STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL: (None)
B. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL:
.
The general theme of the Design Review Overlay District is to encourage the use of American
Northwest and 1870 through 1930 architectural styles and the use of those materials, graphics
and architectural designs set forth in the DR chapter.
.
Signage for any project shall provide for business identification and minImIZe clutter and
confusion on and off the site. Signs are to provide effective and necessary business
identification systems adapted to the building design.
.
Section 8-2A-8(K)(1)
No signs shall be erected or maintained in any district as established by the Zoning
Ordinance except those signs specifically enumerated in this Chapter. The number and area
of signs as outlined in this Chapter are intended to be maximum standards which do not
necessarily ensure architectural compatibility. Therefore, in addition to the enumerated
standards, consideration shall be given to a sign's relationship to the overall appearance of
the subject property as well as the surrounding community. Compatible design, simplicity
and sign effectiveness are to be used in establishing guidelines for sign approval.
.
Section 8-2A-8(C)(5)
Sign materials and overall appearance shall compliment with the building architecture and
colors as determined by the Design Review Board.
.
Section 8-2A-8(E)(1)
The Design Review Board must find that any internally-illuminated sign which may be
permitted under the specific regulations within this Chapter shall be designed such that
brightness levels shall be controlled to assure a soft subtle effective light in accordance with
other City regulations intended to create and maintain the American Northwest 1870s' to
1930s' architectural appeal. A maximum of 430 milliamps may be permitted for any
internally illuminated sign subject to Design Review Board approval.
C. DISCUSSION:
.
The sign application states that the internal illumination for this proposed sign is not to exceed
430 MA, however the sign plan states that 800 MA fluorescent lamps are proposed to be used.
The applicant should be required to provide a modified sign plan showing that the internal
illumination for the proposed sign does not exceed 430 MA as permitted by Eagle City Code.
The revised sign plan should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to issuance or a ~lgn
permit.
There are several existing building wall signs on this building. The applicant should be required
to remove all existing building wall signs prior to issuance of a sign permit.
