RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 16607 AND DENYING THE
APPEAL AND APPROVING THE FREESTANDING SIGN HEIGHT AND
COPY AREA RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND
DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE TO IDENTIFY THE BUSINESS
ESTABLISHMENT LOCATED AT 830 BROADWAY
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the project is exempt from environmental review as a Class 11(a)
exemption; and,
WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee, at their September 9, 1991, regular
meeting considered the installation of a 35 foot high, 99 square feet
freestanding pole sign for the property located at 830 Broadway; and,
WHEREAS, in reviewing the sign design criteria established in the Zoning
Ordinance, the Design Review Committee determined that the proposed sign was not
in keeping with their prior actions to promote lower-profile, less obstrusive
signage along Broadway and other major commercial corridors, nor with the average
sign height and area of other freestanding pole signs in the immediate commercial
vicinity; and,
WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee approved the conceptual freestanding
sign design subject to a reduction in sign area from 99 to 75 square feet and
height from 35 feet to 26 feet; and,
WHEREAS, on September 9, 1991, an appeal was filed by Pacific Sign
Construction Company for Firestone Real Estate which requested that the
conditions imposed by the Design Review Committee requiring the above mentioned
modifications be deleted; and,
WHEREAS, on October 9, 1991, the Planning Commission denied said appeal
based on the following findings, but approved the scaled down version recommended
by the Design Review Committee.
A. Signs should be designed as supportive elements to land use.
The existing wall signage in conjunction with the more moderately
designed, in terms of sign height and signage area, pole sign will
provide adequate identification for the facility.
B. Signs should be compatible with the nature, character, and design of
the locale and land uses they serve.
The signs under construction, as proposed, would be significantly
higher than any other sign in the immediate area.

WHEREAS, on April 28, 1992, the City Council held a scheduled public
hearing and voted 4-0-1 to uphold the Planning Commission's decision and deny the
applicant's appeal; and
WHEREAS, in reviewing the records the following day, it was determined that
the owners of the property, i.e., the Firestone Company, received notification
of the hearing, however, Pacific Sign Construction, who was representing the
appellant in this case, failed to receive notice of the public hearing, due to
an administrative error; and
WHEREAS, on May 5, 1992, Council, by unanimous vote, rescinded action on
DRC 92-04 taken by Resolution No. 16607 and rescheduled a public hearing to
reconsider this matter on June 2, 1992.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL confirms their
previous rescission of Resolution No. 16607 and concurs with the findings of the
Design Review Committee and Planning Commission as set forth in Resolution DRC-
92-04 and hereby denies the appeal.
