DEPARTMENT REPORT
January 7, 2003
1. Docket No. 141-02 ADLS Amend; Fountains Plaza - 500 East Carmel Drive
Petitioner seeks amended Architectural Design, Lighting, Landscaping & Signage approval to
install a new ground sign, landscaping islands and lighting standards. The site is located at 500
East Cannel Drive. The site is zoned B-8 Business.
Filed by Brad Barns ofBams Investment Company.
The applicant is requesting approval to revise signage, landscaping and lighting within the
parking area located at 500 East Carmel Drive.
This item was discussed at the last November 2002 Committee meeting and the applicant was
directed to respond to the following Department concerns:
1. The size sign proposed is 67.7 square feet in size. The ordinance permits a 45 square foot
sign. A Variance would be required to allow a sign of the size proposed. Identify right-
of-way line on the plans and illustrate distance sign is from that line.
2. Request that the applicant provide an accurate cut sheet for the lights or a photo of the
fixtures as installed. Flat lens fixtures are recommended.
3. Request that the applicant provide more detailed landscape plan illustrating planting
details, number of plantings, species, etc. Scott Brewer, the City Urban Forester, needs to
review these plans.
4. The existing sign face is not as illustrated in rendering provided by applicant, please
revise and or provide photo.
The applicant did not submit the requested information or contact staffto discuss the items prior
to the December Committee meeting. At that time the applicant requested the item be continued
to allow them the time to address the items. To date the applicant has not contacted the
Department to address the items and has not submitted new information for consideration.
The Department recommends that the Special Studies Committee approve the ADLS
application after all comments and concerns have been addressed.
Note: The item only requires approval by the Special Studies Committee.
