AYES: PALIN, ELLSTROM, LIPPS NOES: NONE ABSENT: NONE MISCELLANEOUS AGENDA ITEMS: SIGN REQUEST Applicant: Heath & Company Request to permit two (2) freestanding signs to identify a shopping center and a Winchell's donut house at the corner of Beach Boulevard and Talbert Avenue. Board review of the signs found them to be in conformance with code requirements. BZA 12-29-76 Page 21 r ! Minutes, H.B. Board of Zoning Adjustments December 29, 1976 Page 22 ON MOTION BY LIPPS AND SECOND BY ELLSTROM THE ABOVE -REFERENCED SIGN REQUEST WAS APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. The subject signs shall comply with all requirements of Article 976 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. AYES: ELLSTROM, LIPPS NOES: PALIN ABSENT: NONE Mr. Palin submitted the following reasons for his "no" vote: 1. The signs are not in keeping with the philosophy of the City when it drafted the new sign ordinance, which encourages the use of monument signs. 2. The proponent for the shopping center has made a site selection for the main identification sign for the center which will block out the view of the secondary pylon sign for the Winchell's donut use. 3. Although the site plan approved by the Board of Zoning Adjust- ments'for the center had one pylon sign at the intersection, .approval for said sign was not included in the approval of the center and should have been located further to the south so that it would not conflict with the signal at the intersection or with signs to the north. 4. The Winchell's donut house is, in fact, the freestanding building at the intersection and it is the use which should be granted the identification signing at that intersection. THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS, THE MEETING WAS -ADJOURNED. ,I a mes W. Palin, Secretary Board of Zoning Adjustments :df BZA 12-29-76 Page 22
