BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A SIGN APPLICATION
(PLN2009-58) TO ALLOW A MANUAL READERBOARD SIGN FOR A
PUBLIC ASSEMBLY USE ON PROPERTY OWNED BY CAMPBELL
CHURCH OF CHRIST LOCATED AT 1075 W. CAMPBELL AVENUE
IN THE P-F (PUBLIC FACILITIES) AND R-1-6 (SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL) ZONING DISTRICTS. APPLICATION OF MR. MIKE
STROUSE, FOR MIDWAY SIGNS ON BEHALF OF CAMPBELL
CHURCH OF CHRIST/CAMPBELL CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS. FILE
NO. PLN2009-58.
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 PLN2009-58.
1. The proposed manual readerboard sign is limited to identification of an on-site use
located on the project site.
2. The proposed manual readerboard 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.

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 (PLN2009-58) to allow a manual readerboard sign for a public assembly use on
property owned by Campbell Church of Christ located at 1075 W. Campbell Avenue in the
P-F (Public Facilities) and R-1-6 (Single Family Residential) Zoning Districts.
