PREVIOUS PA 99-062
WHEREAS, Ernest Piccone has requested approval of an Amendment to the existing Sybase
Master Sign Program; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Amendment to the Master Sign program would include a Sybase

The amendment to the Master Sign Program contributes to an effective and attractive identification
of the campus office complex and its users by providing clear, legible and succinct signage that
will identify and direct automobile and pedestrian traffic to the site.
The design quality of the site, improved with this amendment and the surrounding area will be
superior to the quality that would result under the regulations and standards of Section 8.84.40
"Sign Development Regulations"; 8.84.050, and Signs Subject To Permits, 8.84.110, "Regulations
for Wall Signs and Projecting Signs". All proposed signage will conform to the overall design and
layout of the complex.

All of the proposed signs have been designed to be compatible with the style and character of the
improvements on the site and they are well related to each other providing the recommendations
incorporated herein are applied to the proposed amendment.
The proposed signage is visible, legible, does not cause glare or disrupt the flow to pedestrian or
vehicular traffic and conforms with the Design Criteria in Section 8.84.060, of the Zoning
Ordinance. The proposed signs are of a scale that relates well to the existing signs and layout of
the campus office complex
The approval of the Amendment to the Sybase Master Sign Program, as conditioned, complies
with the General Plan and the general requirements established in the Zoning Ordinance because it
maintains a comprehensive, well-designed signage program for the development.
The approval of the Amendment to the Sybase Master Sign Program, as conditioned, will not
adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be
detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare because it promotes a sign program that
will provide effective and attractive identification for the site with modifications as referenced
herein.
H°
The proposed Amendment to the Sybase Master Sign Program considered site layout, vehicular
access, circulation, parking, setbacks, height, walls, public safety and similar elements to ensure
that the SDR design assists in the provision of a desirable environment.
Architectural considerations, including the character, scale and quality of the design, the
architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, building materials and colors, screening
of exterior appurtenances, exterior lighting, and similar elements have been incorporated into the
Amendment where appropriate, in order to insure the compatibility of the wall signs with the site
design concept and the character of adjacent buildings and uses.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Planning Commission of the City of Dublin does hereby
approve the Amendment to the Sybase Master Sign Program for PA 02-050. This approval shall be
generally depicted on the plans prepared by §quare Peg Design herein, labeled Attachment 1, stamped
approved and on file with the Dublin Planning Department with the following modifications: The chrome
letters shall be reduced to 48 inches in height and the perforated aluminum panel on which the sign is
placed and mounted to the building shall be reduced in size to more appropriately "fit" the structure
designating the sign as a "minor" building identification sign and said sign shall not protrude above the
parpet.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Attachment 1, Master Sign Program with the modifications
hereinabove set forth revises and supercedes the existing Master Sign Program.
