CC Resolution 10843
RESOLUTION NO. 10843
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMPBELL APPROVING A MASTER SIGN PROGRAM (PLN2007-154)
FOR A NEW MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED ON
PROPERTY OWNED BY MERRILL GARDENS AT CAMPBELL
LOCATED AT 2041-2043, 2075, 2091, 2105 & 2127 S. WINCHESTER
BOULEVARD IN A P-D (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) ZONING
DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. RYAN LEONG, ON BEHALF OF
SRM DEVELOPMENT. FILE NO.: PLN2007-154.
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 City Council finds as follows with regard to File No. PLN2007-154:
1. The signs are compatible to the architecture of the building and are so located to provide
reasonable identification to the tenants of the building.
2. The wall signs would be a maximum of 40 square feet as determined by the respective
linear frontage of tenant units. Signage is allowed at one square foot of signage for every
one foot of building linear frontage not to exceed 40 square feet.
3. The proposed Master Sign Plan allows signs that are architectural compatible and
provide a consistent signing format throughout the building.
4. Tenants would be allowed to pick the size, color, and arrangement of the letters/logos of
their sign, within the parameters of the Master Sign Plan.
5. A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project concluding that there
are no significant unmitigated impacts associated with this project, pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that:
1. The use or uses for which the signs are to be erected would are adequately identified
with approval of a sign plan.
2. The buildings uses are of such size and are located in reference to surrounding uses and
the traffic circulation system that more signs would best serve the public welfare and
would be in keeping with the purposes of the Sign Ordinance.
3. That signs are consistent with the requirements of the Campbell Sign Ordinance.

4. The size, shape, color, and placement of the signs are compatible with the buildings they
identify and are compatible with the visual characteristics of the surrounding area so as
not to detract from or cause to decrease the value or quality of adjacent properties.
5. Both the location of the proposed signs and the design of their visual elements (lettering,
words, figures, colors, decorative motifs, spacing, and proportions) are legible under
normal viewing conditions.
6. The location and design of the proposed signs do not obscure from view or unduly
detract from existing or adjacent signs.
7. The location and design of the proposed signs (e.g., size, shape, illumination, and color)
are compatible with the visual characteristics of the surrounding area so as not to detract
from or cause to decrease the value or quality of adjacent properties.
8. The location and design of signs in close proximity to any residential district does not
adversely affect the quality or character of the residential area.
9. No substantial evidence has been presented from which a reasonable argument could be
made that shows that the project, as currently presented and subject to the required
conditions of approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
10. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the conditions of
approval and the impacts of the project.
