TIP CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH I INTER-DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATION HUNTINGTON BEACH To City Administrator From H. E. Hartge - Attn: Bud Belsito i Subject Date June 21, 1974 The minutes of the City Council meeting of June 3,' 1974, regarding the equestrian use study, are misunderstanding. On Page 10 it states, "A motion was made by Councilman Duke. to direct staff to proceed with the signalization of Ernest Avenue and to look into Alternative Trail 2 as contained in the Equestrian Use Study dated May, 1974, prepared by the Huntington Beach Planning Department. The motion was passed by the following vote: " We listened to the tape of the Council meeting and found the following conversation regarding the subject of the signalization: "Mr. Harlow: Mr. Rowlands, there was one other comment that we should have pursued and that is on the horse element, and this is to have the staff pursue with the signaliza- tion at Ernest --that was the staff recommendation, Mr. Rowlands: Well, I assume that would be included,�in your overall program. Councilman Duke: That was my intent. Mr. Rowlands: That was the intent. Mr. Harlow: O.K. , fine. " I am bringing this to your attention so that no one will assume that we are proceeding with the plans and specifications for such a traffic signal. Whether or not a correction should be made to the official minutes can be your decision. I `H.

Miller City Attorney Deputy City Attorney aubjet Metromedia, Inc . , V. City Of.gate January 31, 1973 Huntington Beach - Status Report The subject action for injunction was filed September 10, 1971 by Metromedia, Ind. , et al. , ,after the city had filed prosecu- tions in Municipal Court for violation of its billboard ordinances, contained in Article 976, Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, by maintenance of billboards after expiration of the amortization period. The suit alleges invalidity of those city ordinances . A preliminary injunction was granted against our prosecutions and said injunction is still in effect . On June 21, 1972, the city submitted thirty interrogatories to each of the plaintiffs . All of the answers have now been received . On July 28, 1972, former deputy city attorney, Dan Whiteside, met with the attorney representing the State of California, Depart- ment of Public Works, who told him that the state had given the company notice to remove all billboards from state property by September 1. Subsequent to this meeting, suit for injunction was filed by the billboard companies against the state . The state suit is now pending and the hearing on order to show cause regarding the temporary restraining order is set for Febru- ary 16, 1973. I have been in communication with the state ' s at- torney on this case . He fe'els that Metromedia will be successful in obtaining a preliminary injunction. However, the state has ar- rived at an agreement with Metromedia as to exactly which boards are covered by the temporary restraining order. The state 's at- torney anticipates taking action in the near future to remove ap- proximately thirty billboards on state-owned property which are not subject to the temporary restraining order. By letter, I have requested that the state 's attorney keep me apprised as to locations and status of the thirty billboards to be removed. I should re- ceive an answer to this inquiry soon. In the city ' s case, I have recently responded to plaintiff's first set of interrogatories (forty-three) . Metromedia was not completely satisfied with the response and has filed a motion to compel. Pursuant to this office 's motion for an early trial, on November 2, d Pon P o B fa.," City A.tt S� ey January 31 19.73 4;; a "'oC'dia Inc. Page 2 ' the court set a twenty t al for April 3, 1973 . Rule 1.Zl-requires, with -some except-ions,, that discovery be completed 'thirty days before trial . 0.nNovember 2s 1972, Mr. Whiteside met with the attorney for Metromedia and discussed the possibility of a settlement through an agreement to remove the billboards after allowing them to stand for a specified number of years . Metromedia's attorney said that he would take it up with his client, but was doubtful . that they would agree, since Huntington Beach involves a total exclusion of billboards . Mr. Whiteside has stated, there are many obstacles to the city °s success in this case . I believe that irrespective of the result at the trial level, most likely appeals will follow. Thus , un- less some sort of an accord is reached, final resolution may take a few more years . Of course, we can hope that the state °s liti- gation with Metromedia will accomplish some of our goals and per- haps make our litigation moot . I am keeping in close contact with the state on this matter. If and when our case does go to trial, I do not plan to demean the role of aesthetics as a basis for our ordinance provisions . Plaintiffs will attack our provisions as being based solely on r aesthetics . Truthfully, it was based mostly on aesthetics, how- ever, in view of several recent cases , a multitude of arguments, plus some safety and economic factors that we may assert , despite the aesthetic influence, our ordinances should not fall on this basis . If you have any questions as to this approach, please review the attached materials in support of aesthetics . In addition to aesthetics, we will have to confront the question of reasonable amortization, particularly in view of the dissenting opinion in the Monterey case . In this regard, anything I can show to depreciate the value of the billboards , such as lack of repairs, is helpful. Some of our discovery has been aimed at these points . The real problem in this litigation will be some of. the apparent inconsistencies in our own ordinance, particularly with regard to , the amortization provisions . I believe that before we approach Metromedia with regard to a settle- ment of this matter, we should continue to assert as much pressure as we can and indicate that we plan to pursue this matter to its fullest .

Mr. England has asked me to reply. We have periodically published a reminder to our members in our weekly bulletin to abide by the ordinance; we have also made such announcements at our weeklyG'r�' breakfast meetings. The unfortunate part of such publications and announcements is that not all members or representatives of all offices read the bulletin, and certainly cannot attend the meetings. I have asked Mr. Dan Bruening to send me the latest ordinances in this regard since we were advised last September that the whole sign code is being rewritten and should be completed very shortly". However, since we would like to move as soon as possible, we will start with what is now on the books. We will make a copy of the pertinent sections and send a'copy to each Realtor, and to each of- Tice manager with the request that they insist that their sales staffs comply with the ordinances. We hope .this action will alleviate the problem. It is our desire to cooperate with the City and to assist at any time we can be helpful.

Subject: Request for installation of traffic signal lights at the intersection of Graham Street and Warner Avenue. The following petition is being presented for your consideration by those citizens greatly concerned by the unsafe conditions that exist at the aforesaid intersection. We, along with the Fernhill Owners Community Association and the Prestige West Homeowners Association (see attached letters), ask your cooperation in correcting said conditions by the installation of traffic signal lights. Your expediency in granting our request will be deeply appreciated by all who daily must use this intersection. 1 nr _t Number of signatures on petition: 1,259 W _ i i a % mu OWNERS COMMUNITY A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT i� P.O. Box 1127 Huntington Beach, California 92649 Honorable Mayor George C. McCracken and City Council P.O. Box 190 Huntington Beach, California 92648 Gentlemen: At the Regular Meeting of the Board of Governors of Fernhill Owners Community Association #1 held on February 21, 1972, a motion was made, seconded and unanimously carried that we respectfully request your immediate consideration to the installation of an electric traffic signal at the intersection of Graham Street and Warner Avenue. f Our Board is aware of the many accidents in the area and would appreciate your favorable action to this request. Very truly yours, Winton T. Warner Chairman bmw Prestige-West Homeowner's Assoc. 5392 Kenilworth Drive Huntington Beach, Calif. 92649 February 27, 1972 Huntington Beach City Council City Hall Huntington Beach, Calif. Dear Council Members: The Executive Committee of the Prestige-West Homeowner's Association has met in extraordinary session to discuss the use of traffic control at the corner of Graham and Warner Avenues. In particular, we have reviewed the arguments presented by the petition circulated by residents of the Prestige-West Tract. The Prestige-West Homeowner's Association enthusiastically supports the effort to implement traffic control at Graham and Warner. We observe that numerous intersections throughout Huntington Beach, with less apparent traffic problems, already have traffic control protection provided for local residents. The unbroken flow of traffic along Warner presents a serious traffic hazard to the residents of the Prestige-West Tract. We believe that 'serious injury accidents' are inevitable at the intersection of Warner and 'Graham unless suitable traffic control is instituted in the near future. We are hopeful that the City Council will recognize the seriousness of our traffic problem and take appropriate action to avert a potential tragedy. Very truly yours, William F. Wolz, Presi ent Prestige-West Homeowner's Assoc. WFW/mn We, the undersigned, do respectfully request the City Council of R=ti L,t,fl is .

Also in your letter you requested that I advise you of any court cases where the Ordinance has been challenged. Please be advised that the City has filed four criminal cases against various outdoor advertising companies oper- / ating within the City, and these are pending in court. The defendants in said cases have filed and obtained in civil action, a restraining order in Superior Court which is presently pending. The result, no doubt, will affect the action in the four criminal cases being prosecuted by the City. We have no objection to your associating this letter with the record of the Commission's hearing which was recently held in Los Angeles. Sincerely yours, Paul C. Jones City Clerk PCJ:p Encl.

Jones City Clerk Post Office Box 190 Huntington Beach, California 92648 Dear Mr. Jones: Thank you for your letter of May 2 with which you enclosed a copy of Resolution No. 3481, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Requesting Federal Legislation Granting States the Right to Meet Federal Standards for Control of Outdoor Advertising." The Commission is carefully studying the possible consequences of the provisions in the California law requiring compensation for the removal of signs on the Interstate and Primary systems on local ordinances con- trolling signs on other roads. Until the courts rule on the question of what is required for compensation because of equal protection provisions, the Commission will not know the exact effect of State provisions for compensation on local ordinances which call for the removal of signs by police power. We cannot at this time predict what recommendations the Commission might make in this area. As I am sure you know, Congress has previously considered the question of payment of compensation for removal of signs, and any recommendations of i this Commission must be adopted by Congress before there can be any changes in the Federal law. We are anxious to hear about developments regarding the effect of State ' laws requiring compensation on local laws providing for removal of signs by police power. I hope that you will keep us advised of the situation in Huntington Beach. Specifically we would appreciate your sending us a copy of the city's ordinance regulating signs and advising us of any court cases where this I ordinance has been challenged. I Mr. Paul C. Jones Page 2 May 12, 1972 If you have no bbjection, we shall associate your letter with the record of the Commission's hearing held in Los Angeles. Sincerely yours, 13 / "a Leo A.

Y of RESOLUTION NO. 3481 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL -OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH REQUESTING FEDERAL LEGISLATION GRANTING STATES THE RIGHT TO MEET FEDERAL STAN- DARDS FOR CONTROL OF .OUTDOOR ADVERTISING WHEREAS, the development of an attractive environment and the fostering of high visual standards both in urban and in rural areas of. our state. is primarily a goal of the City of Huntington Beach; and The effective control of outdoor advertising is one of the elements inherent in pursuit of this goal; and The federal government 's officially adopted goal. of high- way beautification is essentially identical with our own, mak- ing it desirable that the City of Huntington Beach should be and wishes to be working in unison with federal authorities; and Control of outdoor advertising is a long-established, progressive procedure in California with nonconforming adver- tising displays subject to removal under many local ordinances , and with recent state appellate court approval of the amorti- : zation principle, consistent with recognized zoning practices; and The City of Huntington Beach presently has a sign code which requires removal of nonconforming advertisement displays ; and The recent introduction of mandatory compensation payments. added to the compensation inherent in reasonable times for amortization has caused such confusion in our zoning and regu- latory structure that the result is a serious setback for our _overall sign control program (which involves many times more signs than are removable by terms of the Highway Beautification Act ) ; and 1. We learn that not only are California communities so affected but similar damage is being; suffered by programs in many other states , NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of City of Huntington Beach that it requests the federal of Highway Beautification to recommend, and. Congress to. enact , suitable, legislation granting each state the right to meet the federal standards for effective control of outdoor advertising by .whichever method the state may choose t.o use, namely , com- pensation payment or adequate amortization, in accordance 1�11.th constitutionality and customary useage within that state .

The appeal is made upon the following grounds : The directional sign was installed under the supervision of the Building Department of the City of Huntington Beach. Said sign was placed by said' Building Department in such a manner that it is approximately 60 feet too close. to the home of the resident on the outside perimeter of the sub- ject property . To remove said sign at this time would cause an undue expense to the applicant in view of the fact that said sign is not permanent and would be removed at the expiration of the current permit in one year ' s time . It is felt that this ruling by the Planning Department is unjust and places an undue hardship upon the applicant that is out of proportion to any alleged harm that said non-conforming sign might create; and that the matter should be re-heard. It is , therefore, respectfully requested that the hearing on this appeal be set for an appropriate date in March, 1972 , and that all interested parties be given adequate notice of such hears inc ely yo s , 7 EORGE,..:SH A GS: sol LAW OFFICES G EORG E S H I BATA �' !

The nature of the Conditional Exception is such that no party shall be injured by this extension. The matter involves the placement of a sign too close to a mobile home trailer .

Morning hour vehicular conflict is serious and this can only become more of a problem with the increase in employees at the McDonnel- Douglas plant resulting from the phase out of their Santa Monica facility. Plans and specifications for the installation of a full traffic actuated signal have been ordered and upon.their completion will be submitted to your Honorable Body for approval and advertised and awarded. A signal at this location was warranted after the opening of school this year. While there are other locations of higher priority to be signalized, it is felt that the public interest in the Springdale-Marina Parking Lot cross- ing justifies a reassignment of priorities. This office will solicit the financial participation of the High School District in this project. Further it is hoped that Marina High School will encourage observance of traffic rules by both student motorists and pedestrians. Very truly yours, James R.

Council meeting there was .a preliminary discussion of the problem- of billboards in Huntington Beach. There had not been sufficient time or information to -really study the issue of the sign ordinances, the proposed standards for outdoor advertising. signs, the Planning Commission response to the proposed standards, or the effect on the environment in communities where there are no . billboards. The. Land Use Committee is making a report of their findings to the Environmental Council April 13, and if City. Council wishes, we would be prepared to make recommendations after that time. Margaret A. Carlberg, Chairman Environmental Council s Y Huntington Beach Planning Commission P.O. BOX 190 CALIFORNIA 92648� April 5, 1971 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: Planning Commission RE: Proposed Standards for Outdoor Advertising Signs ATTN: Doyle Miller, City Administrator Paul Jones, City Clerk Gentlemen: The Planning Commission at their March 23, 1971, Study Session reviewed the Outdoor Advertising Committees third draft of, "Proposed Standards for Outdoor Advertising Signs," dated February 5, 1971. By majority vote, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council not allow erection of new outdoor advertising signs anywhere within the city and that every effort should be made to bring about removal of existing out- door advertising signs. The following reasons were given for this action: 1. Such signs are a blight on the environment. 2. Such signs are not benificial to the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Huntington Beach. 3. Such signs. obstruct the view of pedestrians and motorists. 4. It is contrary to the cities objective to develop and main- tain high standards of visual beauty within all areas of the city. MINORITY REPORT: - Commissioner Duke Commissioner Duke stated that the basis for voting no is not on the idea that he believes in outdoor advertising signs. However, at this point, the solution to the proposed standards is not to allow outdoor advertising signs for the life of the city, but to establish the clean-up of our scenic areas at this point, today, three months from now. Once this would be adopted phasing out outdoor advertising would come from development. At this point, not allowing outdoor advertising and continuing the worse blight, which in- clude tract directional signs, is inconsistent. Mr. Duke further stated that the basic thing is the solution which would come now in regards to our scenic areas including the beach. Respectfully submitted, K. A.

Areas where Outdoor Advertising Structures are permitted. The designated areas referred to in this section should be specifically called out. They should include the scenic highway cor- ridor along the coast as well as key scenic highways throughout the City. Also, to avoid confusion, any ordinance implementing this proposal should contain a provision prohibiting ' outdoor advertising signs within these desig- nated areas. Item #2. Section (a) Outdoor Advertising Signs on Vacant Property. It should be noted that unless a setback is specifically delineated on a sectional dis- trict map, there is no minimum front yard setback. Therefore , where setbacks have not been established, it is conceivable that, a i painted bulletin could be constructed on a ' 50 ft. lot adjacent to the front property line . Section (b) The staff feels that outdoor advertising signs should be prohibited on develope,l property, t 1'i i L;I I I o I I I (_ 011110V r- C hil i I (t i 1 L shoppin,,., c(,ri,(-r::. Lhe maximum s i gn ,,i rezi permitted behind Lrie setback is not use. If this provision is allowed , there could be an abundance of outdoor advertising signs within d(.vc1nped shopping centers . This is especially true in larger centers that have exercised sign control because the larger the building, the more sign area permitted. As an example, the Grant Shopping Center at the north- west corner of Adams Ave. and Brookhurst St. , has a permitted sign area of 3500 sq . ft. behind the setback . The developer has only used 1500 sq. ft . of this requirement. This permits an addi- tional 2 , 000 sq. ft . of sign area behind the setback along Adams Ave. and will allow two outdoor advertising structures along the fron- tage on Adams Ave . Item #3 . Size Limitations for Outdoor Advertising Signs . If the rationale for permitting outdoor adver- tising signs is that subdivision directional signs are permitted anywhere in the City, it should be noted that the maximum size of a subdivision directional sign is 200 sq. ft. Therefore , billboards should also be restricted to a maximum size of 200 sq. ft. or directional signs increased to 300 sq. ft . If this is not accomplished , the situation would be reversed and the subdivision directional sign companies could claim discrimination just as the outdoor advertising industry is presently claiming dis- crimination. -2- Tho ;()10 panel and 672 sq ft. pa rnt_(! Ltil let, '. -I 'it7PS haV(' bf_'CT1 proposed Lhe,,e niLional standards . In the je )f vision d i L-ect i.ona I signs, i L was f1he of the City that a 200 sq . f-, , sign was .711ifficient for identification purposes . If outdoor advert-- ising signs are to be con- sidered a legitimate business, it is the con- sensus of the ,],,7f that such signs should be limited' to poster panels only and that painted bulletins not be permitted. Item #7 . Distance Limitation Between Outdoor Advertis- ing Signs. It is the consensus of the staff that the idea of establishing a minimum distance between signs should be investigated by the City Attorney' s office to determine whether or not this require- ment is subject to being overruled by the courts thereby opening the door for an unlimited num- b,i=r of signs within areas permitting billboards, Item #8. Separation from Residential Property. The 200 ft . setback between an outdoor advertis- ing structure and any lot fronting on the same side of the street that is owned or used for residential purposes, was based on a similar requirement in the Sign Ordinance that applied to subdivision directional signs. However, in the case of subdivision directional signs, the 200 ft . setback is measured in all directions from any residential lot. This requirement was - 3- I i Shc-d i L W;is t c l L t_hAL a mini- I wns re- oil in i H i 111LA(11 V i ';IJ;l I i nLrusion of L I L1)(_: adjaceiiL residential area . If Lh:Is is true , the required setback for a 300 sq . ft . and especially the 672 sq. ft . sign, should be increased accordingly. Discussion was held as to whether or not a maximum number of outdoor advertising structures within the City should be established. It is the consensus of the staff that this should be investigated by the City Attorney' s office to determine whether or not it is legal . It is also the consensus of the staff that a provision should be added to this ordinance that would cause removal of signs made non-conforming after adoption of this ordinance. Also, if such sign is destroyed within the amortization period, that the sign may not be rebuilt. The staff also wishes to restate their original position that . additional outdoor advertising signs should not be permitted within the C.4 , y and that every effort should be made to bring about removal of existing outdoor advertising signs. -4- 14 Metz Enterprises SAN JOSE •- ORANGE • SAN DIEGO (714) 633-7034 880 NO.

U Huntington Beach, California 92648 Dear Mayor Shipley: Our Board of Realtors requests that the City Council grant us a sixty-day moratorium in the enforcement of the Huntington Beach City sign ordinance so we may submit to the City Council a detailed, controlled law with which the City, the new home developers and real estate brokers will be happy. The real estate people use 18" x 24" Open House signs to help homeowners sell their homes, potential buyers find their prospective new homes and to make a living selling real estate. Interest rates are high, VA-82% and FHA 9%, therefore, we find it is nec- essary to show a home to a large number of prospective buyers before find- ing a qualified buyer. I do not want to mislead you by indicating business is bad since it is just the opposite. Our Huntington Beach-Fountain Valley Board's dollar volume is up 44.3% over last year, to an all-time high of $34,425,299. We are one of a few Boards in the nation having this type of increase. However, we feel the attitude and hard work of all of our people in Huntington Beach account for this success . The residents of Huntington Beach, I'm sure, will 'be happy when the new building construction is completed and the large billboards come down. How- ever, for the time being, the builders who are forced to sell with high interest rates and monthly payments need all the help and support we can give them such as the directional signs they use to help bring potential buyers to their developments . Page 2 To: The Honorable Donald Shipley From: Huntington Beach-Fountain Valley Board of Realtors November 12, .1970 I;m sure the builders, as we in the real estate business would agree, have in many cases abused what would be considered good taste in the number of signs put out and where they have been placed. It is our intention to work with the construction industry and submit a proposal to you within the sixty- day period that will give us a fair ordinance that will give us a clean city and still not create such a devastating hardship as we now have . We need for our own industry the sales tool of the Open House in order to give our clients all the help possible in selling their homes . I hope the City Council will be able to grant this request.

The sign in question was permitted for one year with a $100 cash bond posted on June 20, 1967. Actual construction of the sign did not commence until September 1967. At the time of construction numerous complaints were received and an appeal was filed with the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission concured with the appeal and denied the sign at that location. An appeal was subsequently filed by the sign company and tract developer to the City Council. On October 23, 1967, the Council overruled the Planning Commission and allowed the sign to remain. The current ordinance provides for a one year time limit on all temporary directional signs with three successive one year renewals allowed.

Gentlemen: -'LFRK I am sure that you have seen the construction of a new warehousing facility being erected by Bekins Van &Storage Co. at 7572 Warner Avenue, Huntington Beach. We anticipate that the building will be ready for occupancy and open for business within the next four weeks . Our sign contractor, the Federal Sign and Signal Corporation, advise me, and Mr. McFarland and Mrs . Watson of your City Staff concur, that there is an omission to provide for the erection of an advertising sign or display on properties which are zoned M-1 under the building codes of the City of Huntington Beach. This is very probably an oversight which has not been brought to the attention of the Planning Department by reason of the recent commercial development of properties along Warner Avenue. . It is thus at the suggestion of Mr. McFarland and of Mrs . Watson, your City Attorney, that I am taking this opportunity to advise you that I will be appearing on behalf of Bekins Van &Storage Co. at your City Council Meeting Monday night tonnke an oral presentation regarding the merits of that company's request for a City Council ruling that the Planning Department may issue a permit to erect a reasonable and attractive sign. If, between now and the Council Meeting Monday night, you have an opportunity to look at the structure under construction, you" will see that it occupies a two-acre parcel and will have 15,000 square feet of storage space in it . When open, it will employ between 15 and 20 drivers and warehousemen and support six to eight trucks . As you know, Bekins attempts to present a good public image in the community; and hence the building, although it is a ware- house, has a pleasing appearance. Over $106,000 is being spent on it alone . l The Honorable Mayor and City Council Page 2 May 16, 1968 I look forward to seeing you on Monday evening to answer any questions you may have regarding this proposal at the conclusion of your regular agenda.

While this isn't part of the amendments presently being considered to the f sign ordinance, you were kind enough to hear us out. After much discussion, we were advised that we may put any suggestions we have in written form. In the meantime, we have had an opportunity to discuss this situation with other companies. May we respectfully suggest the fol.looino: We definitely feel that we can get the cooperation of all companies involved in coming up with a solution that may be satisfactory. At present, it would be impossible to put such a solution in letter form, therefore, with your permission, may we meet with an appointed coirmittee which could physically look at each location you find objectionable, keeping in mind that we might arrive at a solution through re-building, re-painting, or in some cases even removal? We have a sincere desire to cooperate with your City and feel that there is an answer to this mutual problem. Any considera- tions will be appreciated.

All pertinent j letters received 'on the Sign Code were revieved,, i.e., letter from L.A.C. .

Some participants ware able to make all of the meetings. Inasmuch as the Sign Code had already cone .:gotth-- from the.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA 92648 5969494--64P58t& _536-6561 March 26, 1968 Huntington Beach City Council City of Huntington Beach Gentlemen, This letter is a follow up to my appearance at the council meeting of March 18, 1968, regarding the new sign ordinance. The one section I spoke on can be found on page 36 of the new ordinance 4r9763-3,2,4A attached signs. The planning commission action recommended 20% of the front surface of the store. This 2M, may be right if there is basis for it, but at their meeting when the c/o was established, it was picked out of the sky more or less. The evening had become late and the subject tiring. The recommendations from the sign peope was 30% at least, and the Chamber of Commerce committee was the 15% was not adequate. To me and Y am sure you people feel the limitation are , more against poor signs rather than the limited amount of sign. Good signs done in good taste with 30 to 40% copy is one thing, but poor signs done by amatEur.-,with 10 to 15% is too much. I can see- know harm in requiring plans or sketches of this type of sign and approval from designated department with fee required. I do not feel 20% of the front is adequate. I think that the trade recommendations should have some bearing on the amount of sign allowed. Respectfully James J. De Guelle May 6, 1968 rr.

The Orange County Chapter, Building Industry Association wishes to comment on Article 9763.'9 Temporary Directional Signs as follows: S-9763.9.2.1 (a) Concur in the establishment of a Board of Zoning Adjustments. (b) Do not concur in the establishment of a filing and inspection fee of $100.00. This is a 100% increase in the existing filing and inspection fee whereas the size of directional signs have been decreased from 400 square feet to 200 square feet. The same comment applies to the $50.00 re-inspection fee which is also a 100% increase. S-9763.9. 4 (b) Concur in the maximum sign height of 35 feet for residential zoning however do not concur that this sign height limitation should apply to Professional, Commercial and Industrial Zones. (d) Do not concur in the absolute language of this paragraph which limits the minimum distance between signs located on the same -side of the street as 300 feet. The Outdoor Advertising Act of 1967 issued by the Department of Public Highways and Division of Highways permits the 100 feet distance between signs on Beach Boulevard (Highway 39) . There are circumstances where signs should be permitted closer together than 300 feet. Recommend that this paragraph be re-worded so that the door may be left open for the Board of Zoning Adjustments to permit distances between signs down to but not less than 100 feet. AFFILIATED WITH THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF HOME BUILDERS X S.9763.9. 4 (g) Believe that a simple "change of copy" is much to restrictive and severe as to require issuance of a new permit. There are many instances when simple copy changes are required, because of a change in price or an opening of successive units in the same tract which should not require issuance of a new permit. Recommend that this wording be changed as to require issuance of a new permit when there is a change of developer or sign lessee and/or a change in tract.

Our committee has participated in the work sessions on this lengthy document from the very beginning. We have called atten- tion to several possible trouble areas and most of these suggestions have been incorporated. At least two significant problem areas still remain. 1, A 50" height limit should be considered in a professional zone= as well as commercial and industrial since hotels and motels are included in R-5. 2. Sign sizes and methods of computing may be inadequate in many instances. It is virtually impossible for any lay committee to foresee all possible conflicts that will undoubtedly arise. Therefore, if a sign ordinance is approved in this suggested form.. we urge the council to remain amendable to revisions, if and when it becomes clearly evident that some provisions have an adverse effect on the business community: especially business sales. We have no general objection to the intent behind this sign code.. which we understand is to eliminate the types of signs which detract from the good appearance of our community and its business sector.

KISER May 6, 1968 DISTRICT MANAGER City of Huntington Beach City Council P. 0. Box 190 Huntington Beach, California 92648 Subject: Proposed Sign Ordinance, Article 976 Gentlemen: We thank you for the opportunity given us to review the subject ordinance and respectfully request your consideration of the following additional language: S. 9761.3 EXCEPTIONS Amend By the Additional Language J. "Non-advertising signs of public utility companies may be required in their operations and providing service for the health and welfare of the general public, or as required by any law or regulation of the State of California or any agency thereof." Reason: The Southern California Edison Company has established throughout its system pre-designated circuits and switching points for use in our day to day operation. ' These circuits and switching points are also important factors in maintaining service during times of emergencies and are identified by signs affixed to utility poles and transformer enclosures. These signs, as well as warning or danger signs, are an integral and necessary part of the Edison Company operation. The posting of warning signs or tags is subject to certain standards of safety, as recited in the Electrical Safety Orders of the Division of Industrial Relations, State of California. This regulatory body sets forth the standards to be followed by the Edison Company and other public utilities. City of Huntington Beach May 6, 1968 Page 2 The Southern California Edison Company respectfully requests that favorable consideration be given to the foregoing suggestion. Yours very truly, R Ralph/ .`Kiser, D 'strict Hager RCK:DAF:bg Founded 1 9 0 4 Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce s May 6 t 1968 CITY COUNCIL CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Gentlemen: In reference to the sign ordinance presently under consideration j we wish to commend the City Planning Staff and the Planning Commission for their many hours of work in drafting this proposal and their cooperation with our Legislative Action Committee, Our committee ha s participated in the work�se s sions on this lengthy document from the very beginning, We have called atten- tion to several possible trouble areas and most of these suggestions have been incorporated, -At least two significant problem areas still remain, 1, . A 50" height limit should be considered in a professional zoneZ. as well as commercial and industrial since hotels and motels are included in R-»5. 2, Sign sizes and methods of computing may be inadequate in many instances. It is virtually impossible for any lay committee to foresee all possible conflicts that will undoubtedly arise, Therefore= if a sign ordinance is approved in this suggested form:_ we urge the council to remain amendable to revisions? if and when it becomes clearly evident that some provisions have an adverse effect on the business community. especially business sales, We have no general objection to the intent behind this sign code: , which we understand 'is to eliminate the types of signs which detract from the good appearance of our community and its business sector; Yours truly.. 66Q Dale L, Dunn,. Manager POST OFFICE BOX 272, 314 FIFTH STREET, HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA 92646 0 (714) 536.6564 HUNTINGTON BEACH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE June 17, 1968 PROPOSED SIGN CODE ARTICLE 976 HUNTINGTON BEACH ORDINANCE CODE City Council City of Huntington Beach California Gentlemen: Pursuant to the Council's request to have all interested parties get together with the Planning Department and ask any desired questions or interpretations of the pending proposed Sign Code, we wish to report as follows: i' The Planning Department, primarily Mr. Dick Harlow, to whom we express our appreciation for his time and understanding, made itself available for several 2-3 hour meetings wherein we discussed, section by section, the entire Sign Code draft. All pertinent j letters received on the Sign Code were reviewed, i.e., letter from L.A.C., B.I.A., Mark Porter, S.C.E,S.A., Southern California Edison, etc. Unfortunately, citizen par= ticipation in these review sessions (held during working hours) was lighter than we would all desire. Participation was primarily by Messrs. Dale Dunn, Bill Woods, Jack Kobig, Jim Bollin, J. J. Shea of the Chamber's Legislative Action Committee; Mr. Mark Porter and Mr. Jack Groth. Some participants were able to make all of the meetings. j Inasmuch as the Sign Code had already come _=forahr from the Planning Department and been reviewed by the Planning Commission, we found that, although the Planning Department Staff was agreeable to certain suggested changes, the Staff lacked authority to make any changes during the course of our joint review. Accordingly, we set forth attached hereto a "Compilation of Comments" on the Sign Code which we believe fairly reflects all comments that were raised. As no authority existed to agree to any of these comments, this compilation is set before the Council for their pleasure or action. For the Council's assistance, the following is noted: All comments herein are .. L.A.C. unless otherwise noted. Comments with an asterisk in the margin indicate Planning Staff's non-objection or semi-approval to such comments. Other comments were considered by Staff to be matters ' which we would have to place directly before the Council Okthout any Staff comment and possible Staff disapproval. Two asterisks in the margin indicate "no comment" by Staff. page 2 Inasmuch as the Planning Commission has already reviewed this Sign Code as written, all comments, whether prefaced with an asterisk or not, will have to be approved or disapproved by the Council or again go to the Planning Commission. We (L.A.C.) undertook this compilation for the benefit of the Council. If we can be of further service, we will be happy to serve. Very truly yours, HUNTINGTON BEACH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE By �a hp�e.i Dale D3�7 nager By _ �Q\-e r Shea, f.A.C. Chairman . i 74, JUNE 17, 1968-COMPIIATION OF COMMENTS RE H.B. SIGN CODE O1 Page 1, S. 9760.2. The second paragraph limits the type -of sign advertisements to -the advertising of only those types of uses which would be a lawful use of the premises upon'which the sign is located. This would prohibit the placement in industrial zones of signs advertising a commercial use in another part of the.. City or vice versa This can be rather restrictive and impair the marketability and eventual revenue to the City as well as private parties from such uses. Perhaps this could be alleviated by including in the devinition of Temporary Directional Signs, Page 44, 5..9763.9. 1 a & b, at least certain of the more usual commercial and industrial uses, i.e. , industrial parks, etc. Temporary Directional Signs,- by special exception;- S.9763.9.3, are allowed in all zones, as they should be, . subject . to the Code requirements re size, eventual removal, etc. Page 1 & 2, S.9760.3.2. The Director of Building & Safety is charged with O2 determining before granting a permit, that any proposed sign conforms to all applicable requirements of Code, etc. Suggest that such determination be specifically required to be made within a stated, i.e. 30 days, or at least a reasonable time from date of permit application. Also, if the Director determines the. sign does 'not conform - suggest he be required to state the basis of non-conformity so that applicant can properly comply. Page 2, S.9760.3.3. This states that a. permit can be recinded at any time by the Director if any provisions of this Code b-e violated. Suggest that before Oso recinding a- permit which could automatically envoke .penalties upon the alleged violator for operating without a permit, that the alleged violator be given adequate notice of -the manner in which he is .violating the Code and adequate time to cure the violation, if -it is possible; or' the 'procedure to follow for administrative review of:the alleged violation charge. Page 2, S.9760.3.5. _M Stating that this Code is not intended to permit O4 violations of any other City regulations and where others are existing the most restrictive shall govern. This provision will be workable if Code Amendment 68-7 (deferred at June 3, 1968 Council meeting)- is passed which will repeal all existing sign provisions. In lieu_.of 68-7, perhaps this section could be modified t-o the 'same effect. Without such "clearing of the' decks" I'm afraid the new 72-page Code will only, lead to numerous misunderstandings. e Page $& 4, S.9760.3.9. 1. '_.- This provision sets stiff penalties for violations 5 of the Sign Code. This is necessary but I suggest that these penalties, for each days violation, etc. , be. applicable only to intential violators or (&nd) for continuing violations after receiving notice from the City of the violation and given adequate time to cure or. cease such violation. Page 5, 5.9761.2 (last paragraph). This paragraph states that the permit _ application shall (1) bear the sign owner's and land -owner's signature or their © agents and shall -(2) grant to the City the right to enter and remove said sign for stated reasons. This paragraph actually covers two items which could perhaps be better handled`as separate items inasmuch as. a landowner lessor may not or will-not want .to -sign an application for a Lessee's particular sign, i.e. , in effect endorse it-,. but would be willing to be required to give the desired right of .entry. Page 6, 5.9761.3. (e). Re signs identifying a development and denoting the *architect, etc. No permit necessary. Are these- permanent type signs or are Othey to be removed at some later, but not stated, period? Suggest adding "and to be removed upon completion of construction". -2- Page 8, 5.9762. 1 (a).. Mark Porter Comment. A definition for ."Abutting ® Street Grade" should be incorporated to indicate the point where height measurements will be taken from. Believe Staff concurred to define this point as the nearest. centerline point of the adjacent street. Page 8, S.9762. 1 (a). Re "Advertising Structure" definition, i.e. , concerning that which is used for .the support or display of advertising and that "This 9O definition includes the sign surface area". Is this clear? Suggest this last quoted sentence be deleted so as to not confuse. Page 14, S.9762. 1. (t), Re Temporary Signs . . . : . "intended to be displayed Ooutside a building for a limited period of time". Could this be more accurately expressed as' "intended to be displayed other than inside a building for a limited period of time?" Page 17, 5.9762.3. 1(a). This provision prohibits the use of P.A. systems "in connection with any advertising program, sign_ or. structure". This regulation of P.A. systems in any advertising program seems out of place in a Sign Ordinance. I do not recall "program" being in earlier drafts of this Code. It would seem more fitting to have `it 'regulated, permitted .or not, etc. , under any ordinance more directly pertaining to sound rather than to,;signs. Suggest "with any advertising" program, sign or structure "be rephrased to read ."with any sign or- advertising structure". Page 17, S.9762.3. 1(g). Mark Porter Comment. Suggest this should possibly read . . . "shall be so designed that direct light does not fall or reflect onto l2 adjacent property in any residential zone or onto a public thoroughfare" (new language underlined). Page 18, S.9762.3. 1. (j). Re Rotating Signs . . . "and the pivoting point of said signs shall be at the center of the sign". Why at the center of the sign? �3 Could this not be at the center of balance of the sign (if such regulation is necessary) and allow more flexibility of design and possibly safety? Page 20 5.9762.3.3. Re allowing temporary signs for special events such 14 as grand openings, changes of ownership or management and change of business address. Should this not also be allowed for "special sales". The allowance is only given by special permit and a $100 bond guarantying removal upon permit expiration. This should assure eventual removal yet allow- flexible advertising for merchants who find. such methods increases sales. Possible- suggestion: delete the illustrations of what constitutes "special events" and let Board of Zoning at least have the authority to decide. Also, -if a permit is extended or reviewed, let the original bond suffice if still in force. Page 21, S.9762.3.4 (d). Re minimum separation of 100' between identification signs.-and/or ground signs. These- signs may be for,: entirely unrelated purposes 15 and the separation requirement may not be appropriate. Page 21, 5.9762.3.5. We -note that this can be a likely problem area of how �(o to allocate, especially in existing commercial areas. Whose name comes off, if the combined signs exceed the allowed area? Who caused the sign area to be exceeded, etc.? Page 22, 5.9762.3.5. (g). Concerning restrict"ion, limiting the sign height to the building heights of the zone in which a sign is located. Does this reduce 17 any of the heights specifically allowed in this new Sign Code? The Staff has advised that--they did not believe that this would reduce any heights specifically allowed in this Sign Code. Page 22, S.9-7,62.4. 1. Suggest underlined addition to the first paragraph, �$ i.e. , "Except_ as otherwise provided in this Article, and after notice- from the City to conform, non-conforming signs and advertising devices shall be . . . . . -3- Page 23 .& 24, S.9762.4. 1 (a), (b), (c), (d), & (e). All of these �a sub-sections .(a) through (e) end with the words "subsequent to the effective date of this ordinance:'. In keeping with .the change above suggested for Page 22 of this Section, we suggest that the quoted words in sub-sections' (a) through (e' ) be replaced by "after notice: from the City to .conform". Page 24', S.9762.4.1. (f). .For the same reason as set forth above we suggest that the words",after the effective date of this ordinance," be changed to after notice .from the City to conform,". Page. 23, S.9276.4--_1. (c). Same comment as re Page 17, S.9762.3. 1. (a) 're reference:_to "advertising program" should be deleted and •treated as necessary in 2( a sound ordinance and not a sign ordinance. - "Advertising program" should_ be "sign or advertising structure". using a public address, system.. Page 25, S.9762.4.4 (New comment).. This section allows one to apply to 22 the Planning Commission for a possible extension of non-conforming sign, 'but it requires .that. such application. be made no later than 60 days preceding the date on which such sign will have to be. removed or conformed under other provisions of this Code. . Inasmuch as some of these date, per S.9762.4. 1 are specified to be 30 or 60 days after effective date of the Code '(or -after- notice from the- City to conform, as we suggest) - it will be impossible for -certain sign owners.'to make an application 60 days prior to their deadline; if they so desire. In such cases, we suggest the application be acceptable 15 and 30 days_ respectively, before their deadline. Page 25 & 26, S.9762.4.4. As to the third sentence, bottom of.. Page 25, top of Page •26, which allows for an extension "for a period of not be exceed 23 -one (1) year beyond the -date herein provided". We suggest deletion of this quoted language so as to at least• give the Planning Commi§sion and City the authority to. extend for such. a- period as they may deem fit an otherwise . non-conforming sign. . With such deletion, this sentence will simply read '.'after_ a hearing, the Planning Commission may' grant permission to extend the time for ..alteration, removal or replacement of said sign, sign structure,. or other ' advertising device'.% They .don't have to grant -such permission but this change- . would authorize such' if they so desired. This Section might also be clarified to allow. simi.lar review by.application of proposed new signs that, if erected, would be. non-conforming. Such occasions will arise., especially where present zoning.has not been yet updated to present or likely future''use. - This Sign.Code is based on. allowing certain types and sizes of signs in certain areas depending on what the zoning for such area is. We have non-conforming uses allowed by variance in certain areas and their signs will be non-conforming signs with no authority in this Sign Code to allow unless the foregoing clarification is made. or understood. Page 30, S.9763.2.3. 1(a). Mark Porter Comment. "In R5 (S.9254. 1) _the sign ® allowance -is l sq. ft/2 front -feet with a maximum area of 100 sq. ft. - Here it is l sq. ft./1 front foot with a maximum of 200 sq.ft."; We (IAC) recognize this .increase, endorse it and condur with the Staff in this regard. This applies to signs in Professional Zones and is not unreasonable. ..It may yet be inadequate as Motels and Hotels area normal .use in this zone and possibly further•increase should be -considered. For the .same reason,-motels and -hote?ls, we suggest 50` height be allowed for these signs in lieu of the 35' limit presently stated in (b) of this section. Page 34, S.9763.3.2.3. (a).. Mark Porter Comment re sign area allowance 'is 'LS - one. squarefoot for each- foot of street frontage but '-'no limit is" specified," earlier. maximum was 200 sq. ft." We (LAC) recognize this latitude, endorse it and concur with' the Staff in this regard. This applies to. signs in Commercial Zones. We believe-,that the -1 sq.ft. per front foot will sufficiently limit most signs (we hope not unduly) due to limited lot sizes and as to larger lot frontages, we feel that economics will control such sign areas. -4- ' Page 34, S:9763.3.2.3(b). Mr. Jack Groth has a valid comment on this section.and-- others affecting.his type of business. As a successful Chevrolet agency contributing substantially to the City's economy, he asks if .anyone can say just which one or more of his advertising signs, etc. , brings in his customers. Conversely, deleting or changing which ones would lose .how many customers? Sub-section (b) requires pole signs and others -which he and Mliilar auto agencies use, to be 200 feet apart. This will reduce his advertising medium, repetition, etc. , all of which are valid advertising methods. Some are also-.a 'part of national advertising programs to which automobile dealers subscribe. Suggest .that the Council seriously consider reducing this spacing requirement-. and possibly others or in some manner allow good quality, permanent_ signs to exist in locations to not lose sale revenues, realizing an overall orderly appearance is a mutual goal. Page 36; S.9763.3.2-.4. (a). - Affecting Commercial Zones and requring that the total combined area of all signs behind the setback shall not exceed 20 percent of vertical surface .of the building. We note that S.C.E.S.A. .(Southern California Electric- Sign-Association)- recommended that this be 30%,. based on their experience of desired use we assume. Why is 20% deemed adequate. Page 39, S.9763.4.4.1(a). Concerning Industrial Zones, and limiting combined' 28 area to 10% and but one roof sign per building even though it -is shell type . building designed to be separated into individual units .or businesses: We are trying to encourage good industry .to settle in Huntington Beach and help share the homeowners and others municipa_1 'tax burdens:. We feel these sign limitations for industrial uses may be quite inadequate, especially for those industries large or small that feel freeway exposure to -their name or location is important to where-they will locate. Page 40, S.9763.5. Mark Porter Comment. Suggests that, "all-real estate signs shall be unlighted (there is no mandatory provision as this section now �9 stands.) We. (LAC)_ and the Staff understand this comment as referring to the usual real estate signs found in R-1 zones, which are not. normally lighted. Accordingly we concur; along ,w ith the Staff, in this comment .that this be clarified- to- state that. "all-real estate signs' in R-1 zones shall be unlighted." Other type signs covered by this Section could be allowed to be lit if in other than an R-1 .zone. Page 40, S.9763.5. Reference in this section and in S.9763.9.9. 1 on Page 53 30 to S.9763.8 should beycorrected to be S.9763.9. Page 40, S.9763.5. Second paragraph. Should not real estate land development 31 projects involved in the sale, lease or rental of industrial or commercial units be also included in this paragraph, and not just mobile homes and volume dwelling units. Suggest such addition and that "Land Development Project" Page 44, be defined to include "industrial or commercial developments of on acre or more This is important to the progress of our City. Page 40, S.9763.5.1.1 (a). Mark Porter Comment, noting that this section 3z allows real estate signs in R-1, _R-1-PD5 and R-2 Zones with a sign area up to 1 sq. ft. per each 15 feet of street frontage with a maximum of 50. sq.ft. Earlier .maximum was 2 sq.ft. re R-1 and R-I-PD5 and-3 sq.ft. in R-2. We (LAC) and apparently Staff also feel the present draft is not unreasonable. It allows- latitude for large, large .lots but under the formula the average lot 50-60' widths will restrict the signs to. 3 to 4 sq.ft.. Page 41, S.9763.5:2. 1(a). -Mark -Porter Comment that "The maximums formerly © allowed were 4 sq.ft. in R-3 .(S.9201.2) and .6' sq.ft. in R-4 (S.9231.6)". . The Staff saw fit from our previous studies- to set the allowance at 1 sq.ft. of area for each 10 feet of street frongage,,maximum of 50 sq. ft. of sign area. This still limits the average sign, i.e. , a 50 ft. lot allows but a 5 sq.ft. sign, _ close to previous standard but gives more latitude for larger lots which is reasonable. -5- Page 41, S.9763.5.3.2. (a). Mark Porter Comment. "This one reduces the 3 maximum area formerly allowed.-- Congratulations". The present Code draft allows 1 sq.ft, of sign for each 5 feet of street frongage, maximum of 50 sq.ft. This applies to R-5 zone uses. This may not be sufficient but lets try it and see. OPage 42, S.9763.5.5. 1(a). Mark Porter Comment stating, "Formerly the maximum 35 in RA zone (S.9601.3) was 2 sq.ft." This was considered too small. Accordingly the present Code draft sets the limit of 1 sq. ft. per 15 feet of street frongage, maximum- 50 sq.ft. Page 42, -S.9763.5.5. 1. First paragraph. If present language is to remain, ® -suggest adding after "One Sign" the phrase "is permitted for each parcel of land abutting a street". Otherwise this section.allows only one sign per entire zone which is not felt to be the .true intent. Believe Staff concurs. Page 43, S.9763.7. Mark Porter Comment "Ordinance should clarify that the 3� $100 bond (to guarantee signs removal) applies to all signs for one candidates- or .issue for which a committee exists and is so indicated on the sign. This will help to_ define responsible parties who-have legal permits" LAC concurs. Further discussion with Staff suggests -that possibly this bond might just as well be $100 cash deposit guarantying removal as it will likely be used (forfeited). If the signs are timely removed, such cash deposit can be returned. ® Page 44, 5.9763.9.1(a). Mark Porter Comment concerning the definition of Temporary Directional Signs advertising a land development project located within the City of Huntington Beach or abutting cities. Mr. Porter suggests adding, "Said directional sign shall be unlighted". LAC disagrees and concurs in the present Code draft which does not require these temporary directional signs to be unlighted. These signs are temporary, they are expensive, good quality and advertise major developments that are important to the City. If the developer's_ experience indicates the sign is worth the additional cost of lights to get full impact, it- should be so allowed. Mr. Porter further comments re allowing these signs to advertise such projects located within the City of Huntington Beach or abutting cities. Mr. Porter suggests "or abutting cities" be deleted. . We strongly disagree. This -would identify Huntington Beach as an isolationist. Adjacent cities would retaliate and not allow such signs in their cities advertising land development projects in Huntington Beach. We would lose, because we feel- that more traffic flows into our City through our neighboring cities, due to our coastal position, rather than the reverse. Recommend that "or abutting cities" remains in this Section of the Sign Code. O Page 44, S.9763.9. 1(b). Mark Porter Comment. Re deleting mobile home parks and a partment projects from definition of ".Land- Development Project" leaving such definition to only apply to re-sidential developments. We strongly disagree as and for the reasons 'stated ,below. We recommend adding.to this definition as now written - see next comment. Page 44, 5.9763.9.1(b). , Suggest adding to Land' Development Project definition Q� to include industrial=or commercial developments of one acre--:or .more. This is important to the- progreas of our City and to encourage good industry and commercial to locate here to the mutual benefit of.both business and homeowners in sharing municipal tax burdens. qi _Page 45, 5.9763.9.2, Mark Porter Comment. "No reference to the appeal procedure is spelled. It is not widely disseminated." Per discussion with Staff, it is thought that this clarification can be made by reference in this .section to the effect that normal appeal procedure will be applicable, per Section 981 of H. B. Ordinance Code. -6- Page 45, S.9763.9.2.1. States that permit application for a Temporary Directional Sign shall be made to. the Director of Building & Safety who then refers it .to the Board of Zoning Adjustments for their administrative review, approval, conditional approval or denial. Question: Why is the Board of Zoning involved in this matter when the Director of Building & Safety is authorized and charged, under Page J, S.9760.3.1 & 3.2, with determining that any proposed sign shall conform with the applicable requirements? The applicable requirements should be clearly set forth so- that the public and the Director can readily understand them and determine conformity or not therewith. 43 Page 45, S.-9763.9.2. 1(a). Concerning certain points, numbered 1 through 4, that the Board of Zoning (which, per, 'above comment; need not be involved) must . consider before approving or denying. Point 1, 2 & 3 in this sub-section should be deleted as they are matters -of opinion and too discretionary to be the basis of a regulation that a -person can-comply with. Points 1, 2 & 3 deal with the Board determining that 'the proposed sign does not "adversely affect" (How?) other signs; that it is not "detrimental to property located in the vicinity" and is, "in keeping with the character of surrounding neighborhoods." Point 4 - that the proposed sign "will not obstruct pedestrian or -vehicular traffic vision" is a reasonable requirement for any sign. �¢ Page 45, S.9763.9.2. 1(a) 2. Mark Porter Comments that "No criteria are established for the separation of signs from abutting occupied residential areas. LAC' also'noted this criteria was missing and recommended. a 50' .separation as previously requested by the Council. Staff plans to insert such a criteria on Page 48 under S.9763.9.4.(c) but Staff plans .to set a distance of "200 feet from- any established residential area, except within a model home complex." LAC feels that the 200 feet is excessive and recommends 50 feet. ® Page 46, S.9763.9.2.1 (c). Same comment as for Page 5, S.9761.2, requiring the sign owner and the landowner to (1) sign the application, and (2) grant the City the right to enter and remove the sign for stated conditions. Suggest this be handled as two items. so that the landowner need. not be a required endorser on the application. ® Page 46 & 47, .S.9763.9.2.1 (d). The end of the first sentence of- this provision provides for parties consenting to the City entering "upon the land, without liability, to remove or to inspect said sign as may be necessary". Suggest that "as may be necessary" be defined to restrict such discretionary entry to entry "to remove or to inspect said sign for violation of applicable ordinances and regulations." 47 Page 46, S.9763.9.2.1 (d). BIA .Comment (Building Industry Association). BIA does "not concur in the establishment of a filing and inspection fee of $100. This is a 100%, increase in the existing filing fee and inspection fee whereas the size of directional signs have been decreased from 400 sq.'ft. to 206 sq.ft. This same 'comment applies to' the $50 re-inspection fee which is also a 100% increase. LAC concurs with BIA and ask why this increase. Council should seriously:consider any increase as each little one adds to the mounting load. This affects small tract, custom oriented builders more than large tract developers. We should encourage all small quality builders as well as large ones. 48 Page 47 & 48, S.9763.9.4. (a). Re Size of Sign, no more than 25' long nor .12' high and shall not exceed 200 sq.ft. 25' x 12' = 500 sq.ft.- Believe that the 200 sq.ft. maximum is too small for this type of temporary sign and that it should be 400 or 500 sq.ft. limit. ® ]Page 48, S.9763.9.4(b). BIA Comment. Concur in the maximum.sign height of 35 feet for residential zoning however do not concur that this -sign height limitation should. apply to Professional, Commercial and Industrial Zones. Concur, LAC noted this need earlier re Sections dealing with such other zones. Y -7- OPage 48, S.9763.9.4. (c) 5. Re. removal of -sign when the "land development project is sold., leased or rented". As the project could likely be ,sold as' s package to another developer I believe the true intent of this clause would be better expressed as requiring removal "upon the initial sale or rental of all of the individual units comprising _a land development project, for their intended purposes". Another :solution might be. to- retain the present language but exclude from its effect any bulk sale .of the project -or portions thereof to other 'developers, brokers, etc. OPa'ge 48; S.9763.9.4. (c)- 5. Mark Porter. Comment, "sold" should be..defined 51 in conjunction with S.9763.9.4. (f)." No objection. We suggest "(f)" incorporate by reference this "(c)5" for clarification. See our comment to such effect below. OPage 48, S.9763.9.4. (d). BIA Comment: Do not concur in the absolute language of this paragraph which limits the minimum distance between signs located on the same side of. the street as'300- fee't. The Outdoor-Advertising Act of 1967 issued by the Department of Public Highways and Division, of Highways permits the 100 feet distance between signs on Beach Boulevard (Highway 39). There are circumstances where .siggs should be permitted closer together than NO feet. Recommend that this paragraph be re-worded so that the door may'.be -left open for the Board of Zoning Adjustments to permit distances between signs down to but not less than 100 feet. 53 Page 49, S.9763.9.4. (d) ,(f). Concerning the Permit to be- effective for one year.or when "initial" sale, lease or rental is complete, whichever is sooner. To define "initial sale, etc.", suggest this be-worded as "effective for one year from date of issuance; or when the sale, lease or rental as defined in S.9763.9.4 (c) (Page 48) is complete. This comment assumes .that this last referenced definition on Page 48 will be clarified as suggested above to exclude bulk sales to developers, brokers, etc. ® Page 48, S.9763.9.4. (g). BIA Comment. Believe that a .simple "change of copy" is much too restrictive and severe as to require issuance of a new permit. There are many instances when simple copy changes are required, because of a change. in price or an opening of successive units in the same tract which should_ not require issuance of a new permit. . Recommend that this wording be changed as to require :issuance of a new permit when there is .a -change of developer or sign lessee and/or a change in tract. Staff and-.LAC concur with BIA, arid suggest.that this (g) be clarified to state that, this shall only apply to new projects and not to change of copy for an existing project._ Page 50, S.9763.9.4. (k). Mark Porter Comment re definition should be given O for "abutting street grade" and "average grade - street intersection". . This is to be changed to define this point of measurement as the nearest centerline point of the adjacent street. 5la Page 51, S.9763.9.7. Mark.Porter Comment requesting.'first paragraph be deleted. This paragraph allows. a sign that is non-conforming due to size to .remain for one year. We (IAC) object- to Mr. Porter's request. On the contrary we believe to be, consistent -and fair, that this section should be subject to the time provisions for sign conformation or removal as already provided in Sections 9762.4.1, through. 4 as modified by our changes set'. out herein. This is most important so as to allow-.for amortization of costs and to allow the City the -flexibility to extend certain uses of good quality non-objectionable signs when the best interest of all is so served. 57 Page 52, S.9763.9.8. Re Permit _Revocz.ion. Suggest a notice and reasonable time• to cure alleged violation be given. Such notice provision can be inserted after first sentence of this section. Page 58, S.9764.2.5. 1. Concerning the reference requirement (third sentence) to "penetrating" the frost line.. Is this possible (or admissible). in Southern 58 California, Huntington Beach? Recommend the last sentence of this section which contains this frost line reference, be deleted. O Pages 6.2, 63, 64, 662 concerning Projections. Are any of these requirements in this Structural Design and Construction Section of this Code in conflict with specific regulations re allowed projections, etc. , as found in earlier Sections of this'Code? Per discussion with Staff, they believed no conflict exists. Page 66, S.9764.7.2. Should not this provision (last sentence) require that these requirements be incorporated at the time that the sign is constructed Orather than at the time the building is constructed as it states? This change would. allow such roof signs on older existing buildings, if so desired, and not limit such signs to new buildings as it seems to indicate. Suggest deletion of. words, "and shall be erected at the time the building is constructed". Page 68, S.9764.10.1.

Effective November 8, 1967, all the basic provisions of that Act will be made applicable to advertising displays placed within 660 feet of the right-of-way of Federal interstate and Federal-aid primary highways within incorporated cities if the copy is visible from such highways . All such boards erected on or after November 8, 1967 , will require. a state outdoor advertising permit pursuant to the provisions of the 1967 Act. We have received inquiries from both the advertising industry and from local agencies that indicate some confusion as to the effect this law will have on the relationship be- tween state and local controls of billboards in cities . In amending the law, the Legislature clearly indicated that the state ' s interest in advertising displays located within cities is a limited one , and is not intended to pre-empt any of the present authority possessed by cities to regulate billboards . In this regard, Section 5288. 7 was added to the Business and Professions Code : "5288. 7. It is declared to be the intent of the Legislature in enacting the provisions of this chapter regulating advertising displays adjacent to highways included in the national system of interstate and defense highways or the Federal-aid primary highway system to establish minimum standards with respect thereto .

The governing body of any city, or city and county, may enact ordinances requiring licenses or permits , or both, for the placing of advertising displays in view of any highway, including a highway included in the national system of interstate and defense highways or the Federal-aid primary highway system, within its boundaries .

The sign requested by Melven Genser Outdoor Signs is presently located east of Warner Avenue and south of Orion Street. In its present location it is within the projected right-of-way of the extension of Marina View Lane. The Public Works department has requested this sign be relocated out of the required right-of-way. The permit for this sign expired December 22, 1967, and since it is located in the R-1 zone the request for repermitting is for- warded for approval. The sign requested by Craig Development Corporation is to be located in the rear yard of an unoccupied home at 20021 Midland Lane. The home is at the end of a cul-de-sac abutting occupied homes with the rear yard adjacent to Adams Avenue. On December 29, 1967, a complaint was received from an adjoining neighbor indicating that a sign was being erected at this location. Upon investigating, a "Stop Work" order was given to the Union Sign Company requiring all work in progress be ceased and proper permits obtained. In line with City Council policy the developer was requested to obtain permission to permit this sign in the R-1 zone. If you have any questions please contact this office.

Subsequent correspondence was directed to.my office be- cause of the request for financial participation in the ' work. Basing my recommendation on experience in similar situations, I forward the traffic report and correspondence pursuant, and recommend, in addition-to participation, widening of the intersecting city streets for a distance of 150 feet, more or less, each side of the state highway right-of-way. Expanding on nor observations in similar situ- ations, the following has been observed and can be expected to be experienced here as our streets carry more traffic. The solution to the relief of surface street traffic congestion is in providing ample storage for stopped vehicles at signalized intersections. While we may expect to carry 1000 to 1200 vehicles per hour, per lane on the open road, we cannot expect an intersection to handle such a volume unless widened to provide ample entrance and exit lanes. By providing this through intersection widening we can defer costly between inter- section improvements for many years. In many cases such a deferral will result in,improvemant of the between intersection roadway by others. While this will increase the cost of the work immediately under consideration by about $101000, to a M � Page 2 - Adams/39 total of about $20,000,, the cost of the improvement will be offset in cost by the savings in delay ex- perienced by the motorist. Additionally the accident occurrence as shown in the attached study will be reduced. If the City Council agrees in principal to the above recommendationjo a detailed estimate of cost can be made and the cost of this improvement can be financed with gas tax funds available in the next: fiscal year.

Gentlemen: The Legislative Action Committee of the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce, in reviewing proposed ordinances for the City of Huntington Beach, would call your attention to: Ordinance 1363, Section 8693, relating to signs. Two possible problem areas exist. 1. The provision which prohibits erection of any temporary directional sign within a residential zone or within 501 of any residential zone. This would seriously impair the advertising and promotional efforts of new tract developments. It would also preclude any signs within the sub-division or any other residentially zoned property. 2. The provision whereby no temporary directional sign shall be erected within 501 of any residence. Consideration should probably be given to excluding model home areas of new sub-divisions. Your consideration of this matter will be greatly appreciated, Yours truly, C.. E.

We applied through Columbia Outdoor Advertising Co. to erect the temporary directional sign and the Director of Building and Safety issued a permit to Columbia to allow them to erect the sign. Over two months later, we erected a sign at a cost of approximately $2, 200.00. A decision by the Planning Commission, several months later, requiring us to remove the sign we feel is un- reasonable and unfair because the sign does not violate any codes and because we complied with all of the requirements of the City in erecting the sign. We have had a long history of building homes in the City of Huntington Beach and we have enjoyed a pleasant working relationship with the City Administration for a long period of time and we hope to continue to do so. We feel this sign application. and subsequent erection of the sign at Adams and Bushard is an excellent example of our cooperation with the City. We explored many alternate locations for this directional sign and finally arrived at its present location as the only practical solution to bringing traffic to our newest subdivision. X 30 City Council City of Huntington Beach Page 2 The property owner on whose property the sign is located even took it upon himself to inquire of his near neighbors if they would object to such a sign being erected. He found that most of his neighbors did not find a temporary, attractive directional sign objectionable. We will be happy to supply you with color photographs of the completed directional sign to let you see for yourself the conservative and attractive appearance this particular sign possesses. Enclosed please find our check in the amount of $75 .00 to make application to appeal this decision.

The free-standing sign and the revolving sign located at the east end of the Municipal Beach are strictly commercial in nature and they relate to an adjacent concession known as Poore ' s. Incidentally, both these signs were partially de- stroyed during the last wind storm. The combination billboard - diredtional sign located at the east end of the Municip-al Beach and the sign at the west en- trance to the Municipal Beach both advertise a suntan lotion and the cost of- parking. These signs are there by virtue of an agreement between the City and Sea & Ski. There is a cancellation clause in the agreement. Further study reveals that property located at the northwest corner of Beach Blvd and Highway #1 is owned by- the State of California. Thus , the billboards located thereon are under State control. This brings us to another recommendation from the Planning Commission. At their February 1, 1966 , meeting they once again discussed the ULI recommendations on sign and billboard control along our beaches and main entry ways into Huntington Beach. It was noted that along the north side of Pacific Coast Highway, between the Santa Ana River and Beach Boulevard, TIN6'Tq,�, . Huntington Beach Planning Commission P. O. Boa 190 CO- p• Q City Hall Huntington Beach, California there are 60 individual signs. They are located on State property recently acquired for freeway purposes. In addition, along both sides of Beach Boulevard, between Pacific Coast Highway and Atlanta - Avenue, there are 20 individual signs. These signs are also located on State of California property. If you include the signs at the northwest corner of Beach Blvd and Highway #1 with those from Santa Ana River to Atlanta Avenue, you get a total of 83 under State Control. We are advised by the Property Management Section of the Division of High- ways that the State has a policy of allowing all existing structures to remain on freeway property until the freeway is constructed. However, signs present a different picture because of the national and state position on urban beautification and the City should deal directly with the State Highway Commission for their removal. Therefore, the Planning Commission recommends that your Honorable . Body adopt a resolution requesting removal of the billboards and send it directly to the State Highway Commission.

It was noted that there are several signs on the Municipal Beach and near the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Highway #1 that are controlled by the City. They are located on one of the main .entry ways into' Huntington Beach and their removal will certainly help to improve the City' s image. Your attention is drawn to the following: 1. -The billboards located at the northwest corner of Beach Boulevard and Highway #1. 2. The combination billboard and directional sign located . at the southwest corner of Beach Boulevard (extended) and Highway #1. 3. The free-standing sign and the revolving sign located at the east end of the Municipal Beach. 4.

At the time we :Wade the request we felt that they would be a definite advantage and hopefully help reduce speeds in the tract. However, last week I spoke at length with the safety engineer for the National Safety Council in Los Angeles, and with the Traffic Engineer for the Automobile Club of Southern California. The National Safety Council has no official position on these signs, but tends to feel that they may have some advantages. However,. the discussion centered around generalizations with no specific conclusions. The Automobile Club, although having no surveys to support their position, are on record as strongly opposed to such signs. Their reasons were given to me at the time of our conversation, and I consider them valid and substantial. We therefore thank you for your consideration of our proposal and the time spent by Mr. Wheeler regarding the project and respectfully ask that you turn down our request. Sincerely yours," Jack Green President cc; Jim Tdheeler, Public Works Department HOM E OWNERS Gomm weSt ASSOCIATfON HUNTINGTON BEACH CALIFORNIA September 26, 1965 [R:EFERRED Honorable Mayor COUNCIL Members of the City CouncilK" -T City of Huntington Beach tT 41965 Gentlemen: - .............. Early this year-a small child was struck and .killed by an auto -on Oxford Drive in the Golden West-tract. A few weeks later I spoke with Mr—Wheeler, Director of Public Works, regarding the possibility of having "Children At Play" signs erected at each entrance to the tract. This, of course, with the provision that. the Homeowners Association pay the entire cost of installation. I was primarily interested in learning the policy of the city regarding such signs, which are permitted in some of the best sections of other cities. Mr. -��Jheeler informed me that city policy permitted the signs to be erected on private property, but not in the parking. This would be of little or no value, as it would be difficult to see the signs .if they were placed away from the curbing. I did not pursue the matter further at that time. However, a few weeks ago, while passing the Recreation Center downtown, I noticed that there are signs in the parking, at each of the four approaches to the Center, warning of children in Fe area. From observing these signs, I assume that the city policy on the subject of such signs is not so set as I was led to believe. Therefore, on behalf of the Golden Idest Homeowners Association, I would like to receive permission from the Council to proceed with cost estimates for the erection of such signs, subject.to city standards for street signs. Tde believe that the safety of our children is all important, and anything that can be done to increase that safety is a worthwhile project. Ide realize that only a certain number of drivers react favorably to warning signs, but even when a small number of people thoughtlessly entering a residential section at a high rate of speed slow down as a result of the signs, they become worth the effort.

A total of 70 vehicles, 57 from Bolsa. Park and 13 from Cornell, were counted. Fifty-three of these vehicles appeared between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. During this half-hour, only five (5) children crossed. Most of the children, 52, crossed during the 8:00 to 8:15 period. Only 12 vehicles appeared during this quarter hour. Most of these vehicles contained children being transported to school. It can be seen from the above that the vehicles and the pedestrians are well separated in time, thereby minimizing conflicts. A study of accident records reveals no reported accidents since this area has been developed. Consideration of volumes and accidents leads to the judgement that marked crosswalks or stop signs are not necessary at this intersection. Misuse of stop signs will lead to disregard and a false sense of security on the part of many motorists. . Stop signs should be used to assign right- of-way not to control speed. It is recommended that the police continue their increased patrol of this area especially during late night hours when only enforcement will improve traffic conditions. Furthermore, it is recommended that the school caution children to stay on sidewalks and not to walk or play in the street. Very truly yours, James R.

AS THE SITUATION HAS PROGRESSED DURING THE PAST YEAR IT APPEARS THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE CITY COUNCIL_ HAVE ASSUMED OPPOSITE POSITIONS IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE SCHOOL BOARD HAS REQUESTED SOME TYPE OF CONTROL AND THE CITY COUNCIL BY ITS RECENT ACTION HAS INDICATED THAT NO CONTROLS ARE NECESSARY.

WE DO NOT FEEL V10`LATIONS OF THE LAW BY SOME MOTORISTS AND- PEDESTRIANS AT THIS INTERSECTION IS A VALID REASON FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE SIGNALS .

Dear Mr. Warvi The Director of Public wbrks reported at the December 7 meeting of the Huntington Beach City Council on your request for a four- way stop at Brookhurst and Garfield. The traffic engineering study (see copy attached) shows that the traffic count at this intersection does -not justify four way stops at this time. Periodic traffic counts will be made at this intersection for the purpose of more satisfactory traffic control. . On behalf of the Honorable Mayor and City Council may we tape this opportunity to thank you for your concern in matters of civic interest which have been brought to the attention of the City Council by your organization. Sincerely, Doyle Miller City Administrator DMIbwo oPY n: � NSINGTpNe CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Huntington Beach, California FC�UNTY �'� November 19, 1964 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council ATTENTION: Doyle Miller - City Administrator SUBJECT: Requested Four Way stop at Brookhurst and Garfield INTRODUCTION This intersection is controlled by a two-way stop stopping Garfield. A traffic count taken November 16 and 17, 1964 reveals that approximately 12,900 vehicles use Brookhurst in 24 hours while approximately 2700 vehicles use Garfield. This is an 83% to 17% split in total traffic in favor of Brookhurst. Accident records show that a total of 6 accidents have occurred here since January 1, 1964. Three of these were head-on type, one was a rear-end type and two were right-angle type. Both right-angle accidents involved eastbound and southbound vehicles. COMPARISON OF WARRANTS TO EXISTING CONDITIONS The following warrants have been adopted by the Traffic Engineering Council of Orange County and are in general use through- out this area. EXISTING WARRANT CONDITIONS la. Hourly traffic volume exceeding 500 vehicles per hour for 6 hours, and 1200 b. At least 40 percent of the total traffic entering from secondary street 17% 2. Five or more accidents susceptible of correction within a 12 month period 2 (in 14 months) It can be seen that the warrants are not close to being met. Stopping Brookhurst would cause a major hardship on an important cross-county route and would probably lead to .a rise in rear-end type accidents on Brookhurst. There is no engineering judgement which would justify. a four-way. stop. ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS An investigation of the warrants for a signal installation was made. None of the nationally accepted warrants (volume, ' interruption of continuous traffic, accidents) are met for as much as 60% of the required levels. Therefore, a signal is definitely not recommended at .this time. Surveillance and periodic checking of the intersection will be maintained so that a signal can.be installed when warranted. Field investigation at the intersection revealed that a shed in the right-of-way on Brookhurst north of Garfield presents a serious vision problem. It is difficult for an eastbound vehicle stopped at the stop sign to see southbound traffic more than 150 feet away. Both right-angle accidents involved eastbound and southbound vehicles. It is strongly recommended that this shed be removed from the right-of-way. The City of Fountain Valley has indicated that they will take action to remove this shed as soon as possible. RECONMENDATION It is recommended that, after removal of the vision hazard by Fountain Valley, periodic checks be made of the accidents and traffic volumes at this intersection. No action is recommended at present as no additional traffic control is warranted. L Director of t ublie Works _. cc: Marvin Haglund City Engineer, Fountain Valley p 11'a't HUNTINGTON=EAST' HOMEOWNER'S� ASSOCIATIONi, INC. October 28, 1964 Honorable Mayor and City Council This letter is in regards to the answer we received from Police Chief Seltzer about a stop signat the intersection of Brookhurst and Garfield. We feel because a survey was taken some time ago is not sufficient grounds to deny our request offf_a traffic survey now. In the past year large numbers of people have moved into- this area of Huntington Beachand Fountain Valley.. Zt. this time Brookhurst is like a freeway. School buses must cross Brookhurst in the afternoon.. This is a definite traffic hazard. The only way to get across is to. wait for someone to stop the traffic and let. you cross, or to dart- ' out when you.-THINK_ .you have achance. _ An.othe-rr_hazard is a pump _house on the west side of Brookhurst and North of Garfield. 'You .can't see the southbound traffic unless you roll out into the intersection. With the new Brookuart opening and a new shopping center soon to be built, the traffic problemwill increase. As I write this letter, an ambulanceis rushing another victim of an accident at this crossing to the hospital. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE ARE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE WE CAN GET SOME KIND OF TRAFFIC CONTROL AT THIS INTERSECTION? We hope to hear from you soon about this problem.

Adams & Main Gentlemen: Effective January 1, 1965 the portable signal at this location will be in violation of the Vehicle Code. Observations have been made and it appears that the signal is not necessary. Traffic flow at the time of use by school age pedestrians is of a nature and volume that provides more than sufficient opportunity for children to safely cross the street. Additionally, the following has been observed: 1. ' Motorists are caused undue delay by the fixed time cycle. 2. Motorists have been observed making illegal through and left turn movements against the RED when no traffic is approaching on the GREEN. 3. High School age pedestrians frequently do not observe the red phase. 4. Adults and children alike •(infrequently) do not use the marked cross walks. A lack of observance as indicated above is the re- sult of an improperly placed safety device. If a motorist or pedestrian is confronted by an apparently unreasonable situation he will make an independent decision and act even though a violation -of the control results. ,t Observations made on Sunday resulted in the same conclusions. It is the recommendation of the Director of Public Works that the portable signal be removed. After the removal the Traffic Engineer will study the intersection and determine what, if any, control will be needed in addition to the STOP on Adams. In conjunction with this we will of course give special attention to the needs of the elementary school age pedestrian. Very truly yours, awes R.
