Mr. McBride - I am the planner reviewing your Architectural Review Board (ARB) sign application for the
above -noted sign proposal. I have completed my review of the application. The following issues have been
identified that will need to be adequately addressed for my administrative approval.
Sian Colors:
Sign drawing text states that the channel letter returns are white and the faces "various colors ". This is incorrect.
All the faces are white and the trim cap /return colors are blue. Please correct the drawing.
Trim Cap/Return Color:
The sign drawing does not indicate the Pantone number for the blue trim cap /return color. Blue: PMS 647C is
the color that has been previously approved for signs at this location. Revise the sign drawing to indicate that
Pantone color.
TaRline Cabinet:
Colors:
• The sign drawing does not indicate colors for the tagline cabinet. Revise the drawing to indicate the trim
cap /return, cabinet background, text & graphic colors. Pantone color numbers are required for all colors
except for black & white.
• The trim cap /return colors should be the same blue color used for the channel letter trim caps & returns.
Illumination:
• Revise the drawing to indicate if the cabinet will illuminate. If yes, indicate the illumination type e.g.
internal LED.
• Zoning regulations and ARB sign guidelines require that the background of the tagline cabinet be
opaque if internally illuminated. The following note would be required on the drawing:
"The sign cabinet background shall be opaque, only the text and graphic shall illuminate."
LED Illumination:
Revise the sign drawing to include the following note regarding the intensity of LED illumination. This is a
requirement of the ARB.
"The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single
stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon."
Please contact me should you have any questions or concerns. Emailing the revised drawings is preferred.
