FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL: 1. The proposed four-foot six-inch side and rear yard setbacks do not exceed ten percent deviation from the five-foot side and rear yard setbacks applicable to detached accessory structures in the RL (Resi- dential Low-Density) base zoning district. 2. The requested waiver improves the design of the project by increasing the usable yard area, while en- suring no detrimental impacts to surrounding properties. The gazebo roof will encroach 14 inches into the required setbacks, whereas the Huntington Beach Zoning & Subdivision Ordinance allows projec- tions up to 30 inches. 3. Notwithstanding the request for a six-inch reduction in side and rear setbacks, the proposed gazebo does not require approval of any discretionary permits, and will not in any way degrade the environ- ment or result in any changes to land use. With the exception of the proposed four-foot six-inch side and rear yard setbacks, the proposed gazebo conforms to all applicable development standards, includ- ing maximum lot coverage, maximum height, and minimum separation between structures.
