NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Dublin
does hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Amendment to the
Sybase Master Sign Program.
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 "Signs Subject To Permits," and 8.84.110
"Regulations for Wall Signs and Projecting Signs." All proposed signage will conform to the
overall design and layout of the complex.
Co
The proposed sign has been designed to be compatible with the style and character of the
improvements on the site and is consistent with other signage on site
The proposed signage is visible and legible. It does not cause glare or disrupt the flow of
pedestrian or vehicular traffic, and it conforms with the Design Criteria in Section 8.84.060, of the
Zoning Ordinance. The scale of this proposed sign is compatible with the existing signs and layout
of the campus office complex.
mo
Approval of the Amendment to the Sybase Master Sign Program 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.
Fo
Approval of the Amendment to the Sybase Master Sign Program 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.
Go
The proposed Amendment to the Sybase Master Sign Program comprehensively considered site
layout, vehicular access, circulation, parking, setbacks, height, walls, public safety, and similar
elements to ensure that the Master Sign Program design contributes to 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 proposed sign 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 PA 02-050, the Amendment to the Sybase Master Sign Program and supercedes their
approval of November 26, 2002. This approval shall be generally depicted on the plans stamped received
on March 31, 2003 and on file with the Dublin Planning Department
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Attachment 1, Master Sign Program with the
modifications hereinabove set forth is appended to the previously approved Master Sign Program.
