SDRC REFERRAL TO PROCEED AFTER 8/20 RETURN OF DESIGN PROFESSIONAL. (SIGN AREA INCREASE, SETBACK REDUCTIONS BOTH STREETS) SEE REVIEW COMMENTS: RE: SIGN PERMIT REVIEW FOR: NEW MONUMENT SIGN CABINET TO ADD TO EXISTING CABINET ON RETRO-FITTED STRUCTURE AT: 777 W CUSHING (FORMERLY 350 S FREEWAY) - RAMADA INN PERMIT: T18OT00722 NOTE: NOTED THIS PERMIT REVIEW IS FOR PENDING SDRC REVIEW (VARY SETBACK, SIGN AREA, ETC.) REVIEWER: H.THRALL DATE: 08/01/18 ZONING: C-3 1) SCOPE: UNDERSTOOD THIS IS BOTH AN EXISTNG AND A NEW CABINET ON A MONUMENT SIGN STRUCTURE BEING RETRO-FITTED WITH NEW STRUCTURAL MOUNTING AND FOOTER SUPPORTS FOR THE OVERALL SIGN STRUCTURE. THE BOTTOM SIGN CABINET FACE WILL BE A DIGITAL MESSAGE CENTER, THE TOP EXISTING SIGN CABINET WILL BE RETROFITTED WITH LED LIGHTS AND REMAIN AS A STATIC DISPLAY. AS SUCH CABINETRY IS ALL NEW, IT IS A NEW SIGN. PRIOR SIGN STRUCTURE PERMIT NOT LOCATED FOR FOOTER REFERENCE. ACKNOWLEDGED ENGINEERING IS PROVIDED FOR OVERALL STRUCTURE RETROFIT CONSTRUCTION. 2) (REFERRED FOR SDRC) SIGN AREA: MAXIMUM SIGN AREA FOR A MONUMENT SIGN IS 50 SQUARE FEET. THE PROPOSAL IS SHOWING A TOTAL SIGN AREA OF APPROXIMATELY 88 SQUARE FEET. THIS ASPECT DOES NOT MEET THE SIGN DESIGN CRITERIA. THE ALTERNATIVE TO A REVISION IS, PER U.D.C. 7A.11.1, TO REQUEST INCREASED SIGN AREA FOR A MONUMENT SIGN VIA AN APPLICATION FOR A SINGULAR SIGN DESIGN OPTION FOR REVIEW UNDER THE SIGN DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE (SDRC). SIGN AREA: UDC 7A.10.2.C.2.a.1. 3) (REFERRED FOR SDRC - FOR EACH STREET) SETBACK: MINIMUM SIGN SETBACK FROM ADJACENT STREET CURBS FOR A MONUMENT SIGN IS 20 FEET. PROPOSAL SHOWS SETBACKS OF 11.41 FEET FROM CUSHING STREET AND 15.33 FEET FROM I-10 FRONTAGE ROAD. THIS PROPOSED ASPECT DOES NOT MEET THE SIGN DESIGN CRITERIA. THE ALTERNATIVE TO A REVISION IS, PER U.D.C. 7A.11.1., TO: a) REQUEST REDUCED SETBACK FROM CUSHING STREET CURB FROM 20 TO 11.41 FEET b) REDUCED SETBACK FROM I-10 SOUTHBOUND FRONTAGE ROAD STREET CURB FROM 20 TO 15.33 FEET. 4) PLAN CORRECTIONS: NUMBER OF FREESTANDING SIGNS PER STREET FRONT FOR A PREMISE IN C-3 ZONE, CALCULATION: (note - this is not referring to freeway sign category signs, nor access point signs) FRONTAGES ARE NOT a) (STAFF EVAULATED SIGN STRADDLES BISECTION LINE, COUNTS AS ONE SIGN PER STREET FRONT. FOR EACH SIGN ON LOCAL STREET - CUSHING - REDUCES ALLOWANCE ON ARTERIAL BY ONE. THIS MEANS THAT THOUGH 559' OF STREET FRONTAGE ALONG I-10 WOULD ORDINARILY ALLOW TWO SIGNS, ONE IS TAKEN OFF BY PLACEMENT OF A FREESTANDING SIGN ON CUSHING. BOTH SIGNS ON PLAN, BISECT CORNER OF POINT WHERE CUSHING AND I-10 CURBS MEET. THIS BISECTION LINE SHOULD BE SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN AND INDICATE WHERE THE SIGN IS POSITIONED. b) CUSHING STREET IS A LOCAL STREET, WITH A FRONTAGE ON THE PLAN AT 479' FEET. I-10 FRONTAGE RD IS AN ARTERIAL WITH A FRONTAGE ON THE PLAN AT 559' FEET (ALLOWS 2 SIGNS) IF BISECTION PLACES SIGN ON BOTH STREET FRONTS, IT COUNTS AS TWO SIGNS - ONE PER STREET. 7A.6.9.D.2. c) PER UDC 7A.10.2.C.2.A.2 - THIS CORNER SIGN WOULD COUNT AS THE ONLY FREESTANDING SIGN ALLOWED ON THE LOCAL STREET SIDE, AND IN TURN, THIS SIGN WOULD ALSO COUNT AS THE ONLY FREESTANDING SIGN ALLOWED ON THE I-10 FRONTAGE -BY CODE - AS FOR EACH SIGN PLACED ON A LOCAL STREET, THE NUMBER ALLOWED ON THE ARTERIAL STREET IS REDUCED BY ONE, THUS LEAVING ALLOWANCE FOR JUST THE SINGLE SIGN. 5) PLAN CORRECTIONS: OUTDOOR LIGHTING CODE: A) (REPEAT COMMENT) AC |
