Sign 09 -17 -2014 REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES TYPE • 9.b For internally illuminated signs, channel lettering N/A — non - illuminated wall panel sign (mounted on a raceway or individual letters) is preferred to cabinet signs. • 5.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 — mahogany being served by the sign. COLOR • 4.e Color for raceway- mounted channel letters, the raceway N/A shall match the wall color. Sign colors must be harmonious with each other. OK Background: White Text: Medium dark red Graphic: Black & gold 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-4 colors) Red, white, gold & black Black & gold in limited use Additional colors may be approved if they contribute to the Red: text; White: background sign balance /unity. SIZE, SCALE, PROPORTION, AND LOCATION REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES X 4.b Signs may not exceed the size, height and setback OK — per S. Wright requirements as outlined in Section 4.15 of the Albemarle 15.5 sq ft proposed - 30 sq ft max allowed County Zoning Ordinance (unless sign has a variance). X Appendix A ratio of 1/3 text to 2/3 wall area or 1/4 text to 3/4 wall OK 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 element's size. Sign: 36" (w) x 62" (t) Sign band: 80" (w) x 70" (t) The sign should not over -crowd the architectural element, OK the wall, or the sign area. Sign: 36" (w) x 62" (t) Sign band: 80" (w) x 70" (t) Buildings and building elements should not be used as OK billboards. X 9.a Wall signs must integrate with the building's architecture. OK The sign placement should not obscure architectural OK — centered between windows at second floor level 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. REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES 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 style) to the sign and the building. OK Use of three typefaces or less. OK— 1 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. 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 — well integrate with overall sign design X 5.a External (or no) illumination is preferred for approved graphics /logos; Non - illuminated X 5.b internal illumination may be considered for approval on a case -by -case basis. Non - illuminated LIGHTING X 9.e.i External (or no) illumination is preferred for wall signs. Non - illuminated X 5f Any internal illumination is considered to contribute to visual clutter and will be limited. REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES X 5.c Internal illumination design approval will be evaluated on size, balance, complexity, and distance from the Entrance 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 None proposed glare. All external light sources shall be white. N/A 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 N/A spilling outward from the top, bottom, sides or back. Faces and returns of channel letters shall be opaque when N/A back -lit (halo -lit). X 9. iv Cabinet signs shall have a non - illuminated background, or N/A an opaque (zero light transmission) background. Cabinet signs shall be constructed such that no light spills N/A 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 Non - illuminated 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 OK REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES inappropriate color for signs. • Pantone number for red not provided Pantone color match for 2283 is 485C. • Existing sign being reused • Possible negative impacts of red color mitigated Red #2793 has been approved as an acceptable substitute. by lack of illumination and panel sign type 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: ARB201400115, Stevens & Company Sign_ Date Received at County: 08/21/2014 Date Received in Design Planning: _08/21/2014 Date of Checklist Check: _08/21/2014_ Assigned to/Date: _08/21/2014 FEES 3.
