As proposed, the replacement of the two existing pin-mounted ‘A.G. Edwards’ signs with internally illuminated ‘Wachovia’ cabinet signs cannot be approved. Internally illuminated signs in the Downtown area must meet specific conditions found in Section 20.60.020.M of the Edmonds Community Development Code. Most importantly, internally illuminated cabinet signs may only light the letters, not the background of the sign face (20.60.020.M.2). In each case, it appears that the internal illumination would light the entire sign face. As an alternative, replacing the existing ‘A.G. Edwards’ signs with ‘Wachovia’ signs of like construction could be approved. Otherwise, please indicate how the proposed cabinet signs meet the identified code requirements. If you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience. The Edmonds Community Development Code is available through the following link: http://www.mrsc.org/codes.aspx?r=1. Scroll down to Edmonds Code and click through to Chapter 20.60 – Signs. Sincerely, Mike Clugston, AICP Planner
