FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL: 1. The proposed lot coverage of fifty-two (52%) percent resulting from the expansion of the second story deck does not exceed a ten percent (10%) deviation from the maximum allowed lot coverage of fifty percent (50%) applicable in the RMH-A (Residential Medium High Density - Subdistrict A) base zon- ing district, pursuant to Section 210.06 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. A condition has been placed on the project eliminating the proposed 138 sq. ft. first and second story addition, which increases the building footprint by 69 sq. ft. to a total lot coverage of fifty-five (55%) percent. 2. The proposed expansion of the second floor deck along the front elevation of the structure improves the design of the project by orienting the structure toward the street through enhanced curb appeal. The proposed 138 sq. ft. first and second story addition does not directly improve the design of the project. The addition is proposed along the side of the property and does not enhance the appearance of the side elevation or add to the roof articulation of the structure. A condition has been placed on the project requiring the removal of the 138 sq. ft. first and second story addition. 3. The proposed second floor deck expansion 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 fifty-two (52%) percent lot coverage, the proposed room addition conforms to all ap- plicable development standards, including maximum height, minimum front and side yard setbacks, and maximum floor area ratio. The proposed two (2%) percent increase in lot coverage, as modified by the conditions of approval, will not result in significant environmental impacts. The existing dwell- ing will continue to be used for single-family residential purposes.
