PC Res 4429RESOLUTION NO. 4429
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A SIGN PERMIT (PLN2017-346)
TO ALLOW ONE FREESTANDING SIGN WITH EXCEPTIONS ON
PROPERTY LOCATED 546 DIVISION STREET.
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 numbers PLN2017-346:
1. The project site is located on the south side of Division Street, east of S. Winchester
Blvd., and north of Knowles Drive.
2. The project site is zoned C-M (Controlled Manufacturing) on the City of Campbell
Zoning Map.
3. The project site is designated Research and Development on the City of Campbell
General Plan Land Use diagram.
4. The project site is an approximately 5.04 acre lot.
5. Allowance for an additional freestanding sign is necessary to ensure sufficient
visibility.
6. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the project, as
currently presented and subject to the required Conditions of Approval, will have a
significant adverse impact on the environment.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact and pursuant to Campbell Municipal Code
Sec. 21.30.030.0.5, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that:
1. The sign 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 sign is or would be located;
2. The sign 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;
3. The additional sign complies with all other requirements, except for the limitations on
the number of signs;
4. The number of signs allowed does not exceed the minimum number of signs
necessary to make the sign 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 sign is

or would be located, which could not be accomplished by the number of signs
otherwise allowed;
5. 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 (PLN2017-346) for one freestanding sign in excess of the number of allowable
signs per parcel on property located at 546 Division Street, subject to the attached
