which do not apply to other identically zoned properties in the vicinity because the underlying use
is an amusement/recreational business;

properties in the vicinity because similar electronic message signs have been approved in the area;
and
3. That the proposed sign will identify the entrance from Carpenter Avenue to the amusement facility
and provide information to its patrons, and that said sign is not located in such a manner as to be
conspicuous from any major street or freeway.
