Once upon a time, in the heart of Old Town, there was a newly-constructed, multi-story building with commercial and residential uses. This building was home to a variety of businesses and residents, all coming together to create a vibrant community.

One day, the Design Review Committee received a request for a Master Sign Permit for the building. The applicant, ACGC Inc., wanted to install eight signs on the building to help showcase the different businesses and bring a unique touch to the neighborhood.

The Committee, led by Assistant Planner Alexandra Gonzalez, carefully reviewed the proposal. They looked at the location of each sign, the materials used, and how they would fit into the overall design of the building. After much consideration, they decided to hold a public hearing and ultimately approved the Master Sign Permit.

As the signs were installed, the building came to life with each business now proudly displaying their name and logo. The community rejoiced at the new signs, which added a sense of unity and identity to the building.

And so, every night as the sun set over Old Town, the signs lit up, shining brightly and guiding visitors to the different shops and restaurants. The residents of the building felt a sense of pride knowing that their home was now even more beautiful and welcoming.

And from that day on, the ACGC 2nd and E Multi-Story Building became a beloved landmark in the neighborhood, reminding everyone of the power of good design and community collaboration. And as the stars twinkled above, the signs continued to light up the night, bringing joy and warmth to all who passed by.

The end.

Moe Hogan: Welcome back to The Moe Hogan Experience! Today we have a special guest, Swan Asbury, the Economic Development Manager for the City of Eureka. Swan, thank you for joining us.

Swan Asbury: Thanks for having me, Moe.

Moe Hogan: So, I was reading through this memo you sent out about appointing a subcommittee for the Herrick Avenue Gateway Sign Design Recommendations. Can you tell us more about this project and why it’s important?

Swan Asbury: Absolutely, Moe. The City of Eureka, along with Caltrans, is looking to install a gateway monument sign and plant wildflowers along Herrick Avenue to beautify the area and create a sense of place as you enter the city.

Moe Hogan: That’s really interesting. But you know, I’ve heard some wild theories about these gateway signs being used for mind control or something. Can you confirm or deny that?

Swan Asbury: Haha, I can definitely assure you that there is no mind control involved in this project. It’s simply about enhancing the aesthetics of the area.

Moe Hogan: Well, that’s a relief! Now, I heard you mention a subcommittee being formed to provide input on the design. What kind of recommendations are you looking for from this subcommittee?

Swan Asbury: We’re looking for input on the design of the welcome sign, making sure it fits with the overall aesthetic of the area and represents the city in a positive light.

Moe Hogan: Makes sense. Now, let me just ask my producer to look up something real quick. Hey, can you find out if there have been any studies on the effects of gateway signs on local communities?

Producer: Actually, Moe, there haven’t been any studies specifically on gateway signs and their effects on communities.

Moe Hogan: Well, there you have it, folks. The truth is out there! Now, let’s take a quick break to hear from our sponsor.
