B. BACKGROUND:
Electric vehicles and electric vehicle charging stations have become more prevalent in the City in
recent years. Building permit applications for publicly accessible electric vehicle charging stations
are often proposed within parking lots at commercial shopping centers. Most of these charging
stations are provided by independent contractors and provide charging services to the user for a
fee. Some charging stations are operated at no cost to the user, especially when the installation
is funded via grants. In other cases, when the electric charging services are provided for free to
the driver, the independent contractor earns revenue by providing off-site advertising in LED
message boards within the charging unit itself. The LED message boards typically face the public
areas of the shopping center, allow the independent contractor to sell advertising, and
subsequently provide the charging services at no cost.
The advertising associated with these electric vehicle charging stations is in conflict with the
provisions of the zoning code because off-premises signs, including billboards or advertising
structures installed for the purpose of advertising a project, subject or business unrelated to the
premises upon which the sign is located, are currently prohibited.
On the other hand, signs manufactured as a standard, integral part of a mass-produced product
accessory or display structure including vending machines, automated teller machines, and
gasoline pumps are exempt from sign permit requirements. These types of product or display
structure signs are not restricted by content and no fee, permit or application is required.
C. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND RECOMMENDATION:
On January 11, 2022, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the ZTA. There were no
written public comments received for the public hearing. The Planning Commission had a general
discussion about the proposed standards and whether it was appropriate to regulate the price that
the operator can charge for the service being provided. The Planning Commission recommended
approval of the request to the City Council.
Planning Commission Action on January 11 , 2022:
A motion made by Rodriguez, seconded by Scandura, to recommend to the City Council approval
of ZTA No. 21-006 carried by the following vote:
AYES: Adams, Rodriguez, Acosta-Galvan, Perkins, Mandic, Scandura, Ray

analysis of the proposed ZTA (Attachment No. 4). In summary, staff and the Planning Commission
recommend approval of the ZTA based on the following reasons:
1. It is consistent with general land use and environmental resources goals and policies of the
General Plan.
2. The revenue derived from advertising allows the electric vehicle charge to be free to
consumers.
Environmental Status:
ZTA No. 21-006 is categorically exempt pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 20,
which supplements the California Environmental Quality Act, because minor amendments to zoning
ordinances that do not change the development standards intensity or density, are exempt.

FINDINGS OF APPROVAL
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 21-006
FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA:
Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 21-006 is categorically exempt pursuant to City Council
Resolution No. 4501, Class 20, which supplements the California Environmental Quality Act
because minor amendments to ordinances that do not change the development standards
intensity or density, are exempt. ZTA 21-006 amends the signage standards for electric vehicle
charging stations and does not change development intensity or density.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 21-006:
1 . Zoning Text Amendment No. 21-006 to amend Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinance (HBZSO) Section 233.08 to add signs on electric vehicle charging stations to the
list of Readerboard signs is consistent with general land uses, programs, goals, and policies
of the General Plan as follows:
Land Use Element
Goal LU-11 — Commercial land uses provide goods and services to meet regional and local
needs.
Policy LU-11 (A) — Encourage a variety of commercial uses that cater to local and regional
demand to create an environment that meets the needs and increases the capture of sales
tax revenues.
Environmental Resources and Conservation Element
Goal ERC-13 — Increase both distributed generation and utility renewable energy sources
within municipal and community-wide practices.
Policy ERR-13 (B) — Encourage renewable energy options that are affordable and benefit all
community members.
Circulation Element
Goal CIRC-8 — Planning and infrastructure support electric and alternative fuel vehicles
through power or fueling stations and other means.
As electric vehicle production and ownership expands within the City, charging stations
conveniently located within commercial shopping centers meets the needs of both visitors and
residents alike. The revenue derived from the advertising allows the charge to be minimal or
Attachment %. 1.1
free to the electric vehicle owner. This encourages electric vehicle ownership, which helps
reduce carbon emissions and is good for the environment.
2. Zoning Text Amendment No. 21-001 is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the
standards prescribed for, the zoning district for which it is proposed because it does not
propose any new land uses and only minimally revises development standards in the narrow
category of signage.
3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed because electric vehicles are
gaining in popularity and the ZTA will allow providers to derive revenue from advertising and
provide the charge at minimal or no cost to the electric vehicle owner.
4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning
practice because other readerboard type signs are allowed to have off-site advertising. In this
case, the electric charge will be nominal or free to the public because the provider can derive
revenue from the advertising sales.

structures installed for the purpose of advertising a project, subject or business unrelated to the
premises upon which the sign is located, are currently prohibited.
On the other hand, signs manufactured as a standard, integral part of a mass-produced product
accessory or display structure including vending machines, automated teller machines, and gasoline
pumps are exempt from sign permit requirements. These types of product or display structure signs
are not restricted by content and no fee, permit or application is required.
On August 10, 2021 . staff presented a suggested Zoning Text Amendment to add electric vehicle
charging stations signs to the list of mass-produced product or display structures that are exempt
from sign permit requirements.
Previous Public Hearing:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the request on August 10, 2021 . There
was no one who spoke during the meeting. The Planning Commission raised several concerns with
the proposal to exempt the EV charging stations signs from permit requirements as they determined
that EV charging station signs were not similar to gasoline dispensary signs.
Instead, the Planning Commission expressed a desire to regulate and limit the size, lighting, sound,
location, and number of the off-premise advertising signs. Staff evaluated the Planning

oo,erec89 Legmtar"-
File #: 22-024 MEETING DATE: 1/11/2022
Commission's comments and is returning with a newly proposed sign ordinance to capture the
Planning Commission's concerns.
Staff now recommends incorporating EV charging station signs into the already existing zoning code
section for Readerboard Signs, which allow for off-premise advertising on an electronic screen in
certain circumstances.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS:
General Plan Conformance:
The ZTA is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan as follows:
Land Use Element
Goal LU-11 - Commercial land uses provide goods and services to meet regional and local needs.
Policy LU-11 (A) - Encourage a variety of commercial uses that cater to local and regional demand to
create an environment that meets the needs and increases the capture of sales tax revenues.
Environmental Resources and Conservation Element
Goal ERC_13 - Increase both distributed generation and utility renewable energy sources within
municipal and community-wide practices.
Policy ERR-13 (B) - Encourage renewable energy options that are affordable and benefit all
community members.
Circulation Element
Goal CIRG8 - Planning and infrastructure support electric and alternative fuel vehicles through
power or fueling stations and other means.
As electric vehicle production and ownership expands within the City, charging stations conveniently
located within commercial shopping centers meets the needs of both visitors and residents alike.
The revenue derived from the advertising allows the charge to be free to the electric vehicle owner.
This incentive encourages electric vehicle ownership, which helps reduce carbon emissions and is
good for the environment.
The Planning Commission raised reasonable sign pollution and related aesthetic concerns. Land
use regulations often entail a critical analysis of tradeoffs between different policy objectives. The
proposed modifications to the sign code do enable vehicle charging stations to include a mini-
electronic billboard of sorts and conduct offsite advertising. Cities in general, and the City of
Huntington Beach in particular, have not favored such sign clutter for multiple reasons.
Reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) has been an issue of statewide concern since 2005 when
then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order (EO) S-3-05, declaring that California
is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change through reductions in the Sierra Nevada snowpack (a
City of Huntington Beach Page 3 of 8 Printed on t!7/2022
powerec90 Lepis;ar"'
File #: 22-024 MEETING DATE: 1/11/2022
major source of water for the state), reduced air quality, and rising sea levels. EO S-3-05 also sets
the following GHG reduction goals for the state:
• Reduce emissions to 2000 levels by 2010
• Reduce emissions to 1990 levels by 2020
• Reduce emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050
Numerous assembly bills and senate bills aimed at identifying and reducing sources of GHG have
subsequently become effective in California. In particular, vehicle emissions have been identified as
a primary source of greenhouse gases. The figure below, from the recent General Plan update,
illustrates Transportation, defined as on-road vehicle trips that begin and/or end in Huntington Beach,
as the single largest contributor to GHG emissions in the city.

As another example, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), in January 2012, approved the
Advanced Clean Cars program, an emissions-control program for model years 2017 through 2025.
The program combines the control of smog, soot, and GHGs with requirements for greater numbers
of zero-emission vehicles. By 2025, when the rules will be fully implemented, the new automobiles
will emit 34 percent fewer global warming gases and 75 percent fewer smog-forming emissions. The
program also requires car manufacturers to offer for sale an increasing number of zero-emission
vehicles each year, including battery electric, fuel cell, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. In
December 2012, CARB adopted regulations allowing car manufacturers to comply with California's
GHG emissions requirements for model years 2017-2025 through compliance with the EPA GHG
requirements for those same model years (GARB 2012).

File #: 22-024 MEETING DATE: 1/11/2022
With the advent of these and other bills, electric vehicles and the need for charging stations
throughout the City will become more prevalent. Encouraging electric vehicles by making ownership
more affordable will further assist in reduction of GHG. Expansion of the charging station network in
turn can make vehicle ownership more convenient, practical, and affordable. In this particular case,
due to the State's objectives and other General Plan objectives achieved (see above list) by allowing
these electronic signs for offsite advertising, the tradeoffs are worthy of Planning Commission
consideration.
Zoning Compliance:
The signs associated with electric vehicle charging stations are typically reader board type signs and
include a revolving message/advertising display. They are usually proposed in commercial center
parking lots and the LED signs are visible to users of the property such as e-vehicle owners charging
their vehicle and other visitors and pedestrians at the shopping center (see example in Attachment
No. 4). By including such signs in the list of Readerboard Signs, the electric vehicle charging station
operator can sell advertising and then provide the charge free or with a nominal fee to customers.
ZTA 21-006 includes the following amendments, in bold underlined blue typeface, to HBZSO
Section 233.14 Readerboard Signs-Multiple Users:
233.14 Readerboard Signs-Multiple Users
Off-site electronic readerboard signs may be permitted subject to review by the Design Review Board

2. All EVCSS shall be located at the head of each parking stall and oriented toward
the single vehicle user and/or adjacent sidewalk. The EVCSS shall maintain a
minimum 10 feet by 10 feet visibility triangle at the foot of each parking stall. The
City of Huntington Beach Page 6 of 8 Printed on 1/7/2022
mo erec4j Legistar°
File #: 22-024 MEETING DATE: 1/11/2022
EVCSS shall not encroach into the required parking stall dimensions. If located
within a landscaped area, any required landscaping shall be replaced.
3. Only static or still pictures and images are permitted on the EVCSS; moving
video type images are not permitted.
4. No audio or sound components are permitted on the EVCSS.
5. The EVCSS shall be located a minimum of 150 feet from any residential property
line or residential use.
6. The EVCSS screen shall dim by at least 50% between 8:00 pm and 8:00 am.

8. An EVCSS with Level 1 (approximately 120 volt outlet) and Level 2 Chargers
(approximately 240 volt outlet) shall be provided free of charge to the public
consumer; Level 3 Direct Current Fast Chargers (approximate range in output from 50
kW to 350 kW) may include a fee to the consumer.
9. Each EVCSS shall comply with 233.14 C. Lighting Standards.
10. Each EVCSS shall comply with 233.14 E. Other Standards.
11. Electric vehicle charging stations, which include readerboard signage granted
under this section, shall be in operational working condition at all times and, at a
minimum, available for use during regular business hours. When an electric vehicle
charging station is not operational for 14 consecutive days, it shall be considered to
have been removed from service. If removed from service, the EVCSS shall be
removed from the site and the parking spaces shall be returned to their original
condition within 30 days.
Presently, signs included on EV charging stations are not addressed in the HBZSO and therefore are
prohibited. Establishing the above regulations as part of the readerboard sign section of the code
provides parameters for size, location, height, and frequency of messaging while allowing for off-site
advertising to occur. The proposed revisions to Chapter 233, Signs, are responsive to the Planning
Commission's comments at the August 10, 2021 public hearing.
