BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND ORDER VARIANCE NO. 2-88 Based upon the written request for a variance from the City's zoning code by: Arco Petroleum Products Co. Retail Marketing Design and Engineering 515 South Flower St.. Los Angeles, CA ,'071 hereinafter referred to as "Applicant," for a variance from E.M.C. 19.24.020(F), Signs, to allow: a three foot high monument sign not to exceed 22 square feet In area in lieu of 22 square feet of the 30 square feet of permitted wall signs for an Arco AM/PM mini mart to be constructed on the following described property: See Exhibit "A" commonly known as: 901 West. Casino Rd. The Board of Adjustment., following a public hearing on said application held on March 7, 1988, and further having reviewed all testimony, makes the following Findings, Conclusions and Order: VARIANCE CRITERIA: Findings and Conclusions: Criterion No. 1: That. there have been exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applying to the subject property or as to the intended use thereof that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity or zone. a. Finding: The subject property is part of a 3.8 acre vacant site that is zoned B-1, Nefgh�orhood Business with a contract which allows only multiple family use on the north one-half of the site and B-1. permitted uses on the south half. The applicant is proposing to construct. an Arco AM -PM Mini Market on the southeasterly .75 acre of tle site. The gas station/grocery store is a permitted B-1 use. When the Southwest Everett Comprehensive Plan was completed in 1982, this 3.8 acre site was designated Neighborhood Business. The site was subsequently rezoned from R-3, Multiple Family Residential to Neighborhood Business with Contract in 1984. The conceptual Bite plan approved at that time shows a unified neighborhood business project on the southern portion of the site (see Exhibit. 10). The owner has now subdivided the southern portion of the cite and so there will be commercial activities on two parcels. Therefore, signage will need to be provided for two parcels instead of consolidated signage for one parcel as originally anticipated. The B-1 zone allows wall signs and projecting signs up to a maximum of 30 feet for each separate business establishment.. Pole signs to 30 square feet in area are permitted only for a multi -tenanted building, and so the Arco AM/PM facility does not qualify for a pole sign.
