marble veneer wings will be added to the
existing cement plaster fascia. In

added in the sidewalk areas in front of the
new entry way. A raised chrome sign of
15" high letters spelling "Chain-Younger"
will be placed above the Truxtun Avenue
entrance on a polished marble fascia
matching the existing fascia band.
The final landscaping plan was also
approved. Six 35" box trees will be

Report No. 90-8 regarding proposed Urban
for the Downtown Redevelopment Project Area
On May 10, 1990, the Design Review
Committee completed work on the Proposed
Urban Design Guidelines for the Downtown
Redevelopment Project Area.
This joint effort between staff and
committee members has taken over a year of
concerted effort resulting in a document
which will be used by the Central District
Development Agency's Design Review
Committee and City staff in reviewing
proposals for exterior building
modifications and new construction within
the designated downtown area.
The Design Guidelines are being distributed
to Agency members for review and comment.
In addition, the report will be sent to a
wide variety of businesses and governmental
agencies for review as part of the
requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act.
It is anticipated that the report will be
brought back to the Agency in late June for
final approval once the environmental
review and comment period has been
concluded.
Agency Member Rubin requested that the guidelines
also be submitted to various service organizations that might
be interested.

Committee Report No. 90-8 was accepted.
