RESOLUTION NO. 3234
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING SIGN CODE
EXCEPTION 93-005, A REQUEST TO REDISTRIBUTE THE
MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF PRIMARY AND
SECONDARY BUSINESS IDENTIFICATION WALL OR CANOPY
SIGNS LOCATED AT 14122 NEWPORT AVENUE, TUSTIN
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby
resolve as follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
ao
That a proper application, Sign Code Exception 93-
005, has been filed by Robert Fiscus and Associates
on behalf of Chevron U.S.A., Inc. requesting a Sign
Code Exception from the City of Tustin Sign Code to
allow the redistribution of the maximum allowable
square footage of primary and secondary business
identification wall or canopy signs.
Be
Pursuant to City of Tustin Sign Code Section 9204C,
the request to redistribute the maximum allowable
square footage of primary and secondary business
identification wall or canopy signs can be
supported by the following findings:
·
Siqn size and placement restrictions of the
Siqn Code shall be followed as closely as
practicable; in that the total sign area of
the proposed signs, excluding the one pole
sign to remain, totals 88.1 square feet and is
significantly less than that allowed by the
Sign Code. The proposal includes one (1)
existing 11.7 square foot wall sign, one (1)
32 square foot monument sign, two (2) 2.6
square foot placard mounted canopy signs, four
(4) 7.9 square foot channel letter canopy
signs and four (4) 1.9 square foot spanner
decals. The total size of the wall sign,
canopy signs and spanner decals is
approximately seventy (70) square feet less
than the 125 square feet of primary and
secondary business identification allowed for
the service station.

·
The intent and purpose of the sign regulations
of the land use zone in which the siqn is
located shall be followed as closely as
practicable; in that the proposed sigD
changes would maintain the City's appearance
by reducing sign clutter, effectivel~
identifying the service station, and
maintaining the visibility and effectiveness
of on-premises signs, while limiting the area
of signs.
·
There are special circumstances unique to the
property to justify the Exception; in that the
service station contains several nonconforming
signs which would be removed upon installation
of the decals, canopy signs and monument sign.
·
Granting of the Exception will not have a
neqative impact on surrounding properties; in
that the exception would allow the
installation of spanner decals and canopy
signs which are smaller than the existing
signs or replace other signs. A condition of
approval has been included which prohibits the
illumination of the new Level II Spanners,
thereby reducing the possibility for negative
impacts on surrounding properties.
·
The sign application promotes the public
health, safety, welfare and aesthetics of the
community and that the granting of the
exception meets the findings and intent of
this chapter (Siqn Code)j; in that the proposed
sign changes would effectively reduce the
total square footage of sign copy at the
service station.
Co
This project is Categorically Exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15311 (Class 11).
II. The Planning Commission hereby approves the request to
redistribute the maximum allowable square footage of
primary and secondary business identification wall or
canopy signs at the service station located at 14122
Newport Avenue, Tustin, subject to conditions contained
in Exhibit A, attached hereto.
