Site Plan
Show property lines, building footprint, proposed sign location, distances to lot lines and adjacent signs, and a north arrow so zoning reviewers can confirm setbacks and visibility requirements.
A consistent template reduces back-and-forth with the permitting authority by collecting required technical details up front and highlighting compliance items (setbacks, height, illumination, ADA). It supports clearer reviews and faster internal coordination among contractors, architects, and owners.
Use the right stakeholder list on the form so each party signs, dates, and certifies the information they are responsible for.
Show property lines, building footprint, proposed sign location, distances to lot lines and adjacent signs, and a north arrow so zoning reviewers can confirm setbacks and visibility requirements.
Provide scaled building elevations showing the sign on the façade with dimensions, mounting height above finished grade, and relation to windows, doors, and architectural features for visual and structural review.
Include scaled detail drawings of sign construction, materials, fasteners, anchorage, and connections so building officials and engineers can assess structural adequacy and weather resistance.
Document electrical supply, conduit routing, transformer location, lumen output, shielding, and cut-off diagrams for illuminated signs to ensure compliance with electrical and lighting ordinances.
List exact sign dimensions, area calculations, material specifications, finish treatments, and fire-rating information to confirm code limits and material compatibility.
Add a checklist addressing zoning district restrictions, maximum sign area, height limits, permitted sign types, illumination rules, and accessibility considerations to simplify reviewer verification.
