' SECTION I: PROJECT DESCRIPTION
( Application No.: 5-EXC-98
Applicant: Cupertino City Center Buildings, Inc.
� AMCOE Sign Co./Steve Coulthard
Location: 20450 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 result in restrictions
inconsistent with the spirit and intent of this title, in that a regulation-sized wall si�;n
would be difficult to see from the adjacent street and a sign projecting above the roof
line of the subject building would not necessarily have negative aesthetic effects.
b) That the granting of the exception will not result in a condition which is materially
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, in that potential glare from sign
illumination can be alleviated by using a reverse pan channel letter design and
adjusting wattage and sign materials; and

�
� a) That the exception to be granted is one that will require the least moditication of the
� prescribed regulations and the minimum variance that will accomplish the purpose, in
� that the larger wall sign is not disproportionate to the size and setback of the buildin�
and is moderately identifiable from the street given its proposed size.
� NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
r
( That after careful consideration of maps, facts, exhibits, testimony and other evidence
submitted in this matter, the exception to the sign program is hereby approved subject to
the conditions which are enumerated in this Resolution; and

That the subconclusions upon which the findings and conditions specitied in this
