The strict compliance with the terms of Article 976 will result in substantial economic hardship to the proponent, based upon the information submitted in his leasing program for the shop- ping center since the opening date of August 19, 1975. 2. The signs proposed, being wall identification signs, will not adversely affect other lawfully erected signs in the same area, as they will not project above the roofline to obstruct view of other signs. 3. The signs applied for will not be detrimental to property lo- cated in the vicinity because, although the City had approved the shopping center under three separate applications, it was always to be treated as an integrated facility with inter - circulation. 4. The architectural character and colors of the signs are in keeping with other signs located on the same property. 5. As the proposed signs are wall signs attached to the rear of the building adjacent to a parking area, they cannot obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic vision.
