USE PERMIT NO. 77-11
Applicant: George Renek & Ron Fought
To permit the construction of a 7-unit apartment on an arterial
street pursuant to Section 9201.4(a) of the Huntington Beach
Ordinance Code, located at the northeast corner of Atlanta Avenue
and Huntington Street in an R3, Medium -High Density -Residential
District.
Chairman Spencer informed the Board that this request is covered
by Negative Declaration No. 77-16.
The Chairman opened the public hearing. John King and George
Renek were present to represent the application. Mr. Forrest
Lewis addressed the Board in opposition to the proposed project,
indicating that he is also speaking for three other residents in
the immediate vicinity of the subject site. Mr. -Lewis noted -that
this area is a long-established single-family area and will prob-
ably remain so due to the recently approved Code Amendment 76-12
and its effects on the sub -standard lots in the vicinity (most of
which he reported to be 46 feet in width). 'It is _the .feeling of
the residents in the block that the effect of this code amendment
would be to repeal the existing R2 and R3 zoning and that the sub-
ject lot should be developed at a lesser density more compatible
with the surrounding residences. There being no other persons to
address the Board in regard to this request, the public hearing
was closed.
Secretary Palin and Bruce Crosby noted that the status of the
alley to the rear of the property has not been determined.
Mr. Lewis reported that he has owned the one foot wide strip
running from 110 to 114 Huntington Street for 25 years, and that
the City had accepted the alley as a 10-foot wide alley in 1950.
The width of this alley would be substandard if it is a -public
alley, and -Bruce Crosby discussed the possibility that the City
might vacate the right-of-way; however, other lots on Huntington
are presently using the alley for access. Mr. King indicated
that if additional dedication is necessary to bring the alley up
to code requirements such dedication should come off the easterly
side. It was also noted that additional radius at the corner of
Huntington and Atlanta will be required, which will have an effect
on the layout submitted.
Minor discrepancies in the plan were reviewed, including drive
width, location of the trash bins, parking on -site, and minimum
dimension for garages, but it was felt that complete plan review
would not be appropriate until a determination has been reached
in regard to the alley problem. Bruce Crosby requested a continu-
ance to permit Public Works time to research the history of the
alley and make a determination on what action should be taken.

MISCELLANEOUS AGENDA ITEM:
USE PERMIT NO. 76-64 (Revised)
Applicant: W & D Commercial Properties (Del Taco)
To permit minor revisions to a -previously approved plot plan
for a 73,000 square foot shopping center pursuant to Section
9472 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, located at the
northwest corner of Atlanta Avenue and Magnolia Street in a C4,
Highway Commercial District, for Del Taco restaurant.
Kelly Hesheim (of W & D) and William Galloway of Del Taco were
present -at the meeting.
Secretary Palin reported,to the Board that the plan in the vic-
inity of the Del Taco restaurant has been revised for the drive
through facility and 16 parking spaces immediately adjacent to
the vicinity of the restaurant have been deleted, from 27 to 11.
The -Board reviewed the number required for the total center and
the reciprocal agreements in effect; it was determined that con-
formance with Article 979 for total overall parking can be
achieved through plan check.
The Board then discussed extensively the proposed changes in
the landscaping.plan along the northerly property line of the
complex. Pat Spencer expressed the opinion that no modification
of a previously imposed condition of approval should occur in
this case without another public hearing, to permit adjacent
residents an opportunity to review the plan. The Board generally
expressed reservations on using offsite landscaping to satisfy
a condition for onsite landscaping, as is proposed by the appli-
cant. The developer was instructed to submit a revised plan
showing existing conditions-- location of the buildings and the
adjacent landscaping, with a proposal for trees or groupings of
trees on the north property line to take up the slack where there
is nothing existing to the north. This plan will then be reviewed
by the Board.

ing on the revised landscaping plan.
