NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Reconsideration of
awning with signage
LOCATION: 73-250 E1 Paseo
ZONE: C-1 S.P.
The applicant' s representative, Ernie Brooks, indicated
that he had gone before the city council with an appeal
to the commission's decision and was directed to return
to the A.R.C. to work out a compromise. Commissioner
Urrutia explained how the commission had asked for a more
open type structure. Mr. Brooks indicated that the
applicant did not want an open type structure and still
wanted to use the proposed fabric awning.
Mr. Smith noted that the request was back on the council
agenda on Thursday, March lOth.
Commissioner Holden felt that the awning should define an
entry way to a building or provide shade. He did not
feel the commission could approve an awning that went
nowhere. He read from the zoning code specifications
that "awnings must be substantially attached to the
building structure" .
Commissioner Urrutia noted that the commission was not
opposed to the concept, but did not feel that the
proposed awning was the answer. Commissioner Holden
added that they were looking for more of a garden
structure that leads to the garden area, not a banner
that leads to nothing.
Commission reiterated their opinion, i .e. the submittal
was not what they were looking for. Commission was
looking for a more architectural, artistic structure.
The applicant' s representative indicated that the
applicant only wished to proceed with the canopy awning
structure.
Mr. Drell will be attending the council meeting of
March lOth to represent the commission on this case.
