FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2012 -00088)
(2995 EAST WHITE STAR AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (hereinafter referred to as
the "Planning Commission ") did receive a verified Petition for Variance No. 2012 -04906 to
construct a wall sign larger than permitted by the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Project ")
(herein referred to as the "Code ") for certain real property located at 2995 East White Star
Avenue in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as more particularly
described on Exhibit A. attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the
"Property "); and
WHEREAS, the Property, consisting of approximately 4.95 acres, is developed with
commercial and industrial buildings. The Property is located in the SP94 -1 Northeast Area
Specific Plan, Development Area 2 Zone. The Anaheim General Plan designates the Property
for Industrial land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on October 22, 2012 at 5:00 p,m., notice of said public hearing having been
duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60 of the
Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed conditional use permit to
investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission does find and determine that the variance request
to construct a wall sign that is larger than permitted by the Code should be denied for the
following reasons:
SECTION NO. 18.4.110.010.0105 Maximum sign area for wall signs.
(70 square feet permitted; 150 square feet
proposed)
1. That there are no special circumstances that apply to the property, including size,
shape, topography, location or surroundings, which do not also apply to other property under
identical zoning classification in the vicinity because this property is of similar shape and size as
the surrounding properties in the same zone;
2. That, because of there are no special circumstances applicable to this property,
strict application of the Zoning Code would not deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by
other property under identical zoning classification in the vicinity. While other signs on
buildings located adjacent to the subject property have larger signs than permitted under the
current Code, these signs were constructed at a time in which the Code permitted larger signs
and the Code has since been amended to purposely limit the size of new signs.
