window signage and a request to exclude awnings on
the storefront for a Site Plan Modification/Exterior
Alteration application for the H&M retail store in the
Carriage Crossing Life Style Center

February 20, 2015, application (2/24/15)

5. Excerpts from Carriage Comprehensive Sign Policy
INTRODUCTION: Mr. Eric Dull, representing H&M,
is requesting an appeal of a staff interpretation (see
Exhibit 1) of the Design Guidelines related to Exterior Alterations and window signage based on corporate
design and marketing practices, and the characterization of the window displays. The H&M store is located in
the Carriage Crossing Life Style Center (Price Farm, Phase
2) at Houston Levee Road and Highway 385, and zoned R-1
Low Density Residential with a Planned Development
overlay (Price Farm) that allows uses as permitted in the
SCC Shopping Center Commercial zoning district.
BACKGROUND: The Design Review Commission
approved the Tenant Manual and Comprehensive Sign
Policy for Carriage Crossing on May 8, 2003 (see Exhibit
3). The Tenant Manual (see Exhibit 4) requires that a tenant
incorporate two out of four elements into the storefront:
A.
B.
C.
D.
Door Covering/Canopy
Window Canopies
Projected Display Windows
Window Landscape Boxes
The 2003 Conditions of Approval required that any
storefront elevation not in compliance with the Carriage
Crossing Tenant Manual be submitted to the Design Review
Commission for review and approval.
The Comprehensive Sign Policy (CSP), as amended in 2012, requires that all signage within Carriage Crossing
be consistent with the Town’s Sign Regulations and Design Guidelines unless the CSP specifically allows
deviations (see Exhibit 5). The CSP allows, as a “Glazing Sign,” a trade name or logo on a tenant’s glass
storefront area. Window graphics and signage are further limited to 15% of the window with a maximum of 20
square feet, and alphanumeric or graphic symbols no more than 6” in height. The CSP specifically prohibits
internally illuminated signage in show windows.
KEY QUESTIONS: The Design Review Commission may find the following questions helpful in determining
whether the proposed deviations from the Carriage Crossing Tenant Manual are consistent with the Design
Guidelines.
1. Is the request to complete the H&M storefront without awnings (or canopies) compatible with the
overall design of the Carriage Crossing Lifestyle Center? Yes. Other tenants in Carriage Crossing
have storefronts without canopies, including Abercrombie and Fitch, one of the spaces being combined to
4/2/2015 4:47:43 PM
Page 1 of 3
create H&M. The existing tower element at the corner of the façade of the H&M store, the metal roof
and false windows in the second story, and recessed brick panels above the storefront combine to break
up the mass and create shifts in wall planes without the need for canopies or awnings.
2. Are the proposed illuminated graphics boxes considered signage as defined by the Town’s Sign
Regulations? Perhaps. A sign is defined by the Sign Regulations as “any device, fixture, placard, or
structure that uses color, form, graphics, illumination, text, symbol, and/or writing to advertise, attract
attention to, announce, identify, or identify the purpose of a person or entity, or to communicate
information of any kind. The following shall not be considered signs subject to sign regulation: artwork;
holiday lighting and decorations, including strips or strings of lights outlining property lines, sales areas,
roof lines, doors, windows, wall edges, or other architectural features of a building, displayed between
Thanksgiving Day and New Year’s Day of each calendar year and fifteen (15) days prior to and after this
time period; and memorial plaques, cornerstones, historical tables, and the like.” The Regulations define
a window sign as “a sign placed within, affixed to, in contact with, or located within three feet of a
window and intended to be seen from the exterior.” The DRC will need to decide if the illuminated
graphics boxes are something other than signage. If they are signs, the DRC should uphold the staff
decision and H&M will need to find other ways to display their products in the storefront windows.
3. If the DRC finds that the staff determination on the illuminated graphics boxes is in error, then will
the Town be expected to allow other retail developers in Town to install them in storefronts? No.
The Carriage Crossing Lifestyle Center is within the Price Farm Planned Development (PD). Most of the
Carriage Crossing storefronts are entirely inwardly-focused with visibility only from the parking areas
and drive aisles of the center. As a PD, the Outline Plan can be amended to allow illuminated graphics
boxes in specific areas not visible off the property.
DISCUSSION: The purpose of this two-fold. The first request is for the Design Review Commission (DRC) to
allow the storefront elevation to not incorporate any two of the four elements required by the Carriage Crossing
Tenant Manual. The second request is for the DRC to affirm (or find error in) staff’s decision that the
illuminated graphics boxes are signage. Out of an abundance of caution, staff made the determination that they
are signage based on the Sign Regulations as adopted in 2010. The applicant maintains that the graphics boxes
are used for the same purpose as mannequins and other types of window displays (see Exhibit 2), and that H&M
uses the boxes “as part of their global marketing…with imagery, mannequins and props in their display windows
to convey design styles and trends.” The applicant proposes four of the illuminated graphics boxes within the
280+ linear feet of storefront, less than 10% of the display window area.
NEXT STEPS: If the applicant is not in agreement with the any determination of the DRC an appeal can be
submitted to the BMA for review of the appeal. If Staff’s determination is affirmed, then the plans for the
storefront (adding two of the four elements) and/or interior improvements (illuminated graphics boxes) must be
revised and resubmitted to the Planning Division and Building and Codes Division for review.
The Carriage Crossing management should revisit the 2003 Tenant Manual to determine if there is a need to
update the Manual.
EXAMPLE MOTION #1 (BASED ON APPLICANT’S REQUEST): To waive the requirement for H&M to
incorporate two out of the four elements as listed in the Storefront Requirements in the Carriage Crossing Tenant
Manual.
EXAMPLE MOTION #2 (BASED ON APPLICANT’S REQUEST): To overrule staff’s interpretation of the
Design Guidelines related to an interpretation of the Design Guidelines in an email dated February 24, 2015,
(specifically comments #7 and 8), by Diana Dubois related to the review of a Site Plan Modification/Exterior
Alteration application on behalf of H&M.
4/2/2015 4:47:43 PM
Page 2 of 3
If the DRC votes to overrule the actions of staff’s administrative interpretation as noted in the email of February
24, 2015, regarding the Design Guidelines requirements, then the DRC should provide for the record an
explanation of the decision to the motion (and why the illuminated graphics boxes are appropriate).
If the DRC does not overrule the staff’s interpretation of the Design Guidelines over the use of the illuminated
graphics boxes, the DRC should state the necessary revisions to meet the intent of the Guidelines (e.g., locate
the boxes a specific distance from the window, externally illuminate the boxes).

Paul:
I sent you a draft copy of this email this morning so there are a couple of items that are wrong. I have
highlighted the areas that have changed in red.
As you know, I am your “project planner” for the storefront and building elevations requests for the H
& M Site Plan Modification/Exterior Alteration. The following information/submittal requirements must
be submitted before the application to be considered sufficient and processed for review:
Complete Application : provide one (1) collated copy of the application, cover letter/narrative and all
supporting material submitted to the Planning Division for review. This will include the $200.00
application fee for your request to be a sufficient application.
Due to your tight construction schedule, I have reviewed your plans emailed February 20, 2015. The
comments and questions are noted below:
1. What does W35 indicate on the Building Permit plans set page R-301.01?
2. I have not reviewed the wall signs with this application. The plans indicate that the blade

sign will be illuminated per the plan set A-600.01. The Carriage Crossing Design Criteria
does not allow illuminated blade signs. Once the Sign Permits and review fees for the
permits are submitted, the signs will be reviewed. However, the blade sign cannot be
approved per the Carriage Crossing Design Criteria if it is illuminated.
Can you explain what the plans mean when they note powder coated glass? On page
A-604-00 of the Building Permit Plans set notes powder coating. What color is the
glass. The Carriage Crossing Design Criteria indicates that all glass must be clear. Or is
it shown as a white powdered coated window frames?
The stainless steel base must be a minimum of 8” not the 6” shown.
Please indicate where the required awnings will be installed on the building front. Page
7 of the Carriage Crossing Design Criteria requires that awning be installed as part of
their storefront design.
Provide the lighting information and cut sheets for the storefront light box, the lights in
the display windows, and also for the entrance to H & M per Section 5, page 8 of the
Carriage Crossing Design Criteria. Will the existing exterior wall mounted lights remain
at this site?
Since window graphics are considered signage, it is calculated as part of the overall
signage. If the storefront display boxes are internally illuminated they will be required to
be 10-feet back from the window.
If the storefront display windows are externally illuminated they will have a setback of 3feet from the window. According to the Carriage Crossing Design Criteria, #8, the area
of the signage/graphic on each window opening shall not exceed 15% of the window
upon which the signage is to be placed. In no event shall the total of window signage for
a Tenant exceed twenty square feet (20 sq.) and must be included in computing the
1
Exhibit 1
Maximum Permitted Signage of 150 sq. ft. (for the 20,000 sq. ft. tenant space as
noted). Please note there are other requirements for glazing signs that will also apply.
This information can be found on Page 17 of the Carriage Crossing Design Criteria.
Here’s what to expect once the plans have been revised and resubmitted to the Town of Collierville:
•
Comments or a notice to proceed: You will receive comments on your revised
plans within 10 days of the Town receiving the plans. Or, you will receive a notice to proceed.
•
Building Permits: If you are granted a Notice to Proceed you may work with the
Building Codes Division regarding the permits.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Collierville, TN. 38017
Dear Commission,
H&M is requesting your approval to move forward with two items that conflict with the current
Carriage Crossing Design Criteria. The first variance requested is allowing the façade to be
completed without awnings. The second requested variance is to allow the use of Illuminated
Graphic Boxes in the display windows without considering them as signage elements and
counting them in the overall signage square footage requirements.
H&M the Company - Offer inspiring fashion with unbeatable value
In 1947 Hennes women’s clothing store opened in Västerås, Sweden. Today the H&M Group
has become a global fashion company offering fashion for everyone under the brands of H&M,
COS, Monki, Weekday, Cheap Monday and & Other Stories, as well as fashion for the home at
H&M Home. Currently H&M has 3,500 stores spread across 57 markets worldwide with an
aggressive 2015 expansion plan consisting of 400 new stores net. Most new stores in 2015 are
planned to open in China and the US.
The H&M logo with its vibrant red color has become an identifier to the brand and a symbol in
the marketplace. The retail environments echo their commitment to fashion, design and trend.
The storefront display windows reinforce their design philosophy.
Refer to Appendix A
Awnings
H&M interior designs are simplistic in nature and can be identified throughout the global
marketplace. Their exterior façades are no different. The use of additional elements such as
awnings distract from the design and the global recognition that has become H&M. With over
280 linear foot of storefront, the use of awnings would become a distinctive design element that
challenges their recognition and design philosophy.
Exhibit 2
Page 2
Several retailers throughout the center have been granted permission not to use awnings as
part of their finished façade. Abercrombie and Fitch, which is one of the spaces being combined
to create H&M, was completed without the use of awnings. See photos below.
Rendered Storefront Elevations are attached in Appendix B. They show the storefront façade as
we are requesting, without awnings.
Exhibit 2
Page 3
Display Windows and Illuminated Graphic Boxes
As part of their global marketing, H&M uses imagery, mannequins and props in their display
windows to convey design styles and trends. The mannequins and props are lit from above
using track heads with a color temperature of 3500K. At Carriage Crossing the track and track
heads will recess above the glazing channel to conceal the light source.
The Illuminated Graphic Boxes are used similar to the mannequins and props. The images
convey styles and trends in a contemporary presentation without the use of verbiage. The
presentation is clean, easily maintained and updated. The backlighting assures the graphic will
be evenly illuminated using (32)T5 lamps with a color temperature of 6,500K. There are no hot
spots or dark areas due to a burned out bulb. The images are printed on a fabric material that
allows light to penetrate which will soften the intensity of the lamps and results in image that is
vibrant with color and depth. See Appendix C for lightbox details.
H&M proposes using 4 illuminated graphic boxes in its more than 280 lineal feet of storefront.
Appendix D contains drawings indicating the sizes, locations and overall areas of each window
and illuminated graphic box. Each illuminated graphic box is approx. 66 sq ft in area
(110.32”x86.63”). The percentage of display window area filled by these range from 12.6% to
14% to 22.2%. Overall, less than 10% of the display window area is illuminated graphic boxes.

We appreciate your consideration on these items and look forward to discussing these with you
and answering any questions or concerns you may have.

business concept “Fashion and quality at the best price” is as clear as our
values, which are based on a fundamental

in our people. Other shared values are teamwork,
simplicity, entrepreneurial spirit, cost consciousness,
straightforwardness and openness, as well as striving for constant improvements. These values represent “the H&M spirit” and they are the very same

my grandfather Erling Persson in 1947.
Today we are a global company, with many thousands of H&M colleagues who serve millions of
-?=>97/<='/-97/0<977+8C.3Ɔ/</8>,+-5grounds and nationalities, but no matter who we
are, we are united by the H&M spirit and the desire
to give our customers the best possible fashion
deal – the best combination of fashion, quality
and price.
We are present in many markets around the world,
expanding rapidly and recruiting new employees
every day. At this time of strong expansion, our
success is more than ever dependent on our people.
We are judged on how we act and how we treat
each other, our customers, our suppliers and other
stakeholders as we do business and interact with the
world around us every day.
This H&M document covers all brands within the H&M Group such as H&M, H&M Home, COS, Monki, Weekday, Cheap Monday and & Other Stories.
In this context it is vital that no matter what our role
is at H&M, we always live according to our values
and guidelines and that we are all good H&M role
models in everything we do. When we do business
“the H&M way” we do so ethically, honestly and
responsibly. We continually encourage our suppliers
and other business partners to do the same.
Written in this document is what we at H&M already
know by heart. But since we are all ambassadors
for H&M, I would like to emphasise the importance
of our values and guidelines as they are always the
starting point for how we act. Living by them every
day is fundamental to our business and to our
long-term success.

TENANT SIGN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA
INTRODUCTION
The Carriage Crossing Comprehensive Sign Plan (CSP) will be enforced by the shopping center’s
managing agent, Poag Shopping Centers, LLC, not the Town of Collierville. Tenants are required to
submit their sign shop drawings to the Landlord and gain Landlord written approval prior to submitting to
the Town of Collierville. The Town of Collierville will review signage considering only the Town’s Sign
Regulations and Design Guidelines and with proof of approval by the Landlord. With the exception of any
deviations contained in the Price Farm Outline Plan and Carriage Crossing CSP as approved by the
Town of Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen, all signage within Carriage Crossing shall be
consistent with the Town’s Sign Regulations and Design Guidelines. The Carriage Crossing managing
agent shall review all sign applications for conformance with the Carriage Crossing CSP.
The purpose of the graphics and signage program for Carriage Crossing is to ensure that the designs of
Tenant signs are appropriate for the store and the surrounding context. Tenant signage is intended to
enhance downtown Main Street character of the project as well as convey the Tenant’s branding and
identity. This distinction warrants a unique and original approach to signage and graphics that encourage
a lively outdoor atmosphere.
1. Sign Design Criteria
Storefront signs are the Tenant’s first opportunity to engage the customers at Carriage Crossing and
should be seamlessly integrated into Tenant’s storefront design. Artistic and imaginative sign designs
that reflect this principle will enhance the overall retail and entertainment. Wording of the signage shall
be limited to the Tenant’s trade name, and shall not include specification of merchandise sold or services
rendered, regardless of Tenant “legal name.” Logos may be permitted at the discretion of the Landlord.

The storefront and blade signage must be installed on or before Tenant opens for
business in the Tenant space.

Except with the prior written approval of Landlord, no advertising placards, banners, pennants,
names, insignia, trademarks, or other descriptive material shall be affixed or maintained upon the
glass panes and supports of the show windows and doors, or upon the exterior walls of the
storefront or building.

Stores with corner locations may place signage on both elevations, subject to these criteria.

Exceptions may be made by the Landlord and shall be determined on an individual basis.

Store sign shall not exceed 70% of the storefront width, distance that shall be determined by the
lineal footage of the Tenants Lease line. In no case shall signage be placed within 24 inches of
the adjacent demising wall.
2. Required Sign Types

Primary Storefront Sign
To be located within Tenant’s Sign and Awning band

Storefront Blade Sign
Attached to Tenant’s storefront a minimum 7’-6” above finished grade

Choice of either Canopy/Awning Sign or Glazing Sign
See the following sections for details

Primary Address Sign
6” tall white numerals to be placed on the storefront in “Mrs. Eaves” font
Page 13 of 34 Exhibit 5
6. Primary Address Sign
Tenant shall display the suite number of the Premises to allow for precise identification of the Premises.
The suite numerals of the Premises are to be applied second surface on the interior of the storefront
glazing in the Landlord’s standard numeral font for the shopping center. Address sign area not to exceed
36 square inches.
7. Rear Door Address Sign
Signs will be single face, constructed from .050 black kynar aluminum with applied HP vinyl graphics.
Colors to match existing. Coordinate with Landlord representative. Signs will be similar to the illustration
below:
8. Glazing Signs
Tenant, at its option, may include a graphic such as its Trade Name or logo on its glass storefront area.
Any other type of graphic must be approved by Landlord and the approval of such will be granted only
when appropriate for the storefront design requirement and, in the opinion of Landlord, enhances the
design intent of the Shopping Center. All window graphics and signage are subject to the following:

The area of signage/graphic on each window opening shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of
the window upon which the signage is to be placed. In no event shall the total of window signage
for a Tenant exceed twenty square feet (20 sf) and must be included in computing the Maximum
Permitted Signage (typically 75 sf) as described in the sections later.

Any signage on glass must be:
o Alphanumeric or graphic symbols no more than 6" high with serif or ornate type face, or
o Larger recognized graphics logos, all permanently painted or silk screened on interior
side of glass (gold leaf, metallic color, etc.).
o If Tenant does not utilize a local or nationally recognized prototypical sign design using
graphics that are identified with its signage and Trade Name, then Tenant’s sign shall
utilize one of the typestyle options set forth below.
o Internally illuminated and neon signage are prohibited in show windows.

Incidental glazing signs shall not exceed
o 36 square inches for signs like “Ring Bell for Service” or “Mail Drop for Anchor” etc
o 12 square inches for signs like “Hours of Operation:…” or “All Major Credit Cards
