The Modification is for approval of a revision to the elevations to Shop 4 - which would remove the central towers.

All lettering for all signs shall be of the same style. Discussion This matter has been continued from the City Council meeting of October 21, 1992 to allow the applicant additional time to work with prospective tenants and staff to discuss alternative solutions concerning the number, type, and style of signs proposed for the shopping center. As a result, the applicant has agreed to eliminate all of the proposed monument signs with the exception of the Shell Station monument sign which was approved. With Minor Modification No. 2 of CPD 89-2, Shell Oil Company was granted approval for one 6 ' by 8 ' monument sign at the corner of Los Angeles Avenue and Park Lane to be used as a combined monument and pricing sign. In exchange for the previously approved monument signs, the applicants for CPD 89-1 and -2 would have two 24 foot high identification signs (one located on the CPD 89-1 property and the other on the CPD 89-2 property) . The proposed sign would have 24 inch letters for the major tenant and 18 inch letters for the other tenants . The proposed colors and style of the of the proposed pylon sign as shown to staff are complementary to the proposed buildings within the shopping center. The Community Development Committee (Lawrason and Perez) reviewed the proposed Pylon signs and recommended that the Planning Commission review them prior to taking this matter back to the City Council. On December 8, 1992, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed pylon signs at the sign work shop. The workshop group recommended that the applicant be allowed the monument signs as originally requested in this Minor Modification in lieu of the proposed pylon signs. Therefore, staff intends to approve the following wording to Condition No. 19 : 19 . Prior to the issuance of a Zoning Clearance, a comprehensive sign program for the shopping center shall be submitted to the Department of Community Development. The sign program shall be designed to provide a uniform sign arrangement and design. Only individual channel letters shall be allowed. No lighted window signs will be allowed. The sign program shall be approved by the Director of Community Development or his designee prior to the issuance of a Zoning Clearance. All new lessees shall conform to the approved sign program and be required to obtain a sign permit from the Community Development Department. Monument signs shall be limited to Los Angeles Avenue, Park Lane and Liberty Bell Avenue and shall be externally lighted. PP11:17:92/11:16m&:\1M1MMOD3.QC 2 a. A maximum total of three 6 foot by 8 foot monument signs shall be permitted (One for the Shell gas station at the corner of Los Angeles Avenue and Park Lane and the other two for the two major anchor tenants) . A maximum of four, 4 by 6 foot monument signs will be permitted for single use tenants (two along Los Angeles Avenue, one on Liberty Bell Road and one on Park Lane) . Lighting for the signs may be external or internal and individual letters (preferably channel letters) must be used. All lettering for all signs shall be of the same style. Elevation Change The City Council approved elevations for Shop Building No. 4 which included two center towers at the front and rear elevations . The applicant has informed staff that by eliminating the two center towers and replacing then with other architectural features as shown in the attached revised elevations, the architectural theme of the building will remain consistent with the proposed K-Mart building. Staff is of the opinion that with the existing tower provides a focal point for the center and that removing the tower would significantly detract from existing visual character of the proposed building. Therefore, staff intends to deny the requested elevation change to eliminate the center tower feature. The Director of Community Development has reviewed the proposed elevations changes (Part A of this Minor Modification) and has denied it. However, Part B of the Minor Modification requesting clarification of Condition No. 19 allowing a monument sign on Park Lane and a third 6 by 8 foot monument sign (one for the Shell Gas Station) has been approved. Pursuant to Resolution No. 88-523, the Director has the authority to approve or deny Minor Modifications. This matter is being presented to the City Council as a courtesy. In the event the City Council wishes to appeal the Director's decision, it may do so. Should the City Council desire to appeal, it should set a public hearing date. The next available meeting date would be the regular meeting of January 20, 1993. If the City Council takes no action, the Director's decision will stand and is effective as of December 11, 1992 .
