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
approve the application with a variance for the color due to the fact that the
purpose of the location is to serve as a security office. The color is to be
dark blue with white lettering. Sonja Eddings seconded the motion. The motion
passed.
