Centre Sign Program
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I. Introduction.
We represent Cornerstone Corporate Centre, which has appealed to the Planning
Commission the Planning Director’s rejection of its proposed sign program for its
project of the same name (the “Project”). The Project consists of three, three story
and one, two story class A office buildings in the Carlsbad Airport Centre business
park (the “Park), the first two which have been completed. Signage in the park is
regulated by Specific Plan 18 1 (A). Under the Plan an approved sign program is a
prerequisite to the issuance of individual sign permits for signs for the buildings in
the Project. Photographs of the two completed buildings are attached as Exhibit A.

Cornerstone’s appeal revolves around the meaning of section F of Specific Plan
18 1 (A), “Sign and Graphic Requirements.” The first three parts of section F,
“General Standards,” “Wall Signs,” and “Ground (or Free-Standing) Signs,” are
substantially identical to the sign and graphic requirements of Specific Plan 180, the
Specific Plan for Carlsbad Research Center, and were obviously copied from Specific
Plan 180, which was first approved in 1980 and was the first specific plan for a
business park in Carlsbad. The sign and graphic requirements of Specific Plan 180
were also copied into Specific Plan 200 for Carlsbad Airport Business Center when it
was approved in 1986. This history seems to be behind the statement on page 4 of
the staff report for this appeal that, “. . . these same sign standards apply to the other
industriaVoffice parks within the City.”
The fourth part of section F of Specific Plan 18 1 (A) was added in 199 1 as a result of
the Planning Department’s dissatisfaction with certain wall signs fronting Palomar
Airport Road which had been erected on the buildings within the Park at 192 1 and
1925 Palomar Oaks Way. At the time, the Department expressed the intention of
achieving more restrictive requirements for signs within the Park fronting Palomar
Airport Road than for signs within the Park not fronting Palomar Airport Road.
(During 199 1 the undersigned represented the owner of two undeveloped lots in the
Park which fronted Palomar Airport Road and personally participated in meetings
with the Department regarding this issue and in the actual drafting of part four of
Section F.)
A copy of section F of Specific Plan 18 1 (A) is attached to this letter as Exhibit B.
We urge you to read it word for word in its entirety before proceeding further.
11. BackFound,
Cornerstone engaged Holt Design of Escondido to prepare the sign program for the
Project. A copy of the sign program is attached as Exhibit C. Dave Holt referred to
Specific Plan 18 1 (A) in preparing the sign program and fully intended the program
to comply with section F of the Plan. He continues to believe that it does. So does
Cornerstone.

Cornerstone first submitted the program to the Carlsbad Airport Centre Owners
Association, which approved it on September 9, 1998. Cornerstone then submitted
the program to the Planning Department. It languished there until December 4,
1998, when Planning Intern Jordan Ibss wrote to Mr. Holt asking him to revise the
program to show only one small wall sign over each entrance. A copy of Mr. ICass’
letter is attached to the staff report. During the first few months of this year,
Cornerstone succeeded in engaging the Department in a series of discussions about
the program. The discussions disclosed an intransigently hostile attitude on the part
of the Department towards the prospect of multiple tenant wall signs on the office
buildings in the Project, which remained unchanged notwithstanding proposals by
Cornerstone to resolve the situation by reducing the number of wall signs
contemplated by the sign program. The discussions culminated in a letter to Mr.
Scott Brusseau from Principal Planner Chris De Cerbo dated March 10, 1999. A
copy of Mr. Cerbo’s letter is attached to the staff report.
Mr. De Cerbo’s letter signaled the solidification of the Department’s position that
wall signage for the Project, except for Building D, was controlled exclusively by
subparagraph F.2.b of the Plan, so that tenants would be limited to one wall sign
each over a building entrance, with each sign in letters not over six inches high
comprising no more than five square feet. This is an impossibility given the design of
the buildings and would be seriously ugly in any event. As for Building D, its
signage (whether fronting Palomar Airport Road or not) was to be controlled by
paragraph F.4 of the Plan, so that more signage would be allowed along Palomar
Airport Road than within the Park - a bizarre result given the Department’s professed
concern for the possibility that Palomar Airport Road might be designated at some
future time as a scenic corridor. In practical terms, the letter meant that Cornerstone
could not provide wall signage for any building other than limited wall signage for
Building D, so that it could not fulfill its good faith lease obligations to its tenants.
This appeal followed.
111. Analvsis of Section F of the Plan,
1. The first part of section F of Specific Plan 18 1 (A) sets forth “General
Standards” and begins with the general standard for the number of signs allowed:
“F. 1 .a. Only one single- or double-faced permanent sign will be
allowed per street frontage per tenant (except as otherwise indicated) .”
LAW OFFICES OF
STANLEY D. PROWSE
Planning Commissioners
May 14, 1999
Page 4
This means that (subject to exceptions in the other rules), each tenant can have
only one permanent sign fronting each street, either (a) a wall sign (which must be
“surface-mounted” and will therefore be a single-faced sign (see general standard
.1 .d), (b) a single-faced ground sign (presumably parallel to the street), or (c) a
double-faced ground sign (presumably at right angles to the street). Please note that
this general standard is a per tenant standard, not a per building standard. Leaving
aside size constraints (which are dealt with elsewhere in section F), one tenant in a
rectangular building with streets (or presumably parking areas) on all four sides can
have four signs. If there are two tenants in the same building, each can have four, for
a total of eight, and so on.
General standards F. 1 .b through F. 1 .g appear to be so self-explanatory that they do
not require any comment. Furthermore, they do not appear to be at issue in this
appeal.
2.
rule is again the general rule:
The second part of section F sets forth the rules for “Wall Signs.” The first
“F.2.a. No wall sign will exceed an area equal to one and one-half
square feet of sign area for each foot of lineal frontage of the building
or store. Total signage shall not exceed 200 square feet in area per lot
or comprise more than 10 percent of the area of the elevation upon
which the sign is located, whichever is less.”
The first sentence of this general rule is a restatement of the applicable provision
from Table 1 of Carlsbad Municipal Code section 2 1.41.70 setting a maximum sign
area per building width. (“All other zones: One and five-tenths square feet per lineal
foot of building frontage located on the lot;” see Exhibit D for a copy of section
2 1.4 1.70). The second sentence of the general rule sets a maximum sign area per lot
and a maximum sign area per elevation, whichever is less. (Each building in the
Project sits upon a separate lot.) Contrary to the staff report, there is nothing in this
general rule - not a word - to suggest that it is a limited rule applicable only to single
tenant buildings. To the contrary, its source in the Municipal Code and the absence
of any limiting heading before the rule or limiting language within the rule makes it
quite clear that it is the general rule for all buildings, regardless of the number of
tenants, the type of building, or the type of use.
LAW OFFICES OF
STANLEY D. PROWSE

What then are the rules set forth in F.2.b and F.2.c? They are the exceptions referred
in the first general standard in part 1 of section F (“Only one single- or double-faced
permanent sign will be allowed per street frontage per tenant, [excem as otherwise
indicated] ”), and they permit one additional sign per street frontage per tenant in
multi-tenant buildings. We know that F.2.b and F.2.c are the referenced exceptions
for a number of reasons:
a. First, F. 1 .a tells us there will be exceptions to the general standard of
one sign per tenant per street frontage, and there are no other possible
candidates for such exceptions within section F other than F.2.b and
F.2.c. (The exceptions cannot be in part 4, “Fronting Palomar Airport
Road,” because parts one through three are the same in all three specific
plans mentioned in the Introduction above, including the reference in
F. 1 .a to exceptions, but only Plan 180(A) has a part four.)
b. Second, unlike the rule in F.2.a, the rules in F.2.b and F.2.c are
permissive, not mandatory, using the verb “may” instead of the verb
“will. 77
c. Third, F.2.b and F.2.c refer to a particular type of product, a multi-
tenant building - typically a concrete tilt-up - with a seDarate entrance
for each tenant. Contrary to the staff report, the issue here is not
multiple tenants but multiple and separate entrances. This should be
obvious from the fact that F.2.b speaks of a relatively small “wall sign
over the entrance, to identify the tenant” in the case of industrial or
office multi-tenant buildings (the tenant’s own entrance, which will be
easier to find with the tenant’s own name over it, since there is no
common entrance with a suite directory), and from the fact that F.2.c
speaks of a relatively small sign on the “business face” of the tenant in
the case of commercial multi-tenant buildings (again marking the
tenant’s entrance for potential customers).
d. Fourth, the additional sign per tenant permitted by F.2.b and F.2.c
makes logical sense. F.2.b tells us that a tenant in a multi-tenant
building used for industrial or office purposes can have (I) a ground sign
(either single- or double-faced) a a (presumably large) wall sign and (ii)
a small wall sign over its individual entrance stating its company name
in six inch high letters, as long as the “total signage” wall sign
LAW OFFICES OF
STANLEY D. PROWSE
Planning Commissioners

Page 6
maximums of the second sentence of the general rule in F.2.a are not
exceeded for the building as a whole or the elevation in question. Thus,
the industrial or office tenant may announce its presence to distant
passersby, who will also be able to find the tenant’s entrance easily once
they are within the parking lot. F.2.c tells us that a tenant like a deli or
an office supply store in a multi-tenant building used for commercial
purposes may have (I) a ground sign (either single- or double-faced) at
the street and (ii) one wall sign on its business face of no more than
thirty-five square feet, again as long as the “total signage” wall sign
maximums of the second sentence of the general rule in F.2.a are not
exceeded for the building as a whole or the elevation in question. Thus,
the commercial tenant may announce its presence to distant passersby,
who will also be able to find the tenant’s entrance easily once they are
within the parking lot.
e. Fifth, the tangible evidence shows that the Planning Department has
not applied parts 1 through 3 of section F as if they say what the staff
report contends they say:
(i) Without any textual evidence, the staff report contends
that F.2.a is not a general rule for all buildings regardless of
type or number of tenants, but a limited rule applicable only to
single tenant buildings, and that F.2.b and F.2.c are similarly
limited rules applicable only to multiple tenant buildings,
(F.2.b for industrial and office and F.2.c for commercial), so
that office building tenants are limited to “a wall sign over the
entrance” spelling out their company name in letters no more
than six inches high and taking up no more that five square
feet. However, Cornerstone’s class A office buildings - like all
the other class A office buildings in the world - are not
designed with separate tenant entrances suitable for mounting
one of such signs, or with common entrances suitable for
mounting a set of such signs. (The staff report uses the term
multi-tenant building as if it were synonymous with the term
multiple tenant building. It is not. A multi-tenant building is
a term of art in the building industry and means a building
with multiple tenants and with a separate entrance for each of
LAW OFFICES OF
STANLEY D. PROWSE
Planning Commissioners
May 14, 1999
Page 7
the tenants. We use the term multiple tenant building to
describe all buildings with multiple tenants, including multi-
tenant buildings and office buildings with one or more
common entrances for multiple tenants.)
(ii) At the same time, the Department has eliminated F.2.b.
and F.2.c as exceptions to the one sign per tenant per street
frontage rule of F.1.a. The first box in Table 1 of the staff
report restates the one sign per tenant rule, “except as
otherwise indicated, ” and then acknowledges that, “The
exception refers to multi-tenant buildings (see #2 below) .,’
However, it is clear from the rest of the Table and the text of
the report that the Planning Department also contends that
each tenant in a multiple tenant building is still limited to only
one sign under F.2.b and F.2.c, so that in the Department’s
eyes those provisions are not exceptions to the one sign per
tenant per street frontage rule after all. This makes hash of the
language of F.l.a, the overall logical sequence of parts 1
through 3 of section F, and the real world difference between
separate-entrance multi-tenant buildings and common-entrance
multiple tenant buildings like class A office buildings, but in
this fashion the Planning Department arrives at what appears
to be its ultimate policy objective: outlawing tenant wall signs
on office buildings in Carlsbad business parks.
(iii) The problem for the Department is that Specific Plan
18 1 (A) (like the other specific plans mentioned above) does
not in fact outlaw tenant wall signs on office buildings, that
the Department does not have the authority or power in the
City of Carlsbad to make law in the first place, and that - to
return to the thread of our presentation - the Department has
previously approved a substantial number of tenant wall signs
on multi-tenant and multiple-tenant industrial and office
buildings which are not in six inch high letters spelling out the
tenant name, and which therefore could not have been
approved under F.2.b and could only have been approved
under F.2.a. In other words, until now the Department has
applied F.2.a as the general rule for all buildings regardless of
type or number of tenants - just the way it is in fact written -
LAW OFFICES OF

and allowed more than one wall sign per elevation and per
building in buildings with multiple tenants, as long as the one
sign per tenant per street frontage rule of F. 1 .a was followed.
Photographs of such signs are attached as Exhibit E. The
Department was correct in approving them, and its mea culpa
as to “the exception of a few non-conforming wall signs that
were issued in error” is disingenuous. There was no error.
There is absolutely nothing in parts one and two of section F
limiting the number of tenant wall signs per elevation or per
building for multiple tenant buildings as long as the one sign
per tenant per street frontage rule is followed. The other
limitations on wall signs in parts one and two of section F are
instead limitations. As we will explain below,
Cornerstone’s sign program complies with those size
limitations and with the special number and size limitations
imposed by part 4 of section F for signs fronting Palomar
Airport Road.
The Planning Director’s denial of Cornerstone’s sign program stems only from a
legally untenable refusal by the Department to accept the perfectly legal provision in
the program for several tenant wall signs on certain elevations and buildings in the
Project .

Signs.” These rules appear to be self-evident, and they do not appear to be at issue in
this appeal. Note, however, that F.3.b and F.3.c expressly contemplate the possibility
of multiple ground signs per building.
Third, part 3 of section F sets forth the rules for “Ground (or Free-Standing)
4. Fourth, part 4 of Section F sets forth special rules for signs “Fronting
Palomar Airport Road.” Contrary to the staff report, there is no language in part four
indicating that its subject is buildinm fronting Palomar Airport Road. Instead, it is
abundantly clear from the language of part four that its subject is si_rms fronting
Palomar Airport Road (e.g.,“ The signs subject to these standards are all signs
fronting Palomar Airport Road. . . ; . . . the design of all signs fronting Palomar
Airport Road. . . ; All Signs fronting Palomar Airport Road shall be subject to . . . ; all
new signs fronting Palomar Airport Road shall comply. . .; Wall signs fronting
Palomar Airport Road shall not exceed . . . ; etc.). The sentence, “A maximum of 4
signs per building fronting Palomar Airport Road shall be allowed,” is consistent with
LAW OFFICES OF
STANLEY D. PROWSE
Planning Commissioners
May 14, 1999
Page 9
this proposition. The phrase, “per building” is a prepositional phrase modifylng
“signs,” not “building”, consistently with the next sentence, which tells us that the
maximum number of sips fronting Palomar Airport Road per elevation is two. This
in turn tells us by inference that three or more signs not fronting Palomar Airport
Road can be placed on each of the same building’s other elevations as long as the
total signage does not exceed 200 square feet and the signage on any one elevation
does not exceed one and a half times the width of the elevation or 10% of the area of
the elevation.
As the location map included in the sign program shows, the only signs fronting
Palomar Airport Road which are within the definition, “visible from the portion of
Palomar Airport Road directly adjacent to the lot in which the sign is located,” are
the signs on the south elevation of Building D. This means that no more than two
wall signs can be placed on the south elevation of Building D and that the total area
of the wall signs on that elevation cannot exceed 100 square feet or a ratio of one and
one half square feet of sign area per 1 linear foot of elevation. At the same time, total
wall signage for Building D cannot exceed the 200 square foot maximum set forth in
F.2.a. In other words, if the wall signs fronting Palomar Airport Road on Building D
were 80 square feet, wall signs not fronting Palomar Airport Road could be as much
as 120 square feet in area and could be unlimited in number, but no more than one
sign per tenant per street frontage (with the exception that if the building were a
multi-tenant building with separate entrances - which it is not - part of the 200
square foot total could be devoted to entrance wall signs permitted by F.2.b, which
could be on any elevation).

requirements of Specific Plan 18 1 (A). In summary, those requirement are as follows:
The wall signage specified by Cornerstone’s sign program complies with the
a. Only one permanent sign per tenant per street frontage (F.a. 1);
b. No more than one and a half times the linear footage of the elevation
in wall signage on any elevation (F.2.a);
c. No more than 200 square feet of wall signage per building (F.2.a);
LAW OFFICES OF
STANLEY D. PROWSE
Planning Commissioners

Page 10
d. No more than ten percent of the area of the elevation in wall
signage on any elevation (F.2.a);
e. No more than four wall signs fronting Palomar Airport Road per
building (F.4.d);
f. No more than 100 square feet of wall signage fronting Palomar
Airport Road per building (F.4.d); and
g. No more than two wall signs fronting Palomar Airport Road on any
elevation (F.4.d)
We will repeat each of these requirements in the following paragraphs with an
explanation of the program’s compliance with each one.
2. Only one permanent sign per tenant per street frontage. Compliance with this
bedrock Plan requirement was presumed by Holt and by Cornerstone. Therefore the
program makes no mention of it. However, such compliance seems also to have been
presumed by the Planning Department, as it was not raised as an issue in
Cornerstone’s discussion with the Department and it is not raised as an issue in the
staff report. Cornerstone hereby stipulates and agrees that there shall be only one
permanent sign per tenant per street frontage. Indeed, Cornerstone will go further:
there shall only be one permanent sign per tenant, period.
3. No more than one and a half times the linear footage of the elevation in wall
signage on any elevation (F.2.a). The narrowest elevation in the Project is 122 feet,
as shown by the seven elevation drawings included as “Item 5“ and “Item 5B” in the
program. Therefore the maximum wall signage area permitted by this Plan
requirement for the narrowest elevation is 183 square feet. As noted below in
paragraph IV. 7, however, criterion V.3 on page 2 of the program specifies for all
elevations a maximum of 100 square feet of aggregate signage area per elevation,
some forty-five percent less than the maximum this Plan requirement would
otherwise permit for the narrowest elevation. The 100 square foot maximum
LAW OFFICES OF
STANLEY D. PROWSE
Planning Commissioners
May 14, 1999
Page 11
specified by the program is some seventy-four percent less than this Plan requirement
would otherwise permit for the widest elevation in the Project of 254 feet.
4. No more than 200 square feet of wall signage per building. This Plan
requirement is stated under “CRITERIA STANDARDS” in the center at the top of
all of the seven elevation drawings included as “Item 5” and “Item 5, 5B” in the
program: “200 square foot maximum aggregate sign area per building.” On elevation
drawings “Item 5, 5B” showing first floor tenant sign areas as well as second floor
tenant sign areas, the notation under item 5B on the left side of each drawing also
states, “same as above . . .,, Note that each first floor tenant sign area is also limited
to 50 square feet out of the 100 square feet per elevation and the aggregate 200
square feet per building.
5.
elevation. This Plan requirement is not specifically addressed in the program.
However, as noted above in paragraph IV.3 and below in paragraph IV. 7, criterion
V. 3 on page 2 of the program limits aggregate signage area per elevation to a
maximum of 100 square feet. Also as noted in paragraph IV. 3 above, the narrowest
elevations in the Project are the east and west elevations of Building B, which are
both 122 feet long. As the scaled elevation drawings show, Building B is
approximately 29 feet high, yielding 3,540 square feet as the area of the smallest
elevations in the Project. Ten percent of that is 354 square feet, which is in turn
almost three and a half times greater than the 100 square foot maximum specified by
the program. In other words, for the smallest elevations in the Project, the program
permits only about two-fifths of the wall signage this Plan requirement would allow.
The proportion for the larger elevations is correspondingly smaller. Please note that
in practice the 100 square foot per elevation and 200 square foot per building
maximums mean that only a fraction of the rectangular “TENANT SIGN AREA [SI”
shown on the elevation drawings of the Program will actually be occupied by signs.
The rectangular areas are shown only to indicate where wall signs would be affixed to
the buildings if they were otherwise allowed under the criteria of the program. Please
also note that the square footage maximums per elevation and per building will
probably also result in the total absence of signs from a number of the designated
tenant sign areas shown on the elevation drawings and on the location plan, because
those maximums will probably be reached before all of the designated areas are taken.
In other words, although the program contemplates the possibility of 35 wall signs for
the Project by showing that number of tenant sign areas on the drawings, the criteria
for square footage maximums per elevation and per building will probably result in
some of the areas remaining unused. All of the signs would have to be unusually

short for the program’s criteria to allow signs in all the designated areas, even though
the Plan requirements might otherwise allow them. In short, the program is much
more restrictive than the Plan.

the Location Plan for items 5 and 5B shows, the only signs in the Project fronting
Palomar Airport Road under the definition in F.4 are the two signs on the south
elevation of Building D.
No more than four wall signs fronting Palomar Airport Road per building. As
7.
per building. Again, criterion V.3 on page 2 of the program specifies that, “Maximum
aggregate sign area per elevation [the word sign which follows is a typographical
error] shall not exceed one hundred square feet (100 square feet).” Please note -as
indicated above- that this is a general criterion of the program and applies not only to
the south elevation of Building D but to all the elevations of all the buildings in the
Project, even though such a generalized application is not required by the Plan. In
practice - again - this also means that considerably less than all of the tenant signage
areas shown on the elevation drawings will actually be utilized.
No more than 100 square feet of wall signage fronting Palomar Airport Road
8.
Again, as the Location Plan for items 5 and 5B shows, the only signs in the Project
fronting Palomar Airport Road are the two signs on the south elevation of Building
D.
No more than two wall signs fronting Palomar Airport Road on any elevation.
V. Conclusion.
Cornerstone’s sign program for the Project more than complies with the signage
requirements of Specific Plan 180(A). On the other hand, the Planning
Department’s new-found ‘interpretation’ of those requirements as set forth in the
staff report is contrary to the language and logic of the Plan and is an attempt by the
Department to rewrite the law of the City of Carlsbad. As noted above, the
Department has neither the power nor the authority to do so. Approval of
Cornerstone’s sign program under the circumstances was a ministerial act which
should have been performed by the Planning Director in a timely fashion without the
additional expense and delay that his denial has caused Cornerstone to suffer. A writ
of mandate would have been issued from the Superior Court to compel the Director’s

approval of the program if this appeal had not been available to Cornerstone. The
Commission must grant Cornerstone’s appeal, overturn the Director’s denial, and
approve Cornerstone’s sign program.
