The sign being requested is to be utilized for the Centrepointe Apartments. Commissioner Prieto noted the city no longer approves pole signs such as this. A discussion followed regarding the approval of this and not allowing other businesses to do the same. Gary Quiel - Quiel Brother Signs, 272 South "I" Street, San Bernardino, indicated that he doesn't feel what his client is requesting is out of the ordinary or illegal. He stated this sign has been planned to satisfy the customer and assist them in their economic needs. Mr. Quiel also urged that the Commission take consideration due to the fact of the downgrade slope of the lot in reference to the freeway elevation, which the sign's proposed traffic would be coming from.

She reported that when the freeway sign was taken down, 40% of perspective residents were lost and they have not been able to regain that traffic, even with a 500% increase in advertising.
