The commission heard a presentation for a new internally illuminated channel‑letter sign on the west elevation of Nationwide Arena intended to mirror an existing sign on the east elevation. Staff noted submitted materials included site plans, mounting details and renderings, and concluded the proposal is consistent with Downtown Design Guidelines’ guidance that tower signage be proportional to building height and compatible with architecture.
The presenter said the west elevation lacked identification and that the sign would aid visitors arriving from adjoining stadiums and districts. The proposed sign is an internally illuminated LED channel‑letter assembly with white faces and blue trim. The applicant noted that structural engineering for roof attachment will be completed as part of permit review.
Commission discussion was brief; staff and commissioners did not raise objections in the hearing. No detailed vote on this specific sign was transcribed during the portion of the hearing provided, though the application remains under review pending permitting and engineering documentation.
