accessibility, and independent living. Subcommittee members agreed that the building is rather
large for the area, emphasizing a need for more residential articulation with different materials,
colors,patterns, and structural reductions. Another concern expressed related to sidewalk widths
and traffic challenges.

negatives resulting in subcommittee members requesting city-wide data pertaining to lot sizes
and types, recommended codes, compliance issues, costs, limitations, public services, economic
factors and other potential impacts.

Staff introduced the proposed A-Frame Pilot Program designed to evaluate the quality and design
of advertisement boards,pedestrian access and liability concerns, permit and fee processing, as
well as efficacy and oversight of the program. Subcommittee member Matsumoto emphasized
the importance of equitable advertisement opportunities and inquired about sidewalk
accessibility, anchoring the signs, existing regulations to signage, and the feasibility of hanging
signs.
