The sign proposal does not meet the approved Comprehensive Sign Criteria (CSC) for this section of Hollymead Town Center as follows: a. Approved CSC require a channel letter sign type; not a channel letter with backer panel as OK — panel removed — channel letter only proposed. b. Approved CSC do not permit a reverse (back- lit) channel letter as proposed. OK — face lit c. Approved CSC limit sign colors to red (PMS 187) and white; not black as proposed. The sign OK — Red PMS 187 and white drawing does not indicate the proposed Pantone number for the red color. d. Approved CSC require that trim cap and return colors be bronze or black; not white as OK — black proposed. e. Approved CSC do not allow the illumination of graphics visible from the Route 29 Entrance OK — "Z" is both a channel letter and graphic — well Corridor. The sign drawing needs to clearly integrated into overall sign indicate what parts of the sign shall illuminate. It appears that the graphics are proposed to illuminate, which is not permitted. X 2. The sign on the northwest side of the building (facing OK Connor Drive) is not expected to be visible from the Route 29 North Entrance Corridor, therefore does not require ARB approval but does require an approved sign permit. The sign on the southwest front of the building (facing Community Street) does require ARB approval and an approved sign permit. X 1. If a raceway is to be used, the drawing needs to indicate OK — direct -mount that its color shall match the color of the wall to which it is attached. Issue — note limiting LED intensity missing. SIGN REVIEW CHECKLIST with REFERENCES — Wall Sign, Single Business ARB 201500023, Verizon 02 -19 -2015 REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES TYPE • 9.b For internally illuminated signs, channel lettering Issue: Backer panel, reverse channel letter — not (mounted on a raceway or individual letters) is preferred to permitted in CSC cabinet signs. • 5.b When channel letters cannot be adequately accommodated, N/A internally illuminated cabinet signs may be considered. • 6 Reader boards are discouraged. 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 Issue: cannot tell if a raceway is proposed shall match the wall color. Sign colors must be harmonious with each other. OK Sign colors must not clash with the site, when viewed in Ok daylight and at night. Overly intense color, (such as dayglo or fluorescent OK colors), are prohibited. Use of three colors or less (black and white considered as Issue: does not meet approved CSC 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 — per S. Wright requirements as outlined in Section 4.15 of the Albemarle 2 signs at 27.3 sq ft each = 54.6 sq ft proposed - 75 sq ft County Zoning Ordinance (unless sign has a variance). max allowed 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 element's size. The sign should not over -crowd the architectural element, OK the wall, or the sign area. Buildings and building elements should not be used as OK billboards. X 9.a Wall signs must integrate with the building's architecture. OK The sign placement should not obscure architectural OK features or details, (such as cornices, windows, columns, pilasters and paneling). X 9.d An appropriate height for channel letters in a 30" high sign N/A band is 18 ". 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 OK style) to the sign and the building. Use of three typefaces or less. OK-3 Additional typefaces may be approved if they contribute to N/A a balanced /legible /unified sign design. X 9. e. iv The width of the outline must be in proportion to the width None proposed of the letter. An outline width of 1/8" has been found to be an appropriate sign dimension. TRADEMARKS, CORPORATE LOGOS AND GRAPHICS X 4.f The ARB may require that the color and scale of standard OK templates for trademarks, service marks, corporate logos and graphics be modified. When used, trademarks, service marks, corporate logos OK — well integrated and /or graphics should be incorporated as an integral part of the overall sign. X 5.a External (or no) illumination is preferred for approved Issue — CSC do not allow illumination graphics /logos; X 5.b internal illumination may be considered for approval on a case -by -case basis. LIGHTING X 9.e.i External (or no) illumination is preferred for wall signs. Issue — cannot determine exactly which parts of the sign illuminate. X 5.f Any internal illumination is considered to contribute to visual clutter and will be limited. X 5.c Internal illumination design approval will be evaluated on size, balance, complexity, and distance from the Entrance Corridor. REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES X 9. e. iv The backgrounds of such cabinet signs must be made None proposed 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. None proposed X 9. ii Sign lighting (external) should be shielded so that it None proposed illuminates only face of the sign and does not shine beyond the edge of the sign. X 9. iii Channel letters with translucent faces must have no light OK spilling outward from the top, bottom, sides or back. Faces and returns of channel letters shall be opaque when Issue: reverse channel letter not permitted 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 — note on drawing 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 PMS number not indicated. Approved CSC require inappropriate color for signs. PMS 187 Pantone color match for 2283 is 485C. REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES Red #2793 has been approved as an acceptable substitute. Pantone color match for 2793 is 187C. X ARB Visual clutter resulting from adjacency, for example at the OK Action Hardee's locations, is a reasonable basis for not allowing Memo: illumination of the graphic. 5/7/12 ARB COMPREHENSIVE SIGN REVIEW APPROVED CONDITIONS PROJECT #/NAME: Hollymead Town Center — Area B TAX MAP/PARCEL #: Tax Map 32, Parcel 43,42B, 42C, 42D, 42E, 43A ARB 201500023, Verizon Sign SIGN FEATURE APPROVED CONDITION NOTES SIGN TYPE Channel letters ARB review /approval of sign in northwest elevation not required due to lack of Box/cabinet signs considered only as visibility secondary signs (with opaque Sign in Southwest elevation requires ARB backgrounds) approval: Issue: Backer panel and reverse channel letter LETTER FACE COLOR Red = PMS 187 (except Target, Red = PMS 186), White No third color as of 7/19/04.
