To: Mayor and City Council members
Chairman and Planning Commissioners
From: Steve Piasecki, Director of Community Development
Date: February 11, 2005
Subject: Director's Minor Modification DIR-2004-32 to reface an existing canopy,
replace signs and install a new rooftop fascia on an existing gasoline station
located at 19550 Stevens Creek Boulevard.
Chapter 19.132 of the Cupertino Municipal Code allows for administrative
approval of minor changes in a project. The Director reports his decision
to the City Council and Planning Commission in time to allow an appeal
of the decision within fourteen calendar days.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant proposes to: 1) reface an existing canopy, 2)replace signs and add a logo
sign, and 3) install a new rooftop fascia on an existing gasoline station as part of a new
corporate imaging. Staff considers items #1 and #2 minor. The canopy refacing and
sign replacement will not significantly change the overall appearance of the facility.
There will be one new logo sign on the canopy that is considered by the sign ordinance
to be exempt because of its small size and lack of illumination.
Item #3, the instaUation of a 4-foot taU rooftop fascia on the building would have a
detrimental effect on the appearance of the building and is NOT APPROVED as part of
this Director's Approval. The proposed fascia is:
. Disproportionate in size to the rest of the building,
. Eliminates any consistency in design between the building and canopy,
and
. Creates a large vertical surface that is attractive for the placement of illegal
signs already on the building.
ACTION:
The Director of Community Development deems the modification minor and approves
the canopy refacing, sign changes and logo addition with the following conditions:
1. The approval is based on the attached plan set titled: "ConocoPhillips, Profit
Center #2611220, 19550 Stevens Creek Blvd., Cupertino, CA 95014" consisting of
DIR-2004-32

day appeal period will expire on February 25, 2005.
