lighted rooftop signs a bad idea

[patric]

"The recommendation for action by the City Council includes no limit on what type of business sign could be placed on a rooftop in the area.

That seems a little different from the stated goal. 

What happened to "no LED signs on rooftops"?
There NEEDS to be limits on what type of business signs can be on rooftops.

This was being sold as a neon-nostalgic sort of renaissance, not an open door to giant video displays.

This is merely allowing a different type of placement. Signage still has to go through the same licensing permitting process it had to before. If it couldn't be applied to the front of a building before, it can't be applied to the top.

Im seeing "type of sign" not "type of placement".

Whoa momma, having an adult bookstore in blue dome just got more interesting. 

But it's already 2 stories isn't it?

Wait, does this mean Lamar and company can come in and erect Digital billboards and it just has to flash the business' name on which the sign is erected every third or fourth time?

You mean like the on-premise digital billboard on the Mathes Brothers lot off of 169, that doesnt fall under the usual off-premise billboard rules?

What if we took blue dome in a more Freemont direction?? I am pretty sure the mention of something like that may have sent some of the posters on here into cardiac arrest.

Signs going up

Very nice.  Especially like the new Lees sign.

That Lee's sign is sweet.  The building to the east...ugh.

Hopefully it will breed a new neighbor.  Adam has done the Lee's store first class.

It's not the building, it's neglect. That's a nice Streamline style deco building that could be something interesting.

Whenever I see it, I always think "wow, that would make a really cool retro dinner".

I agree, the building is cool but not in its current state.
