The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: A® A proper application for Conditional Use Permit 94- 024 was filed by Sanderson J. Ray Development requesting approval of a master sign plan for the Tustin Ranch Plaza Shopping Center. Be Pursuant to Sign Code Section 940466, an applicant with a project of at least 30,000 square feet of building area may request to deviate from the standards contained in the Sign Code, subject to a conditional use permit. Ce A public hearing was duly noticed, called, and held on said application on November 14, 1994, by the Planning Commission. De Pursuant to Section 9291 of the Tustin City Code, the Commission finds that the proposed Master Sign Plan, as conditioned, will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of persons residing or working in the general area nor will it be injurious or detrimental to the property or general welfare of the City of Tustin as evidenced by the following: · The Master Sign Plan, as conditioned, will provide for signs that are compatible with, and complimentary to the proposed architectural design and treatments of Tustin Ranch Plaza Shopping Center. · The locations, proportions, areas, and styling of the proposed sign types are not injurious or detrimental to the welfare of the City or its residents. Ee Pursuant to Section 9291 of the Tustin City Code, the Commission finds that the proposed 23 foot high' pole signs with approximately 300 square feet in copy area would be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare of persons residing or working in the general area and 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 Resolution No. 3309 November 14, 1994 Page 2 would be injurious or detrimental to the property or general welfare of the City of Tustin as evidenced by the following: · The Sign Code regulations provide for effective business identification; ensures compatibility of proposed signs with the surrounding environment; and avoids sign clutter by limiting the size of signs. Sign Code Section 940462 permits a center identification pole sign to be a maximum of 20 feet in height with 50 square feet of sign copy area with a conditional use permit provided that the signage is compatible with the size and scale of the project and surrounding community. However, the character of the surrounding residential neighborhoods is of high quality architectural design enhanced by lush landscaping and low profile signage where necessary; characteristics which ensure stable property values. Therefore, a 23 foot high sign is not compatible with the character of the surrounding area, and would be detrimental to the surrounding neighborhood. · The fact that the subject shopping center is a neighborhood commercial facility that will primarily draw repeat customers from the surrounding residential neighborhoods precludes the necessity of a 23 foot high business identification sign. · The proposed pole sign, at 23 feet in height with approximately 300 square feet of copy area, is excessive, as described above, and would create sign clutter, as the additional area would not be necessary to draw regular patrons who know of the shopping center's location from the surrounding residential neighborhoods. It is evident by examining signage for other newly developed neighborhood shopping centers with supermarkets such as Ralphs's in the south Orange County area that a 23 foot high business identification pole sign is not necessary to identify the shopping center. Fe This project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt (Class 11) pursuant to Section 15311 of the California Environmental Quality Act. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 Resolution No. 3309 November 14, 1994 Page 3 Ge This project has been reviewed for consistency with the Air Quality Sub-Element of the City of Tustin General Plan and has been determined to be consistent or has been conditioned to be consistent with the Air Quality Sub-Element.
