RE: ARB-2020-026 O'Reilly Auto Parts Signs
Dear Applicant,
I have reviewed the above -noted sign applications. The following revisions are requested to make the
proposal consistent with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines.
1. Revise the cloud logo sign type to individual letters.
2. Eliminate the white outline from the "O'Reilly's" letters on the freestanding sign.
3. Freestanding sign colors (cabinet and support) are limited to the colors approved for the building.
4. The cabinet sign shall have a non -illuminated background, or an opaque (zero light transmission).
background.
Regarding your proposed changes to the building the following revisions are requested.
1. Eliminate the red color from the building.
2. Revise the building colors to show greater differentiation between the shades of tan ("latte" and
"softer tan").
As I indicated in previous emails, the sign and building items were discussed with the ARB at Monday's
meeting. The ARB confirmed that these changes are required. In addition, with this letter we confirm that
you are aware and have agreed to replant the ARB-approved landscaping (minus the plants that were
removed to accommodate the ADA compliant ramp).
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,
iKh s Taggart
