The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows: I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: A. That a proper arplication, (Variance No. 89-05) has been filed on behalf of Innovative Graphics Inc. requesting approval to install a 140 square foot maximum area wall sign (when the Tustin Sign Code permits a maximum sign area of 75 square feet) at 671 East First Street. B. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for said application on June 12, 1989. C. That the Planning Commission has reviewed the request for 140 sq. ft. wall sign and does not feel it appropriate, but believes that a variance from the maximum sign area permitted by the sign code to permit sign area of 125 sq. ft. would be warranted as demonstrated in the following findings: i · There are unusual or exceptional circumstances applicable to the shape, size, topography, location or intended use of the subject property which do not necessarily apply to other properties in the same zoning district in that the subject shopping center site is very large, resulting in long to achieve visibility. 2. Granting the requested Variance would not convey a special privilege to the property owner which is not enjoyed by other property owners in the same zoning district; in that smaller commercial properties acheive acceptable sign exposure to public rights-of-way for business identification while complying with sign code provisions due to smaller sites and shorter visual setbacks of signs. The variance would let the applicant enjoy the same degree of visibility. 3. The granting of this variance would not be materially detrimental to adjacent and surrounding properties, in that the proposed sign project would not constitute ar increase beyond the present sign, which exists without any known negative effects upon the surrounding properties. 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10[ 12 13 14 17 19 9.1 22 2~ 26 27 Resolution No. 2621 Page two II. 4, beyond the present sign, which exists The granting of this variance would not be contrary to the General Plan.
