THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project is Categorically Exempt under Section 15311(a)(Accessory Structures). V Planning Commission Resolution No. 6328 Case SP 12-001 — La Plaza Sign Program May 22, 2013 Page 2 of 3 N Section 2: Section 93.20.09 stipulates three findings that are required for a sign program to be approved that deviates from the strict provisions of the Sign Ordinance. The Planning Commission finds that: 9) Due to the physical characteristics of the property and the orientation and design of the structures on the property, strict application of the regulations of the sign ordinance will not give adequate visibility to the signage. The subject site is a large multi -tenanted commercial complex that is traversed by a private street known as La Plaza. Tenant spaces are dispersed along streets (public and private), on the second floors and internal to the bungalow areas. Signage challenges include inability to find tenants within the large retail complex and first and second floor tenants without street frontage. Therefore, due to the physical characteristics and the orientation and design of the structures on the property, strict application of the sign ordinance would not give adequate visibility to the signage. 2) The approved program will be compatible with the design of the property and will represent the least departure from the standards of the sign ordinance necessary for the effectiveness of the program. The sign program allows for architectural compatibility with existing structures as it will use similar signage types that have commonly been used in the past on the building and will provide a simple, creative design options. Located both at the private street entries and center of the complex, the proposed directories will be strategically located in the large complex to provide effective wayfinding while representing the least departure from the standards of the sign ordinance. 3) The approved program is compatible with the surrounding property and not contrary to the purpose of the sign ordinance. The stated purpose of the sign ordinance as provided by Section 93.20.02(B) "is to provide standards to safeguard life, health, property and the public welfare and to provide the means for adequate identification of business and other sign users by regulating and controlling the design, location and maintenance of all signs in the city". The sign program limits the amount and type of signage that may be approved. The building wall signs and directory signs have very specific design criteria that will provide adequate, uniform signage for the buildings Planning Commission Resolution No. 6328 Case SP 12-001 — La Plaza Sign Program May 22, 2013 Page 3 of 3 and complex. The proposed deviations from the Sign Ordinance would also allow signage that has been commonly used on the building in the past. Thus, the approved sign program is compatible with the surrounding property and not contrary to the purpose of the sign ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves Case No. SP 12-001, establishing a sign program to allow various types of signage at the commercial complex located at 115 South Indian Canyon Drive, subject to those conditions set forth in Exhibit A.
