Icv'Y TO: The Honorable City Council ACTION: LZ d FROM: Jaime R. Agullera, Director of Community Developme( / 1,oAr _. , Kathleen Mallory, Associate Planner K rti'1 p`- rust/ DATE: July 6, 1994 (CC meeting of July 20, 1994) SUBJECT: CONSIDER MINOR MODIFICATION NUMBER 4 TO DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NUMBER 302 (AMERICAN PRODUCTS) BACKGROUND On May 22, 1985, Development Permit Number 302 was approved by the City Council (Resolution Number 85-302) for the construction of a 109,300 square foot office and manufacturing building. Major Modification Number 1 was approved on March 2, 1988, and Slowed the construction of a 121,520 square foot office, manufacturing and warehouse building, which adjoined the existing 109,300 square foot building. The subject building is 230,820 square feet in size, and is occupied by American Products, located at 10951 West Los Angeles Avenue. American Products is requesting approval to modify Condition of Approval Number 19 to Major Modification Number 1. Pursuant to this condition of approval, if signage is requested for the subject building, only a Monument Sign may be installed. DISCUSSION Conditions of Approval Major Modification Number 1 to Planned Development Permit Number 302 stated, "...only a Monument Sign shall be permitted for this development plan and shall not exceed 30 square feet, no higher that 5 feet above average ground level. A sign program shall be submitted and approved by the Director of Community Development for all other on-site direction signs" (see Attachment Number 1). For the Council's information, no other signage is present on the existing building. American Products Proposal American Products is requesting approval to install two wall signs, in two locations on the same elevation (see Attachment Number 2) facing Los Angeles Avenue. The total proposed sign area for each sign is 59 square feet; the total sign area for both signs is KM-a:DP302MIN.N04 The Honorable City Council July 6, 1994 Page 2 118 square feet. The proposed letter size is 8 '1 inches and each logo stripe is 11 % inches. The height of the sign, from the top to bottom of each logo stripe, is 5 feet two inches (5' 2'). Conformance with the City's Sign Ordinance and Staff's Analysis The City's Sign Ordinance does not allow more than one sign per elevation, with a maximum of 120 square feet of sign area for the entire building. Therefore, the Director of Community Development has denied the request for two wall signs on one elevation. One wall sign has been approved (in lieu of the Monument Sign) on the south elevation (Los Angeles Avenue) by the Director at a location to be determined by the applicant and approved by the Director of Community Development (see Attachment Number 3). The Zoning Ordinance allows only one wall sign per elevation and the proposal as approved by the Director of Community Development complies with all sign regulations including size. Staff has visited the site and determined that installation of a Monument Sign would not be an effective form of sign advertising based upon existing site constraints. The existing and improved flood control channel south of the site, parallel to Los Angeles Avenue, hinders the ability to install an effective form of low ground signage. Overview Staff has reviewed the original conditions of approval for Development Permit Number 302 and Major Modification Number 1 and has determined that the applicant is in compliance with all other conditions of approval. The Director of Community Development has reviewed the Minor Modification request and conditionally approved the proposed modifications to the development permit on July 6, 1994,with the appeal period ending on July 22, 1994. If no appeal is filed, the Director's decision will stand. If the Council wishes to appeal the Director's decision, the next available public hearing would be August 3, 1994. Pursuant to Resolution Number 88-523,the Director has the authority to approve Minor Modifications.
