UNIVERSITY STYLE SHOP (SIGN) (03 -215)
Zoning District: NG -1, Historic Northgate
Location: 215 University Drive
Applicant: Tracy Krause
Item Summary: The applicant is requesting permission to replace the existing
attached sign face, measuring 40 square feet, with a new wooden face of the same
size. The proposed sign measures 2' X 20' and will be maroon and white.
With the addition of the new sign, the property will exceed the allowed square footage
of attached signage, and the banner reading "Now Open" must be removed.
Item Background: The "Northgate Design Guidelines" provide guidance on the
placement and design of signs as follows:
1. Signs should relate in placement and size to other building elements.
2. Signs should not obscure other building elements such as windows, cornices, or
decorative details.
3. Sign material, style, and color should compliment the building facade.
4. Individual shop signs in a single storefront should relate to each other in design,
size, color, placement on the building, and lettering style.
5. Wood or metal is recommended.
6. Illuminated plastic signs are strongly discouraged.
7. Letters exceeding 14" in height are discouraged in pedestrian- oriented areas.
