RESOLUTION NO. 91-71
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, VARIANCE 91-02, UPHOLDING THE
DECISION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO DENY THE
REQUEST TO ALLOW SUPPLEMENTAL TEXT ON A BUSINESS
IDENTIFICATION SIGN, AND TO PLACE A 25-SQUARE-FOOT
WALL SIGN ON A BUILDING FASCIA AT 17752 E.
SEVENTEENTH STREET.
The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as
follows:
I. The City Council finds and determines as follows:
ao
That a proper appeal of Variance 91-02 has been
filed on behalf of Eldorado Bank to allow
supplemental text on a business identification sign
at 17752 E. Seventeenth Street and to place a new
25-square-foot wall sign to be placed on a building
fascia above the roof eave line.
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed and
held for said application on May 20, 1991.
That the City Council has reviewed the request to
allow supplemental text to be placed on a business
identification sign and a wall sign on a building
fascia, and has made the following findings:
That granting the Variance will permit special
privileges to the property owner that are
inconsistent with the limitations upon other
property owners in the district. Approving
this request would convey a special privilege
to the property owner which is not enjoyed by
other property owners in the vicinity. No
property owners have been allowed to use
supplemental text on business identification
signs, or place wall signs above the roof eave
under the current Sign Code.
That there are no unusual or exceptional
circumstances applicable to the property
including size, shape, topography and
locations or surroundings that the strict
application of the Zoning Ordinance would
deprive the property owner of privileges
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity
and under identical classifications. Denial
of said request would not deprive the property
owner of privileges enjoyed by other property

owners in that no commercial property owners
are allowed to place supplemental text on
business identification signs. Physical
characteristics of the building provide for
visible area below the roof eave to place a
wall sign.
Granting the Variance will have a detrimental
impact on surrounding properties.
Supplemental text may interrupt the uniform
appearance of the business identification
signs on the street and encourage sign clutter
on Seventeenth Street. Placement of a sign on
the fascia would detract from the character of
the building and center on which it is
located. A fascia is not a desirable location
for a sign according to the Sign Code.
De
This project is Categorically Exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15311 (Class 11).
The City Council hereby upholds the decision of the
Planning Commission to deny the request of Variance 91-
02 to allow supplemental text on the business
identification sign and the location of the wall sign.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular City Council meeting on the
20th day of May, 1991.
