We want to illuminate (1) blade, (1) awning, & (1) hanging sign in order to provide adequate readable signage during the day and at night for the 21 Rio Apartment complex in a "LO-NP, MF-4-NP”, Neighborhood Plan zoning district. C-1/2 Section 2: Variance Findings Please refer to powerpoint presentation for more detailed info. Currenntly 21 RIO is surrounded by illuminated signage that appears to have been granted thru the variance process. It also appears the planning and development team has submitted a request that code be changed to allow for lit signs. It's just not apparent when this may happen. 21 Rio is very dark at night and Many of the neighboring properties have internally illuminated signage. Also, the type of illumination we are proposing is a low imapct halo-lit type sign illumination. We are not requesting any additional deviations from the sign code (ig. Sign projection, quantity and sign area are all in compliance). The reverse lit illumination is a low impact type of light, but will substantially improve the ability of the apartment complex to be found and recognized. —OR— —OR— AND, Allowing illuminated signage for 21 RIO would provide commensurate readability and recognition as surrounding properties with lit signs. We are not asking for larger or more signage than allowed by code.
