at the northeast corner of Newland Street and Yorktown
Avenue in an Rl, Low -Density Residential District.
The Chairman informed the Board that this request is a Cat-
egorical Exemption, Class V, California Environmental
Quality Act, 1970.
The Chairman opened the public hearing. Mike Jaeger was
present to represent the application.
Mr. Jaeger addressed'the Board, explaining that the requested
six-inch encroachment is for a run of only 14 feet on the
garage units. He also noted that in most cases the units are
11 feet apart at the problem side. There being no other
persons present to speak for or against the proposed project,
the public hearing was closed.
Board discussion ensued. Pat Spencer said that in his opinion
the architectural integrity of the units would not be destroyed
by cutting the eaves back on the 14 foot run, nor would the
front view of the elevations be affected. The Board discussed
separation between units, the provision for recreational
vehicle parking in the side yards, and the aesthetic effects
of cutting the eave line back.
ON MOTION BY PALIN AND SECOND BY CROSBY CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION
NO. 76-10 WAS APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDI-
TIONS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
FINDINGS OF THE BOARD:
1. In no case is the projection permitted by this request any
closer to any other eave line than that which is permitted by
ordinance code on a standard side yard with standard projections.
2. The developer has attempted to provide side yards upon which
property owners can store recreational vehicles and, in doing
so, has created a slight encroachment of this eave area.
3. To require that the elevations and eaves be modified would serve
no beneficial purpose.
4. The request is not detrimental or injurious to the safety of
the community.

The Chairman opened the public hearing. Rodney Lauter was present
at the meeting. Mr. Lauter addressed the Board, reviewing the
history on the subject property and the processing of his permits
through the city. There being no other persons present to speak

and the possible effects of the proposed drive width reduction.
ON MOTION BY PALIN AND SECOND BY SPENCER, CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION
NO. 76-12 WAS APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS,
BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
FINDINGS OF THE BOARD:
1.
The applicant had obtained an approval on Use Permit No. 253
in 1964, which authorized the development of the property
with a twenty foot (20') driveway; he is now proposing a twenty-
five foot (25') drive.

full 28 foot drive width is not necessary.
3.
Pursuant to the request of the City, the applicant has provided
a turn -around area in compliance with the provisions of the
ordinance code, to facilitate access by emergency vehicles.
4.
To require a 28-foot drive on this parcel, with its ratio of
lot frontage to lot depth, would be overly restrictive by re-
quiring too much of the property to be placed in drive area
and would be detrimental to the over all development.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
A. TO BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS:
1. The conceptual plot plan received April 2, 1976, shall be
the approved layout as it relates to the width of the
drive only.

CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 76-13"(In conjunction w/AR 76-43)
Applicant: Prince Development Company
To permit a 28 foot encroachment into the required 45 foot side yard
in lieu of Section 9532.2(a) and a chain link fence in lieu of a
required block wall per Section 9730.25 of the Huntington Beach Ord-
inance Code, for a proposed industrial building located at the south
end of Crabb Lane approximately 135 feet south of Liberty Avenue in
an Ml, Light Industrial District.
The Chairman informed the Board that this request is a Categorical
Exemption, Class V, California Environmental Quality Act, 1970.
The Chairman opened the public hearing. George McCracken was present
at the meeting to represent the application.
Mr. McCracken addressed the Board. He explained that there will be
no openings facing the side for which the encroachment has been re-
quested; he cited the instabliity of the slope bank where the fence
will be located as justification for using chain link instead of
block for wall construction.
There being no other persons present to speak for or against the
proposed exceptions, the public hearing was closed.
Board discussion ensued. Discussed were the grade differential be-
tween the subject property and the abutting residential use and the
screening effect to be obtained from the chain link fencing.

THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
BZA 4-21-76 Page 8
Minutes, H.B. Board of Zoning Adjustments

Page 9
FINDINGS OF THE BOARD:
1. The topographical features and the slope bank on the property
create an extreme hardship in the design and location of the
building on the site.
2. The orientation of the building as proposed eliminates all
openings on the easterly wall, thereby reducing the impacts
of noise from this industrial use.
3. The height of the building is such that it will exceed the
existing elevation of the abutting property to the east by
only three (3) feet, which will serve to alleviate the overall
impacts of this industrial use on that residential property.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
A. TO BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS:
1. The conceptual plot plan received April 6, 1976, shall
be the approved layout.
In its approval action, the Board of Zoning Adjustments considered

Applicant: Prince Development Company
To permit the construction of a 10,000 square foot industrial
building pursuant to Section 9530 of the Eruntington Beach Ordin-
ance Code, located on the south end of Crabb Lane approximately
135 feet south of Liberty Avenue in an Ml, Light Industrial
District.
The Chairman informed the Board that Exemption Declaration No.
74-125 was granted by the Environmental Review Board for this
project on August 27, 1974.
George McCracken was present at the meeting.
Mr. McCracken addressed the Board, explaining that problems in
grade and the proximity to residential property have made it
difficult to locate a standard industrial use'on this parcel - the
use he proposes will be for storage of merchandise for an adjoining
building.
Yvonne Durstan addressed the Board, questioning the effects an
industrial use would have on adjacent residents. She submitted
a letter from Mrs. Lucille Hiter, owner of the abutting residential
parcel, in opposition to the proposed project.
Secretary Palin noted that the orientation of the building would
serve to mitigate noise impacts upon nearby residents, and also
that the grade differential and the height of the proposed struc-
ture would result in the finished building height at only 3 feet
above finish grade of the R3 parcel.

TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 76-9
Applicant: David W. Haas
To permit a two (2) lot division of land pursuant to Section 9930.1
of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, located on the south side
of Atlanta Avenue approximately 390 feet east of Miramar Lane in
an R1, Low Density Residential District.
The Chairman informed the Board that Negative Declaration No. 76-25
had been granted for this project by the Environmental Review Board
on April 20, 1976.
David Haas and Chuck Bowlowsky were present at the meeting.
Secretary Palin reviewed the.history of the approval of Tentative
Tract 7079, and explained to the applicants that this division of
land would have to be deferred until such time as the church has
pulled building permits on Parcel No. 2 and construction is taking
place. When the use on Parcel No. 2 is known, access to the sub-
ject parcel can be worked out in conjunction with that use, thereby
preventing an isolated residential lot from taking access to an
arterial.
ON MOTION BY SPENCER AND SECOND BY PALIN, TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO.
76-9 WAS DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
REASONS FOR DENIAL:
1. The proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and
specific plans for the area, as approval of this map would
allow development of proposed Parcel No. 1 with a single-family
dwelling prior to development plans being filed for proposed
Parcel No. 2. Such construction upon Parcel No. 1 would restrict
access being taken from a local public street (Dorsett Drive.

Page' 13
2. The design of the proposed map is not consistent with applicable
general and specific plans for the area, as approval of this
map would restrict fire access to an R-1 development on Parcel
No. 2 to Atlanta Avenue, requiring fire apparatus to cross a
raised median (when constructed) and increasing the number of
local street intersections with an arterial, which would
create traffic problems.
3. The proposed map is not in compliance with prior conditions of
approval previously imposed by the City at the time of approval
of Tentative Tract Map 7079.

ABSENT: NONE'
Jim Palin entered the following reasons for his negative vote on this
project:
1. The plan, with the setback of the garages being 20 feet away from
the ultimate right-of-way line on the alley, is premature and
would create a situation wherein the Board is endorsing a violation
of the ordinance code by encouraging provision of an area which
may be used for tandem parking.
2. The unit design, which provides a second entry to the second story
portion, lends itself to future closure within the second story.
for room rentals. Further, a portion of one bedroom could be con-
verted to a kitchenette, thereby creating a second unit and
violating the intent of the subject application for a duplex only.
3. The structure has been located along an existing 25-foot lot line,
creating a detrimental width on the exterior unit. This location
of the building on the lot is in anticipation of conveyance of
each structure on a separate 25-foot lot, a concept which has not
been approved for this area of the City at this time.
4. The design of the exterior unit is such that it requires one bath-
room to be constructed so that it is supported only by columns,
making construction difficult and adversely affecting the
aesthetics of the unit.
