In this meeting the Board approved your signs,including materials and colors,based on your verbal intent to comply with the square footage limitations established for attached signs in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). As you know,the staff report submitted to the DRB suggested you maintain Signs 1, 3, and 4 as referenced in your submittal package. You may,however, maintain any combination of signs attached to the building, not including Sign 7, not to exceed a total of 42.5 square feet. Sign 7 covers more that 33% of the window area. Signs contributing to the excessive square footage must be removed. Also,as indicated in the staff report to the DRB,the benches may remain,but the bench signs are not allowed as they are deemed freestanding signs,and must be removed to comply with Section 7.4.Signs of the UDO. To obtain full compliance with the UDO,a Sign Permit Application (enclosed) must be completed together with the minimum submittal requirements that are listed on the application. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter and should you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Jennifer Reeves or me at 764- 3570.

An inspection this morning revealed that the premises has not come into compliance with the sign package approved by the DRB. Although some of the prohibited signs have been removed, too much signage exists and no sign permit has been obtained through this department. The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) allows 42.5 square feet of attached signs for this address. Per your Sign Review Application prepared for the DRB, you requested 105.3 square feet. Currently, 71.4 square feet of attached signage exists. To obtain compliance, you must remove 28.9 square feet of attached signs and obtain a permit. Upon inspection this morning, staff also noted that two additional fluorescent lighting fixtures have been installed. Per Sec. 7.10 of the UDO: "The light source shall not project below an opaque housing. No fixture shall directly project light horizontally." Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter and should you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at 764-3570.

As you may recall, the signs for your business were approved by the Design Review Board in April 2005. Subsequent to that approval the signs not approved were removed and the lighting above the door was shielded. Recently, amendments to Section 5.6 Design Districts were approved by the City Council affecting Northgate. Section 5.6.B.3.f addresses exterior building colors (enclosed). Part 2 of this section states that "all building facades shall consist of only colors from the color palette maintained in the Office of the Administrator. All other colors shall be considered accent colors and may be used on no more than 10 percent of each façade. No more than two accent colors may be used on each façade." In order to obtain compliance, you must select a color from the approved color palette and reduce the proportion of accent colors used. Should you have any questions, please contact Molly Hitchcock, Planning Administrator at 764-3570.
