FOOT HIGH FREESTANDING FREEWAY ORIENTED SIGN

WHEREAS, Lou Kashmere filed Planning Application No. 95-0066 in accordance with
the City of Temecnia General Plan and Riverside County Land Use and Subdivision Ordinances,
which the City has adopted by reference;
WHEREAS, Planning Application No. 9543066 was processed in the time and manner

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered Planning Application No. 95-0066 on
August 7, 1995, at a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law, at which time interested
persons had an opportunity to testify either in support or in opposition;
WHEREAS, at the public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and
arguments, if any, of all persons deserving to be heard, the Commission considered all facts
relating to Planning Application No. 95-0066;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
TEMECULA DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
Section 2. Findings. That the Temecula Planning Commission hereby makes the
following findings:
1. The Variance constitutes a grant of special privileges that is inconsistent
with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property is
situated, and which are necessary to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the
community. According to a flag test conducted for the Texaco sign (which is approximately 100
feet from the proposed sign and at the same grade), a 45 foot high sign on the site could have
visibility from all directions but one. Visibility of the sign was adequate from the southbound
lanes ofbl5 and Front Street, and westbound on lower Highway 79. The sign at 45 feet is not
visible from the northbound lanes of 1-15. Only the Texaco sign is greater than 45 feet in the
area. To allow a sign greater than 45 feet in height would not contribute to the health, safety
and general welfare of the community.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. Planning Application No. 95-0066 (Variance)
is statutorily exempt pursuant to Article 18, Section 15270 of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). CEQA does not apply to projects which a public agency rejects or
disapproves.
Section 4. PASSED, APPROVED AND ~OPTED this 7th day of August, 1995.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was duly adopted by the Planning
Commission of the City of Temecula at a regular meeting thereof, held on the 7th day of
August, 1995 by the following vote of the Commission:
