NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS.
Section 1,* The existing pole sign is not necessary for the
applicant's enjoyment of substantial trade, since the existing
building signs are highly visible to traffic on Western Avenue.
Section 2.# The existing pole sign constitutes needless
repetition, redundancy and proliferation of signage since the
signage on the building adequately identifies the site.
Section 3: The size and height of the existing pole sign is
not compatible and harmonious with the building and site, since
the excessive size and height are out of scale with the site,
Section 4: The design and size of the existing pole sign
detracts from the adjacent developed properties since all of the
adjacent commercial establishments on the west side of Western
Avenue have-removed their pole signs and the existing pole sign is
not compatible with the visual characteristics of the surrounding
area.
Section 5: The height and size of the existing pole sign has
a significant adverse effect on the character of the adjacent
residential district since the residences are at a higher
elevation and the sign is highly visible from.these residences.
Section 6: The granting of the Conditional Use Permit for
the existing pole sign would be contrary to the Specific Plan
since-the additional size is not necessary to identify the site
and the sign design is not compatible with the total site design.
Section 7#0 The refacing of existing signage is consistent
with the requirements of Section 17.52.020(C) 1-8 of the
Development Code and Specific Plan IV.
Section 8** For the foregoing reasons, the City Council
of the City of Rancho''Palos Verdes does hereby deny the appeal of

denying the Conditional Use Permit and approving the Sign Permit

hereto and made a part hereof, which are necessary to p reserve the
public health, safety and general welfare in the area,
PASSER, APPROVED and ADOPTED on January 16, 1990.
