PC13-152RESOLUTION NO. PC 13-152
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MENIFEE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF PP 2011-155 VAR 2013-
196 HAUN PROFESSIONAL BUILDING SIGN PROGRAM
Whereas, on November 7, 2011 the applicant, Haun Professional LLC, Steve
Gibson, filed a formal application with the City of Menifee for the proposed sign program.
Whereas, on October 8, 2013, the City of Menifee Planning Commission
considered public testimony and materials in the staff report and accompanying
documents, which hearing was publicly noticed by a publication in a newspaper of
general circulation, an agenda posting, and notice to property owners within 300 feet of
the project site boundaries; and
Whereas, on October 8, 2013, the City of Menifee Planning Commission made
the following Findings for Plot Plan No. 2011-155 and Variance No. 2013-196:
An Environmental Impact Report was approved and mitigation measures
adopted for Specific Plan 248. The proposed sign program and amendment to
the sign standard may result in a negligible increase in signage and therefore
does not require any further action under CEQA as a Class 3, per section 15303.
New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures .and a Class 11, 15311
Accessory structures.
2. The project site is designated Community Development: Commercial Retail on
the Sun City Menifee/Valley Area Plan.
3. The proposed project is consistent with the Specific Plan No. 248 Newport Hub,
with approval of a variance.
4. The zoning for the subject site is Planning Area 1 of Specific Plan No. 248
Newport Hub.
5. The proposed signs are consistent with Planning Area 1 of Specific Plan No. 248
Newport Hub.
The proposed project is consistent with the development standards set forth in
Planning Area 1 of Specific Plan No. 248 Newport Hub, excluding those
standards as noted in the subject Variance.
The proposed sign program deviates from certain standards regarding amount of
signs, sign height, and number of tenant names that are within the Specific Plan.
The deviation from these standards, as requested through the subject Variance
No. 2013-196, can be justified primarily from the location and orientation of the
three lots which limit the visibility of signage on the eastern most parcel from
Haun Road, thus necessitating enhanced signage in the form of one additional
monument sign on the southwest vacant parcel to serve all three parcels, six (6)
additional tenant names to provide for the number of anticipated tenants, and
additional height to allow for the additional tenant names. Therefore, with the
approval of the variance based on these findings, the proposed project is
consistent with the Zoning Code.
8. There is a reasonable probability that the project will be consistent with the future
adopted general plan, including a housing element that is consistent with state
housing element law. This property is within a Specific Plan and the land use is
not anticipated to change.
9. There is little or no probability that the project will be detrimental to or interfere
with the implementation of the future adopted general plan, including a housing
element that is consistent with State Housing Element Law.
10. The project proposes signage located on the east of Haun Road and north of
Newport Road which is an existing commercial portion of the City. The project
promotes the vision and values by focusing growth in an urban area. The project
is consistent with the vision and values of Menifee.
11. The public's health, safety and general welfare are protected through project
design.
12. The project is clearly compatible with the present and future logical development
of the area.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee resolves
and orders as follows:
1. The Findings set out above are true and correct.
2. Plot Plan No. 2011-155 and Variance No. 2013-196 is hereby approved subject
to the Conditions of Approval Exhibit "A" to this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this thqI 8th day of October, 2013.
