Exception to Sign Ordinance #353, Sec. 6.131,to erect
a shopping center sign on Blaney Ave.. for the Boulevard
Shopping Center; which is located at Stevens Creek Blvd.
and Blaney Ave.
It was brought to the attention'of the Committee by the
Chief Building Inspector that this is an Exception to
a sign ordinance which was published in fhe Cupertino
Courier. The reason is that the new existing sign
ordinance requires that a shopping center, to qualify
for two pole signs must have 400 lineal f eet.of frontage
facing two public roadways and a minimum of 5 acres.
The Boulevard Shopping Center does comply with the 400
lineal feet, but is less than 5.acres.
After considerable discussion on the application, the
Committee recommended for approval to the City Council
Application 306-HC-67 to place a pole sign on the Blaney
Avenue frontage with the following conditions: That
it be no larger than 150 sq.ft. in area and similar in
quality to the existing shopping center sign.
