The Historic and Architectural Review Commission Sign Subcommittee is responsible for
hearing and taking final action on sign applications, by issuing Certificates of Design
Compliance based upon the City Council adopted Downtown Design Guidelines. This is a
regular scheduled meeting of the Sign Subcommittee, for consideration and possible action on
the following:
1. Review and possible approval of the minutes from the May 8, 2008 Sign Subcommittee
meeting.
Motion by Knight to approve the minutes. Second by Johnson. Approved 2 – 0.
2. Consideration and possible action on a request for a Certificate of Design Compliance for
signage at Lost Addition, Block 13, Lots 3&4, 7&8, .6611 acres, located at 1005 South Austin
Avenue. (CDC-2008-024)
Chair Gonzalez opened this item for discussion. There was a discussion regarding there
being too many colors on the proposed awning sign. The rule is three colors with white and
black. Knight did not like the style of the lettering or the children images on the sign. She
suggested making the letters more “blocky” and to remove the children graphics. There was
also a discussion of whether the existing awning would remain and whether the color of the
proposed awning would match those of adjacent businesses. The Subcommittee stated they
wanted more information.
Motion by Knight to postpone action on this application until the full Commission meeting
of June 26 and for staff to share the comments and concerns with the applicant. Second by
Johnson. Approved 2 – 0.
Meeting adjourned by Chair Gonzalez at 4:17 p.m.
