RE: ARB- 2015 -151: Total Auto Service Sign
Dear Ms. Sprouse,
I have reviewed the above -noted sign application. The following revisions are requested to make the
proposal consistent with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines.
1. Revise the sign drawing by listing each proposed sign color and the closest Pantone (PMS) color
equivalent for that color. Please note: PMS numbers are not required for black if proposed and
ARB Sign Guidelines discourage the use of overly intense colors.
2. Revise the sign drawing to indicate the method of sign illumination (external, internal) and the
bulb type. If LED illumination is proposed, revise the sign drawing to include the following note
limiting the intensity of the LED illumination: "The level of illumination provided by the LED lights
will not exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon."
3. If the sign is to be internally illuminated, revise the sign drawing to include the following note:
"The sign shall have an opaque background, only the text and graphic shall illuminate."
4. Provide the required $129.00 ARB review fee listed on page 1 of your application.
Please respond by email within 15 days of the date of this letter indicating whether you will or will not
proceed with these revisions. Your decision to make the revisions will suspend the 60 -day review period
associated with your original submittal. If you choose to complete the revisions, please email the revised
drawings to me. If you choose not to proceed with these revisions, staff will be unable to approve your
application. Failure to respond to this letter shall be presumed to be a request to proceed to action on
the application without further revisions.
If you have any questions about this action, please contact me as soon as possible. I look forward to
receiving your revisions and completing this review with an approval letter.
Sincerely,
Brent Nelson
Planner
