| 08/08/2024 | Signs | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | RE: new freeway sign review For: one freeway sign AT: 1306 W Grant Road / Chevron Zone: I-1 / within in 250 of the I-10 right of way Reviewers for sign criteria: H. Thrall (Heather.thrall@tucsonaz.gov or Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov or Robert.Parsons@tucsonaz.gov Reviewer: Dan Santa Cruz (electrical / Outdoor Lighting code) Dan.SantaCruz@tucsonaz.gov Reviewer: for structural: Justin.Eder@tucsonaz.gov Date: 08/08/24 Sign permit: TS-PRM-0724-00335 Codes: Unified Development Code – Sign Standards 7A, National Electrical Code (NEC 600) and Pima County -Tucson Outdoor Lighting Code (OLC), International Building Code (IBC) 2018. Proposal: is a new freeway sign (cabinet), utilizing one of two dual supports from prior freeway sign, and cutting off pipe to lower for the new sign to meet sign height per UDC 7A.6.5.B. 1. Per criteria of UDC 7A.10.2. The site is zoned I-1, is a commercial use (fuel and convenience store station) along I-10 (within 250 of I-10 right of way), is a premise allowed to have a freeway sign, the sign is on site, and has over 20’ setback from the I-10 frontage road, as shown in the proposal. A) Keep the aerial plan in your package, please. But - rather than utilize the former plan for the site, please utilize the site plan sheet from the current development package for the fuel station: DP21-027, found here: https://pro.tucsonaz.gov/permitdetails/DP21-0247/ then scroll down to the documents, and see the approved 4_plan set_v1 PDF at the top line to assist you. Add the site frontages and sign setback on that plan set, please. 2. UDC 7A.6.5b. - freeway sign HEIGHT (to top of cabinet) is measured FROM the elevation of the adjacent edge of the I-10 travel lane, and cannot exceed 48’ above that freeway grade point elevation. Freeway sign height appears to exceed allowance with an additional reduction of nearly 9 feet required. Check all data regarding site and freeway grade elevations. A site elevation difference of 18.2 feet lower than freeway grade, plus a maximum height of 48’ above freeway grade, indicates the maximum height of the sign should be 66.2 feet from site grade at base of sign (not 74.72 from site grade at base of the sign) to the top of the new sign cabinet. Revise. Clarifying - since 2012 – this freeway system does not appear to have construction changes that would alter the below helpful survey information. Per Rick Engineering survey done and shared in January 2014 email (in sign package T13OT00890): Freeway travel lane grade elevation level was 2326.7 Site elevation grade at the base of the sign was 2308.5. The difference between these elevations is 18.2 feet. Submitted plans for this project should be triple checked and adjusted for the grade difference. The grade difference noted is 26.72 on the elevation view for this project. Upon review of the 2013 sign plan set – work that did NOT happen – the elevation plans do not appear to accurately reflect that elevation difference (they also call out 26.72 feet difference between site elevation and freeway grade elevation, which appears to be an error). Elevation at the top of the existing sign - to top of that existing cabinet – is 2390.9. The sign cabinet was noted at 64.2 feet above the freeway grade elevation of 2326.7, which would require the re-use of any existing support system structures to be cut to allow for a new cabinet. The maximum height that is permitted for this sign is 48 feet above that freeway grade 2326.7 feet elevation, or 2,374 elevation measurement. The sign support system in this plan set shows a cut and reduction in height. However, it should be triple checked with all the elevation data from Rick Engineering from 2014, and ensured that the height is properly reduced to no more than 48’ above the freeway grade. as shown in this plan set, exceeds that height from freeway grade. A special inspection or survey (laser level measurement at install) for sign height verification is standard process. 3. Sign Area met – 7A.10.2.c.2.c: A) Acknowledged the sign area table on the elevation view at 162.2 square feet in area, thank you. The sign is well within the 360 sq.ft. allowed sign area for a freeway sign. 4. NEC 600 / OLC a) Acknowledged that NEC and OLC notes are on plan, and the commercial electrical reviewer has approved the package. 5. Engineering for IBC: received / and calcs will be reviewed after revision to lower sign height. A) The sign requires special inspections (on site welds, concrete, sign height, etc.) Please have Tony Jacob fill out the attached special inspection form (check your TDC portal for this document), and seal it on the left side in part B - and return the form to us with the type of inspections required for the sign, and the name of the qualified special inspector appointed by him to perform each type of inspection. Here’s the link to the list of special inspectors that are in the vicinity. The list is kept by the town of Oro Valley as courtesy to the professionals in the area: https://www.orovalleyaz.gov/Government/Departments/Community-and-Economic-Development/Special-Inspections B) Please check / clarify the material the sign faces consist of – usually it is a special fabric with a membrane system. Please clarify. C) Clarify exactly how the sign faces will be mounted securing within the cabinetry, given the need for high wind load capabilities for the sign. Add note to elevation sheets. This is essential information for follow up at a time when the paneling is to be changed out under a future change of copy permit that would need to be done by a licensed sign contractor. Please note that additional comments may be forthcoming, depending on responses provided. |
