The City Council of the City of Azusa does hereby find and determine that: A. There was filed with the Planning Commission six applications for variances, Independent Out- door Advertising, V-814 301 South Irwindale Avenue; V-815 145 North Azusa Avenue; V-816 504 North Citrus and 900 Gladstone; V-817 575 East Arrow Highway; V-818 227 South Azusa Avenue; and V-819 817 West Gladstone. B. Applications V-814 and V-817 requested a variance from the provisions of Section 19.54.010 of the Azusa Municipal Code. Application V-819 requested a variance from the provisions of Section 19.54.020(c) of the Azusa Municipal Code. Applications V-815 and V-816 requested a variance from the provisions of Section 19.54.010 and Section 19.54.020(c) of the Azusa Municipal Code. Application V-818 requested a variance from the provisions of Section 19.52.080 of the Azusa Municipal Code. C. A duly.noticed public hearing was held on these said applications by the Planning Commis- sion of the City of Azusa on September 21, 1983, and the Planning Commission voted to deny the subject variances by a vote of five in favor, one opposed and one absent. D. The variances were appealed to the City Council by the applicant, Independent Outdoor Advertising. E. A duly noticed public hearing was held by the City Council on the said appeals on November 7, 1983, and November 21, 1983, at which time the Council received all oral and written evidence presented at the hearing by the applicant and other interested persons. SECTION 2. After carefully considering all of the oral and written evidence presented at the said public hearing, the City Council finds and determines that: A. The strict application of the provisions of the Azusa Municipal Code, Zoning, would not result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the title. r 0 0 B. There are no exceptional circumstances or conditions apDlicable to the properties involved or to the intended use or development of the properties involved that do not apply generally to other property in the same zone. C. The granting of the variance for the sub- ject properties would be materially detrimental to the public welfare and injurious to the pro- perty or improvements in the zone or neighbor- hood in which the properties are located in that the addition of more signs in excess of those permitted by the Code would substantially contribute to sign clutter, would increase the unsightliness of signs in the area and would adversely affect the City's efforts to beautify the areas where the signs would be located. D. The granting of the variance for the sub- ject properties would be inconsistent with the General Plan of the City of Azusa in that the General Plan calls for beautification of the areas where the additional signs would be located and the addition of signs in excess of those permitted under current City code would substantially contribute to sign clutter in the area, create unsightly parcels with these signs and adversely affect the City's efforts to beautify these areas. SECTION 3. Based upon the findings set forth above, the appeal of Zone Variance Cases No. V-814, V-815, V-816, V-817, V-818 and V-819 are denied and the zone variances re- quested on said applications are hereby denied.
