Document Description
The subject site is located at 3027 West San Fernando Road (3017 West San Fernando Road). The proposed project is the installation of two (2) new illuminated wall signs on an existing one-story commercial building: Sign 1 consisting of channel letters that read “T Mobile Authorized Retailer” and total 15.3 square feet, and Sign 2 consisting of channel letters that read “T Mobile Authorized Retailer” and total 15.3 square feet. The Project also involves the removal of existing T-Mobile wall signage and refacing an existing double-sided multi-tenant pole sign only for one tenant (T-Mobile). The existing T Mobile signage on both sides of the pole sign will be replaced
with updated T Mobile signage in the same location. No structural changes will be made to the pole sign, which will not be altered for location or size. No additional square footage is proposed for the existing building, which will be maintained as is.
• Sign 1 is an illuminated wall identification sign consisting of channel letters that read “T Mobile Authorized Retailer”. The sign totals 15.3 square feet (2’ X 7’8”).
• Sign 2 is an illuminated wall identification sign consisting of channel letters that read “T Mobile Authorized Retailer”. The sign totals 15.3 square feet (2’ X 7’8”).
The existing lot frontage is approximately 50 feet, which allows 100 square feet for wall signs, based on the allowed 2 square feet for each one foot of lot frontage, per the Fletcher Square CDO regulations (Standard 26a: Wall Signs: (Q-Condition F-1). As the total signage encompasses approximately 30.6 square feet of signage, the Project does not exceed what is allowed. A portion of an existing double-sided, multi-tenant pole sign will also be refaced. The pole sign has an approximate total sign area of 179.16 square feet for both sides, or approximately 89.58 square feet per side. The area to be refaced for the new T-Mobile sign shall be limited to 12.47 square feet per side, or 24.94 square feet for both sides. No other tenant signs will be refaced.

The project is not unusual for the vicinity of the site, and is similar in scope to other existing commercial/industrial uses in the area. Furthermore, there is not a reasonable possibility that the project would have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The project site is not located in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone; (d) Scenic Highways: The project is not in the vicinity of a state scenic highway and will not damage scenic resources in a state scenic highway; (e) Hazardous Waste Sites: The project site is not on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 related to hazardous waste sites.
