FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT NO. 2009-003
FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA:
The Planning Department finds that the project will not have any significant effect on the environment
and is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines, because the project consists of a minor lot line adjustment, not
resulting in the creation of any new parcel.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT NO. 2009-003:
1. The granting of Lot Line Adjustment No. 2009-003, for the consolidation of three 25-foot wide lots
into one 75-foot wide, 10,865 square foot lot will not create any additional parcels or building sites.
2. The merger of subject parcels is required pursuant to Section 257.02 of the Huntington Beach
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) which states that two or more contiguous parcels held
by the same owner shall be merged if one of the parcels does not conform to the minimum lot size.
3. The lot line adjustment will not sever any existing structure on the resulting parcel. The existing
dwelling on the subject site straddles the common property lines of the three existing lots. The
proposed lot line adjustment will consolidate the three lots, thereby removing the above-mentioned
property lines.
4. The lot line adjustment will not allow a greater number of dwelling units than allowed prior to the
adjustment. Currently there is one single-family dwelling unit on the property. Based on the lot size
and zoning district, the maximum permitted development density is one unit.
5. A plat map showing the lot line adjustment has been prepared and approved and will be filed in
accord with the provisions of Section 253.24 of the HBZSO.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT NO. 2009-003:
1. The plat map received on April 17, 2009 , and maintained in Planning Department case file LLA No.
2009-003 shall be the approved layout.
2. The lot line adjustment form shall be submitted to the Public Works Department for final review and
modified as necessary pursuant to the requirements of the Public Works Department prior to
recordation.
INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC CODE REQUIREMENTS:
1. Lot Line Adjustment No. 2009-003 shall not become effective until the ten-calendar day appeal
period has elapsed.

date.
