Inthe Fall of 2019, the former Rosa’s Cantina restaurant closed. The building underwent subsequent tenant improvements that included modifications toaccommodatethe new tenant,Be Good Restaurant &Experience.Oneof the modifications proposed by the applicant includes modifying the existing sign program to allow for a shift insign placement areas and to allow for blade signs. Per the Old Town Specific Plan, Sign Programs are classified as “Level Two Projects” and shall always require review by the Old Town Local Review Board prior to action by the approving authority. No development application for Level Two Projects in Old Town may be approved without a recommendation by the board. Prior to the submittal, staff provided the applicant with preliminary comments which outlined staff’s requested revisions to the Sign Program Amendment. Additionally, staff and the applicant effectively communicated via e-mail to expedite the review of this planning application. Staff received Planning Application No. PA20-0716, the final version of the Sign Program Amendment on June 17, 2020 by Michael Criscione of Be Good Restaurant and Experience. Staff determined that all of the previous outstanding comments had been addressed and the project was ready to be heard before the Old Town Local Review Board. The revised Sign Program amendment proposes to: Remove and replace the former painted wall sign placement area fronting Main Street Establish two (2) new blade signs along Old Town Front Street and another on Main Street ANALYSIS After reviewing the previously approved Rancon Plaza (#97) Sign Programand the Old Town Specific Plan Land Use and Development Standards(Subsection J-“Signs”),staff reviewed the proposed revised SignProgram Amendment todetermine the scope of changes.The changes are listed and compared in Table 1, found below: TABLE 1: APPROVED SIGN PROGRAM AND PROPOSEDAMENDMENT COMPARISON EXISTINGSign Program/ Old Town Specific PROPOSEDSign Program AmendmentSigns Plan Sign Requirements Main Street Wall Sign “Building E”Main Street Wall Sign “Building E” Sign ProgramRequirementsProposed Sign Program to Allow o Hand Painted o Wood Backer with Brushed Gold o 4’ HeightLaminate Letters o 4’-6” Wide o 2’-6” Letter Height o 18 Square Feet o 8’ Wide o 20 Square Feet Blade SignonOld Town Front StreetBlade Sign onOld Town Front Street Specific PlanRequirementsProposed Sign Program to Allow o 6-Square Feet Maximum o 3.3 Square Foot New Blade Sign o 8-FootMinimumVertical Clearance o 10-Foot Vertical Clearance o 1.5Square FeetMaximumPer Linear o Sign Program Change Consistent Foot of Frontagewith Specific Plan Requirements Blade Sign onMain StreetBlade Sign on Main Street Specific PlanRequirementsProposed Sign Program to Allow o 6-Square Feet Maximum o 3.3 Square Foot New Blade Sign o 8-Foot Vertical Clearance o 11’-6” Foot Vertical Clearance o 0.5 SF Per Linear Foot of Frontage o Sign Program Change Consistent with Specific Plan Requirements The existing sign program allows for a wall sign facing Main Street. However, the existingsign program identifies the sign as being a hand painted sign on the parapet. The applicant is requesting to (1) allow for the change in allowable materials and (2) a shift in the allowable sign placement area of the sign. As mentioned above, the building has undergone some façade improvements including the expansion of the parapet. The proposed wall sign area will be relocated from its current location (left side of the parapet) to now be at the center of the recently expanded parapet façade. The applicant also proposes to change the specifications of this wall sign to allow for a wooden sign backer and laminate letters with a metallic brushed gold finish.The proposed wall sign will be 20 square feet. Furthermore, the applicant is proposing to establish two (2)new allowable locations for blade signs. Both the signs will be constructed with a wooden sign backer and laminate letters with a metallic brushed gold finish. The signs will be3.3 square feet(14”height by 34.25” wide)and will be installed to maintainminimum 10-foot vertical clearance.The proposed signs will remain consistent with the requirements for blade signs set forth by the Old Town Specific Plan which reads, “Sign area may not exceed six square feet. The bracket does not count toward the sign area calculations. Blade signs shall not extend more than four feet from the wall surface. No more than one blade sign per tenant frontage is permitted…\[the\] minimum vertical clearance shall be eight feet.” As presented, the proposed sign design will be harmoniously integrated with the buildingand will remain compatible with the prescribed standards and requirements set forth by the Old Town Specific Plan.
