PC Res 4026RESOLUTION NO. 4026
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A MODIFICATION TO AN
EXISTING MASTER SIGN PLAN (PLN2011-105) TO ALLOW NEW
SIGNAGE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1875 S. BASCOM
AVENUE, SUITE 405, KNOWN AS THE PRUNEYARD SHOPPING
CENTER, WITHIN THE C-2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) ZONING
DISTRICT. FILE NO.: PLN2011-105.
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 PLN2011-105:
Environmental Finding
The project qualifies as an Exempt project under Section 15311, Class 11 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pertaining to the construction or placement
of on-premise signs.
Evidentiary Findings
The Modification of the Master Sign Plan is consistent with the requirements of the Sign
Ordinance in that the Planning Commission, in conjunction with approval language of the
Master Sign Plan, has the authority to modify the Master Sign Plan to allow individual
tenant signage an exception from strict compliance with the adopted Master Sign Plan
upon re-evaluation at change of tenancy
2. The proposed signage design complies with the intent of the Master Sign Plan in that the
Master Sign Plan provides clear requirements for all new signage to be architecturally
compatible with the design of not only the individual shopping center by the specific
tenant space at this location. Due to the physical reconfiguration of the facade, this
signage is more appropriate than the original sign allowed under the Master Sign Plan.
3. 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 in that the size and placement of the proposed wall and
arcade signage is commensurate with the scale of the shopping center, providing
adequate off-site visibility.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
That the signs are consistent with the requirements of the original tenant space Sign
Permit, as approved through the Master Sign Plan.

2. That the design complies with the design elements criteria listed in subsection
21.30.030(H)(2) of the Sign Ordinance as approved through the original Master Sign
Plan.
3. That 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.
4. That the location and design of the proposed signs do not obscure existing or adjacent
signs from view.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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 Modification to
an existing Master Sign Plan (PLN2011-105) to allow new signage on property located at
1875 S. Bascom Avenue, Suite 405, known as the Pruneyard Shopping Center within the
C-2 (General Commercial) Zoning District.
