That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The granting of a variance for the additional wall sign will not be detrimental to the area. The existing sign, which is 104 square feet, in conjunction with the proposed 50 square feet sign would not exceed the maximum area allowed by code. Additionally, the proposed wall sign is proposed to be placed on the north elevation, away from any residential uses. Finally, due to the size of the north elevation and the removal of two existing wall signs that were allowed under a previously approved variance, the installation of an additional wall sign will not result in visual clutter on the premises. 4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The granting of the proposed variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The land use designation of General Commercial (GC) allows signage in conjunction with retail uses. Resolution No. 2006-032 Page 2 of 6 31A-13
