Applicant's Proposal
• Erection of one freestanding electric message sign at the Crozet Fire
Station.
The sign will:
• Display both emergent and non-emergent messages; ,
• Comply with size, height and setback requirements;
• Measure about 3 x 6 ft; and •
• Replace the existing changeable message-type sign.
•
This is a special use permit application for the erection of an electric message sign
(EMS). This sign will be used for a variety of messages, both public service emergency
and non-emergency as well as Crozet FD messages.
The sign will replace the existing changeable message sign shown in the background of
this photo.

Background
• Electric Message Signs (EMS)are allowed only by Special Use Permit.
• No specific criteria applicable to this use. Legislative intent was to make sure
the EMS was not in a location that would distract drivers or be done in a
distracting way.
• Criteria for special use permit review is applicable.
(.
This is a special permit use because it is not appropriate in all locations without any
conditions or restrictions. For example, a flashing EMS or an EMS which shows an
entire video would be distracting on a high-speed highway especially where traffic is
not being stopped by a stoplight.
9
ARB Review
•Applicant has been working with the ARB as they have
developed design criteria for EMS.
• On April 18th, the ARB approved this application subject to
conditions. These conditions are largely relating to notes on the
plan.
• The Crozet VFD has been working on this proposal for about 2 years. They've
worked directly with Margaret M and the ARB as they've developed design criteria
for EMS. The FD has provided sign manufacturers and consultants with EMS signs
for some of that ARB deliberation on the design criteria.
• The ARB design criteria include specifications relating to a) frequency of message
change (to avoid flashing and other distracting quick changes); b) brightness; c) text
size; d) color choice and the like.
• On April 18th, the ARB conditionally approved this application and did not object to
the special use permit.
10
Special Use Permit Criteria
..No substantial detriment to adjacent lots—This proposal introduces an
illuminated changing message sign. To address impacts on an adjoining
house about 150 feet away, staff recommends the applicant either obtain a
letter of no-objection or take measures to limit the visibility.
2.Character of district unchanged—with the sign as proposed and subject to
the ARB design criteria, staff is of the opinion the character of the district is
unchanged.
I I
• It is staff's opinion that the 2nd criteria is met—there is no apparent change or
impact to the character of the district.
• The first criteria (no substantial detriment to adjacent lots) can be met with a
proposed condition of approval for this SR I will show the aerial photo again so you
can see the adjacent lots.

Note the location of two houses on parcels 43 and 44 as you also observe the proposed
sign location. Because this application introduces a new illuminated sign (although not
flashing), we are concerned there could be a new impact on those residents. We've
written a condition for approval to address this.

Special Use Permit Criteria
3. Harmony—staff is of the opinion the proposal as recommended, is in
harmony with the applicable zoning regulations and the public health,
safety and welfare.
4.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan—staff is of the opinion that
the proposal subject to the ARB design criteria, is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
• This application is consistent with applicable zoning regulations.
• Subject to the proposed conditions and the ARB design criteria, it is our opinion that
this application is consistent with the Comp Plan.
13
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions:
�. This permit is limited to one (1)freestanding sign.
2. Unless the sign is oriented so as to directly face the road, measures are
necessary to limit the impact on adjoining residential property. Prior to
approval of the building permit to erect the sign, the applicant shall obtain
Zoning Administrator approval of either a)letters of no objection from the
owners of parcels 43 and 44 or b)a landscape plan or other measures designed
to screen the sign from parcels 43 and 44.
3. The sign shall comply with approval of the certificate of appropriateness.
• Condition #1 just clarifies that you would be approving their proposal and not a wall
sign or multiple signs.
• Condition #2 is crafted to address visual impact on adjacent properties. As
proposed, the sign will face adjacent properties (be perpendicular to the road). This
condition is intended to either a) find there's no objection or b) provide options the
applicant can use to address the visual impact.
• I want to explain why condition #3 is included because Greg advises us to not
condition what is otherwise an ordinance requirement. Absent specific ordinance
criteria for this type of sign (EMS), the ARB design criteria address specifications that
allow it to meet the criteria for issuance of a special use permit. You may recall that
under criteria #2 (character of the district is unchanged) and #4 (consistency with
the comprehensive plan), I referred to how compliance with the design criteria allow
the SP criteria to be met.
