COA Request:
Approval of signage and awning
Design Guideline references:
Comments:
Awning: Section 11 – pages 123-126
Signage: Section 15 – pages 156-158
Property is non-contributing element per Historic Survey.
External illumination of signage is encouraged by the Design Guidelines and
neon is not specifically addressed. While neon can be appropriately used to
enhance the character of a building that would have historically featured this
medium, it does not appear to be the proposed function in this application.
Consider an externally illuminated board sign or backlit lettering at building face
to increase compatibility with surrounding district. A custom window sign, sized
to meet the sign ordinance, may be a more appropriate (limited) use of neon.
Proposed striped canvas awning appears to follow Design Guidelines. Clarify
height of overhang and projection from building face.
