TENANT BUILDING SIGNAGE
Overall Standards
• On-site signs shall not exceed two (2) square feet in any area for each
 
linear foot of business frontage. 
• If designated as a wall sign, it shall not project more than two (2) feet from  
 
the building, or structure to which it is attached.
• No attached sign shall exceed two hundred fifty (250) square feet in area.
• All designs and layouts must meet the intent of this criteria per the user   
 
type’s sections that follow. Unique approaches, creative designs, forms,   
 
and the use of “custom” wall units are highly encouraged to create an  
 
 
“urban sense.” Unless part of a nationally registered and/or trademarked   
 
logo, rectangular shaped units should be avoided unless integral to the  
 
 
graphic identity.
• All tenants within the commercial element of the site shall be permitted to  
 
utilize their standard corporate identification programs, subject to sign  
 
 
area limitation.
• The Owner/Manager Association reserve the right to combine, split or  
 
 
extend envelopes behind the tenant’s frontage, to accommodate 
 
unforeseen signage configurations. All such modifications will require  
 
 
staff approval from the City of Chandler.
Signage Types
• All building signage shall be halo-illuminated reverse pan channel   
 
characters and logos, non-illuminated reverse pan channel   
 
 
characters and logos, or face-illuminated pan channel characters   
 
and logos. Non-Illuminated flat cut out characters may also be used for   
 
secondary lettering.
• Signs shall be wall or window mounted, on or under an architectural  
 
 
projection.  
• No tenant will be allowed more than one wall mounted sign per elevation.
• All building mounted signage is to be designed to keep the building   
 
fascias and finishes in like-new quality, keeping penetrations into   
 
the high end finishes for mounting and illumination to a minimum.
• When mounted on a building, the sign shall be located on or below the  
 
 
fascia or parapet wall of the primary building.
Design - Colors and Typography
• Colors shall be per the Tenant’s corporate standards with the exception  
 
that no fluorescent colors will be allowed, other than for accent. 
 
Retainers for pan channels should match letter face color to create a  
 
 
more sophisticated design. For National Tenants, returns and retainers  
 
 
may be per corporate standards with Owner/Landlord or their Agent’s  
 
 
approval.
• Typeface, marks/icons and logos may be utilized, subject to the approval   
 
of Owner/Landlord or their Agent’s prior to submittal for permitting   
 
through the City of Chandler.
All Signs must be pre-approved by the Building Owner/Association prior to 
applying for a permit with the City of Chandler.

SIGN AREA & SIZE RESTRICTIONS
Sign Area Calculation
Allowable Sign Area for Attached Signs is calculated as two (2) square feet 
for each lineal foot of Leased Frontage unless otherwise noted. Where a 
sign consists only of individual letters, numerals, symbols or other similar 
components, the total area of the sign shall be calculated by the sum of the 
areas of the smallest square or rectangle that encloses all the text and 
graphics as shown in Figure 1 at right.
Sign Envelope
is an area not to exceed 80% of the vertical and 80% of the horizontal back-
ground of the building surface upon which the sign is to be installed. Sign 
envelope does not define the total allowable sign area. It defines the 
outermost reaches that a sign can occupy. Sign area calculations based 
on lineal feel of leased space still apply. See Figure 3 at right.
Sign Letter Sizes
No single sign letter, cabinet or single line of copy shall be taller than 15% of 
building height or the maximum height of designated/approved sign band - 
whichever is shorter. Multi-lined copy or total sign height must not exceed 
designated sign band. A non-illuminated backer panel or plate, or non (face) 
illuminated backer cabinet or panel may exceed maximum letter height but 
cannot exceed maximum sign band. These backer cabinets/panels/plates will 
be counted all together with other sign components for total sign area.
