❑
9.d
An appropriate height for channel letters in a 30" high sign band is 18".
24" letters in over 12' of wall height
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.
❑

Lettering should be in proportion (font size and typeface style) to the
sign and the building.
Use of three typefaces or less.

Comments provided 6/30/22:
The approved Comprehensive Sign Plan for this location requires that the wall sign be either individual letters that are externally illuminated, or
reverse channel letters with halo illumination. The title on sign drawing sheet 5 says, "Reverse Push-Thru Channel Letters" but the sign looks like a
standard internally illuminated channel letter. Consequently, the proposal will need to be revised to show an approvable sign type.
Revised drawings received 7/5/22.
Sign type has been revised to halo (reverse) lit channel letters
No outstanding issues.
