A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DOWNEY, GRANTING ZONE VARIANCE NO. 123.
The City Council of the City of Downey does resolve as
follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council does hereby find and determine
that an application was duly filed by Michael Betor with respect to
the real property described as follows: 8509 Imperial Highway,
Downey, California, requesting a variance to establish and maintain
lighted advertising window signs and to establish an interior
lighted wall sign on the front of the building of approximately
48 square feet; that a public hearing was duly set for June 10,
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 on June 10 and 24, 1980 at the afore-
mentioned 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.
(2) Literal interpretation of the provisions of the ordinance
would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by
other properties in the City under the terms of the Zoning
ordinance.
(3) Special conditions and circumstances do not result
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.
(5) Granting approval of the applicant's request will not
adversely affect the Comprehensive General Plan.
SECTION 2. The City Council further finds and determines that
facts exist as required in Section 9164.18 of the Downey Municipal
Code justifying the granting of a variance.
SECTION 3. Based upon the aforementioned findings, the Council
hereby grants with respect to the property described in Section 1,
above, a variance subject to the following conditions:

and to establish an interior lighted wall sign on the front
of the building of approximately 48 square feet.
