| Signs * | REVIEW COMPLETED | FROM: Georgia Pennington, Lead Planner DATE: 3/17/2026 COMMENTS: 1. Roof signs are not a permitted sign type per UDC Section 7A. The proposed sign must either be relocated below the roofline or a Master Sign Program (MSP) must be submitted for review and approval. 2. Based on the proposed signage, it is likely that an MSP will be required to address maximum sign area. This will be confirmed upon review of a complete sign permit application identifying all proposed signage. MSP PROCESS: A. The applicant shall first submit a complete permanent sign permit application for review. B. Upon review of the sign permit application, staff will determine whether a Master Sign Program (MSP) is required in accordance with UDC Section 7A. If an MSP is required, comments will be issued and the sign permit application cannot be approved at that time. C. The applicant must then submit a separate MSP application for review. D. The MSP application will be reviewed by a design professional, and provide any required revisions or conditions E. Upon approval of the MSP, the applicant shall resubmit the original sign permit application. The resubmittal must demonstrate consistency with the approved MSP. F. The sign permit will then be reviewed for compliance with the approved MSP prior to issuance. If you have any questions about this process, please contact me at georgia.pennington@tucsonaz.gov FROM Maria Gayosso, Principal Planner. The preliminary review by the Design Professional regarding sign compliance is available in the TDC account. Thank you. |
