| 10/14/2022 | COT - ENGR - Signage Final | Passed | {Activity date: 10/14/2022; Status: Approved; Inspector: Hthrall; Comment: Entered by HTHRALL1 - El Con signed approved letter forwarded from Portillo's legal dept.} ; {Activity date: 10/10/2022; Status: Partial Approval; Inspector: Hthrall; Comment: Entered by HTHRALL1 - Sign contractor emailing daily about status. Reminding of need for El Con property management permission for signage, inclusive of monument sign (rezoning conditions - one premise). El Con Center is one overall site for both zoning purposes and sign standards. All parking and access for all lots within El Con are shared. El Con - as an overall site - also has several conditions of rezoning, one of which requires a uniform freestanding sign design within landscape areas, and Portillo's proposed freestanding sign is subject to this rezoning condition. As Portillo's lot is not a premise, the El Con frontage overall was used to calculate number of signs and show of existing signs. The El Con management team would need to approve that one lot/entity within the overall center is requesting to utilize one of the freestanding signs allowed for the overall center, and that it is a sign much larger in structural surface area and sign area for one establishment than existing El Con site signs (though it meets similar heights and design embellishments / colors / materials).} ; {Activity date: 10/03/2022; Status: Partial Approval; Inspector: Hthrall; Comment: Entered by HTHRALL1 - Sign contractor emailing daily about status.

Thrall / D. Santa Cruz Date of 3rd review: 09/29/22 Outdoor Lighting Code re-reviewed the sign package for the monument and agreed the LED light bars on the proposd monument sign are enclosed lights within the sleeve, and meet the outdoor lighting code for signs purposes only per Building Official's interior sign cabinet interpretation. Just need letter of permission from El Con Property Management for Portillo's monument sign and wall signs. El Con is the overall premise for signs (shared access and parking) and rezoning conditions call for El Con to have uniform signage (freestanding). The number of freestanding signs is taken from the entire El Con shopping center street frontage because Portillo's is not a separate premise. Reminded sign contractor.

Thrall Date: 7/22/22 Codes: Unified Development Code (UDC) 7A Sign Standards, National Electrical Code (NEC 600), Tucson-Pima County Outdoor Lighting Code (OLC), and International Building Code 2018 (IBC) Ch. 16. Wind, seismic and design loads. NOTE: This site, El Con, is subject to rezoning conditions that regulate outdoor lighting and signs. **LED Lighting on building requires a building permit review ** Also, see conditions of rezoning for location and ensure building lighting meets the condition. General / UDC comments: 1. Street Frontage: revise application and sign plan to match the frontage on the development plan, at 120.34' - from west to east side of the drive through lane. Sign area is based on that at 120 x 3 = 360 (secondary cap is no more than 30% of each building elevation can be covered with signage) also, drive thru and directional signage does not count toward this sign area allowance. (take off the 205' dimension on the plan going north to south - it's not frontage) 2. Building accent lighting needs to be reviewed under building permit on the building plan set, due to need for lumen count for the site. Please know that El Con has rezoning lighting conditions as well as signage conditions. 3. Provide documentation that El Con ownership has reviewed / approved all signage. 4. No menu boards are shown in this package, yet the location has a drive through. Do you not have the contract for install? (even if GC pours footer, the sign contract would be installing with bolts…) Clarify. NEC / OLC comments: 5. a. Provide lock outs on all disconnects to wall signage. b. clarify if back of lettering signs are indeed solid aluminum, as the signs are raised off wall surface, is it intended for clear backer for a halo lighting effect as well as front lit? c. Note signs are UL and power supplies are UL - or equivalent d. add note timer must be set to the later of either business closure or midnight curfew e. add location of timer (preferably next to breaker panel) f. add location of the breaker panel and note that each sign circuit to be labeled on the panel
