STAFF REPORT
DATE : July 25, 1984
TO : Planning Commission
FROM : Land Use Planning Office
SUBJECT: V-361 - ATLANTIC RICHFIELD - Request for an increase in
allowable price sign area from 16 square feet to 24 square feet for an existing service station located at the northeast corner of El Camino Real and La Costa Avenue.
I. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE
Resolution No. 2329 DENYING V-361 based on the findings contained therein.
11. BACKGROUND AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In November, 1983, the City Council approved a zone code amendment to allow price signs to have a maximum of 16 square feet in area. The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to increase the price sign area from 16 square feet to
24 square feet.
111. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
Can the four necessary findings for a variance be made
which are as follows:
That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same vicinity and zone;
That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied to the property in question;
That the granting of such variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located.
That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan. (Ord. 9060 S1802).

Discussion
Staff feels there are no exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances applicable to this property. The service station is located at a highly visible intersection and a 16 square foot price sign would be easily seen at this location. The applicants feel the increase in signage is necessary for the preservation of
a property right because they desire to post the price of two gasoline products and feel 16 square feet is not adequate enough for this. Staff cannot make the finding that the applicant is being denied a property right enjoyed by others. The other service stations in Carlsbad have complied with the price
sign ordinance and some have been able to price up to three products within the allowable 16 square feet.
Staff also feels that an approval for an increase in the size of
the price sign above ordinance requiremens could set an undesirable precedent as other service stations would have
grounds to get approval of a variance for the same request.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this project is exempt from environmental review, based on Section 19.04.07 of the Zoning Ordinance.
