ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting to replace and add new attached buildinc
signage to meet the franchise brand changes. A sign package was presented and
approved by the Design Review Board in 1999, when the site was converted to the now
Rudy's BBQ. Revisions were later made to an attached sign, which was presented and
approved in 2000.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The applicant has proposed a new sign package that consists
of three building signs. All attached signs will utilize red and black colors. The proposed
cabinet sign facing Harvey Road (Sign A) will be similar in size and color to the existing,
with a change in wording to "Country Store" and red neon lighting outlining the sign. A
ribbon sign (Signs B) is proposed to be located along the primary entry fagade and an
aluminum sign (Sign C) is proposed to replace an existing attached sign.
Proposed building attached signage is 98.91 square feet facing Harvey Road and 38.16
square feet on the East fagade. All proposed signs meet the requirements of the
Unified Development Ordinance Section 7.5, Signs related to allowable sign area.
All signs reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board will require the submittal
of a sign permit application to the Planning & Development Service Department to the
an approved building permit prior to installation of any sign.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed sign, with the exception of the ribbon sign
(Sign B). In Staff's opinion, the proposed ribbon sign is not consistent with the Wolf Pen
Creek design criteria; the scale and proportion of the sign is not compatible with the
design of other proposed signs and its relationship with the building.
