SUBJECT: Initial Planning & Zoning Review No. 05-10 (Truong Condominiums)
7911 Slater Avenue
Dear Mr. Tuan,
Planning staff has reviewed your conceptual site plan for development of the subject property
with a 6-unit residential development dated September 21, 2005. The proposal was reviewed for
its general conformance with the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and
Citywide Urban Design Guidelines.
The purpose of the Initial Planning and Zoning Review is to identify major issues with the pro-
posal and to provide the applicant with preliminary design recommendations. The proposed pro-
ject requires submittal of a conditional use permit to be heard before the Zoning Administrator.
The following issues were identified in reviewing the conceptual plans:
Private 0 en S ace: The private open space requirement for two-bedroom units is a mini-
mum of 250 square feet, with a maximum of 50 percent allowed within second or third floor
balconies. It is unclear on the site plan if this requirement is being met.
o Affordable Housin : A minimum of one unit shall be provided as affordable housing within
the development.
The following items are staff recommendations to improve the design of the project consistent
with the City's adopted Design Guidelines and/or design principles:
Ornamental landscaping/decorative paving shall be provided at the entrance to the subject
site. See Design Guidelines - Chapter 3. C. 4. e
Facilitate pedestrian access and circulation throughout the subject site. See Design
Guidleines - Chapter 3. C. 6. a
"Boxy" and monotonous buildings facades are discouraged. Consideration should be given to
stepping back the upper floor to soften the appearance of each building. See Design
Guidleines - Chapter 3.D.2.g
i
Consider the use of an additional material such as cultured stone, to allow for additional
articulation of the building facades. See Design Guidelines - Chapter 3.D.2.f
Buildings should be generally oriented to streets with varying setbacks to provide visual in-
terest and varying shadow patterns. See Design Guidelines - Chapter 3. C. 4. a
Building heights should be varied and building facades should provide offsets to give the ap-
pearance of a collection of smaller structures. This design principle applies to both the front
facade and access alley to garages in which offsetting the buildings provides opportunities for
additional landscaping and architectural interest. See Design Guidelines - Chapter 3.D.2.a
Staff is available to answer any questions regarding Zoning Code or General Plan requirements.
