City Clerk Kim Smith,
Subj: Appeal of Planning Commission Approval of Application 11-ASA-94
I wish to appeal the Planning Commission approval of application 11-ASA-94 . This
application by San Pedro Electric Sign Co./Yoshinoya Beef Bowl requested an exception
to exceed the allowable height of a wall sign.
The reason given for approving the application was that the small print on the sign would
be illegible is the sign were reduced to the allowable height. I feel that allowing the
legibility of the smallest print on a sign to be the basis for an exception is not adequate
cause for an exception. Such a ruling sets a precedent that would weaken our sign
• ordinance. I also feel that illegibility of the small type on this sign would not present a
safety hazard. I believe the Council should review this application.
