STAFF RFCC MMFNr) • i ^ That the Planning Commission take the following action: 1. DENY the applicant's signing request based upon the attached findings. Environmental_s1atem nc This pro)ect is Categorically Exempt hence no environmental determination is required. APPLICANTS PROPOSAL The applicant is requesting approval of a second wall -mounted sign to be placed over the entrance of an existing restaurant lo,:ated at 1555 South Bascom Avenue. The existing restaurant operation, which was recently remodeled, is currently identified by a free-standing sign with a 50 square foot face and a 14 foot height and a wall mounted sign along the southerly elevation of the _;uilding facing East Hamilton Avenue of 46 Square feet. The applicant at this time is requesting the installation of a second wall -mounted sign along the northerly elevation over the building entrance. RQN9RDI_ NANCE The sign ordinance states that on -site signing for commercial uses is permitted as follows. 1. Allowable sin area. The size of each individual sign shall be no greater than 1 square foot in area for each linear foot of business frontage. 2. Wall Signs: Each business shall be permitted one wall sign. However, businesses which are located adjacent to two streets may have one additional wall sign to face the second adjacent street, if the business is not identified on the free-standing sign.

Free-standing Signs: One free-standing sign shall be permitted for each parcel of land or commercial center; and, 4. Architectural Compati ility: Signs shall be architectural compatible with and suitable for the buildings and structures with which they are associated as well as the surrounding environment. PROTECT DF_Sc UMQN The signing proposal includes th re -ration of the two existing signs and proposes a second wall sign on the north elevation of the building as follows: Exi tjne PTOVi ed Permitted Freestanding sign 50 sq. ft. - 14 height 50 sq. ft. - 14 height Wall Sign 46 sq. ft. 50 sq. ft. (south elevation) ProMsed Wall Sign 23 sq. ft. second sign not permitted (north elevation) TOTAL 119 sq. ft. 100 sq. ft All of the proposed signs are architecturally compatible to the building design. The applicant's signing proposal exceeds the square footage permitted by the ordinance by 19 square feet and proposes a second wall - mounted sign. SUALIP A$CHLMCIUBA_- REVIEW COMMITTEE At its meeting of September 10, 1992, the Site and Architectural Review Committee recommended approval of the applicant's signing request The Committee found that the proposed wall sign had limited visibility from the street frontage due to the building's placement and orientation•, to the office building to the north. Additionally, the Committee found that the proposed sign assisted and enhanced the identification of the building entrance. Staff Report fir the Planning Commission Meeting of September 22, 1992 1555 South 1l' om Aoenue - SA 92-33 page 3 RECOMMEN12ATI ON/SUM MAR Y Staff finds that the sign proposal is not consistent with the purpose and tha intent of the sign ordinance and is recommending denial of the applicant's signing request. Staff is of the opinion that the current sipping adequately identifies the restaurant use and approval of the secondary wall -mounted sign would be contrary to the provisions of the sign ordinance. Staff would be supportive of the proposed wall -mounted sign if the second wall sign pla,-ed on the south elevation of the building were removed. Attachments: 1. Findings denial 2.

STAFF RE: SIGNAGE APPLICATION FOR THE SPOONS RESTAURANT 1555 SOUTH BASCOM AVE. CAMPBELL, CA HPC JOB 091 109.03 WE ARE SUBMITTING THIS SIGN APPLICATION FOR PLANNING REVIEW AND REQUESTING THAT THE PLANNING CwtilSSION WOULD, UNDER THE PROVISION OF ORDINANCE SECTION 21.53.140, APPROVE THE INSTALLATION OF ONE MORE SIGN THAN 15 ALLOWED BY THE SIGN ORDINANCE. CURRENTLY THE SPOONS RESTAURANT LOCATED AT 1555 SOUTH BASCOM AVE. HAS ONE WALL MOUNTED SIGN OF 46 50. FT. ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING, VISIBLE THROUGH THE SERVICE STATION AT THE CORNER OF HAMILTON AVE. AND SOUTH BASCOM AVE. THERE 15 ALSO A MONUMENT SIGN LOCATED NEAR THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE BUILDING ADJACENT TO BASCOM AVE., HOWEVEk THIS SIGN 15 PARTIALLY SCReENED FROM THE SOUTH BY MATURE LANDSCAPING, LIGHT STANDARDS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND TFE 9UILDING ITSELF. FOR THIS REASON WE ARE REQUESTING THAT THE WALL SIGN ON THE SOUTH ELEVATION REMAIN IN PLACE AS IT PROVIDES BETTER VISIBILITY AND RECOGNITION FOR THE RESTAURANT WHEN APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTH. WE A" PROPOSING THE ADDITION OF A SECOND SIGNAGE ELEMENT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING, ABOVE THE PRIMARY ENTRANCE TO THE RESTAURANT. THIS 516N WOULD CONSI5T ONLY OF NEON TUBING, ENCOMPASSING AN AREA OF 23 SO. FT., IN KEEPING WITH THE NEON DESIGN ELEMNTS USED THROUGHOUT THE BUILDINGS' EXTERIOR. THE PROPORTIONS OF THE RESTAURANT ENTRIES' FACADE WERE DESIGNED TO INCLUDE THE NEON SIGN ELEMENT. THIS DESIGN WAS APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON OC70BER 8, 1991. THE BUILDING IS NOW NEARING COMPLETION AND 15 AWAITING THE SIGNAGE INSTALLATION. 1952-08-27 12:26 406 435 7977 HPC ARCHITECTURE 010 P02 IF THE NEON SIGN ELEMENT IS NOT INSTALLED THE RESTAURANT WOULD BE WITHOUT SIGNAGE OR DEFINITION ON ITS PRIMARY BUSINESS FRONTAGE THE ENTRY FACADE WOULD APPSAR TO BE Ol'ERSIZED AND LACKING INTEREST, DIMINISHING THE CHARACTER OF THE APPROVED BUILDING DESIGN. THERE SHOULD 13E NO CONCERN THAT THE NEW SIGNAGE WOULD CREATE A CLUTTERIED VISUAL ENVIRONMENT. THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE EXISTING AND PROPOSED SIGNAG,E 15 SUCH THAT AT NO TIME WOULD MORE THAN TWO SIGNS, THE MONII'ENT 516N AND ONE WALL SIGN, BE VISIBLE. PREDOMINANTLY ONLY ONE SIGN WILL BE COMPLETELY VISIBLE, THE OTHER BEING PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY SCREENED BY AIXJACENT BUILDINGS, MATURE LANDSCAPING, ETC. AS DISCUSSED ABOVE. WE BELIEVE THAT THE PROPOSED NEON SIGNAGE ELEP'ENT 15 AN INTEGRAL FEATURE OF THE BUILDING'S PRIMARY FACADE DESIGN AND THAT 11 15 IN KEEPING WITH THE INTENT OF THE CITY CF CAMPBELL'S SIGNAGE ORDINANCE. FOR THE REASONS DISCUSSED IN THIS LETTER WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE SIGNAGE AS PROPOSED BE APPROVED.
