PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL - DENIED - USE PERMIT N0. 73-28
Mayor Pro Tempore Duke announced that this was the day and hour set for a public.
hearing for the purpose of considering an appeal which he had filed, to the approval
by the Planning Commission of Use Permit No. 73-28, to allow the construction of
a three (3) story residence pursuant to S. 9102.6.1.2 of the Huntington Beach
Ordinance Code, on property located at the northeast corner of Gilbert Drive and
Somerset Lane in the R1 Low Density Residential District.
The City Clerk informed Council that all legal requirements for notification, publi-
cation and posting had been met, and that other than the letter of appeal, she had
received no communications or written protest to Use Permit No. 73-28.
Mayor Pro Tempore Duke' stated that he had appealed the Planning Commission's approval
of Use Permit No. 73-28 as the construction of a three story residence in this area
is contrary to the CC&R's, which may be subject to City control. He stated that he
believed the City should establish a policy in this matter.
The Mayor Pro Tempore asked the City Attorney for his legal opinion on the ratter and
Mr. Bonfa stated that unless the City is involved in developing the.CC&R's, such as
a condition of approval, the City is not legally involved or concerned, as it is a
private contractual matter.
Discussion was held by Council on the matter.
The Mayor Pro Tempore declared the hearing open.
The City Attorney stated that the ordinance code sets forth certain grounds for the
denial of Use Permits and that CC&R's did not constitute grounds for denial.
There being no one present to speak on the matter and there being no other protests
filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the Mayor Pro Tempore.
A motion was made by Councilman Green to deny the appeal based on the opinion of the
City Attorney that the matter was not properly before the Council pursuant to
Section 9841.4 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code.
Mr. John T. Wolf, 16662 Wellington.Dr., City addressed Council and stated that he
believed there were other grounds which he believes were acceptable for appealing
this matter and asked if Council would allow an exception to the 10 day appeal period
in order to allow him..an opportunity to file an appeal.
Councilman Coen informed him that this could not be done as the appeal procedure is
set forth by City Ordinance.
The motion made by Councilman Green was then passed by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen: Shipley, Bartlett, Gibbs, Green, Coen
NOES: Councilmen: Duke
ABSENT: Councilmen: Matney
