A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ANNOUNCING
FINDINGS AND APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE PALM DESERT MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING THE NUMBER OF IDENTIFICATION SIGNS IN
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ZONES.
CASE NO. VAR 03-79
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert,
California, did on May 3, 1979, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to
consider the application of DANIEL L. DWORSKY, FAIA, ARCHITECT & ASSOC.
(REPRESENTING COLUMBIA SAVINGS & LOAN), requesting approval of a
Variance from Section 25.68.290 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code
to allow an additional parking area identification sign, pursuant to
the procedures established for the granting of exceptions in
Section 25.68.730, for the Columbia Savings and Loan building generally
located at the southwest corner of Highway 111 and Highway 74, more
particularly described as:
APN's 629-720-013
629-720-014
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering
all testimony and arguments, the Planning Commission did find the
following facts and reasons to exist to justify the approval of
said Variance:
1. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement
of the adopted Sign Ordinance will result in
practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship
inconsistent with the objectives of the Ordinance.
2. There are recognizable exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions involved that do not
generally apply to other commercial buildings with
similar orientations.
3. The Sign Ordinance does not provide for signing when
the main identification cannot be seen by traffic,
and, therefore, the strict or literal interpretation
and enforcement of the Ordinance would deny the
applicant a privilege enjoyed by others in a similar
circumstance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission
of the City of Palm Desert, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and
constitute the findings of the Commission in this case;
2. That Case No. VAR 03-79 is hereby approved, subject
to a maximum of 12" high letters and said sign shall
not be illuminated.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the
Palm Desert Planning Commission, held on this 3rd day of May, 1979,
by the following vote, to wit:
AYES: BERKEY, FLESHMAN, KRYDER, SNYDER
NOES: NONE
ABSENT: NONE
ABSTAIN: NONE
ATTEST:
PAUL A. WILLIAMS, Secretary
ALTER SNYDER, 9'airman
