Ms. Cavazos stated it is the applicant's request -similar to their "stamp 'or) the project.
Commissioner Fletcher stated the In God Ne Trust" and 'Route 66" signs are not building
identification signs and they do riot look appropriate for the design. He said they appear tacked
on and not consistent. He asked if the Route 66 sign could go somewhere else such as near
the sidewalk.
Ms. Cavazos pointed out that the portion reviewed by the DRC was for tenant signs. She said
they must submit a final sign program as part of their conditions of approval. She said staff
could contact the applicant regarding their removal. She said part of their USP is to show
where the signs go.
• Commissioner Fletcher said he likes the building design, but not the signs. He said he would
like to see the USP go back for discussion.
Vice Chairman Macias said the placement of the signs could be altered and noted their sign
approval process is still not complete.
Ryan McGowan of Civic Design Group stated the property owner is present. He said they
could put the signs on a future review.
Vice Chairman Macias asked the applicant if they understand that where the sign is placed
now is under question.

decision on the sign program.

tenants.

as he will occupy the upper floor and a portion of the lower floor.
Cornrnissioner Munoz clarified and asked if the applicant is only agreeing to discuss it or
agrees to remove them from the building.
• Mr. Markman said we need to be clear the signs are not acceptable.

Ms Cavazos restated that the USP was only for tenant signage
Commissioner Munoz reiterated that this has to do with the actual design of the building and
that he needs to ask the applicant to agree to remove sign.
Roger Wong, project ownerlapplicant said the signs are part of creating a Route 65 theme -
they are not so much pail of signage program.
Vice Chairman Macias noted the consensus of the Commission and said they can approve
the design without the signs.
Mr. Wong said ok, he is comfortable with that decision. is
Vice Chairman Macias asked if there was any public comment. Seeing and hearing no
comment, he closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Fletcher said staff did good job on the contemporary design. He said with the
2 signs removed it will be an improvement as they distracted from the architecture. He asked
the applicant to work with staff to find a way to acknowledge Route 66,
Commissioner Wimberly concurred that the USP approved tenant sign placement alone -he
agreed the signs take away from the architecture.
Commissioner Munoz concurred and supported the project.
Vice Chairman Macias said he had assumed that the signage was part of the USP.

high and prohibitive. She said most of their concerns have been addressed. She said they
wanted flexibility about the artists that could be used -she said the City has no preference but
we do want recognized artists or experts in their field. She said they wanted phasing for larger
longer projects so they could install when it works for their phasing. She said overall, the
groups thought the concept of adding art adds value but they want it to i✓ak for everyone.

we reached some middle ground. Creating spaces/places falls in line with what they want to is

those funds are spent, the selection process of pieces and the design of the art.

Ms. Nakamura said we are allowed to bank the money for 10 years or the developer can
request it be returned to the developer if they are still un-used at that point the unless City
Council determines the funds will be saved for a specific. larger art project in the future (beyond
the 10 years).
