October 12, 1976
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: C.U.P. 76-23
716-722 WEST HUNTINGTON DRIVE
815 SOUTH BALDWIN AVENUE
APPLICATION
This application was filed on September 27, 1976 by Maxwell
Starkman & Associates on behalf of Great Western Savings and
requests a conditional use permit and certain modifications to
construct a savings and loan with a drive-up teller window at
722-716 Huntington Drive and 815 South Baldwin Avenue.
LAND USE AND ZONING
The subject site comprises four lots; the property at 722 West
Huntington Drive is vacant and zoned C-O D. The properties at
716 West Huntington and 815 South Baldwin are vacant and
developed with the temporary headquarters of the Great Western
Savings and Loan, respectively, and zoned C-2. The fourth lot
contains 1,600 square fee~, is vacant and zoned C-2. Properties
to the north are zoned C-O D and developed with a service station
and vacant lot. Properties. to the east are zoned C-2 and
developed with a service sta~ion and restaurant and mixed
commercial uses. Properties to the south are zoned c-o D and
C-2 and developed with a vacant lot, residential uses and mixed
commercial uses, respectively. Properties to the west are zoned
c-o D and R-3 and developed with a single-family dwelling and
apartments. (See the attached land use and zoning map.)
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to construct a savings and loan build-
ing with a drive-up teller window on approximately 52,698 square
feet of property. The property would have 160 feet of street
frontage along Huntington Drive and 86.75 feet of street
frontage along Baldwin Avenue.
The building will be located on four lots; three of the lots will
be consolidated (see L-76-l8), and the fourth lot, 815 South
Baldwin, will be leased.
.
.
C.U.P. 76-23
2
.
The building will contain 9,055 square feet (ground floor area
and mezzanine) and will be 33 feet in height. The drive-up
teller window will be located on the south side of the building.
Setbacks
The applicant is requesting a 20-foot setback from the Huntington
Drive property line (35 feet from curb) in lieu of 35 feet
required (50 feet from curb). The property to the west is zoned
C-O D and developed with a house which is set back 50 feet from
the property line (65 feet from the curb). Apartment units
located at 728-738 and 760-766 Huntington Drive are set back
25 feet from the property line (40 feet from the curb). These
apartments received modifications to the special setback require-
ment in 1964 (M-64-28 and M-64-l06). These are the only apart-
ment buildings located between Hungate and Baldwin Avenue on the
south side of the street. The remainder of the block is
single-family residential. The service station east of the
proposed savings and loan has a setback of approximately 15 feet
from the property line (25 feet from the curb), which complies
with the special setback for that property.
.
The Planning Department believes that a modification for a 20-foot
setback as requested by the applicant could set a precedent
for future development of the' prpperty at 728 Huntington Drive.
The Planning Dep~rtment recommends a 25-foot setback from the
property line which is consistent with the apartments to the
west.
All other setback requirements have been complied with.
Signing
The applicant is requesting the following sign modifications:
1. West elevation -- L~quest a~ 155 square foot illuminated
wall sign on the c-o portion of the building in lieu of
no signing allowed.
2. South elevation -- request 22.5 square feet of illuminated
wall sign to overlap on a portion of the building located
in the C-O zone.
3. Request 235.5 square feet of free-standing sign on
Huntington Drive and 42 square feet of illuminated sign on
Baldwin Avenue in lieu of 150 square feet total signing
allowed.
.
As noted, the proposed site has two different zonings: c-o D and
C-2. Seventy feet of the building will be located in the C-2
zone and 35 feet in the c-o zone.
.
.
C.t,!.P. 76-23
3
.
The C-O zone permits wall signs on the building front only.
The wall sign requested on the west elevation is not permitted
by Code. The Planning Department does not ~elieve it is
necessary for the sign to be located on this side of the build-
ing because the recommended building setba'ck of 25 feet from
the property line (40 feet from curb) would obscure the sign
from eastbound traffic. Also, the 24-foot pylon sign would have
east/west visibility on Huntington Drive.
The Planning Department does not believe there is a significant
problem in permitting 22.5 square feet of the sign on the south
elevation to be located on the portion of the building located
in the C-O zone.
.
Based on the frontage of the C-2 zoned property on Huntington
Drive, Code would allow free-standing signs not exceeding a
total of 150 square feet.
The applicant is proposing two signs totaling 277.5 square feet.
One pylon sign would be located on the easterly portion of
716 Huntington Drive and contain 235.5 square feet. The other, a
monument sign would be located on Baldwin Avenue and contain
42 square feet.
If both frontages on the Huntington Drive lots (716 zoned C-2
and 722 zoned C-O D) were used to calculate sign area, a total
of 200 square feet of signing would be allowed.
The Planning Department recommends approval of a modification
to allow 200 square feet of free-standing sign on Huntington
Drive to be located on the C-2 zoned property.
Because of the configuration of the site and the distance of the
Baldwin Avenue frontage from the Huntington Drive frontage, the
Planning Department would recommend approval of the 42 square
foot monument sign to be located on Baldwin Avenue.
Parking, Landscaping, etc.
The building requires 55 parking spaces; 71 are proposed. Ingress
and egress to the parking lot will be from Huntington Drive and
Baldwin Avenue.
.
The applicant is requesting that the temporary Great Western
building located at 815 South Baldwin be permitted to remain
until their new building is constructed, at which time the
temporary building would be removed and the remainder of the
parking area developed. This request would not create a parking
deficiency.
The temporary building should be removed within 30 days after
the opening of the new building and the parking developed as
per the attached plans.
.
.
.
C.!J.P. 76-23
4
A covenant approved by the City Attorney should be recorded in
the County Recnrder's office guaranteeing that the parking
located on this site (815 Baldwin) shall be maintained for the
use of the savings and loan.
Landscaping exceeds Code requirements. The trash enclosure
will be located at the southwest corner of the site.
the design overlay for the property requires that a 6-foot high
wall be located along the rear lot line of the C-O zoned
property. A 4-foot high wall exists along the south property
line of 815 Baldwin. The PI anning Department recommends that
a 6-foot high wall be constructed along the remainder of the
southerly property line adjacent to the parking area.
.
Pursuant to the provision of the California Environmental
Quality Act, the Planning Department reviewed the proposed
conditional use permit and determined that the proposal would
not have a significant effect on the environment. A Negative
Declaration has been prepared and filed for this project.
The Planning Commission in its approval or denial of the
proposed conditional use permit must make the determination
that the proposed project would or would not have a substantial
adverse impact on the environment.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Department recommends approval of C.U.P. 76-23,
subject to the following conditions:
1. Conditions outlined in the attached report from the Depart-
ment of Public Works shall be complied with to the satis-
faction of the Director of Public Works.
2. That a modification be granted for a 25-foot setback from
the property line on Huntington Drive in lieu of 35 feet
required (40 feet from curb line in lieu of 50 feet

3. That a modification be granted to allow a 200 square fobt
free-standing sign on the C-2 zoned property on Huntington
Drive in lieu of 150 square feet allowed and that a

.
4. That a modification be granted to allow 22.5 square feet of
wall sign on th~ rear of the building in the c-o zone.
5. That a lot consolidation be filed for the three lots on
