Staff Recommendation
Based on the application and plans as submitted, the 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 Knoville Zoning Ordinance, as appropriate.
This is a request to add a new building sign to a multi-tenant office building in the Pellissippi Pointe IV office complex, located southeast of the Dutchtown Road/Cogdill Road intersection. This is in addition to an existing building sign for another business in the building, which is located on the other side of the front façade. The proposed building sign is for Gentiva Hospice. The sign will be located in the upper right corner of the front building façade facing Cogdill Rd.
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. Using only the sign area of the letters since they are mounted individually, the area of the proposed sign would be approximately 11.90 sq ft. The total square footage for the entire building, consisting of the existing and proposed sign, is 39.39 sq ft. This is well within the 100-ft maximum allowable square footage, based on the building's linear frontage of 120 ft.
2. The sign will be comprised of brushed aluminum reverse channel letters that will be directly mounted to the building façade. The letters will be backlit with LED lighting, creating a halo effect.
B. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROPOSED SIGNAGE TO SIGNAGE ON NEARBY PROPERTIES, IN TERMS OF SIZE, LOCATION, MATERIALS, AND COLOR
1. The existing and proposed signs are in proportion with signs in the vicinity.
