Also, some of the <br /> locations may not comply with code. Projecting signs must be located over a sidewalk, some of <br /> the locations shown are not over sidewalks. <br /> 3. Under Awning /Canopy Signs <br /> The premise already utilizes under /awning canopy signs. These signs are better known as <br /> blade signs (See Exhibit 18). The intent of these signs is to assist pedestrians who are on <br /> sidewalks in identifying businesses as they walk. TMC 19.20.050 (F) (1) allows under /awning <br /> canopy signs above public or private sidewalks. The maximum size is three square feet. The <br /> applicant is proposing to utilize the existing sign design, which is two square feet. <br /> 4. Pole Banners <br /> Properties within the TUC may utilize pole banners on light standards within parking lots. These <br /> are permitted outright for any property, regardless if they go through a master sign program. <br /> The purpose of this code provision is to allow color and advertising within often barren parking <br /> lots. The applicant notes that they may wish to use pole banners in the future, but that they <br /> have no specific design at this time. <br /> 5. Directional Signs <br /> The property contains several internal directional signs. Given that these signs are not visible <br /> from the public right of way, they are not subject to the City's sign regulations. <br /> 6. Flag Poles <br /> A premise is permitted to have up to three flag poles. No sign permit is required for the <br /> installation of a flag pole. <br /> Master Sian Permit Criteria <br /> The criteria for reviewing a Master Sign Permit Application is found in TMC 19.32.040. Staff <br /> response is below, the applicant's response to this criteria is found in Exhibit 20. <br /> 1.

The applicant is only requesting three modifications under the master <br /> program, specifically to use two grand monument signs, to increase the width of three <br /> monument signs, and to be eligible to use landmark wall signs for the Kohl's store on the <br /> site. <br /> BM Pawc I I ol' 14 06 14 1 011 3:19:00 PM <br /> C DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS JAIMIE- R,LOCAL SETTINGS TEMPORARY INTERNET <br /> FILES CONTENT.OUTLOOK IYFKCAFDSTAFF REPORT.DOC <br /> 15 <br />
