PC Res 3402RESOLUTION NO. 3402
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A SIGN EXCEPTION (PLN2001-
l l2) TO ALLOW THE INSTALLATION OF ONE ADDITIONAL
WALL SIGN (SIGN B) ON A NEW DRUGSTORE LOCATED AT 1570
W. CAMPBELL AVENUE IN C-1-S (NEIGHBORHOOD
COMMERCIAL) ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. ALAN
FORD, ON BEHALF OF WALGREEN'S. FILE NO. PLN2001-112.
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 Planning Commission did find as follows
with respect to application PLN2001-112:
1. The proposed sign is architecturally compatible with the building in terms of style and
design.
2. The proposed size of the wall sign is proportional to the building frontage.
o
The site is unusually difficult to locate in comparison to similar uses due to the location of
the building to the rear of the existing Shell service station and the retail pad building along
San Tomas Aquino Road.
The business would not be adequately identified with only one wall sign due to the proximity
of the building to the street frontage, its orientation to two street frontages, and the size of the
building.
5. The business would be adequately identified with Signs A, B, E, F and H.
6. Signs C and D are not necessary for identification of the building.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The proposed wall signs (A, B, E, F and H) are consistent with the purposes of the Sign
Ordinance by preserving and improving the visual character of the community.
The use for which the sign is to be erected would not be adequately identified and is
unusually difficult to locate in comparison to similar uses without exceeding the standards of
the Sign Ordinance.
