RE: PS 99-86 ISLAND @ CAIUSBAD SIGN PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Lichter:
The sign program for your project, the Island @ Carlsbad, has been reconsidered by the
supervisory staff in the Planning Department. The following comments to the sign program
reflect the outcome of those discussions.
As stated previously, the general design concept of the program is acceptable. The design of sign
types “A” and “C” may be approved as shown, however, signs type “B” will be limited to one
paralleling College Boulevard and two facing south. Each of those signs may be approved up to
24 inches in height and 12 feet in length. All “B” signs shall be of uniform design, material and
color as specified in the sign program. Awning signs will not be approved
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 “I? 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 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.
The sign restrictions should be guaranteed by a covenant which runs with the land. If a sign
ordinance for the industrial area is approved by the City Council that is less restrictive than this
sign program, we will consider a request by the current property owner to amend the sign
program to be more consistent with the new sign ordinance.
