RESOLUTION NO. 3531
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
GRANTING A VARIANCE FROM THE TERMS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE
OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS TO PERMIT A MONUMENT SIGN WITHIN
300 FEET OF AN EXISTING ENTRY SIGN.
VARIANCE NO. 88 -9
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS HEREBY FINDS, RESOLVES,
DETERMINES, AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
1. That an application was filed for a variance from the terms of the
Zoning Ordinance of the City of Cypress to permit a monument sign within 300
feet of an existing entry sign. The monument sign is proposed to be located
on Valley View Street, 120 feet north of the existing Corporate Drive entry
sign.
2. That the City Council, after proper notice thereof, duly held a
public hearing on said application as provided by law.
3. That the City Council hereby finds that:
a. Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or
unnecessary physical hardship in that the subject parcel would not be
permitted to construct a freestanding monument sign due to the proximity
of the lot to the project entrance sign.
b. The granting of the variance as conditioned will not
constitute the granting of a special privilege since other businesses
within the City are permitted to construct a freestanding monument sign
to advertise the business.
c. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties
or improvements in the vicinity.
d. The proposed variance will not create a proliferation of signs
adjacent to Valley View Street since a monument sign will not be
permitted on the corner parcel of Valley View Street and Cerritos
Avenue.
4. The City Council DOES HEREBY GRANT said variance subject to the
conditions in Exhibit "A" attached.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cyp1 ss at a
