suggested conditions of approval specifically the 12 foot sign and 80 square
feet and the El Polo Loco sign on the front of the building carried by roll
call vote with the following findings: (The Council vote is on Page 21 . )
Findings for Agproval - S eci 1 Si n Permit No. -1 :
1 . Strict compliance with Article 961 51 n will result in a substantial
hardship to the applicant because the two (2) existing monument signs do
not provide adequate signage for the two disparate uses on the site, i .e.
restaurant and automotive service. The narrow lot width (201 feet) and
great lot depth (442 feet) restrict the automotive business' s to the rear
of the site of adequate street identification. The applicant's proposal
for a 12 foot -0 inch/80 square foot monument sign will provide the
automotive business' s located to the rear of the property with adequate
street visibility along Beach Boulevard.
Uu
Page 20 - Council /Agency Minutes - 3/18/91
2. The proposed new 12 foot -0 inch/80 square foot monument sign will not
adversely affect other signs in the vicinity since the sign height, sign
area and eight (8) tenant panels as proposed will provide each automotive
business on-site with street vi sabi 1 i ty and will be compatible with other
multi tenant signs along Beach Boulevard.
3. The proposed 12 foot -0 inch/80 square foot monument sign will not be
detrimental to property in the vicinity and will be compatible with the
surrounding area. The height, sign area and tenant panels meets the
intent of the sign code by providing street identification for the
automative users located to the rear of the property. .
4. The proposed 12 foot -0 inch/80 square foot monument sign along Beach
Boulevard will not obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic vision. The
height, sign area and tenant panels do not have the potential to require
motorists to slow down to properly see the monument sign and tenant panels.
Findings for Approval - Special Sign Permit NO. 89-4-(
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.
2. The request to delete a condition of approval to permit an additional
business identification (wail) sign for the El Pollo Loco restaurant will
not adversely affect other signs in the vicinity.
3. The request to delete a condition of approval to permit an additional
business identification (wall ) sign for the El Pollo Loco restaurant sign
will not be detrimental to property located in the vicinity and will be
compatible with the surrounding area because the restaurant site is not
adequately provided with signage.
4. The request to delete a condition of approval to permit an additional
business identification (wall ) sign for the El Pollo Loco restaurant will
not be a traffic hazard and cause pedestrian and vehicular conflicts
along Beach Boulevard.
Findings for Approval - Planned Sign Program No. 89-3(R)
1 . The request to amend the planned sign program through Special Sign Permit
No. 90-10 and Special Sign Permit No. 89--40) does reflect the
requirements of a planned sign program and the intent of the sign code.
2. The request to amend the planned sign program through Special Sign Permit
No. 90-10 and Special Sign Permit No. 89-4(R) will provide signs that
will be compatible with the existing on-site signs, the requirements and
intent of a planned sign program and sign code.
3. The request to amend the planned sign program through Special Sign Permit
No. 90-10 and Special Sign Permit No. 89-4(R) will be compatible with
signs in the surrounding commercial vicinity and with the sign criteria

streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmoni-
ous manner, because the setbacks have been increased to adjacent R1
property, the project is primarily 2-story, and the architecture has been
modified to more closely reflect surrounding projects.
2. The access to and parking for the proposed 92 unit condominium/ townhome
complex does not create an undue traffic problem, because the parking
structure has been shown to be safe and efficient and the surrounding
streets have adequate capacity to accommodate the traffic generated.
3. The planned residential development for 92 units does conform to the
provisions contained in Article 915 except for the special permit
requests, which improve the quality of the project (see Special Permit
Findings for Approval ) .
4. The proposed 92 unit project will not be detrimental to the general wel-
fare of persons residing or working in the vicinity; and property and
improvements in the vicinity of such use or building, because the project
is properly buffered from such uses by streets and setbacks, and has been
reduced in scale and density to more closely reflect existing development
in the vicinity.
5. The proposed 92 unit condominium/townhome project will be compatible with
the Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning upon adoption of General
Plan Amendment No. 90-3 and Zone Change 90-3.

4. The requested special permits provide for maximum use of aesthetically
pleasing types of architecture, landscaping, design and building layout,
by allowing for efficient on-site circulation, buffering adjacent land
uses, allowing for a centrally located recreation area, and increasing
building compatibility with surrounding residential development.
5. The requested special permits will not be detrimental to the general
health, welfare, safety and convenience, nor detrimental or injurious to
the value of property or improvements of the neighborhood or of the City
in general . The special permit requests incorporated into the project
design will reduce project impacts to adjacent properties.
