Conditional Erception_ No. 71—h9
Honorable IkWor and City Council
City of Huntington Peach
City Hall
Huntington Pesch, California
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned hereby appeals the decision of the Huntington Beach Planning
Commission rendered in the subject better. Although it was shown that Lhis
request met all of the requirements of Articles 9B3 of the Huntington Beach
Ordinance Code, the Planning Commission denied the application on the batsis
of no hardship Lnd subsequently announced a policy that the Conditional
Exception was not the proper approach to reactivating Rn oil. well, The
proper method being a rezoning, in this case, having the "0" suffix replaced,
since it had previously been removed; and that this could be dome only if
the: applicant could show that the "0" suffix had been removed by mistake.
The undersigned allegen that a definite hardship was shown to egxia;. and that
the Comrainsion finding of no hardship was unfotu,ded.. It is furtber alleged
that the Conditional Exception far better suite this type of situation than
a zone change, due to the temporary nature of the request. Also, if the
policy announced by the: Commission is to be strictly adhered to, it mould
be tantamount to impossible for an applicant to prove that an "0" suffix
xaa removed by mistake.
It is the opinion of the undersigned that the reactivation or wells is not
necessarily contrary to the City policy of consolidation of oil operations.
Very truly yours ,
STANDARD OIL COMPANY Cr u'IYORNIA
