Sign Program (SP) 26-003, Plaza Del Rio Shopping Center
Description
A request to add a secondary monument sign at the shopping center entrances off Avenida Padre and Camino Capistrano, with an exception to exceed the 60-square-foot monument sign limit. The commission continued it to a date uncertain for revised renderings and a dimensioned site plan.
Impact summary
If approved as revised, the sign will improve visitor wayfinding and help hide new EV charging equipment near the street, though commissioners want assurance the design fits the center's traditional character.

Mission Hacienda Plaza sign program and downtown design character
The shopping center's owner wants a secondary monument sign — about 33 feet long, 6 feet tall, and 40% larger in sign area than code allows — to help visitors find tenants and to screen new EV charging equipment. The commission likes the goal but wants better drawings before granting the exception.
