PC RES 2016-017 P.C. RESOLUTION NO. 2016-17 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES CONDITIONALLY APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 153 REVISION "F" TO ALLOW THE REPLACEMENT OF THE 17 SQUARE-FOOT PRICE SIGN FACE INTERNALLY LIT WITH FLUORESCENT BULBS WITH A NEW LED ILLUMINATED SIGN WITHIN THE EXISTING 6-FOOT TALL MONUMENT SIGN LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY AT 31186 HAWTHORNE BLVD (CASE NO. ZON2016-00466). WHEREAS, on June 26, 1990, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 153 to increase the height of an existing canopy located over gasoline pumps of a former Unocal 76 gasoline and auto repair station. The canopy was approved to exceed the City's 16-foot height limit; and, WHEREAS, on October 23, 1990, the Planning Commission adopted P.C. Resolution 90-32 thereby approving Conditional Use Permit No. 153 Revision "A", clarifying the height increase of the existing canopy to 18'-8"; and, WHEREAS, on December 8, 1992, the Planning Commission adopted P.C. Resolution 92-77 thereby approving Conditional Use Permit No. 153 Revision "B" to allow a hand car wash operation at a former Unocal 76 Service Station. Although the use was approved, the applicant failed to construct the hand car wash and the permit expired; and, WHEREAS, on December 9, 1997, the Planning Commission approved Revision "C", again approving a hand car wash facility at the station. The hand car wash facility was never constructed and the permit expired. Subsequently, an application for Conditional Use Permit No. 153 Revision "D" was submitted on April 4, 2000 for a proposed hand car wash, but later withdrawn on July 22, 2004; and, WHEREAS, on March 28, 2006, the Planning Commission adopted P.C. Resolution No. 2006-17, approving Conditional Use Permit No. 153 Revision "E" and a Sign Permit, Site Plan Review, and an Environmental Assessment for the construction of a new 7-Eleven convenience store building, off-site sale of beer and wine, the installation of an automated teller machine, a new monument sign, facade modifications to an existing canopy structure, new landscaping, a new trash enclosure, and 14 on-site parking spaces; and, WHEREAS, on September 30, 2016, Metro Signs, representing both 7-Eleven and the property owner Thrifty Oil Co. submitted an application (Case No. 2016-00466) for a Conditional Use Permit Revision to replace an existing internally lit monument price sign with a new double- faced LED illuminated price sign within the existing monument sign at the northwest corner of the subject property; and, WHEREAS, on October 27, 2016, the application was deemed generally complete for processing; and, WHEREAS, on November 17, 2016, a public notice was mailed to owners of property within a 500-foot radius of the subject site and published in the Palos Verdes Peninsula News pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code; and, P.C. Resolution No. 2016-17 Page 1 of 12 WHEREAS, the proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), under Article 19, Section 15301(b) (existing facilities) of the California Guidelines for Implementation of the CEQA. Specifically, the project involves a change in the signage and does not involve an expansion of an existing use or any site disturbance; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing on December 13, 2016, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The proposed project involves the replacement of an existing 17 square foot internally lit price sign with a new double-faced 17 square foot LED illuminated price sign within the existing monument sign at the northwest corner of the subject property. The existing price sign is currently internally illuminated by standard fluorescent bulbs. The proposed double- faced LED illuminated price sign will replace the existing double-faced price sign in the same size. The new sign will continue to advertise types of gas and prices for both payment methods (cash and credit). Section 2: The sign is necessary for the applicant's enjoyment of substantial trade and property rights, and the sign does not constitute needless repetition, redundancy or proliferation of signage. More specifically, the proposed signage is necessary for the enjoyment of substantial trade rights and property rights, specifically, the existing gas station use by advertising gas prices. The installation of the LED illuminated price sign will not create needless repetition as the existing monument price sign is the only type of gas price advertisement located on the property. The proposed sign is needed to identify prices and the individual fuel dispensers. Section 3: The sign is consistent with the intent and purposes of this section, as set forth in subsection (A) of this section. More specifically, the purpose of signs is to "...serve primarily to identify the general nature of an establishment or to direction attention to a product, activity, place, person, organization, or enterprise...signs must not subject citizens of the city to excessive competition for their visual attention...(RPVDC §17.76.050.A)." The proposed LED monument price sign identifies the general nature of the establishment (i.e. gas station) and does not result in excessive competition for visual attention as it is a replacement of an existing sign of the same size in the same location. Additionally, the proposed LED illumination is the industry standard now for displaying fuel prices, because of its versatility, convenience, and enhanced visibility Section 4: The sign does not constitute a detriment to public health, safety and welfare. More specifically, the proposed sign is designed to upgrade the existing price sign. The new face will be integrated into the existing 6-foot tall monument sign and will remain the same square footage which will not create adverse impacts to the surrounding area. As a safety precaution to prevent any glare or bright lighting onto oncoming traffic, the LED monument price sign will be conditioned not to exceed the code requirements for outdoor lighting set forth in RPVMC Section 17.56.040 and to have an automatic dimming system to control the amount of lumens emitted during the different operating times of the day and evening. Additionally, approval of the CUP revision is conditioned to require the Director's P.C. Resolution No. 2016-17 Page 2 of 12 review of the LED lighting within 30 days after installation to ensure light and glare do not adversely impact vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Additionally, the existing monument's location was initially approved by Planning Commission through the review and determination of the Public Works Department concluding the monument sign will not cause a visibility or safety issue for vehicles. Section 5: The size, shape, color and placement of a sign shall be considered in order to determine if the sign is compatible with, and bears a harmonious relationship to, the building and site which it identifies. More specifically, the general size and location of the proposed LED sign face will not be altered. The existing monument sign is currently harmonious with the main convenience store structure when comparing the materials and color of both structures. Section 6: The location of the proposed sign and the design of its visual elements, including its lettering, colors, decorative motifs, spacing and proportions, shall be considered in order to determine whether the sign is legible under normal viewing conditions prevailing where the sign is to be installed. More specifically, the proposal includes the removal and replacement of an existing face signage within an existing monument sign that will remain in the same location. The internal illumination for said sign will be replaced from fluorescent lighting to LED with a dimming system that will adjust the brightness to make it legible under normal viewing conditions during different operating times of the day and evening. Section 7: The location and design of the proposed sign shall be considered in order to determine that the sign will not obscure from view or unduly detract from existing adjacent signs. More specifically, the existing sign does not block nor obscure any signage on the subject property or neighboring properties. The proposed sign face replacement is being installed within an existing monument sign that will remain in the same location. Section 8: The location and design of the proposed sign, its size, shape and color shall be considered in light of the visual characteristics of the surrounding area to determine that the sign will not detract from or cause depreciation of the value of adjacent developed properties. More specifically, the proposed sign face replacement is being installed within an existing monument sign that will remain in the same location. To reduce the potential impact of the brightness from the proposed LED price sign and other internally illuminated signs, the subject sign will be conditioned to have an automatic dimming system to control the amount of lumens (not to exceed outdoor lighting code requirements of RPVDC Section 17.56.040) emitted during the different operating times of the day and evening. Thus, the project will not detract from or cause depreciation to the value of adjacent developed properties. Section 9: The location and design of a proposed sign in commercial districts in close proximity to any residential district shall be considered in order to determine that the sign will have no adverse effect on the value and character of the adjacent residential district. More specifically, the proposed sign face replacement is being installed within an existing monument sign that will remain in the same location. Additionally, subject sign will be conditioned to have an automatic dimming system to control the amount of lumens emitted during the different operating times of the day and evening. Thus, the proposed signage replacement with LED illumination would provide no adverse effect on the value and character of the adjacent residential district. Section 10: Any interested person aggrieved by this decision or by any portion of this decision may appeal the project to the City Council. The appeal shall set forth in writing, the P.C. Resolution No. 2016-17 Page 3 of 12 grounds for appeal and any specific action being requested by the appellant. Any appeal letter must be filed within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of this decision, or by 5:30 PM on Wednesday, January 4, 2017. A$2,275.00 appeal fee must accompany any appeal letter. If no appeal is filed timely, the Planning Commission's decision will be final at 5:30 PM on Wednesday, January 4, 2017. Section 11: For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and findings included in the Staff Report, Minutes and other records of proceedings, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby adopts P.C. Resolution No. 2016-17 thereby conditionally approving Conditional Use Permit No. 153 Revision "F", subject to the conditions contained in the attached Exhibit "A" to allow the replacement of the 17 square foot price sign face internally lit with fluorescent bulbs with a new LED illuminated sign within the existing 6-foot tall monument located at the northwest corner of the subject property.
