In . accordance with Chapter 17.44.010 of the Municipal Code, the
Architectural and Site Approval Committee finds as follows with regard to
the recommended approval of a Sign Exception:-
- That strict interpretation of Chapter. 17.28.050 prohibiting
Freeway -oriented signs results in practical difficulties, unnecessary
hardship and inconsistency with the purpose and intent of Title 17 for
the applicant due to the following circumstances:
a) Inconvenience to freeway motorists seeking the site location . A
discrete sign visible from the freeway would provide advance
opportunity to exit safely at the Wolfe Road interchange and
return via Ridgeview Court.
® b) The legislative intent of the City's Sign Regulations, as stated
in Chapter 17.04.020 (B) is to provide for public convenience, and
to maintain identification of individual business enterprises
Within the City. The intent of Chapter 17.28.050 is to preclude
advertising .messages which are distracting to freeway traffic. The
subject,wall sign is deemed to be an identification device only.
c) The grant of exception is based on the site's lack of thoroughfare
frontage and its distance greater than 600 from the nearest
thoroughfare frontage.
CONDITIONS:
1-8) Standard Architectural and Site Approval Conditions to the extent
that they do not conflict with the special conditions listed herein.
