The applicant seeks approval to change signage from National City Bank to PNC Bank: 1 ground, 1 wall
and 3 directional signs. The site is located at 2274 E. 116 St. and is zoned B -8 /Business in the Merchants'
Square shopping center. Filed by Kyle Freeman of Freeman Signs.
The applicant is requesting approval for a new wall sign and new panels for an existing ground sign. National City
Bank is changing to PNC Bank and the new signage will reflect this change. The wall sign will be installed in the
same location as the existing sign, on the north. It is 26.12 sq. ft. and permitted by the Sign Ordinance. It will be
internally illuminated. The logo is orange and white and the letters are two shades of blue.
The ground sign faces 116 St. and is 8.26 sq. ft. The background of the panel will be an opaque blue. The logo and
letters will only shine through colored: orange and white logo, white and blue letters. There is a second panel at the
bottom of the sign it will be the opaque blue to match the upper panel.
There will also be new directional signs to reflect PNC's corporate colors. They will be installed in the same
locations as the existing signs and will be non illuminated. They will be less than 3 sq. ft. in area and 3' tall. This
size is allowed by the Sign Ordinance.
Lastly, there will be change outs of other signs, i.e. handicapped parking signs, warning signs, clearance signs and
bank hours. These signs are all less than 3 sq. ft. in area and are necessary for patron information and public safety.
No sign permits or approvals are required for these signs.

all comments /concerns are addressed. (This item only requires a Plan Commission Committee vote.)
