CM Hernandez concurred with CM De La Rosa and believes that the Council would be supportive for the betterment of the city. He also made a trip to the proposed project area and evaluated the distance between where the business would be situated in alignment to the freeway and would therefore support the request for variance of a 70' sign as requested by the applicant. CM Suchil inquired as to the traffic impact and street improvements in this area. City Engineer Jakher explained the traffic impact, traffic impact fees, traffic study and economic improvements. In addition City Attorney Derleth clarified that a CEQUA study was completed before the Ashley Furniture business was built. City Attorney Derleth stated that that the City ordinance allows a maximum 50 foot signage and has gotten a variance of 60' with justification. However, there is no information provided in the agenda report and for council to consider as to why a 70' sign would make a difference and suggested we continue the item in order to allow Ashley Furniture representatives time to provide information as to why 70' versus 60' is better. If the applicant is in agreement to provide documentation for the need of 70' sign, Council would need to reopen the Public Hearing. City Attorney Derleth caution it is in the City's best interest that when granting a variance the applicant is responsible for providing supporting information for the additional variance. After additional discussion and comments, motion/second by CM Ramos/De La Rosa to reopen the Public Hearing. Unanimous vote.
