Direct staff to: (1) prepare the proposed amendments in Attachments 1 and 2 for first reading, public hearing and adoption; (2) recommend alternate language, or (3) request more information from staff and another work session on this item. ISSUE Signage is a very important visual element in the Downtown, thus the Council STATEMENT: directed staff to include consideration of design standards for signs in the Downtown Design Standards project. The City’s sign regulations applicable to the Downtown area reside in Springfield Municipal Code (SMC) Chapter 8 Signs, Section 8.250 Downtown Sign District. The proposed amendments are necessary to ensure that new signage appropriately addresses the purpose of signs under SMC 8.200, and contributes positively to Downtown’s unique pedestrian scale streetscape character, welcoming ambience, and economic success. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Map: Proposed amendment to Downtown Sign District boundary 2. Proposed code language with staff commentary 3. Committee discussion and recommendation (November 9, 2017 Downtown CAC Meeting Minutes) DISCUSSION/ As set forth in SMC Sections 8.200 to 8.268, the City recognizes the importance of FINANCIAL an aesthetically pleasing community to the continued welfare of its population, and IMPACT: to the economic development of the city. The proposed amendments to the Downtown Sign Code (Attachments 1 and 2) address the design and placement of signs within the Downtown Sign District. The proposed amendments were reviewed and recommended for adoption by the Downtown Citizen Advisory Committee, with a focus on identifying and encouraging specific local design characteristics that contribute to Downtown’s sense of place and vitality. The proposed amendments in Attachments 1 and 2 are intended to: • Provide consistent sign regulations on both sides of South A Street between the river and 8th Street, and from the river to 10th Street north of South A Street; • Address sign types that are currently permitted in the downtown but do not contribute to a pleasing aesthetic environment and are not pedestrian- oriented, to help downtown transition away from a highway/strip commercial look; • Incentivize downtown businesses to provide at least one sign per business that meets “pedestrian orientation” criteria; and • Limit how far projecting signs can encroach over the public sidewalk zone to prevent interference with streetscape elements (decorative lighting, street trees). Attachment 1, Page 1 of 1 1 Proposed Amendments to Springfield Sign Code 2 Downtown Sign District 3 As recommended by the Downtown Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) on November 3, 2017 4 5 Proposed draft code amendment text is indicated by underline. Deleted text is indicated 6 by strike-out. Unchanged text is shown as plain text. Staff commentary is shown in the blue 7 boxes. 8 9 Commentary: The purpose of Downtown Design Standards for signs is to encourage the effective use of 10 signs as a means of communication and advertising in a manner that reduces the negative effects of 11 signs on safety and aesthetics. 12 13 8.200 Signs 14 15 Commentary: The purpose of the proposed amendments to the Downtown sign code is to support 16 commercial success of downtown by ensuring a pleasant and safe experience for business patrons, 17 visitors, and residents. The Council recognizes that the Downtown Mixed-Use Plan District is a district 18 with unique qualities and characteristics, which should be reinforced by design standards that are 19 specific and appropriate to the district. Adoption of the proposed amendments would apply new 20 Downtown Design standards to the installation of new signage within the Downtown Mixed-Use Plan 21 District. 22 23 Commentary: The proposed amendments add a definition for “Blade Sign” because this type of sign has 24 become popular in Springfield and other walkable downtowns. Blade signs have a pedestrian-oriented 25 look, feel and function due to their scale, lettering font size, materials and mounting brackets —often 26 contributing distinctive artistic elements to the district streetscape. Blade signs are encouraged, but not 27 required. Blade signs are currently addressed in the code within the definition of “Wall Sign.” 28 Addressing them in the Definitions section is intended to more clearly communicate that Springfield 29 permits this sign type. 30 31 8.202 Definitions. The meaning of specific terms pertaining to the regulation of signs are: 32 33 Blade Sign. A double-faced wall sign or projecting sign less than one (1) inch in thickness with 34 a sign face area less than nine (9) square feet that is attached to the building face at a 90 degree 35 angle, and may or may not be mounted from an ornamental metal bracket sign structure. Blade 36 signs are designed to be viewed by pedestrians approaching the store front from both directions 37 along the street and sidewalk. 38 39 8.250 Downtown Sign District. 40 41 Commentary: To implement the Downtown Sign Code consistently on both sides of South A Street, the 42 Committee recommends amending Map No. 1 to include the Downtown Mixed-Use sites fronting on the 43 south side of South A in the Downtown Sign District. 1 Attachment 2, Page 1 of 4 44 45 The Downtown Sign District is shown on Map No.1. Each business in this district shall be limited to 46 three (3) signs not counting required pedestrian-oriented signs. 47 48 Commentary: The proposed amendments require Downtown businesses requesting permits for new 49 signs to provide at least one sign that is designed to be pedestrian-oriented.

  • How to Choose Knives Upstream and Downstream of Good Cooking There Is Always a Good Knife
    COLTELLERIE BERTI How to choose Knives Upstream and downstream of good cooking there is always a good knife. Every day we use many objects without knowing their intimate nature and without knowing which phenomena and undisputable physical laws determine their operation and usefulness for us .However, understanding such matters is impossible, considering the vast amount of knowledge it would require. These few pages, which make no claim to covering everything, will give you the opportunity of getting to know something more about knife making so you can use your knives better and get more satisfaction out of them. Handmade. Made in Italy. Choosing a knife for home. How to choose Is it normal to use saw blades to cut food other than bread, focaccia and products out of the oven? Is it really parsimonious to spend less for a knife that cuts badly and that you later have to throw away? Is it really an idea of the past to have high quality blades sharpened ever now and then, so you can still count on an excellent cutting tool through time? Is it a luxury to cut meat at the table with a hand made, smooth-bladed knife having a handle made of horn? We think not. This is why we feel it our duty to illustrate the essential cutting requirements with good knives, to all those who want to choose a knife set from our Collections. You can choose among preparation, serving and table knives with: Stainless steel blades with a high degree of carbon to ensure a long lasting cut.

  • Large Cutting Tools
    1 KNIVES AND CUTTING TOOLS COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL The importance of knives to a professional chef or cook cannot be overstated. High-quality, well-made, well-maintained knives are fundamental kitchen tools that form the foundation of a professional’s work. The “perfect” knife depends upon a variety of factors. The knife should fi t your hand, feel substantial but not heavy, and should be well balanced. In the last decade or so, tradi- tional Western-style knives, long the standard of highest quality in knives, have been joined by a number of Eastern-style knives. Both knife-making traditions have resulted in a wide array of knives, some of which can be used for a variety of cutting tasks and some crafted to perform one specifi c function. A true professional could get good—even great—results from a lesser-quality knife, but it is harder work. Those same tools in the hands of a novice might make work discour- agingly diffi cult, even impossible. The best tools make it easier for the beginner to learn cutting skills properly, right from the start. It is well worth spending the time and money necessary to get a good knife and become comfortable with the skills involved in sharpen- ing, steeling, and using knives for a variety of cutting tasks. The chef’s knife, as the most basic, all-purpose knife, shares similarities with many other knives, from paring knives to boning knives, scimitars to slicers. Even cleavers are made up of the same basic parts. The following discussion of the parts of a knife uses a chef’s knife as the model of the typical knife, made up of a blade and a handle.

  • Answers to Do You Know Your Kitchen Equipment?
    Cardinal Ice Equipment, Inc. Cardinal Ice Equipment, Inc. 3311 Gilmore Industrial Blvd. 1315 Read Street Unit I Louisville, KY 40213 Evansville, IN 47710 T 502 966 4579 T 812 468 8550 F 502 966 4098 F 812 468 8560 Answers to Do You Know Your Kitchen Equipment? 1. Every good chef needs an assortment of knives at his disposal. What type of knife would be best suited for slicing up a loaf of sour dough? The correct answer is: Serrated knife While you could chop through bread with any of these, a serrated knife would work the best. The edge of a serrated knife is notched like a saw and that allows it to easily cut items which have a hard outer surface and a soft interior, like bread and tomatoes. These knives come in all sizes and the largest is also commonly known as a bread knife. 2. This special utensil is commonly used to remove the top part of the skin from fruit like oranges and lemons. The correct answer is: Zester The "zest" is the top portion of the peel from a citrus fruit. This tool allows for the easy removal of the aromatic, oily zest from the bitter pith of the peel. The zest is used for flavoring dishes or as a nice garnish for drinks. 3. Which of the following items listed below does not fit with the others? The correct answer is: Ricer While all of these utensils have small holes to process food through, only the ricer requires that the chef actually force the food by applying pressure.

  • In the Supreme Court of California
    Filed 6/2/16 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF CALIFORNIA THE PEOPLE, ) ) Plaintiff and Respondent, ) ) S218861 v. ) ) Ct.App. 4/1 D063394 EMMANUEL CASTILLOLOPEZ, ) ) San Diego County Defendant and Appellant. ) Super. Ct. No. SCD242311 ____________________________________) A police officer found a Swiss Army knife in a pocket of defendant Emmanuel Castillolopez‘s jacket. One of the blades was fully extended. Defendant was convicted of carrying a concealed dirk or dagger in violation of Penal Code section 21310. Penal Code section 16470 defines a ― ‗dirk‘ or ‗dagger‘ ‖ as ―a knife . that is capable of ready use as a stabbing weapon that may inflict great bodily injury or death.‖ Under this definition, ―a pocketknife is capable of ready use as a stabbing weapon . only if the blade of the knife is exposed and locked into position.‖ (Ibid.) The Court of Appeal reversed defendant‘s conviction, ruling that there was no substantial evidence that the open blade of the Swiss Army knife was ―locked into position‖ within the meaning of Penal Code section 16470 because the knife could be closed simply by folding the blade back into the handle. We agree that defendant‘s conviction cannot stand and therefore affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeal. I. At about 10 p.m. on July 29, 2012, San Diego Police Officer Bryce Charpentier stopped a car in which defendant Emmanuel Castillolopez was riding as a passenger. During a patdown search, the officer found a knife in the front pocket of defendant‘s jacket. Officer Charpentier testified that ―it was a collapsible knife, and the blade was in a locked, open position.‖ The knife was a Swiss Army knife with multiple blades; only the ―large blade‖ was exposed.
