Ca I i forn i a, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach did on July 7, 1971,
conduct a public hearing to consider this application for a variance to permit applicant
to install a sign (statue) at a ground level of zero feet in 1 ieu of required minimum
height of eight feet high from the bottom of the sign to the existing or finished grade,
and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, there was presented written and oral testimony on the
property described as follows: Lot 1, Block 2, Tract 6851, and Lots I, 2, and 3, Tract
223, known as 1025 Pacific Coast Highway,
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that in view of the findings at said hearing, the Board
of Zoning Adjustments does hereby grant this variance for the following reasons:
1. The granting of this variance will not be detrimental to the pub] ic
welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity
and zone in which the property is located.
2. The granting will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan.
3. There are exceptional circumstances inasmuch as the statue is the Bob's
Big Boy trademark and is used at all other locations in a similar fashion.
The statue would be legally conforming if it were to be raised to the
eight foot level, but at this level it would appear to be more of a dis-
tracting influence on passing vehicles than at its present zero ground
level location.

a regular meeting held July 7, 1971, by the following vote:
AYES: Comms. Alton, Basila, Ostermann, Schubert, Chairman Williams
