Signs The sign ordinance allows one pylon sign per street frontage, up to 200 square feet, with 25% of the sign designated for the Center name. The applicants are proposing two pylon signs with a sign face of 285 square feet plus the center name, which is approximately 35 square feet in area. On the retail buildings wall signs are proposed over each tenant space and on the rear of the buildings. Staff does not support signs on the rear of the building unless it is incorporated into some enhanced design. The Target facility proposes a number of signs on three sides of the building. There is no signage proposed on the rear of Target. The total square footages allowed are based on the wall area; up to 20% of the wall area or 100 square feet whichever is less. In this case, the wall areas are very large and 100 square feet is not adequate area for signage. The front of the building is approximately 9836 sq. ft. in area, which allows up to 1967 sq. ft. of signage. Target is proposed to have a total of 1320 square feet of signage on the front elevation, which is within the 20% allowed.
