PC Res 3798
RESOLUTION NO. 3798
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL GRANTING A SIGN
EXCEPTION (PLN2006-96) TO ALLOW A 26.8-FOOT GAS
PRICE SIGN ON PROPERTY OWNED BY CHEVRON
LOCATED AT 1589 S. BASCOM AVENUE, IN A C-2-S
(GENERAL COMMERCIAL) ZONING DISTRICT.
APPLICATION OF MR. BOB ABBOTT, ON BEHALF OF
CHEVRON PRODUCTS COMPANY. FILE NO: PLN2006-96.
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 PLN2006-96.
1. The proposed sign is architecturally compatible with the building in terms of style
and design.
2. The proposed size is proportional to the buildings.
3. The site is unusually difficult to locate in comparison to similar uses due to the
location of the kiosk in the middle of a shopping center parking lot.
4. The business would not be adequately identified with only one freestanding gasoline
sign pursuant to the State of California Business & Professions Code Section 13531.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
1. Signs otherwise allowed by Zoning Code 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.
2. Sign will not be increased in size more than necessary to allow the signs to be
visible to the public and intelligible to a person of normal sight.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission approves a Sign
Exception (PLN2006-96) to allow a 26.8-foot gas price sign on property owned by
Chevron located at 1589 S. Bascom Avenue in a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning
District.
