RE: ARB-2017-75: Al Carbon Chicken Sign
Dear Michael,
I have received your application for the above -referenced sign. There is an approved Comprehensive Sign Plan for the
Woodbrook Shopping Center and your proposal does not meet the approved design criteria outlined therein.
Consequently, I am not able to approve your request for the ARB. The following items are at issue:
l . The approved Comprehensive Sign Plan does not allow for internally illuminated signs. The sign may be externally
illuminated or non -illuminated. Please revise the drawings to indicate one of the approvable options. If the sign will
be externally illuminated and you plan to install a new fixture(s), provide the location of proposed light fixtures and
manufacturer cut sheets describing illumination type, intensity, style, shielding, color and height. All lighting must
meet ordinance requirements as outlined in Albemarle County Code, Chapter 18, Section 4.17.
2. The Comprehensive Sign Plan limits sign type to panel signs. Please revise the sign drawings to indicate a panel sign
instead of a box sign.
3. The Comprehensive Sign Plan requires consistency with all standard Entrance Corridor sign guidelines, including
those pertaining to scale and proportion. The proposed sign appears over -scaled in the available wall area. Please
revise the sign drawings to provide additional clear space between the edges of the gable and the upper corners and
lower side of the sign.
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.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Chief of Planning/Resource Management
