G&M Oil # 124
17472 Beach Blvd. @ Slater
Huntington Beach , California
Sign Code Exception No. 04-02 for 7' - 6 '/2" high monument sign is compatible with
the character of the area and is needed for special circumstances defined by the
applicant and approved by the Planning Director.
The site previously had a freestanding pole sign, which we were willing to take down to
come into compliance, but State Law requires us to provide price signs at a certain
height. That, along with the requirements by the City of Huntington Beach makes it
impossible to meet City code height requirements and still meet state law requirements.
Other businesses do not have the same sign requirements mandated for fuel pricing signs,
which therefore created special circumstances for this location.
The proposed signage will not adversely affect other signs in the area because there
are not other service stations located at this intersection; they are all commercial
businesses with signs that are larger than the sign we are requesting. The sign will be in
keeping with what has been approved for that area, more specifically the Walgreen's and
Del Taco.
The proposed signage will not be detrimental to properties located in the vicinity.
The sign will be located within a planter area to protect the sign and the site is not
located within a residential area, and the sign is similar in height and area to the
adjacent surrounding businesses
The proposed signage will not obstruct vehicular or pedestrian traffic visibility and
will not be a hazardous distraction.
The proposed sign will be located away from the intersection as far into the planter area
as possible , and will still provide visibility to vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The sign is
unobtrusive and is not overly large, so it will not be a hazardous distraction more so than
any other sign along Beach Blvd.

No, the laws are the same, but we order the signs from Chevron and all of our Chevron stations have diesel
fuel, so we have four grades of gas to post, unlike most Chevron owned and operated stations, they have
only three products. My sign could fit at 7'- 0" if I didn't have to do the cap at the top (as required by
Design Review) and make enough space for the address at the bottom. That's why I'm saying I 'm stuck
between the State and the City.

Andrea - Thanks for your response. I'm still unclear about the State Law requirement because we have
relatively new service stations that comply with the 7 foot height limit Was there a recent change to State
Law that is forcing any new service station monument sign to exceed our code?

Andrea -
1. Please add the dimensions of the triangles (25' x 25' and 10' x 10') just like I showed
on the fax I sent you.
2. Include the address on the base with 6 inch numerals.
3. As noted on the cover of the fax I sent you Friday, please add the dimensions of the
sign cabinet on the plan so that we can verify the face area calculations you have on plan
(max 50 sf).
4. Include a copy of the Notice of Action with the plans.
5. As required by the DRB and PSP approval, please note the color of the stucco columns
and cornice cap (Havana Cream?) as well as the slate tile base to match that on the
building.
6. Note the monument sign height from adjacent sidewalk or curb to highest point of sign.
7. I noticed that on the colored monument sign elevation that was processed by Paul and
approved by the DRB and Planning Director, it says "24 Hours" under the Chevron Hallmark.
The plans you submitted for the SCE say "Food Mart". Please change that back to "24
Hours" as a food mart is not permitted w/o a CUP.
What time are you coming tomorrow? I'll be the back up at the counter in the afternoon
and can help you then but if you want to come in the morning I can try and fill in the
planner working at the counter in the morning.
