B. That the project site is located within the Industrial (M) zoning district and pursuant to Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9403(h), a MSP is required for developments which include multi-tenant centers. In accordance with Section 9299(m) of the TCC, the Zoning Administrator shall review applications for MSPs requesting deviations from the standards within the Tustin City Sign Code. C. That the eight lifestyle graphics are considered deviations to the TCC sign regulations and the MSP is being forwarded to the Zoning Administrator for review. D. That the Industrial (1) land use designation of the General Plan provides an opportunity and growth for industrial business activities and related signage. E. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for DR 2023-0018 on January 25, 2024, by the Zoning Administrator. F. That the proposed eight lifestyle graphics and corresponding MSP, will not, under the circumstances of this case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood, nor be injurious or detrimental to the property and improvements in the neighborhood of the subject property, or to the general welfare of the City in that: 1) As proposed,the eight lifestyle graphics and MSP would be compatible with the visual characteristics of the development, would be compatible with other signs in the surrounding area, and would not detract from adjacent developed properties. 2) The scale and massing of the proposed eight lifestyle graphics and overall MSP are consistent with the size and scale of the site and the overall development within the community. The lifestyle graphics would be appropriately visible and legible in terms of spacing and proportion of the images, and would not dominate the visual quality of the site.
