• <br />RESOLUTION NO.00-72 <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION <br />OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING <br />ADDITIONAL CANOPY SIGNAGE AND DENYING <br />NEW FREESTANDING SIGNS AT THE SUPER <br />WAREHOUSE GROCERY STORE LOCATED AT 1720 <br />EAST SEVENTEENTH STREET <br />WHEREAS, the applicant seeks relief from the sign requirements of Santa Ana Municipal <br />Code Sections 41-863(a), 41-862(b), and 41-862(c)(2) in order to install three new secondary <br />canopy signs on the primary building at 1720 East Seventeenth Street, to reduce the required <br />landscaped setback around each freestanding sign by a minimum of one foot, and to allow signs <br />that exceed seven feet in height, sixteen feet in overall width, and forty five square feet of face <br />area; <br />WHEREAS, Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 provides for the granting of a <br />variance from the provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, upon making certain findings; and <br />WHEREAS, this Commission held a public hearing on February 12, 2001, on Variance <br />• Application No. 00-68, for relief from certain provisions of the sign code. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISION OF THE <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: <br />1. Based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing this Commission finds and <br />determines as follows: <br />A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, <br />shape, topography, location or surroundings, that the strict application of the zoning <br />ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance <br />with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this chapter. <br />Due to the relative size of the lot and the setback of the building from the street, the <br />installation of additional signage will allow Superior Warehouse the ability to <br />identify goods and services available within the store. The variance will also allow <br />Superior Warehouse the ability to use the property in a manner that is consistent <br />with similar sized uses. <br />The freestanding sign variances are not necessary as no special circumstances exist <br />on the site that deprive the site of privileges. Other similar sized projects along the <br />East Seventeenth Street have installed signage that is in compliance with the Sign <br />• <br />1 <br />
