Nena - I have completed my review of this latest revision to your sign proposal. The following issues remain that would
have to be addressed for an administrative approval.
Sign Colors:
Please see the attached email I sent you on 9 -24 -13 regarding tenant panel colors. This latest revision does not address the
issues /suggestions in that email.
Revise the sign drawing to indicate all text & graphic colors and the tenant panel background colors. This has to
be reviewed and approved at this stage.
Revise the sign drawing to list a palette of three colors to choose from for text and graphics on the tenant panels.
ARB Sign Guidelines encourage coordination of colors for signs in multiple business centers and limiting the
total number of colors used to three. Additional colors for the tenant panels can be approved, on a case by case
basis, if they contribute to a balanced and unified sign design. This has to be reviewed and approved at this stage.
Revise the sign drawing to indicate the dimensions of each tenant panel.
Opaque Background:
ARB Sign Guidelines and the Zoning Ordinance both require that cabinet signs in the Entrance Corridor
shall have a non - illuminated background, or an opaque (zero light transmission) background. Revise the
sign drawing to include the following note: Both the sign structure and individual tenant panels shall
have an opaque, non - illuminated background, only the text and graphics shall illuminate.
Landscaping:
Please see the email to Scott Collins (sent 10/15/13) requesting the sign drawing be removed from the landscape plan.

Stewart /Brent,
Please find attached the revised sign drawing. Please let me know if this is what you need.
Brent,
We still need to resolve colors. Did you ever find out if we can just come back later when we have additional tenants to
determine additional colors.
Thanks,
Nena
