Commissioner Narum asked Mr. Cornell how important the window signs were to the Bank. Mr. Cornell replied that they did not actually propose the window signs and said they quite commonly run a small stencil of about three inches with their logo at below eye level on windows. He stated that because of the styling criteria, it would not be something they would be interested in. Regarding window signs in general, he indicated that they do like to market through the windows and that they put marketing posters into tasteful, clear plastic holders which sit six feet off the window inside the glass, such as when they have a three percent CD rate. He added that staff had made a specific condition about window signage and it precludes them from doing this; however, they would like to be allowed to have an allowance for temporary signage for short-term marketing. Commissioner Narum said she was supportive of the Comerica logo and is sensitive to marketing but voiced slight discomfort with every window potentially having signage on it. Mr. Cornell stated that they were well under the maximum signage limit with three signs proposed today and would be open to a condition to restrict any additional window signage. In response to Commissioner Fox’s inquiry regarding the number of tenants proposed for the top floor, Mr. Otto replied that two tenants were proposed; however, any future tenant space could split into additional spaces. He added that if this were to occur, the owner would have to return to the Commission for additional signs for each of the tenants. Commissioner Fox noted that the Pleasanton Hotel had tenants on the second floor, but she does not recall seeing any window signage on the second floor, except for occasional banners on the balconies for special events. She inquired how second-floor tenants of historical buildings along Main Street traditionally advertised their businesses. Mr. Otto replied that the Pleasanton Hotel had a couple of directory signs for the second-floor tenants on the side and rear of their building. He stated that he did not believe there was a traditional approach Downtown and that each request is considered on a case-by-case basis. He added that some have window signs and other have wall signs. He noted that staff had a request a year ago by a tenant who wanted to have signs as well as a front directory sign. Commissioner Fox inquired if the second-floor uses would be retail and, therefore, would need window signs. Mr. Otto replied that retail could be located on the second floor; however, typically offices go on the second floor. He noted that second-floor businesses often like to PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 25, 2009 Page 16 of 27
