ATTACHMENT 2
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT
The Southern California Acro Team, Inc. (SCATS) proposes to use the
existing facility at 5822 Research Drive, Huntington, Beach- as a
training facility for women's gymnastics.
This building is approximately three years old and is located in a
light industrial area adjacent to Marina High School, The building
is in very good condition.
The Southern California Acro Team gymnastics program consists of an
Academy providing beginning and intermediate level training and a
competitive team for advanced gymnasts. Members of the competitive
team are selected from the Academy by the coaching staff.
Academy classes are limited to sixtv--Lour members per session.
Sessions are for two hours and are held week days after school from
4:00 p.m, to 6:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m to
3:30 p.m. Competitive team workouts are within the 1:30 p.m. to
9:30 p.m. time period on weekdays. A maximum of twenty-five
competitive team members work out at one time.
SCATS has operated this type program over the last three years.
Expe--ience has shown that all gymnasts travel to and from the train-
ing facility via carpools. The average carpool has 2 - 3 girls.
Hence the forty-five space parking lot of the proposed building is
more than adequate.
The proposed gymnastic training facility would serve members in
northern Orange County and southern Los Angeles County.

The apparatus used in women's gymnastics dictates certain require-
ments in the facility used. The minimum ceiling height is seventeen
feet. Support columns must be at least forty-five feet apart.' A
floor space of approximately twenty thousand square feet is required.
These requirements are occasionally met in light industrial buildings.
Existing available commercial and educational facilities do not meet
these criteria.
The Southern California Acro Team was founded in 1963 and is chartered
by the Federal Government as an athletic educational non-profit
organization. SCAT gymnasts have represented the United States in
competitions worldwide. Four SCAT gymnasts, Wendy Cluff, Dagmar
Hintnaus, Cathy Rigby, and Leslie Wolfsberger, have competed in the
Olympics. The Southern California Acro Team is one of the most suc-
cessful and well known gymnastics clubs in the United States and
would be an asset to the city of Huntington Beach.

ON MOTION BY GIBSON AND SECOND BY SLATES CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 77-04
WAS APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITION BY THE FOLLOW-
ING VOTE:
FINDINGS:
1. This is an exceptional circumstance wherein strict application of
the zoning ordinance in this instance poses a .limiting factor in
d esi,7n of development on the property in view of the narrowness
-vi depth of the existing lots, and the potential for an exterior
lot size that would not be desirable after ultimate street improve-
ment. There are exception circumstances applicable to the land
that do not apply generally to the property or class of uses in
the same district.

2. Granting of the conditional exception is necessary to allow the
property to develop in parity with similar building types in like
zoning districts. Granting of the conditional exception is con-
sistent with a similar case in the area wherein exceptional cir-
cumstances had been demonstrated.
3. As the development potential of the site is consistent with the
intensity of the area, the exception request will not be materially
detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of or in-
jurious to the land, property, or improvements in the immediate
vicinity.
4. The applicant has indicated his desire to develop under the terms
and conditions of the zoning ordinance in good faith.
CONDITION:
1. The reduced lot widths approved under this exception request shall
be reflective of Tentative Parcel Map No. 77-20 as amended.
Chairman Slates suggested maps be updated to indicate development of
property after 15 years.
There was a discussion on amending the conditions and findings.
