The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: ae That a proper application, Sign Code Exception 92- 001, has been filed by William Day on behalf of Arco Product Company requesting an exception from the City of Tustin Sign Code Section 9408F(1) (a) which requires a minimum of 150 lineal feet of street frontage, to allow the construction of a monument sign on a property which has 105-lineal feet of street frontage; and from Section 9402 which states that business identification sign shall identify the name, address and lawful use of the premises upon which it is located, to exclude business identification and to allow only the gasoline provider to be identified at the gasoline service station and car wash located at 13871 Red Hill Avenue. Be Pursuant to City of Tustin Sign Code Section 9405c, the request to authorize an exception to the Sign Code to allow construction of a monument sign on a property that has 105-lineal feet of street frontage, and to allow only the gasoline provider to be identified at the subject facility can be supported by the following findings: · The proposal has followed the sign size and placement as closely as practical. The proposed sign would be located in a landscape planter, would be less than the maximum sign area permitted, would meet the maximum height requirement, and other development standards associated with the placement of a monument sign. · The design of the monument sign would meet all the requirements of the Sign Code, excepting the minimum street frontage requirement, thereby satisfying as closely as practicable the purpose of the Sign Code to regulate the 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 3045 Page 2 design of signs. Removal of the existing, non- conforming pole sign would bring the property into conformance with the Sign Code. Further, the sign would also promote effective identification of services available at the site, which also satisfies the purpose of the Sign Code. · There are special circumstances unique to the property in that the lot is not a corner lot as are most gasoline stations in the City and immediate vicinity and does not have two street frontages to meet the minimum street frontage requirement. · Granting of this exception would not have a negative impact on the surrounding community as the proposed monument sign would not impede traffic flow or in any way restrict site access. Further, the project also calls for the removal of an existing nonconforming pole sign and related pricing signs which would reduce visual clutter. · Granting of this exception would promote the general welfare and aesthetics of the community as visual clutter will be reduced in the neighborhood due to the removal of the existing nonconforming pole sign and creating conformity to the existing Sign Code Regulations. 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 Sign Code Exception 92-001, to allow the construction of a monument sign and to allow only the gasoline provider to be identified on the monument sign on the property located at 13871 Red Hill Avenue subject to conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 3045 Page 3 PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular Planning Commission meeting on the 8th day of June, 1992.
