Note: Red PMS Red: PMS 187 485 has been determined to be an inappropriate shade Tan: PMS 4525 Black: PMS Black C of color for signs in the Entrance Corridor. Red PMS 187 is considered an acceptable substitute that can be approved. • Both sign drawings are mislabeled as "Page 1 of 1". OK - done Re -label the drawings as "Sheet 1 of 2, Sheet 2 of 2 ". One sheet labeled 1 of 1 • The perspective in the photo- rendering on Sheet 2 of 2 OK -done is inaccurate - showing the sign panel at an angle instead of parallel with the building wall. Provide a photo- rendering of the sign, in its location on the building, with the correct perspective. • The sign dimensions on Sheet 2 of 2 are illegible (too OK - done small to read). Provide a legible sign drawing with the sign dimensions. • Revise the sign drawing to include a note indicating the OK - done sign is non - illuminated. SIGN REVIEW CHECKLIST with REFERENCES — Wall Sign, Single Business ARB 201400125, State Farm Sign 09 -25 -2014 REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES TYPE • 9.b For internally illuminated signs, channel lettering (mounted on a raceway or individual letters) is preferred to cabinet signs. OK — hanging panel • 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. Issue: materials not indicated on drawing COLOR • 4.e Color for raceway - mounted channel letters, the raceway shall match the wall color. N/A — hanging panel Sign colors must be harmonious with each other. Issue: Pantone numbers not provided Sign colors must not clash with the site, when viewed in daylight and at night. See above Overly intense color, (such as dayglo or fluorescent colors), are prohibited. See above 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 — 3 proposed 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 OK —per S. Wright 19.75 sq ft proposed - 48 sq ft max allowed REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES County Zoning Ordinance (unless sign has a variance). tenant needs to apply for a Zoning Clearance first X Appendix A ratio of 1/3 text to 2/3 wall area or 1/4 text to 3/4 wall N/A — hanging panel 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 — hanging panel appears proportionate to space element's size. between columns 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 — hanging panel between porch columns The sign placement should not obscure architectural OK 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 Sign in close proximity to EC - OK Corridor, and the architectural design of the building /area REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES will determine sign size, placement, and proportions. X 4.d Lettering should be in proportion (font size and typeface OK — text in good proportion to overall sign style) to the sign and the building. Issue: Drawing with this info is illegible — too small to read Use of three typefaces or less. OK-2 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 OK — graphic well integrated with overall sign design templates for trademarks, service marks, corporate logos and graphics be modified. When used, trademarks, service marks, corporate logos OK 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 Issue: sign appears to be non - illuminated but needs graphics /logos; to be noted on the drawing X 5.b internal illumination may be considered for approval on a None proposed case -by -case basis. LIGHTING X 9.e.i External (or no) illumination is preferred for wall signs. Issue: sign appears to be non - illuminated but needs to be noted on the drawing X 5.f Any internal illumination is considered to contribute to visual clutter and will be limited. Issue: sign appears to be non - illuminated but needs to be noted on the drawing REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES X 5.c Internal illumination design approval will be evaluated on Issue: sign appears to be non - illuminated but needs size, balance, complexity, and distance from the Entrance to be noted on the drawing Corridor. X 9. e. iv The backgrounds of such cabinet signs must be made None proposed opaque (zero light transmission). X 5.e External illumination should be shielded and not create Issue: sign appears to be non - illuminated but needs glare. to be noted on the drawing All external light sources shall be white. Issue: sign appears to be non - illuminated but needs to be noted on the drawing X 9. ii Sign lighting (external) should be shielded so that it Issue: sign appears to be non - illuminated but needs illuminates only face of the sign and does not shine beyond to be noted on the drawing the edge of the sign. X 9. iii Channel letters with translucent faces must have no light None proposed spilling outward from the top, bottom, sides or back. Faces and returns of channel letters shall be opaque when None proposed back -lit (halo -lit). X 9. iv Cabinet signs shall have a non - illuminated background, or None proposed an opaque (zero light transmission) background. Cabinet signs shall be constructed such that no light spills None proposed 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 Issue: sign appears to be non - illuminated but needs The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will to be noted on the drawing not exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon. REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES X Red acrylic 42283 has been determined to be an Issue: Cannot be evaluated — Pantone numbers not inappropriate color for signs. provided 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 Issue: sign appears to be non - illuminated but needs Action Hardee's locations, is a reasonable basis for not allowing to be noted on the drawing Memo: illumination of the graphic. 5/7/12 Completeness Check for Signs Project # /Name: _AR13201400125, State Farm Date Received at County: _09/18/2014 Date Received in Design Planning: _ 09/22/2014 Date of Checklist Check: _09/23/2014 Assigned to/Date: _09/22/2014 FEES 3.
