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 colors) 4 colors proposed but black color has limited use as a border Additional colors may be approved if they contribute to the REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES sign balance /unity. SIZE, SCALE, PROPORTION, AND LOCATION • 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 46 sq ft of existing signage and 19.8 sq ft of propposed County Zoning Ordinance (unless sign has a variance). signage = 65.8 total signage 67.5 sq ft max allowed. Tenant has a Clearance and has been at this location for over 20 years • Appendix A ratio of 1/3 text to 2/3 wall area or 1/4 text to 3/4 wall Issue: cannot be determined due to sign panel not A.A area is a good working proportioning system for placing a being shown in photo- rendering. Needs to be shown sign. to -scale with height of wall area showing above and below the panel indicated. • Appendix Color, form, surface pattern, shape, and disposition of See above 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. • 9.d The wall sign's size must coordinate with the architectural See above element's size. The sign should not over -crowd the architectural element, See above the wall, or the sign area. Buildings and building elements should not be used as OK billboards. • 9.a Wall signs must integrate with the building's architecture. See above The sign placement should not obscure architectural See above features or details, (such as cornices, windows, columns, pilasters and paneling). • 9.d An appropriate height for channel letters in a 30" high sign N/A band is 18 ". 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 OK style) to the sign and the building. Use of three typefaces or less. OK - 3 Additional typefaces may be approved if they contribute to N/A a balanced /legible /unified sign design.

TRADEMARKS, CORPORATE LOGOS AND GRAPHICS X 4.f The ARB may require that the color and scale of standard OK templates for trademarks, service marks, corporate logos and graphics be modified.

X S.a External (or no) illumination is preferred for approved Issue: graphics /logos; Appears to be non - illuminated but needs to be noted on the drawing X S.b internal illumination may be considered for approval on a See above case -by -case basis. REF I CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES LIGHTING • 9.e.i External (or no) illumination is preferred for wall signs. See above • 5.f Any internal illumination is considered to contribute to See above visual clutter and will be limited. • 5.c Internal illumination design approval will be evaluated on N/A size, balance, complexity, and distance from the Entrance Corridor. • 9.e.iv The backgrounds of such cabinet signs must be made N/A opaque (zero light transmission). • 5.e External illumination should be shielded and not create N/A glare. All external light sources shall be white. N/A • 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. • 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). • 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. • 5.g All illumination shall be non - blinking.
