USE PERMIT NO. 76-55
Applicant: Family Home Builders
To permit the construction of an 82-unit apartment building
pursuant to Section 9320 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code,
located on the northwest corner of Wichita Avenue and Huntington
Street in an R2-0-CD, Medium Density Residential District.
Chairman Crosby informed the Board that this request is covered
by Negative Declaration No. 76-81.
The Chairman opened the public hearing. John Mandrell, Louis
Graziadio, and Dennis Taylor were present at the meeting. There
being no other persons to speak for or against the project, the
public hearing was closed.
Secretary Palin reviewed the history of the application, the
meetings which have been held with the applicants and with the
Orange County Transit District, and the opinion which has been
obtained from the Office of the City Attorney. Said opinion is
that the applicant may submit two alternative plans and have his
project approved on an either/or basis, but one of the plans must
approach the project as the lot configuration currently exists
with buildings plotted thereon according to existing rights -of -way.
The alternative plan may take the pending Precise Plan of Align-
ment and the vacation of portions of the Mansion Avenue right-of-
way into consideration, under the assumption that the applicant
will be successful in obtaining the vacated right-of-way.
Other items discussed were the number of units which can actually
be constructed on the parcel (Planning Department figures indi-
cate 78 as the maximum), and the applicant was informed that he
cannot use any area from his Parcel 2 as a basis for calculations
on the density for Parcel 3. Access from Mansion Avenue was
also reviewed, and it was noted that the Traffic Department will
not take a hard and fast position on this access, relinquishing
the decision to the Board of Zoning Adjustments.
After further extensive discussion it was determined that the
applicant would supply the separate plan, moving encroaching
buildings out of the present right-of-way line, clarifying the
questions on the number of units, and certifying dimensions on the
site plan.

ON MOTION BY PALIN AND SECOND BY CROSBY CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION
NO. 76-50 WAS APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDI-
TIONS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
FINDINGS OF THE BOARD:
1. To require the construction of a carport to provide covered
parking onsite would create an unsightly structure which might
not be compatible with the aesthetics of the area.
2. There is not sufficient room on the existing property, because of
prior construction and the ten foot front yard setback, to
accommodate a legal carport without further encroaching upon the
required setbacks.
3. The proponent has indicated an intention to use only the existing
apron approach for open parking, and said approach is sufficient
to accommodate two automobiles.
4. Waiving the onsite covered parking through the proposed variance
will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of
people working or residing within the area.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The site plan received and dated September 27, 1976, shall be
the approved layout.

The Board reviewed the project with the applicant. Problems
found on the plot plan included provision of reciprocal ease-
ments over and across a ten (10) foot driveway in lieu of the
twenty (20) foot width as required by code and improper turning
radius which provided only thirteen feet in lieu of the 25 foot
minimum required by ordinance code. Length of the drives and
the relationship of the subject project to abutting properties
were also discussed. It was the consensus that the project
architect should meet with staff to attempt to work out the
problems on the proposed plan.

mission on November 19, 1974.
Scott Fawcett was present to represent the application.
Bruce Crosby pointed out that no map has recorded on the tract
in which this project is located; therefore, there are no legal
street lines, setbacks, etc., to which the project can be con-
structed. The Board reviewed this problem with the applicant.
Also discussed was the problem of providing proper circulation
between this project and the remainder of the tract. It was the
consensus that the applicant should meet with Gordon Mountjoy, the
developer of the tract, to determine what procedure will be fol-
lowed in recording either a final or a tentative parcel map and
what provisions will be made for access; also, the plan must be
revised to comply with setback requirements.

sion of time through the Thanksgiving holiday would be acceptable

USE PERMIT NO. 74-17
Developer: Thomas Shelton
Reconsideration of prior approval of minor alterations to lot
lines within a previously approved mobilehome park located at
Newland Street and Ellis Avenue, Huntington Beach.
Robert Drechsler, tenant of Space 26 in the mobilehome park, was
present at the meeting.
Secretary Palin reported to the Board that the prior approval of
these modifications (granted on September 29, 1976) had been based
upon misinformation as to the effects such modifications would have
on adjacent spaces within the park. He also noted that some
coaches had, in fact, already been moved in on some of the lots
upon which the Board had acted. Walt Lipps noted that some of the
people whose coaches were already in place now find that their
units are too close to the space lines and are subject to reloca-
tion. Mr. Drechsler, one of the tenants so affected, has filed
an appeal to the Board's actions of September 29.
ON MOTION BY PALIN AND SECOND BY LIPPS THE BOARD DETERMINED TO
RECONSIDER ITS PRIOR ACTION OF SEPTEMBER 29, 1976, BY THE FOLLOW-
ING VOTE:
AYES: PALIN, CROSBY, LIPPS
NOES: NONE
ABSENT: NONE
The Board discussed the project. It was the consensus of the
Board that the prior action should be rescinded and the applica-
tion for modification of lot lines denied. Applicant will be
required to provide written proof that any future request for a
lot line adjustment for a specific lot will not affect any space
already occupied by a coach or any space with currently existing
lawful setbacks which is leased or under agreement_ to lease to a__
specific tenant.
ON MOTION BY PALIN AND SECOND BY CROSBY THE BOARD'S ACTION ON
SEPTEMBER 29, 1976, WAS RESCINDED AND THE REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION
IN LOT LINES DENIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: PALIN, CROSBY, LIPPS

Mr. Drechsler at this point addressed the Board, requesting a
thirty -day extension of his appeal, in order to protect his
rights in the action in the event that the developers of the
mobilehome park appeal the Board's action on this date. He
also informed the Board of the impacts upon his site which had
occurred due to the modification of the lines on Space 25.
THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS, THE MEETING WAS ADJOURNED.
