NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the May 15, 1995,hearing was published in the local
newspaper, mailed to adjacent property owners,and posted in public buildings.
ANALYSIS:
The Applicant, Mr.Steve Haworth,General Manager of Valley Auto Center,is requesting
Master Sign Program approval to establish a uniform sign program for the entire automobile
dealership facility. The Applicant's proposal also includes modifications and improvements to the
exterior facades of the existing showrooms and service building elevations and revisions to the
landscaping.
Valley Auto Center is a full service and sales automobile dealership which carries four
separate automobile product lines(Nissan,Dodge,Volkswagen and Audi). Recently,Valley Auto
Center acquired the adjacent 2.24± acre vacated Scotsman Manufacturing Corporation site as an
expansion to the dealership facility.
As indicated by the project proposal letter and written statements(Attachment 1),this
Master Sign Program proposal is to provide the dealership with a uniform and legible format of
signage that will provide clarity and allow for better viewing and quick understanding of advertised
dealership products and services available to motorists traveling on the east and west bound lanes
of Interstate 580. The additional improvements and modifications proposed for the exterior of the
building's facades and to the landscaping will greatly enhance the uniform signage proposals and
the overall image of the entire dealership facility.
Conditional Use Permit
A Conditional Use Permit approval is required to erect a changeable copy,electronic
readerboard type freestanding sign. This freestanding sign will be the main identification and
product lines advertising sign for the entire dealership. The proposed sign will be placed in the
same planter location of the existing 35-foot tall "Nissan"freestanding sign. The "Nissan"
freestanding sign will be relocated to another landscaped planter location as shown on Exhibit A.
According to the sign manufacturer,the amount of illumination used for the electronic
readerboard will not cause any glare or impair the vision of any motorists since it will be
illuminated by photocells which automatically dim according to ambient light. The sign's
illumination will not interfere with or simulate any official traffic control sign,devices or signals.
The product line panels and the dealer identification portions of the sign will have internal
illumination similar to the existing signs on the site.
The proposed electronic readerboard sign has been reviewed by the Caltrans Outdoor
Advertising Branch and the Applicant has received an approved Outdoor Advertising Permit from
Caltrans for the proposed freestanding sign(Attachment 2). In compliance with the State Outdoor
Advertising Act,the Applicant is required to use the readerboard display only to advertise the
business conducted or services rendered or goods produced or sold on the property on which the
sign display is placed,and/or to give public service information,including,but not limited to,the
time,date,temperature,weather,or similar information. Per the State Outdoor Advertising Act
requirements,the readerboard sign must meet the following criteria:
1. The proposed display will have no illumination that is flashing,intermittent, moving or
appears to be in motion.
2. The display message will not change at a rate faster than one message every four seconds.
3. The interval between messages will not be less than one second. rn
-6- PAGE tV OF
4. The intensity of illumination will not change.
5. The proposed display will not be placed within 1,000 feet of another message center
display on the same side of the highway.
Section 8.08.020 ILL)of the sign regulations does specify that an Electronic Readerboard,
or other Changeable Copy sign on which the copy is manually or electronically changed, "is
intended primarily to promote items of general interest to the community such as time,
temperature and/or date". This definition also allows for the use and/or display of messages used
to advertise the business conducted or services rendered or goods produced or sold on the
property on which the sign display is placed.
The primary intent and use of the electronic readerboard sign is to promote items of general
interest to the community and provide public service information. Staff has included a condition in
the Draft Resolution(Exhibit D),specifying that the Applicant will provide a schedule or program
mutually acceptable to both the Applicant and Staff,indicating the type of public service
information and/or general interest messages(i.e., "Welcome To Dublin",or"Dublin St. Patrick's
Day Parade")to be used on the electronic readerboard sign.
Site Development Review
The proposed modifications to the existing showrooms and service building elevations
facing Scarlett Court are needed in order to repair the deteriorated wood trim and missing tiles on
the facades. As shown on Plan A-2&A-3 of Exhibit A,an outdoor vehicle display platform is also
proposed and will be located between the"Nissan"and the"Volkswagen/Audi"showrooms.
New facade connectors will be installed above the driveway area between the two
showroom building's and above the vehicle display platform. The overall design and upgrades to
the buildings facades will enhance and improve the visual appearance of the dealership. The
landscaping revisions will also improve the image of the dealership and will match the landscaping
improvements proposed for the expanded dealership site at 6085 Scarlett Court.
Master Sign Program
Through the Master Sign Program approval,the Applicant would be allowed to 1) have the
electronic readerboard freestanding sign be at a height of 56 feet, and 2) allow the use of more
than one freestanding sign per parcel.
As shown on Exhibit A,the individual product line panels below the electronic readerboard
is at a height of 28 feet,which is the height needed to provide sufficient and unobstructed
visibility from the elevated west bound lanes of Interstate-580. The remainder of the readerboard
copy area including the dealership name is in proportion and scale to the entire height,width and
design of the freestanding sign. To provide a visible scale for comparison of the height of the
proposed readerboard sign,the Civic Center's Clock Tower is at a height of 70 feet with the
center of the clock at a height of 50 feet.
As shown on Exhibit A,the sign copy area of the electronic readerboard freestanding sign
will be as follows:
Electronic Readerboard: 10'x 31' (310 square feet per side)
"Valley Auto Center": 4'4"x 31' (135 square feet per side)
(5)Product Line Panels: 13'x 12' (156 square feet per side)
Total Area: = 601 square feet per side
-7 PAGE 0
Section 8.08.120(H) (I),specifies that a freestanding sign may be permitted to have a
height to 35 feet and a sign area of 150 square feet per side and heights above 35 feet or a sign
area greater that 150 square feet per side may be permitted pursuant to a Master Sign Program
approval.
The Applicant may utilize either the existing previously approved wall-mounted signs
currently in use or install new wall-mounted signs to the upgraded facades,as shown on Plan A-5
&A-6,of Exhibit A. New low profile directional signs will be installed within the landscaped areas
at the entrances to the site as shown by the various proposals on Plan A-5&A-6 of Exhibit A.
The installation and/or relocation of any signage used on the site will require compliance with the
sign regulations as well as building permit approval.
The Applicant's proposed Master Sign Program is consistent with the provisions specified
in the sign regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff recommends the Planning Commission
adopt the Draft Resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit for the changeable copy,
electronic readerboard freestanding sign,the Draft Resolution approving the Site Development
Review for the upgrades and improvements to the buildings and landscaping and the Draft
Resolution approving the Master Sign Program Site Development Review.
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 Resolutions approving the Conditional Use Permit,the Site
Development Review and the Master Sign Program Site Development Review
request or give Staff and Applicant direction and continue the matter.
ACTION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the Draft Resolutions,
Exhibits B,C and D,approving the Conditional Use Permit,the Site Development
Review and the Master Sign Program Site Development Review for PA 95-006
Valley Auto Center.

Attn.: Ralph Kachadourian
Dear Sir,
RE: Valley Auto Center-Submission of plans to DRC.
Please be informed that following our meeting we prepared, as requested by you,the additional information
about the submitted design intent.
As we agreed the Project will be reviewed for the main monument sign and also items like new fascia
signage and display areas with flag poles and trees.
We prepared the plans originally with the intent to have the design reviewed and approved regarding all
items shown at the same time. This approach will allow the Owner to upgrade entire signage and amenities
of the site simultaneously.
The fascias need work, the wood structure is deteriorated and the tiles are missing. Landscaping needs
revamping and the fascia signage needs to be unified under one signage master plan as we intended to do.
We would like to thank you for your assistance to expedite the Project for the Valley Auto Center through
one tier approval process.
Yours truly,
41(..je,y

THE STATEMENT
A)The installation of unified and comprehensive signage at the Valley Auto Center Site is needed by both
the public traveling along 1580 and the Owner.
The signage as is,does not provide uniform nor legible format. This situation is not satisfactory
for the business advertising.
Clarity of expression and uniformity will allow better viewing as well as quick understanding by
travelers what is being advertised.
T5P
B) The signage use will be compatible with the land use no the Property and with adjacent properties.
C) The Signage will not have any impact on the health and safety of persons residing and/or working
in the vicinity. Quite contrary,the new signage will improve the visibility and prevent clutter,
allowing for smooth traffic flow,without a visual distraction.
D) The Signage is not contrary to the specific intent clauses or performance standards established for
this district. Further it establishes in conjunction with the City Planning Department the new
standards for the signage within automotive uses.
The Signage will be located on the fascias of the show room buildings housing cars and automotive
products. The new signage will be located in two areas.
One area will be on the Tall monument Sign visible from the highway in both directions. The monument
will be set back into the existing Parking area,lessening the sign height impact.
The colors and the type of lettering will clearly in one spot indicate to the public what is being sold in the
complex.
Existing building fascias will be unified coloristically and receive lit lettering describing what car type is
housed in the particular building. This signage is intended for the passengers of passing by vehicles.
The new sign fascias will extend over presently open atriums,creating more unified sign program. The new
signage will provide non glaring,unscattered and legible source of the automotive information.
The surrounding neighborhood is not going to be adversely affected by the new signage,since it is
compatible with the proposed use.
The new pattern will enhance the neighborhood allowing the new example for other businesses to follow.
The are no hazardous materials within site
The only items that are stored of the hazardous nature are the oil bins,sealed and stored in approved storage
areas.
