tenant; and
WHEREAS, City Council has carefully considered the application, the
recommendation from Staff, and testimony received at the public hearing; and

requisites established by City of Fairfax Code Sections 110-185 and 110-366 for the
following reasons:
1) The applicant has demonstrated that the sign requirements contained in Section 110-
180(b)(2)a 2ii will present a unique burden due to the bank entrance not fronting on a
public street, and off-site buildings blocking views;

goals and policies;
3) The request is in harmony with the purpose of the sign article set forth in Section 110-
176 of the City Code and the purposes of zoning ordinances set forth in Code of
Virginia 15.2-2283; and
4) The request will not adversely impact adjacent property or the surrounding area.
