The request includes consideration of Alternative Compliance, which requires both DAB and DRB review. Signage in the Public Right-of-Way is subject to review by the Public Works Department and compliance with the Manual for Uniform Traffic Code Devices, ADA, and City Engineering specifications. I. Findings Article 7: Signs Section 7.1.3 Exemptions (b) Street Address Identification. As required pursuant to Chapter 27 Section 101 of the Burlington Code of Ordinances, numerals that identify the street address of the property so that it can be easily identified from a public thoroughfare by patrons, guests, and emergency responders provided such numerals are a minimum of 3” and maximum of 10-inches in height, and the area of the numerals does not exceed two (2) square feet. In cases where the building is not located within view of the public street, the numerals shall be located on a mailbox or other suitable device such that it is visible from a public thoroughfare. 3 Page 5 of 49 Room identification is provided around the building as window decals to provide locational information to firefighters. Per this standard, the signs are directed at emergency responders, and therefore exempt from the standards of this Article. Affirmative finding for exemption for room identification for emergency responders. The large “52” on the South sign band just barely exceeds the 2 sq. ft. limitation (2.18 sq. ft.) so the additional 20% deviation allowed the DRB would permit this street address signage. [Staff notes that the fire marshal has confirmed the official address for BHS will be 110 Institute Road. The building number may, however, be included within the overall Canopy Sign area, and is therefore compliant under those standards. Affirmative finding. (c) Flags 2. In all other Zoning or Form districts: 1 flag per 25’ of a lot’s road frontage, up to a maximum of 6 flags which may or may not be attached to up to 6 freestanding poles are permitted. Each flag may be up to 24 sq. ft. in area with no single dimension exceeding 6-feet. The height of any freestanding flag pole shall not exceed the highest point of the Principal building on the lot or 50-feet, which is lower, and shall meet the minimum setback requirements per the district-specific dimensional requirements of Article 4 or 14 or 10-feet, whichever is more restrict. Specific height of flag poles and dimensions of the flags have not been provided. The expansive road frontage will allow for the three flags proposed. The dimensional limitations may be Conditions of approval. Affirmative finding as conditioned. (d) Property Management, Information, and Direction Signs. Non-illuminated Signs two (2) square feet or less in size controlling access to a property and/or oriented to and intended primarily for use internal to the property. Examples may include those announcing no trespassing or solicitation; warning or hidden dangers; the private nature of a road or driveway; directional and parking; and regulating fishing or hunting. 5 separate freestanding signs are proposed for informational / directional purposes. While non- illuminated, viewed collectively each sign exceeds the 2 sq. ft. limitation. If reviewed as individual directional stacked sign panels (“Beach; Smoking prohibited; Bus Access Only; Community Gym”) each panel is only 1.75 sq. ft; meeting the 2 sq. ft. limitation. Affirmative finding if DRB concurs that each panel meets the directional sign size limitation. (j) Murals: Non-commercial artistic expression in the form of a unique hand-produced work of visual art which is tiled, painted directly upon, or otherwise affixed or placed directly onto an exterior wall of a building or structure provided that the Mural: 1. Does not contain any advertising copy, symbols, lettering, logos or other such recognized branding related to products or services provided on the premises where the mural is located except where otherwise permitted and incorporated into a permitted Sign Type as provided in Secs. 7.2.2 through 7.2.14 Sign Types; 4 Page 6 of 49 As no image has yet been identified, no Finding is possible. 2. Is placed on a Secondary Frontage or non-street-facing side or rear elevation of a building or structure; As illustrated, the proposed mural location fronts North Avenue, and therefore in conflict with this standard. and, 3. Is not illuminated. No illumination is identified. Adverse finding for mural exemption as proposed on a street-facing elevation. The application may be reviewed under the standards and limitations for a Wall Sign (Section 7.2.13); however the area proposed exceeds both locational allowance (no higher than the floor level of the second story) and the area limitation (2 sf per linear foot of street frontage, or elevation where no street frontage is available associated with a first floor tenant.) In no case may the total area of all Wall Signs exceed the lesser of 200 sq. ft. or fifteen percent of the area of the façade or elevation to which they are attached. Reviewed as a Wall Sign, the proposed mural appears to exceed area and locational standards. Adverse finding. Section 7.1.10 Sign Lighting (i) Electronic Changeable Message: Where permitted as provided in Secs. 7.2.2 through 7.2.14 Sign Types, Electronic Changeable Message displays shall: 5 Page 7 of 49 1. Not have any distracting appearance of motion including but not limited to flashing, blinking, shimmering, animation, video, or scrolling advertising. Application concurs compliance. Affirmative finding. 2. Limit the luminance of the display not to exceed 5,000 nits at any time. The application requests 7,500 nits of illumination. Actual brightness will be controlled by photocell sensor. The applicant offers to ensure that there is no undue glare and that display dims appropriately in lower light conditions. Even with Alternative Compliance, the proposed illumination exceeds allowances of this Section. Adverse finding. 3. Have characters of sufficient size to be easily discerned and must not constitute a safety hazard by distraction of drivers where readily visible to drivers of vehicles on any public way. The application defines display size for up to three rows of up to roughly 10” characters. This creates a viewing distance of 100’ and maximum viewing distance of roughly 350’. The optimal viewing distance aligns to the distance of cars at the stop line northbound on North Ave. The applicant asserts this is on the small side for recommended display size in this context, but adequate. Affirmative finding. 4. Consist only of alphabetic or numeric characters on a plain background, and shall not include any graphic, pictorial, video, or photographic images. BSD requests inclusion of an allowance to use static icons and logos (such as emoji, the Seahorse, or similar) as part of the informational text displays. The intent of the display is to encourage school and civic pride and engagement. Adverse finding for inclusion of graphics or logos, unless considered under Alternative Compliance. 5. Utilize a maximum of only one color for the message on a dark background of only one color. BSD also requests inclusion of an allowance to use display colors in a limited manner (such as depiction of the Seahorse in navy adjacent to white text describing an event). Adverse finding for compliance with standards. May be considered under Alternative Compliance, below. 6. Have a minimum display time of two (2) minutes. When the message changes, it must complete the transition within 1 second or as rapidly as is technologically practicable whichever is less with no phasing, rolling, scrolling, flashing or blending. The applicant requests a minimum display time shall not be less than 15 seconds. Due to the nature of the multiple site occupants and the potential for multiple events, the applicant asserts that the display information cycle within a quicker time period than allowed by the ordinance. Even with a 20% variation offered by Alternative Compliance, minimum message display would need to exceed 1 ½ minutes. Adverse finding for minimum display time. 7. Be equipped with a light detector/photocell that automatically adjusts the display’s brightness according to natural ambient light conditions. Applicant assures compliance with this standard. Affirmative finding. 6 Page 8 of 49  8. Contain a default mechanism that freezes the changeable message in one position, or shuts off the device entirely, in the event of a malfunction. Applicant proposes compliance with this standard. Affirmative finding. 9. Limit the area occupied by the electronic changeable message to no more than 50 percent of the maximum total allowable Sign area as provided in Secs. 7.2.2 through 7.2.14 Sign Types. The electronic changeable message is associated with a Monument Sign (Section 7.2.9) which has a maximum allowable area of 60 sq. ft. 50% of that allowance is 30 Sq. ft. With a display of 3’6” x 6’6”, display is 23.22 sq. ft. Affirmative finding. 10. Be limited to a maximum of three (3) lines of characters including all letters, numbers, spaces, or other symbols dedicated to the electronic changeable message. The application proposes three lines of characters. Affirmative finding. Section 7.1.11: Alternative Compliance Minor variation and relief from any non-numerical standards found in this Article, and any numerical standard by no more than 20% of such requirements, may be granted by the Development Review Board after review and recommendation by the Design Advisory Board and a Public Hearing. Decision by the DRB regarding any Alternative Compliance granted shall be made in writing, and upon affirmative findings that: (a) The relief sought is necessary in order to accommodate a unique circumstance or opportunity; (b) The relief, if granted, will yield a result equal to or better than strict compliance with the standard being relieved; (c) The relief, if granted, is the minimum variation necessary from the applicable standard to achieve the desired result; (d) The relief, if granted, will not impose an undue adverse burden on adjacent properties; and (e) The remainder of the Sign will otherwise be developed consistent with the purpose of this Article, and all other applicable standards. Alternative Compliance is requested for the following deviations from the standards of this part. 1. Inclusion of logos and images on Electronic Display. Discretionary review by DRB. 2. Use of display colors on electronic changeable message board. Discretionary review by DRB. 3. Increase in illumination of electronic changeable message board (5,000 nit limitation, 7,500 requested. > 20% relief allowance.) Adjacent to residential properties on the east and adjacent to a major thoroughfare, heightened illumination and frequently changing messages can introduce nuisance. Adverse finding. 4. Inclusion of Mural on street-facing elevation. Prohibited by Section 7.1.3 (j), Exemptions. 7 Page 9 of 49  When considered as a wall sign proposed area and location are contrary to the standards of Section 7.2.13. While Location is subject to discretionary review under Master Sign Plans (may vary from the locational standareds of Part 2 of this Section), area is strictly upheld by Sign Types (no individual Sign may exceed the maximum area limitations for the Specified Sign Type.). Adverse finding. 5. Area of Monument Sign 60 Sq. Ft. allowed, 72 sq. ft. or specific signage proposed. 50% may be utilized for electronic message sign. Discretionary review by DRB. 6. Height of Monument Sign 6’ ft from finished grade; 9’4” proposed; > 20% relief. Adverse finding. 7. Setback requirements for Monument Sign. Required: 3’ from front property line or in line with the building façade; 5’ from any side property line. Application proposes 56’ from North Avenue and 29’ from Institute Road (somewhat less when measured to property lines, as defined.) This is a very large site with two street frontages, and placement on an increasing grade. Discretionary review is allowed for sign location under Master Sign Plans. Discretionary review by DRB. Part 2: Sign Types Per Table 7.2.1-B, All Sign types proposed are permitted in the Institutional District. Affirmative finding. Section 7.2.2 Awning and Canopy Sign These signs are alternately referred to as Canopy or Band Signs; proposed over the south principal entrance; over the rear (north) entrance, at the entrance to Burlington Technical Center, and at the entrance to the community gym. All four signs comply with the standards of this section for width, height, depth, area and illumination. Affirmative finding. Section 7.2.7 Freestanding Yard Sign (small) The directional signage proposed across the site (for parking, building entrances, prohibitions) collectively exceed the 2 sq. ft. limitation of Directional Sign Exemptions. (Section 7.1.3 (d), above.) As they are fully detached from a building and placed in a yard with external support consisting of 1-2 posts, they may be interpreted as Freestanding Yard Signs. Quantity is limited to 1 per lot. As Freestanding Yard Signs, they exceed the allowable limit. Adverse finding if determined to be a Freestanding Yard Sign (small.) See discussion of alternative interpretation as “panels” that comply with allowed Directional Sign exemption of Section 7.1.3 (d), above. Section 7.2.9 Monument Sign Requirements: Quantity: 1 per primary street frontage Only 1 is proposed. Depth (face-to-face) 2.5’ Compliant at 2’ 1 1/2” Setback (min): • The lesser of 3-ft from the front property line or in line with the building façade. 8 Page 10 of 49  • 5-ft. from any side property line Adverse finding.

Section 7.2.13 Wall Sign See discussion of proposed Mural under “Exemptions”, above. Section 7.2.14 Window Sign Fire department room identifications are exempt per Section 7.1.3 (b), above. Bike vinyl is compliant with the 20% limitation of area of any individual window if double window is considered a single installed unit; and is compliant with 30% limitation of total window area of all windows with signs. Affirmative finding. Part 3: Master Sign Plans Section 7.3.2 Applicability Within any Mixed Use, Enterprise, or Institutional zoning district, all Signs located on a site, building, or a complex of buildings with three or more owners, tenants, or uses located on a single lot or adjacent lots under common ownership may be granted a Master Sign Plan 9 Page 11 of 49 submitted by the building owner and reviewed and approved by the DRB under the provisions of this Part. Signs located on City property erected by or at the direction of the City or any of its departments in the performance of their public duty or responsibility may also seek approval under the provisions of this Part. Where a Master Sign Plan includes sufficient detail regarding the location, type, lighting, and other requirements of r individual Signs, those Signs may be approved as part of the Master Sign Plan without the necessity for an individual permit(s). Otherwise the installation of individual Signs proposed pursuant to, and in compliance with, an approved Master Sign Plan shall receive administrative review and approval pursuant to the procedural requirements of Section 3.2.7. Section 7.3.3 Submission Requirements A Master Sign Plan shall be a comprehensive plan of all planned Signs to be located on the site(s) and on all facades of the building(s) or building complex.

This sign includes fixed le>ering and an Electronic Changeable Message display. See 1, 2, on A940, and 1/A942. The Master Sign Plan replaces all prior approved signs. There are no exis ng signs on this property remaining. (b) Sketch of signs is depicted by A925, A926, A940, A941, A942 drawings, as well as typical product cut sheets for the site Direc onal signs. (c) See part (a) above for sign Types. (d) See A925 for building eleva ons. (e) See A940 for site plan with sign loca ons. (f) The Canopy Signs and Street Address Iden fica on are to be halo lit reverse channels. Diffuse illumina on will exit back of le>ers illumina ng metal panel surface behind the le>ers without spill or glare. The Monument Sign will be downlit on the north and south faces from the top to illuminate the fixed le>ers and suppor ng material. The Monument Sign Electronic Changeable Message is an LED display (self-illumina ng). Page 17 of 49 Master Sign Plan Standards (Sec. 7.3.4) (a) The Master Sign Plan establishes the following standards of consistency: a. Colors – Fabricated signs will use a combina on of White and Navy Blue. Sign colors by type include: i. Canopy Signs and Street Address Iden fica on – Navy Blue face, white returns (to contrast with champagne/silver prefinished metal building fascia). ii. Site Direc onal Signs – White le>ering on Navy Blue. iii. Fire Department Room IDs – White. iv. Monument Sign Le>ering – Navy Blue (to contrast with white/gray stone). b. Le>er/Graphics Style – i. Standard San-Serif fonts Gotham-Medium and GothamNarrow-Medium throughout. See a>ached Canopy and Site Direc onal Sign Submi>als. c. Loca on and Sign Type – i. Loca ons in plan on site as shown on A940. ii. Eleva ons as shown on A926. iii. Fire Department Room IDs will be associated with every space at every level of the building. iv. Proposed sign is just over 25’ from right of way. Due to site placement and scale of the building and property, Master Sign Plan includes a proposed allowance for the le>ering por on of the sign to be as high as 9’-0” above grade. (Monument sign by ordinance standard is required to be set back 3’ from front right of way and establishes a posi on for the sign content between grade and 6’-0” above grade.) v. The proposed mural loca on is on the face of the southeast stair tower. A structural framework is in place to support future art at this loca on. Master Sign Plan includes a proposed allowance for an art piece in the future at this loca on as shown and dimensioned on the building eleva on. This loca on is approximately 320’ setback from the right of way. vi. All other sign types are per standard BCDO requirements. d. Materials – i. Highway and Official Signs – Painted aluminum, typical. ii. Street Address Iden fica on and Canopy Signs – Painted aluminum visible faces, polycarbonate diffuser film back, illumina on from internal white LEDs. iii. Flags – Fabric. iv. Direc onal Signs – Painted aluminum, including posts. v. Fire Department Room IDs – Vinyl. vi. Mural – TBD per ar st selec on at a later date. vii. Monument Sign – Concrete founda on; black concrete base; (below) electronic changeable message display; granite wall; painted aluminum le>ers on stand- offs; white LED downlight strips; painted aluminum cap. e. Maximum Dimension and Propor on – i. Direc onal signs are interpreted as stacked sets at six loca ons with each individual sign being 5” tall and 3’-0” wide. In aggregate some loca ons may be Page 18 of 49  up to 40” tall and 36” wide (currently proposed signs are up to 30” tall and 36” wide. See a>ached draH proposed product informa on. ii. Monument Sign could be interpreted as approximately 72 SF in area (each side) based on total area of electronic changeable message display, fixed le>ers and logo, and visual box containing both. Master Sign Plan includes allowance for using the up to 20% numerical relief iden fied in Sec. 7.1.11 in order to scale the sign appropriately to the site and Civic applica on. Electronic Changeable Message Sign (Sec. 7.1.10(i)) In order to provide an effec ve, fully func onal, and readily visible electronic changeable message sign in alignment BSD, BTC and BHS needs on the site, the following notes and allowances are included in this Master Sign Plan. Each numbered item corresponds to the associated text of Sec on 7.1.10(i): 1. Sign shall not have any distrac ng appearance of mo on including but not limited to flashing, blinking, shimmering, anima on, video, or scrolling adver sing. (BCDO language). 2. Luminance of the display shall not exceed 7,500 nits, an increase over the standard BCDO language). Actual brightness will be controlled by photocell sensor and BSD will work with the City to ensure that there is no undue glare and that display dims appropriately in lower light condi ons. Note that standards range up to 10,000 nits for visibility in intense sunlight condi ons. See also item 7. 3. Display size is selected for up to three rows of up to roughly 10” characters. This creates an op mal viewing distance of 100’ and maximum viewing distance of roughly 350’. The op mal viewing distance aligns to the distance of cars at the stop line northbound on North Ave. This is on the small side for recommended display size in this context, but adequate and selected to fit within other zoning priori es. 4. BDCO requirements prohibit any graphical, pictorial, video, or photographic images. As part of this applica on, BSD requests inclusion of an allowance to use sta c icons and logos (such as emoji, the Seahorse, or similar) as part of the informa onal text displays. The intent of the display is to encourage school and civic pride and engagement, and this is in line with that intent. 5. BDCO requirements prohibit any use of color in the display. As part of this applica on, if the allowance in item 4 is granted, BSD also requests inclusion of an allowance to use display colors in a limited manner (such as depic on of the Seahorse in navy adjacent to white text describing an event). 6. Minimum display me shall not be less than 15 seconds. When the message changes it must complete the transi on as rapidly as technologically prac cable without phasing, rolling, scrolling, flashing or blending. Due to the nature of the mul ple site occupants and the poten al for mul ple events, it is essen al to the purpose of the display that informa on cycle within a quicker me period than allowed by typical BDCO requirements. 7. Be equipped with a light detector/photocell that automa cally adjusts the display’s brightness according to natural ambient light condi ons. (BCDO language). 8. Contain a default mechanism that freezes the changeable message in one posi on, or shuts off the device en rely, in the event of a malfunc on. (BCDO language). 9. Limit the area occupied by the electronic changeable message to no more than (50) percent of the maximum total allowable Sign area as provided in Secs. 7.2.2 through 7.2.14 Sign Page 19 of 49  Types. (BCDO language, display is approximately 22 SF, less than 40% of maximum total allowable Sign area). 10. Be limited to a maximum of three (3) lines of characters including all le>ers, numbers, spaces, or other symbols dedicated to the electronic changeable message. (BCDO language). This Master Sign Plan was ini ally prepared by Brian Leet at Freeman French Freeman and any updates will be maintained by Burlington School District or their designated consultant.
