DP1.2 GAS STATION

BL 18787

Site Lighting and Signage The following design elements shall be considered for Gas Stations in Residential Areas: 26. Site lighting should be directed toward the interior of the site. Use landscaping to avoid the impact of reflected light from the canopy, signs and car head lamps onto adjacent sites. 27. Diffuse lighting, focused toward the inside of the site, should be used to minimize the glare towards adjacent properties. 28. One free standing sign per lot frontage will be permitted on the site and must be integrated with landscaping. The sign should be designed as a feature and incorporate materials and forms used in other structures on site. (illustr.)

RESIDENTIAL AREAS

30. Free standing and monument signs should be located a minimum of 2 m from the street prop- erty line to retain visual continuity of the landscaping. A permanent base should also be provid- ed for changeable, temporary signs or advertisements. 31. Wall-mounted signs should be limited to a maximum of two sides of the building. Back-lit Plexi -glass box signs, mounted on the fascia of the convenience store, are not permitted. Any box sign must be flush mounted. 32. Corporate logos on the canopy should be limited to a maximum of two sides. Backlit fascia signs are not permitted on any service buildings. 29. Pole signs supported by one or more vertical posts and snap-on signs attached to light fixtures are not permitted.
