Planning commission approves live-edge sign for Omari at 318 Broad Street
Summary
The Nevada City Planning Commission approved a 36-by-24-inch live-edge wood sign for Omari, a new commercial tenant described as a workshop/academy and retail space, with no new lighting proposed; the motion passed unanimously.
The Nevada City Planning Commission approved a sign application for 318 Broad Street for a new tenant called Omari.
The applicant described the proposed sign as a 36-inch-by-24-inch live-edge wood slab with platinum-ivory lettering on a dark stain to hang above the sidewalk near the building entrance. Staff told the commission no new lighting is planned and that the serif typeface was chosen to fit the historic district.
Commissioners asked what Omari will be; the applicant said it will function as an academy and workshop space with educational events and a ground-floor retail area. Commissioners also sought clarity about how “live edge” the sign would be; the applicant described the final piece as a more restrained, rectangular live edge rather than an irregular branch-like form.
After brief discussion and no public opposition, a commissioner moved to approve the application and the commission voted in favor, with the recorded outcome passing unanimously.
