THE PROPOSED SIGN IS A SET OF L E D ILLUMINATED CHANNEL LETTERS MOUNTED ON A TWO INCH METAL FRAME AGAINST THE FACADE FACING THE PACIFIC STREET, BEARING THE NAME WESTDALE AND THE LOGO, THE CODE SECTION THAT'S MET.
IT IS 51 A DASH 7 9 0 DOWNTOWN SPS D.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS DIVISION IS TO RENDER BOTH THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW SIGNS AND THE ALTERATIONS OF EXISTING SIGNS WITH REVIEWED TOWARD ENHANCING, PRESERVING, AND DEVELOPING THE UNIQUE CHARACTER OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA WHILE ADDRESSING THE DIVERSITY OF BUSINESSES AND PROMOTING THE ECO, THE ECONOMY OF DOWNTOWN.
THE GENERAL OBJECTIVES OF THIS DIVISION INCLUDE THOSE LISTED IN SECTION 51 A DASH 7.101, AS WELL AS AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS TO ENSURE THAT SIGNS ARE APPROPRIATE TO THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE DISTRICT.
DO NOT OBSCURE SIGNIFICANT ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES OF ITS BUILDINGS AND LEND THEMSELVES TO A DEVELOPING RETAIL AND RESIDENTIAL USES AND THE PEDESTRIAN CHARACTER OF THE AREA.
THE DISTRICT REGULATIONS ARE IN LARGE PART INSPIRED BY HIGH LEVEL OF PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY AND THE NEED TO MAXIMIZE EFFECTIVE ORIENTATION OF SIGNAGE TOWARD THE WALKING PUBLIC.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE PERIMETER DISTRICT OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
THE SITE IS APPROXIMATELY THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE NORTHEAST OF CITY HALL, NORTH OF I 30 AND EAST OF I 45.
AND HERE'S A DISTRICT MAP SHOWN LOCATION, UH, ZONING MAP, AND THEN THE SIGN LOCATION PROPOSED SIGNS TO BE INSTALLED ON THE NORTH FACADE FACING PACIFIC.

THE THE FACADE ON THIS SUBJECT SIDE CONTAINS MULTIPLE SIGNS, WHICH WHEN COMBINED MAKE UP LESS THAN 2% OF THE TOTAL FACADE AREA.
THEY ARE, THERE IS AN EXISTING WESTDALE SIGN DOWN ON THE LOWER, THEY'RE GOING TO BE REMOVING THAT SIGN AND REPLACING IT WITH THE NEW SIGN ON THE UPPER DIMENSIONS OF THE SIGN.
SIX FOOT THREE INCHES TALL BY 36 FOOT AND THREE AND THREE QUARTERS INCHES WIDE, 230.6 SQUARE FEET.
UH, CON COLORS CONSIST OF, UH, 3M BLUE AND 3M OLYMPIC BLUE LOGO WITH WHITE LETTERS.
[00:05:01]
ENGINEERING.AND HERE ARE SOME OF THE EXISTING SIGNS.
THE, UH, PUBLIC PARK SIGN, THERE WAS PREVIOUS MEANING, UH, THIS IS THE NORTH FACADE.
YOU CAN SEE THE EXISTING WESTDALE SIGN THAT WILL BE REMOVED.
THIS IS NORTHEAST ON PACIFIC, SOUTHWEST ON PACIFIC.
AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE PARK SIGN THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AND THE, AS WELL AS THE BISCUIT OF OUR SIGN SOUTHEAST ON LEAVER, NORTHWEST ON FOURTH SIGNS OF THE, UH, DISTRICT IN THE AREA.
AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
DO WE HAVE ANY, ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PRESENTATION? MURPHY TODD, DID YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? UH, I JUST, GO AHEAD, MURPHY.
UH, ARE THEY, THEY'RE USING THE EXISTING SIGN, JUST MOVING IT OR IT'S ALL IT EXISTING SIGN? SCOTT, HE'S ASKING FOR SAY THE EXISTING SIGN.
NO, THE THE EXISTING SIGN IS ACTUALLY GOING TO GO AWAY AND THEY'RE BUILDING A NEW SIGN TO INSTALL AT THE TOP OF THE BUILDING.
AND WE DO HAVE RICHARD BROWN WITH, UH, CHANDLER SIGNS HERE AS A REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE APPLICANT.
DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? I THINK THAT WAS MURPHY'S POINT.
IT WAS MORE, IT WAS MORE CURIOSITY THAN ANYTHING.
UH, THE PRESENTATION SAID THAT THE L E D WAS BACK LIT.
WAS IT, IS IT ONLY A FACE LIT LETTER OR IS IT A FACE LIT AND A BACK LIT LETTER? CAUSE WHEN I LOOKED AT THE DE SO THE DETAIL, WE SHOWED THE MATERIAL OF THE BACK, SO THE WAY WE LOOK AT LETTERING IS IF THE LIGHTING COMES FROM INSIDE THE LETTER, IT'S BACK LIT.
WHETHER THE LIGHT COMES OUT THE BACK OF THE LETTER OR THE FRONT OF THE LETTER, IT'S A BACK LIT SIGN.
THE LETTER ARE ILLUMINATED THROUGH THE FACE, SO THE FACE IS PLASTIC, THE BACK OF THE LETTER WILL BE METAL.
SO THE FACES WILL LIGHT UP, THEY WON'T, UH, HALO LIGHT.
IN OTHER WORDS, IT'LL BE A, UH, UH, IT'S AN INTERNALLY LIT, YEAH, IT'S, IT, IT'S BACK LIT, BUT ALSO INTERNALLY LIT, ALSO FACE LIT, HOWEVER YOU WANNA REFER TO IT, THAT THAT TERM GETS THROWN AROUND A LOT AND IT GETS MISUSED A LOT.
LIKE, UH, TO WHERE BACK LIT COULD MEAN A HALO LIT LETTER, BUT THIS IS NOT A HALO LIT LETTER.
THIS IS THE, THE STANDARD FACE LIT CHANNEL LETTER? CORRECT.
NOW DID WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PRESENTATION? IF NOT, DID YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS YOU WANTED TO MAKE? THE, UH, THE EXISTING SIGN THAT WE'RE REMOVING IS THE EXACT SAME SIZE AS THAT SIGN THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.
BUT IT'S DIFFERENT SIZE BECAUSE OF THE HEIGHT OF THE NEW ONES.
IT'S STILL THE SAME SIZES, BUT WE, THE SIGN THAT WE HAVE UP THERE NOW IS, UH, IT'S REALLY OLD.
IT WAS PREVIOUSLY ON A, UH, A DIFFERENT BUILDING THAT WESTDALE HAD OVER ON NORTH CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY.
WE TOOK IT DOWN, MOVED IT TO THE PARKING GARAGE FRONTAGE, BUT THE FACES ARE REAL FADED.
SO THEY WANT TO DO SOMETHING SAME SIZE, BUT FRESH AND CLEAN AND, YOU KNOW, NEW LEDS.
AND IN HIS FACE LIT, LIKE JASON SAID.
ALL, ALL ACRYLIC FACES JUST LIKE THE EXISTING SIDE.
DID YOU GUYS HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT THE SUN? YOU GUYS KNOW MORE ABOUT MOUNTING? UNDERSTAND THAT BETTER? SO YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ENGINEERING? RIGHT? OKAY.
MY EARS ARE PLUGGED UP THE FOUND CAUSE I APOLOGIZE.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, ARE WE READY FOR A MOTION? A MOTION TO APPROVE? OKAY.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL, I'LL SECOND.
AND WE'LL DO A ROLL CALL VOTE SINCE WE'RE HYBRID PART.
VIRTUAL, UH, VIRTUAL IN PART HERE.
MURPHY YOUR VOTE PLEASE, SIR? I APPROVE.
TODD, SINCE YOU MADE PROMOTION, WHAT'S YOUR APPROVE THAT DAVID APPROVED FAVOR.
AND DID WE HAVE COMMISSIONER HOCK DID NOT JOIN US.
SO THAT COVERS ALL OF OUR VOTING.
ANY, ANYTHING ELSE? WE HAVE OUR MINUTES.
