City officials have indefinitely delayed
discussion of a proposed 60-foot retail sign to be erected on the corner of
Base Line Road and Towne Avenue.
The review was originally set to take place at
the Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday, October 15. However, City Manager
Tony Ramos has asked for the discussion to be postponed in order for city staff
to conduct further analysis, according to Brian Desatnik, director of community
development.
“It was really just a request for some
additional research on the sign issue, the type of sign, the requirements of
commercial users and various other things,” Mr. Desatnik said.
It is unknown when the review will take place.
The sign being proposed would support a
potential small retail development at the southeast corner of Base Line and
Towne. The development is located within the city’s mixed-use zoning district,
which calls for “commercial uses to be located on the corner.” The zone does
not, however, allow tall signs for those developments.
To support the potential retail center, staff
believes a 60-foot sign would be necessary in order to be seen over the freeway
grade and other site constraints such as tall power lines.
Community members are invited to comment on the
decision. Comments may be sent to PO Box 880, Claremont, CA 91711. For more
