MEL OTT, FIRE DEPARTMENT
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 75-172
Applicant: Anthony Bartoli
To permit the construction of an 1800 square foot professional
office, pursuant to Section 9471.4 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance
Code, located on the east side of "A" Street approximately 50 feet
south of Warner Avenue in a C4, Highway Commercial Business District.
Tom Jones was present to represent the application.
- The Board reviewed the application. Bruce Crosby noted that the
northerly property line of this property is at the ultimate
southerly right-of-way line of Warner Avenue; this will require a
35 foot property line radius at the intersection of "A" Street and
Warner Avenue, which would appear to eliminate two parking spaces
from the plot plan. However, Mr. Crosby indicated that it will
probably be 10 to 15 years before these improvements are installed
and there should be no problem in interim landscaping encroachment
into the remaining 25 foot strip back of the present curb line.
Public Works will require that the dedication be made at this time.
Further discussion centered on methods of bringing the parking up
to code. The consensus of the Board was that the applicant should
explore a reduction in building size and/or the filing of a Condi-
tional Exception for the deletion of one parking space or the re-
duction of that space to a compact parking stall.

To permit the establishment of a drive -through film and photo ser-
vice pursuant to Section 9430.2 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance
Code, located on the south side of Edinger Avenue approximately

Mr. Toland was present at the meeting.
Secretary Palin noted for the applicant's information that there is
an existing deed restriction on the property requiring a 185-foot
setback. The Board discussed possible overall parking deficiency
on this site, reciprocal parking agreements which may exist with ad-
jacent property owners, and whether the spaces provided for this
use under consideration would entail a reduction in required parking
for some other use in the center. The applicant was advised to
investigate and document all of the above problems.
