City of Huntington Beach Page 7 of 3 Printed on 2242022 :c"s Mdelstar File #: 22-153 MEETING DATE: 3/1/2022 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 NOES: None ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: None MOTION PASSED D. STAFF ANALYSIS: The January 11, 2022, Planning Commission staff report provides a more detailed description and City of Huntington Beach Page 2 of 3 Printed on 2/24/2022 pomere7fi9 Lepista,' File #: 22-153 MEETING DATE: 3/1/2022 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.

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.

PROJECT PROPOSAL: 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. 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 City of Huntington Beach Page 2 of B Printed on 1/7/2022 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. FIGURE 2 HUNTINGTON BEACH GHG EMISSIONS BY SECTOR,2005 AND 2012 800.000 700.000 600.000 500.000 m O 400,000 U i 300.000 200,000 0 100,000 m g o _� .0 Ree4enaal bud Nonresac, :.a. ��a: >;..i wl�.:�� 01l4oao Sold waste ',Vat«arid al onw,ng M1id111rt Grit equipnent wasimaref ellrrotlnient ■2005 ■2012 Source 0e1a corrp*d by PMC 12014) 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). City of Huntington Beach Page 4 of 8 Printed on lf72022 _..,_ .at __,S.A. 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 and approval of a conditional use permit by the Zoning Administrator. Off-site electronic readerboards as part of an electric vehicle charging station may be permitted subject to building permit and compliance with criteria in 233.14 F. Approval of all other electronic readerboard signs shall be subject to the following criteria A. through E.: A. Required Findings. Prior to approving a conditional use permit to allow a multiple user electronic readerboard sign, the Zoning Administrator shall make the following findings: 1 . The proposed electronic readerboard sign conforms with the standards and criteria as set forth in the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance; 2. The proposed electronic readerboard sign will not adversely impact traffic circulation in adjacent right-of-way or create a hazard to vehicle or pedestrian traffic. B. Multiple User Readerboard Sign Criteria. 1. Multiple user electronic readerboard signs may be located at a site which is not the location of any of the parties using the sign for advertising. 2. Multiple user electronic readerboard shall be freestanding. 3. The maximum sign area shall be 1,200 square feet. 4. The maximum height of a multiple user readerboard sign shall be 85 feet. 5. The multiple user readerboard shall have cylinders or directional incandescent lamps and have a shade screen or louver system, a shade screen and a photocell for reducing the intensity of lighting at night. C. Lighting Standards. 1 . The maximum night time light intensity and illuminance shall conform to the following: City of Huntington Beach Page 5 of 8 Printed on 1r/2022 oo.verec'82-Leq,var;v File #: 22-024 MEETING DATE: 1/11/2022 Maximum Night Time Intensity Height from Ground (in feet) 5 10 20 30 0 70 5 Max.

Illuminance (foot- .3 2.0 1 .0 candles) The maximum night time illuminance shall be measured at the receptor site, at ground level, by a direct reading, portable light meter. Measurements shall not be made within one hour after sunset or before sunrise. 2. Illuminance shall be determined by the difference between a reading taken with the sign on and another reading taken within three minutes with the sign off. 3. An illuminance chart shall be prepared by a licensed engineer and submitted to the Director for approval prior to installation. Conformance with this section shall be verified by actual measurements made, as specified herein, after installation. The method of measurement and results shall be subject to approval of the Director. D. Location Requirements. 1. A multiple user readerboard shall be located no farther than 200 feet from a freeway. 2. The minimum distance between multiple user readerboards shall be 1,000 feet. 3. The sign shall be a minimum distance of 600 feet from residential properties. E. Other Standards. 1. No off-site electronic readerboard will be permitted except for multiple users. 2. At least 20% of the message time, or any percentage deemed necessary by the City for emergency conditions shall be used for public service announcements. 3. Messages in a multiple user sign shall be no faster than one message every four seconds and the minimum interval between messages shall be at least one second. 4. Light intensity changes (other than between day and night uses) are not permitted. F. Electronic Vehicle Charging Station Sign (EVCSS) Standards. 1. The EVCSS shall have a maximum of two (2) sides and a maximum of nine (9) square feet of signage on each side. The maximum height of an EVCSS is five (51 feet and shall be designed with a solid monument type base and integrated into the EV charging station. 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.

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. Urban Design Guidelines Conformance: Not applicable 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.
