Page 1 of 1 Lew, Johnathan From: Lew, Johnathan Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2008 1:30 PM To: 'Blake' Cc: Widero, Dee Subject: OV3-08-04, Sign Criterion for National Future Benefits Attachments: Wachovia Securities.pdf Blake, I apologize for the late comments regarding your submittal. A sign criteria is required per OVZCR 28.2.B. The purpose of the sign criteria is to ensure the consistent application of signs within a development. Unfortunately, I failed to look at the existing permitted signs for Wachovia Securities and the DRB submittal for National Future Benefits more closely. The DRB proposal does not match the Wachovia Securities signs. The development plan for this site consists of 2 buildings (Wachovia Securities on the corner, with National Future Benefits behind them). Staff would like to achieve consistency between these 2 buildings by incorporating one sign criterion for the entire Development Plan. The criterion could be written to provide different colors (brushed brass/copper, black, etc.). Staff wants everyone on "the same sheet of music" in terms of signage for this development. Per our conversation, I will place your submittal on hold and continue to work with you on developing this criterion. I understand your clients desire to have signage in place by the time they open. I am willing to grant a banner to be permitted on the site for the necessary time it takes us to resolve this matter. Normally, the fee for the banner is $50 for every 30 days; however, I would allow the banner to be placed with just the $50 review fee for the permit. Once again, I apologize for bringing this to your attention so late. Please feel free to contact me at (520) 229- 4853 or at jlew@orovalleyaz.,gov.

The sub-committee members spoke favorably of the submittal, and requested that the applicant mirror the existing signs on site. o Applicant's Response: The applicant has incorporated the design of the existing signage into the sign criterion. o Staffs Response: None ANALYSIS OF OVZCR 22.6.B DEVELOPMENT REVIEW CRITERIA "In considering any application for development review, the Development Review Board shall be guided" by a specific list of criteria when deliberating. The following is a list of noteworthy criteria(in italics) followed by staff commentary: 1. The Development Review Board shall examine the application to insure that all provisions of this Code and all other Codes, master plans, general plans and standards of the Town shall be complied with where applicable. A. OVZCR Compliance The following table is a summary of compliance with OVZCR 28.6.B. Sign=Type Standard 'roposed OVZCR Standard Wall Signs Size 1:1 Sign Allowance 1:1 Sign Allowance Illumination Internal, using key line Internal or Halo application Number No more than two No more than two elevations elevations Freestanding Sign Height 8 feet 8 feet Size 39.5 square feet 50 square feet Illumination Halo Internal and Halo In sum, the applicant's proposal meets the standards set forth in the OVZCR Chapter 28 Signs. TOWN OF ORO VALLEY STAFF REPORT TO THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD, OV3-08-004 Page 3 of 4 2. The proposed development shall promote a desirable relationship of structures to one another, to open spaces and topography both on the site and in the surrounding neighborhood. Compatibility within the Development The design of the freestanding sign incorporates a square form that is similar to the building's architecture and utilizes stone blocks that are similar in color both buildings. Additionally, the proposal includes the use of internally illuminated wall signs. In previous submittals staff has encouraged applicants to utilize halo illumination. Halo illumination provides a softer form of illumination and is generally more acceptable; however, the applicant has chosen to use an internally illuminated wall signs with an opaque faces and "keyline" illumination. With the "keyline" illumination only the outside edge of each letter emits light. Under normal circumstances wall mounted signs are mounted to a stucco background which provides an even reflective surface. However, the "keyline" illumination would allow the applicant to mount the wall sign away from the building and still achieve an effect that is similar to halo illumination. The freestanding sign incorporates halo illuminated tenant panels. Halo illumination is not commonly used on freestanding sign because the light areas would blend obscuring the text of the sign. In sum, the wall and freestanding signs are compatible. 3. The character of the proposed design shall be in harmony with, and compatible to, those structures and signs in the neighboring environment and the design character adopted for any given area avoiding excessive variety or monotonous repetition. Surrounding Areas The area surrounding this development has a large variety of freestanding signs. The applicant's proposal uses mostly metallic colors with white halo illumination. The Suffolk Hills Pet clinic uses a freestanding sign,which is white, red, and internally illuminated. The applicant's proposal, though different from the surrounding areas, sets a good standard for future signs to follow with the use of solid colors, and halo illumination. The colors of the wall signs have been limited to black, patina finish, polished/brushed copper or brass, and metallic silver. The colors used by other developments include the use of red, yellow and non-metallic colors. In sum, the applicant's proposal is different then the colors of existing development and uses a softer form of illumination. It meets the Oro Valley design guidelines to a greater degree. 4 In order to protect the visual serenity of the Town, design of signage should be based on trying to get the information across with the least signage possible. All wall signs must meet OVZCR standards of one square foot of signage per linear foot of building frontage. The proposed sign criteria further limits the placement of signs on the west elevations facing the adjacent neighborhoods. In sum, the applicant's proposal meets the standards of the OVZCR and minimizes its impact on the adjacent neighborhood. 5 Signs, ingress, egress, internal traffic circulation, off-street parking facilities, loading and service areas and pedestrian ways shall be so designed as to promote safety and convenience. The Town's Public Works department has evaluated the freestanding sign's placement. The sign does not pose any potential safety conflicts - I TOWN OF ORO VALLE) STAFF REPORT TO THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD, OV3-08-004 Page 4 of 4 6 Sign designs shall be in compliance with the purpose statements established in Chapter 28. All components of a development shall be in compliance with Addendum A Design Guidelines. Addendum A, Design Guidelines are written to reflect the purpose statements in Chapter 28, Signs. Both areas of the code address uniqueness, character, compatibility and the use of materials and colors that appear natural to the environment and surrounding community. The applicant's proposal meets Chapter 28 purpose statements. SUMMARY OF FACTORS Findings in Favor 1. The size of the signage conforms to existing OVZCR standards. 2. The signs are internally and externally compatible. 3. The DRB Sub-committee on Signs expressed support for the proposed sign package. Findings Against 1. None RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that DRB approve the applicant's proposal for a sign criteria and freestanding sign.
