ENV R NSTATUS-. Categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15315, Class 15 of the California Environmental Quality Act COASTAL STATUS: Not Applicable The City Clerk presented a staff report prepared by the Planning Director. Legal notice as provided to the City Clerk's Office by staff had been mailed, published and posted. The City Clerk stated she had received a communication dated November 10, 1993 from Robert Riedesell, President of Meredith Gardens Homeowners Association in opposition to the approval of Special Sign Permit No. 93-9. The Planning Director presented a verbal report and showed slides of the area. The Mayor declared the public hearing open. Ed rin , President of the Meredith Gardens Homeowners Association, stated the association's concerns regarding the economic growth of business at Brookhurst Street and Adams Avenue and the enforcement of city codes. He reminded Council the special sign program was adopted to improve signage of commercial areas and reduce visual blight, not to be used as a means to cir- cumvent the provisions of the sign code. He requested Council to uphold ordinances and over rule the Planning Commission's approval of Special Sign Permit 93-9. Davy Bartlett, Land Use and Planning Consultant, representing Rally's Southern California Res- taurant Enterprises, gave a slide presentation of the proposed Rally's sign and slides of other signs in the area. He requested Council to sustain the Planning Commission's approval of Special Sign Permit No. 93-9. Jim Hirks warned Council that should the changeable sign change while a driver is passing through the intersection it could be a definite safety hazard. 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. Councilmember Sullivan stated the main reason he appealed the Planning Commission's approval of Special Sign Permit No. 93-9 was that he believed a changeable copy sign was not appropriate for the area and he did not believe a case had been made that an economic hardship existed and warranted the special sign permit. Following discussion, a motion was made by Sullivan, seconded by Bauer, to grant the appeal and deny Special Sign Permit No. 93-9 with findings in Attachment No. 7 of the RCA dated November 15, 1993. Following discussion, a substitute motion was made by Sullivan, seconded by Bauer, to modify the Planning Commission's approval of Special Sign Permit No. 93-9 by reducing the sign height to seven feet high, the sign not to exceed 30 square feet, with no changeable copy and a land- scaped planter area. The motion failed by the following roll call vote: 157 Page 6 City Council/Redevelopment Agency Minutes - 11/15/93 AYES: Bauer, Winchell, Sullivan NOES: Robitaille, Moulton -Patterson, Silva, Leipzig ABSENT: None A motion was made by Leipzig, seconded by Moulton -Patterson, to modify the Planning Commis- sion's approval of Special Sign Permit No. 93-9 by reducing the square signage from 57 to 36 square feet, with no changeable copy, with the following findings and conditions. Strict compliance with Article 961 will result in substantial economic hardship to the applicant because the 12 foot high, 36 square foot monument sign is necessary for identification of the site. The proposed drive4hru restaurant is dependent on impulse decisions and will benefit from a freestanding pole sign. 2. There are unusual site or building characteristics that preclude Rally-s Hamburgers from yielding adequate signage from the provisions of the sign code. The proposed restaurant building is under 900 square feet in size and is setback over 50 feet from both streets, requiring the site have both wall and a freestanding sign for adequate exposure. 3. Due to the fact that there are special site or building conditions applicable to the site, approval of additional signage for a 12 foot high, 36 square foot freestanding sign is necessary to enjoy sign provisions enjoyed by surrounding properties. 4. The proposed 12 foot high, 36 square foot freestanding sign will not adversely affect other signs in the area, nor will the sign obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic vision. The sign will comply with the minimum site angle requirement for signs within the landscape planter. 5. Additional signage for this site would not constitute an aesthetic impact to the site and surrounding properties. The proposed sign will be compatible with signage in the surrounding area. .,. i3O _ alb, '- a •x � The site plan and site elevations received and dated July 19, 1993 shall be the approved layout with the following modifications; a. Maximum height of the freestanding sign shall be 12 feet- b. Maximum area of the Rally's primary sign shall be 36 square foot sign; with Qg changeable copy- C . A planter box shall be provided at the base of the sign. 2. Prior to issuance of building permits, a copy of revised plans depicting the modifications pursuant to Condition No. 1 shall be submitted to the Community Development Department for the file.

He stated that only residents of Rhone Lane were represented and that they were not advised or asked for their opinion.

He stated the various factors the Traffic Commission had failed to consider. He stated the children at Sun View School would be placed at greater risk. liff LaqW stated he was in favor of the proposed barricade on Rhone Lane. He reminded Coun- cil the barricade was temporary and collapsible so emergency vehicles could pass through it into the tract. He stated he did not believe stop signs were the answer as there was one at Rhone Lane and Nancy and cars sailed right through it.

Terry T resin stated he was some what in favor of the barricade, but not at Rhone Lane, rather suggested it be installed at Amazon on Sher Lane. He suggested that if a barricade was not installed then stop signs be installed through out the tract. Thomas Doney stated he was in favor of a barricade somewhere and reminded Council it was to be installed for a trial period of sixty days. He requested Council ask the Traffic Engineer for the number of vehicles counted on Rhone Lane and to compare that number with the number of vehi- cles using an average tract street. 160 Page 9 City CounciVRedevelopment Agency Minutes - 11/15/93 Della Chadwell, Manager of the Huntington Beach Mall, stated that if the barricade slowed emer- gency vehicles response time she would oppose it.

She suggested a left turn signal on Heil and stop signs first prior to a barrier. JeLQmg Firzhgr stated he was opposed to a barricade and that he believed stop signs would help. He stated his concern for paramedic response. He stated a left turn at Heil would solve 50% of the problem. Ro in Ravize stated she began the process of notifying the city there was a traffic problem on Rhone Lane. She stated the tract should be looked at as a whole and whatever stringent mea- sures were needed to control the traffic they should be taken such as a raised median on Sher Lane, north of Rhone to stop all incoming traffic. She urged Council to hold their decision in abeyance and return the matter to the Transportation Commission for further consideration. Olivia Chambers stated she opposed the barricade and suggested speed bumps be installed. She stated she believed it had been forgotten that the Pavilion Mall had made a great traffic impact, there are two new traffic lights there and missing is a left turn lane off of Heil onto Beach Boulevard.

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. The Traffic Engineer reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of three types of traffic control devices usually used in residential neighborhoods to slow down traffic: stops signs, raised pave- ment "rumble" markers, and speed bumps. Discussion was held between Council and staff regarding the installation of stop signs at various locations within the tract. A motion was made by Bauer, seconded by Leipzig, to return the issue of the proposed barricade on Rhone Lane to the Transportation Commission for further analysis and input from the commun- ity and return to Council with alternatives; staff to advertise the Transportation Commission meet- ing.
