This action was taken subject to the staff recommended approval conditions, as set forth
in the attached final conditions. These requirements shall be incorporated into a final Sign
Program document, as required by Condition 6, for submittal to the City and maintenance
in our approved Sign Program inventory. Please find along with the conditions, a copy of
the approved Sign Program for finalization in accordance with the above.
Please be aware that all signs under this program, that are not currently installed require

individual sign applications for approval.
Should you have any questions regarding this information, please do not hesitate to

DATE: OCTOBER 14, 2003
CASE NO: SIGN APPLICATION 2003-727
APPLICANT/
SIGN CONTRACTOR: PARAGON SIGNS, INC
PROPERTY OWNER: DR. MATTHEW WERNER
REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF A SIGN PROGRAM FOR 47250
WASHINGTON STREET (LAKE LA QUINTA PLAZA)
LOCATION: EAST SIDE OF WASHINGTON STREET, JUST NORTH OF
OMRI & BONI RESTAURANT (ATTACHMENT 1)
ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSIDERATION: ON -PREMISE SIGNS ARE CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT
UNDER CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15311(a)
GENERAL PLAN
DESIGNATION: CC (COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL)
ZONING: CC (COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL)
BACKGROUND:
Site History
The project was approved by the City Council under Specific Plan 2002-056 and
Site Development Permit 2002-731, on June 18, 2002. Condition #76 of the Site
Development Permit, which approved the project, requires that a planned sign
program must be submitted and approved by the Planning Commission, prior to
establishment of any permanent signs for the project. The applicant has already
installed one of the signs as proposed. Presently, the doctor's portion of the
building is in operation under a temporary Certificate of Occupancy.
SIGN PROGRAM PROPOSAL:
The applicant requests sign program approval for three building/tenant ID sign
areas; two mounted on the south building elevation, and one on the west
(Attachment 2). The main building ID copy will have letter heights of 16 inches and
7.5 inches. The area of each sign is will not exceed 50 square feet. The sign
program is intended to apply only to the existing phase 1 building. The applicant
intends to process an amendment to include the 2"d phase building. Note, the
applicant has installed one of the south elevation signs for his practice, which was
applied for under another sign application, but not approved (Attachment 3).
Also proposed is one freestanding monument sign for the complex (location not
determined). The monument measures approximately 36 square feet and stands at
just under 7 feet in height.
Construction of all building -mounted sign copy consists of injection molded plastic
letters, with no Illumination. All letters will be in a dark bronze finish, and will be
affixed to the building with stud mounting. _.
ANALYSIS:
1. The sign program as proposed is within the allowable lineal building lease
frontage and other allowances of the sign code;
2. Future signs for the remaining tenants will be submitted later as they are
identified. Specific sign locations and sizes will be reviewed against the
provisions of the sign program; and,
3. The sign regulations require freestanding complex monument ID signs to
have a minimum 10 inch letter size. As this commercial project borders a
residential area and is a low intensity commercial office use, the issue of
visibility of signs is less significant than in a more intense commercial district
with more competitive sign visibility concerns.
FINDINGS:
The following findings can be made in support of SA 2003-725:
A. The Sign Program 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. The Sign Program 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. The Sign Program is harmonious with and visually related to the subject
building as the scale of the signs and letter color used accentuate the
building design.
D. The Sign Program is harmonious with and visually related to 'surrounding
development, as it will not adversely affect surrounding land uses or obscure
other adjacent conforming signs.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Minute Motion No. 2003 - , approving Sign Application 2003-725 as
submitted.
