B-1 CODE AMENDMENT NO. 93-8:
APPLICANT: City of Huntington Beach, 2000 Main Street,
Huntington Beach, CA 92648
LOCATION: Inland side of Pacific Coast Highway between Beach
Boulevard and the Santa Ana River.
The City Council on June 21, 1993, directed staff to process a zone
change for the "White Hole" area to bring zoning into conformance
with the adopted land use plan and to complete certification of the
City's Local Coastal Program. Ordinance No. 3033 was approved in
1990 which established new zoning on the subject property. That
ordinance remains in effect, but is subject to certification by the
California Coastal Commission.
Code Amendment No. 93-8 is to amend Article 942, Coastal
Conservation, and Article 969.9, Coastal Zone of the Huntington
Beach Ordinance Code in order to achieve consistency with the
adopted land use plan and to complete certification of the City's
Local Coastal Program. The amendment includes clean-up language,
and will require a conceptual development plan, environmental
studies and restrictions on seven (7) parcels at the northeast
corner of Beach Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway should any
portion be proposed for development.
The Planning Commission's recommendation will be forwarded to the
City Council for action. If adopted by the City Council, Code
Amendment No. 93-8 along with Ordinance No. 3033 will be submitted
to the California Coastal Commission for certification.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is still evaluating the details of the proposed Ordinance and
is recommending a continuance to the December 7, 1993 Planning
Commission meeting.

B-2 CODE AMENDMENT NO. 93-5/NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 93-20:
APPLICANT: Department of Community Services, City of
Huntington Beach, 2000 Main Street, Huntington
Beach, CA 93648
LOCATION: Commercial Zones City -Wide
Code Amendment No. 93-5 in conjunction with Negative Declaration
No. 93-20, is a request to amend the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code
to establish provisions to allow and regulate outdoor uses, i.e.,
carts, kiosks, and sidewalk cafes on public and private property.
The provisions will be added to Article 973, Miscellaneous
Provisions, and will amend Article 922, Commercial Districts, and
Article 924, Visitor Serving Commercial, to refer the reader to
Section 9730.88 of Article 973.
PC Minutes - 11/16/94 -2- (7536d)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the request
because the code amendment will establish provisions to regulate
outdoor uses on public and private property in the commercial areas
of the City. The concept was approved by the City Council in July
1992 with direction to staff to formulate a code amendment for
adoption. The provisions will provide additional commercial
opportunities in the City and will be directed toward the pedestrian
consumer.
Discussion ensued regarding which businesses would be grandfathered
in and which must come into compliance. Staff explained that all
currently approved outdoor dining would be grandfathered with the
exception of Amy's the Cappucino and Hot Dog carts. The Commission
also discussed their concern regarding certain businesses that
should be grandfathered in that do not have current approval for
outdoor dining. There was discussion regarding dividing the
ordinance into two (2) sections; outdoor dining and carts and kiosks.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Dianne Easterling, 203 - 8th Street, representing Downtown Residents
Homeowners' Association, stated she would like to see the wording
tightened up to allow Code Enforcement to properly enforce. She
also stated she was against Zoning Administrator approval of such
entitlements, and would prefer that it be the Planning Commission.
Vi Cowden, 124 - 16th Street, representing Downtown Residents
Homeowners' Association, read into the record the addition and
deletion requests to the ordinance.
Scott Cowden, 124 - 16th Street, representing Downtown Residents

the ordinance into the record.

concurred with staff's assessment that sidewalk dining reduces
parking needs.
Mike Abdelmuti, 101 Main Street, downtown property owner, stated
that outdoor dining was an asset to downtown Huntington Beach. He

his prospective tenants would be nullifying leases.
PC Minutes - 11/16/94 -3- (7536d)

concern that carts and kiosks in the downtown area would be in

opposition to the request. His major concern was charging parking
fees for outdoor dining.

owner, stated opposition to charging parking in -lieu fees for
outdoor dining. He said this would adversely impact merchants and
the cost will cause businesses to withdraw there requests for
outdoor dining.
Dennis Chapman, 9842 Cornerbrook Drive, stated his concern that the
in -lieu parking fees included in the ordinance will cause downtown
merchants financial burden, which in turn will be passed on to the
consumer.
Jinx Varona, 309-5th Street, spoke in opposition to the ordinance as
it is written.
Bill Winn, 8141 Terry, manager Pierside Pavilion, spoke in
opposition to the proposed in -lieu parking fees for outdoor dining.
He feels that the ordinance as written is too stringent.
Matt Williams, Sugar Shack Cafe, spoke in opposition to the proposed
ordinance. Mr. Williams also stated that the existing businesses
with outdoor dining should be grandfathered in, if this ordinance
was to receive approval.
Bob Winchell, 6411 Weber Circle, submitted a letter to the
Commission from Huntington Beach Tomorrow expressing their concerns.
Barry Ellerbrook, 19800 Beach Boulevard, spoke in opposition to the
proposed ordinance.
Dave Karina, 1903 Florida, spoke in opposition to the proposed
ordinance.
George Arnold, spoke in opposition to the proposed ordinance.
Christina L. Glasgow, 113 Main Street, stated her concern with the
in -lieu parking fees being proposed in the ordinance and what the
determining criteria would be for the fee.

in -lieu parking fee for outdoor dining.

After Commission discussion the Planning Commission stated their
desire to continue the proposed ordinance in order to form a
sub -committee to discuss the possibility of dividing the ordinance
into two sections. One section would be for carts and kiosks and
the other would be for outdoor dining. The Chairperson appointed
Commissioners Newman, Gorman and Inglee to the committee. The
Commission also requested staff to further clarify the process for
approval by the Zoning Administrator or Planning Commission, the use
of alcoholic beverages on public property, parking/in-lieu fees for
outdoor dining and specifically who the ordinance would apply to.

B-5 SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO. 93-12:
APPLICANT: Mark Frank, 701 Lakme Avenue, Wilmington, CA 90744
LOCATION: 7088 Edinger Avenue (Nationwide Travel)
Special Sign Permit No. 93-12 is a request to install a six foot (61)
high, 40 square foot freestanding monument sign identifying Nationwide
Travel Center at 7088 Edinger Avenue. The special sign permit request
is to exceed the maximum number of freestanding signs for the center,
and to have the proposed sign within 85 feet of another freestanding
sign, in lieu of the minimum 200 foot separation.
PC Minutes - 11/16/94 -8- (7536d)
The two (2) major tenants in the existing.commercial center (Toys-R-Us
and Lucky Store) identify the center with two (2) center
identification signs, a 15 foot high pylon sign located off Edinger
Avenue, and a seven (7) foot monument sign off Goldenwest Street. In
addition, there are six (6) other freestanding signs within the center
that identify businesses with their own building pad.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Because the commercial shopping center is presently identified by the
Toys-R-Us/Lucky Store center identification signs off Goldenwest and
Edinger, staff is recommending the Planning Commission deny the
request for the additional freestanding sign.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Henry Hirsch, Nationwide Travel, submitted a letter to the
Commission. Mr. Hirsch gave a brief explanation to the Commission
supporting the request.
Mark Frank, applicant, also gave a brief description of the request.

NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO 93-12:
1. The proposed seven (7) foot high, 50 square foot, three (3)
tenant panel freestanding monument sign (see attached
Exhibit "A") 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.
2. Strict compliance with Articles 961 will result in a substantial
economic hardship to the applicant because the proposed
freestanding sign is necessary for identification of the
business. The new business location in the front office
building does not provide any street exposure.
PC Minutes - 11/16/94
(7536d)
3. There are unusual site or building characteristics that preclude
Nationwide Travel Center from yielding adequate signage from the
provisions of the sign code. The office building is setback 85
feet from Edinger Avenue and does not have sufficient sign
exposure to passing motorist on Edinger Avenue.
4. Due to the fact that there are special site or building
conditions applicable to the site, approval of an additional
freestanding sign is necessary to enjoy sign provisions enjoyed
by surrounding properties.
5. Additional signage for this site would not constitute an
y aesthetic impact to the site and surrounding properties. The
proposed sign will be compatible with signage in the surrounding
area. There are other signs in the vicinity with less than 200

CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO. 93-12:
1. The site plan received and dated September 24, 1993 and the sign

requirement for a sign located within a landscaped planter.
2. Building and electrical permits shall be obtained prior to
installation of all signs.
3. The Planning Commission reserves the right to rescind this
special sign permit approval in the event of any violation of
the applicable zoning laws. Any such decision shall be preceded
by notice to the applicant and a public hearing, and shall be
based on specific findings.

and 115 feet (Edinger) of other freestanding signs, in lieu of the
minimum 200 feet between signs.

The two (2) major tenants in the existing commercial center
(Toys-R-Us & Lucky Store) identify the center with two (2) center
identification signs, a 15 foot high pylon sign located off Edinger
Avenue, and a seven (7) foot monument sign off Goldenwest Street.
In_addition, there are six (6) other freestanding signs within the
center that identify businesses with their own building pad.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Because the commercial shopping center is presently identified by
the Toys-R-Us/Lucky Store center identification signs off Goldenwest
and Edinger, staff is recommending the Planning Commission deny the
request for the additional freestanding directional signs.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Adele Cetin, 7122 Sunlight Drive, applicant, stated they were
requesting the signage because their business had no street
visibility.
Ali Cetin, 7128 Edinger Avenue, applicant, stated that competition
has caused business to slow, therefore they were requesting larger
signage.
Alex Cetin, 7132 Edinger Avenue, applicant, explained the history of
the site and their inability to be included in the existing
freestanding signage.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSON PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
The Commission expressed their concern that this businesses had not
been included in the signage that currently exists. They asked
staff if future sign programs could be conditioned to allow the use
by all tenants. Staff stated this could legally be done. The
Commission stated they would support a sign on Goldenwest Street
only, and outline the perimeters of the sign, but it must go to the
Design Review Board for final approval.

(7536d)
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO. 93-14:
1. Strict compliance with Articles 961 will result in a substantial
economic hardship to the applicant because the proposed
freestanding sign on Goldenwest Street is necessary for
identification of the business. The location of the Warehouse
Electronics business in the rear commercial building is over 500
feet from Goldenwest Street, and does not provide any street
exposure.
2. There are unusual site or building characteristics that preclude
Warehouse Electronics from yielding adequate signage from the
provisions of the sign code. The location and orientation of
the strip commercial building on the south side of the property
does not provide business exposure on Goldenwest Street. The
Warehouse Electronics business is 5,000 square feet in size and
is the third largest business in the center which warrants a
freestanding sign.
3. Due to the fact that there are special site or building
conditions applicable to the site, approval of an additional
freestanding sign is necessary to enjoy sign provisions enjoyed
by other businesses in the center. The Warehouse Electronics
business is 5,000 square feet in size and is the third largest
business in the center which warrants a freestanding sign.
4. The proposed three (3) foot high, nine inch (3'-9") high , 9
square foot freestanding directional 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
landscape planters and are adequately setback from other signs
in the vicinity.
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.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO. 93-14:
1. The site plan received and dated October 15, 1993 shall be the
conceptually approved layout except for the following
modifications:
a. The proposed sign on Edinger Avenue shall not be allowed.
b. The proposed sign on Goldenwest Street shall be maximum nine
(9) square feet in size (within the perimeters of three [31
feet high, by six [61 feet wide) and the total height no
greater than three (3) feet, nine (9) inches.

"Acceptance of Conditions" form has been signed and notorized by
the applicant, and returned to the Planning Division; and until
the ten (10) day appeal period has elapsed.

Electronics business only; and is non -transferable to another
business. Should the Warehouse Electronics business cease to
remain, the freestanding sign shall be removed at the owner's
expense.
6. The Planning Commission reserves the right to rescind this
special sign permit approval in the event of any violation of
the applicable zoning laws. Any such decision shall be preceded
by notice to the applicant and a public hearing, and shall be
