Project type Sign Program Modification
Project Name Centennial Center
Legal description Lot 31, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision
Zoning Industrial Commercial
Introduction
The applicant wants to modify the Centennial Center's approved Master Sign Program (the
project is not yet constructed) by relocating the professional service signs from the southeast
corner of the building to the backlit awnings above the first floor windows. Each awning section
will contain one singage panel of the following sizes:
• one panel, 1°-0' x 6'-0" = 6 s.f. (Sign Type "C")
• one panel, 1°-0°° x 18°-0" = 18 s. f. (Sign Type "D")
• two panel, l' -O" x 12°-0" = 24 s.f. (Sing Type "E" & "F")
All other components of the original Sign Program remain unchanged.
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.
Moving the professional service signs to the building's awnings appears suitable in terms of
both proposed materials and location. The white lettering on the Hunter Green awnings is
retained as originally approved as part of the building's June 6, 1995 Final Design approval.
Fluorescent tubes would be used to provide backlighting. The awnings provide a suitable
material and location for this proposed signage.
2. The nature of adjacent and neighboring improvements.
Examples of awning signage on neighboring businesses and throughout the town appear to
provide effective, attractive signage.
3. The quality of the materials to be utilized in any proposed improvement.
The awnings appear to provide a suitable, quality material for the proposed signage.
