Kathy - I tried to call you just now. I can't seem to find the trim cap color on your drawings. It would need to be the same
shade of red as the faces and returns.

Kathy - I have completed my review of your revised sign drawing (attached). The following issues remain that will need
to be adequately addressed for my administrative approval.
1. The nighttime view of the sign shows a face -lit sign with halo - lighting. Sign criteria for the shopping center
require the reverse channel letter have an opaque face and return. Revise the nighttime view to show this.
Include the following notes on the drawing:
a. Channel letter faces and returns shall be opaque.
b. The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by
a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon.
Revise the sign drawing to indicate the shade of red proposed for the channel letter faces, trim caps and returns.
Sign criteria for the shopping center require that the trim cap and return color match the face color. The
previous sign drawing indicated the face color was to be Red acrylic 2793 (note Red acrylic 2283 cannot be
approved).

both established ARB General Sign Guidelines and the approved Comprehensive Sign Criteria (CSC) specific
