The property was pre-zoned C-1 (Retail Commercial) to coincide with the uses fronting on Newport Avenue. The owners are now requesting authorization to reconstruct the entire site from the existing use of the service station to two fueling service islands along with a convenience store (which will permit the cashier to control the dispensing of fuel products) and a self-service carwash. The applicant is also requesting authorization to change the following signs: A freeway identification sign now exists on the rear of the property which is fifty (50) feet in height. This sign was allowed by a variance twenty years ago from the Orange County Planning Commission. They are now proposing to change this freeway sign to a more contemporary facing of approximately the same size (200 square feet) and the same height (50 feet). A pole sign now exists on the Newport Avenue frontage which is fifteen (15) feet in height. The applicant is proposing to install a new pole sign of forty-two (42) square feet with pricing attached (another thirty square feet). Recently two pole signs have been approved for similar uses on Newport Avenue which were twenty-seven (27) and thirty-two (32) square feet respectively. Staff recommends that the pole sign not exceed 32 square feet plus pricing signs. The applicant will present some sign sketches at the public hearing.
