ATTACHMENT NO. 1
FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL NO. 02-03
FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CE A:
The Department of Planning finds that the project will not have any significant effect on the environment
and is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sec-
tion 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines because the project consists of a minor alteration to an existing single
family dwelling.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL:
1. The proposed lot coverage of fifty-one and seven percent (51.7%) does not exceed a ten percent (10%)
deviation from the maximum allowed lot coverage of fifty percent (50%) applicable in the RL (Resi-
dential Low-Density) base zoning district, pursuant to Section 210.06 of the Huntington Beach Zoning
and Subdivision Ordinance.
2. The proposed atrium improves the design of the project by accentuating the entrance of the existing
single family home . In addition the project will improve drainage on the site by diverting rainwater to
rain gutters.
3. The proposed addition would not otherwise require any discretionary permits, and will not in any way
degrade the environment or result in any changes to land use. With the exception of the proposed
fifty-one and seven percent (51.7%) lot coverage, the proposed room addition conforms to all applica-
ble development standards, including maximum height and minimum front and side yard setbacks.
The proposed one and seven percent (1.7%) increase in lot coverage will not result in significant envi-
ronmental impacts since the proposed addition will be limited to one-story. The existing dwelling will
continue to be used for single-family residential purposes.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL NO. 02-03:
1. The site plan, floor plan and elevations received and dated June 20, 2002, shall be the conceptually
approved layout with the following modifications:
a. Lot coverage calculations on Sheet Al shall be revised to reflect total building footage of
2,586 sq. ft.
2. The applicant and/or applicant's representative shall be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all
plans and information submitted to the City for review and approval.
