CASE NO:
Sign Variance for Adams Engineering
PROJECT:
REQUEST: Artografx, on behalf of Adams Engineering, is requesting a variance to the Sign
Ordinance No. 704-C requirements for maximum logo height and letter height for
attached signs. Adams Engineering is located at 910 South Kimball Avenue in the
Champion Crossing development. The applicant is requesting a logo height of 36
inches and a maximum letter height of 21 inches for two signs: one on the south
elevation and one on the east elevation of the building. Under Sign Ordinance No.
704-C, the applicant is allowed a maximum logo height of 17.5 inches and a maximum
letter height of 14 inches on the south elevation. For the east elevation, the applicant
is allowed a maximum logo height of 20 inches and a maximum letter height of 16
inches. The variance to maximum letter height only applies to two letters on the
proposed signs: the “A” and “d” in “Adams Engineering”. All other letters on the signs
comply with the maximum letter height requirements.
Adams Engineering occupies the entire 13,750 square foot building and therefore there
will be no other attached signs on the building.
The specific variances requested are as follows:
Sign Regulation Current Regulation Proposed Sign
Maximum logo height 17.5 inches (south elevation) 36 inches
20 inches (east elevation)
Maximum letter height 14 inches (south elevation) 21 inches
16 inches (east elevation) (for the letters “A” and
“d” only)
