A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DOWNEY, GRANTING ZONE VARIANCE NO. 200.
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 Republic Development Company,
with respect to the real property described as follows: 9550
Firestone Boulevard; requesting a Variance permitting two real
estate signs 8' x 16' each, that a public hearing was duly set
for February 23, 1982 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 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.

Council hereby grants with respect to the property described in
Section 1, above, a variance subject to the following conditions:

8' x 16' each (128 sq.ft.) to be located at 9550

time period beginning March 9, 1982 and ends March 9,
1983. After the one -year time period said signs shall
