PC Res 3893 RESOLUTION NO. 3893 BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A SIGN APPLICATION (PLN2008- 65) TO ALLOW A MANUAL READER BOARD SIGN ON PROPERTY OWNED BY CALVARY TEMPLE OF CAMPBELL LOCATED AT 202 RAILWAY AVENUE IN A P-D (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. DENNIS CONNER, ON BEHALF OF CALVARY TEMPLE OF CAMPBELL. FILE NO.: PLN2008-65. 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 PLN2008-65. 1. The proposed manual reader board sign is limited to identification of an on-site use located on the project site. 2. The proposed manual reader board sign may be allowed with the approval of the Planning Commission for a Public Assembly use with more than 50 fixed seats. The project site currently has approximately 200 fixed seats. 3. Inspection of the site and the proposed sign and review of the plans disclose that the signs will comply with all of the regulations of this chapter. 4. The project qualifies as Categorically Exempt project under Section 15311, Class 11 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pertaining to the construction or placement of on-premise signs. Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that: 1. The proposed sign is consistent with the requirements of the Sign Ordinance. 2. Both the location of the proposed sign and the design of its visual elements (lettering, words, figures, colors, decorative motifs, spacing, and proportions) are legible under normal viewing conditions. 3. The location and design of the proposed sign does not obscure from view or unduly detract from existing or adjacent signs. 4. The location and design of the proposed sign (e.g., size, shape, illumination, and color) is 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. Planning Commission Resolution No. 3893 PLN2008-65 - 202 Railway Avenue - Sign Application - Manual Reader Board Sign Page 2 5. The location and design of the proposed sign, located in close proximity to any residential district, does not adversely affect the quality or character of the residential area. 6. 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. 7. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of Approval and the impacts of the project. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission approves a Sign Application (PLN2008-65) to allow a manual reader Board Sign on property owned by Calvary Temple of Campbell located at 202 Railway Avenue in a P-D (Planned Development) Zoning District.
