APPEAL 218 - VA 68-122 Hearing was opened on Appeal 218, filed CARTER SIGN CO. by Carter Sign Company, appealing the Zoning Administrator's denial of VA 68-122 to waive landscaping requirements in construction of an advertising sign which exceeds 35 feet in height. Willis Clemons, attorney representing Carter Sign Company, pointed out on a map the'location of the proposed sign, explained that it would be on C-2 zoned agricultural land, approximately 500 feet from the freeway, 600 feet from Main Street, would be lighted on the side toward the freeway, would not show toward the residential district; size or,sign is 20! k 80' with a height of 48 feet; and stated that they requested the required 15 feet of landscaping be waived because it would abut on Main Street approximately 600 feet from the sign, and part Of Main Street is not paved but is in farming, so the landscaping would be a hardship on the owner, would interfere with the farming, and would serve no purpose. The Planning Director explained that the Zoning Administrator's decision to deny the variance was affirmed by the Planning Commission since our freeway sign ordinance which has been in effect since 1954 prohibits signs 500 feet from the freeway; the landscaping question was technical; if the sign were allowed, he said, there would be no need to identify Santa Ana from the freeway because there would be a m~w of massive billboards. The hearing was closed. It was moved by Councilman Griset, seconded by Councilman Herrin, to overrule the action of the Zoning Administrator and grant the appeal and CITY COUNCIL 108 January 20, 1969
