NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Approval of sign program for Coast Federal Savings and Loan. LOCATION: Palms to Pines West, Phase 11; Southeast corner El Paseo and Highway I11. ZONE: P.C. (3) S.P. Mr. Diaz highlighted the salient points of the staff report. He indicated that the applicant is requesting 4 signs for the Coast Federal Savings and Loan building on the southeast corner of El Paseo and Highway 111. He explained that the two fascia -mounted signs comply with code, but the proposed 50 square foot wall -mounted logo sign, facing west, exceeds the sign code height limit for wall signs of 20 feet. Also, the freestanding monument sign is not permitted pursuant to code (there is an existing monument sign already in this center). Mr. Michael Andolphi, representing Coast Federal, explained to the commission that the proposed monument sign was put there to help hide the transformer, as well as being a business identification. He also explained that the wall -mounted sign carries the corporate identity, has been on television, and is the company logo. Mr. Andolphi also indicated that the company has received awards from the chamber of commerce in Northridge. The commission discussed lowering the sign. Mr. Sawa explained that according to the scale on the plans the wall - mounted sign would not fit if it was moved down. Commissioner Cook expressed concern regarding the colors of the proposed fascia-moupted signs. (#2037 Yellow and #2418 Brown) Mr. Andolphi replied that the colors represent the company's identity. After further discussion regarding the wall -mounted sign and monument signs, the applicant asked if there was any way they could retain the signs. Mr. Diaz indicated that the applicant would have to apply to the planning commission to request a variance change, and an amendment to the code. He explained to the applicant that it was usually difficult to gather findings that justified a variance to sign regulations. -2- AGENDA ITEM NO: III-A-3 DATE: July 10, 1984 ARCHITECTURAL COMMISSION CASE NO: 223 C APPLICANT (AND ADDRESS): MR.

Mr. Smith explained that during study session, the commission reviewed the request for approval of an elevation change to the Branding Iron.

Chairman Gregory explained to the applicant that there were two main concerns expressed by the commission during study session. 1) The Tyrolean style does not reflect the environment of the desert; and 2) The structure on top of the roof gives a stage type of facade. Mr. Gary Schramm was present and explained to the commission that he would like to make the building look good. Commissioner Holden indicated that the roof structure from the side view would show that it didn't extend over the entire length of the building.
