AYES: Richardson, Newman, Shomaker, Ortega, Leipzig

ABSENT: Bourguignon
ABSTAIN: None
MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO, 89-4(R)
1. The request to delete a condition of approval to permit an
additional business identification (wall) sign for the E1 Pollo
Loco restaurant will not result in a substantial economic
hardship to the applicant because as permitted through Special
Sign Permit No. 89-4 there are two (2) monument signs permitted
on -site for two disparate uses, i.e. restaurant and automotive
which have been adequately identified through proper signage.
2. The request to delete a condition of approval to permit an
additional business identification (wall) sign for the E1 Pollo
Loco restaurant will adversely affect other signs in the
vicinity since the site currently has a monument sign and
business identification (wall) sign and the unnecessary
duplication of signage does not meet the requirements or intent
of the sign code.
3. The request to delete a condition of approval to permit an
additional business identification (wall) sign for the E1 Pollo
Loco restaurant will be detrimental to property located in the
vicinity and will not be compatible with the surrounding area
because the site is adequately provided with signage and the
unnecessary duplication of signage does not meet the
requirements or intent of the sign code.
4. The request to delete a condition of approval to permit an
additional business identification (wall) sign for the E1 Pollo
Loco restaurant may prove to be a traffic hazard and cause
pedestrian and vehicular conflicts along Beach Boulevard.

FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - PLANNED SIGN PROGRAM NO, 89-3(R)
1. The request to permit a center identification monument sign with
variance to height, sign area, number of tenant panels,
location, delete a condition of approval and amend the planned
sign program does not reflect the requirements of a planned sign
program or the intent of the sign code by the use of excessive
height, sign area, tenant panels, lack of a center
identification, and the unnecessary duplication of signage.
2. The request to permit a center identification monument sign with
variance to height, sign area, number of tenant panels,
location, delete a condition of approval and amend the planned
sign program does not provide signs that will be compatible with
the existing on -site signs or the requirements and intent of a
planned sign program and sign code.
3. The request to permit a center identification monument sign with
variance to height, sign area, number of tenant panels,
location, delete a condition of approval and amend the planned
sign program will not be compatible with signs in the
surrounding commercial vicinity, with recently approved signs
and with the sign criteria as outlined in Planned Sign Program
No. 89-3.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY SHOMAKER, SECOND BY RICHARDSON, TO APPROVE

PC Minutes - 1/23/91 -4- (8889d)
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - SPECIAL SIGN•PERMIT•�NO. 90-10:
1. Strict compliance with Article 961 Signs will not result in a
substantial hardship to the applicant because the two (2)
existing monument signs provide adequate signage for the two
disparate uses on the site, i.e. restaurant and automotive
service and the applicant's proposal for a 12 foot -0 inch
monument sign does not meet the intent of the code with regard
to height, sign area, number of tenant panels and the lack of
center identification.
2. The proposed new 12 foot -0 inch monument sign will adversely
affect other signs in the vicinity since the total sign height
and sign area as proposed greatly exceeds that which is allowed
by code and was analyzed through Special Sign Permit No. 89-4.
3. The proposed 12 foot -0 inch monument sign will be detrimental
to property in the vicinity and will not be compatible with the
surrounding area. The excessive height, sign area, tenant
panels and no center identification does not meet the
requirements or intent of the sign code or recently approved
signs.
4. The proposed 12 foot -0 inch monument sign along Beach Boulevard
will obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic vision. The
excessive height, sign area, tenant panels and close proximity
(125 feet) between the two (2) signs has the potential to
require motorists to slow down to properly see the two (2)
monument signs and tenant panels and, therefore, cause a traffic
and pedestrian conflict along Beach Boulevard.
B-2 REVISED FINAL TRACT 9908 (CONTINUED FROM THE DECEMBER 18, 1990
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING):
APPLICANT: CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
LOCATION: Tract 9908 (North of Slater Avenue, west of
Gothard Street)
This application has been withdrawn per direction from the City
Attorney's Office.
Counsel explained the reason for withdrawal was to further research
the process of Tract Revision. The Commission questioned Counsel as
to a possible continuance rather than a withdrawal. Counsel
explained that the request is more involved than previously thought,
and they are not comfortable with a continuance week after week. It
was explained that this withdrawal will not preclude other residents
in the area from applying for a conditional use permit.
PC Minutes - 1/23/91 -5- (8889d)
B-3 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO 90-63/TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 14448:

spoke in favor of
the
project. Mr. Torsian explained that they were

housing.

the project. Mr. Ewing expressed their desire to create a project

project. Mr. Rasmussan expounded on the visual landscaping and as
buffers.

(8889d)
On October 18, 1988, the Planning Commission approved Conditional
Use Permit No. 88-40, a request to permit a family billiards and
arcade center known as "Rockets and Pockets" located at 19091 Beach
Boulevard, Unit L. Condition No. 12 states that : "Conditional Use
Permit No. 88-40 shall be approved for an initial period of five
years with a six month review from the date of issuance of
Certificate of Occupancy and report to the Planning Commission to
insure compliance with all conditions of approval." (see Attachment
No. 2). Subsequently the Planning Commission has accepted and
approved the six month review (June 20, 1989) and annual review
(January 23, 1990) for the subject site (see Attachment Nos. 3 and
4). The family billiard and arcade was found to be in substantial
compliance with the conditions of approval. The Planning Commission
directed staff to schedule an annual review of the use.
The Commission asked staff if all adjacent property owner's had been
notified. Staff explained that they could not get the information
in a timely manner, but that past experience showed that the
neighbors would have complained if there were any problems. So far
there have been no complaints.

OF TIME:
APPLICANT: SATRA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
LOCATION: 7801 Garfield Avenue (North side, approximately
225 feet west of Florida Street)
The applicant is requesting a one year extension of time for
Conditional Use Permit No. 89-3 in conjunction with Conditional
Exception (Variance) No. 89-5, which was approved by the Planning
Commission on February 22, 1989. The approval of Conditional Use
Permit No. 89-3 permitted the construction of an 8 unit apartment
complex.
PC Minutes - 1/23/91 -16- (8889d)
Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 89-5 will allow the apartment
complex driveway, which exceeds 150 feet in length, to provide a
9 foot by 19 foot car turnaround in lieu of a minimum 40 foot
cul-de-sac or hammerhead turnaround as required by Article
9605(f)(2) of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code.
After approval of the project in 1989, the original property owner
(Magdy Hanna) sold the project to Satra Development Corporation.
Since purchasing the property, Satra Development Corporation
experienced project delays due to locating and properly abandoning
an oil well discovered on the property by the Fire Department. This
unforseen problem forced the applicant to seek refinancing of the
project in order to begin construction. A one year extension of
time was granted by the Planning commission on March 6, 1990.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY ORTEGA, SECOND BY SHOMAKER, TO APPROVE A ONE
YEAR EXTENSION OF TIME FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 89-3/CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 89-5/NEGATIVE
DECLARATION NO. 88-43 BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
