SCHINDLER, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REVIEWED BY: WILLIAM E. DAVIS, CITY PLANNER PREPARED BY: DAVID BLUMENTHAL, SENIOR PLANNER SUBJECT: PLN-15-00214 (PLANNED SIGN PROGRAM) – A REQUEST TO APPROVED THE COLOR, SIZE, AND LOCATION OF ALL SIGNS FOR “THE COMMONS AT GALLATIN ROAD” PROJECT LOCATION: 9516 LAKEWOOD BLVD ZONING: C-2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) AND P-B (PARKING BUFFER) REPORT SUMMARY The Planning Commission approved a new development project on the subject site called “The Commons at Gallatin Road” in May 2015. As construction is ready to begin on the new buildings, the developer has submitted a Planned Sign Program to obtain approval of the color, size, and location of all signs on the site. The proposal includes allowing wall signs, a monument sign, a freestanding sign, and directional signs. Based on the analysis contained in this report, staff is recommending the Planning Commission adopt the following titled resolution: A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY APPROVING A PLANNED SIGN PROGRAM (PLN-15-00214), THEREBY APPROVING THE SIZE, COLOR, AND LOCATION FOR ALL SIGNS ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 9516 LAKEWOOD BLVD, ZONED C-2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) AND P-B (PARKING BUFFER). BACKGROUND The subject site is 3.53-acre rectangular-shaped parcel that is located on the southeast corner of Lakewood Blvd and Gallatin Road. The parcel has a 489-foot frontage along Lakewood Blvd and a 160-foot frontage along Gallatin Road. Vehicle and pedestrian access to the site is available through multiple drive approaches on both Lakewood Blvd and Gallatin Rd. The property has a General Plan Land Use Designation of General Commercial. The majority of the parcel is zoned C-2 (General Commercial); however, the eastern 20’ and southern 60’ of the parcel are zoned P-B (Parking Buffer). Agenda Page 1 9516 Lakewood Blvd – PLN-15-00214 November 18, 2015 - Page 2 On May 20, 2015, the Planning Commission approved a new commercial development on the site called “The Commons at Gallatin Road.” This project includes demolishing all of the existing structures and constructing two new restaurant buildings. In addition to the buildings, the approval allows outdoor dining and a drive-thru for one of the tenants. The approved architecture on both buildings utilizes a traditional design, with contemporary elements incorporated. Rendering of ‘Building A’ Rendering of ‘Building B’ Surrounding properties include a single-family residential neighborhood to the east and south sides of the project site. “The Marketplace at Gallatin Road”, a multitenant shopping center, exists across Gallatin Road to the north. The west side of the project site is bounded by Lakewood Blvd. Across Lakewood is the “Downey Crossroads” project, which involves demolishing more than half of the existing buildings and conducting a façade and interior renovation to prepare for future retail uses. Furthermore, a new 3,000 square foot drive-thru restaurant will be constructed on the southeast corner of the site. Finally on the northwest corner of Lakewood Blvd. and Gallatin Rd. is a commercial development that includes a restaurant and a small office building. This commercial development is surrounded by a 46-unit townhome development. Agenda Page 2 9516 Lakewood Blvd – PLN-15-00214 November 18, 2015 - Page 3 Since the Planning Commission’s approval of the site layout and building architecture, staff has been working with the developer to create a sign program that has an appropriate scale, character, and design for the project, all while maintaining the highest visual standards for the area. At the culmination of this lengthy design process, the applicant submitted a formal application for the Planned Sign Program on October 28, 2015. On October 30, 2015, staff deemed the application complete and set the matter for public hearing. Notice of the pending public hearing was published in the Downey Patriot and mailed to all property owners within 500’ of the subject site on November 6, 2015. DISCUSSION Planned Sign Programs are intended to create a consistent appearance to all signs and to ensure that they are aesthetically compatible with the building’s architecture. Additionally, they provide guidance for future tenants on what the City allows for signage. The applicant’s request is to provide wall signs for each tenant, construct a new monument sign along Lakewood Blvd, and construct a new freestanding sign near the intersection of Lakewood Blvd and Gallatin Rd. Wall Signs All wall signs will be mounted above the tenant space that they serve. Tenants will be permitted a maximum of 1.5 square feet of sign space per lineal footage of the width of the tenant space on each frontage. Signs will be mounted either to the wall or on top of the metal awning for the tenant space. Wall signs will be face lit or reverse channel letters only, with the exception of logo boxes. To ensure the logo boxes do not become the primary sign, staff is recommending a condition of approval that limits them to a maximum of 25% of the sign area. It should be noted that no wall signs will be permitted on the south and east sides of Building A, as these signs face the adjoining residential areas. Pursuant to the requirements of the Municipal Code, the maximum allowable area for primary wall signs is 1.5 times the width of the tenant space. Secondary and tertiary walls signs are allowed to be 0.75 times the width of the tenant space. The applicant is proposing all of the wall signs be allowed at the 1.5 times the tenant space width. The ability of the Planning Commission to approve this deviation from the Municipal Code is discussed later in this report. Monument Sign The applicant is proposing an eight-foot tall monument sign along the Lakewood Blvd frontage of the property. Although permitted by the code, the applicant is not proposing a second monument sign along the Gallatin frontage. The monument sign will have a stone column that matches stone veneer used on the buildings. Tenant signs will appear to hang from a metal cladding that matches the metal awnings on the building. The center name will be placed on the top of Agenda Page 3 9516 Lakewood Blvd – PLN-15-00214 November 18, 2015 - Page 4 the metal cladding. Individual tenant signs will be aluminum cabinets, with routed out letters. The Planned Sign Program will allow the applicant to have this sign as a single tenant or have it has a multi-tenant sign. The monument sign will be 36.63 square feet as a multi-tenant sign and 37.71 square feet as a single tenant sign. The Municipal Code allows this monument sign to have a maximum height of eight feet and maximum sign area of 93 square feet. Since the proposed sign complies with these requirements, no deviation is being requested. Freestanding Sign The freestanding sign is located on the northwest corner of the site, near the intersection of Lakewood Blvd and Gallatin Rd. This sign will be 15-feet tall and have an overall sign area of 30.25 square feet. Like the monument sign, it will have a stone column with the tenant signs appearing to hang off a metal cladding. There will be up to four tenant signs, which will be aluminum cabinets with routed out letters. The Municipal Code allows this freestanding sign to have a maximum height of 24-feet and maximum sign area of 80 square feet. Since the proposed sign complies with these requirements, no deviation is being requested. In addition to the aforementioned signs, the Planned Sign Program provides for on-site directions signs and the menu board for the drive-thru restaurant. These signs all comply with the Municipal Code standards. As previously noted, the applicant is requesting to deviate from the maximum size of the wall signs. Municipal Code Section 9610.04(b) allows the Planning Commission to approve the deviations from the strict standards of the Municipal Code through a Planned Sign Program, provided the total allowed sign area of all signs on site is not exceeded. Based on the building size, the proposed deviation increases the total size of the wall signs by approximately 80 square feet. Notwithstanding this, if the applicant were to maximize the size of the monument and freestanding signs they would have an additional 105 square feet of sign area. As such, the size of the additional wall signs is less than the maximum allowed by the code. It is staff’s opinion that the proposed signs will blend into the buildings architecture since they utilize many of the same materials. Staff further feels that these signs will allow for proper brand recognition of the tenants, while avoiding a cluttered appearance of signs. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS Staff has reviewed the proposed use for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Upon completion of this review, it has been determined that this request is categorically exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section No. 15301 (Class 1, Existing Facilities). Categorical Exemptions are projects, which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and have been exempted from the requirements of the Agenda Page 4 9516 Lakewood Blvd – PLN-15-00214 November 18, 2015 - Page 5 California Environmental Quality Act. Class 1 consists of projects that involve no or negligible expansion of the existing use. Inasmuch as the proposed sign program will not expand the building or the uses contained therein, staff feels that this request qualifies for this exemption. FINDINGS Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 9610.06, there are six (6) findings that must be adopted prior to the Planning Commission approving the Planned Sign Program. A discussion of the findings follows: A. The proposed signs are permitted within the zone and comply with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Code, the General Plan, and any other applicable standards. The subject site is dual zoned C-2, (General Commercial) and P-B (Parking Buffer); however, the buildings on the site are all within the C-2 zone. Program 8.1.1.8 of the General Plan states, “Promote good quality sign design.” It is staff’s opinion that the proposed sign program will allow for uniformity among the signs on the site and ensure that all signs on the site are aesthetically consistent with the building’s architecture. This will enhance the streetscape, thus it is consistent with the aforementioned General Plan program. Furthermore, all of the signs comply with the provisions of the Zoning Code (including the allowable deviation). Accordingly, staff believes that the proposed sign program will allow signs that are permitted in the zone, comply with the provisions of the Zoning Code, and are consistent with the General Plan and all other applicable standards. B. The signs allowed by the Planned Sign Program are in proper proportion to the structure or site on which it is located. In order to ensure the size of the wall signs are in proportion with the building, in staff’s opinion, the City must analyze the overall sign size, spacing, and any conflicts with architectural features on the building. Staff believes that the applicant has minimized the size of the signs and has provided proper spacing between the signs to avoid a massive appearance of signs. Furthermore, the signs are aesthetically consistent with the architecture of all the buildings on the site. Based on this, staff believes the applicant has ensured that the signs allowed by the Planned Sign Program are in proportion to the building. C. The proposed sign materials, color, texture, size, shape, height, and placement are compatible with the design of the structure(s), property, and neighborhood of which it is a part. The buildings on the site will convey a traditional architecture style, with the use of stucco, metal awnings, and stone veneer. The proposed signs are aesthetically consistent with this design. Specifically, the monument and freestanding signs will use a stone column with the signs appearing to hang off a metal cladding that matches the metal awnings on site. The wall signs will be channel letters, which staff is of the opinion blends them into the architecture. Accordingly, staff believes that the sign materials, color, texture, size, shape, height, and placement are compatible with the design of the structure on site. Agenda Page 5 9516 Lakewood Blvd – PLN-15-00214 November 18, 2015 - Page 6 D. The sign’s illumination is at the lowest reasonable level as determined by the City Planner, which ensures adequate identification and readability, and is directed solely at the sign or is internal to it. All signs are internally illuminated, which minimizes any light or glare being generated from the signs. Furthermore, the tenant signs on the monument and freestanding signs will be aluminum cabinets with routed out letters, which minimizes the amount of visible light created from these signs. Staff is of the opinion that this design of the lighting for the signs allows a reasonable illumination of the signs while advoiding unnecessary light and glare. As such, staff feels the lowest reasonable level of illumination is being used for the sign. E. The sign is not detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare. The signs do not block pedestrian or vehicle access to the site, nor do they create a potential safety hazard on the site. Furthermore, staff is of the opinion that the design of the signs will enhance the streetscape in the area. As such, staff feels that the proposed sign program will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare. F. The sign is in compliance with Section 9624, Lighting and Design Standards. Section 9624 of the Municipal Code addresses two aspects regarding signs. The first is proper illumination of signs. It is staff’s opinion that since the signs are internally illuminated, they are in compliance with Section 9624 of the Municipal Code. The second aspect is to ensure signs are properly designed to be architecturally compatible with the site. As noted previously in this report, it is staff’s opinion that the proposed signs utilize proper materials and design to make them compatible with the architecture of the existing building. As such, staff believes the sign program is in compliance with Municipal Code Section 9624. CORRESPONDENCE As of the date that this report was printed, staff has not received any correspondence regarding this application. CONCLUSION Based on the analysis contained within this report, staff is concluding that the proposed Planned Sign Program is consistent with the goals and intent of the General Plan and Zoning Code. Furthermore, staff is concluding that the design of the signs is compatible with the architectural style of the buildings. Finally, as noted above, staff believes that all findings required for approving the Planned Sign Program can be made in a positive manner. As such, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Planned Sign Program (PLN-15- 00214), subject to the recommended conditions of approval. EXHIBITS A. Maps B. Draft Resolution C.

The signs allowed by the Planned Sign Program are in proper proportion to the structure or site on which it is located. In order to ensure the size of the wall signs are in proportion with the building, the City must analyze the overall sign size, spacing, and any conflicts with architectural features on the building. The applicant has minimized the size of the signs and has provided proper spacing between the signs to avoid a massive appearance of signs. Furthermore, the signs are aesthetically consistent with the architecture of all the buildings on the site. Based on this, the applicant has ensured that the signs allowed by the Planned Sign Program are in proportion to the building. 3.

The buildings on the site will convey a traditional architecture style, with the use of stucco, metal awnings, and stone veneer. The proposed signs are aesthetically consistent with this design. Specifically, the monument and freestanding signs will use a stone column with the signs appearing to hang off a metal cladding that matches the metal awnings on site. The wall signs will be channel letters, which staff is of the opinion blends them into the architecture. 4. The sign’s illumination is at the lowest reasonable level as determined by the City Planner, which ensures adequate identification and readability, and is directed solely at the sign or is internal to it. All signs are internally illuminated, which minimizes any light or glare being generated from the signs. Furthermore, the tenant signs on the monument and freestanding signs will be aluminum cabinets with routed out letters, which minimizes the amount of visible light created from these signs. This design of the lighting for the signs allows a reasonable illumination of the signs while avoiding unnecessary light and glare. 5. The sign is not detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare. The signs do not block pedestrian or vehicle access to the site, nor do they create a potential safety hazard on the site. Furthermore, the design of the sign will enhance the streetscape in the area. As such, the proposed sign program will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare. 6. The sign is in compliance with Section 9624, Lighting and Design Standards. Section 9624 of the Municipal Code addresses two aspects regarding signs. The first is proper illumination of signs. Since the signs are at its lowest level of illumination, they are compliance with Section 9624 of the Municipal Code. The second aspect is to ensure signs are properly designed to be architecturally compatible with the site. As noted previously in this report, the proposed signs utilize proper material and design to make them compatible with the architecture of the existing building. SECTION 4. Based upon the findings set forth in Sections 1 through 3 of this Resolution, the Planning Commission of the City of Downey hereby approves Planned Sign Program (PLN-15-00214), subject to conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit A, which are necessary to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the community and enable the Planning Commission to make the findings set forth in the previous sections. The conditions are fair and reasonable for the accomplishment of these purposes.
