That sign generally approximates the size and assurances given to the developer by the City through the Development and Disposition Agreement in the Fall of 1990. The inability to have the sign constructed, in dimensions originally contemplated, is both a surprise and hardship from Alpha-Beta and the developers perspective, especially in view of the Alpha-Beta Grand Opening ceremony scheduled for June 24, 1992. Because the absolute certainty of the sign's legal size was not concluded until 12:00 noon, June 12, 1992, and after distribution and posting of the Commission agenda, it was not possible to address this issue earlier. The developer has filed for a Sign Permit to install a wall sign for Alpha-Beta that is five (5) feet high and thirty-seven (37) feet long. It does not meet the City of San Bernardino Development Code requirements. However, aiven the approval of a variance by the Planning Commission, its installation could be allowed. Because Alpha-Beta must have a lighted sign erected by its opening on June 24, 1992, an agreement satisfactory to all parties and consistant with City codes has been reached, subject to Co_ission approval, by the Economic Development Agency, DeVeloper, Alpha-Beta, the Mayor's Office and Planning Department representatives. Resolution of the impasse has been accomplished by agreement to the following: 1. Alpha Beta will install a temporary sign that meets the Development Code, a sign that is three (3) feet high and twentY-five (25) feet long totalling seventy-five (75) square feet. 2. The Economic Development Agency - Development Department will pay for the construction and installation of the temporary sign for approximately $9,750 or an amount not to exceed $10,000. This will enable a legal sign to be erected on-site on or before June 24, 1992. ------------------ KJH:SWP:dle:5774R COIIIISSIO.

Alpha-Beta, or the Developer representing it, will file for a variance to allow installation of the size sign it actually desires. 4. If the variance is approved by the Planning CODIDission, the temporary sign will become the property of the Agency 1Dlless it can be subsequently sold to Alpha-Beta under separate agreement. 5. If the variance is not issued, the temporary sign will remain and Alpha-Beta will reimburse the Development Department for the full construction and installation cost. 6. The IconOlllic Development Agency - Development Department, in accordance with its lead responsibility to coordinste and complete the project, will pursue approval of the variance with the Developer/Alpha-Beta in harmony with City requirements and assertively demonstrate measurable, good faith efforts evidencing this endeavor. 7. Assurances to the above stipulations will be memorialized in writing upon CODIDission approval. Staff has concluded that the above proposal meets the needs of all parties while not compromising City laws, the developers schedule or tenant's needs. Consequently, it is recolllllended COlllllission adopt the form motion. 0_, EDlcutive Director rtment ------------------- KJH:SWP:dle:5774R COIIIISSIOII IlUYJ.IIlj AGBlUlA lIeetina Date: J1Dle IS, 1992 Ageada It.
