The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Variance No. 2002-01 came before the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on February 25, 2002. B. The Applicant is requesting approval of a variance from the Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-863(a) in order to allow a secondary sign on the primary elevation for the property located at 3500 West MacArthur Boulevard. C. In accordance with California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project is exempt from further review. Categorical Exemption No. 00-17 will be filed for this project. D. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant a variance from the provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, have been established: That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this chapter. Due to the relative size of the lot and the setback of the building from the street, the installation of additional signage will allow Home Depot the ability to identify a new service available at the store. The variance will also allow Home Depot the ability to use the property in a manner that is consistent with similar sized uses. • Resolution No. 2002-07 Page 1 of 3 • 2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The granting of the variance for secondary signage will allow the tenant the ability to identify a new activity that will be provided within the store 3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The secondary signage will not be detrimental to the surrounding area, as a condition of approval has been added that will limit the amount of secondary signage allowed on the site. This will assist in minimizing the visual clutter found on structures with multiple wall signs. 4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. • The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the City's General Plan in any way as the land use designation of Industrial (IND) allows signage in conjunction with uses in the land use designation. Section 2. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the public hearing hereby approves Variance No. 2002-01 as conditioned in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein.
