... . _.: *Ib. <br />building. Sings #1 &#2 are illuminated and signs 43 &#4 are non-illuminated molded letters. <br />Mr. Mitchell said variances are required as no variances were previously granted. Board <br />members felt the stark white background would be too bright and questioned the color of the <br />building trim. Mr. Span said the buildings trim is a beige color and the backer could be colored <br />to match the beige trim. Mr. Mitchell said a new color rendering and color samples would have <br />to be submitted. Mr. Lopez said what is being proposed is a significant change. The backer is <br />very stark regardless of the color. The proximity of the building to the street and residential area <br />the signs will adversely affect the character of the neighborhood, integrity of the buildings <br />historic design and vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The adverse impact upon the city, residents <br />and historic district outweighs the applicant's corporate conformance. Ms. Rudolph, Ms. Bellido <br />and Mr. Raig said if the backer was painted beige they would have no objections. Mr. Lopez <br />noted that LED lights could be brighter then the current signs depending on the luminaries used. <br />Mr. Raig moved, seconded by Ms. Bellido, to grant CVS Pharmacy of 27713 Lorain Road <br />the following variances: <br />1. A 1 ft. variance for a wall sign higher than code allows (North sign); code permits 4 ft., <br />applicant shows 5 ft., Section 1163.28(c). <br />2.
