Jade Palace Sign
On behalf of the Planning Division, I have reviewed the above sign application. During review of the
subject submittal, it was found that the following information, corrections, or clarifications need to be
addressed. Please respond to the following items, so that I can complete my review:
Sign Illumination:
1. The property where for this sign proposal is located within the Downtown
Activity Center as defined in the City of Edmonds comprehensive plan. Illuminated signs within the
Downtown area are subject to special conditions listed in ECDC 20.60.020.M. Pursuant to
ECDC 20.60.020.M.2, internally illuminated signs in the downtown area may only light the letters
and the background of a sign may not be illuminated. The white background of the “Chinese
Restaurant” and the Chinese characters portion of the sign must be opaque and not allow any internal
illumination to shine through so only the letters and Chinese characters are illuminated. Similarly, the
red background on the pagoda portion of the sign must be opaque so only the pagoda is illuminated.
Height:
2. Pursuant to ECDC 20.60.020.M.5, internally illuminated signs in the downtown area shall
not be permitted to be higher than 14ft. Please indicate the height to the top of the sign on the plans.
Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday, 8:00
am 4:30 pm. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 425.771.0220 ext 1223.
