The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: ae That a proper application, Sign Code Exception 92- 004, has been filed by Spesco on behalf of Westwood Financial requesting an exception from the City Code Section 9408E to increase an individual tenant identification sign from six-square feet to 18- square feet on an existing tenant directory sign located at 13842 Newport Avenue. Be Pursuant to City Code Section 9405c, the request to authorize an exception to the sign regulations to increase an individual tenant identification sign from six-square feet to 18-square feet on an existing tenant directory sign at the subject property can be supported by the following findings: · The proposal has followed the sign size and placement as closely as practical. The proposed sign would replace three panels on an existing monument sign, thus maintaining the integrity of the monument sign, while still providing the other existing tenants to be identified on the sign. · The design of the monument sign would meet all the requirements of the Sign Code, excepting the proposed single tenant identification, thereby satisfying as closely as practicable the purpose of the Sign Code to regulate the design of signs. If the proposed sign was limited to one panel, the monument sign would give the false impression that there were vacancies in the building which would not be beneficial to the business community. · There are special circumstances unique to the property in that the current division of the building only includes four tenants with Blockbuster Video occupying over 60 percent of the building. The existing monument sign was 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 ~3 14 15 16 17 18 19 ~.0 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 3049 Page 2 designed to accommodate six tenant signs. The proposed sign would avoid extensive modification to the existing monument sign such as removing the two panels, that some day may be needed again by other future tenants. · Granting of this exception would not have a negative impact on the surrounding community as the sign would maintain the design integrity of the monument sign while providing the needed business identification for the entire center. · Granting of this exception would promote the general welfare and aesthetics of the community as the monument sign would continue to identify all tenants of the center without giving the impression that the center has vacancies. Ce 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 ~ign Code Exception 92-004, to increase an individual tenant identification sign from six-square feet to 18-square feet on an existing tenant directory sign located at 13842 Newport Avenue, subject to conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.
