FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT NO. 08-006:
1. The proposed pool slide side yard setback of 4'-7" does not exceed a 10% deviation
from the minimum side yard setback of 5'-0" applicable in the Holly Seacliff Specific
Plan base zoning district.
2. The waiver of development standards enhances the overall project design by
incorporating aesthetically attractive building materials such as stucco and stone and
adding variation to the design of the stairway. The addition of trees and landscaping
between the proposed structure and the side property line minimize the bulk and mass
of the structure and screen it from the adjacent property. In addition, the other side of
the subject side property line is a driveway that runs the entire length of property with the
neighbor's house setback at 26 ft. from the property line. The pool slide design,
landscaping, and its location will enhance the project and maintain the privacy of
adjacent property.
3. The proposed pool slide 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 five-inch reduction in the side yard setback, the proposed
pool slide conforms to all applicable development standards, including minimum rear
yard setback.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT NO. 08-006
1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated March 11, 2008, shall be
the conceptually approved layout.
INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC CODE REQUIREMENTS
1. The applicant and/or applicant's representative shall be responsible for ensuring the
accuracy of all plans and information submitted to the City for review and approval.
2. Administrative Permit No. 08-006 shall not become effective until the ten-calendar day
appeal period has elapsed.
3. Administrative Permit No. 08-006 shall become null and void unless exercised within
one year of the date of final approval or such extension of time as may be granted by
the Director pursuant to a written request submitted to the Planning Department a
minimum 30 days prior to the expiration date.
4. The Planning Department reserves the right to revoke Administrative Permit No. 08-006,
pursuant to a public hearing for revocation, if any violation of these conditions or the
Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance or Municipal Code occurs.
