The proposed sign program will enhance the development, is in harmony with and
visually relates to all the signs included in the sign program by incorporating common
design elements such as materials and illumination into the program. The sign program
will incorporate similar materials used in the building within the design of the
freestanding tenant identification sign. The proposed sign program will not adversely
affect the surrounding development and land uses or obscure adjacent approved signs.
8. The sign program accommodates future revisions which may be required due to
changes in building tenants.
The proposed sign program accommodates future revisions which may be required due
to changes in building tenants by specifying that tenants vacating premises shall be
responsible for the removal of their sign within 30 days of vacating the premises. This
includes the removal of the signs, capping electrical wiring, filling all holes and painting
wall surface. No new tenant signage will be approved until the prior signage has been
removed and the area restored.
C. The proposed sign program, as conditioned, satisfies the intent or objectives of
the Development Code and will enhance the development. The proposed program results in
appropriate signage that compliments the building architecture and aesthetics.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. This project is exempt from review under
CEQA, pursuant to Section 15311 (Class 11 Categorical Exemption - Accessory Structures) of
the CEQA Guidelines.
