Board of Zoning aajustmenrs Wednesday, July 3, 1974 Page 5 AYES: Eadie, Crosby, Spencer NOES: None ABSENT: None CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 74-39 Applicant: Hearn J. Paschall To permit a reduction in the minimum open space requirement in lieu of S.9163.3.1.1; an increase in the maximum number of garages allowed to face a street in lieu of S.9166.7; and an encroachment of 4 ft. into the required 10 ft. rear yard setback in lieu of S.9163.3 and to permit an encroachment of 3 ft. into the maximum allowable projection for architectural features (balconies) in lieu of S.9163.4.2.2 et sequence, of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code located on Bay View Drive, approximately 75 ft. southeast of Broadway in an R-2, medium density residential district. The public hearing was opened. Mr. and Mrs. Paschall and their architect, Mr. Dean Davidson, were present. Mr. Davidson stated that he did not feel his plan violated the intent of the code. There was a discussion on balconies. As no further parties were present to discuss this application, the Chairman closed the public hearing. The Board discussed the garages and the bottom story and it was the consensus of the Board that the bottom floor was acceptable, but that the plans as presented for the second floor would have to be changed and the balcony moved back. It was suggested that the second floor cantilever over the garage and then the balcony could be accomodated in the rear. ON MOTION BY EADIE AND SECOND BY SPENCER CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 74-39 WAS APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS, FINDINGS, AND REASONS BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. Open space requirements dedicated by the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code shall be complied with. 2. The proposed balcony encroachment was not addressed under the Board hearing of July 3, 1974. Therefore, all balconies shall comply with the provisions of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. FINDINGS: 1. The Conditional Exception would not be detrimental to property, improvements, or the general welfare of persons working and residing in the general vicinity. Minutes: H.B. Board of Zoning Adjustments Wednesday, July 3, 1974 Page 6 2. Granting of the Conditional Exception for increasing the number of garages facing the public street would not contribute to the existing parking problem. 3. Approval of this Conditional Exception would not be adverse to the City's General Plan of Land Use. REASONS FOR APPROVAL: Regarding the increase in the number of garage doors facing the street: 1. Positioning the parking layout in such a way to meet ordinance code requirements would contribute to the existing traffic problem on Bayview Drive and would pose physical hardships on site. 2. Disallowing this portion of the request and conforming to strict application of the ordinance code would contribute to the additional detriment of the vicinity. Regarding the proposed building encroachment: Past plans proposed to encroach into the area allocated for parking have been disallowed because of the existing traffic problem in the area and the need for additional on -site parking. Physical hardships dictated by the nature of the site area and existing indigenous conditions in the field necessitate a conditional exception to establish this development on a scale typical to other duplexes within the City.
