RE: Planning Division Comments for BLD-2009-0426 (Edward Jones)
Dear Applicant,
sign313 Main Street #101BD1
Thank you for submitting a building permit application for a permit at in the zone.
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 the Planning Division review can
1
continue. Please provide a written response to the items mentioned below…
1.Height / Illumination / Boxed Cabinet:
Signage downtown is required to meet a number of conditions.
ECDC 20.60.020.M allows internally illuminated signs, so long as the background is opaque (as shown on your
plans, thank you). However, if illuminated, they may be no higher than 14’ (17.75’ shown). They also may not
be located on an awning (so, you couldn’t just simply move it below a bit to meet the height requirement).
Also, according to ECDC 20.60.020.L, “boxed cabinets” are not permitted in the downtown area. One solution
would be to design a flat rectangular wall sign (that is non-illuminated) and propose it in the same location –
this way, you could have maximum visibility because the sign would contrast nicely against the building’s
light-colored wall.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Gina Coccia
