Memorandum
Date: July 3, 1978
To: File (SP-146(A)
From: Dave Abrams
Subject: Minor Deviation to SP-146(A), Carlsbad Plaza
North - Sign Program.
Sambo's Restaurant is now approved to occupy the site location
in Carlsbad Plaza Shopping Center orignially identified as
McDonald's Restaurant on SP-146(A). The sign program, approved
as a condition of the Specific Plan for the Center, indicates
signs permitted on three frontages, facing west, south, and
east. Sambo's wishes to have signs on three frontages also,
but wants to orient them west, south, and north.
This change is considered minor and does not require public
hearing to alter the Specific Plan. If, however, Sambo's
desires to add a fourth sign in the future, they would be
required to get a determination regarding alteration of the
approved sign program, potentially involving a Planning Commission
hearing.
Therefore, Sambo's will be permitted to modify the approved
Sign Program (SP-146(A) by orienting one of three wall signs
to the north instead of an easterly direction.

RE: Request for Sign Program Revision
Carlsbad Plaza & Carlsbad Plaza South
Dear Chris:
On behalf of the Owners of Carlsbad Plaza and Carlsbad Plaza
South, Hughes Investments and the Waken Company, we would like to
request that the City approve a revision to the approved project
Sign Program for Specific Plan SP146(A).
Based on requests from many tenants to increase the nighttime
visibility of their signs for better identity, we plan to replace
the existing sign type "Bl" as shown on the enclosed drawings.
You can see that the new signs (B2) will be virtually identical to
the existing ones during the day and, through internal
illumination, will provide much better identification as is needed
at night. The plan is to ultimately replace all existing type
"Bl" signs; this new design should provide maximum compatibility
during the transition. You should also note that similar
internally illuminated signs are already being used for some of
the freestanding pad tenant buildings in the centers.
As developers who retain long-term ownership of their shopping
centers, the applicants are consistently concerned for the
successful operation of their tenants. We feel that this revision
will not only prove a benefit to the tenants but to the City as
well. We look forward to your favorable evaluation of this
request. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to
contact either myself or Mr. Brian McConnell at Hughes
Investments.
Sincerely,
Geoff Reeslund, AIA
