RE: PS 99-86 ISLAND @ CARLSBAD SIGN PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Lichter:
The sign program for your project, the Island @ Carlsbad, has been reviewed by the supervisory
staff in the Planning Department. The following comments to the sign program reflect the outcome
of those discussions.
The general design concept of the program is acceptable. The design of sign types “A” and “C” may
be approved as shown, however, sign type “B” and awning signs will not be approved. No sign
other than an “Island @ Carlsbad” sign may be allowed on building 1 facing College Boulevard.
The design and locations of the remaining sign types, “D” through “G” may be approved, however,
with a change in the maximum size allowed. Sign types “D” and “F” shall be limited to 0.6 square
feet per linear foot of tenant space frontage. Sign type “G” shall be limited to 2 square feet and type . “E” shall be limited to 5 square feet. These ratios result in upstairs office signage varying in size
from 23 to 45 square feet and downstairs commercial signage from 12 to 20 square feet.
Although these determinations result in an overall reduction in square feet of what was proposed in
the Island @ Carlsbad sign program, we do believe that the overall allowed signage is more than the
strictest reading of the Carlsbad Research Center Specific Plan (SP 180) would allow. SP 180
allows for surface mounted “commercial” wall signs up to 35 square feet, an aggregate maximum of
200 square feet per building, six inch high “office” signage, and project monument signage.
Please revise the sign program exhibits accordingly and return them to me for approval. Be sure to
show all lease spaces and the location and identity of each proposed sign.
If you should have any questions, please contact me at (760) 438-l 161 extension 4448.
Sincerely,
Associate Planner
