a) The Land Use Element of.the General Plan designates the subject site for Community Commercial (C) Land Use.
3) The proposed Conditional Use Permit is consistent with applicable City Public Facilities and Ordinances because:
a) The existing buil.ding. frontage is not designed to accommodate a building-mounted wall sign.
b) The front setback on the site (60 feet by 130 feet - 7,800 square feet) can physically accommodate a monu- ment-type freestanding sign of .the design proposed.
4): The proposed sign is compatible.with the adjacent properties because.: :: ,-.:
a) The proposed sign will be located approximately 350 feet .from the only additional existing freestanding sign (the existing sign advertises the shopping center).
b) The proposed sig-n will be located approximately 160 feet from a structure-mounted sign at the gas station to the
south (separate property).
c) The proposed sign is of.a,design approved by.the Specific Plan on the subject property SP-l46(A) , Exhibit I'D".

6) The proposed sign will not result in proliferation of signs in the area because:
a) Section 21.41.075 (b.3) requires that signs permitted under that section be a minimum of 200 feet apart on the same property. Staff considers the Specific Plan area one property. A freestanding sign exists on the Standard Service Station property to the north and an elevated sign, which staff considers freestanding, exists on the Shell. Service Station property to the south. Therefore, no other freestanding sign would be permitted along the Shopping Center frontage on El Camino Real.
b) Additional 'signing could be requested .under Section 21.41.075 for property along Marron Road and Haymar Road.
7) The proposed sign will not adversely affect the appearance of the area.:.and will<.not unduly restrict views because:
a) The view corridor of El Camino Real will be maintained because of the 20 foot setback from the street frontage.
