ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 76-123
Applicant: W. Sterling Buck & Associates
To permit the construction of a 5,700 square foot professional office
building pursuant to Section 9430.2 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance
Code, located at the southeast corner of Bolsa Avenue and Springdale
Street in a C2, Community Business District.
The Chairman informed the Board that this project is covered_ by
Negative Declaration No. 75-16, adopted by the Board of Zoning Adjust-
ments on April 9, 1976.
Will Buck was present to represent the application.
Secretary Palin reviewed for the Board's information several prior
divisions of land and development proposals for subject property,
noting that the present proposal does not conform to the original intent
to provide for reciprocal easements across the northerly portion of the
property for drive access which would minimize the impacts of this
commercial development upon the abutting residential property.
Mr. Buck reported that he had been unable to obtain the ease-
ment from the neighboring owner; he also stated that his present plan
would not require the easement. The Board discussed previous approvals
and alternative methods of locating the building on the site. It was
determined that the applicant should investigate prior commitments
and the possibility of revising the plot plan.
