tenant buildings or sites, the permitted sign area may be installed by each individual business establishment that has some exclusive use of the primary level of the building. 3833 Lexington Ave 3833 Lexington Ave Sign Type Sign District 5 PUD Amendment PUD Amendment (Permitted) (Planning Commission (Proposed) Recommendation) WALL 2 Large Bays: 240 SF 2 Large Bays: 140 SF Total Area per 80 SF Tenant 8 Small Bays: 115 SF 8 Small Bays: 80 SF Total Area for 800 SF 1,428 SF 920 SF Building There are a total of ten retail bays in the Phase I building. For the two larger corner bays, the applicant has requested 240 square feet of wall signage. Each of the three façades could have up to 80 square feet of signage. These bays have two façades each measuring 38 feet and one 70- foot façade. The remaining eight smaller retail bays would be allowed 115 square feet of signage each, divided between up to 60 square feet on the west side facing the interior of the development and 55 square feet on the east side facing Lexington Avenue. The smaller bays each have 20 feet of façade on either side of the building. Seven blade signs are also proposed for the western building façade. The signs would be located between the smaller retail bays approximately eight (8) feet above ground level. Each sign would have an area of four (4) square feet. Based on the proposal, it is unclear how the seven signs will be distributed between the eight small bays. The Planning Commission has recommended that these signs not be counted towards the allowed wall signage per tenant, as they will be serving an auxiliary purpose. Window Signage The submitted sign plan includes non-branded window banner coatings on several of the window panes of the retail bays at the northern and southern end of the building. Since the Planning Commission review of the application, Roberts Management Group has revised their plans and is no longer proposing any window banner coatings at this time. If the Council approves the proposed sign plan, the applicant will be required to submit a revised plan that removes the window banner coatings prior to Council review of a PUD Amendment Agreement. The conditions of approval have been revised to reflect this change. The applicant continues to work with prospective tenants to determine if there is a need for opacity at certain window locations.
