<br />intersection with unobstructed views to the building. Further, <br />the building is located on two property lines, which provides <br />direct visual access to the building. Finally, other similar <br />projects have installed signage that is in compliance with the <br />Sign Code. Therefore, the strict application of the zoning <br />code would not deprive the subject property of privileges. <br /> <br />2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation <br />and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. <br /> <br />The variance for additional wall signage and to allow slogans <br />on the signage is not necessary to preserve property rights <br />as the tenant will still maintain the ability to modify the <br />signage to meet City codes and allow identification of the <br />business. <br /> <br />3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to <br />the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. <br /> <br />The granting of sign variances may be detrimental to the <br />area by allowing excessive and large sign age on the building <br />that may contribute to adverse aesthetic impacts along the <br />corridor. <br /> <br />4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General <br />Plan of the City. <br /> <br />The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the <br />City's General Plan in any way as the land use designation <br />of District Center (DC) allows signage in conjunction with <br />restaurant uses in the land use designation. <br /> <br />F. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the <br />recommended action is exempt from further review. Categorical Exemption <br />Environmental Review No. 04-188 will be filed for this project. <br /> <br />Section 2.
