This is a request to add three new building signs to a church located at 2116 Valley Vista Road. The church is situated on a 10.55-acre property on the east side of Valley Vista Road, and north of Carmichael Road. The church name and logo signage will face Pellissippi Parkway, and two logo signs will be placed on the front and west side of the building.
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.

2. The proposed signs meet each of the relevant requirements under policy 4.4 building signs.
The three proposed signs will not protrude above the building, and the contents of the signs have been kept minimal; solely the church name and logo. The total square footage of the three requested signs is 139.67 sq ft which is well within the allowable amount of signage of 200 sq ft for two building frontages. The primary sign with the logo and church name is a total of 79.17 sq ft, while the two logos on either side of the building are each 30.25 sq ft.
3. All three requested signs will be illuminated with LED lighting.
B. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROPOSED SIGNAGE TO SIGNAGE ON NEARBY PROPERTIES, IN TERMS OF SIZE, LOCATION, MATERIALS, AND COLOR
