SIGN REVIEW CHECKLIST with REFERENCES — Wall Sign, Single Business ARB 201400088, Zoomcash Sign 07/11/2014 REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES TYPE • 9.b For internally illuminated signs, channel lettering OK — Individual channel letters (mounted on a raceway or individual letters) is preferred to cabinet signs. • S.b When channel letters cannot be adequately accommodated, N/A internally illuminated cabinet signs may be considered. • 6 Reader boards are discouraged. None proposed MATERIALS • 4.c Materials used in the sign should complement the building OK being served by the sign. COLOR • 4.e Color for raceway- mounted channel letters, the raceway N/A — direct -mount shall match the wall color. Sign colors must be harmonious with each other. Issues: Red PMS 186 too close to Red PMS 485 — needs to be Red PMS 187 Trim ca /return color not indicated Sign colors must not clash with the site, when viewed in OK daylight and at night. Overly intense color, (such as dayglo or fluorescent None proposed colors), are prohibited. Use of three colors or less (black and white considered as OK— 1 colors) Additional colors may be approved if they contribute to the sign balance /unity. SIZE, SCALE, PROPORTION, AND LOCATION • 4.b I Signs may not exceed the size, height and setback OK — per S. Wright REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES requirements as outlined in Section 4.15 of the Albemarle 31.3 sq ft proposed - 31.5 sq ft max allowed County Zoning Ordinance (unless sign has a variance).

The sign should not over -crowd the architectural element, See above in red the wall, or the sign area. Buildings and building elements should not be used as See above in red billboards. • 9.a Wall signs must integrate with the building's architecture. See above in red The sign placement should not obscure architectural OK features or details, (such as cornices, windows, columns, pilasters and paneling). • 9.d An appropriate height for channel letters in a 30" high sign OK — 36" tall sign band with 28" tall letters — 6" clear band is 18 ". space above and below Issue: Photo - rendering not too scale No indication sign is centered horizontally and vertically in sign band. REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES 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. X 4.d Lettering should be in proportion (font size and typeface See above in red style) to the sign and the building. Use of three typefaces or less. OK- 1 Additional typefaces may be approved if they contribute to N/A a balanced /legible /unified sign design. X 9. e. iv The width of the outline must be in proportion to the width None proposed of the letter. An outline width of 1/8" has been found to be an appropriate sign dimension. TRADEMARKS, CORPORATE LOGOS AND GRAPHICS X 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 N/A and /or graphics should be incorporated as an integral part of the overall sign. X 5.a External (or no) illumination is preferred for approved N/A graphics /logos; X 5.b internal illumination may be considered for approval on a NA REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES case -by -case basis. LIGHTING • 9.e.i External (or no) illumination is preferred for wall signs. OK — internal channel letter • 5.f Any internal illumination is considered to contribute to visual clutter and will be limited. OK • 5.c Internal illumination design approval will be evaluated on size, balance, complexity, and distance from the Entrance Corridor. OK • 9.e.iv The backgrounds of such cabinet signs must be made opaque (zero light transmission). No cabinet sign proposed • 5.e External illumination should be shielded and not create glare. N/A All external light sources shall be white. None proposed • 9.ii Sign lighting (external) should be shielded so that it illuminates only face of the sign and does not shine beyond the edge of the sign. N/A • 93ii Channel letters with translucent faces must have no light spilling outward from the top, bottom, sides or back. OK Faces and returns of channel letters shall be opaque when back -lit (halo -lit). N/A • 9. iv Cabinet signs shall have a non - illuminated background, or an opaque (zero light transmission) background. None proposed Cabinet signs shall be constructed such that no light spills outward from the top, bottom, sides or back. N/A • 5.g All illumination shall be non - blinking. None proposed • 5.h An exposed light source that forms the body of a sign, (such as exposed neon signs), shall not be used in the None proposed REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES --4Entrance Corridors. ARB ACTIONS X If LED lighting is proposed the sign drawing must state OK — note on drawing The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon. X Red acrylic #2283 has been determined to be an Issue: proposed Red: PMS 186 — too close to Red inappropriate color for signs. PMS 485 — needs to be Red PMS 187 Pantone color match for 2283 is 485C. Red 42793 has been approved as an acceptable substitute. Pantone color match for 2793 is 187C. X ARB Visual clutter resulting from adjacency, for example at the N/A Action Hardee's locations, is a reasonable basis for not allowing Memo: illumination of the graphic. 5/7/12 Completeness Check for Signs Project # /Name: ARB201400088, Zoomcash Date Received at County: _07/02/2014 Date Received in Design Planning: _07/03/2014 Date of Checklist Check: _07/03/2014 Assigned to /Date: _07/03/2014 FEES 3.
