I. Public Hearing - Proposed Freeway Sign Control Ordinance
A freeway sign control ordinance is required to be adopted before the State
Division of Highways will proceed with landscaping of freeways within the City
Limits of the City of Seal Beach. Mr. Crowley moved that the Planning Commission
approve the Proposed Freeway Sign Control Ordinance and recommend its adoption
by the City Council. Seconded by Mrs. Lanning and passed unanimously. Resolution
No. 75.
II. Zoning of the Pacific Electric Right-of-Way
.
Since the Pacific Electric Railroad will cease operation on September 1, 1966 and
the right-of-way property will revert to various property owners, it is imperative
for the best interests of the community to prevent undesirable development. Mr.
Murphy moved that the Planning Commission approve as an emergency action the
establishment of an "Interim Zone" on the property known as the Pacific Electric
right-of-way which would require a Conditional Use Permit for any proposed use
and to recommend adoption by the City Council. Mr. Jones seconded the motion and
it passed unanimously. Resolution No. 76.
III. General Plan
Two sections of the General Plan were referred back to the Planning Commission
by the City Council with suggestions for f~rther consideration.
One area on the Hellman Ranch south of the existing flood control retarding basin
and north of the proposed Coastal Freeway is presently indicated as a high density
residential area. This should be changed to show this area as an industrial park
for research and development as a compatible use with the North American Aviation,
Inc. complex. The other area of consideration is the section bounded by Pacific
Coast Highway, 5th Street and Marina Drive surrounding the Sewage Disposal Plant
and City Yard. This is presently indicated as a commercial area and should be
changed to show' a medium density residential area except for a green belt adjoining
the Pacific Coast Highway. A list of other minor corrections was made. Mr.
Crowley moved that the above corrections be incorporated in the General Plan.
Seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimo~sly. Resolution No. 77.
IV. Other Business

undesirable businesses a public nuisance. He then moved that the City Manager
