RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2010-0368
SIGN AT 1300 OLYMPIC VIEW DRIVE
Dear Mr. Arnett,
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division. Before I can
sign off on the permit, however, the following information needs to be clarified:
Sin e: According to ECDC 20.60.020.L, the proposed interior illuminated boxed
cabinet sign is a conditionally permitted sign in the Neighborhood Commercial area such
as the location on Olympic View Drive. One of the conditions (ECDC 20.60.020.M.8) is
that "the background color of a boxed cabinet sign face must be opaque and not allow
any internal illumination to shine through." Please confirm that the proposed sign
illuminates only the lettering and that no light will shine through the sign face.
2. Silln location: ECDC 20.60.020.M.3 states "[i]nternally illuminated signs in the
downtown area and the neighborhood commercial areas must be mounted on the wall of
the building. They may not be mounted on or under an attached awning." The proposed
sign is shown mounted on the canopy above the exterior walkway adjacent to the
business. Please revise the location and attach the sign to the building's wall or change
the sign type to make it non -illuminated to ensure compliance with this provision.
All referenced code sections are available through the City's website at:

You may redline your existing plans or submit three copies of your updated plans. Please make
all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am
to 4:00 pm. If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
