Development Coordinator Jessica Jimmerson, Staff Planner Shauna Laauwe, Staff Planner Tammy Macik, Secretary 00-1'10 SUBJECT: Holiday Inn Express Hotel -proposal to change the color of a portion of the The PRC held a meeting on Wednesday, September 13, 2000 to review the above- mentioned project. The PRC discussed the proposed color change to the front and back portion of the building, as well as the existing sign ordinance requiring signs to include one of the predominate colors of the building. The building is a cream color, and the proposed sign does not include a cream color; it includes blue, yellow, orange, and white. Although the sign has four colors and the ordinance allows only three, the current city policy is that "white" is not a color unless the predominate color of the building is white. The applicant proposed to add the Sedona Clay color in order to meet the sign ordinance requirement, but stated they would rather leave the building as it is currently. When asked about why they did not change their sign colors, Parvis stated that the sign is a nationally recognized sign with its logo colors and would rather change the color of the building, than request a variance for the sign. After further discussion regarding the proposed Sedona Clay color, the PRC determined that painting the building with the orange color would detract from its current attractiveness. The PRC also determined that the building was really painted a neutral color and therefore did not have a predominate color that should be included in the sign. Commissioner Horlen motioned to not paint the front and back portion of the building with the Sedona Clay color. He also reiterated that the white in the sign is a non-color and that would make the sign have only three colors. Commissioner Happ seconded the motion, which passed 3-0.

University Drive, is within the C-B Business Commercial Corridor Overlay District. Section 8.19, which details additional requirements for sites located in the overlay district, gives the Project Review Committee (P.R.C.) authority over building aesthetics. Paragraph D states: "Building colors shall be harmonious with the existing man- made or natural environment, and only compatible accent colors shall be used. All colors shall be approved by the Project Review Committee." Item Background: This item is before you due to the applicant having difficulty in meeting the overlay district's sign requirements. Paragraph E states that "Signs shall include no more than three colors and two lettering styles. At least one of the colors must match the predominant colors of the building." Holiday Inn Express proposes a freestanding sign with the colors of blue, orange, yellow and white. Staff and PRC's policy in the past has been to consider white as a color only if it is being used to meet the criteria of a predominant color. The existing predominant color of the building has been determined to be off-white/cream. Instead of incorporating one of these colors into the sign or removing either the blue, orange or yellow, the applicant is proposing to add the sedona clay color to the face and to the rear of the building. Decision Points: Is sedona clay, the proposed color, 1. Harmonious with the existing man-made or natural environment and compatible with the accent colors of the building; 2. A matching color to the proposed freestanding signage? 9/12/00 ' - 10" SW. PIPE SEC MOD 25 12 CTR. 4" 5Tl.Jl3 PIPE IN TOP SIGN FOUNOA110N 2' X 10'8 W11'H W.
