CC Resolution 8901
RESOLUTION NO. 8901
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL DENYING A REQUEST FOR
APPROVAL OF A SIGN APPLICATION TO ALLOW A
FREEW A Y-ORIENTED SIGN ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT
1875 S. BASCOM AVENUE. APPLICATION OF MR. CHRIS
MEANY, ON BEHALF OF THE PRUNEYARD. FILE NO.:
SA 95-24.
After notification and public hearing as specified by law on the application of
Mr. Chris Meany, on behalf of the Pruneyard, for approval of a Sign
Application to allow a freeway-oriented sign, 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 SA 95-24:
1. The proposal does not demonstrate that the business operation is
dependent upon freeway identification.
2. The site is highly visible and accessible from Campbell and Bascom
Avenues. It has not been demonstrated that the site has limited
visibility due to its shape, location or any other factors.
3. The site currently maintains a 172 square foot freeway sign.
4. Barnes & Noble is not a regional use that depends upon freeway
signage to provide identification of the store location, and has not
historically been located on sites near freeways or expressways to
facilitate identification and access.
5. There is no evidence presented by the applicant that a hardship would
be created for Barnes & Noble if this use is not identified on the
freeway oriented sign.
6. The applicant has not demonstrated that Barnes & Nobel is dependent
upon freeway identification.
7. Barnes & Noble will be identified on freestanding signs that will be
located on the frontages of the parcel.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council concludes that:
City Council Resolution No. 8901
SA 95-24 -- 1875 S. Bascom Avenue (The Prune yard)

1. The freeway sign will be detrimental to the public welfare or persons in
