OF THE CITY OF AZUSA GRANTING AN APPEAL
OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION

NO. C-93-10, VARIANCE NO. V-93-10
AND PRECISE PLAN OF DESIGN P-93-99
WHEREAS, an application was received from D.R. Butler and Kunz
Outdoor Advertising Company for a conditional use permit, variance
and precise plan of design to construct a billboard within 660 feet
of the 210 Freeway on property located on the south side of the 210
Freeway east of Irwindale Avenue (Conditional Use permit No. C-93-
10, Variance No. V-93-10 and Precise Plan of Design No. P-93-99),
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered this request in a
duly noticed public hearing on October 27, 1993, and has carefully
considered all pertinent evidence and testimony, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission could not make the required
findings of fact, therefore denying the conditional use permit,
variance and precise plan of design request, and
WHEREAS, the applicant has appealed the Planning Commission's
decision, and The City Council has held a duly noticed public
hearing on December 6, 1993, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Azusa carefully
considered all the pertinent evidence and testimony regarding
Conditional Use Permit No. C-93-10, Variance No. V-93-10 and
Precise Plan of Design No. P-93-99,
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Azusa does hereby
resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council for the City of Azusa finds
that the granting of Conditional Use Permit No. C-93-10 and Precise
Plan of Design No. P-93-99 are justified as the proposed billboard
is not contrary to the Azusa General Plan. The billboard will have
limited impacts on surrounding properties due to its lack of
visibility from other sites. The proposed site can support the
requested billboard, with the appropriate granting of the requested
variance. The billboard is consistent with the overall intent
objectives for signage in Azusa.
SECTION 2. The City Council for the City of Azusa finds
that the granting of Variance V-93-10 is justified by an
unnecessary hardship, in that the denial of this billboard would
deprive the property owner of the only viable use of this property
permitted by its M-2 zoning.
SECTION 3. The City Council for the City of Azusa finds
that the granting of Variance V-93-10 is justified by an
exceptional circumstance, in that this parcel is one of a very
limited number of landlocked parcels adjacent to the 210 Freeway
within the City of Azusa.
SECTION 4. The City Council for the City of Azusa finds
that the granting of Variance V-93-10 will not cause an adverse
effect on surrounding properties, in that the billboard will not be
visible from other nearby industrial uses due to its location at
the base of a steeply sloped area.

with the issue of off -premise signs located along the 210 Freeway.
SECTION 6. The decision of the Planning Commission denying
Conditional Use Permit No. C-93-10, Variance V-93-10 and Precise
Plan of Design P-93-99 is hereby overturned, and the appeal is
granted.
