Commission approves The Pearl’s paint and sign permit at 421 Broad Street
Summary
The Planning Commission approved an architectural-review application and sign permit for The Pearl, a proposed boutique and snack bar at 421 Broad Street, clearing paint and a 6.67-square-foot brushed-brass sign and noting the applicant’s philanthropic plans.
The Nevada City Planning Commission approved paint colors and a sign permit for a new shop and snack bar called The Pearl at 421 Broad Street.
City planner Jessica Hen described the proposal as a feminine-focused retail boutique and snack bar painted in Benjamin Moore historical-collection colors (Queen Anne pink body, Chip-and-ale rose trim and Ashley gray trim elements). The proposed brushed-brass, CNC-engraved double-sided metal sign is 6.67 square feet per side; staff said it conforms to the design guidelines and recommended approval and an SQA exemption.
The applicant described an adjacent philanthropic foundation focused on combating loneliness and delivering community programs; commissioners asked about the sign’s finish/coating and engraving method and otherwise praised the color palette and community orientation. A motion to approve the paint and sign permit with staff conditions was seconded and passed on a roll call recorded in the transcript.
