Code Amendment No. 87-15 which would amend Article 961 (Sign Code) of the
Huntington Beach Ordinance Code to allow electronic reader boards.
Scott Hess, Associate Planner, presented a staff report.
Kent Pierce, representing the Planning Commission Sub -Committee, appointed to
explore the possibility of the Code Amendment, reviewed their findings. He
stated he believed the proposed Code Amendment would result in the clean-up of
existing signs on Beach Boulevard. He recommended various conditions to be
placed on electronic readerboards, that such signs be limited to certain
arterial streets and that the present code be strongly enforced.
Rick Evans, Vice President of Huntington Jeep Eagle, described the competition
between automobile dealers and described auto malls in other cities. He
stated that his company is civic minded and mentioned youth organizations and
community events which the company sponsors. He stated the company would
pledge ten per cent of the message time for service messages, possibly emer-
gency road information, at the discretion of the City Council.
Rod Wilson, representing Electra Media, stated that Wilson Ford and the AMC
Company contracted with Electra Media to buy an electronic sign to compete
with the competition of other automobile dealers in neighboring cities that
have electronic signs. He stated that he had distributed to Council a fact
sheet report addressing Planning Commission and staff's concerns. He reviewed
the fact sheet and showed Council a lamp cylinder and explained that its func-
tion was to mitigate glare and halo effect from the sign. He showed Council a
shade screen that would cut down on glare and spillage. He stated that the
display contained a photo cell and would dim automatically at night.
Roy Moosa and Eric Weber stated their opposition to proposed code amendment
87-15.

BEACH DECLARING THAT THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY REQUIRE ACQUISITION OF
CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES, AND
AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF SUCH PROPERTY BY EMINENT DOMAIN." (Property
located on Olive between 5th and Main)
The Deputy City Clerk announced that all legal requirements for notification,
and posting had been met, and that she had received a communication from Jim
Koller regarding the matter.
The City Administrator presented a staff report.
Doug LaBelle, Deputy City Administrator, Community Development, stated for the
record: "The matter before the City this evening in the five actions for your
consideration, five separate administrative hearings, are city hearings on
resolutions of necessity relative to the acquisition of property for parking
facilities to be constructed in the second and third blocks of Main Street.
The hearing this evening is for the owners of the real property in question
only. Not a part of the consideration this evening is the question of compen-
sation since that subject is for the courts to ultimately decide at a later
date -should you adopt the resolutions of necessity. The noticed hearings
relate to the issues of the public interest and necessity, the greatest public
good and least private injury and the necessity for the proposed project in
question.
"I have some general comments that I would like to make relative to the matter
that wi11 apply to the five separate hearings that will be conducted follow-
ing this. The five acquisitions in question are needed for parking to be pro-
vided in the downtown area public parking. For public facilities to be con-
structed both in the second block of Main Street, bounded by Main, Third,
Walnut and Olive; and in the third block of Main Street bounded by Main,
Orange, Olive and 5th Street. In terms of the parking, in our analysis, the
areas selected provide for a natural progression of parking in areas where
surface parking presently exists. Clearly the need is there and the least
Impact will be suffered as a part of the acquisition of these properties."
The Mayor opened the public hearing and stated that the law requires that only
owners or their designated representatives, i.e. an attorney or other agent of
1
Page 5 - Council/Agency Minutes - 3/28/88
the real property in question may testify during the public hearing. He
informed Council they were not to consider compensation since that subject is
for the court, at a later date, to decide. The noticed hearings relate solely,
to the issues of: the public interest and necessity; the greatest public good
and least private injury; necessity for the proposed project; and the public
use for which the property is to be taken which is a parking facility. He
stated there had been questions raised regarding Redevelopment Agency Resolu-
tion No. 48 pertaining to acquisition of property by the Agency by eminent
domain. The Mayor clarified that Agency Resolution No. 48 did not apply to a
City eminent domain proceeding.
Jim_ k111er stated that tonight was the first time he had been informed of the
reasons the city was taking his property. He stated he did not believe that
all the requirements pertaining to eminent domain proceedings had been met by
the city. He stated he believed the parking structure could could be built on
a city owned lot bounded by 6th Street, Main Street and Orange Avenue. He
stated that if a parking structure must be built on his property he wanted to
be part of it.
There being no one present to speak further on the matter and there being no
further protests filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the
Mayor.
A motion was made by Kelly, seconded by bays, to adopt Resolution No. 5860
pertaining to Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8, Block 304 of the Huntington Beach

The Mayor called a recess of Council/Agency at 9:12 p.m The meeting was

The Mayor announced that this was the day and hour setfor a public hearing.to
consider Resolution No. 5861 - "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON
BEACH DECLARING THAT THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY REQUIRE ACQUISITION OF
CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES, AND
AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF SUCH PROPERTY BY EMINENT DOMAIN." The Mayor

Page 6 - Council/Agency Minutes - 3/28/88
The Deputy City Administrator/Community Development stated that this is a city
action in this case, as in the outer four cases, we have analyzed other alter-
natives in terms of parking facilities within the downtown area, we have
analyzed both as a part of the Parsons, Brinkeroff, Quade and Douglas study,
the 3DI study and as a part of implementing our overall downtown plan for
revitalization. We have looked at other alternative locations and believe
that the greatest public good and the least private injury occurs as a result
of locating parking in this location.
The specific as it relates to this parcel: It is currently a single family
residence. It is tenant -occupied and it is income property for the owner.
The City currently has, or is acquiring, major holdings within the block,
again, as a part of providing parking facilities in the second block. A
strong point for the selection of this site over other alternatives is its
close proximity to the Main Street retail core and the ability to provide the
visitor serving public parking both to the beach area as well as the interior
core. It is significant to note that a significant portion of the total pro-
ject site is currently devoted to parking uses both as it relates to the Main
Street core area and as it relates to uses along the 5th Street area. Again,
it is free of surface oil encumbrances. It is adjacent to a vacant site to
the north and is also adjacent to a site to the south that we are currently in
the process or have been acquired on a willing seller basis by the City. Pro-
ceeding ahead with the Resolution of Necessity on this item would, again, be
in the greatest public good with the least private injury and staff would
recommend favorable consideration by the City of the Resolution of Necessity.
The Mayor opened the public hearing and stated that the law requires that only
owners or their designated representatives, i.e. an attorney or other agent of
the real property in question may testify during the public hearing. He
informed Council they were not to consider compensation since that subject is
for the court, at a later date, to decide. The noticed hearings relate solely
to the issues of: the public interest and necessity; the greatest public good
and least private injury; necessity for the proposed project; and the public
use for which the property is to be taken which is a parking facility.
There being no one present to speak on the matter and there being no protests
filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the Mayor.
A motion was made by Kelly, seconded by Green, to adopt Resolution No. 5861
pertaining to Lot 23, Block 203 of the Huntington Beach Tract, Assessor Parcel
No. 024-148-19. The motion carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Kelly, Green, Finley, Erskine, Mays, Winchell, Bannister
NOES: None

CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES,
AND AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF SUCH PROPERTY BY EMINENT DOMAIN.a (Fifth
Street between Orange and Olive Avenues)
The Deputy City Clerk announced that all legal requirements for notification,
publication and posting had been met, and that she had received a communica-
tion from Jim Koller regarding the matter.
The Deputy City Administrator/Community Development stated that this site is
located within the third block. It is a part of an area designated for a
parking facility. The site in question is partially vacant. It does have a
single tenant and one owner/business occupant, so its two tenants in the
structure. The City currently has major holdings in this block that are pre-
sently being utilized for, parking purposes. Again as an alternative parking
location its in close proximity to the Main Street retail core area and pro-
vides needed parking for the interior Town Square area, as well as the Main
Street retail core. It is free of surface encumbrances such as oil. It is
adjacent on the north and south to property currently owned by the City of
Huntington Beach. The selection of this location in terms of parking facility
site in our analysis provides for the greatest public good and the least pri-
vate injury. In selecting this site previously the city did analyze a number
of alternative locations within the downtown core area; either because of
their location to other uses or because of the uses on the site they were not
selected and it was the City's action to proceed forward with this location
for a parking facility to be located within the downtown core area.
The Mayor declared the hearing open and stated that the law requires that only
owners or their designated representatives, i.e. an attorney or other agent of
the real property in question may testify during the public hearing: He
informed Council they were not to consider compensation since that subject is
for the court, at a later date, to decide. The noticed hearings relate solely
to the issues of: the public interest and necessity; the greatest.public good
and least private injury; necessity for the proposed project; and the public
use for which the property is to be taken which is a parking facility.
There being no one present to speak on the matter and there being no protests
filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the Mayor.
A motion was made by Kelly, seconded by Erskine, to adopt Resolution No.
5862 pertaining to Lots 12 and 14, Block 304 of the Huntington Beach Tract,

.;, MPIO
Page 8 - Council/Agency Minutes - 3/28/88

south of Olive Avenue, east of Third Street)
The City Clerk announced that all lega3-' requirements for notification, publi-
cation and posting had been met, and that she had received a communication
from Mr. Dennis Nicole.
The Deputy City Administrator/Community Development stated that this site is
located in the second block; it would be a part of the second block parking
structure facility. The site in question is vacant and is currently being
used for surface parking. The City currently has, or is acquiring, major
holdings within the block to facilitate our parking efforts in the downtown
area. Once again, as in the case of the other parcels, there is close proxi-
mity to the Main Street retail core as well as the visitor serving beach
area. This is an ideal location for a parking facility to meet the complying
needs of the downtown core area. A significant portion of the total project
site is currently devoted to parking uses. This site is free of surface oil
encumbrances and again its adjacent to a single family residence to the
south. All other properties in the project site are currently being required
by the City on a willing seller basis other than the facility to the south.
Again, as previously stated, in analyzing and selecting this site we have
looked at other alternative parking locations within the downtown area and
selection of this site provides for the greatest public good and least private
injury in terms of the acquisition by the City.
The Mayor declared the hearing open and stated that the law requires that only
owners or their designated representatives, i.e. an attorney or other agent of
the real property in question may testify during the public hearing. He
.informed Council they were not to consider compensation since that subject is
for the court, at a later date, to decide. The noticed hearings relate solely
to the issues of: the public interest and necessity; the greatest public good
and least private injury; necessity for the proposed project; and the public
use for which the property is to be taken which is a parking facility.
Dennis Nicole stated he objected to the eminent domain proceedings to acquire
his property. He stated he would rather trade his property.
There being no one present to speak further on the matter and there being no
further protests filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the
Mayor.
A motion was made by Kelly, seconded by Mays, to adopt Resolution No. 5863
pertaining to Lots 25 and 27, Block 203 of the Huntington Beach Tract, Asses-
sor Parcel No. 024-148-12. The motion carried by the following roll call vote;
AYES: Kelly, Green, Finley, Erskine, Mays, Winchell, Bannister
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
The Mayor clarified, with Mr. LaBelle, that the action taken by Council did
not preclude continued negotiations regarding a trade.

The Mayor announced that this was the day and hour set for a public hearing to
consider Resolution No. 5864 - "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON
BEACH DECLARING THAT THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY REQUIRE ACQUISITION OF
CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES, AND
AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF SUCH PROPERTY BY OUNENT DCB111IN." (Corner

The Deputy City Clerk announced that all legal requirements for notification,
publication and posting had been met, and that she had received no communica-
tions or written protests to the matter.
The Mayor declared the hearing open and stated that the law requires that only
owners or their designated representatives, i.e. an attorney or other agent of

informed Council they were not to consider compensation since that subject is
for the court, at a later date, to decide. The noticed hearings relate solely
to the issues of: the public interest and necessity; the greatest public good
and least private injury; necessity for the proposed project; and the public
use for which the property is to be taken which is a parking facility.
Mr. LaBelle stated that his previous comments on the other hearing items would
apply for the record in terms of the general overview I provided. We have
analyzed a number of alternative sites in this case as well. We have looked
at areas interior and on the periphery to the downtown core area. As previ-
ously mentioned, the Civic Center site and other locations were evaluated as a
part of our selection of these sites through the Parsons, Brinkeroff, Quade
and Douglas study, the 3DI study and those sites were rejected for a variety
of reasons related to proximity to other land uses that parking would not be
compatible with, holdings in the area, the difficulty in terms of impact on
other private properties in terms of owner -occupied, tenant -occupied and
developed sites and those in part led to the selection of the two locations in
the downtown core area. This site, again, is in close proximity to the Main
Street retail core and would provide the best possible parking location for
that: downtown core area. The site in question is a single family residence
that is tenant occupied and 1t is income property for the owner. The City
currently has major holdings in the block and a major portion of that block.
The block is currently utilized for surface parking purposes. This particular
site is free of surface encumbrances such as oil and our analysis is that the
construction of the public parking facility in this location would meet the
greatest public good and least private injury through its incorporation into
our parking plans for the downtown core area.
There being no one present to speak on the matter and there being no protests
filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the Mayor.
