Item 7.a. - Page 1
Assistant Planner Perez presented the staff report and details about the materials, colors, and
location of the proposed signs. The presentation also included information about how the
proposal conforms to the Village Centre Planned Sign Program and the Design Guidelines
and Standards for the Historic Character Overlay District.
Marc Collins, project representative, spoke in support of the project and explained that the
design of the sign was chosen to hide the wall area that was damaged by the installation and
removal of signs for the previous tenant.
The Committee spoke in support of the project and appreciated the rustic feel and character
of the signs, found the materials and colors to be an appropriate choice given their location in
The Village, and felt that the patina that will develop from the exposure of the corrugated metal
will enhance the rustic feel. The Committee suggested that the applicant lighten the color of
the border to help emphasize the sign’s message.
Committee Member Juette made a motion, seconded by Vice Chair Berlin, to recommend
approval of the project to the Community Development Director as submitted.
The motion passed 5-0 on the following voice vote:
AYES: Juette, Berlin, Hall, Couch, Hoag
NOES: None
