Planning commission approves QuinnCat master sign plan for Jefferson/Indio Boulevard site
Summary
The commission approved a master sign plan allowing larger and additional signs for the QuinnCat/Quinn Company building at Jefferson and Indio Boulevard, finding the proposal consistent with the City of Indio General Plan and UDC; staff recommended adoption of Resolution No. 2146.
The City of Indio Planning Commission voted to approve a master sign plan for the QuinnCat site at the intersection of Jefferson and Indio Boulevard, adopting staff’s recommendation to recommend Resolution No. 2146. Staff told the commission the plan increases the maximum building-mounted signage from 200 to 400 square feet, allows one building-mounted sign per building elevation (rather than one per tenant), and increases freestanding signs from two to three.
Victor Peterson, vice president of Quinn Company, told the commission the company does not sublease and expects to occupy the building this year. “I’ve worked for the company for 37 years, and we don't sublease to anybody,” Peterson said, adding the firm was looking forward to the project and its approved signage. Staff said any future tenant signs would need to conform to the master sign plan’s limits (a single integrated sign per elevation and a 400-square-foot maximum), so subleasing would not create multiple, separate building-mounted signs.
The commission moved and seconded the motion to approve the plan and then took a roll-call vote. The motion carried and the Planning Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council in the form of Resolution No. 2146. Staff indicated the project is categorically exempt from CEQA under Section 15311 (accessory structures) and will follow the usual steps for final entitlements and sign permits.
