(c) The application contemplates the installation of a 44
square foot wall sign on the south side of the newly installed pump island
canopy facing Foothill Boulevard;

walls, rather than a roof canopy, as proposed;

maximum allowable sign area of 10 percent of a building face, as per Rancho
Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 14.20.100. The application proposes a sign
area of approximately 55 percent.

store building which is approximately the same distance from Foothill
