Design Review Commission: 9/2/2026

The City of Walnut Creek Design Review Commission held a meeting on September 2, 2026, primarily to review and approve a master sign program amendment for the property at 1500 Mount Diablo Boulevard. The amendment involved removing a previously approved mural sign, adding new signage for a newly divided retail space, and approving a sign height exception for a rooftop sign. The commission discussed the architectural significance of the building, the challenges of signage in a mixed-use environment, and the importance of visibility for new tenants. After deliberation, the commission unanimously approved the staff's recommendation to grant the sign program amendment, sign exceptions, and height increase requests. No other procurement or budget matters were addressed during the meeting.
