RESOLUTION NO. 241
OF THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
APPROVING A SIGN EXCEPTION TO ALLOW A SECOND WALL
(LOGO) SIGN ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND A
MAXIMUM WALL SIGN HEIGHT OF UP TO FIVE (5) FEET FOR AN
APPROVED ENTERTAINMENT CENTER AT 19625 STEVENS CREEK
BOULEVARD
SECTION I: PROTECT DESCRIPTION
Application No.: EXC-2006-08
Applicant: Jim Hutchinson for Chuck E. Cheese Entertainment, Inc.
Location: 19625 Stevens Creek Boulevard
SECTION II: FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee of the City of Cupertino received an
application for a Sign Exception, as described in this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee finds that the changes are beneficial and
compatible with the surrounding area;
1. 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 taller logo sign is
necessary because the primary audience is young children who do not read and
the building is setback far from the street;
2. That the granting of the exception will not result in a condition which is
materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, instead young
children will have an easier time locating the business; and
3. 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. The sign area is under the maximum allowed by the sign code. The
revised sign height will provide adequate visibility for younger patrons.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That after careful consideration of maps, facts, exhibits, testimony and other evidence
submitted in this matter, the application no. EXC-2006-08, is hereby approved; and
Resolution No.241 EXC-2006-08 September 21, 2006
