Commission discussion took place. Commissioner Porter asked the
Deputy City Attorney if there was any legal appeal in this case since
the reason for appeal was never stated. Mr. Folger stated that Mr.
Porter was correct, however, since the item was advertised that the
best thing to do now was to go ahead with the item. Commissioner
Mahaffey made a motion to approve Use Permit 81-40 and overrule the
BZA denial. This motion failed for lack of a second. Commissioner
Mahaffey stated that he felt the Commission was "putting the man out
of business" by upholding the BZA denial, and that he would vote
against this.
ON MOTION BY SCHUMACHER AND SECOND BY HIGGINS THE BZA DENIAL OF USE
PERMIT NO. 81-40 WAS UPHELD WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS, BY THE
FOLLOWING VOTE:
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL:
1. Not an allowed use in a RA zone. Use is appropriate in M2 (Heavy
Industrial) zone subject to the granting of a use permit.
2. The granting of a use permit would adversely affect the General
Plan of the City of Huntington Beach by permitting the manufac-
turing of fertilizer in an area of the City designated as estate
residential in the General Plan.
3. The proposal is not consistent with the City's General Plan of
land use which designates the land use as estate residential.
AYES: Higgins, Livengood, Winchell, Porter, Schumacher
NOES: Mahaffey
ABSENT: Paone
ABSTAIN: None
Chairman Winchell suggested that Item C-3 be taken up before Item
C-2 due to the audience response by those persons present that were
interested in Item C-3.
ZONE CHANGE NO. 82-4/NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 82-10
Initiated by the City of Huntington Beach
To permit a change of zone from M1-A-O to LUD-O on 38+ acres of pro-
perty located at the southwest corner of Magnolia Street and Hamilton
Avenue. The Chairman explained the definition of the LUD-O zoning
to be sure that persons wishing to address the Commission understood
that the proposed zoning would be much more restrictive than the pre-
sent M1-A-O designation.
The public hearing was opened.

Although the public response was in favor of making the proposed zone
change, most people felt that some sort of permanent zoning be placed
on the property. One person suggested Recreational Open Space as a
possible solution. Ron Titus mentioned that the State of California
can overrule any local ruling. Staff will investigate this statement.
The public hearing was closed.

APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL:

combined with oil production, to LUD-O, Limited Use District com-
bined with oil production, is consistent with the current General

rounding land uses which include a community park, single family
homes, oil storage tanks and vacant land.

development of single family residences on each lot, on about 15 acres
of property located on the northeast corner of Edwards Street and
Schleicher Road, approximately 1,000 feet south of Ellis Avenue.
Jim Barnes gave a brief summary and update on this item. He listed
several amendments to the conditions of approval suggested in the
staff report. He stated that it was still staffs feeling that be-
cause this project was being approved ahead of the EIR being pre-
pared for Ellis-Goldenwest area, it may inhibit Planning Commission's
ability to make an informed decision.
The public hearing was opened. David Dahl, the applicant, gave a
brief presentation along with some conceptual drawings. Commissioners
had some questions regarding access onto three lots. Mr. Dahl stated
that there would be a bridge to the three lots in question. Linda
Moon, representing 800 horse owners, and Connie Mandic also spoke in
favor of approval of the project. The public hearing was closed.
Secretary Palin reported on the many changes that were made to the
plans as a result of many hours spent with the developer. Various
conditions were discussed by the Commissioners. The applicant was
in agreement with the changes that were discussed. However, he called
attention to Condition #15 of the conditions of approval on the TT,
asking (in letter form) that modifications be made as follows:
"Grading activities, including grading -of lots and building pads,
shall be limited as follows:
1. In areas involving a 1-5% natural slope, grading activity
shall involve not more than 2 foot cut and 2 foot depth of
fill.
2. Areas in which the natural grade is more than 5%, but less
than 8%, the grading activities shall not involve more than
4 foot cut or 4 foot depth of fill.
3. In areas in which the natural grade is in excess of 8%, the
cut or fill amounts shall not exceed 8 feet over 65% of each
lot. The natural existing grade shall be preserved on the
remainder of each lot."
Secretary Palin informed the Commission that he met with several de-

partment heads on the issue of grading, and the consensus was that
the 2 feet will allow a 4 foot differential. Also, the department
heads felt that by allowing more than the 2 foot cut and fill, it
would set a precedence in this area.

Page 11
pany, addressed the Commission in favor of the proposed zone change.
He asked for a higher yield of units that what the staff proposed
(290 units instead of 274). He stated that the site could easily
yield 300+ units and that 290 units would be a fair compromise on

FINDINGS FOR DENIAL:
Minutes, H.B. Planning Commission
April 6, 1982
Page 12
The Planning Commission may approve a conditional use permit if it
finds "the plan will substantially comply with the requirements of
this article, the Master Plan of Land Use and the development stan-
dards for this particular use (9841.5)".
1. Based on the Subdivision Committee's minutes dated January 23,
1976, and the staff report dated February 6, 1976, the proposed
request is in conflict with the original approval within the
European Village of Old World.
2. The proposed use would put added demands on an already strained
parking layout; violations of the Ordinance and Municipal Code
coupled with complaints received by the Land Use Section confirm
that the parking area is over -taxed.

Initiated by City of Huntington Beach
An amendment repealing Article 973 of Division 9 of the Huntington

trative review for the following -uses: 1) care of non -related per-
sons; 2) temporary parking lots; 3) home occupation swimming instruc-
tion, and 4) temporary outdoor events (formerly special events).
Said amendment also establishes a permit for temporary construction
facilities and allows a use permit application for trailers to be
