Please Deny the CVS appeal for red metal signs.

CVS has turned the quaint, waterfront community of Tiburon upside down.

First, they steamrolled into town, cut down all the Native California trees in front of their building and, after exposing the 18,000 sq ft edifice, lobbied hard for up to 126 sq ft of glowing red, halo-lit signage! The people of Tiburon and Belvedere fought back hard; over 465 local residents, via petition and Homeowners Associations, let the DRB know loud and clear that they did not want any red signs for CVS.

After two public hearings, the DRB granted CVS a main entry sign and for the first time ever, a sign facing Beach Rd, each 30 sq ft, with the proviso the signs would be made out of white wood to fit the community aesthetic.

As soon as CVS got approval for the size and location of their signs, they returned with an appeal to the Town Council to change the white wood signs to red metal signs--the exact thing the people of the community spent two months protesting!

 The Tiburon Town Council must deny the CVS appeal and overturn the Beach Rd sign approval in order to preserve and maintain the small town, village-like character of the community as the General Plan requires, and prevent our Downtown area from turning into an ugly strip mall.
