Staff Recommendation
Based on the application and plans as submitted, staff recommends Approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness for a sign permit with the following condition:1) Meeting all relevant requirements of the Knoxville Zoning Ordinance, as appropriate.
This is a request for a new sign for the building at the southern terminus of Omni Lane. The Pipe Wrench Plumbing Company is relocating to this site and is moving the existing sign from their current location to this location. The sign was permitted and reviewed under the regulations for the existing zoning, but the TTCDA Guidelines have requirements for sign size based on the building frontage. The building faces the street at an angle, and Planning staff used the larger frontage to calculate the sign size allotted. The signage can be placed on any façade, and in this case, the sign is placed on the shorter façade.
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 relocated sign consists of channel letters individually mounted to the building via a raceway that will be painted to match the building. The sign has a matte finish.
2. Based on the longer building length, the area of the proposed sign could be up to 135.5 sq ft. The sign to be relocated is 75.56 sq. ft. and is within the maximum 100 square footage allotted.
B. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROPOSED SIGNAGE TO SIGNAGE ON NEARBY PROPERTIES, IN TERMS OF SIZE, LOCATION, MATERIALS, AND COLOR
1. The sign is similar in size, location, and materials to the others in the area.
