Commission hereby finds as follows:
The comprehensive sign program satisfies the purpose of this chapter and
the intent of this section;

of allowing two signs for a single tenant on the same street frontage, and
complies with the standards for signs set in DBMC 22.36.060 by
integrating the sign with the design of the development and having specific
requirements for signs proposed for that development.
The comprehensive sign program is consistent with the City of Diamond
Bar Design Guidelines for commercial signage in size, color, and
consistency.
2. The signs enhance the overall development, are in harmony with, and are
visually related to other signs included in the comprehensive sign program
and to the structure and/or uses they identify, and to surrounding
development;
The proposed sign enhances the overall development by complying with
the City of Diamond Bar Design Guidelines. The use of trademark signs
creates a sense of identity for the business which makes it easily
recognizable. The materials used for the monument sign and wall sign
text and graphics are acrylic with vinyl facing and stucco is used for the
base of the monument sign and the building. The consistency of materials
unites the look of the building, wall sign and monument sign. The signs
are sized to be appropriately scaled to the wall surface on which they are
being placed, and will be located in such a manner that they will be
properly centered and balanced with the architectural features of the
building.
The signs are in harmony with and visually related to the signs in
surrounding developments through the use of similar materials such as
acrylic and vinyl facing, colored trim caps and returns, and internal
lighting.
3. The comprehensive sign program accommodates future revisions which
may be required due to changes in uses or tenants;
The comprehensive sign program accommodates future revisions by
having minor changes reviewed by staff and the Community Development
Director, and any major changes to be reviewed by the Planning
Commission.
