The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows: I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: ae That a proper application, for Sign Code Exception 95-007 has been filed by Promotional Signs requesting authorization to install a 75 square foot wall mounted center identification sign located at 14081 Yorba Street. Bo Pursuant to Sign Code Section 9405.C, the request to install a. wall mounted center identification sign can be supported by the following findings: · Sign size and placement restriction of the Siqn Code shall be as closely followed as practicable. The.total size of the center identification sign is in conformance with the provisions of the S~gn Code. The extent of the proposed Sign Code Exception relates to the type of sign which is proposed to be a wall mounted sign rather than a monument sign so that it is visible from the adjacent SR-55 Freeway. The proposed wall mounted sign would be below the roof eave as required by the Sign Code for wall sign installations thereby following the Sign Code requirements as close as practical. · The intent and ~rpose of the Siqn Regulations of the land use zone in which the sign is to be located shall be followed as closely as practicable. Provided that reciprocal parking and access easements are recorded between the subject office property and the retail portion of Enderle Center, a Center Identification sign would be. permitted at the subject location. The installation as a wall sign, rather than a monument sign, is needed to provide adequate visibility from the freeway frontage. There --- 5 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 ~8 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution 34 03 Page 2 is currently no center identification from the freeway. Therefore, the intent and purpose of the Sign Code is being followed as closely as possible by providing the applicant with the opportunity for effective sign identification. · There are special circumstances unique to the property to ~ustify the exception. The' location of the existing building and parking areas at the subject office building hinder the placement of a monument sign that would effectively promote the identity of the center. Motorists on the freeway would not see a monument sign on this site or know of the center location without clear and prominent identification on the building. · Grantinq of the exception will not have a negative impact on the surrounding properties. There are not other signs on this building nor are there any other center identification signs on this freeway frontage. The proposed center identification sign will not have a negative impact on surrounding properties in that. sign will be consistent with the overall size requirements allowed by the Sign Code and will promote the Commercial Center to the community. · The siqn application promotes the public health, safety, welfare and aesthetics of the community in that the qrantinq of the exception meets the findinqs and'intent of.the Siqn Code. The subject Sign Code Exception would be a benefit to the community in that the proposed center identification sign would improve the quality of Center identification and minimize visual sign clutter by limiting sign location to an existing structure, rather than creating an additional structure. In addition, the sign is located in an area on the building which could be occupied by tenant identification signage and therefore not be an unusual location for a sign. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution 3403 Page 3 Ce That this project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt (Class 11) pursuant to Section 15311 of the California Environmental Quality Act.
