This is effective May 18, 2006. The fourteen-calendar day appeal will expire on June 2, 2006. Enclosures: Design Review Committee Report of May 18, 2006 Resolution No. 236 & 237 Approved Plan Set To: From: Subject: Location: Design Review Committee Gary Chao, Associate Planner Application: ASA-2006-08, EXC-2006-05 10625 N. De Anza Blvd. Date: May 18, 2006 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Architectural and Site approval to increase the height of the canopy fascia from 25 inches to 48 inches and sign exceptions for two signs to exceed the maximum allowed sign height and for two additional walls signs at an existing service station. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends: 1) Denial of ASA-2006-08, based on the model resolution, and 2) Approval of EXC-2006-05 as modified, based on the model resolution. BACKGROUND: On May 8, 2006, the applicant obtained a Director's Minor Modification (DIR-2006-I4) for minor exterior color and sign changes (Exhibit A) to the subject gas station. The scope of the minor modification approval included exterior color/striping changes to the existing canopy, new non-illuminated canopy logos and walI! ground sign replacements. The director's approval did not include the increase of the canopy fascia from 25 inches to 48 inches as shown on the plans. The applicant, Sal Pablo (Sign Development Inc.), requests the following: 1. Increase the height of the canopy fascia (25 inches to 48 inches) 2. Exception to allow two signs to exceed 18 inches in height 3. Exception to allow two additional wall signs DISCUSSION: Canopy Fascia As it exists, the gas station canopy is attached to the service building and shares the same slope tile roof design with a 25-inch fascia board all around (see photo below). The applicant proposes to increase the canopy fascia to 48 inches in order to facilitate the new larger illuminated canopy logos and also the new color bands (see illustration below). --- -.- ..- ...-...-.-.-..- g~,Q:. .... ...---...- - --.- ...---- ~e ® , :48" !I oj BUiLDING 'i ~l , ~ ! ! . ' , , b SOUTH CANOPY ELEVATION The proposed 48-inch fascia (sign band) acts like a parapet wall that screens the existing sloped roof. As a result, the canopy roof is visually transformed into a flat roof design that is inconsistent with the rest of the roof structure above the service station and adjacent buildings (see below picture of adjacent commercial building). .,"', Staff recommends denial of the request to increase the existing canopy fascia height for the above stated reasons. Number of Wall Signs According to the City's Sign Ordinance (17.24.060), each commercial business with exterior frontage shall be permitted one wall sign. A second wall sign is permitted provided that one of the following conditions is satisfied: 1. For businesses which do not have a ground sign and the business is adjacent to more than one street; or 2 2. The sign is directed to the interior of the project and not visible from a public right-of-way. Neither condition is applicable to the gas station since there is a monument sign and all of the proposed signs will be publicly visible. The applicant is proposing two circular wall signs on the gas station canopy facing the northbound and southbound traffic on De Anza Blvd. In addition, a food mart/ auto center sign is proposed on the service building facing east. Staff supports the exception to allow two additional signs on the gas station canopy in order to provide reasonable sign visibility to both the public from both directions on De Anza Blvd. All of the signs proposed are within the required sign width and area. Wall Sign Height According to the Sign Ordinance Section 17.24.060, wall signs shall not exceed 18 inches if the setback from the property line is 50 feet or less. The two circular 76 signs located on the gas station canopy (setback approximately 30 feet) are proposed at 45 inches in height. Staff recommends that these two signs be reduced to be no more than 24 inches in height in order to be more proportional with the existing canopy sign band and provide better visibility for a gasoline station that is partially obscured by mature offsite landscaping on the adjacent property and in the street median. Findin~s for Exception Per Section 17.44.040 of the Municipal Code, the Design Review Committee may grant an exception based upon the following findings: A. Literal Enforcement of the Sign Regulations are Inconsistent with Spirit and Intent of Sign Ordinance The intent of the Sign Ordinance is to "provide architectural and aesthetic harmony of signs as they relate to building design" and to "promote attractive and effective signs." Due to the gas station canopy orientation, additional wall signs are necessary in order to provide effective and visible signs from De' Anza Blvd. In addition, the proposed signs (with the staff suggested height reduction) are architecturally compatible with the existing building and canopy provided that the existing canopy fascia is not increased in height. B. The granting of tIre exception will not result in a condition which is materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare The additional signage and taller sign heights will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare. C. Least Modification and Minimum Variance to Accomplish Purpose The proposed signage shall be consistent with the sign ordinance in terms of total size. The exception requested is to allow two additional wall signs on the gas station canopy. 3 In addition, the exception allows the two canopy signs to exceed the maximum sign height to improve sign visibility on a site obscured by mature landscaping. Staff therefore recommends approval of the sign exception per the model resolution.
