Greg Fick (Applicant) is requesting approval of Variance No. 2018-09 for the <br />installation of a 15 -foot tall freestanding sign for the Bristol Place Shopping <br />Center at the property located at 3330 South Bristol Street. <br />B. Pursuant to Section 41-862(c)(2) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code <br />(SAMC); no freestanding sign shall exceed seven (7) feet in height. <br />Subsequently, Section 41-862(c)(3) of the SAMC allows freestanding signs <br />to be constructed up to a height of 15 feet for any development site of 15 <br />acres or more. The Applicant is requesting a variance to allow the new <br />freestanding sign to a height of 15 feet, as the subject site is only 12.7 acres <br />in size. <br />C. Variance No. 2018-09 came before the Planning Commission on October <br />8, 2018, for a duly noticed public hearing. Variance No. 2018-09 would <br />allow the installation of a new 15 -foot freestanding sign for the integrated <br />shopping center located at 3300 South Bristol Street. <br />D. The Planning Commission determines that for Variance No. 2018-09 the <br />following findings, which must be established pursuant to Santa Ana <br />Municipal Code Section 41-638 in order to grant a variance from the <br />provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, have been established: <br />1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject <br />property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, <br />the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the <br />subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent <br />and purpose of the provision of this chapter. <br />The project site has special circumstances related to size <br />and surroundings. The site is located at the southwest <br />corner of the Bristol Street and Alton Avenue intersection. As <br />Resolution No. 2018-30 <br />Page 1 of 5 <br />
