ITEM SUMMARY:
Dezarae Rodriguez, representing the Puerto Rican Cultural Center, current tenant of 102 Main Street,
is requesting approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness for a previously installed non-illuminated
aluminum wall sign on the front façade of the subject building. The Zoning Code allows 1.5 square
feet of signage on a façade per 1 linear foot of building width. The subject building is 23.5 square feet
which allows for a maximum of 35.25 square feet of signage. The existing sign is 23.58 square feet,
which complies with the sign provisions of the Zoning Code. See attached photo of existing sign.

The subject building is a 1930’s Art Moderne. Although the building is contributing to the historic dis-
trict, it is not considered a candidate for local landmark status according to the District Property Sur-
vey.

ACTION PROPOSED:
Consideration of the existing non-illuminated aluminum wall sign to determine if it fits the character of
the downtown historic district.
