02. EXC-2006-04 Wayne Okubo CITY OF CUPERTINO 10300 Torre Avenue, Cupertino, California 95014 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT FORM Application: Applicant: Property Owner: Property Location: EXC-2006-04 Agenda Date: May 23, 2006 Wayne Okubo (Wahoo's Fish Taco) Evershine VI, LP 19626 Stevens Creek Boulevard Application Summary: Sign exception to allow exposed neon on two wall signs at the Marketplace shopping center. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve EXC-2006-04 subject to the model resolution. BACKGROUND: On April 6, 2002, the Design Review Commission approved a master sign program for the Marketplace Shopping Center. The location, design and size of Wahoo's signs were approved as part of the master program. The applicant is now requesting approval to allow for neon accents around the logo on the signs. The use of exposed neon requires a sign exception from the Planning Commission to ensure that the neon is used tastefully. The most recent cases of the City allowing the use of neon was with BJ's Restaurant in September of 2002 and Elephant Bar Restaurant in September of 2004. DISCUSSION: The intent of the Sign Ordinance is to: · Provide architectural and aesthetic harmony of signs as they relate to building design. · Allow for good visibility for the public and the needs of the business. · Provide regulations that will be compatible with the building, siting, and the land uses. The applicant is proposing to accent the fish logo on the both of the wall signs with a thin white strip of neon to help delineate the shape of the fish. The proposed neon is not excessive or distracting to the public and is harmonious with the building design and the rest of the shopping center. In addition, the accent neon will help improve the individual identification of the business. The rest of the sign will not have any exposed neon. Staff supports the proposed neon trim. I ~- EXC-2006-04 CITY OF CUPERTINO 10300 Torre Avenue Cupertino, California 95014 MODEL RESOLUTION OF THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO FOR A SIGN EXCEPTION TO ALLOW EXPOSED NEON ON TWO WALL SIGNS AT MARKETPLACE SHOPTING CENTER SECTION I: PROTECT DESCRIPTION Application No.: Applicant: Location: EXC-2006-04 Wayne Okubo (Wahoo's Fish Taco) 19626 Stevens Creek Boulevard SECTION II: FINDINGS WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Cupertino received an application for an exception to the Sign Code, as described in this Resolution; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds the following with regards to this application: a) That the literal enforcement of the provIsIons of this title will not result in restrictions inconsistent with the spirit and intent of this title, in that the exposed neon accent trim does improve the identification of the business and is harmonious with the design of the buildingf signs; b) That the granting of the exception will not result in a condition which is not detrimental to public health, safety and welfare; and c) That the exception to be granted is one that will require the least modification of the prescribed regulations and the minimum variance that will accomplish the purpose in that the exposed neon accent is only around the fish logo on the wall signs.
