RE: Langer Building Signage
B LD2024-0979
Location: 21600 Highway 99, Edmonds, WA 98026
We kindly request that the design review of this sign permit be referred to the Architectural Design Board in time
for their meeting on Thursday, October 24tn
This sign permit is being submitted on behalf of the Verdant Health Commission for a medical building renovation
project that houses an Urgent Care facility at the corner of Highway 99 and 216tn St. SW. Verdant is trying to remedy
a chronic problem faced by its patrons who, during a medical emergency, are having a very difficult time identifying
and locating the urgent care facility within this property.
The sign code 20.60.045 (E) and 20.60.045 (F) allows either one sign at the corner of two public streets or one sign
for each frontage. We are requesting that the Architectural Design Board modify this requirement to allow for three
free-standing signs at this property. Verdant, myself, and their design team, JPC Architects, has determined that a
sign at the corner of Highway 99 and 216tn St. SW, as well as at each driveway entrance on Highway 99 and 216tn St.
SW, is critical for directing patrons in to the facility. Since most visitors will be directed to the corner of Highway 99
and 216tn St. SW, having a sign here is our first opportunity to grab their attention and give them confirmation they
are near their destination. Having a sign at the driveway entrance on 216tn St. SW is equally important because the
Swedish Medical Facility is located further down 216tn St. SW and it is imperative we have a sign that directs people
off of 216tn St. SW in to our parking lot.
The sign code 20.60.015 (B-1 a) allows the board to consider our request due to the unique configuration of the
property, and sign code 20.60.015 (B-2b) would allow the board to increase the allowable sign quantity by 50% from
2 to 3. In the interest of public safety, we strongly encourage you to approve this modification.
Sincerely,
V
