Summary

After learning two signs had been installed without a permit, the commission authorized two signs on Mission (eliminating one duplicated Mission sign) and approved a courtyard sign at Carmel Plaza for the Halore clothing store, consistent with storefront sign guidance.

The commission approved a sign-permit referral for Halore Modern Heritage at Carmel Plaza, resolving a staff referral prompted by two unpermitted hanging signs.

Staff said the code does not explicitly govern multiple signs for a single tenant in a multi-storefront arcade, but that prior decisions (e.g., Brunello Cucinelli) have allowed multiple storefront signs when there are multiple official storefront entrances. Because two of Halore's Mission-facing signs were installed without a permit, the applicant submitted a sign permit for three signs. The commission authorized two signs facing Mission (eliminating one of the two Mission signs) and retained the courtyard-level sign, consistent with the storefront guidelines.

Staff will issue the sign permit subject to the resolution conditions and any required corrections to the sign placements to match the approved storefront entrances.
