WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Planning Commission (hereinafter referred to as
"Planning Commission ") did receive a verified Petition for Variance for certain real property
situated in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California shown on Exhibit "A ",
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference; and
WHEREAS, the petitioner requests a variance to modify a legal nonconforming
pole - mounted freestanding sign in the Commercial, General (C -G) zone and the Anaheim
General Plan designates this property for Neighborhood Center land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic
Center in the City of Anaheim on September 27, 20I0, at 5:00 p.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, the Planning Commission, 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 applicant requests to modify a legal nonconforming pole- mounted
freestanding sign under the following Code provision:
SECTION NO. 18.56.060.020 Continuation of Non - Conforming
Signs
2. The requested variance is hereby approved because there are special
circumstances applicable to the property because of the narrowness of the public right-of-way
and landscaped setback due to the widening of State College Boulevard.
3. Strict application of the Code would deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by
other properties under the identical zoning classification in the vicinity because there are three
other pole signs located in narrow landscape setbacks in the vicinity on State College Boulevard.

complete conditions of approval may be granted in accordance with Section 18.60.170 of the
