The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: A. That a proper application, Variance No. 91-13, has been filed on behalf of Henry Kumagai to request authorization for the installation of a monument sign along street frontage of 110 feet where 150 feet is required and permit such sign to encroach nine feet into the required ten-foot front-yard setback on the property located at 240 East First Street. B. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed and held on said application on August 12, 1991. C. That the adjustment authorized shall constitute a grant of a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and district in which the subject property is situated as evidenced by the following: 1. There are at least three additional types of business identification signage, including window signs, wall signs and projecting signs, that the applicant would be entitled to apply for and would likely qualify for. 2. The Commission has not previously granted a variance for a business along First Street for signage within a required setback or for a deficiency in street frontage. D. That special circumstances are not applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, and strict application of the Zoning Ordinance is not found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification, evidenced by the following findings: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 1G 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 2G 2i 28 Resolution No. 2931-D Page 2 1. Many of the properties in the immediate vicinity maintain wall signs for their primary business identification signage along First Street. 2. By utilizing the project's perimeter wall for the location of signage, the applicant would enjoy the same proximity to the street for signage as surrounding businesses. 3. The monument sign would be located one foot away from the sidewalk portion of the public right-of-way and a structure of this mass is not considered a contribution or enhancement to the pedestrian environment, a stated objective of the First Street Specific Plan. II. The Planning Commission hereby denies Variance 91-13 a request to authorize the installation of a monument sign along street frontage of 110 feet where 150 feet is required and permit such sign to encroach nine feet into, the required ten-foot front-yard setback on the property located at 240 East First Street. PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Tustin Planning Commission, held on the 12th day of August, 1991.
