CASE NO. VARIANCE 90-012
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 9th day of October, 1990, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider
the request of the M. J. Brock & Sons for a Variance to the requirements of the Sign
Regulations (Section 9.212.120(A)(3) and (C)(2), La Quinta Municipal Code) in
order to permit one off site monument sign located at the northwest corner of
Tentative Tract 25389.
WHEREAS, said Variance case has complied with the requirements of
"The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (County
of Riverside, Resolution 82-213, adopted by reference in City of La Quinta Ordinance
#5), in that the Planning Director conducted an initial study, and has determined
that the proposed Variance will not have a significant adverse impact on the
environment; and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said
Planning Commission did find the following facts to justify the approval of said
Variance case:
"Special circumstances" due to the access limitations of the development due
to the project not having its major entrance off 50th Avenue, as required by
the City, that the Variance warrants favorable consideration.
Approval of the Variance would not constitute granting of a special privilege
inconsistent with limitations on similarly zoned property in the area.
A condition has been attached to the approval of this Variance requiring the
Applicant to obtain permission to locate the sign on land owned by CVWD.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the
City of La Quinta, California as follows:
That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the
findings of the Commission in this case;
That it does hereby confirm the conclusion of the Environmental
Assessment of this Variance;

the reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached
