� held on January 18, 2005 and recommended approval of the conditional

advertising, but merely as recognition for the school sponsor or
supporters. :
b. The Council fmds that the sponsor panel element of the proposed
monument sign is appropriate for this site only because it will have the
following characteristics which support its approval: .

� of the governmental jurisdiction's facilities. .
� ii. The sponsor panel is a minor element of a monument sign
i
� showing the location of a governmental jurisdiction's facilities.
iii. The sign is located on the property of a governmental
jurisdiction.

ilength.
f
f � ' v. The sponsor panel will be located under the main portion of the
� sign, and the bottom of the panel will not be more than 24 -
i inches above the ground.

governmental jurisdiction as follows: ["donor name" supports
the"governmental jurisdiction name"]. . �
� vii. The sign is located in compliance with the setbacks established

� impacts because of its size and because it is located

� 6. The City Council has considered this application including the findings
� and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff,
comments by the applicant and the public, and the effect of the proposed
variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community.

peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning
district; that granting the variance 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 applicant, but is
! necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to
preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in
• keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive
Plan of the City.
