Commissioner Pearce stated that she knows part of the concern with the Sign Program is <br />that the signs are incompatible with other signs. She inquired if there are any other signs <br />on the freeway side of the building or within that area that would be incompatible with <br />their proposal. <br />Ms. Bonn replied that there are no other signs on the subject building; the building to the <br />south is occupied by Work Day, which has a sign that faces 1 -680. <br />Chair Blank inquired if that sign is not illuminated internally. <br />Ms. Bonn replied that was correct; the sign is halo illuminated. <br />Commissioner O'Connor inquired if the Work Day sign meets all of the other criteria of the <br />Sign Program. <br />Ms. Bonn replied that Work Day also went through a Sign Design Review application to <br />deviate from the Sign Program; the location of that sign is different from what the Sign <br />Program requires. <br />Chair Blank inquired if it is compliant in terms of size and illumination. <br />Ms. Bonn replied that it is compliant in terms of illumination but that the size is also <br />deviant. <br />Commissioner Pearce inquired if, with respect to the other proposed elevation, there are <br />signs within the proximity that deviate from the Sign Program or that this sign would clash <br />with. <br />Ms. Bonn replied that there are no other signs on the north fagade and that the applicant <br />actually has a sign on the north fagade that will be removed and replaced with this <br />proposal. <br />Commissioner Pearce inquired if the proposal is internal - illumination for both signs. <br />Ms. Bonn said yes. <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. <br />Howard Herlitz, Applicant, stated that part of the reason he is applying for this deviation <br />from the Sign Program criteria is because he believes the Sign Program was written 20 or <br />30 years ago. He noted that the property management group and owner actually signed <br />off on this application, and he thinks they do not have any problem with the change. He <br />stated that at that time, the reverse pan channel halo illuminated letters were the thing, <br />and what he is proposing is an internally illuminated sign, but with black /white features. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 8, 2013 Page 16 of 25 <br />
