REQUEST: Install Directional Sign to the Desert Cities Baptist Church

Letter from Desert Cities Baptist Church with Attachments
Recommendation:
By minute motion, authorize staff to replace the one existing
directional sign with a new sign, located on El Paseo north of
Painters Path.
Discussion:
The Desert Cities Baptist Church has requested that the City install additional
directional signs to their facility. They noted the existing directional sign at El
Paseo and Highway 74 for St. Margaret's and Palm Desert Community
Presbyterian Churches, which was installed by the City, and asks for similar
consideration.
Staff notes that there is one directional sign for the churches on Highway 74 and
is of the opinion that the number of directional signs in the City must be
controlled. A simple search of the yellow pages revealed 45 churches located in
Palm Desert, and there are probably others as well. Comprehensive signing to
each church would require installation of many additional signs, which could
contribute to sign blight.

Dear Mr. Errante. September 8, 2003
This letter is a follow-up per instructions I received from your assistant, in regards to signage on
the corners of Monterey& El Paseo and El Paseo&Painter's Path.
I believe the sign that directs drivers toward St. Margaret's Episcopal Church and Palm Desert
Community Presbyterian Church are both attractive and helpful.
Attached you will find two digital photographs (one of their signage and one of ours), the dis-
similarity is immediately obvious.
I respectfully request that the City of Palm Desert offer us the same consideration afforded to
the other churches in the area.
Attached you will also find a proposal for additional signage.
Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.
Please feel free to call me with any questions or concerns, (760) 346-7788.
Sincerely
John LeProhon
