Subject:
ARB 13 -6, HomeGoods Sign, Staff Comments
Importance: High
Noel — I have completed my review of this sign application. The following issues have been identified that will
need to be addressed for an administrative approval.
Wall Sim
Location-
Sheet 2 of 5 Front Elevation Channel Letters contains a note stating that the channel letter sign is to be centered
horizontally and vertically in the sign band; however, the drawing shows it off - center in the sign band.
Sign Color:
The proposed Red PMS 186C is not a color that I can approve administratively. The ARB has previously
indicated that Red PMS 187C is a more appropriate shade, particularly for internally illuminated channel letters,
and one that can be administratively approved.
Recommendations: Revise all applicable drawings to show the channel letter wall sign centered horizontally
and vertically in the sign band. Revise the sign drawings to show the use of Red: PMS 187C in place of Red:
PMS 186C.
Hanging Sign:
Sheet 3 of 5 Under Canopy Sign states that illumination of this sign is "TBD ". Approved Comprehensive Sign
Criteria require that this sign be non - illuminated; otherwise, it does not require ARB approval.
Recommendation: Revise Sheet 3 of 5 to indicate that this sign is non - illuminated.
Tenant Panel Sign:
Panel Size:
Sheet 4 of 5 Pylon Custom Reface indicates that the width of the tenant panel is "TBD ". The approved tenant
panel width is 6' 9.5 ".
Panel Color:
Your email of 1/28/13 states that the applicant would like to change the current tenant panel background color
to Red: PMS 186C. Approved tenant panel background colors included: Red PMS 1797C, Green PMS 330C
and Brown PMS 4705C.
Recommendations: Revise Sheet 4 of 5 Pylon Custom Reface to show the width of the tenant panel as 6' 9.5 ".
Revise the drawing to show the use of Red PMS 1797C for the background color.
Should the applicant feel that he does not want to revise the proposal accordingly for an administrative staff
approval, they can request a full review of the original proposal by the members of the ARB at their March 4,
2013 meeting. Someone representing the proposal would be required at the meeting to address the Board. Please
let me know no later than Wednesday, February 6th as to whether you intend to revise for an administrative,
staff approval or are requesting a full review at the March 4th meeting. Revisions for an administrative approval
can be submitted at anytime that works for you.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns.
