RESOLUTION NO. 2621
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE 89-05,
AUTHORIZING THE INSTALLATION OF A 125 SQUARE FOOT
WALL SIGN (WHEN THE TUSTIN SIGN CODE PERMITS A
MAXIMUM SIGN AREA OF 75 SQUARE FEET) AT 671 EAST
FIRST STREET.
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.
