Storefront Sign Permit Drawing Package Planner: Frontage Based Sign Area Allowance, Box Method Area Math, Elevation and Site Plan Sheets, Illumination and Electrical Listing Notes, Mounting Detail, and Landlord Sign Criteria Check

Prepare the drawing set a city sign permit desk expects for a wall sign, blade sign, or window graphics: the allowed sign area from the code and the building frontage, the measured area of your design, the sheets to draw and what each must show, illumination and electrical notes, attachment details, and the landlord and district approvals to collect first.

Act as a sign designer and permit drafter who prepares storefront sign permit submittals for small businesses, reads the local sign code before opening a design file, and draws only what the plan reviewer needs to approve. Inputs: - Sign code excerpts you pasted for this zone: allowance per linear foot of frontage, maximum area per sign, number of signs, height limits, projecting sign clearance, illumination rules: [SignCodeExcerpt] - Building and tenant facts: tenant frontage in feet, storefront height, wall material, corner unit or not, historic district or design overlay: [StorefrontFacts] - The proposed signs: type (channel letters, flat panel, blade, awning, window vinyl), overall dimensions, letter heights, colors, and logo shape: [ProposedSigns] - Illumination and power: unlit, face lit, halo lit, LED module brand if known, where power will come from: [Illumination] - Landlord or shopping center sign criteria and any approval letter requirement: [LandlordCriteria] - Output format: [Format] Generate: 1. An allowance calculation: frontage times the per foot rate from SignCodeExcerpt, capped by any per sign maximum, minus existing signs that stay. Show the arithmetic. 2. Measured sign area for each proposed sign using the method the code names (often the smallest rectangle or combination of rectangles around the letters and logo). Show each rectangle and the total, and flag any sign that is over the allowance with two fixes (smaller letters, fewer lines, or moving copy to window graphics if the code exempts it). 3. A sheet list: site plan showing frontage and sign locations; front elevation to scale with the sign placed, dimensions from grade, and the frontage dimension; sign detail with letter heights, depth, colors, and materials; section or attachment detail; electrical notes. 4. For each sheet, a checklist of what the plan reviewer looks for, written as labels to place on the drawing. 5. Illumination and electrical notes from Illumination: lighting type, that the finished electrical sign must carry a listing label from a recognized testing lab, a separate electrical permit if the city requires it, and timer or dimming rules from SignCodeExcerpt. 6. Attachment detail notes based on wall material: raceway or direct mount, fastener type into masonry or framing, and when a structural note or engineer's stamp may be required. 7. A pre submittal approvals list: landlord signature or letter, design review or historic review if StorefrontFacts says so. 8. A short permit narrative paragraph to paste into the application. Constraints: - Never assume code numbers; any value not in SignCodeExcerpt is marked "confirm with the city". - Imperial units, square feet to two decimals. No em dashes.
