Recommendation
APPROVE Certificate 5-A-11-DT subject to the following conditions: 1) the sign/light fixture is to be centered with the main entrance, and 2) the sign/light fixture is to be centered on the awning, above the sidewalk, at the same depth as the existing "Just Ripe" sign.Applicant Request
:- This proposal is for a new sign on a building that is on the National Register of Historic Places. This is a combination light, with a sign hanging below. Unlike most signs with a separate light, this light is more of a fixture on its own and it not attached solely to illuminate the sign.
- The sign/light fixture will have a clearance with the sidewalk of 10 feet. The sign will be approximately 28 inches wide by 17.5 inches tall, or 3.4 square feet. The sign will be made of wood or wood-like material, and will be painted. The sign itself will be non-illuminated.
Property Notes / Work to be Completed
- Section 1.C.7a of the Downtown Knoxville Design Guidelines states that a projecting sign shall have a maximum size of nine square feet. Section 1.C.9a of the guidelines states that the use of indirect lighting of the building façade is allowed where appropriate. Because of the unique design of this sign, staff determined the board should review the appropriateness of this sign and lighting fixture. It does not fit within a defined signage and/or lighting type in the guidelines and there has not been an approval by the board on a proposal like this in the past.
