THAT PETITION FOR VARIANCE NO. 2007-04737 BE GRANTED
(2300 EAST KATELLA AVENUE -STADIUM TOWER)
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Zoning Administrator did receive a verified Petition for
Variance for certain real property situated in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of
California described as:
PARCEL 1, CITY OF ANAHEIM, COUNTY OF ORANGE, STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, AS SHOWN ON THAT CERTAIN "LOT LINE
ADJUSTMENT PLAT NO. 139" RECORDED NOVEMBER 1, 1985 AS
INSTRUMENT NO. 85-423458, OFFICIAL RECORDS OF ORANGE
COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the Zoning Administrator did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center
in the City of Anaheim on November 8, 2007, at 9:30 a.m., notice of said public hearing having
been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim
Municipal Code, Chapter 18.60 "Procedures", to hear and consider evidence for and against said
proposed variance and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection
therewith; and
WHEREAS, said Zoning Administrator, after due inspection, investigation and study
made by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at
said hearing, does find and determine the following facts:
1. That the petitioner proposes waivers of the following to construct a wall sign for an
existing office building:
(a) SECTION NO. 18.44.110.010.0103 Maximum letter height.
(36 inches maximum; 45.5 inches
proposed)
(b) SECTION NO. 18.44.110.010.0102 Maximum number of wall signs.
(Withdrawn)
2. That given the oblique orientation of the building in relation to the street and because
there is limited visibility of the building across a large parking area and from the 57 freeway and
Anaheim Stadium property, there are special circumstances applicable to the property such as size,
shape, topography, location or surroundings, which do not apply to other identically zoned
properties in the vicinity to justify the requested waiver of maximum letter height for wall signage.

s •
3. That the proposed 36 to 45 inch letters would be consistent with other wall signs in
the Stadium area and would also be proportional with the size and scale of the 4-story office
building.
4. 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.
5. That no one indicated their presence at said public hearing in opposition; and that no
correspondence was received in opposition to subject petition.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: The Planning
Director or her authorized representative has determined that the proposed project falls within the
definition of Categorical Exemptions, Section 15311, Class 11 (Accessory Structures), as defined in
the State CEQA Guidelines and is, therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare additional
environmental documentation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim Zoning Administrator
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 all signs shall be properly maintained in conformance with A.M.C Section 18.44.160
pertaining to sign maintenance such that any burnt bulbs or damaged sign copy shall be
replaced or repaired within a period of 48 hours.

of regular landscaping maintenance, removal of trash or debris, and removal of graffiti within
twenty-four (24) hours from the time of discovery.

Section 18.03.090 of the Anaheim Municipal.
5. That approval of this application constitutes approval of the proposed request only to the
extent that it complies with the Anaheim Municipal Zoning Code and any other applicable
