Statement of Intent
The intent of this Comprehensive Sign Plan is to provide consistency and proportional guidance for all the signs designed, constructed, and placed at Lakeview at University Center. Lakeview at University Center consists of parcels E and F of University Cen-ter (the “Property”, “Lakeview at University Center”, or “the Center”) as shown on page 8. These guidelines clearly set out the center’s expectations for quality business signage. The overall objective is to ensure that the intent and spirit of the guidelines are followed.
The scale of the signs should be ap-propriate for the building on which they are placed and the area where they are located. Where signs are associ-ated with a build-ing, the size, shape, and location of the signs should be pro-portional with the scale of the building. The definitions and terms used are per Loudoun County 1972 & 1993 Zoning Ordinances or gen-erally accepted terms of the development community in the Washington Metropolitan region. All the signs, graphics, and lettering are subject to approval by developer and the University Center De-sign Review Committee.
In the event that a required sign is not specifically addressed by this Comprehensive Sign Plan, such sign shall conform with the Loudoun County 1972 Zoning Ordinance
