Warmington Company Request: Authorization to amend the existing Master Sign Plan to allow commercial signing for the professional office building. RECOMMENDED ACTION Approval of the Use Permit to amend the Master Sign Plan by the adoption of Resolution No. 1994. BACKGROUND The Planning Agency approved the Packer's Square Shopping Center by Use Permit in August, 1978. This action authorized development of the mixed use project, retail commercial, restaurants and office pursuant to the Planned Community District regulations. Parking requirements for the center were based upon the intended use of each building. In April of 1980, authorized professional signing for the office building (6 sq. ft. max.) with commercial signing allowed for any real estate or financial institution business. An employment agency which occupies a first floor suite requested and was denied a variance application (January 1981) for commercial signing. DISCUSSION The request is to allow signing authorized for the commercial tenant to be granted also to the office tenants. The plans would authorize per tenant: 1) 1 - 4 square ft. trellis hanging sign (arcade type). 2) 1 - 13 square ft. trellis sign facing the parking area. 3) 1 - directory sign and i door sign. August 3, 1981 Use Permit 81-25 Page Two The Tustin Sign Code authorizes I - 6 sq. ft. I.D. sign per tenant, and it further states: "Signs shall be related to the standards applicable to the authorized use and development of the property. (For example, a professional office building constructed in the commercial district shall be limited to the signing authorized for the professional district.)" CONCLUSIONS 1. The proposed change will not disturb the uniformity of design of the Master Sign Plan. The 13 square foot wall signs will not present a visual impact to the area. All other proposed signs will be visible only on site. 3. The Planning Agency may review the proposal as authorized in Article VIII, Section 13 of the Sign Code which states: "ALLOWED SIGNS IN THE PLANNED COMMUNITY DISTRICT Signs in the Planned Community District shall be as approved by the Planning Commission in the approval of the Use Permit or Development Plans, and shall be governed by the criteria related to the character of use." An approval would set a precedent for all future mixed use developments, and the agency should expect similar applications in the future.

July 8, 1981 Mr. Mike Brotemarkel Director of Cou~unity Development City of Tustin 300 Centennial Way Tustin, California 92680 Re: Packers Square Us'e P'er~ft' ~7'8~18''- Tr'a'c~' 1'0'5'63 Dear Mr. Brotemarkel: The Robert P. Warmington Company proposes to amend the Conditional Use Permit to allow uniform signing throughout the entire project referenced above. We are Submitting a uniform sign plan which w6uld replace the existing sign plan ordinance 684. At present, signing.on the retail portion of the project consists of 10'0" x 16" trellis signs located on each unit with a 5'6" x 3 3/8" door plaque signs and 48" x 11" trellis hanging signs on only a portion of the building. We propose to install the 10'0" x 16" trellis signs on the west and south trellis of the office building in Packers Square, thereby creating a more consistant signing program. The center will benefit aesthetically due to the increased unifoL~ity, as well as providing better identity for offices in difficult locations. The office and retail elevations are similar architecturally and were constructed with electrical power for the future erection of identification signs conforming to the trellis signs existing on building B. There would be no exterior trellis modification necessitated by such an installation. In conclusion, the amended criteria as proposed by the Robert P. Warmington Company would provide rom the addition of the 10'0" x 16" trellis signs to the west and south facing portions of the Packers Square office complex. 16592 Hale Avenue Irvine, California 92714 (714) 549-8867 Mr. Mike Brotemarkel July 7, 1981 Page Two ThaNk you for your consideration in this matter. have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
