RESOLUTION NO. 97-5874
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL- OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A SIGN VARIANCE FOR ONE MONUMENT SIGN 22
FEET IN HEIGHT LOCATED IN A PLANTER ADJACENT TO THE PUBLIC RIGHT
OF WAY AT 2901 & 3001 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY, VASEK POLAK BMW
WHEREAS, on May 20, 1997, the Planning Commission denied the request for a Sign
Variance request;
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on July 8, 1997, to receive oral and
written testimony regarding an appeal for a Sign Variance and, pursuant to Section 17.50.190 of
the Sign Ordinance, made the following findings:
A The Sign Variance is not a special privilege inconsistent with the limitation of properties in
the vicinity,
B. Special conditions and circumstances apply to the property and do not apply to other
properties in the vicinity so that the strict application of the sign ordinance results in a
hardship on the subject property. The proposed sign changes are a result of company
requirements for dealership sign replacement, which prescribes sign design and from one
sign vendor. This requirement to use a company approved sign results in an unusual
hardship in conforming to the Sign Ordinance relative to sign height in the C-3 zone
because the company authorized sign supplier does not manufacture a 20 foot high sign in
conformance with the Sign Ordinance;
C. The Sign Variance will not adversely affect public safety and the design and appearance of
the signs and structures of the surrounding area as it is unobtrusive relative to color and
lighting. The only structures and signing in the immediate area are the applicants.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Hermosa Beach, California does hereby approve a Sign Variance for 2901 & 3001 Pacific
Coast Highway, Vasek Polak BMW, subject to the following conditions:
