The existing pole for the previous pylon sign is located on the front property line. The proposed sign would be located 4 feet from the property line. The sign could not replace the existing pylon and meet the required setback from the front property line. If the pylon is located off the property line 10 feet it would be located in an existing drive and parking area. The sign could have been relocated further to the west, however relocating the sign would require the only tree remaining on the property to be removed. The tree would obstruct the view of the sign for westbound traffic. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
