ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 77-45
Applicant: Gloria Bray
To establish a 24-hour care home for a maximum of six (6) non -related
persons between the ages of 18 and 64 pursuant to Section 9730.27 of
the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, located on the west side of
Flintstone Lane approximately 120 feet south of Fenley Drive in an
R1, Low Density Residential District.
Chairman Palin informed the Board that this request is exempt from
environmental review per Section 15060 of the California State Envir-
onmental guidelines. He also announced that the Board has received
approximately 75 letters in opposition to the proposed project and
that a petition has been entered into the file containing approxi-
mately 900 signatures in opposition.
The Chairman opened the public hearing. Gloria Bray was present at
the meeting. Also present in behalf of the applicant were Dennis
Carlsson, from the Orange County Department of Mental Health,_ -and__ _-
Lynn Slevin and Lynda Martinez from the Department of Social Servic,Pc.
! Ms. Bray addressed the Board, explaining that the intended residents
of the home are to be emotionally disturbed young girls and outlining
her qualifications and experience in the field. Carlson, Slevin,
and Martinez also addressed the Board, discussing the placement
criteria and screening of the applicants, the licensing procedures,
inspection of the premises, administration and care of medication
for the residents, and interaction between the two involved depart-

ments and the communities in which such facilities are located.
Ms. Martinez emphasized that screening of the patients would take
into consideration the elementary school across the street and that
no girls would be placed in the home who might constitute any threat
to school children.
The following persons addressed the Board in opposition to the project:
Russ Miltser, Warren Picken, Charles Arnold, Steven Douglas, David
Tripoli, Blanche Swintek, Jerry Berger, and Sally Eisler. All of the
above either reside in the vicinity of the proposed use or have
children attending the elementary school. The speakers discussed the
following points in regard to the proposal:
1. Location of the project and potential impact on the welfare
and safety of the children attending the school. Also
mentioned in this respect was the possible verbal harassment
the patients in the facility might suffer from the children.
2. Liability for the actions of the residents.
3. The qualifications of the applicant to care for the disturbed
persons, and the administration, type, and storing of any
medications which might be necessary.
4. The precedent -setting nature of approval of the use - e.g.,
if such a facility can be established it could later be
changed to a half -way house for alcoholics or narcotics
offenders. It was also pointed out that speculators could
lease homes in any area for the same purposes.
5. The use might constitute violation of the lease on the home,
as the legal owner was not aware of and is not in concurrence
with the proposed facility.
6. There will be nine persons residing in a three -bedroom house
if the request is granted. (In regard to this, Jim Palin
pointed out that the Board would condition any approval to
not more than eight residents.)
7. Criteria for selection of residents and the possibility that
patients would receive improper care in such a facility.
8. Increased criminal activity and citizen complaints to police
which could result from such facility.
9. Property value decrease.
10. The right of people who have selected homes in an R1 area to
continue to live in that environment without the encroachment
of what they described as a commercial, rest -home type
activity.
The public hearing was closed.
Board discussion ensued, with Board members questioning Carlson,
Slevin, and Martinez on the points which had been raised in the pub-
lic hearing.

Specific issues were the training and certification program for
board and care home operators, which takes place only after placement
of patients within a home; liability for the patients, which is
taken care of by the operator through her own insurance policy with
no specific requirements imposed by the State; and the difference
between the subject use and the 601 program for adolescents also
operated under the auspices of the Department of Social Services.
ON MOTION BY PALIN AND SECOND BY MORRIS ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO.
77-45 WAS DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
REASONS FOR DENIAL:
1. The proposed site for this facility has been improperly selected,
in that it would involve the placement of young girls with
mental problems directly across the street from an elementary
school, and there is overwhelming opposition from the residents
of the neighborhood to such placement in the community.
2. The proponent in this case has not undergone any training program
to assure that she is qualified to provide care for the proposed
non -related persons. '

Mr. Jobson also discussed the alleged illegal closure of this
establishment by the City for a period of three weeks. There being
no other persons present to speak for or against the proposal, the
public hearing was closed.
Board discussion considered the history of the facility, the need
for offstreet parking to replace the cancelled spaces, and Fire
and Building Department requirements for the structure itself. It
was the determination of the Board that the cancellation of the
lease placed the pizza parlor in violation of the code requirements
even without the extension of the use as an arcade, and the appli-
cant would either have to provide parking at some other location or
file for a variance for both uses. After further extensive dis-
cussion it was the consensus that the applicant would pursue added
parking and the staff would investigate the closure.
