FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL: 1. The proposed 4'-6" inch side yard setback does not exceed a ten percent (10%) deviation from the minimum required 5'-0" side yard setback applicable in the RL (Residential Low Density) base zoning district, pursuant to Section 210.06 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. 2. The proposed six (6) inch projection into the required 5'-0" side yard setback improves the design of the project by keeping the walls of the addition in line with that of the existing structure thus allowing the addition to appear as a part of the original construction of the house. The addition is located be- tween the two-story home and northerly side property and behind the existing garage. The northerly side property line is at angle; therefore the six-inch projection is limited to a small portion of the addi- tion. Compliance with the side yard setback would require that a substantial portion of the addition be constructed at an offset from the existing structure. 3. The proposed 4'-6" inch side yard setback 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 4'-6" inch side yard setback and interior improvement constructed within the garage without Building Permits, the proposed addition conforms to all applicable development standards, in- cluding maximum height, and minimum front and side yard setbacks. A condition is placed on the project requiring that all construction installed without permits shall require a Building Permit. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL NO. 04-02: The site plan, floor plan and elevations received and dated February 13, 2004, shall be the conceptually approved layout. i Mr. Francis/ AA 04-02 February 24, 2004 Page 4 of 4 INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS CONDITION: The owner of the property which is the subject of this project and the project applicant if different from the property owner, and each of their heirs, successors and assigns, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City of Huntington Beach and its agents, officers, and employees from any claim, action or proceedings, liability cost, including attorney's fees and costs against the City or its agents, officers or em- ployees, to attack, set aside, void or annul any approval of the City, including but not limited to any ap- proval granted by the City Council, Planning Commission, or Design Review Board concerning this pro- ject. The City shall promptly notify the applicant of any claim, action or proceeding and should cooperate fully in the defense thereof.
