CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />For Council Meeting of 6 February 1990 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Jaime R. Aguilera, Director of Community Development <br />SUBJECT: Appeal of Colton Courtyard Date: Feb. i, 1990 <br />Sign Program <br />Background: <br />The Courtyard Shopping Center was first proposed and reviewed <br />by Staff on or about January 22, 1987. One of the first <br />issues discussed with the proponents was the sign <br />requirements for the future shopping center. At the time, it <br />was made very clear to all concerned that the City would <br />require the developer to adhere ;.o a strict sign code. <br />The developer subsequently submittea d .,:gn program which <br />would have allowed only one color and one letter type to be <br />used on both the wall signs and the pole sign. The City <br />accepted the proposal and it remained approved for several <br />months (prior to actual construction of the project). <br />When the individual tenants (Albertsons, Payless Drugs, Track <br />Auto, etc.) submitted their sign plans to the City, they were <br />rejected because they did not meet the pre -established <br />criteria. What ensued was a series of meetings lasting <br />several months inwhich the major tenants and the developer <br />requested a carte -blanche approach to signage. The City <br />eventually compromised and allowed two colors and <br />individualized lettering on wall signs, with standard <br />lettering on the pole sign. The City further compromised and <br />allowed the use of logos if they kept to the two basic colors <br />wiLh Lhe use ui oiacx or white on accent colors. The <br />developer, the Planning Commission, and Staff all agreed. <br />Within weeks, the developer again asked that Staff and the <br />City compromise by allowing the Payless Shoe Store to use <br />yellow and brown colors and be allowed more than one wall <br />sign. That company had already made a significant financial <br />investment in the Center prior to adoption of the sign <br />criteria. The developer promised these this would be cneir <br />last request and that they would uniformly impose the sign <br />criteria with no further appeals. <br />Attachments: <br />Page 1 of Item No <br />
