WHEREAS, in the matter of Use Variance Application No. UV-1-65, the Planning
Commission of the City of Seal Beach does report as follows:
1.

Subject proposal is for establishment of facilities for the handling, treating
and shipping of oil and gas on a 1 acre site which is a portion of a larger
parcel owned by Humble and Texaco. Said larger parcel is a 5 acre parcel
adjacent to East property line of City of Los Angeles Department of Water and
Power right-of-w~y &" bounded on the North by Pacific Electric Railway Co.
right-of-way and bounded on the South by Marina Drive at its intersection
with Central Avenue and First Street. The exact description of the one acre
parcel is as follows:

County Superior Court, Case No. 13527, and recorded in Deed Book 14, Page 31,

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission findings are as follows:
1. The 1 acre parcel intended for the proposed use is a portion of a larger parcel
presently owned by the two oil companies listed above. A portion of the larger
parcel is presently used by said oil companies for facilities similar in nature
and purpose to the facilities proposed by Standard Oil. The existing operation
has ~ been a nuisance to the public.
2. The existing zoning of the parcel is C-l, which does not include oil handling
facilities as an allowable use. The use was allowable at the time that the
Humble and Texaco operation was established.
3. Subject to the condition that no operations be established which would be a
public nuisance or which would be significantly different in nature or method
of operation than the existing facilities operated by Humble and Texaco, the
proposed use is found to be acceptable.
