DOWNEY, GRANTING ZONE VARIANCE NO. 93.
The City Council of the City of Downey does resolve as
follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council does hereby find and deter-
mine that an application was duly filed by Dorothy M.
Tatti with respect to the real property described as
follows: 9262 Firestone Boulevard, Downey, California,
requesting a variance to establish and maintain a 36'
high, 172 square foot interior lighted double -faced
pole sign; that a public hearing was duly set for
March 11, 1980 at 7:30 p.m., in the Council Chamber of
the Downey City Hall, 8425 East Second Street, Downey,
California, and a notice of the date, time, place and
purpose of aforesaid hearing was duly given; that a
hearing was duly held at the aforementioned time and
place, studies and investigation made by the Council
and in its behalf, reveal the following facts:
(1) Special conditions and circumstances exist which
are peculiar to the land involved which are not generally
applicable to other lands in the same vicinity and zone.

ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly
enjoyed by other properties in the City under the terms
of the Zoning Ordinance.

from actions of the applicant.
(4) Approval of the variance will not confer a special
privilege that is denied by the Zoning Ordinance to
other lands.

not adversely affect the Comprehensive General Plan.

that facts exist as required in Section 9164.18 of the
