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 Knox County Zoning Ordinance, as appropriate.
This is a request to add a new building sign to an office building located on the northeast side of Cherahala Boulevard, southeast of Kemp Fair Lane. The proposed sign is for Type One Energy.
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 area of the proposed building sign is 48 sq ft. This is within the maximum allowable area of 100 sq ft, based on the building's linear frontage of 350 ft.
2. The proposed sign will feature the company name and logo. It will consist of a brushed aluminum panel with individually mounted channel letters. The paneling will be mounted directly onto the building façade and will not protrude above the height of the building.
3. The logo and lettering will be composed of aluminum backs with plexi faces and illuminated with white LED lighting. Both the panel and lettering will have matte finishes.
4. The proposed sign has four colors: gray and three shades of blue. The three shades of blue are very subtle and integral to the company's corporate image. Per TTCDA Guideline 4.1.6, the number of colors may exceed three where it is desirable to preserve a corporate image.
B. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROPOSED SIGNAGE TO SIGNAGE ON NEARBY PROPERTIES, IN TERMS OF SIZE, LOCATION, MATERIALS, AND COLOR
1. The proposed sign is in proportion with signs in the vicinity.
