ARB 12 -95, Exxon Signs, Staff Comments
Importance: High
Rita,
I have completed my review of the above -noted sign application and identified the following issues needing to
be adequately addressed for an administrative approval.
Freestanding Sign
Sign Color:
• The 7 Eleven sign panel is proposing the use of Bronze PMS 19 -1116. We do not have that color in our
Pantone Guide. Please provide a color sample.
Internal Illumination/Opaque Background:
The sign drawing states: "Sign faces will be opaque only letters and logos will be illuminated". Revise this note
to state: "All sign panels shall have opaque backgrounds ". Revise the sign drawing to include the following
notes:
• For the Exxon panel add the note: "Only the text and blue line shall illuminate "
• For the pricing panel add the note: "Only the text and pricing numbers shall illuminate "
• For the All American Car Wash Panel add the note: "Only the text shall illuminate"
• For the 7 Eleven panel add the note: "Only the number 7 and the text ELEVEN shall illuminate. The
white and green backgrounds shall be opaque"
Canopy Sign
S4m Type:
ARB Sign Guidelines encourage the use of channel letters as they allow the structure to show through. This
proposal is for a cabinet sign while the canopy face could accommodate channel letters. Revise the sign drawing
to show the use of red channel letters.
Sign Locations:
The exact location of the canopy signs cannot be determined from the drawings provided. Revise the sign
drawings to clearly indicate the location of each canopy sign.
CanoRy Face Color:
The ARB previously approved drawings for the canopy indicate the face of the canopy is to be white only.
Revise the sign drawings by removing the red stripe.
Canopy Illumination:
The ARB approved drawings for the canopy indicate the face of the canopy shall not be illuminated. Revise the
sign drawing to include the following note: "The canopy fascia shall be non-illuminated"
Please let me know by Thursday, August 23rd, sooner if possible, as to whether or not you intend to revise the proposal for
an administrative approval. Revised drawings are not required by that date. You are welcome to contact me should you
have any questions.
