The request for a 66% increase, from 118.2 allowable square feet to 195.96 square feet, for the proposed sign on the west facade of the building located at 17400 Southcenter Pkwy is approved. This notice is based on the findings and conclusions below. BACKGROUND Project File Number: L08 -016 Applicant: John Weiss for Neon Systems Type of Permit Applied for: Permanent Sign Permit — Special Permission Sign Project Description: Request for a Special Permission Sign to increase the allowable sign area for one wall sign. Location: . 17400 Southcenter Parkway Comprehensive Plan Designation/Zoning District: TUC SEPA: No determination required Staff: Chris Beale CB Page 1 of 3 03/24/2008 Nntira of Tlnricinn Mirhaalo rloc 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 FINDINGS Vicinity/Site Information The proposed sign will be located on the western face of the wall of the building located at 17400 Southcenter Parkway. The area of the exposed building face (EBF) is 3410 square feet. The setback of the building from the street is approximately 437 feet. Decisional Criteria The required front setback in the TUC is 15 feet. Upon approval as a Type 2 decision, according to TMC 19.32.140 (A), sign area may be increased 50% for each doubling of the required minimum setback up to a maximum of 500 SF or 6% of the total EBF, whichever is less (TMC 19.32.150) Per table 1 of TMC 19.32.140, the standard allowed sign area would normally be 118.2 SF for an EBF of 3410 SF. Since the building setback is 437 feet (29.1 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 204.6 SF. The proposed sign area is 195.96 SF. Conclusions 1. The building setback is a sufficient distance to allow an increase in the area of the wall sign. 2. The proposed sign area takes up 5.7% of the total area of the EBF, which is within the 6% maximum threshold of wall sign area to EBF area as required by TMC 19.32.150.
