| 06/06/2014 | SIGN SITE REVIEW | Denied | PERMIT T14OT00591 FOR: NEW SIGNAGE AT: MCDONALD'S, 3232 N CAMPBELL AV. Reviewer: Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov 5/30/14 Applicable codes: Chapter 3 Sign Code (SC), Outdoor Lighting Code (OLC), National Electrical Code (NEC) and International Building Code (IBC) Unified Development Code (UDC) ***NOTE: ALL DETACHED SIGNS REQUIRE SIGN FOOTER/EXCAVATION INSPECTION PRIOR TO INSTALL*** GENERAL NOTES/ATTACHED SIGNAGE: 1) Development Package DP14-0048 is under revision, however, the zoning review division has approved the drive thru configuration. Building plan T14CM01541 matches the sign package submittal for exterior building façade work. 2) Provide height and setback from face of street curb for existing nonconforming pole sign. Sign is 96 sqft, clarify if keeping this sign. Double check sign area allowance. 3) Increase font of menu board pages - minimum font size is 12 point for records scanning. 4) The Valuations (on application) for the signs do not appear to be accurate - especially for the signs that are illuminated or have footers as well. Please understand, the reason this information is sought is not related to permit fees - it is to provide the federal government with permit value information. Prior recent McDonald's sign valuations exceed the values listed on this application. 5) Per 3-18, 3-32 - allowed sign area is 3 X street frontage. Length of lot line along Campbell may be used for street frontage as this is a stand alone site. Provide copy of DP14-0048 that shows the street frontage. 6) Revise permit application to list frontage noted. List existing sign area to be kept (exist pole sign is listed at 96 sqft) and list total proposed sign area on application. Examine total sign area to ensure within code allowances. 7) Clarify what signs are being removed with this submittal - we have records of 8 directional signs and a separate logo/entrance sign at 1.3 x 3 sqft - are all being removed then? 8) Clearly call out the sign area of each sign next to the dimensions for each sign in the construction page (it's very hard to find and the print is very small). Measure as boxed area. 9) What is the "Welcome" sign - is it a canopy sign or a wall sign? Provide attachment detail, if a canopy sign, it should appear on the tops of the canopies over the entrances in the south elevation views and west elevation views. If applicable, demonstrate meets criteria of a canopy sign per the Sign Code. DETACHED SIGNS: 10) Incidental signage such as "drive -thru" "order here"station poles and "clearance bars" cannot exceed 2 square feet sign area each (the text). Revise and fully dimension, noting sign area of each on the elevation view. 11) Per 3-18 & 3-63, Dimension cabinet for menu board, cannot exceed 7' height and 48 sqft sign area. (total sign area is the extents of the sign cabinet per Sign Code Administrator). List total sign area next to it. 12) The "reserved drive-thru" signs do not match any permitted sign type in the sign code except for freestanding signs, of which the maximum has been used on this site. You may revise these to make them incidental signs at 2 sqft max sign area and 30" tall. FOOTER DETAILS: 13) Per SC 3-18, provide diagram noting width/depth of sign footers (rebar and how installed to footer - pipe, bolts etc) for every self-supporting sign: drive thru clearance bars, traffic directionals, menu and order boards. (if approved on building plan sheet, provide that sheet - as long as it is stamped by building code reviewer. If building code reviewer did not stamp that sheet, the footers will need to be reviewed here in the sign package.) MOUNTING: 14. No mounting details were given in this packet. For each sign type, per SC 3-18, note method of mounting for each sign (type, size, number of screws/bolts, etc) and note the type of surface to which it is to be mounted. (i.e. block wall, frame/stucco, etc) 15. Under canopy signs were shown in another McDonald's package. If proposed, show here in this package - must be mounted to underside (ceiling) of the canopy (not to attach as prohibited projecting signs) and cannot swing. Include an attachment detail. If applicable, revise application to call out as "UC" for any proposed undercanopy signage. ELECTRICAL: 16. Electrical information is missing from typical sign details. On the construction diagram for EACH type of sign, list the volts, amps, circuits, and light source for each and label the disconnect switch. (NEC 600)(SC-3.18) ***This applies also to clearance/order/drive-thru bars and menu boards as well. *** No information was provided at all for the menu board electric (maybe missing sheet?) OUTDOOR LIGHTING CODE: 17. Per Chapter 4 (OLC): 403.5.1 The means of controlling the specific "off" curfew shall be by a 24 hour timing device that includes stand-by power to maintain the time and program for a minimum of 6 hours. ***Note a timer shall be provided for each sign.*** 18. Clarify the name of the sign contractor for this permit application - appears staff entered information in our system for a different sign company than the Sign-A-Rama in Chandler. Thank you. FURTHER REVIEW COMMENTS MAY BE FORTHCOMING, DEPENDING UPON RESPONSES PROVIDED. |
