Missle Way, Anaheim, CA 92801, Attn: L. Bursten. NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Approval of business ID signs for Ortho Mattress store. LOCATION: 73-394 Highway III ZONE: C-1 S.P. Commission noted that the concerns at the last submittal of this sign request were the size being too large and the colors being too bright. Commissioner Cook indicated that these concerns were not addressed. The square feet of signage is now more than the original proposed signs. Commissioner Martin explained that the building is not large enough to carry the 3 signs proposed. He suggested placing the "Ortho" on the left side and the "Factory Showroom" on the right side, leaving the middle archway open. Commissioner Holden suggested having one sign over the archway. He could keep the "Ortho" the same size and reduce the size of the "Factory Showroom" so that it would all fit on one sign to be placed over the archway. Commissioner Martin informed the applicant that he should come back with a new proposal that is smaller in size, perhaps just one sign. Moved by Commissioner Cook, seconded by Commissioner Martin, to continue this case. Carried 3-0 2.
