Initially the plans for the Regal Cinema were adopted before the Design Review Board was established. The design of the sign was changed after the Review Board was established and the adoption of the Design Guidelines. The Design Guidelines do not speak to chasing lights on a sign. However, changes to the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Knoxville, TN in Article 4, Section 26 and Article 5, Section 10 requires the Review Board approval of chasing lights on signs within the D-1 District based on their compatibility and keeping in character with the Design Guidelines and surrounding established development.
