Variance No. 2005-08 July 11, 2005 Page 1 of 1 Findings of Fact A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subj ect property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this chapter. Because of the size of the development, which is generally larger than the typical development facing Main Street, and because of its corner location, the strict application of the zoning code deprives the subj ect property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of Chapter 41. B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The variance for signage is not necessary to preserve and enjoy property rights as Northgate Market would, under the C- SM zoning standards, be allowed signage that would provide for identification of the business. C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The granting of the variance for signage will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property as conditioned. The proposed signs are in scale and proportion to the size of the development on the site. In addition, the removal of the three existing cabinet signs will reduce the clutter and sign blight, and provide a positive impact along the South Main Commercial District. D. That the granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City in any way as the land use designation of General Commercial (GC) allows signage in conjunction with the permitted uses in the land use designation.
