The City has completed a review of the application for a Sidewalk/ A-Frame Sign Permit for Carlsbad
Salon and Spa located at 755 Carlsbad Village Drive.
It is the City Planner's determination that the request is consistent with the Village Review Area Master
Plan and with all other applicable City ordinances and policies. The City Planner, therefore, approves
this request based on the following:
Findings:
1. That placement of a portable freestanding sign is not a project subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
2. That all existing building signage for the business conforms to the sign standards set forth within the
Village Master Plan and Design Manual.
3. That the applicant has signed an Indemnification Statement holding the City of Carlsbad harmless
from any legal action resulting from placement of the sign on the public sidewalk.
4. That a Certificate of Insurance naming the City of Carlsbad as additionally insured in a minimum
amount of $1 million, as established by the Risk Manager for the City, has been submitted to the
City and will remain in effect for as long as the sidewalk sign remains in the public right-of-way.
Conditions:
1. The sign shall be placed in such a way as to not interfere with pedestrian or vehicular sight lines or
corner clear zone requirements as specified by the City.
2. The sign shall be placed in such a way as to not obstruct access to a public sidewalk, public street,
driveway, parking space, fire door, fire escape, handicapped access or in such a way that it does not
obstruct free passage over any public right-of-way.
3. The sign shall not obscure or interfere with the effectiveness of any official notice or public safety_
device. The sign shall not simulate in color or design a traffic sign or signal, or make use of words,
symbols or characters in such a manner as may confuse pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
