CUP 20.doc SECTION 2, REOUIRED FINDINGS Pursuant to Redlands Municipal Code Section 15 36 100(F) and, after consideration of the record before the City Council, and all oral and written evidence and testimony presented at the public hearing for Sign Conditional Use Permit No 21, the City Council hereby finds as follows 1 The size of the sign(s) is compatible with the design, architecture, and scale of the building(s) and/or project The applicant has proposed a single freeway sign to accommodate two tenants in lieu of constructing two (2) individual freeway-oriented signs to minimize visual clutter The design of the sign ties in colors and materials from the buildings located withm the center for a cohesive appearance , 2 The size of the sign(s) is aesthetically consistent with the Project, adjacent areas, and the City of Redlands The Project is located in an urbanized area of the City, adjacent to the 1-10 Freeway and heavily traveled local streets The sign will be located more than 100 feet from an adjacent 120 foot tall gasoline service station sign, which has set a precedence of existing freeway-oriented signage in the area The sign integrates decorative elements such as a decorative roofing cap and metal scrolls to provide a sign representative of the high aesthetic standards of the adjacent area and within the City of Redlands 3 The size of the sign(s) are needed to provide necessary Project identification for the benefit of the general public The sign cabinet will have a width of twenty feet and will display two tenants To provide context, permit information for the adjacent gasoline service station sign indicates that adjacent sign reflects one tenant and has a diameter of 12 feet As such, a two tenant sign allocating a width of ten feet per tenant is consistent in scale and the size and height are necessary to provide Project identification for the benefit of the general public, given the limited visibility of the center due to topography and vegetation at points 3/10 of a mile from beginning of each of the Ford Street off-ramps Section 3 APPROVAL The City Council hereby approves Sign Conditional Use Permit No 20, subject to the Conditions
