Subject: 300 NORTH CAÑON DRIVE Rite Aid (PL2000351) Request for approval for a Sign Accommodation for multiple Business Identification Signs and a ground sign. Pursuant to the provisions set forth in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Architectural Commission will also consider finding the project exempt from further review under CEQA.

Project Applicant: Coast Signs

Project Representative: Kasey Clark, AKC Permit Co.

Recommendation: Conduct a public hearing to discuss the project details and provide the applicant with an approval, as conditioned.

REPORT SUMMARY The applicant is requesting review and approval of a Sign Accommodation for multiple Business Identification Signs and a ground sign for the property located at 300 North Cañon Drive.

TOTAL SIGN AREA 190.94 SF (8 SIGNS)

Pursuant to Beverly Hills Municipal Code (BHMC) §10-4-605, the Architectural Commission may grant a Sign Accommodation to allow multiple Business Identification Signs in place of the individual signs otherwise permitted if the total area of all Business Identification Signs does not exceed the lessor of: a) one hundred (100) square feet, b) the total business sign area otherwise permitted by this section, or c) ten percent (10%) of the vertical surface area of that portion of the wall below twenty feet (20') in height and occupied by the frontage of the business. The proposed total sign area of 190.94 square feet for the eight Business Identification Signs are above the maximum allowable sign area of 100 square-feet. Staff recommends a condition of approval be included in the resolution requiring the total sign area of all eight Business Identification Signs to be reduced to comply with the maximum allowable sign area of 100 square feet as set forth in the BHMC.

Ground Sign

Pursuant to Beverly Hills Municipal Code (BHMC) §10-4-610, a ground sign shall not exceed 55 square feet in area and be restricted to the street that the business or building represented by such sign has its main entrance or address, on select streets allowed. The proposed ground sign will be mounted on the existing parking lot site wall. The proposed ground sign does not exceed the maximum allowable sign area. Therefore, the proposed ground sign is in compliance with the requirements set forth in the municipal code and its placement along North Cañon Drive also responds to the requirements in the Code.

URBAN DESIGN ANALYSIS The proposal is an additional site for this retailer which required re-branding for this large corporate retailer and the proposed signage is intended to replace signage previously approved by the Commission and existing at the site. The applicant will also re-paint portions of the façade to complement the new coloration of the signage proposed and to help unify the building overall.

The Commission will offer input on the size and quantity of signage proposed and the applicant shall ensure that all signs proposed are in compliance with the requirements for sign area coverage, as permitted in the City’s Municipal Code.

ZONING CODE COMPLIANCE Applications for architectural review are preliminarily evaluated for compliance with the zoning code. Applicants are encouraged and have the option of requesting a comprehensive review separate and apart from this application. Formal compliance review will occur when a building permit application is filed (plan check). The applicant has been advised that changes during plan check may require revisions and subsequent approval from the Architectural Commission or staff, as appropriate.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The subject project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA – Public Resources Code §§21000 – 21178), pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines in that the project includes the review of multiple Business Identification Signs and ground sign. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the subject activity could result in a significant effect on the environment.

PUBLIC OUTREACH AND NOTIFICATION Public outreach and notification were not required for this project.

RESOLUTION NO. AC XX-20

RESOLUTION OF THE ARCHITECTURAL

COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS

CONDITIONALLY APPROVING A SIGN

ACCOMMODATION TO ALLOW MULTIPLE

BUSINESS IDENTIFICATION SIGNS AND GROUND

SIGN FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 300

NORTH CAÑON DRIVE (PL2000351 – RITE AID).

The Architectural Commission of the City of Beverly Hills hereby finds, resolves and

determines as follows:

Section 1. Kasey Clark, AKC Permit Co., architect/agent, on behalf of the property

owner, WEC 98G-1, LLC, (Collectively the “Applicant”), has applied for architectural approval

of a Sign Accommodation to allow multiple Business Identification Signs and a ground sign for

the property located at 300 North Cañon Drive.

Section 2. Beverly Hills Municipal Code Article 30, Chapter 3 of Title 10,

authorizes the Architectural Commission the authority to approve, approve with conditions, or

deny design-related aspects of projects located in the city’s commercial and multi-family

districts, subject to findings set forth in Beverly Hills Municipal Code Section 10-3-3010.

Section 3. Consistent with Beverly Hills Municipal Code Section 10-3-3010, this

resolution documents the official action of the Architectural Commission with respect to the

project.

Section 4. The subject project has been reviewed pursuant to the provisions set forth

in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA – Public Resource Code Sections 21000, et

seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et


seq.), and the city’s local CEQA Guidelines. The subject project is exempt from the California

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA – Public Resources Code §§21000 – 21178), pursuant to

Section 15061(b)(3), and 15311.(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines, in that the project includes

the review of multiple Business Identification Signs and a ground sign. It can be seen with

certainty that there is no possibility that the subject activity could result in a significant effect on

the environment.

Section 5. The Architectural Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on

November 18, 2020, at which time oral and documentary evidence was received concerning the

application.

Section 6. Based upon the evidence presented at the hearings, including the staff

report(s), oral and written testimony, the Architectural Commission hereby makes the following

findings:

A. The plan for the proposed building or structure is in conformity with good taste

and good design and, in general, contributes to the image of Beverly Hills as a place of beauty,

spaciousness, balance, taste, fitness, broad vistas, and high quality. Specifically, the project

incorporates an appropriate balance of color, high quality materials and appropriate architectural

design principles to reinforce the city’s urban form and promote the image of Beverly Hills.

B. The plan for the proposed building or structure indicates the manner in which the

structure is reasonably protected against external and internal noise, vibrations, and other factors

which may tend to make the environment less desirable. The proposed project is proposed to be

constructed using contemporary building materials and practices, and, as conditioned, compliant


with all applicable building codes, including standards that protect against unwanted noise and

vibrations.

C. Proposed building or structure is not, in its exterior design and appearance, of

inferior quality such as to cause the nature of the local environment to materially depreciate in

appearance and value. Specifically, the commission has reviewed the design and construction

materials proposed for the project, which incorporates contemporary building material of known

quality and durability. Moreover, the project design is appropriate to the building and

surrounding improvements and is well matched to the selected materials.

D. As conditioned, the proposed building or structure is in harmony with the

proposed developments on land in the general area, with the general plan for Beverly Hills, and

with any precise plans adopted pursuant to the general plan. The proposed project complies with

the applicable goals and policies set forth in the general plan, and, as conditioned, designed in a

manner that complies with local ordinances. The overall design is consistent with and

appropriate to other improvements in the general vicinity.

E. The proposed development is in conformity with the standards of this code and

other applicable laws insofar as the location and appearance of the buildings and structures are

involved. As conditioned, the project will be designed in compliance with all applicable

regulations.

F. The proposed development is designed in a manner that protects and preserves

those exterior elements of the building which the Planning Commission found contributed to the

determination of the project as a “character contributing building” in accordance with section 10-

2-707 of this title. The proposed project does not include a request and has not been determined


by the Planning Commission to be a project that qualifies as a “character contributing building”

under section 10-2-707. Therefore, this finding is not applicable to the subject project.

Section 7. Based on the foregoing, the Architectural Commission hereby grants the

request defined in this resolution subject to the following conditions:

Project-Specific Conditions

1. The total sign area of all Business Identification Signs shall be reduced to comply with the

maximum allowable sign area of 100 square feet as set forth in the BHMC and as

conditioned by the Architectural Commission.

Standard Conditions

2. Revised Plan Submittal. For all projects that are approved with project-specific conditions,

a revised plan set that has fully incorporated all such conditions shall be submitted to the

project planner, both in hard copy format and in electronic format, prior to submitting for the

building permit plan check process.

3. Architectural Approval. Project approval is for the design-related aspects of the project

only. No approval is implied or granted with regard to applicable city zoning or technical

codes, which may require review and approval from other city commissions or officials.

4. Compliance with Municipal Code. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant

shall demonstrate compliance with all applicable provisions of the city’s municipal code and

applicable conditions imposed by any discretionary review approval.

5. Compliance with Special Conditions. Any special conditions that require approval by the

Director of Community Development, or designee, shall be submitted to the staff liaison to


the commission within fourteen (14) days of approval or prior to submittal of the plan check

review application, whichever is greater.

6. Project Rendering. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall incorporate

into the building permit set of plans, an updated color rendering of all building facades. The

quality and detail of the rendering shall be subject to approval from the Director of

Community Development, or designee, and shall include sufficient design information to

evaluate project compliance during construction.

7. Approval Resolution. A copy of the signed resolution of approval shall be scanned onto the

cover sheet(s) of the building permit set of plans.

8. Substantial Compliance with Approved Plans. The Director of Community Development,

or designee, shall determine if changes to the approved project are in substantial compliance

with the commission’s action. This determination shall be subject to applicable fees and

charges. A substantial modification to the approved project requires approval from the

Architectural Commission.

9. Validity of Permits. The rights granted by this approval shall remain valid for three (3) years

from the date of approval, unless extended pursuant to Beverly Hills Municipal Code Section

10-3-207.
