Matthew Barnes here with from City Planning and Development. The ordinance two hundred sixty thousand four and fifty two, which is a council approved signage plan for the Berkeley Riverfront area. It's in the 4th Council District within the greater downtown area plan. The site that is looked to be for the signage plan is highlighted in yellow. It's not for the entire Berkeley Riverfront area. This is for the space that is strictly the current landing. There is actually two other existing signage plans within the Berkeley Riverfront area, highlighted by blue and green there. This is the proposed signage plan. It shows tenant signage is then pink. Development signage, there's blue.

Digital wayfinding signage in the yellow as well as the north facing entertainment district sign and a south facing sign. So these are the intent of the council approved signage plan. It's for creating integrating with the architecture and uniformed. I won't go over the timeline due to requested that. So proposed signage, this is the weight finding signage.

Anything over that must be transparent between the three to six foot range. The applicant is proposing off-site advertisement. They have resubmitted plans. Off-site advertisement is not generally permitted unless there's strict site locational standards. The City Planning Commission did add a condition that allowed for off-site advertisement on the digital wayfinding and Southeastern Entertainment District sign.

The applicant did revise plans today to be consistent with that language and has updated that plan. I do not know if that's part of the package that has currently been provided to council, though.
