I FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT NO. 07-02: 1. The proposed lot coverage of 53% percent does not exceed a 10% deviation from the maximum allowed lot coverage of 50% applicable in the RMH-A (Residential Medium-High Density - Small Lot) zoning district, pursuant to Section 210.06 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. 2. The waiver of development standards improves the project design by allowing the addition of a 512 square-foot room to an existing single-family dwelling while minimally impacting lot coverage and maintaining adequate open space on the lot. Moreover, the design and loca- tion of the proposed addition, as modified by conditions of approval: Is compatible with the design, colors and materials of the existing dwelling. Provides for internal circulation between the proposed addition and the existing single- family dwelling, as required by the HBZSO. Will ensure no detrimental impacts to surrounding properties by complying with required side and rear yard setbacks and maximum height limits. Will not impact on-site parking requirements by providing for no net increase in the num- ber of bedrooms. 3. The proposed addition would not otherwise require any discretionary permits, and will not in any way degrade the environment or result in any changes to land use or density. With the exception of the proposed 53 percent lot coverage, the proposed room addition, as modified by conditions of approval, conforms to all applicable development standards, including maxi- mum height and floor area ratio, minimum yard setbacks and required on-site parking. The existing dwelling will continue to be used for single-family residential purposes after con- struction of the proposed room addition. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT NO. 07-02: 1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated February 26, 2007, shall be the conceptually approved layout with the following modifications: a. The addition proposed over the garage shall be setback a minimum of 7'-6" from the rear property line. b. The single-family dwelling shall be limited to a maximum of three bedrooms, including the proposed room over the garage, which shall be considered a bedroom. 2.
