ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: None DAON PROJECT - BEACH BOULEVARD AND PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY Secretary Palin discussed a communication received from the Local Coastal Program staff and committee in regard to the Daon property. He explained that a public hearing for the purpose of exploring the possibility of processing the general plan amendment for the site had, through a departmental oversight, not been published in time for the hearing to be held at this meeting, but it has been set for the regular meeting of July 17, 1979. Commissioner Paone suggested that a six-month moratorium be attached to the approval of any general plan amendment which would prohibit issuance of building permits during that period, and Commissioner Bazil requested that such a moratorium be instead used to prohibit filing of any applications on the property. Counsel Georges outlined the process of applying a moratorium and the time period for which it might be applied. 1 -2- 7-3-79 - P.C. Minutes, H.B. Planning Commission July 3, 1979 Page 3 Extensive discussion took place among the Commissioners, the applicant, and staff in regard to the action of the Commission on June 5, 1979 - whether it had been the intent of the Com- mission that a general plan amendment actually be processed through the public hearing or, as staff had understood, the hear- ing was to explore the possibility of processing a general plan amendment and to discuss the merits of proceeding with that amendment prior to completion of the Local Coastal Plan. Time constraints involved in noticing and publishing the public hear- ing in the event that the Commission wished General Plan Amend- ment 79-2 processed at the July 17 meeting were reviewed. A MOTION WAS MADE BY BAZIL AND SECONDED BY RUSSELL AS FOLLOWS: STAFF IS DIRECTED TO REVIEW THE TAPE OF THE MEETING OF JUNE 5, 1979. IF THE TAPE REVEALS THAT A MOTION WAS MADE TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT, EVERY EFFORT SHALL BE MADE BY STAFF TO EXPEDITE REQUIRED ADVERTISING SO THAT THIS HEARING CAN BE HELD AT THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING (ON JULY 17, 1979). IF THE TAPE DOES NOT ENDORSE THIS PROCEDURE, THE HEARING AS PRESENTLY ADVERTISED SHALL BE HELD. MOTION CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Russell, Cohen, Bazil, Paone NOES: Stern ABSENT: Higgins ABSTAIN: None REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS: PRECISE PLAN OF STREET ALIGNMENT NO. 79-4 Initiated by the Department of Development Services To establish Lake Street at a 90-foot right-of-way between Indianapolis Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. Secretary Palin reviewed the precise plan and outlined the action of the City Council on Precise Plan 79-3 which had established the same right-of-way width for the northerly portion of Lake Street. He noted that some confusion had occurred at the Council meeting in regard to the street width, and the Commission in- structed that the transmittal specifically point out that both precise plans consist of a narrowing of the width of Lake as it is presently depicted in the Circulation Element, not the widen- ing of that street as it currently exists. The public hearing was opened. No one was present to address the Commission in regard to the proposal, and the public hearing was closed. Commission review of the recommendations of the Traffic Engineer and the Local Coastal Citizens Advisory Committee followed,, and the Commission concurred with their suggestion that the-90-foot width be terminated at Orange Avenue to allow for the possibility -3- 7-3-79 - P.C. 1.1111U 1.C5, n.n. r1d1111111y l.U1lLLlllS'1U11 July 3, 1979 Page 4 of a future transportation center at Lake Street and Pacific Coast Highway and to provide flexibility in the engineering design of the intersection of Lake/Atlanta/Orange. It was the consensus of the Commission that if the additional 10 feet of street width from Orange to Pacific Coast Highway is found not to be needed it can be removed from the Circulation Element at a later date. ON MOTION BY BAZIL AND SECOND BY PAONE PRECISE PLAN OF STREET ALIGN- MENT NO. 79-4, AS AMENDED TO TERMINATE AT ORANGE AVENUE, WAS APPROVED FOR RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL, AND RESOLUTION NO. 1249 WAS ADOPTED AS AMENDED TO REFLECT THAT TERMINATION POINT, BY THE FOLLOW- ING VOTE: AYES: Russell, Stern, Cohen, Bazil, Paone NOES: None ABSENT: Higgins ABSTAIN: None TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 10753/NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 79-43 Applicant: F. W. Development To permit a 16-lot single-family subdivision to be constructed on the east side of Lake Street between Utica and Springfield Avenues. Savoy Bellavia pointed out elevations which have been submitted for the Commission's information. The public hearing on the negative declaration and the tract applica- tion was opened. Charles Hermansen was present at the meeting and spoke in favor of his project. There being no other persons to address the Commission the.public hearing was closed. Commission discussion ensued. Commissioner Stern discussed suggested Condition of Approval No. 12, concerning improvement of the street across the abandoned railroad right-of-way, noting that although this is outside the boundary of the tract it would not be desirable to leave those small portions of Utica and Springfield unimproved. The appli- cant expressed his willingness to accept and comply with a condition requiring those improvements. -Commissioner Bazil suggested that Mr. Hermansen consider placing the sidewalks on Utica and Springfield at the curb to provide more footage on the corner lots and avoid a narrow parkway. This would be a deviation from standard plans for street improvements and could be processed in the Department of Public Works.

AYES: Russell, Stern, Cohen, Bazil, Paone NOES: None ABSENT: Higgins ABSTAIN: None ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 79-45/CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 79-17 Applicant: Parking Lot Company of America APPEAL to Board of Zoning Adjustments' approval of a temporary commercial parking lot at the northwest corner of Beach Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway. Commissioner Stern, the appellant in the case, explained the reasons for which he had appealed the requests: The lot is a traffic hazard to both vehicles and pedestrians, it does not comply with City ordinances relating to temporary parking lots, it creates blight, and sets an undesirable precedent for future applications of this nature in other areas of the City. Commissioners Bazil and Russell described the situation that had previously existed on this and other sites near the beach, with indiscriminate and totally uncontrolled parking taking place. It was pointed out that the operator of the subject lot is on a 30-day lease with CalTrans, which makes it economically impossible to install the street improvements as required by code. Legal Counsel Jim Georges researched applicable code sections and gave his opinion that the clear intent of the code is to not permit seasonal parking lots for more than two seasons without requiring installation of improvements. After further extensive discussion it was the consensus of the Commission that, although provision of parking in the area is desirable, there is no legal ground for granting the requests. ON MOTION BY STERN AND SECOND BY COHEN THE DECISION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS WAS REVERSED AND ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 79-45 AND CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 79-17 WERE DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: REASONS FOR DENIAL: 1. No appropriate findings of hardship can be made. 2. The variance does not comply with the Government Code. 3. Granting of the conditional exception would constitute the granting of special privilege. -9- 7-3-79 - P.C. Minutes, H.B. Planning Commission July 3, 1979 Page 10- 4. Granting of the requests would -violate Sections 9730.28 and 9730.28.1 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. AYES: Russell, Stern, Cohen, Bazil, Paone NOES: None ABSENT: Higgins ABSTAIN: None Because of the consensus of -the -Commission that some type of parking in the area --is desirable, -discussion took place on some manner of amending the code so that lots of this type could legally be allowed without burdening a seasonal operator with costly improvements. Commissioner Russell expressed concern with too restrictive ordin- ances and suggested that code investigation needs to go further than just, ownership by governmental bodies (as is the case with the sub- ject parking lot), pointing out that the Edison easement areas are used by business enterprises under special entitlements as well, and there may be other areas of the code which should be investigated so that businesses attempting to operate under various types,of - unusual circumstances will not be discouraged by City requirements. Legal Counsel Jim Georges cautioned that what might apply to a publicly owned property might not apply to privately owned land such as the Edison easements. ON MOTION BY BAZIL AND SECOND BY RUSSELL LEGAL AND PLANNING STAFFS WERE INSTRUCTED TO INVESTIGATE AND BRING BACK TO THE COMMISSION IN THE NEAR FUTURE AS A DISCUSSION ITEM THE POSSIBILITY OF CHANGES IN THE ORDINANCE CODE WHICH COULD INCLUDE OWNERSHIP OF LAND BY A GOVERN- MENTAL'ENTITY'(UPON WHICH ONLY SHORT TERM LEASES COULD BE ACQUIRED) AND OTHER LEGAL MECHANISMS TO BROADEN THE LEGITIMATE CRITERIA FOR GRANTING OF CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION REQUESTS FOR BUSINESSES OF THE NATURE OF THE SEASONAL PARKING LOTS OR SIMILAR USES, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Russell, Stern, Cohen, Bazil, Paone NOES: None ABSENT: Higgins ABSTAIN: None Mr. Georges advised the Commission that upon instructions from the City Attorney all requests for legal opinion must be in the form of a vote action by the body of'the Planning Commission and transmitted in written form by the secretary of the Commission. PLANNING DEPARTMENT ITEMS: Secretary Palin reviewed a communication received from James Georges in regard to two items from the June 19, 1979 meeting upon which im- proper action had been taken by the Planning Commission.
