RE: ARB -2018-100: La Michoacana Sign
Dear Beth,
We have received your above -referenced sign application. The application was incomplete. We cannot begin review until
the missing information is submitted. The following items were missing from your submittal:
1. Indication on the sign drawings of the proposed sign colors. If other than Pantone colors, also submit color samples.
2. Indication on the sign drawings that the raceway color will match the color of the wall to which it is attached.
Note also that the proposed design does not appear to meet the approved Comprehensive Sign Criteria (attached) for this
site. The relevant criteria are:
3. Letter height will be a minimum of 14 "and a maximum of 24 ".
• The height of the initial letter far exceeds the approved maximum. We may consider the character and conditions
of the immediate context of the site to determine if alternate letter heights appear to be appropriate. To do this, the
following items are needed; a) a revised sign drawing showing all proposed letter heights; b) a revised illustration
that clearly shows the proposed sign on the building with the other existing signs in place.
Note that if we are not able to determine that your proposed design meets the conditions of the approved Comprehensive
Sign Plan, the $129 ARB fee will be required.
PIease re -submit your sign drawings, including the missing information and addressing the Comprehensive Sign Criteria
letter height issue. (You may email the revised drawings to me.) If the missing items are received within 15 days of the
date of this letter, we will proceed with review, and the submittal date will be adjusted according to the date of your
resubmittal. If the missing items are not received within 15 days of the date of this letter, the application will be denied
and a new fee will be required to submit a new application.
If you have any questions about this process, feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Margaret MaIiszewski
Chief of Planning/Resource Management
