CC Resolution 9754
RESOLUTION NO. 9754
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMPBELL DENYING A SIGN APPLICATION TO ALLOW AN
EXPRESSWAY-ORIENTED SIGN (VISIBLE FROM SAN TOMAS
EXPRESSWAY AT HAMIL TON AVENUE) FOR A RETAIL
FURNITURE STORE (SCANDINAVIAN CONCEPTS) ON
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 651 W. HAMILTON AVENUE.
APPLICATION OF MR. RAYMOND ZHAO. FILE NO. PLN2000-14
(SA).
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 finds as follows with
regard to File No. PLN2000-14 (SA):
1. The proposed expressway-oriented SIgn IS limited to identification of an on-site
business.
2. The applicant has not demonstrated that the business operation is dependent upon
expressway identification and has not demonstrated that denial of said identification
would cause an undue hardship to the business.
3. The applicant has not demonstrated that the signage is necessary due to limited
visibility of the shopping center due to its shape and location or other factors unique
to the site.
4. The shopping center site is not unusually difficult to locate in reference to
surrounding uses, given that it is located on a comer parcel on a major intersection.
5. The expressway-oriented sign was shown mounted on the roof of the building. The
Planning Commission denied the placement of said sign, finding that a roof-mounted
sign was not necessary to provide adequate signage for the business and was
architecturally incompatible in design and inconsistent with the shopping center and
the surrounding neighborhood.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that:

Ordinance and General Plan.
