PC Res 4313RESOLUTION NO. 4313
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A SIGN PERMIT (PLN2016-168)
TO ALLOW AN ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF SIGNS (4
FREESTANDING SIGNS) ON PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 1500,
1506, 1510 AND 1520 DELL AVENUE. FILE NO.: PLN2016-168
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
The Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to file number PLN2016-168:
1. The 5 '/2 acre project site consists of two parcels located along Dell Avenue, south of
Hacienda Avenue, and is developed with four industrial buildings comprising 95,000
square-feet of gross floor area.
2. The proposed Sign Permit would allow construction of four 43 square-foot monument
signs on the project site replacing four existing signs.
3. Campbell Municipal Code Sec. 21.30.080.A.2 specifies that industrial properties are
allowed one freestanding sign for each parcel of land or commercial center, whichever
is less.
4. Campbell Municipal Code (Sec. 21.30.030.C) requires Planning Commission approval
for an increase in number of signs than otherwise allowed.
5. The proposed number of signs is commensurate with the size of the property and with
the number of buildings. At over 5 '/2 acres, and with over 500 feet of linear feet of
frontage along Dell Avenue, four signs-which are smaller than the 50 square-foot
maximum-is the minimum necessary to adequately identify the properties.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
1. The signs otherwise allowed would not be visible to the public due to issues of
distance or obstructions that are beyond the control of the owner of the site on which
the signs are or would be located;
2. The signs otherwise allowed would not be visible to the public due to issues of
distance or obstructions that are beyond the control of the owner of the site on which
the signs are or would be located;
3. The signs could not be made visible and intelligible to a person of normal sight by
allowing an increase in the area or height of the sign;
4. The additional signs comply with all the other requirements, except for the limitations
on the number of signs;

5. The number of signs allowed does not exceed the minimum number of signs
necessary to make the signs visible to the public due to issues of distance or
obstructions that are beyond the control of the owner of the site on which the signs
are or would be located, which could not be accomplished by the number of signs
otherwise allowed;
6. The project is Categorically Exempt under Sections 15311, Class 11 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pertaining to the construction or placement of on
premise signs.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission approves a Sign Permit
(PLN2016-168) to allow an additional number of signs (4 freestanding signs) on
properties located at 1500, 1506, 1510 and 1520 Dell Avenue, subject to the attached
Conditions of Approval (attached Exhibit "A").
