Project Location:
The project site is located on the
northwest corner of South De Anza
Boulevard and Prospect Road at the
southern border of the City. To the west
of the site is an office building; to the
east is a Shell gas station in the City of
San Jose; to the north is the Coach
House shopping center; and to the
south is a 76 gas station in the City of
Saratoga.
Background:
In April 2009, a Use Permit (U-2009-02)
and Architectural and Site Approval
(ASA-2009-02) for a car wash addition
and other site improvements were approved at the existing gas station and auto service
center site by Planning Commission. The Planning Commission decision was appealed
but the approval was upheld, with modifications to the project, by the City Council at a
subsequent public hearing on June 2, 2009.
A Sign Exception (EXC-2010-10) was approved on November 4, 2010 to allow two
additional illuminated wall signs on the fueling station’s north and south canopy faces,
in addition to a permitted building wall sign on the eastern elevation.
A Director’s Minor Modification (DIR-2019-007) permit was approved on September 4,
2019 to allow exterior modifications to the Food Mart/Smog Shop building and car wash
tunnel to comply with Valero’s new branding strategies. The overall corporate branding
strategy includes updates to the building and fuel price ground signage, which are the
subject of this Sign Exception permit.
Applicant Request:
The applicant, Gus Ortega of Sign Development Inc., representing the property
owner/operator, Atam Sandhu, is requesting a Sign Exception to allow new signage at
the service shop and convenience store building, car wash tunnel, fuel canopy, and fuel
Figure 1: Vicinity Aerial (subject property outlined in blue) S. De Anza Blvd. City of
Saratoga
City of
San Jose
City of
Saratoga
tanks at the Valero service station and update the signage at the existing ground sign as
follows:
1. One new 13.5 sq. ft. non-illuminated “Car Wash” wall sign on the south-facing exit
tunnel of the car wash building.
2. One new 14.75 sq. ft. illuminated “Smog Shop” wall sign above the service bay
door of the service shop and convenience store building.
3. One new 3.25 sq. ft. illuminated Valero “V” logo on the east side of the fuel canopy
structure (facing South De Anza Boulevard).
4. Three new LED canopy light bars on the north, east, and south sides of the fuel
canopy structure (Two signs - 27.9” x 2.5” and One sign - 19.7” x 2.5”).
5. Reface the existing internally illuminated fuel price cabinet ground sign with new
internally illuminated cabinets with light-emitting diode (LED) price numerals
(No change to size).
The fuel canopy light bars and fuel price sign require a Sign Exception since the City’s
Sign Ordinance prohibits signs with directly visible light sources and requires changeable
copy letters or numerals to be made of permanent sign and symbols or letters of high
quality and durable materials, respectively (Section 19.04.180(B)). Furthermore, condition
#4 of the EXC-2010-10 resolution requires that any additional proposed permanent signs,
including any proposed on the car wash tunnel, would need approval under a separate
Sign Exception. The City’s Municipal Code requires Design Review Committee review
for all Sign Exception applications.
Analysis
Wall Signs and Logo
The City’s Municipal Code has regulations specific to Gasoline Station Signs. However,
the wall sign provisions for gasoline stations default to the wall sign provisions for other
commercial business. These regulations address the signage needs of commercial
businesses that are either on standalone pads or a part of a shopping center. Increasingly,
gas stations are demonstrating a need for signage different from conventional
commercial businesses, due to their location near street intersections, the unique
building/structure arrangements with regards to the fueling stations, convenient store,
and car wash facility, a need to compete with alternative fuel vehicles and to attract
customers over other gasoline stations in adjoining jurisdictions where such signage is
allowed.
As such, several other gas stations throughout the City have received Sign Exceptions or
approvals for additional wall and/or canopy signs:
Company/Address
(Permit No.) Canopy Signs Wall Signs Ground
Sign
Shell / 20999 Stevens Creek Blvd.
(EXC-2014-11) 2 (illuminated) 3 (illuminated) Yes
Chevron / 11010 N. De Anza Blvd.
(DIR-2007-09) 3 (illuminated) 1 (illuminated) Yes
76 / 10275 N. De Anza Blvd.
(EXC-2006-05) 2 (illuminated) 1 (non-illuminated) Yes
Chevron / 10023 S. De Anza Blvd.
(DIR-2007-10) 2 (illuminated) 1 (illuminated) Yes (2)
Chevron /
(EXC-1998-02) 2 (illuminated) 1 (illuminated) Yes (2)
The applicant has proposed two new wall signs (one on the car wash building and one
above the service bay storefront) and one new illuminated logo on the existing canopy.
The total of all new and existing wall signs is less than 200 square feet, which is the
maximum allowed sign area for wall signs per the City’s Municipal Code. The proposed
signs are well proportioned to the location in which they are proposed. They are not
excessively descriptive and are compatible with the design aesthetic of the existing
service station. Conditions of approval have been added to ensure that the proposed
signs meet the illumination restrictions identified in Section 19.104.230 of the Municipal
Code.
Fuel Price LED Signage
The City’s Sign Ordinance does not specifically address exposed LED signage on fuel
price ground signs. Therefore, under current ordinance provisions, LED fuel price
signage is not permitted since it has a directly visible light source and is not considered a
permanent, durable material. The restrictions against directly visible light sources are
intended to limit glare and distraction to motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and residents
in the neighborhood. The requirement for high quality, durable material in changeable
sign copy is intended to avoid unsightly, reduced quality signage that would diminish
the City’s aesthetic appearance.
As part of the proposed project, the LED numerals would be equipped with an automatic
brightness control that would be adjusted based on the ambient light condition. The signs
differ from electronic readerboard signs in that they do not include periodically changing
or animated messages. The proposed LED numerals would remain static, except for when
the price of gasoline changes (typically once or twice per day).
The primarily static LED numerals function like the existing plastic numerals in that they
change depending on fluctuations in fuel pricing. The LED numerals will enhance
convenience by allowing the service station operator to automate fuel price updates and
not have to manually change individual numerals. The LED numerals feature crisp,
energy efficient illumination with similar lighting intensity as internally illuminated
plastic letters. The proposed opaque background of the sign will further reduce light
glare.
Two other gas stations have obtained Sign Exceptions for similar LED ground fuel signs.
It is anticipated that the number of applications will increase due to the convenience and
readability of LED fuel price lighting.
1. Valero (EXC-2014-01) – 10002 N. De Anza Blvd
2. Shell (EXC-2014-11) - 20999 Stevens Creek Blvd
Conditions of approval have been added to the draft resolution to ensure that the
illumination guidelines in Section 19.104.230 of the Sign Ordinance for the cumulative
impacts of all illuminated ground and wall signs onsite are followed to reduce glare and
distraction to motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
Fuel Canopy Light Bar
A proposed element to the fuel canopy includes a blue, downlit LED bar spanning the
canopy trim on the north, east, and
south sides. The lighting will
include an aluminum “eyebrow
hood” to diffuse the lighting
downward against the canopy
fascia rather than out toward the
public right of way or the sky. The
LEDs are dimmable as well and can
be adjusted to minimize excessive
glare and ensure that the canopy
does not exceed illumination
intensities allowed in the Sign
Ordinance. Due to the exposed,
visible nature of the lighting system,
a Sign Exception is required as it is proposed in conjunction to the canopy’s sign design.
Figure 2. Light bar at another location
Figure 2 shows an example of a Valero site (not within the City) that has the light bar
installed.
Unpermitted Signs and Site Improvements
During review of this current Sign Exception and concurrent DIR application, several
unpermitted signs were identified on-site, including:
1. Permanent wall advertisement signs as follows:
a. On the north, east, and south elevations of the convenience store and
service shop building
b. “Car Wash” wall signs on the north, east, and south facing car wash
structure walls
c. Signs unrelated to the car wash on the east-facing car wash building wall
2. Illuminated window signage and non-illuminated window decals exceeding 25%
of window surface of each storefront bay window
3. Signs without Temporary Sign Permits as follows:
a. Multiple temporary banners
b. Temporary freestanding signs (e.g. A-frames)
The applicant has indicated on the plans that all unpermitted signs on site will be
removed prior to building final. A condition of approval has been added to the draft
resolution to ensure compliance.
Additionally, as part of the U-2009-02/ASA-2009-02 approval, to mitigate traffic
circulation conflicts and enhance safety the City Council modified the project approval
as follows:
1. The driveway on Prospect Road (nearest the intersection of S. De Anza Boulevard
and Prospect Road) be an ingress-only driveway, and
2. The driveway located at the southeast corner along S. De Anza Boulevard (nearest
the intersection) be an egress-only driveway.
This was implemented with the building permit for the planning entitlements from 2009.
However, during a review of current site conditions, it was observed that the Prospect
Road driveway now has unpermitted pavement markers to allow both ingress/egress and
the S. De Anza Boulevard driveway now has unpermitted pavement markers to allow
ingress-only. A condition of approval has been added to change the directional arrows
and to add pole signage to ensure comply with the Council’s previous direction.
Environmental Assessment
This project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15301 Existing Facilities (Class 1)
consisting of new copy on existing on and off-premise signs.

The City has up to 60 days from the date of deeming the project complete (until March
31, 2020) to make a decision on the project. However, the applicant has agreed to the later
hearing date without objection.
Conclusion
Staff recommends approval of the Sign Exception since the overall design package
addresses the intent of the Sign Ordinance to identify and enhance the business while
maintain the aesthetic standards of the City. The updated LED fuel price sign and new
building/canopy signs are harmonious with the overall building/canopy and provides
good visibility for the public and the needs of the business while minimizing distraction
to pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. The requested Sign Exception will maintain the
City’s design standards and support the business in its endeavor to meet corporate
branding requirements. Staff recommends approval of the project since the project and
conditions of approval address all concerns related to the proposed development and all
the findings for approval of the proposed project, consistent with Chap ter 19.104.290 of
the Cupertino Municipal Code, may be made.
Next Steps
Should the project be approved, the Design Review Committee’s decision on this
proposal is final unless an appeal is filed within 14 calendar days of the date of the
decision, on April 30, 2020. The applicant may apply for building and other permits at
the end of the appeal period.
This approval expires on April 16, 2021, at which time the applicant may apply for a one-
year extension.

RESOLUTION NO. 333
OF THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
APPROVING A SIGN EXCEPTION FOR LED SIGNAGE ON AN EXISTING FUEL
PRICE GROUND SIGN AND SIX ADDITIONAL WALL SIGNS ON THE BUILDING
AND FUEL CANOPY FOR AN EXISTING SERVICE STATION (VALERO) LOCATED
AT 1699 SOUTH DE ANZA BOULEVARD
SECTION I: PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Application No.: EXC-2019-002
Applicant: Gus Ortega (Sign Development, Inc.)
Location: 1699 South De Anza Boulevard (APN 366-10-120)
SECTION II: FINDINGS FOR SIGN EXCEPTION:
WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee of the City of Cupertino received an
application for a Sign Exception as described in Section I. of this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the necessary public notices have been given as required by the Procedural
Ordinance of the City of Cupertino, and the Design Review Committee has held at least
one public meeting in regard to the application; and
WHEREAS, the project is determined to be categorically exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 Existing Facilities; and
WHEREAS, the applicant has met the burden of proof required to support said
application; and
WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee finds as follows with regard to this
application:
1. The literal enforcement of the provisions of this title will result in restrictions
inconsistent with the spirit and intent of this title.
The project is consistent with the intent of the Sign Ordinance in that it provides
architectural and aesthetic harmony with the building/canopy design and provides good
Resolution No. 333 EXC-2019-002 April 16, 2020

visibility for the public and the needs of the business while minimizing distraction to the
pedestrian, bicyclist, and motorist. The LED numerals function similar to the existing
plastic numerals in that they change depending on fluctuations in fuel pricing. The
lighting intensity for the fuel sign and canopy as proposed do not exceed the City’s
Municipal Code regulations and the City will have the ability to require that the intensity
be reduced if deemed necessary by the City.
2. That the granting of the exception will not result in a condition which is materially
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare.
The proposed signs will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the
vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare. The project
includes automatic dimming technology to reduce glare and will not include animated
messages.
3. That the exception granted is one that will require the least modification of the
prescribed regulations and the minimum variance that will accomplish the
purpose.
The strict application of the ordinance standards would not allow the new industry-
standard of using LED technology similar to other service stations in the City and
throughout the region. The proposed additional signs comply with the previous sign
exception approvals for gas stations. The illumination intensity, appearance and location,
relative to the public right-of-way, of the proposed signs would not create distractions for
pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles nor would it negatively impact the City’s aesthetic
appearance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That after careful consideration of maps, facts, exhibits, testimony and other evidence
submitted in this matter, subject to the conditions which are enumerated in this Resolution
beginning on Page 3 thereof,
The application for a Sign Exception, Application no. EXC-2019-002, is hereby approved
and that the subconclusions upon which the findings and conditions specified in this
Resolution are based and contained in the Public Meeting record concerning Application
no. EXC-2019-002 as set forth in the Minutes of Design Review Committee Meeting of April
16, 2020, and are incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.
