None proposed MATERIALS • 4.c Materials used in the sign should complement the building OK being served by the sign. COLOR • 4.e Color for raceway- mounted channel letters, the raceway OK — noted on drawing shall match the wall color. Sign colors must be harmonious with each other. OK — meets approved CSC Sign colors must not clash with the site, when viewed in OK daylight and at night. Overly intense color, (such as dayglo or fluorescent None proposed colors), are prohibited. Use of three colors or less (black and white considered as OK -1 colors) Additional colors may be approved if they contribute to the sign balance /unity. SIZE, SCALE, PROPORTION, AND LOCATION • 4.b Signs may not exceed the size, height and setback OK requirements as outlined in Section 4.15 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance (unless sign has a variance). REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES X Appendix A ratio of 1/3 text to 2/3 wall area or 1/4 text to 3/4 wall OK A.A area is a good working proportioning system for placing a sign. X Appendix Color, form, surface pattern, shape, and disposition of OK A.A.4 elements and openings in an architectural design can affect our perception of scale and can impact the appearance of a sign on a building. X 9.d The wall sign's size must coordinate with the architectural OK — in approved sign band element's size. The sign should not over -crowd the architectural element, OK the wall, or the sign area.

This allows 6" of unoccupied space above and below the letters. 4" of clear space above, below, and to the sides of a channel letter sign is considered a minimum, with larger clearances required for larger sign bands. Degree of visibility, the distance from the Entrance Corridor, and the architectural design of the building /area will determine sign size, placement, and proportions. REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES X 4.d Lettering should be in proportion (font size and typeface style) to the sign and the building. OK Use of three typefaces or less. OK— I Additional typefaces may be approved if they contribute to a balanced /legible /unified sign design. X 9. e. iv The width of the outline must be in proportion to the width of the letter.

LIGHTING X 9.e.i External (or no) illumination is preferred for wall signs. OK — internal channel letter X 5.f Any internal illumination is considered to contribute to visual clutter and will be limited. OK X 5.c Internal illumination design approval will be evaluated on size, balance, complexity, and distance from the Entrance Corridor. OK X 9.e.iv The backgrounds of such cabinet signs must be made None proposed REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES opaque (zero light transmission). X 5.e External illumination should be shielded and not create None proposed glare. All external light sources shall be white. N/A X 9. ii Sign lighting (external) should be shielded so that it N/A illuminates only face of the sign and does not shine beyond the edge of the sign.

Faces and returns of channel letters shall be opaque when Not halo -lit back -lit (halo -lit). X 9. iv Cabinet signs shall have a non - illuminated background, or None proposed an opaque (zero light transmission) background. Cabinet signs shall be constructed such that no light spills outward from the top, bottom, sides or back. X 5.g All illumination shall be non - blinking. None proposed X 5.h An exposed light source that forms the body of a sign, None proposed (such as exposed neon signs), shall not be used in the Entrance Corridors. ARB ACTIONS X If LED lighting is proposed the sign drawing must state OK — noted The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon. X Red acrylic #2283 has been determined to be an No red inappropriate color for signs. Pantone color match for 2283 is 485C. Red #2793 has been approved as an acceptable substitute. REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES Pantone color match for 2793 is 187C. X ARB Visual clutter resulting from adjacency, for example at the No graphic Action Hardee's locations, is a reasonable basis for not allowing Memo: illumination of the graphic. 5/7/12 ARB COMPREHENSIVE SIGN CRITERIA PROJECT #/NAME: ARB- 2014 -05: Rolkin Road Retail Shops TAX MAP/PARCEL #: 078000000075AO SIGN FEATURE APPROVED SIGN CRITERIA Sign type Channel letter OK Colors Letters Face: White translucent acrylic; Trim cap /return: Matthews 313 Dark Bronze OK Raceway To match the color of the wall to which it is attached OK Graphics No limit to overall graphic colors as long as individual tenant graphics total number is limited to three and all colors have a coordinated appearance.
