g. The Development Code, Section 17.74, requires that a Uniform Sign Program be
established for all new multi-tenant shopping centers, office parks, and other multi-tenant, mixed-use, or
otherwise integrated developments of three (3) or more separate tenants/uses that share buildings, public
spaces, landscape, and/or parking facilities. The proposed USP contains provisions that regulate permanent
building signage for each individual tenant as well as permanent monument signage for property
identification. The USP allows for a maximum of one face-lit or halo-lit wall sign per elevation but in no
instance will more than two wall signs be allowed. The size and height of the letters, and the number of wall
signs allowed per tenant comply with the technical standards described in the Development Code and are
consistent with other previously approved Uniform Sign Programs. The USP indicates that there will be a
total of three property identification (monument) signs, one sign to be located along Spruce Avenue and the
other signs to be located along Foothill Boulevard; and
h. These signs are typical for commercial buildings; and
i. The potential size, location, and placement of the signs will be integrated and compatible
with the architecture of the buildings and the site; and
j. The related Design Review DRC2015-00756 proposes two (2) multi-tenant buildings,
with a combined floor area of approximately 15,979 square feet, on a parcel of 2.25 acres in the
Industrial Park (IP) District; and
k. The related Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM19666 proposes the subdivision of a parcel
of 2.25 acres, into two (2) parcels, in the Industrial Park (IP) District; and
I. The related Tree Removal Permit DRC2015-00759 proposes the removal of 42 non-
heritage trees and 8 heritage trees. The 50 trees will be replaced with a minimum of 79 trees with a
minimum 24-inch box and 15-gallon size trees; and
m. The related Conditional Use Permit DRC2015-00760 proposes to allow retail sales
within one of the two (2) proposed multi-tenant buildings.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced
hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission
hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed Uniform Sign Program is consistent with the development standards for
signs as provided in Chapter 17.74 (Sign Regulations for Private Property); and
b. The design, location, and scale of proposed signs for the integrated development are in
keeping with the architectural character of the development.
4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA
Guidelines, the City staff reviewed environmental studies to determine the potential environmental effects of
Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM19666 and Development Review DRC2015-00756 — the primary
development projects with which this Uniform Sign Program is associated. Based on these environmental
studies, Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)and the City's CEQA Guidelines as a Class
32 (CEQA Guidelines Section 15332) exemption, which covers in-fill development on no more than 5 acres
substantially surrounded by urban uses.
