A request to build and operate a digital display billboard facing the San Diego (405) Freeway in Westminster goes before the planning commission when it meets Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in webconference.

The address of the proposed billboard is 7130 Fenwick Lane, which is located northeast of Bolsa Avenue and Goldenwest Street, near Westminster Mall.

The applicant, Outdoor Associates, LLC, is asking for a conditional use permit and a variance. The billboard is planned to be V-shaped, with both sides facing the freeway. The variance is requested because the proposed device would have a 55-foot height, and the city code puts a 35-foot height limit on billboards.

Also on the agenda is a proposed zone text amendment that would allow homes with an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory unit to expand driveways an additional five feet in width to create three off-street parking places.
