Subject: Villages of La Costa, La Costa Oaks South - Entry Monument Signage
Dear Planner:
Enclosed please find the Sign Permit application for the entry monument signage located
at the intersection of Rancho Santa Fe Road and Camino Junipero. The enclosed proposal is
consistent with the Villages of La Costa Master Plan and City of Carlsbad Sign Ordinance.
The proposed locations of the signs are illustrated on the enclosed site plan and are
consistent with the locations shown on Exhibit 4-4 of the Master Plan. The proposed signage
demarks the entrance to the La Costa Oaks South neighborhoods to the east and to the west
along Camino Junipero. We have included sections from the Master Plan that show the
locations and descriptions of the proposed walls.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to call me at

7.5.3 Village Entries
Village entries are prominent design elements which communicate
identity, establish its quality and character and provide a unifjhg accent
statement to link The Villages of La Costa as a recognizable cohesive
community. Key elements repeated in the entries of all Villages are low
serpentine stone walls, similar logo formats, and specimen entry accent
trees, (Coast Live Oak at La Costa Oaks).
Village entries will incorporate an open area that will be covered in low
groundcovers forming the foreground to the entry area. An informal
serpentine wall of stone, with an average of three to five feet in height
forms the edge for the "meadow" area. The wall will have a thin stone
cap to lend a touch of refinement to the entry. The project signage will be
on a large stone pilaster/wall approximately 4.5 feet tall and 6 to 10 feet
long. The pilaster will have a slight batter to its vertical faces and be
placed at the end of the curving wall.
An informal grove of Coast Live Oaks will be placed on both sides of the
curving wall to provide the entry accent. Lombardy Poplars or similar
trees will provide a deciduous backdrop to the Oaks.
Exhibit 7-1 5, Village Entry, depicts a conceptual entry design.
