BACKGROUND
Donco & Sons, .Inc. on behalf of ARCO Petroleum Products Co.
13742 Red Hill Avenue
C-1
Change in Signing Program to Include the M.P. & G Tune-Up
Program
The subject ARCO station was originally developed under County jurisdiction
and was part of an annexation that brought it into the City in 1977. It
has an existing non-conforming fKeeway sign that was grandfathered as part
of the annexation.
Any change or modification to a service station requires a Use Permit to be
filed.
DISCUSSION
.The ARCO station on the corner of Red Hill Avenue and San Juan Street is
proposing to add a new service to customers, a tune-up program known as
"M.P. & G.". While automobile tune-ups are an acceptable use under the
City's service station guidelines, the applicant is proposing to change the
signing program to promote the service and this requires a use permit.
The proposed sign program changes are detailed below. The applicant's sign
changes are detailed first, with any staff alterations recommended after
this.
1. Business Identification Pole Sign
A. The applicant is proposing to add'a 40 square foot per face canister
advertising "M.P. & G. Tune-Up" with the existing 33 square foot "ARCO"
sign, for a total of 73 square feet per face. By definition of the sign
code, this arrangement is considered two signs.
B. Based on previous approvals, staff recommends that both signs be
incorporated into one canister with a total of 46 square feet per face.

2. Wall Signs
A. Applicant is proposing three wall signs, two on the front elevation,
which are a 48 square foot "M.P. & G." sign and a separate tune-up price
sign, and a side elevation "M.P. & G." sign of 33 square feet.
B. To meet code, the sign on the side elevation will have to be reduced
to 25 square feet. The tune-up price sign will have to be removed and
all existing wall signs will have to be removed.
3. Island Signs
A. The applicant is proposing to install small island signs advertising
"M.P. & G." tune-up.
B. The code does not allow these types of signs.
With these alterations, the sign program is acceptable to staff, and meets
the requirements of Sign Code Ordinance No. 684.
RECOFINE#D£D ACTION
