Subject: ARB 12 -150, Market Street Gulf Sign, Staff Comments
Importance: High
James — I have completed my review of your sign application. The following issues have been identified
needing to be addressed for an administrative approval.
Opaque Background:
The sign drawing shows a night illumination view; however, that view makes it appear as if the tracking around
the text SELF SERVE & REGULAR UNLEADED is meant to illuminate, which is not permitted.
Recommendation: Revise the sign drawing to include the following note: "All backgrounds, including the
background and tracking for the changeable panel (text), are to be opaque, only the text, gas pricing numbers
and Gulf sunrise logo with sky and clouds shall illuminate."
Sign Text:
The applicant has indicated that the most recent sign drawing was not included in this application and that the
proposed text for the middle panel is different from what is currently shown. Please include the up to date sign
drawings with your resubmission.
Miscellaneous:
• The sign drawing incorrectly shows the existing condition as a Chevron sign when it is a Gulf sign.
o Recommendation: Revise the sign drawing to show the correct existing sign (Gulf).
• The extent of the refacing proposal is not clear. The applicant has verbally indicated the top panel
containing the Gulf sunrise logo is to remain as is and only the panels beneath are to be refaced.
o Recommendation: Revise the sign drawing to include the following note of clarification: "This
refacing proposal does not include the top panel containing the Gulf sunrise logo; that panel is to
remain as it currently exists. Only the panels beneath are to be refaced."
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Emailing revised sign drawings is preferred.
