55A3, Superior Signs/ Humphrey for Council review of the Planning Commission's
Triangle Square approval of Planning Action PA -90-55A3, Mike Gray/Superior
Signs, 1700 West Anaheim Street, Long Beach, authorized agent for
Triangle Square Joint Venture, 101 California Street, Suite 2525,
San Francisco, for an amendment to the Planned Signing Program
to allow placement of signs on Newport Boulevard Tower, located
at 1875. Newport Boulevard, in a PDC zone. Environmental
Determination: Exempt. The Affidavit of Mailing is on file in the
City Clerk's office. No communications were received. The
Deputy City Manager/Development Services summarized the Agenda
Report dated September 20, 1993, and showed photographs of the
Triangle Square Building and the Virgin Megastore sign currently
located on their building in Los Angeles.
Vice Mayor Humphrey explained his reasons for requesting review
of this Planning. Action, his concerns being: (1) the height of the
sign, considering other businesses in the area have not been allowed
seven -foot high signage; (2) an approximate 20 -foot differential
between the allotted area and the square footage proposed; (3) the
architectural display of the area being covered; and (4) the clutter
created by the sign which is surrounded by trees on both sides of the
tower and cannot be seen driving either southbound or northbound
on Newport Boulevard until within 50 to 100 feet of the building.
He suggested revising the sign ordinance to suit the needs of the
community.
The Deputy City Manager/Development Services responded to
questions from Council regarding the effect of the sign on the total
square footage permitted.
Mike Gray, Superior Signs, 1700 West Anaheim Street, Long
Beach, spoke in support of the application, but questioned including
the grid when counting square footage. He answered questions from
Council regarding placement of the proposed signs.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, pointed out that signs are
intended to increase business which in turn generate sales tax
revenue for the City. He questioned several items contained in the
Agenda Report, and also suggested revising the sign ordinance.
Roy Andreen, 2769,1 Cibola Avenue, Costa Mesa, denounced the
Niketown integral architectural feature as looking "ridiculous", and
suggested that the City either adhere to or abandon the sign
ordinance. He stated that he did not believe the Virgin Megastore
would be dependent upon drive-by traffic for their business, and did
not envision a great need for a sign variance.
John Feeney, 1154 Dorset Lane, Costa Mesa, referred to a 3M
survey, regarding on -premise signage which indicated that most
citizens objected to temporary and/or broken and damaged signs.
He supported approving this application as it benefits the City and
Triangle Square.
There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the public hearing.
Rick Shapiro, 2515 Holly Lane, Newport Beach, representing
Triangle Square, explained that the grid on the Niketown integral
architectural feature," which facilitates mounting onto the building,
was not counted in the overall square footage, nor were the grids for
the Sfuzzi and Edwards Theaters signs. He stated that the proposed
Virgin Megastore sign is consistent with signs which have already
been approved for the Triangle Square project. The Deputy City
Manager/Development Services reported that it is difficult to
ascertain if the grid is part of the building's architecture or part of
1
the signage. Mr. Shapiro reiterated that the primary reason for
using the grid is for ease of maintenance and installation.
MOTION/Uphold A motion was made by Council Member Buffa, seconded by Council
Approval of PA- Member Erickson, to uphold the Planning Commission's approval
90-55A3 of Planning Action PA -90-55A3.
Council Member Erickson proposed that the Virgin Megastore signs
be placed on the north and south side of the. tower, rather than on
the east side. The Associate Planner referred to a photograph taken
from the Dippity Donut's. north driveway which is directly in front
of the subject tower, indicating that the tower does not face directly
down Broadway. She stated that the Planning Commission had
given Virgin Megastore the option to choose the side on which the
signs would be mounted. Council Member Hornbuckle objected to
the sign being placed on the east side of the tower.
Gary Johnston, resident of Santa Barbara, representing the design
and project management firm for Virgin Megastore, reported that the
tower facing east has good representation from the street, and there
is less visibility from the southern side. He defined the grid as a
subtle background to the signage which can pick up the colors of the
building, and discussed the benefits of the neon sign, especially
during winter time.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, suggested mounting the
grid first as an architectural statement, and then attaching the sign
to circumvent the additional square footage.
John Feeney, 1154 Dorset Lane, Costa Mesa, mentioned the fact
that red neon has either the lowest or second lowest brightness of
any other neon color.
Vice Mayor Humphrey agreed that limiting the signs to the north
and south was an excellent choice; however, he could not support
the motion because it violates the sign code. Mayor Genis did not
support the motion, and described the Niketown "sign" as hideous.
She stated that Triangle Square, as a Redevelopment project, was
intended to be a model for the City but exceptions are changing that
model. Council Member Buffa appreciated the Niketown "sign" and
hoped that other commercial entities in the City would be as
successful as Triangle Square. He stated that there are other signs
with seven -foot plus letters, citing Crystal Court as an example.
AMENDED Council Member Buffa amended the motion by directing that the
MOTION signs shall be placed on the north and south sides of the tower, not
PA -90-55A3 on the east side. The amended motion was seconded by Council
Approved with Member Erickson, and carried 3-2, Council Members Genis and
Amended Condition Humphrey voting no.
Vice Mayor Humphrey reiterated that the sign ordinance should be
addressed as soon as possible to avoid similar situations in the
future. Mayor Genis concurred.
PUBLIC HEARING The Deputy City Clerk announced that this was the time and place
