Overall Framework - Signage <br />Overview <br />Signage within The COR should provide a system for clear wayfinding for all modes of transportation and <br />should ensure successful business operation while maintaining the design aesthetic of this unique <br />project. These sign standards are intended to allow flexibility and creativity while maintaining the <br />design concepts of The COR. Due to the distinctive nature of The COR, the sign standards from the City <br />Code are not applicable and signage shall be allowed as prescribed by the Design Framework. A Master <br />Sign Plan identifies the location of key sign locations (see Figure 6: Signage Plan). <br />Guideline Recommendations <br />The COR development manager shall prepare a Master Sign Plan for the public elements of the project, <br />which are in compliance with the design framework and will be adopted by <br />reference. The Master Sign Plan will specifically address public signs including: <br />• The three (3) off -site community signs <br />• Banner signs on light poles <br />• Signage for public parks <br />• Signage for public parking ramps <br />• Signage for public buildings <br />• Community kiosks <br />Objectives <br />Signage should be used as a tool to help identify businesses and neighborhoods with The COR and <br />should have elements that are focused on the pedestrian nature of The COR as well as the signage needs <br />for businesses. <br />• Signage and lighting which is integrated into the design of the building is encouraged. <br />Definitions <br />Awning Sign means a sign incorporated into or attached to an awning. <br />Community sign means an off -site sign identifying the development name and key tenants. Community <br />signs may also include public information. Reader boards are allowed to be incorporated into <br />community signs within The COR. <br />Temporary Sign means a sign which is erected or displayed for a limited period of time and not affixed to <br />a Minnesota State Building Code approved structure. <br />Project sign means a freestanding area identification sign which identifies a single-family or multifamily <br />residential subdivision, a commercial development or an industrial park or office park and which is <br />located on the same parcel as the development it identifies. <br />Projecting sign means any sign, all or any part of which extends beyond the surface of the building or <br />wall by more than 16 inches. <br />Design Framework — The COR Page 29 <br />February 28, 2012 <br />
