Application: Sign Permit
Status: Incomplete
Dear Applicant:
In addition to your August 16, 2016 sign permit application for Ohm Connect, the Planning
Division has received a separate sign permit application for Iguana's Burritozilla also at 200 E.
Campbell Avenue. Campbell Municipal Code Section 21.30.030(H)(1)(c) states that a Master
Sign Program is required for buildings with 4 or more tenants, seeking approval of two or more
signs. Therefore, both of the individual sign permit applications for 200 E. Campbell Avenue
will be put on hold until approval of a Master Sign Program by the Community Development
Director. Enclosed is the application form for your use with the required materials and fees
indicated and below is the section of the municipal code pertaining to Master Sign Programs.
21.30.030 H. Master sign plan required.
1. Applicability. A master sign plan shall be required prior to the issuance of a sign permit for:
a. New nonresidential projects with four or more tenants in conjunction with the
applicable development application;
b. Major rehabilitation work that involves the exterior remodeling of an existing
nonresidential project with four or more tenants. For the purposes of this chapter,
major rehabilitation means adding more than fifty percent to the total square footage
of the building/buildings, or exterior redesign of more than fifty percent of the length
of the building's facade within the development; or
c. A sign application for a nonresidential project with four or more tenants, which seeks
approval of two or more signs.
2. Design elements. Signs covered by a master sign plan shall have the following elements:
a. Uniform background in terms of color, illumination, and materials;
b. Letter colors that are consistent with the approved master sign plan;
c. Uniform sign type (e.g., channel letters or cabinet sign); and
d. Uniform location with building's design.

b. That the design complies with the design elements criteria listed in subsection (H)(2)
of this section;
c. That both the location of the proposed signs and the design of their visual elements
(lettering, words, figures, colors, decorative motifs, spacing, and proportions) are
legible under normal viewing conditions; and

signs from view.
