RE: ARB-2018-65: CVS Pharmacy at HoAymead Town Center, Area B (Tax Map and Parcel 03200-00-00-043B0)
Dear Beth,
We have reviewed your request for the above -noted signs and have approved the designs as illustrated in the attached
drawings with original drawing date of 4/18/17. Please note that although the proposed wall sign did not meet every
criterion listed in the Comprehensive Sign Plan for TMP 32-43B (the CSP states that trim caps must be either bronze or
black, while the proposed trim caps are red), staff believes the visibility of the proposed wall sign, given the location's
distance from the EC, will mitigate this discrepancy. Therefore, you may consider this letter your Certificate of
Appropriateness.
This approval is specifically conditioned on the following:
1. Execution of the design indicated on the final approved plans, attachments, materials, samples, and other submittal
items presented.
2. The level of illumination produced by the LED lights shall not exceed the level of illumination produced by a
single stroke of 30 milliamp neon.
3. As per the Comprehensive Sign Plan, the wall sign must be mounted within the sign band; may not extend beyond
the designated sign band; must be centered vertically within the sign band, which shall be contained within a single
material/coIor; and at least 4" of clear space shall be provided above and below the sign, within the single
material/color.
Please note the following:
1. Any changes in the approved design will require a new application and additional review.
2. This ARB approval is only one approval required prior to installing a sign. An approved sign permit is also
required. Please do not proceed with the construction or installation of your sign until you have received your
signed permit. If you have questions about the status of a sign permit application, please contact the permit intake
staff at 296-5832.
If you have any questions concerning this action, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Heather McMahon, Senior Planner
