PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL TO APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 73-14 - DENIED
Mayor Matney announced that this was the day and hour set for a public hearing for
the purpose of considering an appeal filed by Councilman, Green to the granting by the
Planning Commission of Conditional Exception No. 73-14, to permit the construction
of a pole sign and a roof sign to a height of 35 feet pursuant to Section 9764.4.4,
and in lieu of Section 9764.3.2 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. Said signs
are proposed to be located on a supermarket site currently under construction to be
located on the south side of Warner Avenue approximately 150 feet west of Goldenwest
Street in the C4 Highway Commercial District.
The Clerk informed Council that all legal requirements for notification, publication
and posting had been met, and that she had received no communications or written
protests to Conditional Exception No. 73-14 or to the recommendation of approval with
conditions of the Planning Commission.
Councilman Green stated that he had filed this appeal as he did not believe a showing
of hardship had been demonstrated and that he seriously questioned the contention of
the applicant that the sign would be a part of the building.
Mayor Matney declared the gearing open.
Mr. Richard Mark, Attorney, 8888 Olympic Blvd., Beverly Hills, representing Federated
Department Stores - Ralph's Market and Heath & Company, addressed Council and presented
a review of the factors involved relative to the issuance of permits by the City for the
sign construction. He stated that the applicant had filed a lawsuit on the theory of
vested rights in Superior Court which is presently pending. He gave reasons why it
was the applicant's contention that the permits were related to the overall construction
of the building. He stated that in an effort to avoid litigation the applicant had
filed for a Conditional Exception and had agreed to reduce the height of the free-
standing sign to 25 feet to meet code requirements, however, it was the contention of
the applicant that the sign for the main structure could not be lowered. He stated
that the hardship to support their theory of vested rights was that the applicant had
acted in reliance on a valid permit in fabricating the sign in the shop and that this
constituted commencement of construction authorized by the permit.
Councilman Green commented that it was his understanding that at the time of the
original permit, the applicant was aware that the sign ordinance was in the process of
being changed and that there was a 60 day time limit whereby a permit is invalid if
work has not commenced, Mr. Mark then stated the reasons why he believed the applicant
had complied with the 60 day time limit provision of the code.
Mr. John Behrens, Director of Building and Community Development, informed Council that
they had been provided with a chart reflecting the sequence of events relative to the
issuance of sign permits and the construction timetable. He presented a review of the
matter and stated that his department did not agree with the applicant's statement that
the permit is the property of the owner, but that it must be issued to a State
Licensed sign contractor. He stated that in November, 1972, his department had
made a foundation inspection, at which time the applicant advised them of -their
intention to relocate the sign pole from inside to outside the building, which was
1

Page #7 - Council Minutes - 5/21/73
conditionally approved based on their subsequent submittal of plans for review and
approval. He stated that the new sign ordinance became effective on December 20,1972,
and the permits issued to the applicant expired on January 5, 1973. He stated that
the applicant had been informed of the permit expiration and that shortly thereafter
they were advised of their opportunity to apply for a Conditional Exception from.
the 25 foot height requirements of the present code. He stated that in response:to
their instituting litigation, his department had visited the site at which.time it
was found that no work had been done on -site that related to the sign. He stated
that shortly thereafter the sign column was installed on the exterior wall of the
building and while it was a part of the contract of the building contractor, it
was in no way integrated to the -building, performed no function, and was strictly
for sign purposes. He stated that the sign column.has now been installed in the
alternate location and is overheight and will have to be shortened before any sign
can be installed that would remain below 35 feet axid the connection of the sign
structure at the roofline is structurally inadequate. He stated that the department
had been unable to determine from the engineer's design that the sign had any
significant effect in sizing the foundation.. Mr. Behrens also stated the reasons
why his department disagreed with the applicant's contention that the signs were
constructed in reliance.upon the issuance of the permits, citing that the plans.
submitted to the Building Department indicated that the sign had already been
fabricated.
Mr. Joe Finkleberg, Heath & Company, agent for Ralph's Grocery Company, addressed
Council and clarified a statement he made to the Planning Commission on this matter.
Mr. Everett Hill, representing Ralph's Grocery Company, 3410 W. 3rd Street,
Los Angeles, addressed Council and stated that he believed the structure of the
column for the sign was a part of the structure and foundation of the building.
There being no one further present to speak on the matter and there being no further
protests filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the Mayor.
The Director of Building and Community Development stated that it was his recom
mondation that the Conditional Exception be denied as no hardship had been shown..
On motion by Green, Council overruled the decision of the Planning Commission and
denied Conditional Exception No. 7.3-14 on the basis that no hardship had been
demonstrated. The motion was passed by the following vote:
AYES: Councilmen: Shipley, Bartlett, Gibbs, Green, Duke, Matney
NOES: Councilmen: None
