FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL: 1. The proposed lot coverage of 52.3% resulting from the construction of a 415 sq. ft. second story addi- tion to an existing single family home with an overhanging hallway does not exceed a ten percent (10%) deviation from the maximum allowed lot coverage of 50% applicable in the RMH-A (Residen- tial Medium High Density) base-zoning district, pursuant to Section 210.06 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. _ 2. The proposed 52.3% lot coverage will facilitate the expansion and facade improvement of an existing single-family home. The Facade improvement consists of a new stucco finish for the entire structure, window treatments, and roof over the addition. 3. The proposed reconstruction 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 pro- posed 52.3% lot coverage, the proposed addition conforms to all applicable development standards, including maximum height, and minimum front and side yard setbacks.
