Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness for a Sign Permit, for the proposed building sign, with the following condition:1) Meeting all relevant requirements of the Knoxville Zoning Ordinance, as appropriate.
This request is to install 2 double-sided yard signs for a 9-building apartment complex. The property has two driveways, one on Cornerstone Drive and another on Murdock Drive.
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 double-sided sign face is a total of 88 sq. ft. The sign structure is 109.5 sq. ft., which is below the maximum of 300 sq. ft. required for subdivision signs.
2. The sign face is 12 in deep and is made of fabricated aluminum.
3. The sign structure is made of cultured stone veneer to match the stone on the property.
4. The yard sign structure is 6 ft tall, with a minor portion of the arch 6 ft, 6 in above the finished grade. This meets the TTCDA criteria for a subdivision sign, which cannot exceed 12 ft measured from the grade.
B. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROPOSED SIGNAGE TO SIGNAGE ON NEARBY PROPERTIES, IN TERMS OF SIZE, LOCATION, MATERIALS, AND COLOR.
1. Both signs are set 20 feet from the property line. The sign structure is consistent with materials used on the apartment buildings. There are no other apartment complexes in the area currently, but the signage is consistent with signage found in apartment complexes in the broader general area.
