Installation of Coronado Monument Sign by Rotary Club of Coronado at Tidelands Park

Installation of Coronado Monument Sign by Rotary Club of Coronado at Tidelands Park

The proposed project would involve the installation of a monument sign intended to be temporary in nature by the Rotary Club of Coronado at Coronado Tidelands Park in the city of Coronado, California. The sign would spell out the word “CORONADO” and be placed adjacent to the Bayshore Bikeway, northeast of the Coronado Tidelands Park playground. Work to specifically complete the proposed project would involve the installation of: • A sign structure with removable channel letters measuring approximately 34 feet (ft.) in length, 1 ft. in width, and 4 ft. in height. The letters would be constructed of aluminum and anchored to a concrete base. • A concrete base measuring approximately 36 ft. in length, 6 ft. in width, and 1 ft. in height, with below-grade footing extending approximately 2 ft. for structural support. • A surfacing material installed flush atop the concrete base measuring approximately 3 inches (in.) in height; and • an adjacent engraved bronze plaque measuring approximately 2 ft. in height and 18 in. in width with a poured-in-place concrete footing. The project proposes the temporary installation of a monument sign for a duration of up to five (5) years, with the possibility of extension. The sign height would not exceed the height of existing vegetation at the project site. The proposed signage would be illuminated through the installation of conduit at 18 in. minimum below ground. The lighting would be recessed, downward directed lighting to avoid light spillover and would not exceed 2700 Kelvin. The sign would be illuminated from sunset until the park’s closing hours. All applicable best management practices would be incorporated in an agreement between the San Diego Unified Port District and the Applicant for the execution of this project and would be implemented during the construction and maintenance of the proposed project. Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to occur in Winter 2026 and would take approximately seven (7) weeks to complete, with ongoing maintenance as needed. Equipment required to complete the project would include a mini excavator, dump truck, and hand tools. Staging for the duration of the proposed project would require the use of approximately five (5) parking stalls, and a small section of promenade would need to be blocked off for several hours on approximately two (2) separate days. The contractor would be responsible for pedestrian and bicycle traffic control on the Bayshore Bikeway and utilize safe-passage signage and safety barriers. Signage notifying the public of the construction of the project and alternative access points and routes shall be posted during the temporary closure. Due to its nature and limited scope, construction of the proposed project would generate a minor amount of vehicle trips and would require limited use of equipment. Therefore, impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation and traffic are not anticipated to occur. Furthermore, the Applicant would be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding construction demolition debris, hazards and hazardous materials, and stormwater.
