a. SECTION 18.62.090(B-1) - Minimum distance between free-standinq
signs. (300 feet required; 3 feet

(52 feet required; 43 feet proposed)
~~. SECTION 18.b2.090(S-2) - Idf.nimum sign height.
(8 feet required; 6~i feet proposed)
2. That signing as proYosed is far in Axcess of signing permitted within
the sign ordinance,anz to grant subject Fetition would be establish-
ing an undesirable precedent wherein every other service station in
Anaheim could request similar signing.
3. That the Planning Commission earlier in 1972 had denied a similar
reque3t with a finding that approval would establish a pr.ecedent
for mass ~igning of other service ~tations throughout the city, and
no changes have occurred to war.rant fa•vorable considera:tion of this
petition.
4. That the petitioner is proposing to increa~e the number of signs on
these service station sites from four to eight times that permitted
by Code, thereby automatically granting the petitioner a privilege
not enjoyed by other commercial and industrial developments through-
out the city. _1_
.
5. That there ar~o exceptional or extraord~ry circumstances or
conditions app icable to the property involved or to the intended
use of the property that do not apply generally to the property or
class of use in the s-~me vicinity and zone.
6. That the requested •iariance is not necessary for the preaervation
and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other
property in the same vicinity and zone and denied to the~property
in question.
7. That the requested variance will be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such
vicin?ty and zone in which the property is located.
8. Tnat the petitioner is propcsing six signs more than permitted by
the Sign Ordinance or an increase of almost 600$ over Code, and
thus he would be enjoying a very special privileqe if subject
petition were approved.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED thet the Anaheim City PlennIng Commission does hereby deny aubJect
Petitlon for Varience on the besis of the eforementioned findinga.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION ls slgned and approved by me this 31a day of "A~gust, 1972.
