Ordinance pursusnt to City Code Section 9470
BACK~andDISCUSSION
Application has been m~deby the owners of the CasaCortez Apartments
to request sign permits to display a 20.5 Sq.ft. single face monm~ent
sign, 8 ft. in height. There is also a wall sign of approxin~tely 15
square feet displayed on the apartment wall.
The nmmager of the complex installed the sign prior to obtaining
knowledge of sign restrictions. The complex also h~s a wall sign
displayed on a s~acture facing Nisson Road.
Current sign regulations authorize the following for apartment:
One - 15 squ~_~e foot monument sign (may be double face), 6
feet in height, or
One - 15 square foot wall sign.
The application is made under City Code Section 9470 a(1), which
authorizes the City Oouncil to grant authorization for signs which are
not within the purview of the standards established by the regulations
due to unusual circumstances related to the development. One of the
criteria to which a favorable finding can rest is:
"The subject property is developed with a structural setback more
than two times the front setback requirement of the district".
The minimum setback is 15' for the R-3 District. This project has a
corner setback (see exhibit) of 29+' with a major part of the
structure beyond the 30' setback line.
In the interest of s~fety, staff issued a temporary permit to enable
inspection of the sign structure. The managers were informed that
permanent authorization for the sign nust come from the City Council.

The owner of the complex, Grudun Roshan has stated that she wishes to
keep both signs. Since the aggregate area of both signs is not a
great deal more than that of a double face monument sign, it is felt
that the request is within the provisions of a sign code exception.
A finding of hardship is not required for a f~vorable finding of this
request.
Pleasure of the City Council. If the monument sign is approved it is
recommended the wall sign be removed.
