The staff report stated that the Variance application was for a free standing sign on the property line on Valley Avenue at the Safeway Shopping Center. The Zoning PermiC application was for four signs, either including the sign for which the Variance is requested or an alternate. The staff report further stated that all of the signs meet the requirements for area as outlined in the Zoning Ordinance for a C-N District. The staff did question whether the sign for which a Variance was re- quested was really necessary and felt that this could set a precedent for future signs. In addition it was pointed out that provision for a sign post for identi- fication of the center had been made in the site plan. With this in mind, the staff recommended denial of the application. The staff recosm~ended approval of the Zoning Permit for two flat identification signs plus two drive-in window signs. Mr. Don Nelson representing Wells Fargo Bank was present in the audience and stated that his firm felt the free standing sign was essential.
