BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A SIGN APPLICATION (SA 99-06)
TO ALLOW A 100 SQUARE FOOT WALL SIGN FOR MARX LEATHER
& HOME OFFICE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 150 N. SAN TOMAS
AQUINO ROAD IN A C-2-S (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) ZONING
DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. MARK DAVIS, ON BEHALF OF
MARX LEATHER & HOME OFFICE. FILE NO. SA 99-03.
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 SA 99-06:
1. The proposed 100 square foot wall sign is architecturally compatible with existing approved
signs at the San Tomas Plaza Shopping Center.
2. The proposed size of the wall sign is proportional to the building.
The proposed wall 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 public
welfare and be in keeping with the principles and purposes of the City' s Sign Ordinance.
The subject site would best be served by the additional sign area for the wall to promote
better visibility of the business, given the lengthy distance of the tenant space to W.
Campbell Avenue, which approximately 660 feet.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
o
The proposed wall sign is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning designations for the
site with approval of a sign exception.
The new retail business would not be adequately identified without approval of the
additional sign area for the wall sign.
The proposed sign will not be detrimental to the public welfare or persons in the
neighborhood or the City as a whole.
The proposed sign will not unnecessarily detract from the public health, safety and welfare
and are not indecent or offensive to the senses.
