provisions of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code.
3. The proposed recreational facility will be both compatible and
complementary to the recreational and open space character of
the general area. .

ment of the use applied for in'relation to the vicinity in which

Mr. Cope further stated that the applicant will be in the business
of providing spare parts for the customers and does not anticipate
keeping the stripped automobiles on the premises after obtaining
the parts.
The public hearing was opened.
John Cope stated that a letter of opposition had been received
from Jerry Jones and was on file in the Planning Department.
Chairman Slates directed the Commission to discuss Conditional
Exception No. 75-36 first since approval or denial would be
necessary before action could be taken on the Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. Frank •Standard addressed the Commission and stated that he
would be willing to comply with their requests concerning improve-
ments to the property, and stated that the staff report set forth
the proposed use in an accurate manner.
The public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Kerins felt that the use constituted a hardship for the
owner of the residence adjacent to the proposed site. He suggested
that Mr. Standard seek another use for the site. Chairman Slates
felt that since there would be no stacking and the use would be
concealed by the eight foot wall, it would be as good a use as the
City will get on that site. Commissioner Shea concurred with
Chairman Slates. Commissioner Finley stated that it was unfortunate
that the ordinance is written in such a way that a proximity to a
nonconforming use would prevent the proposed use. Further discussion
ensued.

75-36 WAS DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REAS014S BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:

might be discussed. Commissioner Boyle felt the use of parking
lot facilities should be limited. Commissioner Shea felt that
a right hand turn should be worked out with Department of Public
Works. Commissioner Slates felt the entrance off Goldenwest
should be widened and no left turn permitted and also staff should
seek meaningful landscape buffering between the designated parking
and the houses on the west. Commissioner Finley felt that after
a specified period the use should be examined to determine any
impacts on surrounding ues which might occur. Commissioner Bazil
would like to see the driveway widened and no left turn permitted
with pedestrian traffic discouraged rather than encouraged.
