The only proposed signage is a 2 feet by 3 feet wall mounted sign to be placed on the building's front fagade. The parking lot was modified slightly to provide proper stall depth and driveway width. Hours of operation for this proposed office are 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., five days a week. The one-story building will be 18 feet in height.
