ANALYSIS:
The Applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use
Permit (PA 90-113) to allow one Directional Tract Sign for the
Dublin Meadows residential development pro-ect on the currently
undeveloped parcel located on the east sidE! Of San Ramon Road,
north of Dublin Boulevard and the Chevron service station.
The Applicant is requesting two other Directional Tract
Signs for Dublin Meadows, one at Dougherty Road, the other at
Silvergate Drive. They are being considerE!d under separate
planning applications PA 90-111 and PA 90-112.
The proposed 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 would be perpendicular to San
Ramon Road with a 5 foot setback from the south side property
line. The proposed sign would be set back approximately 20 feet
from the west property line, and is intendE!d to be read by
northbound traffic.
This lot has supported other Directional Tract Signs in the
past. The Images and Torrey Pines development currently have
signs on this parcel. The Images' approval. (PA 90-101) expires
December 27, 1992 and Torrey Pines' approv«1 (PA 90-075) expires
October 1, 1992.
Dublin Meadows is currently requesting occupancy for the
first two phases. The draft resolution grELnts a two year time
period for the Conditional Use Permit, which is standard for this
type of permit.
The proposed sign is consistent with the City's Zoning
ordinance in all aspects (size, height, location and sign
content), and it has been reviewed by all ELpplicable departments.

To Whom It May Concern,
Sign Technology is assisting the developers, Prime Vest, in
the marketing of their subdivision, Dublin Meadows,
situated in the City of Dublin,
To do this we wish to locate three subdivision directional
signs within the city so that potential home buyers may
find the subdivision without difficulty.
Home buyers looking for new subdivisions soon become
frustrated if they can't find them easily and will drive on
to other divisions in nearby cities that are easier to
find.
A rapid sale of these condominiums not only helps the
developer, but also the City of Dublin.
