Based on the evidence submitted at the abovesaid hear- ing, this Council finds and determines as follows: (a) The proposed sign is inconsistent with develop- ments and improvements in the vicinity and will create a view deleterious to the area. (b) The proposed sign may create a significant traffic hazard since it is designed to draw the attention of motorists on the Newport Freeway. (c) There are no special circumstances pertaining to the subject property which cause any unreasonable hardship on the property owner in being required to comply with the zoning regulations regarding the size and location of off- premise advertising signs. (d) The proposed sign is inconsistent with the policies and goals of the "Scenic Corridors" elements of the General Plan. The Newport Freeway is a "scenic corridor" within the scope of such element and one of the objectives of such element is to create a positive visual image for the City.
