zone; and
WI�RFA.S, the Planning Catmission has held a public hearing on this
application in accordance with the City Code; and
Wf�iS, the Planning Calmission has found that this project is
consistent with the General Plan and the environmental docwnents associated
therewith;.and
Wf�3tF�S, the project has been fotmd to be categorically exempt fro�n the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CE�QA) per Section
15311(a); and
W�, the Planning Catmission finds, after due study, deliberation
and public hearing, the following circwnstances exist:
1. There are exceptions or extraordinary circw�tances applicable to this
property including the site layout which places the main entrance to the
building on an inner courtyard. 'I'his entrance location requires
additional signage to direct custaners into the restaurant.
2. The strict application of section 9-4.2407 of the Municipal Code
(relating to the maxim�nn nwnber of signs) does deprive such property of
privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity or same zone
because th� layout of other buildings provides entrances facing a public
street where the business signage is located.
3. The granting of the deviation is canpatible with the objectives,
policies and uses specified in the general plan because the proposed
signage ca�r�plies with Policy 6.12 of the Land Use Element of the General
Plan and provides adequate identification for the business.

properties.
