3) DRB No. 3191
Building Trade Federal Credit Union • Signage
1918 W. Chapman Ave. • Review of signage plans
Coast Sign (Bill Clarke) C-2 (General Business) District
The project was presented by Bill Clarke. The proposal includes removal of the existing freestanding
sign and replace with a new one, and installation of a new wall sign along the front (north) building
elevation.
The board expressed concerns as follows:
The wall sign is mounted on a raceway. Is this allowed by code?
The wall sign is located too close to the existing address numbers on the building.
The ATM network logos (Star System, Plus, etc.) seem to clutter-up the freestanding sign.
Mr. Clarke explained that a raceway is used for the wall sign because it may be structurally impossible to
install the letters individually. The entire wall sign can be shifted over so that it does not interfere with
the building address numbers.
MOTION by Steven Prothero to approve the signage plans subject to the following conditions:
The wall sign lettering shall be installed individually without the raceway. The electrical access
panel shall be located on the interior of the building.
The building address numbers on the north elevation shall be deleted so that it does not interfere with
the new wall sign. (Must obtain Fire and Police Department approved)
Freestanding sign -Delete the ATM network logos and replace with the letters "ATM" between the
directional arrows.
