BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMPBELL APPROVING A SIGN APPLICATION (PLN2002-124)
FOR A FREEWAY ORIENTED SIGN ON PROPERTY OWNED BY
THE JOHN DAVIS FAMILY TRUST LOCATED AT 690-700 EAST
CAMPBELL A VENUE IN A P-D (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT)
ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MS. LIBBY GLASS, ON
BEHALF OF CAMPBELL SUITES GROUP, LLC. FILE NO. PLN2002-
129
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the City Council did find as follows with
respect to application PLN2002-129:
1. The proposed freeway-oriented sign is limited to identification of an on-site business located
on the project site.
2. The applicant has demonstrated that the business operation is dependent upon freeway
identification and that denial of said identification would cause an undue hardship.
3. The hotel project is unusually difficult to locate due to its limited access from East Campbell
A venue and lack of direct freeway access.
4. The applicant has demonstrated that the signage is similar to other similarly situated hotel
businesses in the area.
5. The proposed freeway-oriented sign would best serve the public welfare and is necessary to
provide adequate visibility from Highway 17.
6. The height and sign area are the minimums necessary to provide adequate freeway
identification for the hotel use.
7. The proposed sign, as conditioned, is architecturally compatible in design and consistent with
the proposed hotel.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that:
1. The proposed sign will promote the economic viability of the City by providing adequate
identification and visibility of the new business, and will also best serve the traveling public
in keeping with the principles and purposes of the City's Sign Ordinance.
2. The proposed freeway-oriented sign will aid in the harmonious development of the area.
