(See the Entrance Corridor map in the Sign Permit Application packet for a list of Entrance Corridors.) ® Yes (This sign will be constructed in an Entrance Corridor and it does not meet the conditions of a $129.00 Comprehensive Sign Review. 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 ('Phis 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.) n E5 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.
