| 04/06/2023 | Signs | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | RE: sign review For: replacement digital message center on freestanding sign Site: 3255 N Campbell Avenue / St. James Church Zoning: R-1 Permit: TS-PRM-0223-00192 Reviewer: H. Thrall (Heather.Thrall@tucsonz.gov) Date: 4/6/23 Codes; Unified Development Code (UDC) 7A, Sign Standards, National Electrical Code (NEC 600), Tucson - Pima County Outdoor Lighting Code (OLC), International Building Code (IBC) 2018. 1. Per UDC 7A.10.2.A & B.- maximum sign area allowed for a freestanding monument sign within the R-1 zone for a non-residential use is 32 square feet. The existing sign is 45 square feet in area, and is nonconforming to current code by a couple decades. The existing sign contains both a static message panel and a digital cabinet. While it is understood the applicant seeks to replace just the digital message center portion on the sign at a slightly smaller sign area than existing, the replacement is not considered a reasonable repair per 7A.9.2., nonconforming signs. Thus, a permit cannot be issued directly for the request unless it meets code. To proceed: there are two options to meet code: 1) redesign the total sign face on each side of the sign at no greater than 32 square feet in area (can be combination of static and digital or all digital) or 2) submit for a sign area increase from 32 to 42 total square feet per sign face via the Sign Design Review Committee process. An application would be required for this process, which requires a top / middle / bottom design to the sign. If you would like to go through the SDRC process, staff will facilitate this with applications and discussion. Please reach out to me at Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov |
