1. Chapter 19.^4 / B-1 / �Jeighborhood Shopping Zone. Specifically 19.24.020 (F). Variance to install a pole sign 5' tall x 5'-0" x 4'-0" diaineter, 1.79 square feet in excess of 30 square feet allowed. In Fina� Declaration of Non-Significance, SEPA q82-60, dated November 2, 1382; para9raph 17 refers to City of Everett Zoning Code effective this date: "All signs erected shall be in compliance with the City of Everett Siyn Code and the permissible square footage as stated in the B-1 Neigh6orhood Shopping Zone, specifically as follows: One lighted or unlighted sign, not to exceed thirty syuar•e feet in area placed on the property for which the identifying or advertising message is in- tended. Lighted signs shall not be of flashing or animated character. No specific li�nitaLion on the �lacement or �� of advertising sign appears, except that sign inust be "placed on the property". Size is limited per the Code to 30 square feet per face. Placement or typc of advertising sign do not appear in the SEPA q82-60 as pr•epared by the City Planning Director because no such limitation appeared in the Zoning Code. Sometime after the SEPA Document was prepared, without any advance notice to the restaurant developer, and having a copy of SEPA p82-60 on file as prc- pared by the Flanning Uirector, for this subject property, the Planning Cum- mission unalaterally approved a cnange in Section 19.24.020(F). The Zoning Code as ammended limited the type of signs to wall or projectin�� an�i pole signs to buildings with multi-tenant occupancies. 2. The Zoning Code in effect fer 4-1 zone at the time the Planning Director prepared the Final Declaration of Non-Significance for approval of a restaurant at this site did not limit the location of advertising signs. A pole or free- standing sign was not restricted to buildings with mulit-tenant occupancies. 4pplication of ?he ammended Zoning Code to this site is to change conditions and add restrictions not contained in the SEPA q82-60 or the Cverett Zoning Code on November 2, 1982. Itestricting the plac�ment and type of advertising sign deprives the property owner of a right and privilege previously enjoyed by his and other property owners in the D-1 zone. A clioice of placement and type of advertising sign was allowed under the conditions as set forth in Che SEPA Docunient and the [verett Zoning Code. 3. The variance requeste�i will not be detrimental to ti�e public wellfare or injurious to the properties in the vicinity of the znne in which the property is located. Other commercial uses exist with pole signs on all the adjoining propertie� except the Nrnperty located directly to the West of this site. Olson's Shopping Center with numerous buildings and businesses is directly North across the street. r. r H � rn F �� �� �, . fd ' �; �` oY �r � -1,
