Chris,
I hope your holidays were good as well! In regards to the signage you are correct that the permit will look at the specific
signage design. As far as location, attached signage it is really up to the owner where it is placed. This case was special
in that there will be signage placed on the upper wall. In this case, having signage placed on that wall will be
permitted. The NRA approval does not lock in that location. Meaning that if the owner wanted to change location of
signage, revisions to the plans would not be needed.
Let me know if you have any other questions,

Jessica, I hope you had a good holiday.
I have one more fo llowup question so I can clarify for the building owner:
It is my understanding that the Planning Review I NRA approval means the design meets the AR requirements
and approves the locations of signage shown on the elevations.
For the future signage permits (the separate permits you note below), these permits will be fo r specific signage
design (size, sign construction, illumination, color, etc) for each sign location that has already been approved by
the NRA review.

Is my understanding correct?

Chris,
I took a look at what you sent today and I will honor the communication with
Morgan. The only revision I ask is that you include the note all sheets that all signage
will be permitted separately. Please submit 2 sets of the NRA documents for
stamping. One will be returned to you. If you would like more copies feel free to
submit additional copies for stamping.

Jessica,
Thank you for the phone visit this morning to clarify the Planning Review
comments for Jones Law Firm Office (14-00900286).
Back in April I May of this year I was communicating with Morgan Hester.
Morgan reviewed our conceptual design work and I asked for her input regarding
compliance with AR requirements, signage, etc. The future owner wanted to
confirm that we could get to something that met their goals before purchasing the
lot. I have attached the referenced exhibit to this email.
The design has been refined since the conceptual design, and the position of some
elements adjusted, but we tried to stay reasonably faithful to the concept. The
primary wall material did change from stone to brick.
Please review this information. I am available for a phone visit at your earliest
convemence.
My office number is below, my cell is 512-289-1502.
Best,
Chris

Chris,
You are correct on all counts! Thank you for double
checking.
I've talked with my supervisor about your project and
depending on the timing, I MIGHT be the one to review, but
if not, I will be working closely with whichever planner is
assigned to review.
Thank you!

Morgan,
Thank you for your email, and our phone visit last week.
Following our phone call, these are my understandings:
1. The lot is internal to the overall development, and NO portion
of the lot faces the ROW. Therefore the linear footage that the
number of architectural features is calculated on is 60 feet, not 45
feet.
2. The number of architectural features shown on each elevation
(see attachment) appear to satisfy the minimum requirements.
So, this Conceptual Design does not appear to have any major
flaws regarding architectural features, massing, etc. The illustration
contains materials, however these are very preliminary, and likely
to change. If my client decides to move forward with the lot
purchase and design, I will update you as the elevations and
material choices are refined to confirm compliance with the NRA
Standards.
I have marked up the attached PDF to clarify and document the
concept design we discussed. Thanks for your time.
Best,
Chris

Good afternoon, Chris!
I was able to download the file -thank you for checking on
that. I'm in and out of my office all day for meetings, so I
apologize for not being able to call you back!

In response to your questions:
Signs
o The taller sign (Chad Jones) would be
considered attached signage.
o You are correct, attached signage is based on
the linear footage of the primary entry frn;ade
x 2.5. This area can be divided up however
desired. We have many businesses that take
the total square footage and divide it up into
multiple signs on different wall planes.
NRA (Non-Residential Architectural) Standards
o Per the UDO, there is a requirement for each
frn;ade to provide at least 2 architectural
features every 45' if facing the ROW and every
60' for all others. In this case, the 2 features
every 60' will apply. Because this is not scaled,
I was not able to check to see if this was met
for each fac;ade, but I have provided some
comments to what I was able to review.
•View A
• Features that will apply for
satisfying this requirement include
the recessed wall p lanes and
pilasters.
• Additional features will need to
be provided. This could be
something as simple as pilasters
adhered to the wall face or
canopies over the windows.
•View B
• The same comments as above
apply.
• Keep in mind that the gutters (I
think those are gutters?) will not
apply as architectural features.
• ViewC
• The recession and awning over
the door will count for 2
•View D
features. Keep in mind that 2
different features will need to be
provided every 60' feet. If the
length of the fac;ade does not
hit 120' (meaning not another full
60'), then 2 features will be
sufficient. This goes for all
facades.
• Same comments as above.
I hope all of that makes sense! I will call you tomorrow to
discuss. I really like the style of the building!

' .
Of course, parking will need to be accommodated on site (if
all necessary parking cannot be contained within the
property, there are other options) and landscaping
requirements will have to be met.
Thank you for sending this over for a quick look over!

Subject: Conceptual Design for North Forest Office Park -Lot 1E-R2
Morgan,
Thank you for your time on the phone last week to answer my
question about roof requirements in the College Station
Development Ordinance. We have completed a Conceptual Design
for a potential new office building at North Forrest Professional
Park, Lot 1E-R2.
I'd appreciate your feedback of the Conceptual Design Set, dated
05 .09.2014. Below is a summary of my presentation to my client.
At the end of this email, I've included several initial questions I
like your guidance on.
Here is a link to download the
document: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yceigitnn908pdr/14012%2
0Chad%20J ones%20Law%200ffice%20Conceptual %20Design%

Overall Goals:
Professional office w/ potential shell tenant space I future office
growth
Create presence for the building I visibility as lot is at back of
property. Create signage opportunity in an integrated way.
7
Provide daylighting to law office interior.
Allow for collaboration in office environment, legal staff do
some private work I some collaborative work.
Building Plan:
Single story, approximately 5500 -5,800 sf.
(The 3 attorney's offices and business offices are
shown a little too small. The back wall of the offices will move
back several feet to provide the space programmed. The final size
as proposed is closer to the 5,800 sf end of the range.)
2 distinct portions, designed can be merged into 1 office in
future.
Law office zones
Public -facing street
Staff -central and rear
Central work area has clerestory above for light and
unifies the high wall element.
Central work area walls are not full-height -5' or
6' -allow light in, provides privacy, allows some collaboration
Common table in middle (standing height
recommended)
Common -rear
Break Room &Patio connected to allow space to be
used together, and patio to be close to kitchen
Shell medical proportioned to contain 6-7 exam rooms, 2 or 1
dr offices (see sample plan)
Parking need is 24 spaces (28 spaces if all medical)
Exterior -A:
Tall wall with signage -wraps into law firm entry
Left -office
conference rooms at front
staff work area in center I under clerestory
Medical to right w/ own entrance
Exterior materials: stone, stucco, wood siding (note: all material
selections are preliminary)
Exterior -B:
This side -tall wall w/ sign to get above plastic surgery
building
Windows along side of medical space are optional -can be
upper window with area below designed for future lower window.
Exterior -C:
Exterior wall folds down on this side to become patio roof
Patio structure uses closely spaced small columns to screen
view of backside of neighbor.
Window as back of medical side are optional, can be set up for
future windows (same as the side).
8
. '
4 r f t
Exterior -D:
Attorney's offices
Workroom
Backside of clerestory
Potential Value Engineering I Cost Reduction:
Limit clerestory glass to street side
Eliminate side I rear windows in shell medical
Use stucco I wood on sides I rear (reduce masonry)
City of College Station Preliminary Review Questions:
1. Sign locations -due to position on property, signage
directly over front of building provides no real visibility for
Client. Proposed signage includes:
1. Major "Chad Jones Law" sign on north side of
lobby wall. Intention is to make visible to
southbound traffic on Earl Rudder.
2. Future tenant signage "Signage" over shell space.
3. CJL logo I limited signage on south side of entry
wall (visibility for traffic coming from south side of
internal parking lot.
2. Confirm signage Limit: 2.5 sf x linear foot of entry.
3. Any other issues or concerns identified during review?
Thanks for your time!
