Zonin Code Re uirements Based upon preliminary review of the conceptual site plan for conformance with the Holly- Seacliff Specific Plan and the development standards of Planning Unit IV-1 Residential-Medium Density, the following issues have been identified below. Again, these requirements do not address Building and Fire codes, and Public Works requirements. Please note that several comments identify incomplete information and therefore compliance could not be confirmed. The maximum number of dwelling units is 19 for the subject site based upon a density of 15 dwelling units per net acre. The proposed plans depict more units than allowed.(General Plan) The project is located across from existing industrial uses, which requires setbacks taken behind the 15 ft. landscape buffer and 6 ft. high solid masonry wall (Exhibit 18). The dwellings adjacent to Gothard Street shall require a minimum 15 ft. setback from the landscape area.(SP9 Section III.C4) Fifteen (15) percent of the total units proposed shall be for households earning less than 120% of the Orange County Median Income.(SP9 Section III.C12) Each parallel parking stall shall be minimum 9 ft. width and 19 ft. depth.

Residential General Desi n Ob'ectives Multi-family residential development in Huntington Beach should: Contribute to the sense of community by respecting the scale, proportion and character of the surrounding area Mitigate existing adverse automobile oriented planning patterns by providing pedestrian friendly design solutions Establish attractive, imaginative and functional site arrangements of buildings, open space, recreation areas and parking areas, and a high quality architectural and landscape design Create visual interest and individual unit identity, while maintaining a sense of harmony and human scale building proportions along street frontages and other portions of the project exposed to public view Provide adequate open space, parking and privacy Preserve and incorporate natural amenities unique to the site such as ocean views, and mature trees into the project development proposal Preserve and incorporate structures which are distinctive because of their age, cultural significance, or unique architectural style into the project development proposal SitePlanning 1. Grading Not Applicant Staff A licable • licable •Remarks •Remarks a. Multi-family development should be sensitive to its natural surroundings. Grading should be minimized by following the natural Contours to the greatest extent possible. Graded slopes should be rounded and contoured to blend with the existin terrain. 1: Grading (CONT)Not Applicable Applicable Applicant Staff• Remarks Remarks GAPLANNING \Design Guidelines\Chapter3Checklist.doc 1 Grading should emphasize and accentuate scenic vistas and natural landforms. Large manufactured slopes should be avoided in favor of several smaller slopes integrated throughout the project. Smaller slopes are less obtrusive, more easily vegetated and can be used to add visual interest, preserve views and provide visual buffers where necessary. Significant natural vegetation should be retained and incorporated into the project. 2. Compatibility Not Applicant Staff A l i c a b l e A l i c a b l e Remarks RemarksThe arrangement of structures, circulation and open spaces should recognize the particular characteristics of the site and should relate to the surrounding built environment in pattern, function scale, character and materials. In developed areas, new projects should meet or exceed the standards of quality which have been set by surrounding development. Structures which are distinctive due to their age, cultural significance, or. unique architectural style should be preserved and incorporated in the project development proposal. Residential uses should be buffered from incompatible development. Intensified landscaping, increased setbacks and appropriate building orientation should be utilized as a means of providing adequate separation between such land uses. 3. Site Entry and Edge Design Not Applicant Staff A l i c a b l e A l i c a b l e Remarks . R e m a r k s a. Multi-family developments in Huntington Beach should be distinguished by entry and edge design features such as ornamental landsca in , o en s ace areas, natural features, GMLANNING \Design Guidelines\Chapter3Checklist.doc 2 architectural monumentation and enhanced paving. b. Courtyard doors or gates should be designed as an important, well integrated architectural feature of the buildin or com lex. 4. Building Siting/ Lot Design Not Applicant Staff Applicable Applicable Remarks Remarks Buildings should be generally oriented parallel to streets with varying setbacks to provide visual interest and varying shadow patterns. Clustering of multi-family units should be a consistent site- planning element. Large projects should be broken up into groups of structures. Including building elements of various heights within the overall building design is encouraged. Buildings should be oriented to promote privacy to the greatest extent possible. Site buildings to create courtyards and open space areas. G:\PLANNING\Design Guidelines\Chapter3Checklistdoc 3 5. Vehicular Access/ Circulation/ Parking Not Applicant Staff A licable A licable Remarks Remarks Site access and internal circulation should promote safety, efficiency, and convenience. Conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians should be avoided. Continuous circulation should be provided throughout the site to the greatest extend possible. Dead-end driveways should be minimized. Adequate areas for maneuvering, stacking, and emergency vehicle access should be rovided. The number of site access points should be minimized and located as far as possible from street intersections. Principal vehicular access into multifamily projects should be through an entry drive rather than a parking aisle. Parking courts should be separated from buildings by a raised walkway (minimum 4 feet wide) and landscape strip minimum 7 feet wide . Parking courts should be treated as an important space whose character is clearly defined by landscaping, lighting, building massing, dnd pedestriaiV vehicular circulation areas. Large multi-family parking areas should be divided into a series of connected smaller arkin courts. Adverse visual impacts from parking areas, carports, and garage doors on the residential character of the street or project site should be minimized through proper siting and desi 1. Driveway entry locations should be coordinated with existing or planned median openings and driveways on the o osite side of the roadwa . 6. Pedestrian Circulation Not Applicant Staff A licable A licable Remarks Remarks G:\PLANNING\Design Guidelines\Chapter3Checklist.doc 4 Facilitate pedestrian access and circulation. Entry design should incor orate sidewalks on both sides of the drivewa . Where possible, multi-family projects should incorporate pedestrian connections to adjoining residential, commercial projects, and other compatible land use facilities. Pedestrian walkways should be provided to link dwelling units with common open space areas, recreation areas, parking courts and the street. Curvilinear paths provide a more inviting and interesting experience and are generally preferred over long, straight alignments. Paths which traverse o en s ace areas are eneoura ed. Pedestrian walkways should be at a minimum (4) ft. in clear width. Pedestrian walkways should be safe, visually attractive, and well defined by landscaping and lights. Use of decorative pavement is encouraged. At a minimum, decorative paving should be used to delineate crossings at circulation drives and arkin 7. Open Space Not Applicant Staff A licable • licable Remarks Remarks The design and orientation of open space areas should provide shelter from the noise and traffic of adjacent streets or other incom atible uses. Open space areas should be designed to take advantage of revailin breezes and sunli ht. Open space areas should be provided in large meaningful areas, not unusable fra ments. Common open space area(s) should be sited to maximize their accessibilit and use b residents. Private open spaces should be contiguous to the units they serve and screened from ublic view. Children's play areas should be sited to be visible from residential units. 8. Utility ancl MechanicA Equipment. :Not A licable: • 'A licable a.

All screening devices should be compatible with the architecture, materials and colors of adjacent structures. b. Transformers shall not dominate the streetscape. When transformers are required to be installed adjacent to the. street, the should be under rounded. 9. Refuse and Storage Area Trash and storage enclosures should be architecturally compatible with the project design. Landscaping shall be incorporated into their design to screen them and deter graffiti. Trash enclosures should be unobtrusive and conveniently accessible for trash collection but should not impede circulation dufin loadin o erations. 10. Walls and Fences Walls and fences should be enhanced and constructed with materials such as masoruy, metal, wood or a combination thereof. Tiered planting should be provided adjacent to project or community perimeter walls along street frontages to soften their a earance.

Wall sections greater than 50 ft. in length should incorporate at least two of the following design features, in proportion to the length of the wall: A minimum 2-ft. change in plane for at least 10 ft. A minimum 18-inch high raised planter for at least 10 ft. A minimum 18-inch change in height for at least 10 ft. Use of pilasters at 50 ft. maximum intervals and at changes in wall planes A minimum 4-ft. hi h view fencin section for at least 10 ft. Gates or comparable design solutions should be provided in community perimeter walls or fences to allow emergency access and facilitate convenient pedestrian access to activity areas and ad.acent uses. Walls should be eliminated or sited to provide additional setbacks areas at project entries to accoihmodate distinctive landscaping, ornamental gateways, signage and street furniture. Walls should be curved or angled at corner locations along street frontages. 11. Paving Not Applicant Staff A licable A licable Remarks Remarks Decorative paving should be incorporated into project site planning design; driveway entries, pedestrian walkways and crosswalks. Paving materials should complement the architectural design. The use of stamped concrete, stone, brick, pavers, exposed aggregate or color concrete is encouraged. 12. Lighting Not Applicant Staff A licable •A licable Remarks Remarks a. The type and location of site and building lighting should reclude direct lare onto ad' oinin ro ert , streets, or G:\PLANNING\Design Guidelines\Chapter3Checklist.doc 7 skyward. Pedestrian scale/decorative light fixtures are encouraged. "High mast" oles are discoura ed. Open spaces should be adequately lighted with durable low maintenance fixtures. Architectural Guidelines L Architectural Imagery Not Applicant Staff A hcable A licable Remarks Remarks There is no particular architectural "style" requirement for multi-family residential structures in Huntington Beach. The primary focus should be on developing a high quality residential environment. A visual balance or rhythm should be created by the dimensional ratio of multi-family buildings, their parts and spaces around them. Architectural elements such as bays, bay windows, recessed or projecting balconies, verandahs, balconies, porches and other elements that add visual interest, scale and character to the neighborhood are encouraged. All support buildings (i.e., laundry facilities, recreation buildings and sales/lease offices) should be architecturally corn atible with the main buildin desi n. 2. Building Facade and Roof Articulation Building heights should be varied and building facades should provide wall offsets to give the appearance of a collection of smaller structures and reduce the perceived height and massing of multi-story structures. Boxy and monotonous building facades that lack human scale proportions and large expanses of flat wall planes are Not Applicant Staff . A licable A licable Remarks Remarks G:\PLANNING\Design GuidelinesThapter3Checklist.doc 8 strongly discouraged. The maximum number of attached units per building should be 8. Variations to the number and mix of units per structure are encouraged. Buildings containing 3 or more attached dwellings in a row should incorporate at least one of the following: For each dwelling unit, at least one architectural projection not less than 2-feet from the wall plane and not less than 8-feet wide should be provided. Projections should extend the full height of single story buildings, at least one-half the height of the two-story building, and two-thirds the height of a three-story building; or A change in wall plane of at least 3-feet for at least 12- feet for each two units. In some cases, it may be desirable to "step back" the upper stories of new multi-family buildings to "scale down" facades that face the street, common space, and adjacent residential structures. 2. Building Facade and Roof Articulation (CONT)Not Applicant Staff A licable A licable Remarks Remarks Distinctive architectural elements, materials and colors should be used to denote primary building entries or individual unit entries. Long monotonous access balconies and corridors should be avoided. Roof-lines should be segmented and varied within an overall horizontal context. Var in heights are encoura ed. Combinations of one, one and a half, and two story units create variation and visual interest, and are encouraged. Use of vertical elements such as towers ma be used to G:\PLANNING\Design Guidelines\Chapter3Checklist.doc 9 accent horizontal massing and rovide visual interest. k.
