B-1 RECONSIDERATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S CONDITIONAL
-APPROVAL OF SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO. 93-14:
APPLICANT: Alex Cetin
LOCATION: 7132 Edinger Avenue (Warehouse Electronics)
Special Sign Permit No. 93-14 was conditionally approved by the
Planning Commission on November 16, 1993 for a three foot, nine inch
(3'-9") high, 9 square foot freestanding directional sign on
Goldenwest Street. The applicant's request was also to allow a
freestanding sign on Edinger Avenue to identify Warehouse
Electronics at 7132 Edinger Avenue. However, the Planning
Commission voted to deny the installation of the second sign.
On December 1, 1993, Planning Commissioner Susan Newman submitted a
memorandum requesting the Planning Commission reconsider the action
taken on November 16, -1993. She indicates that the Commission's
action allowed for insufficient signage and an inadequate location.
She further states that the major tenants and -property owner have
been uncooperative in addressing the applicant's numerous requests
for street exposure and that the applicant's original request was
reasonable, given the size of the center and the circumstances
involved.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Since the existing 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
reconsideration request for the additional freestanding directional
sign. It should be noted that staff also recommended denial of the
freestanding sign off Goldenwest Street due to the number of
freestanding signs in the center, and the intent of the code to draw
business to the Toys-R-Us/Lucky Center.
PC Minutes - 1/4/94 -2- (7543d)
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Adele Cetin, 7122 Sunlight Drive, applicant, submitted a new design
proposal to the Commission. She stated that their request for
additional signage was due to the fact that their store was not
visible from Edinger Avenue nor Goldenwest Street. Ms. Cetin also
stated that even though their store has the largest square footage
in the center, they have no street signage.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS'PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC -HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Newman stated that she felt the request was reasonable
and some consideration should be made for the viability of stores
struggling for business.
Commissioner Cook stated she could support one (1) sign, slightly
larger than the original approval, -on Edinger Avenue since it was
their address street.
The Commission discussed having an 18 square foot sign on Edinger
Avenue and a allow the existing sign on Goldenwest to remain.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY GORMAN, SECOND BY COOK, TO APPROVE THE
RECONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO. 93-14 TO ALLOW THE SECOND
FREESTANDING SIGN ON EDINGER AVENUE WITH FINDINGS AND MODIFIED
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Cook, Gorman, Biddle, Richardson, Dettloff, Newman
NOES: None
ABSENT: Inglee
ABSTAIN: None
MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO. 93-14:
1. The proposed 18 square foot, maximum seven (7) foot high
directional sign -on Edinger Avenue and existing four (4) square
foot, maximum three (3) foot six (6) inch high sign on
Goldenwest Street 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.
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.
PC Minutes - 1/4/94 -3- (7543d)
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. 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.
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 freestanding sign on Goldenwest Avenue shall not exceed
four (4) square feet (two [2] feet by two (2] feet) in size
and no greater than three (3) feet, six (6) inches in height.
b. The proposed sign on Edinger Avenue shall not exceed 18
square feet in size (within the perimeters of three [3] feet
high, by six [6] feet wide), be no greater than seven (7)
feet in height, and comply with all other aspects of the code
(including site angle setback).
2. Prior to issuance of building permits the following shall be
completed:
a. The applicant and/or property owner shall file a cash bond in
the amount of $2,000 with the City for the purpose of
indemnifying the City for any and all costs incurred in the
removal of both freestanding signs. Should the Warehouse
Electronics business cease to remain, the City of Huntington
Beach or its agents or employees may enter on the property
where said signs are located and remove said signs and the
cost of removal shall be deducted from the cash bond and
summarily forfeited and paid over to the City of Huntington
Beach, and the remainder, if any, returned to the person
depositing the bond.
b. The sign elevations and design shall be reviewed and approved
by the Design Review Board and shall be architecturally
compatible with existing structures.
PC Minutes - 1/4/94 -4- (7543d)
3. Building permits shall be.obtained and finaled for the existing
sign within 90 days.
4. This special sign permit shall not become effective until an
"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.
5. Special Sign Permit No. 93-14 shall be valid for the Warehouse
Electronics business only; and is non -transferable to another
business. Should the Warehouse Electronics business cease to
remain, the freestanding signs 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
based on specific findings.
CODE REQUIREMENT:
1. Prior to the installation of any signs, appropriate building and
electrical permits shall be obtained.
B-2 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 93-41/CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION _
(VARIANCE) NO. 93-44:
APPLICANT: John Zubieta
LOCATION: 9045 Adams Avenue

to the existing Zubies Dry Dock Restaurant along with a 3,000 square
foot take-out floor area, and a 15,400 square foot commercial
recreation facility pursuant to Section 9630.0 of the Huntington
Beach Ordinance Code. -
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The applicant has requested a withdrawal of his application for the
restaurant expansion and new commercial recreation center. Staff
recommends the Planning Commission approve the applicant's request
to withdraw.
A letter was received from the applicant, dated January 4, 1994,
requesting that their application be continued to the February 1,
1994 Planning Commission meeting, instead of withdrawn. The request
was made in order to allow them time to provide additional
information that would support the request.

B-3 SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO. 92-10:
APPLICANT: Kevin McConnell
LOCATION: 16751 Beach Boulevard (northwest corner at Terry
Drive)
Special Sign Permit No. 92-10 is a request to permit a new sign
program at the Huntington Beach Jeep Eagle -- Hummer Auto Dealership
at 16751 Beach Boulevard. The program includes the removal of all
existing freestanding and wall signs, and installation of three (3)
new freestanding signs and four (4) channel letter wall signs. The
applicant has submitted Special Sign Permit No. 92-10 as a result of
a previous condition of approval on Limited Sign Permit No. 90-3
which required the removal of all non -conforming signs by August 21,
1992. As part of the limited sign permit, the applicant was
required to file a cash bond in the amount of $17,500 to guarantee
the removal of the signs should the property owner fail to comply.
The special sign permit request is to exceed the maximum height and
area allowed for freestanding signs and to exceed the maximum area
allowed for wall signs. The applicant proposes a 15 foot high, 50
square foot pole sign (identifying Jeep Eagle), a 10 foot high, 28
square foot pole sign (identifying Hummer), and a four (4) foot
high, eight (8) square foot monument directory sign (identifying
Service). The proposed wall signage totals 217 square feet,
exceeding the 160 square feet allowed based on building frontage.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed sign program for the Huntington Beach Jeep Eagle --
Hummer Dealership is in keeping with the signs in the area, and is
consistent with sign programs for other car dealerships on Beach
Boulevard. Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve Special
Sign Permit No. 92-10 with findings and suggested conditions of
approval.

ABSENT: Inglee
ABSTAIN: None
MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO. 92-10:
1. Strict compliance with Article 961 will result in substantial
economic hardship to the applicant because the proposed
freestanding and wall signage is necessary for identification of
the dealership. The location of the Huntington Beach Jeep Eagle
-- Hummer car dealership warrants increased signage for
motorists driving along Beach Boulevard. The proposed signs
will be compatible with sign programs for other car dealerships
on Beach Boulevard.
PC Minutes - 1/4/94
-7-
(7543d)
2. There are unusual site or building characteristics that preclude
Huntington Beach Jeep Eagle -- Hummer from yielding adequate
signage from the provisions of the sign code. The car
dealership is located on a corner with virtually no commercial
traffic on Terry Drive. By providing additional signage.on
Beach Boulevard, more exposure can be directed toward the major
arterial rather than a local street.
3. The proposed freestanding and wall signage will not adversely _
affect other signs in the area, nor will the signs obstruct
pedestrian or vehicular traffic. The freestanding signs will
comply_ with the minimum site angle requirement for freestanding
signs located in a landscape planter; the wall signs will be
installed in locations required by code. Furthermore,
additional signage for this site will not constitute an
aesthetic impact to the site and surrounding properties.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO. 92-10:
1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated
December 17, 1993 shall be the conceptually approved layout.
2. The existing non -conforming signs shall be removed (and
replaced) within sixty (60) days of this approval.
3. Building and electrical permits shall be obtained prior to
installation of the new signs.
4. All temporary signs (banners, flags, pennants) permitted
pursuant to Section 9610.9(a) of the Huntington Beach Ordinance
Code shall not have any verbage placed on them (i.e. business
ID, make and models of cars, sales/credit information, etc.)
5. 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.
B-4 COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 93-20/NEGATIVE DECLARATION
NO. 93-19•
APPLICANT: City of Huntington Beach, Department -of Public
Works
LOCATION: Coastal side of Pacific Coast Highway, between
Goldenwest Street and Ninth Street.
PC Minutes - 1/4/94 -8- (7543d)
Coastal Development Permit No. 93-20 and Mitigated -Negative
Declaration No. 93-11 is a request by the City of Huntington Beach
Public Works Department to permit bluff top park improvements and
construction of a new 246 space beach parking lot below the bluffs
on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway, between Goldenwest and
llth. The proposed bluff top improvements consist of the addition
of a new pedestrian walkway which will be separated from the
existing asphalt bike path, enhanced landscaping, including.the
design of a new irrigation system, removal of the existing crib
retaining wall and installation of new retaining walls which will be
located approximately five (5) feet further west (ocean side). The
construction of the new walls will include the removal of
approximately 5,000 cubic yards of soil. The walls will be terraced
and landscaped to reduce visual impacts, and will provide a greater
separation between the bike path and pedestrian path.
The proposed 246 space beach parking lot on the lower bluff includes
two (2) bicycle under crossings at the vehicular access points to
the parking lot at Goldenwest Street (entry) and llth Street
(exit). The undercrossings will provide a continuous bike path
along the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway and will reduce
bicycle traffic conflicts with vehicles and pedestrians -at the
access points. Pedestrian access points to the beach will also be
improved by providing additional stairways and handicap ramps down
to the beach. Temporary restroom (3) and concession (2) facilities
will'be installed within the parking lot area.
In compliance with CEQA guidelines, Mitigated Negative Declaration
No. 93-19 was advertised and routed to the State Clearinghouse for a
thirty (30) day comment period by state agencies. All impacts have
been identified in the mitigated negative declaration and are
addressed in the form of suggested conditions of approval.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed bluff top park improvements and beach parking lot are
consistent with the California Coastal Act, Bolsa Chica State Beach
General Plan, and the City's Local Coastal Program. The scope of
the project conforms with the policies contained in each of the
documents including the implementation of a bike trail from the pier
to the southern edge of the Bolsa Chica State Beach parking lot in
order to provide a continuous bike trail along the beach within the
city. Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve Negative
Declaration No. 93-19 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-20 with
findings and suggested conditions of approval.
Ron Hagan, Director of Community Services, City of Huntington Beach
and Jim Purkell, Purkiss Rose, presented to the Commission a brief
history of the project.
The Commission questioned staff on various aspects of the project.
Some concerns included the restrooms and concession stands being
temporary buildings, the acceleration lane onto Pacific Coast
Highway, public safety factors, Green Acres irrigation provisions,
and graffiti.
