I have reviewed the above-noted sign application.The following revisions are requested to make the proposal consistent
with the Entrance Corridor Sign Guidelines and the approved Comprehensive Sign Criteria for this parcel.
1. Approved Comprehensive Sign Criteria (CSC) for this location are attached. The building where your signs are to
be located is referred to as Building 1 in the table.Your sign proposal will need to be revised accordingly to meet
those criteria.
a. Sign location:
i. CSC require that signs on the canopy in the west(front)elevation be centered left to right on the
canopy. Revise the proposed sign location accordingly.
ii. CSC require that signs on the south (side) elevation be located in the upper corner at the west
end of the elevation. Revise the sign location accordingly.
b. Sign size:
i. The existing canopy design in the west(front)elevation of Building 1 is not accurately represented
in the sign drawing. There is an extra tall cornice across the top (photo attached). Revise the
drawing to show the canopy with cornice correctly, with the flat sign band area dimensioned
accurately.Make sure the sign dimensions are proportionate without overcrowding the sign band
area.
ii. CSC limit the sign size in the south(side)elevation to 8'4"wide x 3'7"tall; however,the proposed
sign width is 17' 1'A " . Revise the sign design to meet the permitted dimensions.
c. Sign colors:
i. CSC limit the number of sign face colors to one. Revise the sign proposal to show only one sign
face color.
ii. Revise sign colors for both signs to meet one of the following CSC sign color combinations:
1. Black daytime/white nighttime faces with black trim caps and returns or
2. White acrylic faces with white or bronze trim caps and bronze returns or
3. Red PMS 200C faces with bronze trim caps and returns.
d. Raceway color:
i. ARB general sign guidelines require that the raceway color match the wall to which it is attached.
The sign drawing states the raceway color will match Sherwin Williams SW 6123 Tan which is not
the existing paint color. Benjamin Moore HC 38 is the paint color that was approved for the wall.
Revise the sign drawing to indicate the correct wall color for the raceway.
2. Revise the sign drawing to indicate the tenant panel in the freestanding sign shall have an opaque background,
only the text and graphic shall illuminate.
Please respond by email within 15 days of the date of this email 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 email shall be presumed
to be a request to proceed to action on the application without further revisions.
