To permit an addition to a residence on property with a non -conform-
ing yard.- Property located at 712 Delaware Street' (Oldtown Specific

mental Quality Act, 1970.
Acting Secretary Spencer stated that prior to the meeting of July
28, 1982, the Board was informed that they could not act on Use
Permit No. 82-22 due to its appropriateness. Subsequently, at the
meeting of July 28, 1982, the application was referred to the Planning
Commission for hearing. Since this meeting, the.application was
reviewed in depth and found to be a proper application for action
by the Board of Zoning Adjustments.
Acting Secretary Spencer requested that the Board Members give
reconsideration to the previous action taken on Use Permit No. 82-22

Acting Secretary Spencer addressed the Board and stated that the
Board may wish to reopen the public hearing or may choose not to do so.
He stated that the Board was in receipt of information that the
structure above the applicants garage was approved by a permit in
August of 1951 as a rumpus room and has never been used as a
habitable use. Information indicates that the property is a single-
family dwelling, with an accessory building, non -conforming in height
and setback requirements. When a single-family dwelling unit is
non -conforming because of yard conformance, the Board of Zoning may
act on a Use Permit application providing that the addition conforms
to today's Code requirements.
The area of dedication was discussed as outlined in Section 9730.4
and Section 9730.6 of the Code. Acting Secretary Spencer stated
that if the value of the addition exceeds one-third (1/3) value of
the existing structure's value, then a two and one-half (2-1/2)
foot dedication for alley purpose will have to be made. Prior to
issuance of building permits, this determination will have to be
made by a building official.
It was stated that open space and open space dimensions meets today's
Code requirements. At the time of construction of the rumpus room
zoning was R-2 (since changed to Oldtown Specific Plan) with the
fifteen (15) foot height of the accessory building allowed which
coincides with the main dwelling unit.
Board Member Smith stated that after hearing the above information
he felt that the standard.findings mandated by the Code for a'Use
Permit application were applicable to this proposal and that it was
not necessary to reopen the public hearing.
ON MOTION BY SMITH AND SECOND BY SPENCER, USE PERMIT NO. 82-22 WAS
APPROVED WITH REASONS, FINDINGS, AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOLLOWING,
BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
REASONS AND FINDINGS:
1. Although the applicants
proposed addition to the
to the present day Code
have a non -conforming yard, the
applicants residence will conform
requirements.
2. The proposed addition is found not to be detrimental to
the general welfare of persons residing or working in the
vicinity or property and improvements in the vicinity of
such use or building.
3. The granting of this Use Permit will not adversely affect
the'General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach.

USE PERMIT NO. 82-23
Applicant: R. Wood and W. Goodman
To permit construction of garages more than 150 ft. from front
setback. Garage at zero property line setback. Addition to
property with non -conforming yards. Property located at 718 and
720 Williams Street, zoned R-2, Two Family Residence District.
Acting Secretary Spencer outlined the proposal and stated that
this request is Categorically Exempt, Class. 5, California
Environmental Quality Act. It was stated that the maximum height
of accessory buildings per Code within the R-2, medium density
residential district, with rear yard setback of ten (10) feet
and interior sideyards of five (5) feet, shall not exceed fifteen
(15) feet. -In a typical planned residential development, garages
at zero property line setback are required -to be constructed of
a maintenance free solid masonry material with a maximum height
of nine (9) feet. It was further stated by Acting Secretary
Spencer -that the Board has no history if subject lot was legally
created. He suggested that if the Board acts favorably on this
application, proof of the lots legal creation should be submitted
prior to issuance of building permits. It was also stated that the
property is physically lacking public improvements as no sidewalk
was shown on the plan.
Acting;Chairman Evans opened the public hearing with Mr. Ronald Wood
and Mr. William Goodman present to speak in favor of their proposal.
Mr. Wood addressed the Board and responded to the comment about
the sidewalk. He said they had previously visited our Public Works
Department and were told specifically that the sidewalk would not
be a requirement. He said they have owned the property for six or
seven years and have made no improvements to the property to date.
They thought of tearing down the apartments and rebuilding but
after investigating found interest rates and construction costs too
high. They have now decided to rehabilitate their eight (8) existing
units which will include new roofs, landscaping, interior and exterior
improvements. He stated they have been in contact with -Ulrich
Stenzel, our Grading Engineer, regarding the drainage problem
on their property. The proposed six (6) new double garages
at the rear of their property are to only accommodate their tenants.
The reason for the height is that possibly some of. their tenants
may have R.V.'s or boats along with storage. They wish to make
the garages larger than standard size to accommodate all uses.

The Board asked the applicant if he would be receptive to the
garage wall being at a height of nine (9) feet located at zero
property line. He responded "No", we need the height for our
tenants use. It was suggested to the applicant by the Board,
that since he has extra open space area by revising his plan
a little, by moving the garages forward at a 10 ft. rear yard
setback with 5 ft. sideyard setbacks, he could solve the situation
for larger garages and obtain the requested height of 14 feet.
The applicant felt that as his property abuts commercial property
in the rear, zoned C-4 with a parking lot directly in the rear of
his property, that a fourteen foot high garage wall at a zero
setback should not be a problem.
The public hearing was closed by Acting Chairman Evans.
Board discussion ensued. The stark appearance of the wall at a
zero setback was explained to the applicant. He was informed
that other decretionary actions by the Planning Commission and
this Board have not approved garage walls exceeding a height over
nine (9) feet at the zero property line.
A motion was made by Board Member Smith which failed for lack
of a second. He felt that as the applicants property abuts
commercially zoned property, and as the applicants were improving
the property considerably (including the drainage problem), along
with helping alleviate the on -street parking prevailing all over
the City, the plan submitted should be approved.
Board discussion continued in an effort to reach a motion.
ON MOTION BY EVANS AND SECOND BY SPENCER, USE PERMIT NO. 82-23
WAS APPROVED WITH REASONS, FINDINGS, AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
IMPOSED AS FOLLOWS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
1. As base district requires a ten (10) ft. rear yard setback
it would serve no useful purpose becoming a maintenance problem,
coupled with the fact that said rear yard abuts commercially
zoned property - a zero rear yard would be a reasonable request.
2. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the use -will
not be detrimental to:
a. The general welfare of persons residing or working in the
vicinity;
b. Property and improvements in the vicinity of such use
or building.
3. The granting of a use permit will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach.
4. The proposal is consistent with the City's General Plan of
Land Use,

CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 82-46
To permit a second story residential structure to encroach
219" into required 15' front setback.
HEARD IN CONJUNCTION WITH
USE PERMIT'NO. 82 46 'i
To permit an addition to a single family dwelling with non-
conforming garage setback.
Both applications were submitted by Mr. George Alemshah for
property located at 16722 Intrepid Lane.
Acting Chairman Evans introduced the proposals and stated that
both requests are categorically exempt, Class. 5, California
Environmental Quality Act, 1970.
Acting Secretary Spencer stated that when the subject property
was developed in 1964, the applicants tract was administratively
approved with 7-1/2 foot front yard setbacks. The applicant
is proposing to add to his two-story residential structure a
fill-in above his existing two -car garage adding a four foot three
inch (413") deck. As the Code requires a minimum front yard
setback at fifteen (15) feet, a variance is requested for the
two foot nine inch (219") encroachment into the fifteen (15) foot
front yard .setback and a Use Permit application for the addition
to a single family dwelling with a non -conforming yard.
The public hearing was opened, for both applications, by Acting
Chairman Evans.
Mr. George Alemshah, Architect for the project, introduced himself
to the Board. He submitted a list of addresses to the Board Members
consisting'of other homes in the immediate vicinity of Mr. and
Mrs. Shape's (property owners) home which have identical/similar
additions to what they are proposing. He felt that the addition
for a pool room above Mr. and Mrs. Sharpe's garage would not
impact the neighborhood.
The public hearing for both applications was closed by Acting
Chairman Evans.
Board discussion ensued. It was the consensus of the Board
Members that these requests were one's of parity with the surroundin
homes and, as the proposed addition conforms to all applicable
provisions of the Code, the requests should be granted.
