Decisional Criteria
•
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 side setback in the TUC is 10 feet. The building has a setback at least 40 feet from the side
property line, 2.5 times the required distance.
Per Table 1 of TMC 19.32.140, the standard allowed sign area would normally be 41.9- sq. ft. for an EBF
of 922 square feet. Since the building is setback 2.5 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 (922 -sq. ft.) is
55.32 -sq. ft; thus the maximum allowed sign area on facade is 55.32 sq ft.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The building is setback a sufficient distance to allow an increase in the wall sign area.
2. The proposed sign area is 49.7 sq ft which is 5.3 percent of the exposed wall area.
