1. Applebee's Master Sign Permit
The Applebee’s restaurant at 2846 Broadway is requesting permission to install 18 signs (8 wall, 9 awning, 1 pole) which is more than the standard limit. The project includes updating existing signs and adding new ones to comply with new corporate standards. The proposal includes details about the location, zoning, and environmental impact of the signs. The city staff recommends holding a public hearing and conditionally approving the project. The proposed signage is designed to be visible, safe, proportionate to the building, and compatible with the building’s design. The project is exempt from environmental assessments under CEQA guidelines. Public hearings and approvals are part of the process for this project.

(Verse 1)
In Eureka town, along Broadway
Applebee’s wants to display
A sign program, eighteen in all
To catch the eye of one and all
(Chorus)
Oh, the Design Review Committee
They’ve got a task ahead
To approve the Master Sign Permit
For Applebee’s to be read
(Verse 2)
Peyman Kohanbash, the agent bold
For Applebee’s, we’re told
Seeks to deviate from the norm
With signs that’ll weather the storm
(Chorus)
Oh, the Design Review Committee
They’ve got a task ahead
To approve the Master Sign Permit
For Applebee’s to be read
(Verse 3)
From wall signs to awnings and a pole
They’ll make the restaurant stand whole
In GSC and CS they’ll abide
With signs that can’t hide
(Chorus)
Oh, the Design Review Committee
They’ve got a task ahead
To approve the Master Sign Permit
For Applebee’s to be read
(Verse 4)
No ground disturbance proposed here
Just signs to make the brand clear
In new materials and colors bright
Their signage will shine in the light
(Chorus)
Oh, the Design Review Committee
They’ve got a task ahead
To approve the Master Sign Permit
For Applebee’s to be read
(Outro)
So raise a glass to Applebee’s
And the signs that all will see
Approved by the Committee with care
To make the restaurant’s presence rare.
