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.

BOX 2686 CARLSBAD, CA 92018 Re: Sidewalk/Freestanding Sign for Royal Palms Spirits Located at 305 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, CA Dear Ms. Laski: Thank you for submitting your application for a sidewalk/freestanding sign within the Village Redevelopment Area. Following the initial review, staff has found that some additional information is needed before the appiicauon can be deemed complete. Please submit the following items to the Housing and Redevelopment Department at your eariiest convenience: A. Site Plan - The required site plan serves as the official document regulating the location and design of the sidewalk sign. A site plan is a general map of the property identifying the location of certain key features and their relation to one another. The following information must be included on your site plan: • Location and dimension of the business building, including locations of, and dimensions of entrances and exits; • Indicate the sidewalk dimensions adjacent to the business; • On the sidewalk along Carisbad Blvd., indicate the location of the bench, public pay phones, trash enclosure and the proposed location of the sidewalk sign; and • Clearly delineate a minimum five foot (5') wide clear area over the entire length of the sidewalk in front of the business. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure compliance with the established regulations for freestanding signs which mandate that a clear area of at least five feet (5') in width must be maintained for pedestrian use over the entire length of the sidewalk in front of the business. B. Building Elevations - As a separate attachment to the building elevations which were submitted, please list the size of all existing signs on the building, including wall signs located on the front, sides and rear ofthe building. C. Certificate of Insurance - A Certificate of Insurance in the amount of $1 million which lists the City of Carlsbad and the Carisbad Redevelopment Agency as additional 2965 Roosevelt St., Ste. B • Carlsbad, CA 92008-2389 • (619) 434-2810/2811 • FAX (619) 720-2037 ^ Ms. Rose Laski 01/21/99 Page 2 insured. It is my understanding that the Certificate of Insurance was requested, but was not available at the time the application was originally submitted. If you so choose, this required item of information may be submitted directly to us by your insurance carrier. Finally, as was noted in the application material for Sidewalk/Freestanding Signs, all existing building signage for a business must conform to the sign standards set forth within the Village Master Plan and Design Manual before a permit will be approved for the sidewalk sign. A majority of the existing signs on the property appear to be consistent with the current regulations with the exception of the window signs. The Village Master Plan and Design Manual specifies the maximum ^allowable area for window signs is 10% ofthe aggregate window area. It appears from the photographs submitted with the application, that the existing neon signs in the front window exceed the maximum allowable sign area. Therefore, prior to approval ofthe sidewalk sign, the window signs must be reduced so as not to exceed 10% of the window area. Along with the information to be submitted under item B. listed above, please identify any existing signage which will be removed in order for the sidewalk sign to be approved. Once the items contained in this letter are submitted, the Housing and Redevelopment Department will continue processing your application. As a reference tool, 1 have enclosed a copy of the Sidewalk/Freestanding Signs - Location and Development Criteria, as well as the sign guidelines for window signs for your review. If you have any questions regarding the information contained in this letter, please contact me at (760) 434-2813. Sincerely, CITY OF CARLSBAD LORI H. ROSENSTEIN Management Analyst Attachments
