REPORT: DAYS INN REQUEST FOR POLE SIGN
At the meet i n9 of June 17, 1982, the Redevelopment Agency considered the
request of Days Inn Restaurant and Motel to allow a 60-foot pole si9n with
approximately 100 square feet of copy adjacent to Interstate 5. The action of
the Counci 1 was to allow construction of a no higher than 40-foot pole sign
with approximately 100 square feet of copy on the property of Days Inn for a
period of three years. The motion passed with Councilman Malcolm voting "no".
Counc i lman Moore commented that he has revi ewed hi s action (of June 17 and
July 15) on the proposed sign and feels that the whole bayfront picture must
be taken into consi derat i on - if Days Inn fail s, wi 11 the City be able to
attract aqua 1 i ty tenant or a large hotel for Gunpowder Poi nt. Councilman
Moore asked for reconsideration of the vote taken at the last meeting.
MSUC (Malcolm/Moore) for reconsideration of the denial of the Days Inn sign -
action taken at July 15, 1982 meeting.
MSC (Malcolm/Moore) to allow the present Days Inn sign to continue on through
the Coastal Commission at its present size for the three-year length of time -
the sign is 100 square feet in copy area, 40 feet in height.
Council discussion followed - Councilwoman McCandliss commented that a sign
should be large enough (billboard size) to allow people sufficient time to
change lanes and to get off the freeway and there should also be an indicator
(sign) comi ng off "E" Street. Counc ilman Malcolm remarked that the sign
should be of significant size to allow people to see it before they pass the
off-ramp as studies show that people do not turn around (on the freeways) and
come back to a designated spot.
Development Services Administrator Robens noted that the Design Review
Committee's objection was not to the size of the sign - it was the height.
