ORAL COMMUNICATIONS:
Mr. Martin Springfield, 17191 Golden View, Huntington Beach, ad-
dressed the Commission in regard to the possibility of establishing
a small beauty care shop in a mixed use development at Heil Avenue
and Gothard Street. He asked for some amelioration of what he
termed the excessive number of parking spaces required for such an
operation. Savoy Bellavia explained that the three chair shop as
proposed would require 9 spaces and only 4 are available to handle
the use; furthermore, the beauty shop is not included in the list
of approved uses for this development and the project would also
require a request to expand the Commission's resolution under
which the mixed use development was approved. After discussion,
the applicant was cautioned that it is unlikely that the Commission
Minutes, Huntington Beach Planning Commission
March 17, 1981
Page 2
would be willing to amend the resolution; he was, however, informed
of the application procedure in the event he chooses to pursue the
matter.
Larry Anderson, attorney representing homeowners' associations in
the area of his concern, addressed the Commission to discuss the
pending proposals for highrise development at Beach Boulevard and
Warner Avenue as they may affect traffic in the immediate vicinity.
He also discussed the possibility of a traffic signal at Beach and
Terry and the impacts which recent developments have had on that
intersection. Mr. Anderson pointed out that there had been a recom-
mendation made in 1977 that this particular intersection be provided
with a traffic signal, and asked that the matter be investigated and
a report made to residents of the area.
REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS:
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 79-23/TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 10853
Applicant: Mola Development Company
Operations plan for the excavation of an existing landfill located
southeast of the intersection of Bolsa Chica Street and Warner Avenue
to permit construction of a 224-unit condominium project.
Jim Barnes gave a brief review of the project and the conditions im-
posed on its approval and introduced the consultant whose firm had
prepared the plan before the Commission for adoption.
Jim Crisp of BCL, consultant, reviewed the plan as presented and re-
sponded to questions from the Commission in regard to specific areas
such as noise generation, hours of operation, and methods of air
quality monitoring. He noted that changes in the monitoring plan
which were suggested by the South Coast Air Quality Management District
have been addressed and included in the plan; he also informed the
Commission that West Covina has deemed the EIR accurate and adequate
for its purpose. The State Health Department has submitted a letter
of certification at the request of the City of West Covina; that
jurisdiction has not yet had time to evaluate the letter, but Mr.
Crisp indicated that he anticipates it will be found to satisfy the
city's concerns.
The operations plan was reviewed and discussed at length by the Com-
mission and staff.
ON MOTION BY KENEFICK AND SECOND BY BANNISTER THE PLANNING COMMISSION
APPROVED THE OPERATION PLAN FOR THE EXCAVATION PHASE OF TENTATIVE

ZONE CHANGE NO. 81-1 (Cont. from 3-3-81)
Applicant: William J. Scott
To permit a change of zone from R2 to R2-0 on property located at
the northeast corner of Clay Avenue and Holly Street.
Savoy Bellavia pointed out that the staff recommendation on this
application has been modified to reflect the designation of the
"0" suffix on the area around the existing oil tanks as well as
on the originally recommended 25 x 60 foot areas around each
onsite well.
Chairman Winchell, noting that the public hearing had been opened
and closed on March 3 and that Commissioners Kenefick and Bauer,
who were absent from that meeting, have not listened to the tape
of the hearing, inquired of legal counsel what the correct pro-
cedure would be. Jim Georges of the City Attorney's office
responded that legally to vote or abstain in such a case is at
the discretion of the individual commissioner; however, it is con-
sidered improper to vote on a matter which one has not heard and
he would recommend that a vote not be cast by anyone not present
at the hearing unless he has subsequently listened to the tape
of the meeting. He noted that it would be permissible to reopen
the public hearing on this matter. Commissioner Kenefick noted
that, although the staff report,is quite thorough, she would per-
sonally prefer that the applicant have another opportunity to
speak.
The public hearing was reopened.
William Scott, applicant, discussed the uses adjoining his re-
quested zone change and said that he feels the "0" designation
would be compatible with those uses.
Don Weir, 401 20th Street, cited other zone change requests of
the same nature which had been granted by the City Council on
appeal from the Commission's denial or from the decrease in the
area allotted for the "0" designation, and urged that the Com-
mission grant the request for the total acreage as desired by
the applicant.
There were no other persons to speak for or against the proposal
and the public hearing was closed.
The Commission discussed the comparative circumstances surround-
ing each of the recent zoning requests, the changing energy
situation in the City and the country, and the intent of staff
in making its recommendation for the smaller "O"-designated
areas.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY KENEFICK TO DENY ZONE CHANGE NO. 81-1.
MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.

Jim Georges advised that if no action is taken by the Planning Commis-
sion within the mandatory processing period (in this case by April 4,
1981, which inaction at this meeting will make impossible to attain)
the application is automatically deemed denied. This denial may be
appealed to the City Council.
The Commission recessed at 8:10 p.m. and reconvened at 8:15.
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 81-01 (Cont. from 3-3-81)
Applicant: Pacific Design & Development
To permit a reduction in parking stall size for a project located on
the east side of Gothard Street south of Heil Avenue.
Chairman Winchell observed that the Commission finds itself in the
same position on this request as on the previous one, in that two
members were not present at the prior public hearing.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY BANNISTER AND SECONDED BY WINCHELL THAT CONDI-
TIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 80-01 BE APPROVED WITH THE FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS
OUTLINED IN THE STAFF REPORT.
In the ensuing review the Commission discussed the parking management
program developed for the original construction of this mixed use
project, the commercial parking standards, and the location of the
spaces requested to be reduced in relation to the commercial portions
of the development. Commissioner Bannister asked if Mr. Springfield's
proposed use which had been discussed earlier in the meeting should
happen to have been located in this particular project could the re-
duced spaces have been used to provide the adequate required number of
parking. Upon being informed by staff that this could have been so
interpreted, he noted that in that case the Planning Commission would
be'granting an exception for undersized spaces to satisfy code require-

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 80-28/TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 11272
Applicant: Donald B. Ayres Jr./Roger DeYoung (Cont. from 12-2-80)
To permit a one -lot subdivision of 5.24 gross acres on the north-
west corner of Atlanta Avenue and Delaware Street to allow the
construction of a 76-unit condominium development.
Jim Barnes described the aspects of the project for which a
special permit has been requested: Building bulk, roof variation
and four -foot offset, and decreased recreation opan space area.
He noted that in the opinion of the staff other amenities have
been incorporated into the project which offset those areas in
which the plan is still short of compliance, and the staff is
recommending approval.
The public hearing was opened.
Ren Newcomb, representing the applicants, addressed the Commis-
sion to describe the changes made to the project since its last
hearing in an attempt to bring the project closer to code compli-
ance, given the constraint of the slabs already being in place.
There were no other persons present to address the proposal,
and the public hearing was closed.

The project was extensively reviewed by the Commission, and it
was the consensus that, although it was apparent that the developer
had done all he could do to bring this particular project closer
to code compliance, the Commission was not happy with the design of
the project and did not wish it to establish a precedent under
which future developers will come to them with pads already in place
for apartments and expect to construct condominiums thereon in the
name o.f providing affordable housing.
Chairman Winchell asked that the conditions of approval address the
continued affordability of the low-cost units to be included in the
project. Steve Kohler, Senior Housing and Community Development
Specialist, reported that the Orange County Housing Authority usually
provides a condition for 30-year continued affordability in the grant
deeds, allowing the price to rise through the Cost of Living Index
plus value of improvements. Also, its requirements usually contain
an automatic first right of refusal to the Housing Authority.
Also discussed were storage space and the location and screening of
trash receptacles on the site.

the applicant has made substantial progress toward conforming
with standards in Article 936 of the ordinance code pertaining

Applicant: Cole Construction Corporation
To permit a second floor of an Rl dwelling to encroach five (5)
feet into the required front yard setback on property located
on the south side of Venture Drive approximately 800 feet east of
Typhoon Lane.
The public hearing was opened.
James Cole, president of Cole Construction, addressed the Com-
mission. He submitted photographs of other residences in Hunting-
ton Harbour for which he said similar variances had been granted;
in the ensuing discussion he said these were all on Trinidad
Island, the same location of the subject request.
(Commissioner Bauer left the meeting at this point, 9:30 p.m.)
Mr. Cole informed the Commission that the encroachment has been
discussed with the immediate neighbors and none had any objec-
tion.

The public hearing was closed.
Savoy Bellavia informed the Commission that some of the construc-
tion which encroaches into the setbacks in Huntington Harbour had
been accomplished without conditional exceptions; he noted that
some of the islands had been conditioned for 10-foot setbacks, but
Trinidad Island was not one of these. Secretary Palin also said
that apparently there had at some time in the past been a different
interpretation of the code in this regard and perhaps the better
means of addressing the problem would be by a code amendment.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY KENEFICK AND SECONDED BY SCHUMACHER THAT CON-
DITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 81-7 BE DENIED WITH THE FINDINGS AS OUTLINED
IN THE STAFF REPORT. MOTION FAILED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Kenefick, Winchell, Schumacher
NOES: Bannister
ABSENT: Porter, Bauer
ABSTAIN: None
Legal counsel Jim Georges informed the Commission that failure to
obtain an action results in the automatic continuation of the item
to the next regular meeting.
ON MOTION BY KENEFICK AND SECOND BY WINCHELL THE STAFF WAS DIRECTED
TO LOOK INTO THE EXISTING CODE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE CITY
AND REPORT BACK TO THE COMMISSION ON THE POSSIBILITY OF AMENDING
THE CODE IF NECESSARY, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Bannister, Kenefick, Winchell, Schumacher
NOES: None
ABSENT: Porter, Bauer
ABSTAIN: None
Commissioner Schumacher indicated that this investigation should
also include research into the open space dimensions and square foot-
age requirements as discussed by a developer at a previous meeting.
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 81-02
Applicant: American Balboa Properties
A request for the waiver of the requirement for dedication of street
right-of-way for Banning Avenue on property located north of Banning
Avenue between Brookhurst Street and the Santa Ana River.
June Catalano reported that there is a communication from the Depart-
ment of Public Works outlining its position on this dedication which
has been distributed to the Commission at this meeting.
The public hearing was opened.
Dan Schonville, applicant, addressed the Commission to ask for waiver
of the dedication, describing the dilemma he faces in being asked to
-10- 3-17-81 - P.C.
Minutes, H.B. Planning Commission
March 17, 1981
Page 11
dedicate property which is not under his ownership. He also
informed the Commission that the Sanitation District, from which
he leases the subject site, has refused to make the dedication.
He further stated that at no time during the lengthy processing
of his requested zone change and entitlement application on the
project had any mention been made of the need for dedication of
the proposed Banning Avenue extension until it was applied as a
condition of approval for his use. He outlined the terms of his
lease and the projected time schedule for the completion of
Banning, and stated that granting of a temporary waiver would
not be harmful given the two time frames described.
Michael Golan, also of American Balboa Properties, also spoke
in favor of granting the exception.
There were no other persons to speak for or against the subject
proposal, and the public hearing was closed.
George Tindall explained that if the waiver is granted and con-
struction allowed in its proposed configuration the City, when
it did acquire dedication from the Sanitation District, would
probably have to relocate the drive at its own expense in order
to construct the right-of-way.
Extensive discussion took place between the Commission and the
staff; the Development Services staff was directed to ask the
City Attorney to research the question of obtaining dedication
from another governmental entity.
ON MOTION BY BANNISTER AND SECOND BY KENEFICK CONDITIONAL EXCEP-
TION NO. 81-02 WAS DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS BY THE FOL-
LOWING VOTE:
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL:
1. There are no exceptional circumstances that apply to this
property that deprive the subject property of privileges en-
joyed on other properties in the vicinity and under identical
zone classification because the requirement to dedicate real
property for streets and alleys is required for all proper-
ties prior to issuance of building permits.
2. The approval of this conditional exception would be a grant
of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other
properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classifi-
cation because the requirement to dedicate land for streets
and alleys applies generally to all properties requesting
permits for development.
3. The approval of Conditional Exception No. 81-02 would be
materially detrimental to the public welfare because dedica-

tunity to be heard by a quorum of the Commission.

Applicant: The William B. Lyon Company
Revised Plans and Request for Extension of Time for a proposed
senior citizens complex to be located at the Old Civic Center Site..
Steve Kohler, Senior Housing and Community Development Specialist,
announced that the California Housing Finance Agency Loan Committee
has met and approved the mortgage commitment for this project and
the preparation of working drawings can now begin. He described the
changes to the plan as follows: 155 units are now provided instead
of 157 (within the same building); the 4,000 square feet of commercial
use has been eliminated; an additional elevator has been provided in
the wing adjacent to 6th Street; the configuration of the interior
community spaces has been amended; and the east wing has been shortened
to offer a more generous setback between this facility and the recrea-
tion center.
The Commission reviewed the proposal.
ON MOTION BY BANNISTER AND SECOND BY KENEFICK THE REVISED PLAN WAS
APPROVED AS FOLLOWS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
