FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT NO. 06-20:
1. The proposal to increase the 50 percent maximum lot coverage to 53.2 percent for a new
single-family residence by incorporating architectural components such as a cantilevered
second story in the interior courtyard of the structure, roof overhangs, and a balcony does
not directly improve the design of the project.
2. No special circumstances are applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, to-
pography, and location. Strict application of the zoning and subdivision ordinance does not
deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by the other properties in the vicinity and
under identical zone classification.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - Administrative Permit No. 06-20R:
1. The proposed lot coverage of 53.2% percent does not exceed a 10% deviation from the
maximum allowed lot coverage of 50% 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 residence enhances the curb appeal of the subject area by incorporating a
distinct architectural style that includes wide overhanging eaves, cantilevered second floor
portions, and a covered porch that contribute to the dwelling's total lot coverage. The
above-mentioned details will enhance the project with no detrimental impacts to surrounding
properties by complying with required side and rear yard setbacks and maximum height lim-
its.
3. The number of proposed parking spaces located within the garage area complies with the
intent of the residential off-street parking requirement, pursuant to Section 231.04 of the
Hunting Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. The enlarged garage area contributes to
the dwelling's lot coverage, but will not create detrimental impacts to surrounding properties
by complying with required side and rear yard setbacks and maximum height limits.
4. The proposed dwelling 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 53.2% lot coverage, the proposed dwelling conforms to all applicable devel-
opment standards, including maximum height, minimum front and side yard setbacks, and
maximum floor area ratio. The proposed 3.2% percent increase in lot coverage will not re-
sult in significant environmental impacts. The existing dwelling will be used for single-family
residential purposes.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - Administrative Permit No. 06-20R
1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated October 12, 2006, shall be the
conceptually approved layout.

racy of all plans and information submitted to the City for review and approval.
