2. CASE N0. 45C - BANK OF AMERICA
Request for approval of final construction plans for a bank building to
. be located at the northeast corner of E1 Paseo and San Luis Rey. Appli-
cant present. .
Mr. Cipriani reviewed the final plans from the standpoint of signs and -
landscaping. He indicated that the final plans reflect an alternative
sign program to that approved by the Board and the Planning Commission
previously. The three directional signs contained in the final plans
are as approved. However, where both the Board and the Planning Com-
mission had approvec': a ground monument sign and a logo sign, the applicant
is now showing a logo sign and one sign on bath the east elevation and
the west elevation in place of the ground monument sign for a total of
three signs. The Board had no objecti�ns to the alternative sign pro-
posal contained in the final plans as the alternative still adheres to the
Zoning Ordinance and approval of the alternative would not set an unde-
sirable precedent.
The Board indicated that they would like Mr. Johnson to review the land-
scaping as showr� in the final plans .prior to the Planning Commission ' s
review of the case so that his recommendations could be considered at their
meeting. It was moved by Mr. Hobbs and se�onded by Mr. Mirturn that the .
final plans be appro��ed subject to any changes recommended by Mr. Johnson
upon reviewing the landscaping element. Motion approved 4-0 (Hobbs, Min-
turn, Leung, Urrutia) .

� final drawings refiect the Planning Commission 's recorr�nendation that the
first parking space be widened.
It was moved by Mr. Hobbs and seconded by Mr. Leung that the final plans
be approved. Motion approved 4-0 (Hobbs, Leung, Minturn, Urrutia) .
