P REFACE
This Plan is based upon the stated desires of Stakeholders to establish a set of regulations for the El Cajon Downtown Management District. The intent of these regulations is to advise all building and business owners on what they need to do to make their building fa9ades visually successful while contributing to the redevelopment of the downtown District. These Design Guidelines outline appropriate repair and renovation of fayades to increase the monetary value of individual structures and stimulate the rebirth of the entire commercial District.

In broad terms, repairs or renovations are encouraged to bring the buildings back to the quality of their original structure and design. New buildings may be designed to represent any era, as long as they fit seamlessly within the unity of the District. These regulations and guidelines specifically do not prescribe or require a particular architectural style or theme for the built environment. All building styles are allowed when the integrity and the character of the proposed architecture is compatible with the existing or historical perspective of El Cajon and the development objectives of the Management District.

Renovated and new buildings alone will not encourage shoppers to leave malls and other retail areas. More is required if Main Street is to return to the busy, prosperous social avenue it was for 75 years. The same is true for the rest of the District. To recapture a fair portion of discriminating shoppers now going elsewhere, the District must renovate and create places for the many people visiting the County Courthouse, East County Performing Arts Center, City Hall, and local businesses. Services for shoppers must be increased, and merchandise lines expanded . More inviting spaces for visitors, employees and local residents are required so that people can meet, gather, and talk before strolling or moving on. These standards provide guidance to enhance the pedestrian experience and improve the value of building fa<;:ades.

These regulations attempt to encourage desired entrepreneurial redevelopment of the Downtown District as an art, entertainment , specialty retail, and service district for the East County region. The guidelines apply to redevelopment and new construction for all properties in the District, not just those properties on Main Street or Rea Street.

Although many existing properties within the District, especially along Magnolia Avenue, do not have an enhanced pedestrian experience fronting a transparent business storefront , these objectives are adopted District wide. The guidelines are intended to advance the attempt to rehabilitate El Cajon's community , civic, and commercial core, and correct the debilitating effects that autonomous retail strip centers cause when allowed inside an otherwise pedestrian commercial center.

O VERVIEW
Adoption of District Standards for Building Fayade Renovation and Design provides regulations to refine and define the image of the District and its individual businesses by reclaiming the architectural integrity of its buildings .

SPECIF IC PLAN No. 182 - Page 23

Established design standards shall be used to evaluate the appropriateness of any and all projects.

Renovating fac;:ades on existing properties , as well as the addition of new building projects, will provide District Stakeholders opportunities to improve the commercia l viability of their businesses. Each Stakeholder is assured that the value of their property is protected through preservation and extension of historic architectural styles and elements and the eras they represent. This includes extending the arcades currently on the north side of Main Street to promote this outstanding architectural feature of the District. It also includes recommendations to install awnings on the other Main Street fayades. Each of these improvements will enrich the enjoyment of pedestrians and shopper.

The goal is not to restrict individuals, but to provide quality control benefiting all Stakeholders and the citizens of El Cajon.

Main Street El Cajon
The function of Main Street has changed little from the time of Richard the Lion-hearted. Main Street has traditionally been where most business was transacted; Main Street was where entertainment, food, and drink were plentiful. Especially on Saturdays, it was most obvious that Main Street was the social, the financial, and often the physical center of the community.

El Cajon began and expanded in much the way most American towns evolved. First, there was a rough road that became the main street. That road in El Cajon started in San Diego and moved eastward over the Grossmont Grade and down onto our valley floor. Its primary service was to and from a scattering of citrus, olive, and grape ranches. That changed in the mid- 1870's when gold was discovered in the neighboring Cuyamaca Mountains. Suddenly, there was a flood of foot, horse, and wagon traffic on the road. So much traffic was on the road that a hotel and stable were built, becoming the area's first commercial buildings.

Within months of the hotel completion, settling families arrived, building homes, businesses, and churches. In less than two years, both sides of the two-block-long Main Street were filled with shops. Most were of boomtown construction on parcels less than 25 feet vvide and built only inches back from the roadway.

Main Street. circa 1923, reprinted by permission: Eldonna P. Lay, Valley Q[Opportunity (El Cajon: Eldonna P Lay & Associates, 1987) , p. 81_.

As the only business district in East County, El Cajon's Main Street filled the daily retail and professional needs of most of those living in the valley. But on Friday evenings, Main Street became more. With shoppers coming from as far as Lemon Grove , La Mesa, Dulzura, Potrero, and the reservations, Main Street became a social and commercial melting pot of visitors, travelers, area locals, and Native Americans.

After World War II, a booming economy brought mo-car families, freeways, suburbs , and shopping centers with large on-site parking lots. Most of Magnolia Avenue reflects these opportunities. Then suddenly, main streets across the nation seemed old fashioned and out- SPECIFIC PLAN No. 182 - Page 26

of-date. The retail revolution of the 1970's left entire blocks on main streets to deteriorate.

Over time, they grew more blighted and became a visual embarrassment to the community.

We in El Cajon are fortunate that our Main Street still has many traditional American Main Street elements intact, making it a prime candidate for resurrection and revitalization.

Foremost, the District's historic buildings along with governmental and cultural institutions are in the central area, supporting a community identity and a sense of place.

Furthermore, a modern City Hall and Council Chambers, and a County Courthouse provide the District with prestigious civic buildings, adding to the integrity and authenticity of our community identity. The District's historic storefronts and contemporary institutions. The East County Performing A rts Center also contributes to El Cajon's vibrancy The importance of these buildings, their services and the district they create are reinforced by relatively new structures housing the region's main Fire Station, a full-service community center, regional library, and senior apartments, less than a block away.

N ORTH SIDE OF MAIN STREET
In the early years of the century, the invention of the automobile began to influence Main Street businesses. By the mid-1920's, the street was declared part of the State highway system. By the 1930s, this required a wider, paved street and sidewalks. But shop-fronts were in the way, forcing the State to order business owners on Main Street to either tear the front dozen feet of their buildings off, or move the entire building back. Not wanting to do either, owners were allowed to move ground floor storefronts back the required distance. But in some cases, this left their roofs, and second floors where they were. Owners began propping them up with support columns to form an arcade. This has become the District's most distinguishing architectural feature today.

Above the arcade, many of the buildings still retain false-front fac;:ades. This type of fac;:ade gives squat buildings the appearance of height to conceal the actual roofline and create a vision of prosperity and affluence. In truth, many buildings on Main Street have upper stories, which are used for professional offices and private apartments.

Frequently the business ' name or address is emblazoned on matching tile or terrazzo on the entry flooring leading to a recessed door. These architectural features are worth saving at existing locations and replicating in new development. These same features help create a visual rhythm from the fa<;:ade to another. Building bays, pilasters, transoms, and column details create interest on otherwise monotonous storefronts.

SOUTH SIDE OF MAIN STREET
A large section of the original false front buildings along the south side of Main Street burnt down during a single fire in 1899. Following more than a decade of empty lots separated by a few small businesses, new buildings began to replace them. The new buildings were designed in the newer "modern" architectural style.

Moderne, vVith its occasionally wacky lines and angles, austere pipe columns, and large plate glass windows, differs radically from the north side architecture. Nevertheless, modern buildings are a valuable component of our Main Street. Firstly, the style has its own charm, contributing visible excitement to the eye. Secondly, the buildings tend to stay within one or two-lot widths. Therefore, the scale, mass, and rhythm of the south side is consistent with the north. Finally, the street itself provides a buffer between the difference in styles, preventing an unharmonious hodgepodge of structures.

Another issue is that the original owners of south side buildings vvere willing to use high quality construction: terrazzo entries with cover base under the windows, large windows and entry doors with heavy duty aluminum and stainless steel frames and hardware. More often than not, these original elements will look new if cleaned.

All of the above elements are refined and reflect good design and craftsmanship. Equally important are color, texture, and display windows. During Main Street's first 75 years of successful retail trade, large show windows enticed pedestrians to stop and inspect the merchant's goods. What was true then is true now: windows and other design aspects of architectural elements attract passersby, calling them to come inside and see the rest of the merchant's wares. Visibility into the merchant's space was never obscured vVith tenant signage or advertising.

Extruded aluminum window sash and doorjarnbs epitomize this buildings era, circa ]955.

B RING BACK OUR MAIN STREET
First, understand that what each property and business owner does to the exterior of the building, has an impact. To get crowds back to Main Street, action is required! Improving the building and business public image and the value of all businesses in the District is the primary goal of these architectural guidelines. These guidelines guarantee that the buildings , businesses, business neighbors' improvements, and renovations benefit all District Stakeholders.

Begin with identifying upgrades or improvements that were done to your building fagade over the last 50 to 70 years. In all likelihood, those changes are what have led to the building's loss of attractiveness and value. Identifying the building's drawbacks is the beginning of restoration of the fai;:ade to its original style and condition.

As building owners rejuvenate their building fa9ades, adjacent building owners and District neighbors will follow. The time is right to invest in the integrity of storefront and building restoration. Shoppers also, will share the pride and excitement of restored buildings and the District experience . Retail malls are struggling to overcome predictability and repetition.

Shoppers are looking for innovation , entertainment , and the authentic old-time charm of Main Street, El Cajon.

GENERAL TERMS OF A BUILDING'S FAyADE
The BASE of any building is its first floor or ground floor. Whether a street-level storefront , a two story bank lobby, a restaurant , or other pedestrian-oriented business, the base includes the walls, display windows , entries, arcade, or awnings , and signs that relate directly to the sidewalk and pedestrian environment. Many of the District's fa9ades retain the original materials and feature in their bases. Others have been covered over.

The UPPER STORIES of buildings provide space for offices or apartments. The architectural feature separating the base from the upper stories is a cornice or beltline, which can be made of wood , cement, or plaster, and runs horizontally across the width of the building. Generally, a cornice is no lower than 12 feet and no higher than 20 feet from the street level. A change in material used on the base and the upper stories above is not unusual. Buildings with false fronts can also have separat ing cornices.

The TOP of a building is defined by the parapet. The parapet is the plain or ornamenta l border that hides a roof's edge. The parapet is a design feature rather than a structural one, but is important in giving a building a finished appearance. Many of the tops of historic Main Street buildings have ornamental parapets.

Another feature of an upper floor {or floors) of the facade is the placement , size, and shape, of windows , which identifies those areas as living or office space.

CORNER ANCHOR BUILDINGS
Corner buildings establish the beginnings and ends of blocks of buildings. Corner buildings visually anchor themselves and everything in between with their size and massing. Because corner buildings are exposed on two sides, their two fai:;;ades are generally taller and larger than "infill" buildings, giving corner buildings a grander, more imposing, appearance.

Corner buildings should maintain the buildingfar;ade at the PROPERTY LINE .

SPECIFIC PLAN No. 182- Page 32

INFILL BUILDINGS
Constructed side-by-side between corner buildings, individual infill buildings are generally smaller and lower. On our Main Street, they are further defined by the narrowness of lots - 50 feet long lots behind 25-foot wide fac;:ades. The uniformity of Main Street setbacks fortifies a classic sense of order, scale, and visual unity.

Although size and detail of windows and openings vary between facades, the overall scale of all of the buildingfafades is the same.

Building variety vvithin that unity can provide even more interest through the use of renovated or new parapet designs , textures, columns , reveals and colors.

Detailed Guideline Requirements

NEW CONSTRUCTION
New construction must respect the authenticity of historic Main Street District styles and architecture. New buildings must be compatible vvith the scale, materials, color and texture of original buildings on either side, and shall contain contextual design aspects of El Cajon's historic commercial Main Street architecture.

RENOVATION & REPAIR
Renovation and repair shall match or replicate the design and construction of the original building to recreate its original character. Introducing new designs or changing the original design of the existing fai:;:ade is not allo\11/ed, except upon approval of an Administrative Zoning Permit. Repair of original deteriorating architecture includes removal of shoddy or inappropriate add-ons that replaced or covered up the original construction.

SPECIFIC PLAN No. 182 - Page 35

A caveat here is that not all original Main Street architecture is either unique to El Cajon or even contributes to the character of the District. For such buildings, more design leeway will be allowed to contribute to the spirit of District redevelopment.

H EIGHT LIMITS FOR NEW BUILDINGS AND FLOOR ADDITIONS
All new buildings are to be in accord with the architectural and historic character of District standards. New structures may reach maximum allowable heights as defined in the City's zoning ordinance, or otherwise permitted by Specific Plan No. 182. Specifically, these Guidelines encourage the following design criteria:

1. Buildings should maintain a continuous vertical fa9ade and not introduce setbacks of upper floors along the street fa9ade.

2. Excess building ornamentation, massing and form, or building elements above 45 feet are not to visually disrupt or adversely affect neighboring views, or in any other way significantly compromise the scale and character of adjacent fa9ades.

3. Addition of second and third floors are encouraged above ground floor areas, provided their fa9ades repeat the proportion and detail of the ground floor's fa9ade.

4. Fa9ades and elements exceeding 4 feet in height shall continue the traditional vertical design of proportionate and symmetrically stacked window openings, building bays, and other details of historic District buildings.

5. On parcels of 10,000 square feet or more, projects should regulate or adjust building heights for variation in accordance with historic District lot pattern widths. Projects will also correlate building mass and form to adjacent structures.

Coirllll6rai.aJ. Ground Fl.oar
Roof forms or parapets topping new construction are to be understated in design and always subordinate to elements, features and forms of historic rooflines.

Elevator penthouses and attic features are to be set back from the fa9ade and should cover no more than 30% of the rooftop area. They are to be subordinate in architectural importance to the main building fa9ade below and are not to be visible from any of the surrounding streets.

FACADE MATERIALS AND FABRIC
The District's historic buildings are generally constructed of substantial highly finished natural materials. Predominantly VvOod, brick, aluminum, stucco, tile, and terrazzo are typical building materials in the District. New buildings are to maintain that same quality of materials and construction.

Colors and lighting are to be used to discreetly complement natural materials and highlight architectural forms and details. Buildings should have storefront lighting to help project building and merchant appearance as well as to contribute to a secure, well-lit nighttime environment. However, lighting should be carefully designed not to project onto other buildings or into public sidewalk areas.

The following criteria should be considered when developing these elements:

1. Brick, stone, granite, masonry, or smooth and sand plasters are recommended facing materials. Plaster detailing, on the other hand is allowable when needed to limit or define large areas of flat building faces.

SPECIFIC PLAN No. 182 - Page 37

2. Window sill plate and cornice detailing can be of ornamental sheet metal, carved or cast stone, tile, brick, stucco, paint, or terracotta. Wood, when appropriate, is to be carefully sealed and finished to prevent maintenance problems.

3. Framing element on storefronts - such as head, jamb, rail and stiles - may be painted wood, cast iron, or other highly finished, substantial materials.

4. Window frames are to be painted wood, painted steel sashes, or high quality natural metal finishes. Neutral aluminum storefront and window systems shall match existing styles.

NOT APPROVED:

1. Residential finishes such as plywood, siding, wood shingles, and "lace" plaster finishes will not be approved.

2. Inappropriate modern - rectangular shape, extruded aluminum storefront sections will not be approved for ground floor storefronts.

COLORS
Building colors used between 1870 and 1950 celebrated developments within the building and paint industry. In El Cajon, the colors used were light, tending toward pastels. Sharper accent colors on wainscots and doors, and around display windows, transoms, and other details provided interest and composition. Variations of color within a range add life and interest to the street ambience while monochromatic color schemes lack interest.

The following criteria should be considered when developing these elements:

1. Brick or stone is to be natural and unpainted.

2. Painted plaster walls, fronts, pilasters, and columns shall be in light tones. Paint colors include pastels, pale blues, greens pinks, and ochre, along with more sophisticated colors such as varying shades of white, beige, and taupe.

3. Accent colors (wainscots, detailing, frames, doors) are to correlate to the base color of walls.

4. Ceilings and soffits are to be light-colored.

5. Selections of building colors are to complement colors used on adjacent buildings.

6. Color schemes, along with samples of materials are to be submitted for review and approval in conjunction with applicable development review process before being applied.

SPECIFIC PLAN No. 182- Page 38

CORNICES & FAyADE APPLICATIONS
Shapes and forms of building cornices establish a building's scale and proportion. Renovated or repaired cornice ornamentation is to establish building style and character consistent with the architecture of the District. New construction will adopt and replicate the various styles, forms, and massing seen in the District. The width of new cornices and building fa9ades are to be compatible with the scale, materials, color, and texture of adjacent historic buildings.

The following criteria should be considered when developing these elements:

1. Cornice heights are to be compatible with existing commercial buildings, except when the addition of a second floor is to be used for residential or office space.

Third floor additions are encouraged for residential uses.

2. Existing buildings having uninterrupted parapet and rooflines and large, blank fa9ades can be embellished with moldings and ornamentation in keeping with the original architectural spirit of the building.

3. Building signs and murals, when allowed, are an effective technique in embellishing blank fayades.

4. Pilasters and cornices may be used to relieve flat areas on a fayade.

5. Use of masonry and plaster are encouraged for embellishment as they add interesting color variation in brick definition , pattern, profile, texture and shape.

6. Additional detail materials - metal, cast masonry, concrete, and tile are permitted provided that the integrity of design is maintained.

DISPLAY WINDOWS AND GLAZING
The value of visibility cannot be overstated: clear, uncluttered display windows encourage pedestrians to linger, then come inside. Storefronts must retain a building's original display window(s) as primary features of the fayade. Entries should be recessed; window framing should meet with door framing to provide large viewing areas and an unobstructed view into store interiors.

When the original storefront exists, preservation and repair of the original elements is recommended. Restoration should be based upon accurate duplication of features, substantiated by historically accurate written records or pictorial evidence.

In renovating, i ntroducing a storefront that significantly alters the original character of the building, or one that significantly alters the relationship of the building to the sidewalk and street is to be avoided.

The following criteria should be considered when developing these elements:

SPECIF IC PLAN No. 182 - Page 39

1. Display windows should not to be used for graphic advertisement, banners, or signs, which obscure the interior of the building or its merchandise. Business signage applied to storefront windows should not cover or obscure more than 15% of the glazed area. Storefront business signage should identify the name of the business and type of business or service provided. Storefront business signage should have clear, readable typeface, and conform to the City's sign ordinance.

2. Display windows are to retain the building's original widow sash and size proportions, as well as keeping the original glazing glass type. Exceptions will be allowed for building code compliance. When original windows have been covered or altered, restoring or recreating original window size with new or restored sash elements and glazing is recommended.

3. When window elements have been altered or remodeled, all incompatible construction is to be removed, and replicas of the original elements installed.

4. New display windows are to be compatible with the design and construction integrity of the building as a whole, as well as related to the building's original character.

5. New modernization equipment, such as air-conditioners are to be installed in such a way as to conform to the character of the District.

6. Window glazing is to be safety-type glazing when required by code.

NOT APPROVED:

1. Residential applications, materials, or equipment will not be approved.

2. Incompatible construction from earlier remodeling that include flush break metal panels and components, 2x strip aluminum mullions, imitation masonry, knock­ down stucco, false shutters, opaque panels, undressed lumber, or historically incorrect "revival" architecture, imitation materials or decor themes will not be approved.

3. Reflective, mirrored, or tinted glazing, including stain glass or decorative panels, in front of or adjacent to storefront windows will not be approved.

4. Changing the location and size of windows that alter the original architectural character of the storefront will not be approved.

SPEC IFIC PLAN No. 182 - Page 40

Visibility into the tenant Jpace should not be obscured with tenant signage or advertising.

DOORS AND ENTRIES
Storefront entries and doors are the primary elements of any storefront. Doors more than any other single element help define the individual character and exterior ambience of a building.

Current code requirements for accessibility and protection may require modification or replacement of existing entry doors. District standards require complete compliance with California Code of Regulations Title 24 and the Americans vvith Disabilities Act on old buildings except under specific conditions of hardship or historic preservation. Restoration and refinishing cannot introduce new materials or systems from more recent building eras, except for compliance vvith exiting and accessibility codes.

New construction must provide accurate duplication or original entry doors or features , along with the storefront design. Restoration and refinishing should not introduce new materials and systems from different building eras, with exceptions allovved only for compliance vvith exiting and accessibility codes.

SPECIFIC PLAN No. 182 - Page 41

The following criteria should be considered when developing these elements:

1. Original doors should be retained whenever possible. Preservation and repair of original hardware pull plates, kick plates, thresholds and window sash, mullions, proportions and size is recommended when possible. New and restored entry doors shall provide an accurate duplication of the building's original features.

2. Where door and glazing elements have been altered or remodeled, all incompatible construction must be removed and replaced with replicas of original elements.

3. Jambs, casing and thresholds for doors are to match the storefront display window mullions and sash. Ideally, the entry element is a continuation of the display window.

4. All Main Street fac;:ade entry doors, including secondary and ancillary entry doors, vestibules, foyers, corridors, and lobbies, shall have a minimum glazing area greater than 50% of the total door area. Door glazing shall match adjacent glazing.

5. Secondary building fac;:ades and storefront doors that provide access into entry vestibules, lobbies, hallways, and stairs are required to maintain visual connection to the inside space and shall have a minimum glazing area no smaller than 30% of the total door area.

6. Interior vestibules, foyers, and lobbies constructed to screen interior spaces will require Design Review Commission approval. When permanent screening of business activity from sidewalk pedestrians is appropriate, approval can be sought for permanent partitions, screening devices and opaque glazing.

NOT APPROVED:

1. Introducing doors and entries that alter the original character of the building storefront will not be approved.

2. Introducing imitation "historic" doors will not be approved.

3. Contemporary hardware and accessories except those approved by the Design Review Commission will not be approved.

4. Opaque or solid entry doors will not be approved. Interior fac;:ades to screen business activity from pedestrian spaces are allowed only with Design Review Commission approval.

5. Under no circumstances will the addition of storm, screen, security grilles, opaque, or solid doors to the exterior of the storefront fac;:ade be approved.

SPECIFIC PLAN No. 182 - Page 42

U PPER-STORY WINDOWS
Upper-story windows traditionally serve offices and residences, providing light and ventilation.

Generally narrow and placed in sets, upper-story windows usually have a relatively complex system of jambs, sills, and sashes. Upper-story windows provide rhythm, interest, and design to a building's middle.

The following criteria should be considered when developing these elements:

1. Upper-story windows shall be traditional sash-type and set in frames.

2. Operable windows are encouraged. Operable windows shall be double or single-hung, casement, or projected types.

3. Windows shall be set inboard at least 3 inches of the exterior wall plane.

4. Multi-pane glazing is encouraged.

5. Articulated window head and sill details are required.

6. Upper-story windows shall be sized and proportioned in accordance with the architecture of neighboring buildings.

7. Use of trompe l'oeil treatment or artificial windows on solid walls will be allowed when approved. See guideline requirements for Murals and Public Art.

T RANSOM, CLERESTORIES & SKYLIGHTS
Before efficient lighting was developed, transom and clerestory windows and skylights were used to bring natural light into the interiors of buildings. Artificial light cannot duplicate natural lighting. Transoms, clerestories, and skylights are encouraged in new and renovated buildings whenever possible.

When existing transoms and clerestory openings have been covered or altered, all incompatible construction is to be removed and replaced with replicas of original glass and framing. Replicated transom and clerestory windows are to match the design and construction of the original building to return the fa9ade to the building's original character.

The following criteria should be considered when developing these elements:

1. Transoms and clerestories are to retain or replicate original window sashes and sizes. When the original interior ceiling has been lowered below to hide transoms or clerestories, a transition ceiling should be installed above the transom windows and be designed to continue into the tenant space and transition to the lower ceiling in a neat and visually pleasing manner.

SPECIF IC PLAN No. 182 - Page 43

2. Transom and clerestory glazing is to match adjacent display vvindow glazing.

3. Although skylights usually occur in interior rooms, skylights are encouraged to bring natural light into arcade areas.

NOT APPROVED:

1. Residential treatments, materials, or equipment will not be approved.

2. Any kind of air-conditioning units on the building fac,;:ade will not be approved .

AWNINGS, ARCADES & CANOPIES
Awnings, arcades, and canopies are recommended to provide protection to buildings and pedestrians from sun and inclement weather. In addition, these elements enhance the pedestrian ambience.

The following criteria should be considered when developing these elements:

1. Existing arcades are to be retained. For new construction arcad es are encouraged , hovvever, an encroachment permit may be required from the City Building or Public Works Department.

2. Fabric awnings were a traditional Main Street fixture and are encouraged , particularly on buildings without a constructed arcade.

3. Colors and patterns of awnings and canopies must relate to the color scheme of the building.

4. Maximum projection of ground floor awnings and canopies no closer than two feet from the curb line is encouraged, however, an encroachment permit may be required from the City Building or Public Works Department.

SPECIFIC PLAN No. 182 - Page 44

5. A 3-foot projection from the building fa9ade is encouraged for upper story windows; however, an encroachment permit may be required from the City Building or Public works Department.

S IGNS
The following items are general signage criteria and standards.

1. Signage must comply with City sign ordinances and SP No. 182. Exceptions for historical signs are encouraged and may require a variance granted by the City of El Cajon. The Planning Commission may approve exceptions upon receipt of documentary evidence that signs of such size, shape, design, material, coloring, lighting, and location to advertise a similar business were in use before 1960.

2. Preservation of historic commercial graphics painted on the sides of buildings is encouraged. See Guidelines for Murals and Public Art.

3. When all provisions and conditions stated in earlier design, color, fabric, and materials requirements are met, neon, moving, or animated signs will be considered as long as they meet the historical integrity of the era but will not necessarily be approved.

4. Signs affixed to inside or outside fa9ade display windows shall not obscure the interior of the building or the contents of display merchandise.

5. A-frame signs shall be attractively designed to enhance the pedestrian experience and minimize tripping hazards. The base of the a-frame sign shall not project beyond the sign plane itself.

MURALS
Depictions of actual events, products, or eras in the history of El Cajon are encouraged on blank walls visible to the public. Quality and type of historical graphics shall meet the following criteria:

1. Mural plans must be submitted to the Public Arts Committee for approval.

2. Murals are desired that accurately represent the social, retail, and professional success of the District during the lifetime of its present buildings, or that depict typical life betvveen 1876 through the 1950s.

3. Colors must be discreet rather than garish.

4. Detailing and reliefs in materials can be included to add depth and interest to a mural.

Examples of acceptable Afural - Master work; left:• Hopper s "EARLY SUNDAY MQRNING" (1930), right: Homer's "SNAP THE WHIP"(J872)

SIDEYARDS, COURTYARDS , NEW ARCADES, AND ALLEY SPACES
Many back doors of some Main Street buildings are recessed from property lines and front broad alleyway spaces. These spaces invite the development of new courtyards and arcades in which additional retail opportunities can be developed. Infill lots adjacent to open alleys and pedestrian pathways are encouraged to enhance their faces facing these areas .

Rooftop terraces and balconies above these internal courtyards and alleys provide additional business spaces. Building and business owners are encouraged to enhance these areas and the fa9ades facing these areas.

The following criteria should be considered when developing these areas:

1. Subject to building and fire codes , the addition of outer walls may includ e recessed windows or small , alcoves that allow air circulati on when located above the height of adjacent development.
