§ 30.72.055. Comprehensive Sign Plan.

Requests to modify the regulations for signs within the C-P zoning district per Table 30.72-1 shall be reviewed through a comprehensive sign plan application.

a.

Review. The comprehensive sign plan shall be reviewed through a design review application, shall be heard as a public hearing and approved by the Board. All applications shall be evaluated based on impacts to surrounding residential uses, the distance from the buildings to the street, the proximity of the signs to building entrances and tenant spaces, the use of adequate address display, and the scale, proportion and design of the signs as an integral part of the architecture of the building(s).

b.

Plans. Detailed plans shall be submitted addressing the following:

1.

Sign dimensions, including a maximum sign area for all signs.

2.

Color scheme.

3.

Lighting.

4.

Location of each sign on the building and on the ground.

5.

Construction materials.

c.

Sign Standards. Signs shall conform to the following, which cannot be waived or varied:

1.

Wall signs shall be constructed only of pan channel letters (no cabinet or can signs)

2.

Letters for wall signs shall only be illuminated internally (front or backlit lighting). There shall be no exposed lighting or lighting source.

3.

Monument and project identification signs may be illuminated provided signs are directly lit (up-lit or down-lit only).

4.

No animation or electronic message units or display are permitted.

5.

The color and design of signs shall complement the architecture of all buildings within the complex. The same color scheme shall be used for all signs throughout the site.

6.

A common lettering style shall be used for all signs throughout the site.

d.

Approval. Approval of the comprehensive sign plan by the Board shall establish the sign design and criteria for the site. The wall sign area approved for each tenant space shall not be transferred to another tenant space within the same complex. No waivers or variances are permitted to the standards approved within the sign plan; any request for a modification shall require submittal of a new comprehensive sign plan application.
