If this request is granted it may set precedence <br /> for the future. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> On the issue related to the variance request from the City Sign setback <br /> requirement, staff recommends denial based on the following reasons: <br /> 1) The literal enforcement and application of the City Code does <br /> not create an hardship on the applicant. It appears to staff that <br /> the sign could be moved back eight (8) feet without any <br /> significant alterations or hardship created in relation to the <br /> operation of the business. <br /> 2) In reference to the proposed sign restricting vehicular traffic, it <br /> appears to staff that the special circumstances are being created <br /> by the applicant. The applicant appears to be using part of the <br /> driveway area and parking area during the day to sell boats. <br /> Moving the sign back to meet code requirements does not appear <br /> to block traffic. There is approximately forty (40) to fifty (50) <br /> • <br /> feet between from where the setback allows the sign to be <br /> located and the building. This appears to staff to be sufficient <br /> area for semi-trucks to operate. <br /> 3) City Code allows for a maximum height of thirty-five (35) in a <br /> C-3 zoning district. The proposed sign is twenty-three (23) feet <br /> in height. If view is limited due to a wall and fence, the <br /> applicant is able to increase the height of the sign for better <br /> visibility. <br /> 4) If the variance is not granted, the applicant may still use an <br /> existing sign located on the property. <br /> On the issue related to the variance request from the City Code requirements <br /> on sign size, staff recommends denial of the variance request based on the <br /> following conditions: <br /> 1) Literal enforcement and application of the ordinance would not <br /> create a hardship or deprive the applicant of rights enjoyed by <br /> others. Other commercial property exists along similar frontage <br /> roads located beside Highway 10 and Highway 169 that require <br /> • additional setback from the highway.
