FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT NO. 09-001:
1. The proposed project improves the design of the building with the incorporation of two un-
derutilized patio areas into a functional space utilized by an attached two unit building. The
proposed project, in addition to the exterior improvements will be compatible in the design,
colors and materials of the existing building. The project will not be a detriment to surround-
ing properties because it involves a minor enlargement of bedrooms. The project will com-
ply with development requirements of the base zoning district in terms of minimum yard
setbacks, maximum building height, maximum lot coverage, and maximum floor area ratio.
2. The proposed addition will be a compatible continuation of the building's north, east, and
west building facades. The addition will be enclosed within the second floor roof volume
and will not raise the overall height of the existing building.
3. The existing nonconforming building consists of 2,800 square feet; whereas, the new addi-
tion will increase the structure to 3,080 square feet. The alterations will increase the floor
area by 280 square feet or 10 percent, which is under the maximum 10 percent as required
by the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance.
