City of Palm Desert
TO: Mayor and Members of City Council
FROM: Bruce Altman, City Manager
DATE: September 7, 1989
SUBJECT: Specii-. . Signage for Ahmanson Commercial
Development Company
As part of our continuing efforts to cooperate with the Ahmanson
Commercial Development Company, the City is jointly sponsoring a
hospitality suite at the Marriott Hotel during the International
Council of Shopping Centers ( ICSC ) meeting from October 4th
through the 16th . The thrust of our promotion will be the
excellent business climate in Palm Desert while Ahmanson will,
naturally, be promoting their sites on Highway 111 and the Sun
Lodge Colony.
Part of a successful sales effort will be to allow, and in fact
encourage, the prcz.pective tenants to visit the sites . By so
doing they will be able to assess the environment and make their
decisions . To facilitate this visitation, Ahmanson has requested
permission to erect four signs each located on and indicating the
scope of the proposed development on a specific site.
The proposed signs will measure 4x8 feet and will be erected four
feet above the suriace of the site . They have chosen a medium
green and light blue as background colors with dark gray and white
lettering. Exact w,-)rdi^.g of the requested signs as well as color
swatches will be presented to Council at or before the meeting of
September 14th.
Encouraging potential tenants to visit the sites will assist City
staff at the hospitality suite in their efforts to promote visits
to Town Center, El .'aseo, etc. The requested signage by Ahmanson
seems appropriate in this instance.
