the re-facing of the existing gas dispensers, with the following
recommendations:
• Add a Condition of Approval for ground cover landscaping to be reviewed
and approved by staff adjacent to the ground mounted price sign for the
proposed project. The landscaping shall be drought tolerant.

Final.

part of the DBA name for Mobil. Staff did not approve of the excessive
signage that did not serve a functional purpose and do not comply with the
Town of Danville’s Sign Ordinance. Municipal code section 32-98.14 Sign
standards indicates that no more than one sign may be located on the same
