Introduction
August 2, 1996
Wall Sign
Lot 33, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Subdivision - Beck & Associates
Industrial Commercial (IC)
0780 Nottingham Road
The applicants request design approval for a wall sign over the entrance of their business
location. The proposed sign would be an interior lit aluminum cabinet sign with "Plexface"
Plexiglas.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Town of Avon's Sign Code, Section 15.28.070 Design Review Criteria, the
Planning & Zoning Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing proposed
designs:
1. The suitability of the improvement, including materials with which the sign is to be
constructed and the site upon it is to be located.
The interior lit Plexiglas cabinet is an appropriate sign material. The sign's proposed location
would be over the entrance to Beck & Associate's in the west end of the Barshop Building.
The sign's location as viewed from both the site and from Nottingham Road appears suitable
for the business.
2. The nature of adjacent and neighboring improvements.
This business is located in the Metcalf Road Light Industrial District. Adjacent businesses in
the district have similar signage.
3. The quality of the materials to be utilized in any proposed improvement.
The interior lit Plexiglas cabinet is consistent with neighboring business signs and others in
the district and is considered to be a recommended sign type.
4. The visual impact of any proposed improvement, as viewed from any adjacent or
neighboring property.

Lot 32/33, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, Sign Review, page 2
August 6, 1996 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Because the proposed sign is one of the recommended to signage sign types and is found on
this building and throughout the district, there should be minimal visual impact on adjacent
or neighboring properties.
5. The objective that no improvement will be so similar or dissimilar to other signs in the
vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic, will be impaired.
For the aforementioned reasons, this sign should not negatively affect either the monetary or
aesthetic values of other properties in the area.
6. Whether the type, height, size, and/or quality of signs generally complies with the sign
code, and are appropriate for the project.
The maximum possible based on the building's linear frontage is thirty-seven (37) square
feet. The sign will measures approximately twenty (20) square feet, and appears harmonious
with the building's scale and architecture.
7. Whether the sign is primarily oriented to vehicular or pedestrian traffic, and whether
the sign is appropriate for the determined orientation
The sign is primarily oriented to vehicular traffic traveling along Nottingham Road. The
placement, size and colors of the sign all appear appropriate for this orientation.
