Staff Recommendation
Based on the application and plans as submitted, staff recommends Approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the requested sign permit with the following condition:1) Meeting all relevant requirements of the Knox County Zoning Ordinance, as appropriate.
1) This is a request for approval of a change in a business building and yard sign at the existing office building at Valley Vista Road and Carmichael Road.
2) The proposed building sign includes the organization logo for The University of Tennessee and the word "RESEARCH". This replaces the existing sign for "LM local motors" that faces Pellissippi Parkway. The new building sign will be facing Valley Vista Road.
3) The yard sign is to be 5.875-ft tall and will use the existing monument base on Valley Vista Road.
4) The new building sign consists of internally illuminated channel letters mounted to the building via a raceway. The sign consists of the word "RESEARCH" and an orange and white logo with black trim and returns. The paint finish is flat.
5) The yard sign is LED-illuminated aluminum, made of aluminum, and double sided with .5 in push through letters and routed letters backed with acrylic. The sign is orange, white and gray with a flat finish.
6) The building sign comprises an area of 99.7 square feet, which is over the limits allowed for this business based on the 160 feet of building frontage, which yields a maximum sign area of 100 square feet.
7) The yard sign comprises a message area of 11.75 square feet per side, which is within the 100 square feet limit. The overall area is 18 square feet per side, which is meeting the limits allowed as it is 1.5 times the message area.
