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

Following discussion, a motion was made by Winchell, seconded by Green, to n-Qt
change the ordinance code to allow readerboard signs, with the following find—
ings:
Findings for Denial:
1. Since the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, Section 961 (Sign Code) allows
adequate opportunities for advertising through various types of signage,
Code Amendment No. 87-15 to allow electronic reader board signs is not
necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
rights.
2. Electronic reader board signs, if permitted by Code Amendment 87-15, will
be incompatible with surrounding existing and proposed developments,
especially residential land uses.
3. Electronic reader board signs, if permitted by Code Amendment No. 87-15,
will have the potential of creating a congestion and circulation hazard
to passing motorists.
The motion failed by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Green, Finley, Winchell
NOES: Kelly, Erskine, Mays
ABSENT: (Bannister out of the room)

prevailed. The previous action of the Planning Commission was to deny Code
Amendment No. 87-15.
