RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK 9 2008-0020
HARBOR INN SIGNS AT 130 WEST DAYTON STREET
Dear Ms. Conner:
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division, and it
was found that the following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be
addressed before review can continue:
_Replacement of Existing Pole Sign: According to Edmonds Community
Development Code (ECDC) 20.60.020, pole signs are not allowed for properties
located Downtown. Therefore, the existing pole sign is considered to be a
nonconforming sign pursuant to ECDC 17.40.040. Based on this section of the
code, the cabinet may be replaced to reflect a change in the name of the business,
but only if the sign is not expanded or extended in any way. The dimensions of the
existing cabinet for the pole sign are provided on two previous permits (BLD -1992-
0184 and BLD -1995-0018) as being 15'0" by 30" (see attached); however, the
proposed dimensions are shown in your application as being 12'33/4" by 4'0%2".
Please modify your plans so that the proposed cabinet replacement does not exceed
the existing dimensions of 15'0" by 30".
2. Internal Illumination: Pursuant to ECDC 20.60.020.M.2, "Internally illuminated
signs in the downtown area ... may only light the letters. The background of a sign
face may not be illuminated." It was noted that the proposed signs are internally
illuminated. Please provide evidence that the proposed illumination will only light
the letters and will not light the background of the sign faces. Additionally, ECDC
20.60.020.M.5 states "Internally illuminated signs in the downtown area shall not
be permitted to be higher than 14 feet in height." Therefore, please provide the
heights of all proposed signs to ensure that they will be less than 14 feet in height.
3. Maximum Size: Pursuant to ECDC 20.60.030.A, the maximum size of the
proposed wall signs is I square foot per lineal foot of attached wall. Therefore,
please provide the length of the three walls where the proposed wall signs are to be
located. Additionally, please provide the square footage of any existing signs on
each of the three walls so that staff can ensure that the proposed signs do not exceed
the maximum allowed size for each wall.
4. Total Allowable Sign Area: Pursuant to ECDC 20.60.025.A.2, "The maximum
total permanent sign area for allowed or permitted uses in the CG zone shall be one
square foot of sign area for each lineal foot of building frontage along a public
street and/or along a side of the building containing the primary public entrance to a
maximum of 200 square feet." Therefore, please provide the length of the building
frontage along the public street and/or along a side of the building containing the
primary public entrance so that staff may calculate the total allowable sign area for
the site. Additionally, please provide the area of all existing signs that are to be
retained.
Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday
through Friday, excluding Wednesdays, between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm. If you have any
questions, feel free to contact me at (425) 771-0220, ext. 1224. I look forward to
working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
