RE: SIGN APPLICATION 2003-692; ID Signs for Desert Massage Therapy
Dear Mr. Addington:
In regards to the above subject, the Community Development Department has reviewed
your application to establish two free_standing business identification signs, ± 24 square
feet each, at 77777 Calle Tampico.
Under Chapter 9.160 (Signs) of the La Quinta Municipal Code, only one of these signs
can be approved. The Code allows only one free-standing business identification sign for-
a stand-alone commercial building, which is permitted only if the subject building has a
minimum 200 feet of lineal street frontage. Staff has made the determination that the
parcel frontage along Calle Tampico and Avenida. Martinez does meet that minimum
requirement, and .can therefore allow -the one sign.
Based on the above, the Community Development Department has approved the
application to establish one free-standing business identification sign of up to ±.24
square feet (see approved Exhibits A and B, enclosed) for the referenced business. The
approved sign is consistent with the provisions of Chapter 9.160 of the Municipal Code.
This approval is subject to the following conditions:
1 . The applicant is responsible for- proper sign maintenance and compliance. with
other general sign standards as set forth in. the' City's sign code . (Section
9.160.030), as well as procuring any required building permit(s).
2. Installation and location of the sign shall comply with approved Exhibits A,. B and
the approval conditions as contained in this letter. The sign may be placed at
either of the locations shown in the application.
3. Final location of the sign shall maintain a minimum of 5 feet in distance f'rom.any
right of way, per Section 9.160.030:G.1 of. the Sign Code (LQMC, Chapter
9.160.)

Please be aware that a temporary grand. opening banner sign can be approved for. up to
30 days, subject to filing an application with the Community Development Department.
There is no fee for this application: Such banners are limited to a maximum size of 32
square feet, and may be approved for up to 30 days.
During inspection of the site, staff noted that there is a mural sign on the west elevation
of the building. This is considered a wall -mounted sign. Subsequent conversations with
you and your client. indicated that you may seek approval of a wall -mounted sign in the
future. In consideration of this, please note that Chapter 9.160 does permit two wall -
mounted signs for your property, with a maximum aggregate area of 50 square feet.
Your existing mural sign area will be.applied toward the 50 square foot aggregate for any
future wall -mounted sign application.
Should you need any clarification or further information in regard to this matter, or if you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
JERRY HERMAN
