Sign A Per table 1 of TMC 19.32.140, the standard allowed sign area for the 3300 sq. ft. north facade is 116 sq. ft. Since the building setback is 315 feet (21 times the minimum setback required within the TUC zone), this application qualifies for review as a Type 2 decision. Six percent of the EBF for this building is 198 sq. ft. The proposed sign area for Sign A is 165 sq. ft. Sign B Per table 1 of TMC 19.32.140, the standard allowed sign area for the 1826 sq. ft. east facade is 74.78 sq. ft. Since the building setback is 85 feet (5 times the minimum setback required within the TUC zone), this application also qualifies for review as a Type 2 decision. Six percent of the EBF for this building is 109.56 sq. ft. The proposed sign area for Sign B is 96.75 sq. ft. Conclusions 1. The building is setback a sufficient distance from both the north and east property lines to allow an increase in the area of both of the proposed wall signS 2. Neither of the two proposed signs exceeds the 6% maximum threshold of wall sign area to EBF ratio as required by TMC 19.32.150. II.
