SUBJECT: Holiday Inn Express Hotel —proposal to change the color of a portion of
the front and back of the building to Sedona Clay (orange) to match the
sign (Case No. 00-170)
The PRC held a meeting on Wednesday, September 13, 2000 to review the above-
mentioned project. The PRC discussed the proposed color change to the front and back
portion of the building, as well as the existing sign ordinance requiring signs to include
one of the predominate colors of the building. The building is a cream color, and the
proposed sign does not include a cream color; it includes blue, yellow, orange, and
white. Although the sign has four colors and the ordinance allows only three, the
current city policy is that "white" is not a color unless the predominate color of the
building is white. The applicant proposed to add the Sedona Clay color in order to meet
the sign ordinance requirement, but stated they would rather leave the building as it is
currently. When asked about why they did not change their sign colors, Parvis stated
that the sign is a nationally recognized sign with its logo colors and would rather
change the color of the building, than request a variance for the sign.
After further discussion regarding the proposed Sedona Clay color, the PRC determined
that painting the building with the orange color would detract from its current
attractiveness. The PRC also determined that the building was really painted a neutral
color and therefore did not have a predominate color that should be included in the
sign.
Commissioner Horlen motioned to not paint the front and back portion of the building
with the Sedona Clay color. He also reiterated that the white in the sign is a non -color
and that would make the sign have only three colors. Commissioner Happ seconded the
motion, which passed 3-0.
