The next item on the agenda was an application of T. W. Goe, 778 Mirador Court, for
<br />a Zoning Permit in order to install an electrical sign on an office building located
<br />at 901 Santa Rita Road, in a C-T District. Mr. Campbell presented pictures of the
<br />proposed sign, and stated that the staff concludes that it meets the requirements
<br />of the zoning ordinance. Commissioner Rega related the background of a previous
<br />application submitted by Mr. Goe in which the Commission had granted a Variance
<br />for the construction of a maintenance building upon the condition that a flashing
<br />sign on another part of hie property be taken down. He went on to say that after
<br />the building was constructed and all City requirements were met, the flashing light
<br />was turned on again. Mr. Struthers pointed out that the City's suit against Mr.
<br />Goe is still pending in the court, and that in his opinion the City's case wan
<br />somewhat weakened by the fact that the condition of the Variance was dubious. After
<br />considerable discussion by the Commission as to whether the current application for
<br />a zoning permit should be approved only upon the condition that the flashing light
<br />be turned off, Mr. Struthers was instructed to review the pending suit, the current
<br />legislation, and the current application in the light of recent developments. Upon
<br />motion by Commissioner Johnston, seconded by Commissioner Antonini, and carried, the
<br />Conmieelon therefore, declared the matter continued to the meeting of August 25,
<br />1965, at which time a full report will be made by Mr. Struthers.
<br />The next item on the agenda was an application by Madge Jackson, 240 Spring St., in
<br />order to Lnatall a double-faced, plastic, 111uminated sign at the above address, in
<br />a C-C District. Mr. Campbell gave the staff report that the sign meets the re-
<br />quirements of the zoning ordinance. Mre. Jackson was in the audience, and presented
<br />one aide of the sign, which met the approval of the Commission. She stated the sign
<br />would be illuminated from within, and was on the same order as the new Veterinary
<br />sign across the street. Upon motion of Commissioner Johnston, seconded by Com-
<br />misaioner Rega, the following resolution wee adopted by unanimous vote of those
<br />Commissioners present:
<br />RESOLUTION N0. 450
<br />WHEREAS, the application of Madge Jackson, 240 Spring St., in order to
<br />install a double-faced, plastic, illuminated sign at the above
<br />address, in a C-C District;
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
<br />RESOLVED, Chet the above-named Zoning Permit is hereby granted.
<br />Next item on the agenda was a referral from Alameda County on the application of
<br />Duncan Oil Corporation for an adjustment to construct a truck terminal on property
<br />not fronting on an approved County Road. This property is located northerly of
<br />Highway 50, approximately opposite Hopyard Road, in the northeast quadrant of the
<br />future interchange. Mr. Campbell stated that essentially the necessity for Chia
<br />adjustment is based on a technicality, and that the property owner has sold off
<br />the front portion of his property to the Division of Highways for the future
<br />widening of the freeway, the construction of the interchange and the construction
<br />of the frontage road. He went on to say that this leaves the subject property
<br />without acceee to any road at this time, and that access was formerly to Dublin
<br />Boulevard. However, at such time as the Division of Highways completes their
<br />interchange project at Highway 50 and Hopyard Road this property will have direct
<br />acceee to the frontage road that will be constructed. The property owner plane
<br />to start immediate construction of this project, however, prior to the time the
<br />Division of Aighwaye accomplishes their work, thereby making this application
<br />technically necessary. Mr. Campbell stated that since adequate acceee will be
<br />available, there would appear to be no objection to this development on these
<br />grounds. Mr. Campbell further stated that since we ere not familiar with any of
<br />the County's requirements and since it ie not in our jurisdiction, we cannot review
<br />this proposal from that point of view. Assuming, however, that this might someday
<br />become a part of the City, and recognizing that it ie immediately adjacent to our
<br />planning area and has some affect upon the development within both our planning
<br />area and the City, the staff reviewed this briefly from the point of view of what
<br />the City's requirements might be if the staff did have jurisdiction. It was
<br />pointed out that no determination has been made whether this would be general
<br />industrial or industrial park type of development. Noting, however, that it is
<br />immediately adjacent to the freeway and would be readily adjacent from both the
<br />freeway and the Hopyard-Dougherty Road interchange and overpass, it would appear
<br />that the development should be closer to the industrial park type of development.
