KinderCare Variance <br /> Planning Case 549-99 <br /> • March 30, 1999 <br /> Page 3 <br /> e. That the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. <br /> Economic conditions alone shall not be considered a hardship. <br /> Having a permanent pylon sign in addition to the existing building signage is the minimum <br /> variance which would alleviate the hardship. <br /> f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other <br /> property in the same zone. <br /> The basis for this Code provision is to prevent the intrusion of commercial signage within <br /> residential districts. This property is surrounded on all sides by streets, is located on <br /> Highway 10, the City's primary commercial corridor, and is surrounded by commercial <br /> uses including Western Bank, Amoco Gas, and the Holiday Stationstore. The proposed <br /> sign would be located adjacent to Highway 10. <br /> g. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent <br /> property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the <br /> danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property <br /> • values within the neighborhood <br /> Were the variance to be granted, it would not impair any neighboring properties' supply of <br /> light or air, it would not create any additional traffic impact nor would it increase the <br /> danger of fire or endanger the public safety. It is assumed that there would be no impact <br /> to property values. <br /> According to the City Code, all of the preceding criteria shall be satisfied in order to justify the <br /> granting of a variance. As pointed out in the above responses, a hardship clearly exists in this <br /> case. <br /> Resident Comment: As per State notification requirements, staff sent out public hearing notices to <br /> all properties within 350 feet of the KinderCare property. Of the 19 properties affected, only 12 <br /> are developed residentially. All of the others are developed commercially with the exception of <br /> Church on the Rock and a vacant parcel on the south side of Highway 10. Staff has not received <br /> any comments concerning this request. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Approve Planning Commission Resolution 575-99, a resolution approving a variance from <br /> Chapter 1008 of the Municipal Code pertaining to signage to allow a permanent, freestanding <br /> • pylon sign at 2791 Highway 10, KinderCare Learning Center. <br /> James Ericson, Planning Associate <br /> N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\DE VCASES\549-99\K-CARE.RPT <br />
