mental Quality Act, 1970
Mr. C.L. Iverson and Mr. Gunnell were present to represent the application.
Chairmain Crosby introduced the application to the Board. Secretary
Spencer briefly outlined the request noting that the applicant desired
to utilize.an existing drive approach, however, the Code mandates that_
access be from the alley in the Old Town area. He futher stated that
the -:Board had met with the applicant at the site in order to discuss the
alternatives.

years; and only wanted -to -replace a garage that had been destroyed.

He further stated that access from'the alley would be impossible as
a building -exists where access would be necessary.
Fire Representative Kelly expressed concern regarding hazardous traffic
conditions resulting from backing out of the drive onto the highly traveled
Orange Avenue. He noted that the master plan of streets and highways
eventually designates Orange Avenue as an arterial.
Mr. Iverson stated that most homes along 7th Street also have drives
off Orange Avenue,, as does,his driveway. He'stressed that he had been
using the,drive apron even though the garage had been demolished.'
Further Board discussion ensued. Chairman Crodby closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION BY CROSBY AND SECOND BY KELLY, CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 80-38
WAS APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS, REASONS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
FINDINGS:
1. 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 as an existing drive is
located on the subject property.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable.to the subject property,
including size, shape, topography, 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 as the physical arrangement of
existing structure on the parcel prohibits access from adjacent alley.
3. The granting of a Conditional Exception is necessary.in order to preserve
the enjoyment of.one or more substantial property rights.
4. The granting of a,Conditional Exception will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare, or injurious to property in the same zone classif-
ication.
5. The -granting of the Conditional Exception will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach.
REASON FOR APPROVAL:
1. As the physical arrangement of existing structure on applicant's parcel
prohibits access from adjacent alley and access from the local street
would create an undue hardship by placing the bulk of existing passive
garden area into surfaced driveway. Coupled with the fact that the
request is for a replacement of a previous garage structure which woul
take access from an existing improved driveway.
