Inter-Corn
TO: Honorable Mayor & City Council
FROM: Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Sign Code Exception
APPLICANT: Steve Kelso on behalf of Steve Kelso's Mobil Station
LOCATION:
REQUEST:
171 E. First Street, northwesterly corner of First
Street and Prospect Avenue.
One (1) 4'. X 3' (12 square feet) Product Service
Information Sign
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Staff has received an application from Steve Kelso to request ex-
ception from certain provisions of Sign Ordinance No. 684 which
authorizes the City Council to grant this exception:
"Proposed signing does not exceed more than one (1)
in number nor more than 15% in area of the aggregrate
size of sign authorized by the criteria of the district."
Mr. Kelso's request falls within this category.
On November 19, 1979 a use permit (UP 79-33) was approved for
this Mobil station to add two canopies over 2 gasoline islands.
At that time conditions which were placed on the property in-
cluded the following which are related to the present signing.
1. The rotor of the existing freestanding (pole) sign
shall be removed.
2. Removal of the leased billboard on the westerly
property line.
Both of these conditions have to be accomplished prior to issuance
of building permits for the canopies. Another sign discrepancy
is presently there are 3 gas pricing signs attached to the pole
sign rather than 2 that are allowed under the Service Station
Guide for Signing.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends approval of this requested sign subject to

issuance of a sign permit. If the City Council finds that
the exception should be granted it is recommended that the
conditiOn of removing the rotor from the pole sign be imposed.

Request for an exemption to the
Tustin Sign Ordinance to Install
a Product Service Information
Sign Located at 171E. First St.,
Tustin , Ca.
Dear City Council:
My name is Steve L. Kelso , and I am the Dealer-Owner of dba
Steve Kelso's Mobil at the above subject location. I am
requesting an exemption to the Tustin sign code to be allowed
to install a 4' X 3' sign to advertise an Advanced Tune-up
System I recently upgraded to. The reason I am asking for
the exemption is to inform the public that I now have the
equipment capable of making the necessary Calibrations
for Automobiles.to conform bo the New Stringent State of
Calif. Air Resorces Board Automobile Emission Laws.
I believe this sign would be to the consumers benefit, by allow
ing them to locate this service within the city of Tustin.
If you have any questions, or desire more information, please
do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely yours,
Steve L. Kelso
