APPLICABLE REGULATIONS:
Section 8-31.18 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance specifies in
part that if in the opinion of the Planning Commission, the minor
modification to a proposed structure, facility or land use not
indicated on a land use and development plan (Planned
Development) approved by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors
does not materially change the provisions of the approved land
use and development plan, the structure, facility or land use may
be permitted subject to securing a Conditional Use Permit.
Section 8-87.23 of the Dublin Sign Ordinance specifies in
part the type, size, location and character of signs established
in a PD (Planned Development) District shall be as stipulated by
the Zoning Ordinance establishing the PD (Planned Development)
District.
Section 8-94.0 states that conditional uses must be analyzed
to determine: 1) whether or not the use is required by the
public need; 2) whether or not the use will be properly related
to other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the
vicinity; 3) whether or not the use will materially affect the
health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity;
and 4) whether or not the use will be contrary to the specific
intent clauses or performance standards established for the
district in which it is located.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The project has been found to be
Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15301, Class 1(g)
and Section 15311, Class 11(a) of the California Environmental
Quality Act guidelines. This use consists of the construction of
a new on -premise sign and the maintenance of existing on -premise
signs appurtenant to an existing retail/commercial center
involving no expansion of use beyond that previously existing.
NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the November 16, 1992, hearing
was published in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property
owners, and posted in public buildings.
ANALYSIS:
The Applicant is requesting Conditional Use Permit approval
for modification to the existing PD (Planned Development)
District to establish a uniform sign program for the existing
Valley Center shops. The Applicant's proposal is to maintain and
modify the existing roof -mounted cabinet signs and to construct a
new "low profile" freestanding sign to identify the name of the
shopping center.
This Conditional Use Permit request is to bring the existing
roof -mounted cabinet signs into compliance with the Dublin Sign
Ordinance. The cabinet signs were identified as nonconforming by
Ordinance No. 7-86.
-3-
s'A;G:.. ._. OF
Roof -Mounted Cabinet Signs
Each of the existing roof -mounted cabinet signs are 2 feet 6
inches in height and vary in length from 9 feet to 23 feet 5
inches. The cabinet signs are internally illuminated and were
designed to match the existing architecture of the shopping
center.
A neon cocktail glass is attached to the cabinet sign which
identifies the business known as Evie's Place. This neon
cocktail glass will be removed since its dimensions, including
the dimensions of the cabinet sign, will exceed the height and
sign area maximums allowed by the ordinance. Since the neon
cocktail glass helps identify Evie's location and use, the
business owner may utilize this sign by relocating it inside the
front window of the tavern.
The kiosk, which is currently occupied by a business known
as "Mom's Flower Cart", does not have any signage identifying the
use. The previous occupant, known as "The Photo Place", utilized
the lexan faced panels on the east and west elevations of the
kiosk for signage as shown on Exhibit A. A condition has been
included in the draft resolution (Exhibit C) identifying signage
for the kiosk structure.
"Low Profile" Freestanding Sian
The proposed low profile freestanding sign will be 4 feet in
height, 6 feet 10 inches in length, with a total sign copy area
of 21.6 square feet (10.8 square feet per sign face). This sign
will be located within the existing parking spaces which face
Amador Valley Boulevard as shown on the site plan, Exhibit A.
The placement and location of the low profile freestanding
sign will not obstruct or hinder access to the parking lot or
block visibility to traffic or pedestrians along Amador Valley
Boulevard. The proposed freestanding sign location will not
remove any of the required parking spaces for the shopping
center. The parking spaces on both sides of the low profile
freestanding sign will be marked and designated as compact
parking spaces.
The Assistant City Engineer has indicated that the proposed
location for the low profile freestanding sign will not cause any
visibility problems to vehicles or pedestrians entering or
exiting the shopping center, or to traffic along Amador Valley
Boulevard, and will not be located within the public right-of-
way.
-4-
Conclusion
Conditions have been incorporated into the draft resolution
to assure compliance with the provisions of the Sign Ordinance in
all aspects (i.e., size, height, location, and sign content).
This Conditional Use Permit application has been reviewed by the
Public Works Department, Building Inspection, Dougherty Regional
Fire Authority and Dublin Police Services, with no additional
comments or concerns addressed.
Staff recommends approval of the Applicant's Conditional Use
Permit request subject to the conditions of approval specified in
the Draft Resolution, Exhibit C.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
FORMAT: 1) Open public hearing and hear Staff presentation.
2) Take testimony from Applicant and the public.
3) Question Staff, Applicant and the public.
4) Close public hearing and deliberate.
5) Adopt the Draft Resolution approving PA 92-062 and
PA 92-063, or give Staff and Applicant direction
and continue the matter.
ACTION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the
Draft Resolution (Exhibit C) approving PA 92-062 and
PA 92-063 Valley Center Sign Program Conditional Use
Permit.
