PC Action Minutes 3 January 22, 2013
Worksession: Consideration of Architectural Control (AC) 12-018: Tuttle -Click's
Capistrano Ford; a request for a work session review of a proposed tower and sign
program for the Capistrano Ford dealership building located on 5.24 acres, specifically
located at 33301 Camino Capistrano (APN 668-121-11 & 14) (Applicant: Tuttle -Click
Automotive, Chris Cotter & Ed Yashar)(Proiect Manager: David Contreras, Senior
Planner . The Planning Commission conducted a worksession on the proposed
project and made the following comments:
a. The proposed tower location makes it visually appear as an "afterthought." The
tower should be relocated so that it is situated to the back of the single -story,
enclosed colonnade. The height is acceptable at either 35'-0" or 38A."
b. The proposed monument sign's vertical support structure is too narrow and needs
to be widened so that it does not appear to be a "pole sign" (The pedestal base
should be as wide as the sign).
c. A 25'-0" monument sign height is acceptable. Commissioners expressed support
for both the 12'-2" wide and the 13'-5" wide Ford logo element.
d. The applicant needs to choose whether to pursue the free-standing monument sign
or the Ford signs on the proposed tower. One, but not both options are acceptable.
e. In conjunction with the free-standing monument sign, a single Ford logo placed on
the west (freeway -facing) elevation of the tower element may be acceptable if it
does not exceed a height of 25'-0".
