Case No. 31C - Ira Johnson for Red Vest Pizza Parlor Review plans for remodel of an existing structure to allow a pizza parlor on the north side of Highway 111, west of Portola and a parking lot on the northwest corner of Alessandro Drive and San Jacinto Avenue. (C-1, S.P. and R-3 (4) ).

Case No. 10SA - Walker & Lee Review of plans for a building identification sign for the 2-story office building at the southeast corner of Sage Lane and Highway 111 (C-1, S.P.) It was moved by Mr. Hobbs and seconded by Mr. Leung that the plans be rejected. Motion carried 4-0 (Hobbs, Leung, Minturn, and Urrutia). The Board was concerned that the design of the sign was not consistent with the architecture of the structure; the letter size and letter material was not compatible with the building; and that the sign should have some background or outline. The Board agreed with staff that the sign should not be internally lit. The Board also did not favor lo- cating the sign on the central column and indicated that a wood or metal sign would be more appropriate. The colors chosen were felt to have changed the sign from a building identification sign to more advertising for the Walker & Lee office. VII.
