CASE N0. VAR 06-80
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on
October 23, 1980, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider an appeal of the
approval granted to QRS CORPORATION (for ANAHEIM SAVINGS) for a Variance from the
Palm Desert Municipal Code (Sign Ordinance} to allow two (2) main signs, one of
which would be a freestanding sign located within the C-1, S.P. (General Commercial,
Scenic Preservation Overlay) zone, generally located at the northwest corner of
El Paseo and San Pablo Avenue, more particularly described as:
APN 627-202-003
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony
and arguments, the City Council did find the following facts and reasons to exist to
justify the approval of said appeal:
1. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the adopted
Sign Ordinance will not result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the ordinance.
2. There are no recognizable exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
or conditions involved that do not generally apply to other commercial
buildings with similar orientations.
3. The Sign Ordinance provides for signing beyond the main identifica-
tion sign; therefore, the strict or literal interpretation and
enforcement of the Ordinance would not deny the applicant a privi-
lege enjoyed by others in a similar circumstance.
4. The action of the Planning Commission was not appropriate for the above
reasons.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Palm
Desert, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the
findings of the Council in this case;
2. That the appeal of the Planning Commission action is approved and
therefo��e, Case No. VAR 06-80 is hereby denied.
