Dear Sir or Madam:
The Carlsbad Housing & Redevelopment Department has begun a comprehensive code
enforcement effort to ensure that all A-Frame Signs and Outdoor Displays within the
Village area comply with all applicable regulations and have obtained all required
permits.
Recently, staff walked the Village Redevelopment Project Area to identify the location of
A-Frame Signs and/or Outdoor Displays. It was noted that an a-frame sign was present
in front of your business. According to our records no permit has been issued for an a-
frame sign at your location. Therefore, you must remove the a-frame sign immediately.
If the item is displayed in the public right-of-way before a permit has been obtained. City
Code Enforcement Officers may confiscate it at any time without prior notice.
To obtain a permit for the a-frame sign, you must submit an application along with the
appropriate application fee to Redevelopment staff at 2965 Roosevelt Street Suite B,
Carlsbad, CA 92008. Please come by the Carlsbad Redevelopment Office at 2965
Roosevelt Street to pick up a permit application or call 434-2812 for an application to be
mailed to you. Again, as noted above, you must remove the a-frame sign until you obtain
the required permit.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. If you need further information or
need assistance, please give me a call at (760) 434-2812.
Sincerely
Linda Holmes
Administrative Assistant

Subject: Denial of Application for Sidewalk Sign
Dear Mr. Wodehouse:
Thank you for submitting your application for a Sidewalk Sign Permit. In order for any Village
business to be permitted a Sidewalk Sign, all other existing signs must be in conformance with
the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Master Plan. Your business currently has two intemally
illuminated box signs, and the new Master Plan prohibits such signs. Although the box signs are
non-conforming under this regulation, you may continue to keep them. However, because of the
non-conforming signs, your Sidewalk Sign Application is hereby denied.
If you wish to display your Sidewalk Sign, you will need to remove the non-conforming signs
and submit a revised application indicating that the sign has been removed. Once the signs are
removed, you may be eligible to add new or additional signs for your business. All new signs
will require the approval of a sign permit.
For your information, I have enclosed a copy of the Redevelopment Agency's Facade
Improvement and Signage Assistance Program Application. If you elect to remove the non-
conforming signs and add additional signage, a portion of these costs may be eligible for rebate
through this Program.
In the coming weeks, the City's Code Enforcement Officer will be removing all non-permitted
Sidewalk Signs. Non-permitted signs will be subject to removal at any time and without notice.
To avoid the loss of your current sidewalk sign, it is recommended that you remove it until such
time as you acquire a Sidewalk Sign Permit.
If you have any questions about the above information, please call me at (760) 434-2817.
Sincerely,

RE: SIGNAGE FOR THE WITCH CREEK WINERY BUILDING
Dear Kathy and Dave:
The following information is provided to you regarding signage for the new Witch Creek
Winery business at 2906 Carlsbad Boulevard:
1. The Housing and Redevelopment Department has temporarily approved a permit for
your sidewalk sign. As soon as the new Village Master Plan and Design Manual has
been certified by the Califomia Coastal Commission, all businesses with sidewalk
signs will be receiving notice to obtain new permits to retain their signs. It is
anticipated that this action will occur at the end of the summer (1996). At that time, to
retain the signs, a new application must be signed which will include an
indemnification statement. Also, businesses will be required to submit a Certificate of
Insurance in the amount of $1 million and the signage on the building must conform
to the new regulations in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual.
2. Until the Coastal Commission certifies the new Village Master Plan and Design
Manual, you are only allowed a total of .6 square feet of signage for each lineal foot
of building street frontage. Under the new plan, you will be allowed to have 1 square
foot of signage for each lineal foot of building street frontage.
3. Attached for your review is a copy of the new sign standards for the Village. At the
end of the summer, your building signage must conform to these regulations. The
important points to note are as follows:
• Boxed Display (intemally illuminated) Signs are prohibited.
• Individual intemally illuminated letters, or Individual Solid Metal Letters, or
Plaque Signs mounted to the wall are permitted. Also, exposed neon directly
attached to the building face is permitted.
• Individual Letters painted on the building will not be permitted on the walls
facing Carlsbad Boulevard and Grand Avenue.
2965 Roosevelt St., Ste. B • Carlsbad, CA 92008-2389 • (619) 434-2810/2811 • FAX (619) 720-2037 ®
• Individual Letters may be painted on the south and/or east walls. However,
these signs must be limited to no more than 10 square feet each.
• You will need to submit for a sign permit prior to replacing or adding signs to
the building.
I hope this information is helpful to you as you consider your signage options. If you
need to discuss your signage further, please contact my office at 434-2935.
