ARB approves 700 Linden Project sign program

Assistant Editor CVN

Carpinteria's Architectural Review Board unanimously approved the signage program for the 700 Linden Avenue project, which consists of three commercial buildings – the Butterfly, the Butler and Hardware buildings – at the center of Carpinteria's downtown.

The sign program for the 700 Linden Avenue project would dictate the size, font, color, location and design of any sign put up by future tenants of the development. The sign program also takes into account the distinct characteristics of each building, such as murals or similar graphics.

"We wanted to identify any area where a tenant could put a sign," said principal DMHA architect Michael Stroh.

The 700 Linden Project sign program lays out specifics for blade and awning signs, which generally must follow the mid-century modern aesthetic to blend with the rest of the building. Signs must also be non-illuminated, though there are some exceptions for backlighting.

The sign program's purpose is to ensure all signage meshes with the look and feel of the development, is able to be read at an appropriate distance and does not overwhelm the look of the buildings.
