color of the awning. The color palette for the Uptown Fa?ade District is earth

tones. The applicant felt a distinct color would help to better visibly

identify the location due to the fact that this location will serve as the CSU

security office for the downtown campus. A motion was made by David Serrato to

dark blue with white lettering. Sonja Eddings seconded the motion. The motion

passed.
