ATTACHMENT NO. I
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT NO. 07-016:
1. The proposed lot coverage of 51.9% percent does not exceed a 10% deviation from the
maximum allowed lot coverage of 50% applicable in the RL-CZ (Residential Low Density -
Coastal Zone) zoning district, pursuant to Section 210.06 of the Huntington Beach Zoning
and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO).
2. The waiver of development standards improves the project design by providing additional
architectural articulation to enhance the exterior of the building. The enclosure will
incorporate angled walls and windows under the existing roofline to minimize the bulk and
mass of the rear elevation. The project also adds interior usable space to improve the
circulation of the existing single family home, while minimally impacting lot coverage and
maintaining adequate open space on the lot.
3. The proposed enclosure would not otherwise require any discretiona ry permits, and will not
in any way degrade the environment or result in any changes to land use or density. The
HBZSO allows for a solid patio cover open on at least two sides, an additional 5 percent site
coverage. By enclosing the patio cover, the coverage exceeds the allowable 50 percent,
thus necessitating a waiver of development standards. With the exception of the proposed
51.9 percent lot coverage, the proposed patio enclosure conforms to all applicable
development standards, including maximum height, minimum yard setbacks and required
on-site parking.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT NO. 07-016:
1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated August 7, 2007, shall be the
conceptually approved layout.
2. Prior to submittal for building permits conditions of approval shall be printed verbatim on one
of the first three pages of all the working drawing sets used for issuance of building permits
(architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical and plumbing) and shall be referenced in the
sheet index. The minimum font size utilized for printed text shall be 12 point.

different from the property owner, and each of their heirs, successors and assigns, shall defend,
