and determine the following facts:
1. That the petitioner proposes waiver of the following to permit two Anaheim Resort
freestanding monument signs (one per street frontage):
Section 18.48.130.060.0604 - Sign Standard Matrices.
(One freestandinq monument siqn per lot permitted for a hotel

# •
2. That the waiver, pertaining t'o permitted freestanding monument signs for hotels in the
Anaheim Resort, is hereby approved based on the finding that special circumstances have been identified
that are applicable to the shape, location and surroundings of the subject property which do not apply to
other identically-zoned properties in the vicinity, and that strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive
the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the identical zone classification in the vicinity
because the property is an irregularly-shaped parcel that wraps around a corner lot and has frontage on and
takes access from two arterial highways (Ball Road and West Street); that the existing sign on Ball Road will
be retained and a new sign will be constructed adjacent to West Street within the middle 30% of the street
frontage; and that because of the lot configuration and proposed sign locations, each sign will be visible only
to the adjacent public right-of-way:
3. That all properties in the Anaheim Resort are typically permitted by Code to have one
Anaheim Resort freestanding monument sign on the lot to provide identification to the adjacent right-of-way;
and that this property, which has two frontages, has been impacted by public right-of-way improvements on
West Street that have resulted in reduced vdsibility and access to the property.
4. That strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive this property of necessary and
reasonable identification to both Ball Road and West Street; and that installation of one additional
freestanding monument sign in the location proposed will provide identification from West Street only and will
not be visible to Ball Road.
5. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the
property involved that do not apply generally to the property or class of use in the same vicinity and zone.
6. That the requested variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone, and denied to the property in
question.
7. That the requested variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located.
8. That no one indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to the proposal; and
that no correspondence was received in op;position.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: The Planning Director or his
authorized representakive has determined that the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical
Exemptions, Class 11, as defined in the State of California Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") Guidelines
and is, therefore, categorically exempt frorn the requirement to prepare an EIR.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission does
hereby grant subject Petition for Variance, ~upon the following conditions which are hereby found to be a
necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the subject property in order to preserve the safety and
general welfare of the Citizens of the City of Anaheim:
1. That prior to final building and zoning inspections, a minimum two (2) foot wide landscaped border
shall be planted and irrigated and permanently maintained around the sign base.
2. That the subject property shall be developed substantially in accordance with the plans and
specifications on file in the Planning Department marked Exhibit Nos. 1 and 2.
