John Cope opened the public hearing. W. J. McGarrigle was present
at the meeting to explain further his reasons for requesting the
variance. No one else was present to address the Board, and the
public hearing was closed.
The Board discussed the unusual building configuration which would
be required to meet the setback requirement, noting that the en-
croachment as requested is not a major one. The applicant assured
the Board that proper exiting will be provided.
ON MOTION BY BEHRENS AND SECOND BY CROSBY CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION
NO. 77-46 WAS APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS,
BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
FINDINGS OF THE BOARD:
1. Because of the intrusion of the cul-de-sac into sub3ect prop-
erty, strict observance of the setback requirements would place
the building behind the setback of adjacent buildings.
2. A precedent has been established within the industrial park for
a variance of this type.
3. Granting of the conditional exception permits the applicant to
meet the landscaping requirements of the code.
4. The granting of the conditional exception will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or in]urious to property in
the same zoning classification.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
A. TO BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS:
1. The site plan received and dated August 26, 1977, shall
be the approved layout.

eration required by the Coastal Commission. There being no other

hearing was closed.
The Board discussed the status of the property as an abated non-
conforming site, noting that it was nonconforming as regards develop-
ment standards (i.e., street dedication and improvements, parking,
and landscaping) and not as regards retail use. The timing which
would be applicable for requirement of such development standards
for this temporary project was extensively discussed by the Board.
It was determined that immediate street dedication would be neces-
sary, with delay permitted in actual street improvements and other
requirements onsite.

Board of
period to
and, if said
shall be
To permit division of an existing commercial,parcel into three
(3) separate parcels pursuant to Section 9921 of the Huntington
Beach Ordinance Code, located on the east side of Green Street
approximately 512 feet south of Warner Avenue, one parcel to be
zoned C2 (Community Business District) and two parcels to be zoned
R3 (Medium -High Density Residential).
This request is covered by Negative Declaration No. 77-96.
John Cope opened the public hearing on the Negative Declaration.
Bob Curtis was present to represent the application. The Board re-
viewed the information contained in the negative declaration
request and considered mitigation measures applicable to any
residential project which may be proposed for the site. The public
hearing was closed.
ON MOTION BY COPE AND SECOND BY CROSBY THE BOARD, HAVING FOUND
THAT THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE EFFECT
UPON THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, ADOPTED NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO.
77-96 WITH THE MITIGATING MEASURES CONTAINED IN CONDITIONS 10
THROUGH 20 IMPOSED UPON THE TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP, BY THE FOLLOWING
VOTE:
AYES: COPE, CROSBY
NOES: BEHRENS
ABSENT: NONE
Board review ensued on the division of land, considering the zoning
action presently being processed on the property (which will not
become effective until October 19, 1977). Bruce Crosby informed
the applicant that the width of Green Street is master -planned at
54 feet instead of 60; therefore, the 30-foot halfstreet section
indicated on the site plan could be reduced to 27, gaining three (3)
feet on the property if applicant desires. It will be necessary
for him to request a vacation of right-of-way by the City if he
wishes to take advantage of the reduced street section, however.

John Behrens stated that he could not support granting of the
parcel map at this time for the following reasons: 1) Parcels 2
and 3 would be illegal properties as presently zoned; 2) combining
Parcels 2 and 3 would provide better configuration for development
than splitting them; 3) development of the property has not been
resolved. It was his stated opinion that all considerations on
the site (zoning, division of the land, and development) should be
reviewed together as one package, and a site layout answering all
developmental concerns and complying with legal zoning could be
processed at a later date.
The applicant discussed the timing on his escrow on the property,
noting that purchase is contingent upon obtaining the lot split.
John Cope suggested that the map be revised to reflect a two -parcel
split, including the present Parcels 2 and 3 as one, and submitting
a revised parcel map prior to recordation to effect the desired
division.

NOES: COPE
ABSENT: NONE
John Cope expressed reservations with the subdivision of this parcel
into three separate parcels, noting that development as an integ-
rated project on all three proposed parcels would provide a better
layout in regard to number of access points, buffering of noise from
Brookhurst Street, provision of meaningful open space areas, and
a better relation to the adjoining Santa Ana River greenbelt area.
It was his opinion that granting of the parcel map would impose
developmental restraints on any ensuing site plan which might be sub-
mitted.
Bruce Crosby reported that the
