One (1) price sign is permitted along each street frontage to a maximum of two (2) price signs. Each price sign may have a maximum single-faced area of sixteen (16) square feet, or a maximum double-faced area of thirty-two (32) square feet (maximum height six (6) feet) . A price sign may be attached to and made part of service station sign display structure pursuant to Secton 8-87.34 b) 3) D) . [Ord. No. 6-87, January 1987]" Section 8-87.67 establishes the procedure for processing sign Variance requests and establishes the following mandatory findings of fact. 1) the Variance authorized does not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity; 2) special conditions and extraordinary circumstances apply to the property and do not apply to other properties in the vicinit y, so that the strict application of this Chapter deprives the property of rights enjoyed by other properties; 3) the Variance authorized meets the intent and purpose sought to be achieved by the regulations in this Chapter; and 2 - 1 1 I f , 1 4) the Variance authorized does not adversely affect the orderly develop- ' ment of property and the preservation of property values in the vicinity. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Categorically Exempt, Class 5, Section 15305. BACKGROUND: On April 30, 1987, the Zoning Investigator notified the Applicant by certified mail of the illegal signs located on the property, two of which were price signs. Other existing signs located on the site include a three-sided monument sign which is non-conforming due to sign area and height, a� primary frontage wall-mounted sign which is conforming, and a secondar y frontage e wall mounted sign which is non-conforming due to excessive sign area. The Applicant subsequently submitted an application requesting approval of a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted sign area for two price signs at the Shell Service Station at 8999 San Ramon Road. On January 13, 1988 the Zoning Administrator held a public hearing to consider the variance application. After receiving testimony from Staff, the Applicant and the public, the Zoning Administrator adopted Resolution No , "001-88 denying the Variance request to exceed the maximum permitted sign area for two price signs. The Applicant subsequently appealed the Zoning Administrator's action to the Planning Commission. On February 16, 1988 the Planning Commission held a public hearing and adopted a Resolution upholding the Zoning Administrator's action denying the Variance request. The Applicant subsequently appealed the- Planning Commission Action and requested the appeal be considered at the April 11th City Council meeting. ANALYSIS: The Applicant is requesting approval of the Variance to allow two 4 ft. x 6 ft. double faced price signs each with a total of 48 square feet of sign area (one sign proposed to be located on San Ramon Road and the other currently existing sign is located on Alcosta Boulevard) . Each price sign exceeds the maximum permitted sign area by 16 square feet. The existing sign is considered illegal as it does not comply with the sign ordinance in effect while the City was under the jurisdiction of Alameda County. The City's Sign Ordinance permits service station price signs indicating gasoline prices and available service. Service stations are restricted to one price sign per street frontage to a maximum of two. The sign area is restricted to 16 square feet for single-faced signs and 32 square feet for doubled-faced signs. A typical price sign is approximately 3 ft. x 5 ft. 4 inches. The maximum permitted sign height for a price sign is six feet. These regulations have been in effect in Dublin since at least 1980, prior to the City's incorporation. The location, size and content of Service Station price signs are also regulated by the California State Business and Professions Code pertaining to Weights and Measures and Petroleum Products. The State Code requires Service Stations selling motor vehicle fuel to the public to advertise "the price of the three major grades of motor vehicle fuel offered for sale. " The City's Sign Ordinance is consistent with the State Code governing Service Station Price Signs. In order for the Applicant to retain the existing 48 square foot price sign and erect the second 48 square foot price sign, a Variance must be granted. The applicant indicates the increased sign area is necessary to compete with the Service Station on the north side of Alcosta Boulevard, located within the City of San Ramon and to advertise the sale of diesel fuel. The City of San Ramon Staff had informed Staff that the existing price signs at the Chevron Service Station exceed the City of San Ramon Sign Regulations. On February 16, 1988 the Planning Commission upheld the Zoning Administrator's action denying the Applicant's Variance request finding that: 3 - i r 1) Authorizing the Variance constitutes a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity as all properties within the City must comply with the City's sign regulations. 2) There are no special conditions or extraordinary circumstances which apply to the property and do not apply to other properties in the vicinity, so that the strict application of this Chapter deprives the property of the rights enjoyed by other properties. The service station is located on a relatively flat rectangular-shaped corner lot fronting two major arterial streets, a situation typical of most service stations within the City. The fact that the service station is located across the street from a service station in an adjoining City which may or may not permit larger price signs does not constitute a special condition or extraordinary circumstances as signs located within the City are governed by the City's sign regulations. The City's Sign Ordinance and I regulations are not directly influenced by surrounding communities. ` 3) Authorizing the Variance does not meet the intent and purpose sought to be achieved by the City's sign regulations. The Applicant's signs do not conform to the Ordinance's purpose to promote uniformity among signs. The City's Sign Ordinance recognizes that the community's attractiveness is an important aspect of the public's general welfare, and establishes reasonable control of signs to protect the public welfare, safety and health. In recognition of the need for controls on signs as a means of promoting uniformity and attractiveness within the City, and the need for businesses to identify themselves and the I services offered, the City's Sign Ordinance permits service station i price signs with restrictions on the number, size, height and location of signs. 4) Authorizing the Variance adversely affects the orderly development of property and the preservation of property values in the vicinity, as the Applicant's non-compliance with the City's Sign Ordinance does not promote the intent of the Ordinance as it does not promote uniformity, i an important aspect of orderly development. The Applicant's response to these findings is included in Attachment 1. The Applicant also stated that a larger price sign was needed to advertise diesel fuel in addition to the three types of gasoline. Staff believes that the sale of diesel fuel or other products does not meet the test I of being a unique characteristic of the site. Other gas stations in the City (Shell on Dublin Blvd. ; Express Gasoline and Union 76 on Amador Valley Blvd.) sell diesel fuel or other products. Staff concurs with the Planning Commission's action denying the Applicant's request to vary from the maximum permitted sign area for service station price signs and with the requirement for the Applicant to bring the illegal price sign into compliance with the City's Sign Ordinance within 30 days of the effective date of the denial. i Should the City Council wish to approve the proposed signs, Staff would recommend that the ordinance be amended. The City Council may initiate an i Amendment by Resolution. (Exhibit B) Staff recommends the City Council uphold the Planning Commission's Action denying PA 87-138.

A RESOLUTION OF THE DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL --------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPHOLDING THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S ACTION DENYING PA 87-138 SHELL SERVICE STATION VARIANCE REQUEST TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED SIGN AREA FOR TWO SERVICE STATION PRICE SIGNS AT THE SHELL SERVICE STATION ON ALCOSTA BOULEVARD AND SAN RAMON ROAD, 8999 SAN RAMON ROAD WHEREAS, Diane Lundquist representing Shell Oil Company filed a Variance application to allow one existing illegal Service Station price sign and one proposed Service Station price signs to exceed the maximum permitted sign area at the Shell Service Station at 8999 San Ramon Road; and WHEREAS, the application has been reviewed in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and has been found to be categorically exempt; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Administrator held a public hearing on said application on January 13, 1988; and WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and I WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted recommending denial of the Variance request to exceed the maximum permitted sign area for two service station price signs on the site at 8999 San Ramon Road; and WHEREAS, on January 13, 1988 the Zoning Administrator after hearing and considering all said reports, recommendations and testimony as hereinabove set forth, denied the Applicant's 'Variance request PA 87-138; and WHEREAS, the Applicant subsequently appealed the Zoning Administrator's Action; and WHEREAS on February 16, 1988 the Dublin Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the Appeal; and ! WHEREAS, the Planning Commission heard and considered all reports recommendations, and testimony on February 16, 1988, and upheld the Zoning Administrator's action denying the Variance request; and 1 WHEREAS, the Applicant and Mr. Theobold subsequently appealed the Planning Commission's action; and WHEREAS, on April 11, 1988 the Dublin City Council held a public hearing to consider the Appeal; and i NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council does hereby find that: 1) Authorizing the Variance constitutes a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity as all properties within the City must comply with the City's sign regulations. i ' 2) There are no special conditions or extraordinary circumstances which i apply to the property and do not apply to other properties in the vicinity, so that the strict application of this Chapter deprives the property of the rights enjoyed by other properties, as the service station is located on a relatively flat rectangular shaped corner lot fronting two major arterial streets, a situation typical of most r service stations within the City. The fact that the service station is located across the street from a service station in an adjoining City which has different Regulations concerning price signs, does not constitute a special condition or extra-ordinary circumstances as signs located within the. City are governed by the City's ,sign regulations. The City's Sign Ordinance and regulations are not directly influenced by surrounding communities. 3) Authorizing the Variance does not meet the intent and purpose sought to be achieved by the City's sign regulations as the Applicant's signs do not conform to the purpose of the Ordinance to promote uniformity among signs. The City's Sign Ordinance recognizes that the community's attractiveness is an important aspect of the public's general welfare, and establishes reasonable control of signs to protect the public welfare, safety and health. In recognition of the need for controls on signs as a means of promoting uniformity and attractiveness within the City, and the need for businesses to identify themselves and the services offered, the City's Sign Ordinance permits service station price signs with restrictions on the number, size, height and location of signs. 4) Authorizing the Variance adversely affects the orderly development of property and the preservation of property values in the vicinity, as the Applicant's non-compliance with the City's Sign Ordinance does not promote the intent of the Ordinance as it does not promote uniformity, an important aspect of orderly development. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE City Council does hereby uphold the Planning Commission's Action denying PA 87-138 Shell Service Station price sign Variance request to exceed the maximum permitted sign area for service station price signs, and directs the Applicant to bring the one existing price sign into conformance with the City's Zoning Ordinance relating to service station price signs within 30 days of the effective date of this denial.

A RESOLUTION OF THE DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL --------------------------------------------------------------------------- INITIATING AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO PROVIDE INCREASED SIGN AREA FOR SERVICE STATION PRICE SIGNS WHEN 4 OR MORE FUEL PRODUCTS ARE OFFERED BY A SERVICE STATION WHEREAS, The City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance permits service station price signs with restrictions on the number, location, height and sign area; and WHEREAS, the Ordinance established restrictions may be too restrictive for service stations offering 4 or more fuel products; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council does hereby initiate an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to provide increased sign area for service station price signs for service stations offering 4 or more fuel products.

' •-” D'.J�L�. pia -r,.-. , SHELL OIL COMPANY 8999-"SAN RAMON ROAD DUBLIN, CA VARIANCE APPLICATION Shell Oil Company requests a variance to allow the installation of two illuminated price signs.. These signs are 61 X 4' in size, to be located one along each frontage as indicated on the Plot Plan. This varies from the sign ordinance in that the maximum aggregate area for each sign as stated .in the ordinance is 32a feet. Shell is proposing a 48 sq sQUare f uare foot aggregate area. The signs would comply with the six-foot maximum j height restriction. FINDINGS NECESSPL?Y FOR APPROVAL 1 The variance must not constitute a grant of a special ( ) r r i • privilege inconsistent with othe_r prose_ties _n the vicinity. In the gasoline market, stations compete with each other in a limited trade area. This Shell Station is in direct competition with the Chevron located directly to the north, across Alcosta Blvd. Because the Chevron is within the City of San Ramon, it faces a different, more lenient sign ordinance. This is evidenced by the four price. siSns which are visible in Exhibit One. Exhibits Two and Three show other views of the station. Although Shell realizes that the City of Dublin is not influenced by San R2m- on`s ordinances, we ask you to consider that the gasoline customer is no: aware of what the ordinances are, he or she is looking for the price sign. (2) Special •conditions and e-xtraordinary circumstances apply to the property and do not apply to other properties in the vicinity, 'so that strict application of this Chapter deprives the property of rights enjoyed by other properties. To decrease the size of the sign to 16 square feet per side (32 square feet aggregate area) would require considerable downsizing of sign numerals in order to keep the brand recognition of the Shell logo on the sign.

(3) The variance must meet the intent and purpose sought to be achieved by the regulations in this Chapter. Shell Oil Company interprets this Chapter of the ordinance to prevent cheap, gaudy oversignage and to ensure that the City of Dublin remains pleasing to the eye of both residents and visitors. Maintaining attractive stations is a high priority with Shell Oil Company. Landscape improvements have been- done on both frontages, providing sod and annual color as shown in Exhibits Four and Five. The two signs Shell wishes to put up would not detract from this image. (4) The variance must not adversely affect the orderly development of the property and the preservation of property values in the vicinity. These two signs will not have a detrimental affect on either the development of the property or the property value of adjacent parcels. The sigr_age• is consistent with the image of the station and the surrounding vicinity. 6723104 S%H1 A4W YR."i Iry If Pt "Al 0. -for 05. q;4W z i �. / %16 it Ab At, ol l rn T %% % N Vc t -7- Foa to A PART OE THE CITY OF nT SANTINA'a ZONING MAP V, THE CITY OF DUBLIN THOMPSON not PRINTED D to 1~ c--k Cuh�was UBLIN 9 • I oustis nr.T _AtWOMMtA MENIO � -nr% '1#26 r—44 u pp-ho `1 ..

Cm. Barnes opened the public hearing and called for the Staff Report. Ms. O'Halloran presented background information relating to the Applicant being notified by certified mail on.April 30, 1987, of the illegal signs located on the property, two of which are price signs. Also located on the site is a three-sided monument sign which is non-conforming due to sign area and height, a primary frontage wall-mounted sign which is conforming and a secondary frontage wall sign which is non-conforming due to excessive sign' area. The Applicant subsequently submitted an application requesting approval of a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted sign area for two price signs at i the Shell Service Station, 8999 San Ramon Road. The Zoning Administrator held a public hearing on January 13, 1988 to consider the variance application. After receiving testimony from Staff, the Applicant and the Public, the Zoning Administrator adopted Resolution No. 001-88 denying the Variance request to exceed the maximum permitted sign area for two price signs. The Applicant subsequently appealed the Zoning Administrator's action. Ms. O'Halloran stated the Applicant is requesting approval of the Variance to allow two existing illegal 6' x 4' double-faced price signs, each with a total i of 48 square feet of sign area. One sign is located on San Ramon Road and the other sign is located on Alcosta Boulevard. Each sign exceeds the maximum permited sign area by 16 square feet. The City's Sign Ordinance permits service station price signs indicating . gasoline prices and available service. - Service stations are restricted to one price sign per street frontage to a maximum of two. The sign area is restricted to 16 square feet for single-faced signs and 32 square feet for double-faced signs. The maximum permitted sign height for a price sign is six feet. These regulations have been in effect in Dublin since at least 1980, prior to the City's incorporation. Ms. O'Halloran also stated that the location, size and content of Service Station price signs are regulated by the California State Business and Professions Code pertaining to Weights and Measures and Petroleum Products. The City's Sign Ordinance is consistent with the State Code governing Service Station Price Signs. On January 13, 1988, the Zoning Administrator denied the Applicant's Variance request finding that: 1) Authorizing the Variance constitutes a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity. . 2) There are no special conditions or extraordinary circumstances which apply to the property and do not apply to other properties in the vicinity.

Ms. O'Halloran stated that Staff concurs with the Zoning Administrators' _ action denying the Applicant's request to vary from the maximum permitted sign area for service station price signs and with the requirement for the ! Applicant to bring the illegal price signs into compliance with the City's { Sign Ordinance within 30 days of the effective date of the denial. She i further stated Staff recommends the Planning Commission uphold the Zoning Administrator's Action Denying PA 87-138. i 1 Cm. Barnes asked when the signs were installed, before or after the Sign Ordinance? Ms. O'Halloran stated the signs were installed prior to the Sign Ordinance, but that a building permit had not been obtained, therefore they were considered "illegal signs". The Applicant, Weldon Theobold, General Manager for Carl Cox, owner of the Shell Station in question stated that Mr. Cox -had been located at the current site for the 'past 11 years. I Mr. Theobold stated that Shell Oil Company was unique in that they market 4 : products; regular gasoline, leaded gasoline, unleaded gasoline .ind diesel. He ` stated that the Shell station is in direct competition with the Chevron station located directly to the north, across Alcosta Boulevard: Because the Chevron station is within the City of San Ramon, it faces a different, more lenient sign ordinance. Mr. Theobold stated that there has been an upgrade in the landscaping for this s station for greater eye appeal. i Cm. Burnham asked the Applicant if he knew if the Chevron station in San Ramon complied with the regulations for that City. Mr. Theobold stated he had checked with the City of San Ramon and was advised that they had not done a survey similar to that done in Dublin, but that the Chevron station did meet the signage criteria for that City. t Cm. Zika asked what the size of the building signs were. j Mr. Theobold stated 4' x 6' on the building and 3' x 6' price signs. Cm. Zika asked the Applicant what was wrong with a 3' x 6' sign. Mr. Theobold stated that the size of the numerals were smaller and would ! impede sales. li Cm. Burnham questioned if the signs has been installed with building permits. Mr. Theobold stated he had no knowledge of whether permits were obtained. Mr. Tong stated that the signs in question have been installed since j1 incorporation of Dublin, approximately 5 years, Regular Meeting PC:1-8-25 February 16,' 198S ti i .wTR-�'C+j+�lw•�. `wf••-1-�s}-.-R-� •.�'" S�zy �<. ° e�� ,tyy;�l`�'r *a�. •r '"j?-?<~7aL.i. r��wZit4� v�`�ta�x♦,n.�`+. ,`, ';i,� 'C• ti .,.:kt `4` �. .h• l •�lv �� 1\ vt '-•�r�.�'C..a ,r\7 ♦� st `LlK.1� Mkt t •:� \ ,"�. \` . b•>�i -Y, .Q `f .gip• ;z.� :�.'`�.'�, \ 4�1' � Y;�,1\,�• �y�'i` (1� ,� �. � � �.

Burnham stated he was concerned with the competition between these two i stations for larger signage, that if each station were going to try and outdo each other with signage there would be no limit to the requests for variances. Mr. Theobold stated that if at some future date Shell Oil Company were to get out of the leaded gas business they would only have three products and therefore would not need the larger signs. He mentioned that 621 of the diesel fuel sold was for automobile use and not trucks use. Cm. Tempel questioned how this stations signage compared to the Shell Station located on Dublin Boulevard at San Ramon Road. Mr: Theobold stated that that station also has four products. There being no further comments, Cm. Barnes closed the public hearing. On motion by Cm. Zika, seconded by Cm. Burnham, and by a vote of 4-1 (Cm. Tempel - No vote) a Resolution was adopted recommending the Planning Commission uphold the Zoning Administrator's action to deny Pa 87-138, Shell Service Station variance request to exceed the maximum permitted sign area for two service station price signs. r RESOLUTION NO. 007 - 88 UPHOLDING THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S ACTION 3 DENYING PA 87-138 SHELL SERVICE STATION VARIANCE REQUEST TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED SIGN AREA FOR TWO SERVICE STATION PRICE SIGNS AT THE SHELL SERVICE STATION ON ALCOSTA BOULEVARD AND SAN RAMON ROAD i 8999 SAN RAMON ROAD i i S i SUBJECT: PA 87-045 Hansen Hill Ranch Project - :; General Plan Amendment Study and Planned Development Prezoning, Tentative Subdivision Map No. 5766, and Annexation '! requests for 282 dwelling units on 147+ acres, west of Silvergate Drive and north of Hansen Drive. f Cm.

The fact that the service station'. �. is located across the street from a service station in an adjoining : City which may or may not permit larger price signs does not constitute a special condition or extraordinary circumstances as signs located within the City are governed by the City's sign regulations.

POLL CALL PRESENT: Laurence Tong, Planning Director/Zoning Administrator, and Maureen O'Halloran, Associate Planner. PUBLIC HEARING / SUBJECT: PA 87�-11338 Shell Service Station Price Sim Variance 8999 San Ramon Road. Mr. Tong, Zoning Administrator, explained the Zoning Administrator public hearing procedures, opened the public hearing and called for the Staff Report. Ms. O'Halloran advised that the Applicant was requesting approval of a Variance to allow two service station price signs to exceed the maximum permitted sign area. She explained that the Zoning Ordinance permits a maximum. of 32 square feet per price sign while the Applicant proposes 48 scuare feet per sign. She noted one price sign is located on San Ramon Road and t"e other price sign is located on Alcosta Boulevard. Ms. O'Halloran stated that the Applicant was notified by the Zoning Investigator in April of illegal and non-conforming signs on the site, and has filed a Variance application in response to that notification. Ms. O'Halloran stated that in order to grant the Variance request, four findings of fact must be made relating to the signs. She further explained that Staff could not make the required findings as identified in th e Staff Report as 1) there are no special circumstances related to the physical features of the property in that the service station is situated on a flat lot on the corner of two major arterial streets, .which is t;-p ical of most gas stations in the City. She further stated that the fact that the station across the street is located in ferent sign regulations t:Zan the City o Dublin was the City of San Ramon with dif not a special circumstance. 2) The Variance does not meet the intent of the Ordinance as the intent is to promote orderly and attractive development of suns in the City, and recognizes the need for businesses to identify themselves and their services and provides provisions in the Ordinance to promote this intent. PSs. O'Halloran indicated that since the findings of fact could not be made to warrant granting the Variance, Staff recommended the Zoning Administrator deny the Variance request and require the Applicant to remove the signs within 30 days of the effective date of the denial. Diane Lundquist, the Applicant, stated she was representing Shell Oil Company and that Mr. Theobald would like to make a statement.

Mr, Theobald, reptesenting• C & J Coi'Corporatiop, the station Ceneral Manager, stated the station has been in operation for 11 years and has gone from selling 60,000 gallons a year to 300,000 gallons during that time period, He also stated the station generates between $30,000 - $40,000 for the City's revenue, Mr. Theobald stated a larger price sign was needed to advertise the fourth product,available to the public, diesel fuel. He further noted that $3,000 a year is spent on planting on the site and $9,000 a year on maintenance of the site. He noted the sign is similar to signs used in other cities in the area. Mr. Tong closed the public hearing and commended the Applicant for the attractive appearance of the station in terms of maintenance and landscaping. Mr. Tong noted that the City's Sign Ordinance is in compliance with State law with regards to price signs. Mr. Tong identified that the four findings of fact must: 1) relate to unique circumstances present with the property: 2),the Variance must grant parity with other properties in the vicinity, 3) the Variance cannot be harmful to the public, and 4) it must be consistent with the intent of the Ordinance. Mr. Tong stated that even with the situation of the property's proximity to the City of San Ramon and the attractive appearance of the site in general,. the facts do not support the granting of the Variance. Mr. Tong stated that the existing price signs were attractive, but that the Ordinance did not allow them. Mr. Tong stated that he was unable to make the findings and denied the Variance request. Mr. Tong indicated that an alternative would be to amend the Sign Ord;- ance to permit a bigger sign for four products. Mr. Tong explained the appeal process.
