Pacific Highway Appl,icant Gary Reddaway , Architect for Dr. John Webber A�licant' s Request_ ' Approval to erect an off premise sigrt /�pplicant' s Proposal � " To erect an off premise identification sign within an easement located within the access way to the Fanily Drive-In Theatre. Proposed sign is carved wood, 36 square feet on each side. � Staff Findings 1. The Webber Dance Studio is located on a lot adjacent the access way to the Family Drive-In Theatre and gains access to Pacific Highway over an easemen� , within said access �ray. Said Dance Studio has no legal frontage on S.W. Pacific Nighway,. � 2. The subject property is located Within a C-3, General Commercial zone. - 3. Chapter 16. 40 Special Ty,pes of Siqns; Section 16. 40. 040 Certain Sign�s Prohibited, (Tigard �1unicipal Code subsection e states "No off- premises sign shall be permitted in any commercial or industrial zone except outdoor advertising � signs, as regulated in Section 16. 40. 090. '' 4. Taco Bell and Dunkin Donut restaurants have been approved adjacent the subj�ct site and front on Pacific� Nighway. Eacfi restaurant will haue a sign. 5. Section 16. 34. 020 Uariance Granting (Tigard I�unicypal Code) states "the Planning Commission may grant a � �;' variance from the provisions 'af this title based on findings that clue to Practical difficulti.es, undue hardships or inconsistencies with the objectives of this title, the strict or literal interpretation ' and enforcement of a specific requirement hereunder should be waived or modified. �' � , .- 6. Section 16. 04.010 Purpose and Scope s�ates . "The city council finds that to protect the health� �'�= safety, property and Welfare of the public, to improve the neat, clean, orderly and attr'active appearance of the. community, t•o improve the effective- ne�s of signs in identifying and advertising businesses, to provide for safe construction, location, erection, and maintenance of signs, 'to eliminate signs that demand rather than invite public attention and to prevent proliferation of signs and sign clutter, and to minimize adverse visual safety factors to . public highway travelers, it is necessary to regulate the design, quality of materials, construction, , location, electrification, illumination and maintenance - of all signs visible from public property or from public rights-of-way. 7. Yhe applicant has not shown �he subject business . will experience a hardship or that the objectives � ' of the Sign Code are inconsistant with a prohibition of off-premises signs. The Tigard Gyrnnastic Studio, a similar use, is located within an Industrial Park zone and has no street identification sign. It does not appear an off-premise sign is a prerequisite � ss to the success or failure of the type of busine . in question. � ' � StaPf Recommendation 8ased upon the above findings, the staff recommends. denial of the applicant' s request ' � Page 2 - Webber Dance Studio - Staff Report - 5-6-74 . _ . �■�► . .,.. : , , ,.. _ - _ , NY,1174 SE t/4 5t1. r �v�v ..� � �_,, �.� ,. ��.,,.:_ _ ` � .

Main Street Tigard, Oregon 97223 Dear Sir: � � This letter concerns the sign ordinance with regard to the 1Nebber Dance Studio recently constructed adjacent to the Family Drive-In Theatre. Upon consultation with you this date, I was informed that no off-premises signs would be allowed under the existing ordinance. Our problem is that Dr. Webber owns no direct sfireet frontage, instead he holds two easements to S, W. Pacific Highway with a total frontage r of 100 feet in width. �w' This letter shall serve as an initiative document for an appeal of the sign ordinance to the Sigrz Code Board of Appeals. We wish �to locate a wood carved sign, 36 square feet each side in size, within the � easement for business identification. Dr, Webber's easement agreement contains a clause allowing sign placement. � . V tru;ly y urs, . ' � Gary Re way � G R/Pr cc: Dr. John Webber • t �� � . GARY W.
