Dear Ms. Hoekstra,
This letter is in response to your letter dated June 11 , 1990 regarding signs adjacent
to Interstate 5. As I previously stated, it is a Planning Department policy not to issue
sign permits facing the freeway unless the use is a tourist oriented service, such as
service stations, restaurants or hotels. The uses proposed for your building are not
tourist oriented and therefore should have signage oriented toward the street frontage
and not Interstate 5. t
In your letter, you referenced other signs that were visible from Interstate 5. Signage
for the first three, Honda, Volvo and Kaiser are allowed because the signs do not face
directly toward the freeway, but ionstead to the north or south. Chapman College, San
Diego Florist Supply, Floral Trade Center, Planning Systems and O’Neal Environmental
all have signage that face Avenida Encinas. Dixon Ford and the Mazda Dealership are
part of an old Specific Plan that once allowed freeway oriented signage. Coldwell
Banker, Home Savings, Sun Harbor and Prudential-Bache are signs which were
previously issued in error. The other businesses on your list are directed to the
frontage street they are located on and not toward the freeway.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to give me a call at (61 9) 438-1 161 ,
extension 4452.
Sincerely,
VAN LYNCH
