PUBLIC HEARING:
1. Application No.(s): EXC- 2010 -10
Applicant: Sign Development, Inc (Valero Service Station)
Location: 1699 S De Anza Blvd
Sign Exception request to allow for three wall signs where one is allowed at an existing
service station
Design Review Committee decision final unless appealed.
Staff member Schroeder explained that the service station already has a ground sign and is
allowed one wall sign. The Sign Exception application is to install two additional wall signs. The
service station is located on the corner of Prospect Road and De Anza Boulevard. The Applicant

will be installing one wall sign on the building front facing De Anza to advertise the food
center. They would like to place the other two signs on the service station canopy facing the
traffic traveling north and south on De Anza Boulevard. The canopy signs are proposed to be
illuminated. The applicant will be installing these sign in conjunction with other sign work they
will be doing. They will be lowering the ground sign to meet code and will be adding small
Valero signs with company logos on them to the canopy. Staff has surveyed twelve other
service stations in the area. They all have similar signage. The Committee has approved several
similar applications in the past few years for additional signage at service stations. Since this
request is similar in nature to other approved requests, the signs are architecturally compatible
and are minimally distracting to pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, Staff supports the project.
The Committee members did not have any questions. The applicant did not wish to address the
Committee. A resident spoke in favor of having sign exception applications being heard by the
Design Review Committee.
