P-94-44 Teas, an application was received from Bernardo Carpio for a variance and precise plan of design to allow a lot split with two undersized parcels on property located at 215 East Sierra Madre Avenue (Variance No. V-94-6 and Precise Plan of Design No. P-94- 44), and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered this request in a duly noticed public hearing on June 15, 1994, and has carefully considered all pertinent evidence and testimony, and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution Nos. 94-39 and 94-40 recommending to the City Council that this variance and precise plan of design be approved, and WHEREAS, the City Council has held a duly noticed public hearing on August 1, 1994, and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Azusa carefully considered all the pertinent evidence and testimony regarding Variance No. V-94-6 and Precise Plan of Design No. P-94-44. 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 strict application of the zoning of the site would impose practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships on the site because the only way to subdivide this property and still maintain the existing residences would be to create the parcels with the reduced lot widths proposed. Without these reductions, the owner would be required to maintain a 40,590 square foot parcel in the midst of a neighborhood of much smaller lots. This inability to subdivide a large parcel would place an unnecessary hardship on the property owner which is inconsistent with the zoning requirements for the Ria zone which encourages parcels of 10,000 square feet in size. SECTION 2. The City Council for the City of Azusa finds that the unusual shape and nearly one acre size of this property is different than most other parcels in this area. Most of the surrounding lots have sizes and shapes which are more consistent with typical large lot suburban subdivisions, with areas of around 10,000 square feet and without any L-shaped portions. The size and shape of the subject property therefore creates exceptional circumstances which do not generally apply to other parcels in this area. SECTION 3. The City Council for the City of Azusa finds that due to the placement of the existing structures on the site and the steeply sloping nature of the rear of the property, it would be difficult to construct any additional houses on this property. With no significant expansion of the use of this site possible, the only change which would be experienced by neighboring property owners would be the separate ownership of the two new parcels. This slight change in ownership pattern would have no practical impacts on nearby residents or the value of surrounding properties. Page 1 of 2 0 RESOLUTION NO. 94-C115 PAGE 2 OF 2 SECTION 4. The City Council for the City of Azusa finds that both this property and the surrounding RA, Rla and Rib zoned parcels are all designated for Low Density Residential uses by the Land Use Element of the Azusa General Plan. The change in ownership which would result from the requested variance would not change the existing or future character of this property, thereby keeping the uses consistent with those called for by the General Plan. SECTION 5. That based on the above findings, the Planning Commission hereby recommends to the City Council that the proposed Variance Case No. V-94-6 and Precise Plan of Design No. P-94-44 be approved for the property located at: 215 EAST SIERRA NADRE AVENUE, subject to the conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A, and incorporated herein by reference, as though set out in full and at length. SECTION 6. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this resolution. ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 15th day of August , 1994. I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was duly adopted by the City Council of the City of Azusa at a regular meeting thereof, held on the 15th day of August , 1994 by the following vote of the Council: AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: HARDISON, MADRID, NARANJO, BEEBE, ALEXANDER NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: NONE ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: NONE Page 2 of 2 APPROVED AS TO FORM: Ll r RESOLUTION NO. 94-C114 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA APPROVING AN APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION REGARDING VARIANCE NO. V-94-8 AND PRECISE PLAN OF DESIGN NO. P-94-55 WHEREAS, an application was received from Martha Kouyoumdjian/JMA Properties for a variance and precise plan of design to allow additional wall sign area within an existing shopping center on property located at 1123-1173 East Alosta Avenue (Variance No. V-94-8 and Precise Plan of Design No. P-94-55), and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered this request in a duly noticed public hearing on June 15, 1994, and has carefully considered all pertinent evidence and testimony, and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the required findings of fact, therefore approving the variance request with conditions of approval, including a condition allowing the applicant to have a "can" wall sign instead of a channel letter wall sign (Condition No. 1 [k]), and WHEREAS, the City Council has appealed the Planning Commission's decision on its own behalf, and a duly noticed public hearing was held on August 1, 1994, and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Azusa carefully considered all the pertinent evidence and testimony regarding Variance No. V-94-8 and Precise Plan of Design No. P-94-55, 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 strict application of the zoning of the site would impose practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships on the site because the unusually small wall signs currently found in this center could prove detrimental to business owners by failing to provide clear identification. Stores require clear identification to promote their business. This can be accomplished with a small increase in sign area without creating an unattractive overabundance of signs. The total sign area currently allowed for this center does not permit clear identification from the street for all businesses and, therefore, results in an unnecessary hardship on the tenants and the property owner. No such physical hardship exists, however, that requires the installation of a wall sign of a type different than all of the other wall signs found within this shopping center. SECTION 2. The City Council for the City of Azusa finds that the signs for the majority of the shops in this center are on the average smaller than those found for similar uses in other commercial zones in the City of Azusa. Furthermore, the commercial center has a supermarket which requires extensive sign area that leaves the surrounding tenants with less sign coverage. The proposed signs for the shopping center could clearly identify the tenants on the property while utilizing consistent channel letter design. The existence of these exceptional circumstances warrant a variance. Page 1 of 2
