seen through it. ILLUMINATION REQUIREMENTS ❑ The location of proposed light fixtures identified on a plan and/or elevation ❑ Manufacturer cut sheets describing illumination type, intensity, style, shielding, color, and height. All lighting must meet ordinance requirements as outlined in Section 4.17 of the Zoning Ordinance. NOTES: SIGN REVIEW CHECKLIST WITH REFERENCES — Freestanding Signs REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES TYPE ❑ 8.a Monument signs are preferred to pole -mounted signs. Post and panel sign proposed. Pole signs may be considered if existing site conditions rule out the ability to use a monument sign, and only when the pole is in proportion to the sign cabinet or panel. None proposed. MATERIALS ❑ 8.b Materials used in both the sign and support structures should be complementary. Standard sign materials used. They should also support the aesthetics of the building/complex being served by the sign. ❑ 8.b It is preferred that the base material match one of the primary building materials N/A unless the sign design represents itself as a freestanding element complementing the building. COLORS ❑ 4.e Colors must be harmonious with each other. The proposed colors are harmonious with each other. The colors do not clash with other elements on the site, nor are they overly intense. Colors must not clash with other elements on the site, both when viewed in daylight and at night. Overly intense color, (such as dayglo or fluorescent colors), are prohibited. Use of three colors or less Black and white are colors. Only two colors used in the sign.

SCALE AND SIZE ❑ 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 the sign has received a variance. ❑ 8.c The structure of a monument sign shall not overwhelm the N/A sign. The structure and the sign that it supports must be in Structure and sign are proportional. proportion to each other. SIGN LETTERING AND TYPEFACE ❑ 4.d Lettering should be in proportion (font size and typeface style) Lettering is proportional to sign. to the sign and the building. Use of three typefaces or less.

An outline width of 1 /8" is the appropriate sign dimension. TRADEMARKS, CORPORATE LOGOS, AND GRAPHICS ❑ 4.f The ARB may require that the color and scale of standard None proposed. templates for trademarks, service marks, corporate logos and graphics be modified. When used, trademarks, service marks, corporate logos and/or graphics should be incorporated as an integral part of the overall sign. LIGHTING ❑ 8.e.i External illumination (or no illumination) is preferred for No illumination proposed. freestanding signs. ❑ S.f Any internal illumination is considered to contribute to visual clutter and will be limited. The design will be evaluated for size, balance, complexity, and distance from and relationship to the Entrance Corridor. ❑ 5.e External Illumination should be shielded and not create glare. No illumination proposed. Lighting should be aimed so as not to project illumination beyond the sign. All external light sources shall be white. ❑ 8.e.ii Ground mounted lighting should be shielded by landscaping so that it is not visible from any adjacent property or right -of - Updated: 08-19-2019 E a REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES way. ❑ S.h An exposed light source that forms the body of a sign, (such as No illumination proposed. exposed neon signs), shall not be used. ❑ 5.g All illumination shall be non -blinking. ❑ 5.c External illumination (or no illumination) is preferred for approved graphics/logos; internal illumination may be considered for approval. ❑ 8.e.iv Cabinet signs shall have a non -illuminated background, or an opaque (zero light transmission) background.

If back -lit (halo -lit), the faces and returns of channel letters shall be opaque. ARB ACTIONS ❑ (ARB Billboards are inappropriate for the Entrance Corridors. None proposed.
