Specifically, the <br />applicant is requesting a variance from Section 41- 863(x) and Section 41- 863(d) of the SAMC to <br />allow five additional secondary wall signs on two elevations that describe the motorcycle, all- terrain <br />vehicle, utility - vehicle, and power watercraft makes sold at the retail store and to install two primary <br />business identification signs above the maximum allowable height of 20 feet. <br />Project Location and Site Description <br />The subject property is approximately two acres in size and is developed with a 45,411 square foot <br />stand -alone building. The site is located to the east of California State Route 55 (SR -55) and south <br />of Warner Avenue at a reverse -curve on Pullman Street. Due to the reverse -curve on Pullman Street, <br />the site is odd shaped, resembling a diamond, and is fronted by Pullman Street to the northwest, <br />north and northeast. The unique shape of the site has resulted in the building being setback nearly <br />100 linear feet from Pullman Street along the western boundary, nearly 50 feet from the northern <br />boundary, and nearly 200 feet from the northeastern boundary. Buildings on adjacent properties to <br />the north and south have considerably smaller setbacks. The smaller setbacks on neighboring <br />properties, coupled with the site being located on a reverse curve, have resulted in an obstructed <br />view of the subject building when approaching the site from either the north or south. The site is <br />surrounded by industrial uses to the north, east and south; and the SR -55 to the west and northwest <br />(Exhibits 1, 2, 3 and 4). <br />EXHIBIT A <br />31A-3 <br />
