CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 80-37
Applicant: Ronald Coleman/Forcier Construction
To permit a reduction in required open space from 1,200 sq. ft. to
1,061 sq. ft. located on the north side of Kings Canyon Drive at
9841 Kings Canyon Drive.
This request is a categorical exemption Class 15, California Environ-
mental Quality Act, 1970.
Chairman Tindall introduced the application to the Board. Secretary
Lipps briefly outlined the proposal. He stated that the applicant is
requesting a reduction in open space to allow for a room addition on
the rear portion of the property. The open space would be diminished
(200 feet short), but would conform in every other aspect.
Chairman Tindall opened the public hearing. Mr. Ronald Coleman and
Mr.Khamis (property owner) were present to represent the application.
Secretary Lipps noted that the property backs to Fedmart loading and
receiving area. He explained that the Department of Development Services
had received numerous complaints from Mr. Khamis regarding the large
trucks loading and unloading at various times during the day. Secretary
Lipps explained that a noise study had been conducted on the site by the
County and that Fedmart had never been cited for extreme noise.
Mr. Khamis stated that the noise study had been done on his property and
not at the property line. He further stated that he had requested a
study be one for one (1) week, which was not done.

Secretary Lipps noted that the noise study was .mentioned as a point
information for the Board of Zoning Adjustments only.
Mr. Comas stated that the addition would help to mitigate noise and
visual intrusion, and that the addition would be used as a family and
dining room.
Chairman Tindall questioned the applicant on the type of windows to be
installed. He stated that a double insulation type of glass would help
further mitigate noise.
Mr. Coleman (contractor) stated that a standard wood type window
would be used.
Chairman Tindall noted that the home (with the addition) would be even
closer to the back wall. Further discussion followed. There being no
other parties present to speak, Chairman Tindall closed the public hearing.
Secretary Lipps requested that the minutes reflect that the Board advised
the applicant that further structural modifications should be made to the
addition in order to accomplish his intent.
ON MOTION BY LIPPS AND SECOND BY TINDALL, CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION
No. 80-37 WAS APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS, CONDITIONS OF APPR L
BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
FINDINGS:
I. -The granting of the Conditional Exception is justified because of the
location of the subject property to the adjacent commercial use and
the applicant's statement that the addition will mitigate the noise
and visual intrusion of the commercial use.
2 The granting of the Conditional Exception will not constitute a grant
of a special privilege inconsistent upon other properties in the
vicinity and under an identical zone classification.
3. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property,
including size, shape, topograhpy, location, or surroundings, the
strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the
subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the
vicinity and under identical zone classifications.
4. The granting of a Conditional Exception is necessary in order to
preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
S. The granting of a Conditional Exception will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare, or injurious to property in
the same zone classifications.
6. The granting of the Conditional Exception will not adversely affec
the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach.

Applicant: C.L. Iverson
To permit a driveway entrance to garage from an arterial and not

402 7th Street.
This request is a categorical exemption Class 5, California Environ-
mental Quality Act, 1970.
Mr. Iverson was present to represent the application.
Chairman Tindall opened the public hearing. Secretary Lipps briefly
described the proposal, stating that the applicant desired to construct
a garage and build an addition to the home.
Mr. Iverson stated that a garage had existed, but was destroyed by
heavy wind. He was proposing to build on the exact area of the destroyed_
garage. He further stated that he is presently parking in the area where
the garage was located. (A curb cut exists on Orange).
Chairman Tindall suggested that an alternative location might be researche,
He stated that the Code does not allow for vehicle access from an
arterial unless there are no other access points. He recommended
locating the garage in the alley.
Mr. Iverson stated that a window protrudes and would not allow adequate
space for a regular size car.
Chairman Tindall explained to the applicant that Orange Avenue is
designated as a four lane arterial which will be realigned with Atlanta.

weeks (August 27, 1980) to allow the Board to investigate and research
