This is a request for approval of a building sign for a business in the existing 26,340 ft office building on Cogdill Rd near the Dutchtown Rd interchange.
PURSUANT TO ARTICLE V, SECTION 4 OF THE TTCDA ADMINISTRATIVE RULES AND PROCEDURES, THE DECISION OF THE TTCDA TO APPROVE A SIGN MUST BE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:
A. CONFORMITY OF THE SIGN PROPOSAL WITH THE DESIGN GUIDELINES
1) The proposed building sign includes the business name for "RidgeBrooke Tax & Retirement" and the logo. The sign will be located on the north side of the building that faces Cogdill Rd on the brick façade of the second floor of the building. There are 2 existing signs on the north side, one for Denton Financial Group and one for Gentiva Hospice.
2) The new sign consists of halo LED-illuminated reverse channel letters mounted to the building via a raceway. The sign will have a matte brushed aluminum paint finish.
3) The sign size allowed is up to 100 sq ft, which is based on the building frontage. Since there are multiple building signs, the square footage for all 3 signs on the building will be up to 100 sq ft. The proposed sign comprises an area of 52 sq ft. Denton Financial Group and Gentiva Hospice have sign sizes 27.5 sq ft and 11.896 sq ft respectively. The total for this office building is 99.276 sq ft, which is within the 100 sq ft maximum allowed.
B. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROPOSED SIGNAGE TO SIGNAGE ON NEARBY PROPERTIES, IN TERMS OF SIZE, LOCATION, MATERIALS, AND COLOR
1) The sign materials are similar to the others on the building.
