C) ~-_.../ ( ) .. , 6A. Signage - Clarification needed on wall signage, clarification needed on freestanding sign lighting; meets all other sign requirements. . The plans do not indicate locations of sign age for the property. Sign age for the property as permitted by the Sign Ordinance would include the following: Signage Type of Sign Sign District 8 Regulations Proposed Wall Sienaee Max Area 30 sf *#30 sf Max Height 14 ft - Li!!htin!! Not permitted #External/U nspecified Freestandine Signage Max Area 60 sf **50 sf Max Height 8ft 6ft (sign and SUIJPort) Lightin!! External/Internal ***lnternallBacklit? Auxiliary Sienaee Wall 6 sf Insufficient data Freestanding 6 sf Insufficient data Max Height Wall 6ft 1-2 ft (of Sign Face) Freestandine 6ft 3.5 ft * Section 333.9 of the Sign Ordinance: "In multi-tenant buildings or sites the permitted sign area and sign types, except for permitted freestanding signs, may be installed by each individual business establishment that has exclusive use of some portion of the street or otherwise primary level of the building and direCT access to the outside. "- All 30 units could have 30 sf of unlit wall signage. . **The applicant's letter states that they are requesting a sign of 120 square feet which is the total sign mass. The 50 square feet shmvn above is the area of the sign face, which is what this provision regulates. ***The plans show PIN mounted letters on a metal panel. The assumption is that these are illuminated channel letters which would be permitted. The sign ordinance does not allow the face of the sign to be backlit in this sign district. #The application is confusing in that it shows the "Typical Address Sign and Light" (sheet A2.2) and also include areas on the walls for "Optional Signage" (on both sheets A2.1 and A2.2). It appears that every unit would have the extemally illuminate "Address Sign and Light" and unit owners could purchase the "Optional Signage." While it appears that a unit owner could have both signs and still meet our sign size criteria (total would be about 21 sf), the total amount of signage on the building could be 126 sf (on the 6 unit building). Staff reconunends a condition in the POO document establishing a comprehensive sign plan for the development (as part of or an addendum to the PUD document) which would place restrictions on the location and design of signage. 7A. Aesthetics/Building Materials - Main building material meets requirement, secondary/trim materials are not included as permitted exterior materials. The site layout includes four buildings with I and 2-story units slab on grade. The remaining 3 buildings would be I and 2-story walkouts. The overall design of the buildings is supposed to give the impression of a residential townhouse development. Dormers are used above the 1- story units to give the impression of a second floor. The 2-story units include the gables where actual windows would bring light into the office condominiums. \\Earth\Planning\Planning Cases\2005\05-12 Arden I!ills Office Park - Royal Oaks Realty - PUD, Preliminary Pl:'lt fOT Old City Hall & PW Site .
