NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the December 1.7, 1990, hearing was published in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in public buildings. ANALYSIS: The Applicant is requesting renewal of a Conditional Use Permit (PA 88-058) to allow the existing Directional TrE.ct Sign for the "Images" residential development project on the currently undeveloped parcel located on the east side of San Ramon Road, north of Dublin Boulevard and the Chevron service station. The Images residential development is currently being constructed in three phases. Ahmanson Development has indicated to Staff that they expect completion of the first phase by Spring 1991. At: that time, they plan to begin construction of the second phase and anticipate completion of the third and final phase of the development by December 1992. The existing sign is a 10 foot tall, single: faced sign with a total of 32 square feet (4 feet x 8 feet) of sign area identifying the name of the subdivision and directions for reaching the development. The sign is perpendicular to San Ramon Road and is setback approximately 20 feet from the curb face along San Ramon Road. The undeveloped :Lot has supported Directional Tract Signs in the past. Currently there are two signs at this location. One recently approved by the Commission for Marketshare, Inc. (Kildara) PA 90.053, expires on August 30, 1992, however, this sign may be removed pending the Planning Commissions' consideration of Kildara's request to place a Directional Tract Sign on the Tru-Value Hardward Store property on the west side of San Ramon Road.
