Sign Program Modification with Administrative Relief for Alton Retail Center (File No. 00978174-PSS)

The City of Irvine is modifying the Alton Retail Center Sign Program to grant administrative relief for Sign Type A — Project Sign — allowing deviations from the Zoning Ordinance requirements regarding sign panel size and the number of tenants that can be displayed. This adjustment is intended to accommodate specific signage needs at the retail center without altering broader zoning regulations, providing flexibility to the property owner or developer while maintaining compliance with overall municipal standards. The modification is formalized under File No. 00978174-PSS and was posted as a forecast on May 28, 2026, indicating future action is expected. Samantha Zepeda, Assistant Planner at the City of Irvine, serves as the primary point of contact for this initiative, with Alex Davies, the Project Applicant, also listed as a key liaison. The project is situated within the city of Irvine, California, and the administrative relief sought reflects a targeted adjustment to signage rules to better suit tenant representation and visual impact on the retail property. No set-aside or NAICS code is specified, suggesting this is an internal regulatory adjustment rather than a procurement or contracting opportunity, with the intent to streamline sign compliance while preserving the integrity of local zoning policies.
