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)(l)
.
.
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(C)(2)
.
Fuel island canopies shall be permitted to have a maximum of two (2) signs for the fuel logo
only. The signs shall be attached to, or painted on, the canopy face. The height and width of
the sign shall be reviewed with regard to its proportional relationship to the height and width
of the canopy face to which it is attached or painted. The sign shall be a maximum of twenty
(20) square feet but in no case shall the sign cover more than one-third (1/3) of the area of
the face of the canopy to which it is attached or painted.
