Re: SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES WAIVER NO. 2006-00033 -Approved
On April 27, 2006, William Sell, Acting Zoning Administrator, considered your request
for waiver of special event permit requirements to permit two banners on the American
Sports Centers building from May 8, 2006 to August 8, 2006. The property is located at
the southeast corner of Cerritos Avenue and Anaheim Boulevard with frontages of
1,260 feet on the south side of Cerritos Avenue and 530 feet on the east side of
Anaheim Boulevard (1400 South Anaheim Boulevard -American Sports Centers). He
made the following findings:
1. That such modification or waiver would serve the public interest, safety, or
general welfare or that extraordinary circumstances are present.
2. That the proposed banners will not impact any parking circulation, nor any
streets and highways in the area that are equipped to handle large traffic flows.
3. That the proposed banners will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses
and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located.
On the basis of the above findings, the Zoning Administrator approved Special
Circumstances Waiver No. 2006-00033 for the herein-described special event for the
period of time from May 8, 2006 to August 8, 2006, subject to compliance with the
following conditions:
That the banners shall be installed as indicated in attached letter of operation.
That this Special Circumstances Waiver shall expire on August 8, 2006.

copy, or ripped or faded material. An un-maintained or damaged portion of the banners
shall be repaired or replaced immediately. Noncompliance shall constitute a public
nuisance and shall be subject to termination of this permit.
