requirements and the applications compliance with the LRV standards.

amend and update the Master Sign Programs.

existing colors for the Annex building.

the buildings, and he highlighted that the majority of the commission were comfortable with
all colors except the Monterey White. He proposed that the PZC approve some of the colors

change for the Annex building.

Struve seconded the motion and all were in favor.
