At this point in the meeting Commissioner Landis
disclosed that he had met with the applicant for the
commercial project (M &M) located at Campus Park Drive
and Collins Drive.
The Commission continued to question staff regarding:
• What impact the proposed sign ordinance would
have on the M &M project signage.
• Pylons signs for community commercial centers
versus neighborhood commercial centers.
• Signage for the Nearon Project at the southwest
corner of New Los Angeles Avenue and Miller
Parkway.
Chair Pozza continued to take public testimony.
David Morehead, applicant for the commercial project
located at Campus Park Drive and Collins Drive,
expressed concern that the sign ordinance, as
proposed, would be overly restrictive and not provide
the freeway visibility that prospective tenants would
require.
The Commission questioned Mr. Morehead on what signage
he felt was required to address freeway visibility,
including location and height.
The Commission questioned staff regarding options for
addressing signage opportunities for freeway oriented
commercial and industrial properties.
MOTION: Commissioner Landis moved to continue the
item, with the public hearing open, to the regular
Planning Commission meeting of June 28, 2005, and
directed staff to incorporate the Chamber of Commerce
suggested changes recommended by Mr. Hogan, minor
language changes suggested by the Commission, and to
include a section addressing freeway oriented signage.
