PUBLIC HEARING DATE: December 24, 1992
CEQA STATUS: Categorical Exemption, Class 11
OPPOSITION: No one indicated their presence at the public heazing in opposition to the proposal,
and no correspondence in opposition was received.
REQUEST: Petitioner requests waiver of the following under authority of Code Section
18.12.060.010 to permit a 36 sq.ft. freestanding monument sign:
Sections 18.05.093.020.023 - Permitted location of freestanding_signns.
18.05.098 (40% of lot width j32 feet] required from
and 18.61.067 north side property line;
5, ~ O [4 feet] proposed)
Having been appointed Zoning Administrator by the Planning Director, pursuant to Anaheim
Municipal Code Section 18.12.040, to decide the above-referenced petition and a public heazing
having been duly noticed for and held on the date set forth above, I do hereby find:
1. That the monument sign will be located so as not to interfere with vehiculaz and pedestrian
lines-0f--sight to and from the public street, subject property and its driveway, and the adjacent
properties and their driveways;
2. That there aze special circumstances applicable to subject industrial property consisting of
size, shape and location, which do not apply to other identically-zoned properties in the
vicinity because subject property is located on a cul-de-sac, it has a very small street frontage
(80 feet) relative to its size (4.7 acres), and placing the sign at the required location (central 8
feet of the 80-foot frontage) would adversely impact placement of the 40-foot wide driveway
to the property; and
3. That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by
other properties in identical zoning classification in the vicinity because the other properties,
although similaz in size, have significantly wider street frontages (200 feet and more).
