Request: To enclose and convert an existing cabana structure into a storage
room.
Location: 18945 Evening Breeze Circle
Dear Mr. Thornton:
The Planning Department has completed the review of your application for Initial Plan,
Zoning & Review received on December 13, 2001. The comments provided are limited
to Planning Department review only and are based on the information provided on the
application and submitted plans. Please note, additional issues which may be of concern
to other departments are not addressed as a part of this application. Specifically, we
encourage you to contact the Building and Safety Department to discuss your proposal.
The following is provided for your information.
The project site is located within the RL-1 (Low Density Residential) district of the
Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan. The proposed conversion of the existing cabana to a fully
enclosed storage room generally complies with the development standards of the Holly-
Seacliff Specific Plan and the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. The
proposed storage room is considered an accessory structure and complies with applicable

setbacks and building heights. Please note, the use of the proposed storage room for
purposes other than storage may require application of zoning and Uniform Building
Code requirements that cannot be complied with.
A portion of the cabana/storage room is located within an active fault zone and is
regulated by the Alquist-Priolo Fault Zoning Act. The Act is intended to prohibit the
location of structures for human occupancy across the trace of active faults in order to
minimize the loss of life and property in the event of an earthquake. A structure for
human occupancy is defined as any structure used or intended for supporting or
sheltering any use or occupancy, which is expected to have a human occupancy rate of
more than 2,000 person hours per year.
The conversion of the cabana to a storage room falls below the threshold of 2,000 person
hours per year and does not constitute as a structure intended for human occupancy.
Consequently, the use of the structure is limited to that of a storage room and is
prohibited from being utilized for human occupancy (e.g., home office, guest room, play
room, etc.)
Please note that this letter is not an approval of your proposal. You are required to
submit plans for plan check review. The plan check process may result in corrections to
your plans prohibiting improvements within the storage room that may encourage the use
of the structure for human occupancy such as plumbing, gas, and/or electrical
connections.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to call me at (714) 374-1682.
Thank You,
