Reasonfor initiating this application:
Civil Engineering error between the topographic survey and the grading plan leading to a 12"
discrepancy in the plans and therefore the height of the building. The error will manifest itself
in the roof design being flatter and less pronounced. The request is to maintain the existing roof
design by obtaining approval of this waiver of the development standards.
Project Description:
Advocacy Development Partners is pleased to submit our application to bring a new senior
assisted living facility to the City of Huntington Beach. Our application consists of two (2)
Conditional Use Permits (CUP)asfollows:

community at 18922 Delaware Street.
An independent, third party professional market study recently conducted indicates that there is
a pent up demand for senior housing of this type in Huntington Beach. Specifically, there is a need
for 420 units/beds (122 units/beds for assisted living and 298 units/beds for memory care = 420).
This large demand in the Community is the fundamental reason for initiating this application.
We believe this 1.03-acre site will be an ideal location for our residents due to the many senior
housing services and amenities currently surrounding the site. To the north is a 55+ senior
housing project, Huntington West Condominiums. There is also the

e
assisted living residents who are mobile, the 5 points shopping center is lessthan a block away.
The proposed project will provide sixty-eight (68) assisted living units offering a wide range of
services within a gracious and secure environment. All the units of this senior health care facility
will be licensed by the State of California Department of Social Services as a Residential Care
Facility for the elderly, classified as "assisted living". The following are typical attributes of our
assisted living and memory care facilities along with our residents:

In a recent poll of 10 of our Assisted Living and Memory Care Communities of similar size,
the average community had 4.5 resident cars parked on site. So,with an average 4.5 cars
per facility, an average of 4% of our residents drive.
Our transportation program tends to be significantly more robust than other RCFE
operators. Aspects of the program would include: 7 days a week of transportation
available to residents, dedicated Driver positions on staff to accommodate resident
needs, and multiple community vehicles to facilitate transportation (usually a bus and a
town car).
Our staff uses public transportation, bikes to work,

This three story structure will be approximately sixty-eight thousand (68,000) square feet. The
building will be designed architecturally from the ground up to provide for the special needs of
our seniors. All the rooms will be supplemented with common areas to promote friendships and
create a sense of open community. Outdoor living spaces are provided for both the residents of
the assisted living and memory care communities.
This community will provide amenities such as private and formal dining rooms, a café,
entertainment and activity rooms, beauty salon, library, outside courtyard and more. There will
be an in-house fitness center, and a private surround-sound theater. Luxurious comfort will be
defined by fine woodwork, elegant furnishings, artwork, fireplaces, and fresh flowers.
Conversation areas are strategically located throughout the building to promote socializing.
In this fully licensed residential care community, residents will receive healthy meals in our dining
room, housekeeping, assistance from knowledgeable staff, an emergency response system in
each room, programs and health screening. The dining room and exhibit

11:30AM to 1:30PM, and dining from 5 to 8PM.
Progressive care needs of the residents will be addressed by providing high levels of assisted living
in their individual units. This will fulfill our aging-in-place philosophy allowing our residents to
stay in their chosen unit. At move-in, the majority of our residents are in their early to late 80's
utilizing a myriad of assisted living services offered within the community. In addition, there will
be memory care offered in a specifically designed "neighborhood" with delayed egress for
residents with Alzheimer's or Dementia.
Being that few residents drive, we take care of their transportation needs by providing a small bu
s
and driver along with a town car to take residents to shops, doctor appointments and community
activities. Our facility will exceed the City's parking requirements with a total of 37 designated
spaces (1 space per 3 beds required per zoning = 29 spaces required
)
.
Housekeeping services, residential and grounds maintenance, and 24-hour on-site management
are among the many amenities that provide peace-of-mind for our residents and their families.

addition to our personal service philosophy, we promote intergenerational opportunities and
work closely with the community to develop ongoing programs.
Being that this is a licensed facility, the property will be operated on a 24-hour basis, seven days
a week. The number of employees will fluctuate throughout the day. That being said, we
anticipate about twenty-two employees during the day and evening shifts and five employees for
the night shift. All shifts will not start during the AM/PM peak commute times. The morning shift
starts at 6 AM the Afternoon shift will start at 2 PM and the night shift at 10PM. We are proud to
say at our facility over fifty percent of our employees are residents of the local community. We
anticipate the new project will have a similar percentage of employees living in Huntington Beach.
Our facility will have little or no impact with regard to:
Traffic:Our Traffic Impact analysis indicates that traffic associated with the proposed
Project will not significantly impact the four (4) key study intersections surrounding the
site. Each of these existing intersections currently operate and are forecast to continue to
operate at an acceptable Level of Service during the AM and PM peak hours with the addition
of Project generated traffic to existing traffic.
Schools:All residents are senior citizens; therefore schools are not affected.
Noise:Probably the least noise of any type of development.
Socially and economically, our proposal provides much needed high quality services for seniors,
full time jobs for the local community and will support the local economy.
