East Elevation
CMC 19.104 Signs – Wall Signs
Permitted Proposed Wall Signs
North Facade Location One Location Two
Number of Wall
Signs
One sign per business with exterior
frontage. One additional for:
- Businesses with no ground sign and
adjacent to more than one street or
shopping center driveway.
- Sign directed to interior of project and
not visible from any public right- of-way.
- Single tenant building pad with more
than 5,000 s.f.
Permitted Although adjacent
to a shopping
center driveway,
the business is not
permitted to have
a second wall sign
since they are
utilizing space on
an existing ground
sign.
A single business is
not permitted to
have a third wall
sign.
Analysis
●Require least modification of regulations and the minimum
variance.
●Exception for three (3) wall signs is far above allowed
number of wall signs permitted for a single business.
●Allocating multiple signage to a single business is
contrary to providing architectural and aesthetic
harmony of signs as they relate to building design
and quantity to allow for good visibility for public
and needs of the business.
●An allowance for one additional wall sign along the east
façade could be seen as a minor deviation from the
Municipal Code.
Recommended Action
●Staff recommends that the Planning Commission, in
accordance with the draft resolution:
●Find the project exempt from CEQA; and
●Approve the Sign Exception (EXC-2022-004)
to allow a total of two wall signs.
Next Steps
Should the project be approved, the Planning
Commission’s decision on this project is final unless an
appeal is filed within 14 calendar days of the date of
the decision. All approvals granted by the Hearing
Officer shall go into effect after 14 days.
