P.C. RESOLUTION 97-32
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DENYING 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 IDGHW AY, VASEK POLAK BMW
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 20, 1997, to receive
oral and written testimony regarding a request for a sign variance, pursuant to Section 17.50.190
of the Sign Ordinance and made the following findings:
A.
B.
C.
The variance is a special privilege inconsistent with the limitation of properties in the vicinity;
The special conditions and circumstances that may 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 are the cause of BMW of America and not site specific. The
proposed sign changes are a result of BMW of America's requirement for dealership sign
replacement, and company policy dictates the sign design and supplier. This requirement to
use a company approved sign is not the concern of the City of Hermosa Beach, and
furthermore other companies have adhered to the requirements of the City sign ordinance;
The variance will adversely affect the design and appearance of the signing and structures of
the surronding area due to the massive size of the proposed sign.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
Hermosa Beach, California does hereby deny a sign variance for 2901 & 3001 Pacific Coast
Highway, VasekPolakBMW.
