PROPERTY OWNER: TOM LATHROP REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF A SIGN PROGRAM FOR VISTA LA QUINTA COMMERCIAL OFFICE BUILDING LOCATION: NORTH OF AVENUE 47, WEST OF ADAMS STREET ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION: ON -PREMISE SIGNS ARE CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT UNDER CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 1531 1(a) GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: RC (REGIONAL COMMERCIAL) ZONING: CR (REGIONAL COMMERCIAL) BACKGROUND: Site History The 25,240 square -foot 2-story facility on 13.39 acres, the Vista La Quinta Commercial Office building, was approved on November 20, 2001 (Attachment 1). SIGN PROGRAM PROPOSAL: The applicant requests sign program approval for monument, tenant, and building ID sign areas and locations, for the entire multi -tenant building (Attachment 2). Building -mounted Signs Proposed are 23 illuminated tenant signs, nine on the front elevation fronting Avenue 47, 12 on the rear elevation facing the parking lot, and two on the second story of the rear elevation. All signs are in fixed locations with each sign proposed not to exceed 25 square feet with an "envelope" of 2 X 12.5 feet. Each sign is proposed to have individually mounted internally illuminated channel letters. Letter type is proposed to be Swis 721 DD BT with letter coloring proposed to be black/white, red or aqua with gold trim and bronze returns. Proposed are three illuminated building identification signs located on tower elements on the rear, east and west elevations. Copy for all building identification signs is proposed to read "Vista La Quinta" and are proposed to be the same type, size, style, and color as the proposed tenant signs. Monument Sian One monument sign is proposed to be located at the driveway entrance to the building. The sign consists of two 6' X 6' natural rocks placed back to back with space between the rocks for servicing and adequate landscaping to screen the raceway. Six inch high dark bronze reverse channel "halo" letters are proposed with copy to read "Vista La Quinta 78-900" Window and Directory Signs Proposed are 12 non -illuminated window and door tenant signs consisting of sign areas not to exceed 18" x 18" using machine cut vinyl with letter heights to be a minimum of one inch and with an egg shell color. Copy can include business name and address, hours of operation and a logo. Proposed are three non -illuminated directory signs located at each stairwell and the elevator. Directory signs are proposed to be 3' X 5' and are the same letter type, size, style, as the proposed window/door signs. ANALYSIS: Approval of a planned sign program allows the Planning Commission to make adjustments to sign areas, number of signs, alternative locations, alternative types, and additional heights if findings can be made. This request requires two adjustments: allow one additional building identification sign, and allow 6-inch letters on the proposed monument sign. The Sign Code requires a maximum of two building -mounted ID signs, and freestanding monument signs have a minimum 10-inch letter. Future signs for each tenant will be submitted under the general sign permit process as outlined in the proposed sign program, and will be reviewed for approval by staff using this approved Sign Program. FINDINGS: The following findings can be made in support of the proposed SA 2003-745: A. Sign Application 2003-745 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 2003-745 is harmonious with and visually related to all signs as proposed under the Sign Program since proposed are common letter type and size, color and location of signs. C. Sign Application 2003-745 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. Sign Application 2003-745 is harmonious with and visually related to surrounding development, as it will not adversely affect surrounding land uses. E. Sign adjustments to Sign Application 2003-745 can be made in that the proposed signs improve the overall appearance of the project, facilitates good design, provides an orderly and concise signing pattern, and facilitates compatibility with the building architecture.

All but one pad site has been sold and approved for development through the Site Development Permit process. SIGN PROGRAM PROPOSAL: The applicant requests Sign Program approval for monument and building/tenant ID sign areas, for the entire project area (Attachment 2). Two buildings have been completed but are not fully occupied; therefore, the Program is designed to be flexible and provide some optional approaches for signing. The Program individually addresses building, monument, and window signs. For continuity and consistency, all sign lettering is proposed as individual reverse channel with "halo" illumination, specifying standard fonts and minimal color variations. P:\Oscar\sa 03-746\sa2003746.rtf Building -mounted Signs Locations of the building -mounted signs are illustrated in the Sign Program, using the elevation of Buildings 3, 4 and 5. Presently, Buildings 4 and 5 are completed with Building 3 under construction. Sign areas are shown for both the upper and lower floor tenant spaces. The typical sign area of each sign is shown as ten inches by nine feet (approx. 7.5 square feet). The City's Sign Code allows one square foot per lineal foot of tenant frontage up to 50 square feet per street or common - use parking lot frontage. Monument Signs Location of monument signs will be at the project entries on Avenue 47, Caleo Bay and Washington Street. These signs will be designed as box -framed pedestals, with the framed area illuminated with double -sided tenant panels, and with the complex identification set as the heading in 6-inch reverse -channel individually illuminated letters. The monument structures will be finished in a smooth plaster coat with Canterra stone wainscot areas and a the cap with a pitched effect, to reflect the Center's architecture. Height of each monument will be no more than eight feet, and the entire monument measuring 36 square feet in area, under the 50 square foot maximum allowed by the City's Sign Code. Window Signs Under the Program, each tenant with entry window facings will be allowed one 18 x 18 inch (2.25 square feet) sign panel area in vinyl letters, which will identify the tenant by name and logo, and the tenant's business hours. These will be uniform in design and are intended to be unobtrusive, information -only signing. Signs for Palm Desert National Bank The applicant is requesting additional signs for the Palm Desert National Bank building, which were approved in March, 2003. The applicant has included in this Sign Program approval additional signs for the bank. Currently, the bank has a small logo sign installed near the ATM on the south elevation, and the bank name installed on the west elevation (facing Washington Street). As part of this Sign Program, they wish to add a second logo cabinet to the building's north elevation, and a second bank name sign to the building's south elevation. Both new signs would be the same size and design as their existing counterparts; the logo cabinet at six square feet and the bank name at 33 square feet. ANA[ YSIS- 1. All aspects of the Sign Program, as proposed, are within the allowable lineal building lease frontage and other provisions of the Sign Code, including the additional bank signs. P:\Oscar\sa 03-746\sa2003746.rtf 2. Future signs for each tenant will be submitted under the general sign permit process as they are identified, and will be reviewed against the parameters of this Sign Program, as approved. 3. The City's sign regulations require that freestanding complex monument ID signs have a minimum ten 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 Sign Application 2003-746: A. Sign Application 2003-746, as recommended, is consistent with the purpose and intent of Chapter 9.160 (Signs), in that it does not conflict with the standards as set forth in said Chapter. B. Sign Application 2003-746, 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 2003-746, as recommended, is harmonious with and visually related to the subject buildings as the scale of the signs and letter color used accentuate the buildings' design. D. Sign Application 2003-746, 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.
