fabrication and assembly of signs)

(196 spaces required; 38 on-site spaces and sup-
plementery off-site tempor3ry parking areas pro-
posed)
2. That the petitioner has not proven a hardship existed in the u~e of the property
because of the unusual ~ize and shape of. the parcel.
3. That [he par'kir.g s.tuation in this area is critical now a:~d to approve a waiver
ot parking for the use would not be improving the situacion.
4. That che pecitior.e~ has been in ~~iolation of the parking requtrements specified
in a pcevious zoning action (Condi:ional Use Permit Nu. 742) approved on this prop~rty
since l~e has devoCed his en~Lre outdoor area to assembly and storage of signs rather than
maintaining the rEquired psrking areas.
5. That the peti[ioner has been charging storage fees for signs left on the premises
by their cuscomers and said sigrs are occupying required parking spaces.
6. That if che peticioner is going to provide such a storage service, lie should ac-
quire addicional propert}~ for this activity.
7. Tha~ if tl~e petitior.er would have complier? with the requi.rements of Conditional
Use Permit No. 742, ici which specific areas were propoced for outdoor assembly of signs,
~lie parking situation would be Lmproved; however, the outdoor assembly of signs has been
expanded beyund the boundaries of the use originally approved, thereby creating a defi-
ciency of parking.

8. That the petitiorer is providing only 38 parking spaces, hokever, he has 65
employees on the largest shift, thereby requiring employeQS to park on the street or use
other industries! parking spaces when street parking was not available, thereby depriving
adjoining industries of their rights to on-street parking for customers.
9. That granting a waiver of SOe of the required parking to the petitioner would
be granting a privilege not enjoyed by adjoining industrial uses.
10. That there are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions appli-
cable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply
generally to the prop~rty or class of use in the same vicinity and zone.
11. That the requested variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of a substantiel property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone,
and denied to the property in question.

or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the prop-
