NOTICE OF FILING STATUS
Application: Initial Plan, Zoning & Review 00-03
Applicant: Art Kent
325A2 d Street
Huntington Beach, Ca 92648
Request: To review a new SFD with reduced lot coverage.
Location: 722 14`h Street
Dear Mr. Kent:
The Planning Department has reviewed your request and has determined that to proceed with this
plan you will need to apply for design review and a variance. The design review is required due
to the project site's proximity of Dwyer School. The variance would be to allow more than 50%
site coverage and to allow one open parking space in lieu of two. The parking code requires 2
open spaces and 2 enclosed spaces and from our preliminary review we have determined that you
can only provide one open parking space. If you choose to proceed with the current design both
variances can be combined and you will only need to pay one fee. Another option is to revise
your plans so you will only need a variance for parking.
Based on staffs review of the proposal we do not think that the four state mandated findings can
be met (see attachment) for the site coverage variance. Based on the preliminary review it
appears that the parking variance would be able to meet the state mandated findings. Staff would
then support the parking variance and recommend denial of the site coverage variance. You may
choose to proceed and file a variance for both items and present your issues to the Zoning
Administrator.
I have enclosed a variance application and the requirements for your convenience. In addition,
staff had the following comments on the plan which was submitted with the Initial Plan and
Zoning review:
1. There is an alley dedication requirement of 2.5 feet at the rear of the property. Please include
this on the plans at formal submittal.
0
2. The floor plans must be fully dimensioned.
3. Please revise the elevations to include the following:
a. Identify top of curb and finished floor
b. Provide all height dimensions from top of slab to the highest peak of the roof on each
elevation.
Please be aware that submitting a variance request does not presume approval. The approving
body (Zoning Administrator) must make the state mandated findings in order to approve your
request. If you should have any questions or concerns regarding the processing of your
application, please feel free to contact me at (714) 374-1553.
Sincerely,
Sandra Thornton
Assistant Planner
