RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST OF COSMOS BELLS,
OWNER/AGENT, FOR A SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO CHAPTER 26 OF
THE CITY CODE ON THE PREMISES KNOWN AS p.J. SKIDOO'S
RESTAURANT, AND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED AS TAX MAP
PARCELS 48-3-((14))-002A.
WHEREAS, Cosmos Bells, owner/agent for P.J. Skidoo's restaurant, has
submitted Application No. SE-185-96-1 requesting a Special Exception to the City
Code as listed below:
Section 26-46(m) - to allow a pylon sign that is otherwise not permitted.
WHEREAS, City Council has determined that the proposed Special
Exception is appropriate, as modified, because the proposal meets the requisites
established by City of Fairfax Code Section 26-48 and Section 26-103(c) for the
following reasons:
1. The special exception will not be inconsistent with the
comprehensive plan or the purpose of the sign ordinance; and,
The location of the existing building (large setback) and parking
areas (no landscape strip available in which the sign may be
located) make ground-mounted and building-mounted signage
ineffective.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Fairfax on this 26th day of November, 1996, that Application No. SE-185-96-1 be
and hereby is APPROVED with the following conditions:
The sign shall not exceed 11 feet in height and shall not exceed 51
square feet in area and shall be installed consistent with all other
design specifications submitted and revised through September 20,
1996.
2. The proposed sign and sign cover shall not extend into or over the
public right-of-way.
3. The parking spaces on either side of the proposed sign shall be
designated as compact car spaces.
