| 06/05/2024 | Signs | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | RE: freestanding sign review For: Cubesmart AT: 2424 N Oracle Rd Sign Permit: TS-PRM-0424-00151 Reviewer: Heather Thrall (Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov) Date: 4/22/24 (1st review) June 5, 2024, 2nd review Codes applicable to signage include: Unified Development Code (UDC, 7A, Sign Standards), National Electrical Code (NEC), Tucson - Pima County Outdoor Lighting Code (OLC), International Building Code (IBC) 1. UDC: A) (repeat comment) Per UDC 7A.10.2.C.2.a.(3)(iv) – the location does not have sufficient street property line frontage for a pole sized category of a freestanding sign. A minimum of 225’ of street property line frontage is required for a pole sign. Please note that a monument or low-profile sign could be permitted here, if they met code for height, setback from street curb and sign area on the cabinet. B) provide a setback dimension from the street curb face to leading edge of the sign. Sign is shown 1.6” from property line, understanding it is a reduced setback from the street – exact distance unclear. Reduced setback less than 30’ for a pole sign also requires SDRC review. C) (repeat comment) The City of Tucson has a Master Sign Program process available to allow applicants to seek variations to code criteria (i.e .height or setback for example), providing good design is shown for the sign (requires a top, middle and base, architectural compatibility with site buildings and in alignment with other freestanding signs in the geographic area for the code variation requested. Please review UDC 7A.7.1. E and G, and purpose for the Sign Standards 7A.7 and purpose for the master sign program for additional information. Note that redesign would be required for the sign structure. (i.e. base and topper to have architectural components of the building added to it) D) (NEXT STEPS) First, revise the plan set to show a topper and a base for the sign that architecturally compliments the building on site – and add a setback to the site plan from face of street curb. Next, apply on our TDC portal for a “Master Sign Program” for the proposal for allowance of a pole sign and at a reduced setback. Staff is attaching the applications for you in this permit, under attachments. Please review them in detail and respond to each question. Only after an SDRC review is done, and a potential approval is issued, would a structural review be done for the sign (redesigned with a base / topper). 2) NEC / OLC A) add note that replacement sign is using existing power to prior freestanding sign 3) IBC - A) thank you for engineering for footer and pipe; note though, that due to the size of freestanding sign allowed for this site, the engineering provided was not reviewed for this structure at this time. B) provide attachment details for any size of detached sign (not in engineering, it appears for footer and pole) C) note any field welding or size / type / number of bolts (A325s mentioned in engineer statement, requires special inspections) Resubmittal requires new design – either to a low-profile sig or monument sign that meets code, or a re-design of this sign with all criteria of a master sign program sign implemented on the plans (i.e. the topper, middle and base and good design). Please feel free to email me with any questions. Thank you. (Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov) |
