Introduction
This is a summary of review criteria, staff comments and recommendations regarding the proposed wall mounted sign.
This building does not have a sign program, the proposed sign will be considered by the following criteria.
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:
A. Harmonious with Town Scale. Sign location, configuration, design, materials, and colors should be harmonious with the existing materials, and colors should be harmonious with
the existing signs on the structure, with the neighborhood, and with the townscape.
Staff believes that the materials and colors are appropriate. The lettering will be burgundy red with a tan background.
B. Harmonious with Building Scale. The sign should be harmonious with the building scale, and should not visually dominate the structure to which it belongs or calls undue attention
to itself.
Sign dimensions do not exceed code limitations. The total sign area is approximately 16.6 square feet.
Materials. Quality sign materials, including anodized metal; routed or sandblasted wood, such as rough cedar or redwood; interior-lit, individual Plexiglas-faced letters; or three-dimensional
individual letters with or without indirect lighting, are encouraged.
Sign materials, such as printed plywood, interior-lit box-type plastic, and paper or vinyl stick-on window signs are discouraged, but may be approved, however, if determined appropriate
to the location, at the sole discretion of the commission.
The sign will be an aluminum painted sign that will be wall mounted and wall lit.
Architectural Harmony. The sign and its supporting structure should be in harmony architecturally, and in harmony in color with the surrounding structures.
Landscaping. Landscaping is required for all freestanding signs, and should be designed to enhance the signage and surrounding building landscaping. A minimum of five lineal feet out
from and around the perimeter of, the sign shall be landscaped.
Reflective Surfaces. Reflective surfaces are not allowed.
Lighting. Lighting should be of no greater wattage than is necessary to make the sign visible at night, and should not reflect unnecessarily onto adjacent properties. Lighting sources,
except neon tubing, should not be directly visible to passing pedestrians or vehicles, and should be concealed in such a manner that direct light does not shine in a disturbing manner.
Location. On multi-story buildings, individual business signs shall generally be limited to the ground level. (Ord. 86-3 S1(part).
Staff Recommended Motion
I move to approve the proposed sign for Vista Brasserie, Lot 20, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek, dated November 29, 1999 with condition that the lighting will be designed and located
to illuminate only the sign.
