She also indicated that single pole sign as shown in Rancho Bernardo, would be fine. Council Member Lewis indicated he could agree with the sample signs displayed in Rancho Bemardo, but he indicated his mncems regarding weakening of the City's ban on off-site advertising would prevent him from supporting the program.
