The Commission requested the Board to render a recommendation as to what alternatives could be sought by Mr. Ahandonato to meet the intent of the criteria for approval of identification signs. On February 13, 1974 the Board discussed the sign program for the subject site with the appellant and offers the following comments and recommendations: 1. The Board discussed allowing the roof signs and bringing the pole sign down to a monument type. However, Mr. Abandonato indicated that there would be no possible place within Ordinance Code limitations that a monument sign could be safely placed on his frontage. 2. As previously discussed with the Planning Commission, Mr. Abandonato reiterated his need for the roof sign as the view of his pole sign is hindered by overhead utilities along the right-of-way of Beach Boulevard. 3. Mr. Abandonato indicated that he had to keep the square footage of his pole sign down to a bare minimum as the pole had to be high enough to clear the recreational vehicles yet low enough: to miss the overhead utility lines. Thus, he indicated that the smaller, square footage just didn't do the job he anticipated it would. RECOMMENDATIONS: Upon :receipt of additional justification from the appellant it was. the consensus of the Board to recommend to the Planning Commission that the proposed roof sign be approved . It was the majority opinion of the Board not to recommend the pole sign be removed PAGE 2 completely in exchange for the roof sign. However, it was suggested that Mr. Abandonato discuss the onsite problems he felt inherent with the property regarding this particular sign and that the Planning Commission use discretion after considering this information. The Planning Commission further requested information regarding the zoning of the property to the south of the subject site contained within the City of Westminster and how they would apply sign criteria within that particular zone. In conversation with Mr. Frank Schuma, Manning Director of the City of Westminster, he indicated that the property to the south of the subject site is zoned C2-PD ,General Commercial - Planned Developmentl. This zoning classification is similar to our C2 General Business District. The City of Westminster would allow either one pole sign or one roof sign if given a similar situation like Mr. Abandonato's property. The square footage allotment is calculated basically the same as the City of Huntington Beach's i.e., one square foot pereach lineal foot of frontage (max. 2Q0 square feet)..
