OK — channel letter • 5.b When channel letters cannot be adequately accommodated, internally illuminated cabinet signs may be considered. N/A • 6 Reader boards are discouraged. None proposed MATERIALS • 4.c Materials used in the sign should complement the building being served by the sign. OK — aluminum, acrylic & vinyl COLOR • 4.e Color for raceway- mounted channel letters, the raceway shall match the wall color. OK —noted on drawing Sign colors must be harmonious with each other. OK —meets CSC Sign colors must not clash with the site, when viewed in daylight and at night. OK Overly intense color, (such as dayglo or fluorescent colors), are prohibited. None proposed Use of three colors or less (black and white considered as colors) Additional colors may be approved if they contribute to the sign balance /unity. OK-2 SIZE, SCALE, PROPORTION, AND LOCATION • 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 sign has a variance). OK — per S. Wright 26 sq ft proposed - 31.5 sq ft max allowed CLE 2015 -12 • Appendix A ratio of 1/3 text to 2/3 wall area or 1/4 text to 3/4 wall OK REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES A.A area is a good working proportioning system for placing a sign. X Appendix Color, form, surface pattern, shape, and disposition of OK A.A.4 elements and openings in an architectural design can affect our perception of scale and can impact the appearance of a sign on a building. X 9.d The wall sign's size must coordinate with the architectural OK — in approved sign band element's size. The sign should not over -crowd the architectural element, OK the wall, or the sign area. Buildings and building elements should not be used as OK billboards. X 9.a Wall signs must integrate with the building's architecture. OK — in approved sign band The sign placement should not obscure architectural OK — in approved sign band features or details, (such as cornices, windows, columns, pilasters and paneling). X 9.d An appropriate height for channel letters in a 30" high sign N/A band is 18 ". 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 OK REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES style) to the sign and the building. Use of three typefaces or less. OK-2 Additional typefaces may be approved if they contribute to a balanced /legible /unified sign design. N/A X 9. e. iv The width of the outline must be in proportion to the width of the letter. None proposed An outline width of 1/8" has been found to be an appropriate sign dimension. N/A TRADEMARKS, CORPORATE LOGOS AND GRAPHICS X 4.f The ARB may require that the color and scale of standard templates for trademarks, service marks, corporate logos and graphics be modified. OK When used, trademarks, service marks, corporate logos and /or graphics should be incorporated as an integral part of the overall sign. OK — logo cabinet well integrated with overall sign X 5.a External (or no) illumination is preferred for approved graphics /logos; OK — internally lit cabinet X 5.b internal illumination may be considered for approval on a case -by -case basis. OK LIGHTING X 9.e.i External (or no) illumination is preferred for wall signs. OK — internal channel letter X 5.f Any internal illumination is considered to contribute to visual clutter and will be limited. OK X 5.c Internal illumination design approval will be evaluated on size, balance, complexity, and distance from the Entrance Corridor. OK — not in close proximity to either EC X 9.e.iv The backgrounds of such cabinet signs must be made opaque (zero light transmission). OK — noted on drawing REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES X 5.e External illumination should be shielded and not create None proposed glare. All external light sources shall be white. None proposed X 9. ii Sign lighting (external) should be shielded so that it N/A illuminates only face of the sign and does not shine beyond the edge of the sign. X 9. iii Channel letters with translucent faces must have no light OK spilling outward from the top, bottom, sides or back. Faces and returns of channel letters shall be opaque when No back - lighting back -lit (halo -lit). X 9. iv Cabinet signs shall have a non - illuminated background, or OK — noted on drawing an opaque (zero light transmission) background. Cabinet signs shall be constructed such that no light spills OK outward from the top, bottom, sides or back. X 5.g All illumination shall be non - blinking. None proposed X 5.h An exposed light source that forms the body of a sign, None proposed (such as exposed neon signs), shall not be used in the Entrance Corridors. ARB ACTIONS X If LED lighting is proposed the sign drawing must state OK — noted 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 No red color proposed inappropriate color for signs. Pantone color match for 2283 is 485C. Red #2793 has been approved as an acceptable substitute. Pantone color match for 2793 is 187C. REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES X ARB Visual clutter resulting from adjacency, for example at the OK — in a shopping center — other signs with similarly Action Hardee's locations, is a reasonable basis for not allowing positioned, internally illuminated graphics.
