Re:24' Driveway between Agnes L. Smith E.S. and First Christian Church Huntington
Beach
Dear Mr. Beckman:
The following is the requested narrative as required by Item 15 on the IPZR Application.
a) The project includes improving queuing for pick up and drop off of students at Agnes L. Smith
E.S. (Smith), expanding the parking lot with an additional 35 spaces, and removing the
parking lot exit to 17`h Street from Smith, which had been opposite Aqua Drive. A new
driveway passage will be created between Smith and First Christian Church Huntington
Beach (FCCHB) for egress using the existing FCCHB exit. The Huntington Beach City School
District and FCCHB have signed a joint use agreement (attached) allowing FCCHB access to
Agnes L. Smith E.S. Parking Lot. Days of operation of the joint use parking agreement are
Saturdays from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Sundays 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Other Church
events that occur and require the use of the School Parking Lot are arranged as needed.
b) Reason for initiating this application is for City permission for a new driveway passage
between the properties of consenting owners.
c) Description of surrounding uses to the north, south, east and west is as follows: Smith
property on the south and west remains unchanged. The Smith property's northern boundary
removes one exit onto 17th Street. The eastern boundary is altered by the new driveway
passage between properties of consenting owners. The Smith parking lot expansion
entrance is on Smith property, and exits via FCCHB. The new driveway displaces three (3)
FCCHB parking spaces and relocates them in the additional 35 spaces gained in the parking
lot expansion with the joint use parking agreement.
d) Descriptions of population served by the proposed project are parents of students of Agnes L.
Smith E.S. and FCCHB members. The general public is served by the reduction of exits onto
17`h Street.
If you have any questions or should need additional information for the above project, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
