1. We are requesting a sign standard adjustment to internally illuminate the monument sign. It is our intention to keep the same dimensions and location of the current monument sign, which complies with the requirements of Zone 7. We are seeking to enhance the monument sign design by utilizing internal illumination to project a professional appearance for our employees, customers, vendors and visitors, especially in the evening. 2. We are requesting a sign standard adjustment for the south-facing wall sign to allow for ≤ 90 sq ft sign copy area to maintain architectural consistency with the existing wall signs on the building to enhance the design and appearance of the property. The building has an existing “1275” sign which is of scale and proportion that match the size of the building. We intend to match the scale and proportion of the south-facing wall sign to the existing “1275” sign as both signs would be visible from the main entrance to the parking lot simultaneously. A ≤ 90 sq ft sign copy area on the south-facing building sign would also match the sign copy area on the north-facing building sign adding to the consistency of the building appearance, enhancing the professional nature of the CathX Medical business. • Subd. 3 “The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose of the zoning district in which the property is located or the current land use.” o Being surrounded by commercial properties in the Zone 7 I-FLEX district, an internally illuminated monument sign of Zone 7 compliant dimensions and a wall sign of consistent scale and proportions to the existing wall sign would enhance the level of professional appearance to our property, representing the high-tech nature of our medical manufacturing business. It would also fit with similar signage at businesses which are located near the intersection of Red Fox Road and Lexington Avenue while meeting the intended purposes of the I-FLEX district to support a combination of office, light industrial, manufacturing and service retail uses. Request with additional supporting information: • We are requesting Sign Standard Adjustment to enhance the design of the monument sign by adding subtle internal illumination to further represent the high-tech medical manufacturing business that CathX will operate at this site. The rendering shown in Appendix B generally describes the intended monument sign. o The monument is intended to be a 10”-12” deep cabinet with routed aluminum face, painted white and backed with a 1/4'” acrylic, printed blue and internal illumination showing the oval “Z” logo and “ZEUS” name and the site address below. • We are also requesting a Sign Standard Adjustment for the South-facing wall sign to be consistent with the architectural design, scale and proportion of the existing “1275” sign located on the south-east corner of the building.
