A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ANNOUNCING ITS FINDINGS WITH
REGARDS TO CASE NO. 23SA.
WHEREAS, the Design Review Board of the City of Palm Desert, California,
has reviewed a request by MR. ROY CARVER for directory signs to be located at the
Palms -to -Pines Shopping Center; and,
WHEREAS, said matter was continued from the special meeting of January
25, 1977, to the regularly scheduled Commission meeting of February 15, 1977,
to allow the applicant to be in attendance to review the matter; and,
WHEREAS, after duly considering the matter at the regularly scheduled
meeting of February 15, 1977, the Planning Commission is of the opinion that
such signs are not appropriate for the following reasons:
1) The proposed signs are excessive in area in relationship to the
existing signs in the centers;
2) Too much information is being proposed on each of the signs which
will result in the signs not being effective in that they are adjacent to public
roads where traffic will be moving at a reasonable speed;
3) The intent of ground signs for shopping centers is to limit them to
the advertisement of the center itself or some more generalized categories than
are being displayed by the signs that have been submitted;
4) The proposed signs would not be compatible to the surrounding areas
or the projects in which they are proposed to be located;
5) The proposed signs are not consistent with actions by the Planning
Commission on other shopping centers in the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City
of Palm Desert, California, does hereby find as follows:
1) The above represents the findings of the Commission on this matter;
2) The requested directory signs are hereby rejected for reasons ex-
pressed above.
