ARB 12 -92, Shopper's World Freestanding Sign, Staff Comments
Importance: High
Pedro,
I am sending this email as a follow up to our phone conversation. As we discussed, I have completed my review of your
proposal and identified the following issues needing to be adequately addressed for an administrative approval.
ARB Review Fee
The required $120.00 Architectural Review Board fee was not included in this application. Payment of that fee is required
for final approval of the sign proposal.
Sign Materials
Revise the notation on the drawing to indicate the proposed column, platform, base and concrete cap materials to match
ARB approved materials in building remodel.
Shopping Center ID panel/LED Intensity Note
Revise the sign drawing to indicate the correct shopping center name in the top panel. Revise the sign drawing to include
the following note regarding LED intensity for the top panel: The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not
exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon.
Tenant Panel Names
Revise the sign drawing to include only those names with signed leases in the tenant panels. Use fictional names for the
other panels.
Proposed Landscaping Around Sign
ARB sign approval cannot be issued until the site plan minor amendment (SDP 2012 -45), with the landscaping shown
around the sign, has been approved.
Monument Column Light
Revise the sign drawing to indicate the proposed bulb type and wattage for the light at the top of the column. Only bulbs
that emit less than 3,000 lumens can be approved.
Sign Panels /Opaque Backgrounds
Revise the sign drawing to include the following note: "The shopping center ID panel and all tenant panels shall have
opaque backgrounds, only the text shall illuminate. "
Shopping Center ID Panel /Background Color
The sign rendering indicates the background color for the shopping center ID panel and light fixture is PMS 876. Our
Pantone Color Guide does not have that bronze color number. Please provide a color sample.
Please contact me should you have any questions.

Pedro,
I am the planner handling the review of the ARB application for the proposed freestanding, multi- tenant panel
sign. You are listed as the contact person on the application (phone: 410 - 609 - 4177). I left you voicemails on
Friday and yesterday to call me. I have questions and issues that need to be discussed.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience.
