Minutes Planning Commission January 22, 1986 instances 24" lettering would be appropriate and in others 36" would be. Commissioner Wellman agrees with having building identification but it should be underlined that the standards adopted are to be used as guideline only. Commissioner Wellman was supportive of proposed policies 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, amending 8 to reflect 36" maximum. She indicated an additional condition should be added that parapet signing is not to be considered unless a tenant had a major portion of the building. Commissioner Lindsey felt perhaps they should be the owner of the building to have such signing. Commissioner Wellman also indicated it should be known what the signs would look like both day and night. Commissioner Innes indicated he could support parapet signing for multi-story if done in good taste, but the policy as submitted is lacking and needs more detail work. It needs to address single users in multi-buildings and single buildings. The height of the parapet buildings needs to be addressed. Commissioner Lindsey disagreed. Commissioner Michelotti thought it would be proper to look at the signing on a case-by-case basis including what is in the surrounding area. When driving on the freeway toward San Francisco, for example, every building doesn't have parapet signing. A motion was made by Commissioner Wellman, seconded by Commissioner Lindsey to adopt policies 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, amending 8 to reflect 36" maximum. ROLL CALL VOTE AYES: Commissioners Hoyt, Wellman and Vice Chairman Lindsey NOES: Commissioners Innes and Michelotti ABSENT: Chairman Wilson ABSTAIN: None Resolution No. 2753 was entered and adopted regarding design guidelines for parapet signage as motioned. A motion was made by Commissioner Innes, seconded by Commissioner Hoyt that Case Z-85-408 be approved subject to conditions shown in the staff report. Commissioner Michelotti was concerned with orientation of the signing. The northwest signage is oriented toward the freeway - she had no problem with that. The other signing is oriented southeast. She feels that in this case the buildings identify themselves. She could support freeway oriented signing but would have a problem with signing oriented toward residential districts. She felt a precedent might be set. Roger Gage, Prudential, indicated he is confused with the type of illumination which has been recommended by the staff for approval. He prefers the internally illuminated letters for Case Z-85-408. He would be willing to have the signage go off at 11:OOpm and come back on at 6:OOpm. - 12 - ... ... . _.T....f._...... _
