RESOLUTION NO. 10956
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL
GRANTING AN APPEAL AND OVERTURNING THE PLANNING COMMISSION
ACTION DENYING A SIGN EXCEPTION (PLN2008-119) FOR TWO WALL
SIGNS AND ONE FREESTANDING SIGN FOR AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL
BUILDING (KFC AND LONG JOHN SILVERS) ON PROPERTY OWNED BY
HARMAN MANAGEMENT CORPORATION LOCATED AT 1805 WINCHESTER
BOULEVARD IN A P-D (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) ZONIG DISTRICT.
APPLICATION OF MS. FRANCESKA GLEASON, ON BEHALF OF EDWIN
BRUCE ASSOCIATES. FILE NO: PLN2008-119.
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 did find as follows
with respect to application PLN2008-119.
1. The signs otherwise allowed by this chapter 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
on which the signs are or would be located.
2. The signs could not be made visible and intelligible to a person of normal sight by
allowing an increase in the area or height signs pursuant to subsection (C)(4),
(Increased sign area or increase sign height) of the Sign Ordinance.
3. The additional signs comply with all of the requirements of the Sign Ordinance,
except for the limitations on the number of signs.
4. The number of signs allowed pursuant to the Sign Exception shall not exceed the
minimum number of signs necessary to make the signs visible to the public due to
issues of distance or obstructions that are beyond the control of the owner of the site
on which the signs are or would be located, which could not be accomplished by the
number of signs otherwise allowed by the Sign Ordinance.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
1. The proposed signs are consistent with the purposes of the Sign Ordinance by
preserving and improving the visual character of the community.
2. The use for which the signs are to be erected would not be adequately identified
without exceeding the standards of the Sign Ordinance.
3. The proposed signs will not be detrimental to the public welfare or persons in the
neighborhood or the City as a whole and allows for reasonable business
identification.
