Finally, other similar projects have installed signage that is in compliance with the Sign Code. Therefore, the strict application of the zoning code would not deprive the subject property of privileges. 2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The variance for additional wall signage and to allow slogans on the signage is not necessary to preserve property rights as the tenant will still maintain the ability to modify the signage to meet City codes and allow identification of the business. 3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The granting of sign variances may be detrimental to the area by allowing excessive and large signage on the building that may contribute to adverse aesthetic impacts along the corridor. • 4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the City's General Plan in any way as the land use designation of District Center (DC) allows signage in conjunction with restaurant uses in the land use designation. F. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended action is exempt from further review.
