Sincerely, ERIC CE Assistant Assistant Planner PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DATE: APRIL 9, 2013 CASE NO.: SIGN APPLICATION 2013-1686 — FIGUE RESTAURANT APPLICANT: SIGN*A*RAMA — CHAD ADDINGTON REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF A SIGN PROGRAM FOR THE EXISTING BUILDING AT 47-474 WASHINGTON STREET LOCATION: 47-474 WASHINGTON STREET — FIGUE RESTAURANT (ATTACHMENT 1) ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: THE LA QUINTA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THIS SIGN APPLICATION IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PURSUANT TO PROVISIONS OF SECTION 15311 (CLASS 11 (a) — ON -PREMISE SIGNS) OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Planning Commission Minute Motion No. 2013 - , approving Sign Application 2013-1686, as conditioned, for a Sign Program for the site located at 47-474 Washington Street. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The proposed sign program is for the building located at 47-474 Washington Street, which has recently changed ownership and is re -opening with a new restaurant (Attachment 2). The new restaurant will operate on the first floor with office space on the second floor. The sign program proposal contains the following sign requests: • Reface the existing monument sign along Washington Street for the new restaurant (complete); • One twenty-two (22) square -foot, illuminated building -mounted sign, on the buildings' northern elevation for the restaurant; P:\FILES\SA\13\1686 Figue Sign Program\Reports +\SA 13-1686_PC Rpt_Final_4-9-13.doc Page 1 of 4 • One thirteen (13) square -foot, cabinet sign, located on the building's northeast corner for the second floor office tenant; • One ten (10) square -foot, illuminated building -mounted sign, on the building's east elevation, for the restaurant; • One forty (40) square -foot monument sign along Caleo Bay Drive for the new restaurant. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: La Quinta Municipal Code, Section 9.160.030, requires a sign program be prepared for all sites with three (3) or more permanent signs. Although the building was originally approved in 2002, and more than three (3) signs have been permitted through the individual sign permit process, a comprehensive sign program was never approved. Based on the previously approved sign permits, staff recently approved replacement and refacing of those signs for the current tenants. In addition to the previously approved signs, the applicant is proposing an additional monument sign along Caleo Bay Drive. For this reason a sign program has been submitted in order to authorize the new monument sign and formalize the existing signs' size, style, and location. A total of ninety-six (96) square feet of building mounted signs and a single, thirty-five (35) square -foot, monument sign have been approved by staff. The following is a breakdown of the approved signs at this site: • One, twenty-three (23) square -foot building -mounted identification sign for the restaurant tenant on the building's west elevation; • Two building -mounted cabinet signs for the second floor office tenant, on the building's north and east facing elevations, ranging in size from thirteen (13) square feet and twenty-eight (28) square feet; • One, thirty-five (35) square -foot monument sign for the restaurant tenant, located along Washington Street; and • One, thirty-two (32) square -foot, non -illuminated building -mounted sign for the restaurant tenant on the building's south -facing elevation. The proposed sign program addresses sign design and location. The locations of the building -mounted signs match the sign locations previously approved by staff. The proposed building -mounted signs have been reduced from a total of four (4) signs (previously approved by Staff) to three (3) signs for a total of forty-five (45) square feet; a 50% reduction from the previously approved building -mounted sign area. All proposed building -mounted signs are within the sign allowances permitted by the Municipal Code. The proposed monument sign along Caleo Bay Drive is of the same design and size as the existing monument sign along Washington Street. The sign is approximately four and one-half (4.5) feet in height and is setback twelve (12) feet behind the P:\FILES\SA\13\1686 Figue Sign Program\Reports +\SA 13-1686_PC Rpt_Final_4-9-13.doc Page 2 of 4 curb. The monument sign size and location generally comply with the sign provisions listed in L.Q.M.0 Section 9.160. However, the monument sign's final location will need to be reviewed to ensure proper sight distance along Caleo Bay Drive. Staff has conditioned the applicant to receive final approval of the monument sign location from the City Engineer prior to installation of the sign. FINDINGS - The following findings can be made in support of Sign Application 2013-1686: A. Sign Application 2013-1686, as recommended, is consistent with the purpose and intent of Chapter 9.160, in that it does not conflict with the standards as set forth in said Chapter. B. Sign Application 2013-1686, as recommended, is harmonious with and visually related to all signs as proposed under the Sign Program, due to the common use of letter type and size, color and location of signs. C. Sign Application 2013-1686, as recommended, is harmonious with and visually related to the subject buildings as the scale of the signs and letter sizes used do not impede on the building design. D. Sign Application 2013-1686, as recommended, is harmonious with and visually related to surrounding development, as it will not adversely affect surrounding land uses or obscure other adjacent conforming signs. PUBLIC NOTICE: This request was published in the Desert Sun newspaper on March 29, 2013. To date, no comments have been received. Comments were not requested from any public agencies or City Departments other than those identified above, due to the scope of the amendment and perceived unlikelihood that these changes will affect any other departments or agencies. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Minute Motion No. 2013- , approving Sign Application 2013-1686, based on the findings and analysis included in the April 9, 2013, Planning Commission Staff Report for Sign Application 2013-1686, and subject to the following condition: ✓ 1. The applicant shall work with City staff on the final placement of any monument sign proposed along Caleo Bay Drive. Prior to the placement of the monument sign, the applicant shall obtain approval from the City Engineer. P:\FILES\SA\13\1686 Figue Sign Program\Reports +\SA 13-1686_PC Rpt_Final_4-9-13.doc Page 3 of 4 2. The applicant is limited to a maximum area of fifty (50) square feet for all building -mounted signs, and is limited to the areas identified for sign placement in the Sign Program, as approved by the Planning Commission. ►� 3. Any changes to the sign program, including sign size, sign placement and/or sign design, will require a sign program amendment application to be filed with the Community Development Department.
