The sign being proposed will be located on the east wall of 17145 Southcenter Pkwy and will face
directly towards Southcenter Pkwy. The zoning on the property is TUC and surrounding land uses are
commercial. The exposed building face (EBF) is 408 square feet. With the approval of the Special
Permission Application, the wall sign would be 24 square feet (5.88% of EBF) versus the normal
maximum of 20.4 square feet (5.0% of EBF).

TMC 19.32.140(A) allows permitted sign area to be increased by 50% for each doubling of the required
minimum setback...but in no case shall the sign area exceed that permitted in TMC 19.32.150. Pursuant
to TMC 19.32.150, the maximum allowed sign area could be 6% of the exposed building face (EBF) up
to maximum of 500 sq. ft.
The required front setback in the TUC is 15 feet. The building has a setback of over 30 feet, two times
the required distance.
Per Table 1 of TMC 19.32.140, the standard allowed sign area would normally be 20.4- sq. ft. for an EBF
of 408 square feet. Since the building is setback two times the minimum setback required for the
underlying zone, the maximum sign area is allowed to be increased 50% for each doubling of the
required minimum setback up to 6% of EBF or 500 sq. ft., whichever is less. Six percent of EBF (408 -sq.
ft.) is 24.48 -sq. ft; thus the maximum allowed sign area on facade is 24.48 -sq. ft. The applicant is
requesting a sign size that is smaller than the six- percent allowed for the wall.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The building is setback a sufficient distance to allow an increase in the wall sign area.
.2 The proposed sign area is 24.00 -sq. ft., which is less than maximum permitted for that facade (6% of
EBF -24.48 sq. ft.).
