A RESOLUTION OF THE DUBLIN PLANNING COMMISSION
UPHOLDING THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S ACTION DENYING PA 87-161
THE GOOD GUYS (APPLICANTS)/ENEA PROPERTIES COMPANY (OWNERS) -
SIGN LOCATION VARIANCE REQUEST,
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF DUBLIN BOULEVARD AND AMADOR PLAZA ROAD
WHEREAS, Gregg Steele, on behalf of The Good Guys, Inc., has filed
an application for a Sign Location Variance from Sections 8-87.33 and 8-87.10
p) and s) of the City's Zoning Ordinance to allow construction of a Wall-
mounted Business Sign which is not located on the Primary or Secondary
Building Frontage of the retail space which it is proposed to identify; and
WHEREAS, the application has been reviewed in accordance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and has been found to
be categorically exempt; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Administrator held a public hearing on said
application on December 1, 1987; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all
respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted recommending denial of the
Variance application; and
WHEREAS, after hearing and considering all said reports,
recommendations and testimony, the Zoning Administrator denied the Sign
Location Variance request; and
WHEREAS, on December 4, 1987, Gregg Steele, representing The Good
Guys, Inc. (Applicant), filed an appeal of the Zoning Administrator's action;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on said
appeal on January 4, 1987; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all
respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted recommending that the
Planning Commission uphold the Zoning Administrator's action and deny the Sign
Location Variance request; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission heard and considered all said
reports, recommendations and testimony as hereinabove set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Planning Commission does
hereby find that:
A. There are no special circumstances related to size, shape, topography,
location or surroundings of The Good Guys tenant space or Building B of
the Enea Plaza Shopping Center which would warrant granting a Sign
Location Variance, in that the visibility of the subject tenant space is
commensurate with others within the immediate vicinity and zone, given
Building B's visual relationship to a major arterial roadway (Dublin
Boulevard) and collector street (Amador Plaza Road).
B. There is nothing unique or special regarding the size, shape or topo-
graphy of the proposed Good Guys Tenant Space or Building B which would
preclude the Applicants from maintaining a strict compliance with the
locational requirements for Wall Signs. The granting of this Variance
would constitute a special privilege and may set an inappropriate
precedent for similar, future Variance requests.

C. The granting of this Sign Location Variance would not be detrimental to
persons or property in that establishing The Good Guys proposed Wall
Sign would create signage of a uniform design and location of that
proposed for the remainder of Building A.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Planning Commission does hereby
deny Sign Location Variance PA 87-161.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 4th day of January, 1988.
