Minutes: H. B. Board of Zoning Adjustments Wednesday, August 7, 1974 Page 21 AYES: Eadie, Gerarden, Crosby NOES: None ABSENT: None ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 74-122 Applicant: I.C.R. Corp. To permit an amendment to a previously approved plan (Lumber Yard) pursuant to S. 9511 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code located on the south side terminus of Redondo Circle, approximately 660 feet south of Talbert Avenue in an M1-A, restricted manufacturing district. Mr. Thompson, the applicant, was present. The Chairman informed the Board that environmental consideration had been given to this revised plan by virtue of approval of Exemption Declaration No. 73-23 granted by the Environmental Review Board April 9, 1974. Board discussed plans with applicant. The Chairman indicated the Planning staff wishes to pursue a realignment of Redondo Circle in light of the problem of an existing water pipe along Redondo Circle as it is presently planned. For this reason, the Department of Public Works is working on an alternative alignment which coincides with the plan submitted to the Board. The staff will be presenting the proposed realignment of Redondo Circle and recommending deletion of the existing precise plan of alignment to the Planning Commission and City Council. It was noted that if for some reason the City Council chooses not to delete the precise plan of alignment the previously approved plot plan reflecting the existing plot plan amendment would apply. The Board indicated that if adjacent property owners do not agree with the alternate plot plan amendment they would reconsider their action on this application as amended at their next regular meeting of August 14, 1974, and rescind approval. Thus, the previous approval of the lumber yard having frontage at the terminus of the cul-de-sac portion of Redondo Circle would still apply. It was the consensus of the Board that the proposed amendment to the previously approved plan would be a better layout. Rearrange- ment of parking, dedication of right-of-way and conditions of approval were discussed. Minutes: H. B. Board of Zoning Adjustments Wednesday, August 7, 1974 Page 22 Board discussion followed.
