Poss, City Manage SUBJECT: McDonald's Restaurant Signery DATE: May 14, 1973 This memorandum is intended to confirm my position which I recently discussed with you regarding the proposed McDonald's Restaurant plans. The subject lighted strips or beams on the roof of the proposed building constitute a roof sign. The question of such lighted decorative roof treatments was resolved earlier in the case of the remodeling of the Burger King Restaurant, and it is not subject to reinterpretation. We have in past years declined to compromise our community principles regarding signery merely because a nationally franchised business is wedded to a nationally uniform sign concept. We will, therefore, accept and process no application for a variance from the sign ordinance in the case of the McDonald's Restaurant lighted beams. It is obvious that the standards for considering and granting a variance in this case are not met, and I have no intention of wasting the applicant's time, the City staff time, and the Planning Commission and City Council time in processing a frivolous variance request.
