Subject: Administrative Permit - Exceed Lot Coverage

PLANNING DEPT.
We are asking the City of Huntington Beach Planning Department to grant us permission to
exceed the maximum 50% lot coverage. We are requesting a six-percent increase to 53.2% lot
coverage.
The Subject property is a Spanish style partial 3-story single family dwelling. It consists of three
bedrooms, 4-1/2 baths, office, lounge room, sundeck, and a balcony. The house is currently going
through an addition and is under construction. (Permit #C2009002827)
The property is located one block North East of Pacific Coast Highway. It's surrounded by a
mixture of single family and multi-family dwellings. The area has many custom houses with their
own unique designs.
We are proposing an extension of 48sf to the new second story rear bedroom and also an
extension of 72sf to the existing front balcony.
The reason we are submitting this application is to improve the appearance and comfort of the
house. The front exterior including the balcony has an ordinary design and is lacking an appealing
feature. We are confident that the proposed extension to the balcony will give it the "eye catching"
feature that so many Huntington Beach houses have. The railing will be of glass with a slight blue
tint giving it a unique look. In addition, the extension will allow for a comfortable outdoor lounging
area, which is very popular and considered a must have in this area.
The rear exterior will also aesthetically improve by increasing the bedroom. It will create a 2'-6"
overhang or "pop-out' look that also is consistent with the surrounding area. The extension will also
line up with the overhang at the third level, which will allow us to relocate the railing to the edge,
thus giving it a better appearance.
In conclusion, we strongly feel we are enhancing the overall aesthetics of the house and the
community without jeopardizing the zoning code. These additions will be consistent with the design
of numerous houses in the surrounding area. I have enclosed photographs for your review.
Thank You for the opportunity to submit this application, if you have any questions or comments
please feel free to contact me at 626/487-0495.
Sincerely,
