USE PERMIT NO. 83-39

C.E. Request: To permit reduction in driveway width along side
of building.
U.P. Request: To permit 1,809 square foot addition to a building.
Subject property located at 16800 Beach Boulevard (west/flood control).

Conditional Exception is a Class. 3 and the Use Permit is a Class. 1,
both Categorically Exempt under the California Environmental Quality
Act, 1970.
Secretary Godfrey reiterated that at the Board Meeting of July 13, 19 ,
Mr. Whitney had requested a reconsideration of denial action taken
by the Board as he agreed to modify his site plan taking into con-
sideration the concerns of the Board, e.g. removal of the auto

repair located at the rear of the property which by moving the
building back farther on the lot would provide a thirty (30) foot
drive approach from Beach Boulevard, eliminate a conflict with
parking, allow a better parking layout, and provide sufficient
turning movement into the lube bays.
The revised site plan was submitted to the Board Members for their
review which included the auto repair building located at the back
of the property.
Acting Chairman Evans reopened the Public Hearing allowing the
applicant to address the Board on their concerns.
Mr. Whitney stated that the new plan increased the drive width and
turn around area to the west by four (4) feet. He stated that his
original intent was to omit the auto service located at the rear of
the property and move parking from the front to the rear, but that
when he worked on the "numbers" they did not make sense. He stated
that when he checked into the Code requirements he found out that
for every 500 square feet one parking space is required. This meant
three (3) parking stalls need to be provided on the site, in lieu of
five (5) originally proposed, in addition to the four (4) within the
lube bays.
The Board informed the applicant the trash enclosure could not be
located at the rear of the building, there was a concern with park-
ing, etc. The Board Members, realizing that the width of the ap-
plicants property was creating his problem, felt that Mr. Whitney
should meet with Staff to work out a redesign of his plan prior to
the next Board Meeting. Mr. Whitney concurred. -

The application was introduced by Acting Chairman Evans who in-
formed all concerned that this request is Categorically Exempt,
Class. 5, California Environmental Quality Act, 1970.
Secretary Godfrey stated that Staff is asking the Board to con-
sider denial of this request and outlined suggested reasons for
denial. He stated that the Code requires 1,200 square feet of
open space with a minimum dimension of twenty-five (25) feet;
that open space is met on the property at 1,275 square feet but
that the applicant cannot meet the minimum dimension to accom-
modate a room addition to an existing dwelling. He stated that
the encroachment would be inconsistent with other entitlements
in the vicinity under this zone classification and, if approved,
may set a precedence for future requests of this kind. The
original subdivision created this lot at the existing width. The
lots adjacent are wider, the intent being to average lot widths
so as to have the average lot areas 6,000 square feet. Some of
the lots would have to be of less than average and would accommo-
date smaller structures thereby creating some variation in home
size. This lot is such a lot. The existing structure meets the
requirements for open space but the new addition would reduce the
minimum dimension. It is felt that by approval of this encroach-
ment into the rear yard area it would extend into an area to be
used for active and passive activities and would minimize impacts
created between properties.
The Public Hearing was opened by Acting Chairman Evans.
Mr. Robey addressed the Board. He stated that his home is not
typical of other homes in the vicinity. His property is fifty (50)
feet wide. Most adjacent properties are sixty (60) feet wide. He
stated that his particular model is the largest home in the sub-
division. Further, that other additions within his tract having
the same model home do not require a variance when their lot area is
6,000 square feet as they can accommodate their minimum dimension
within the front yard area. If his home had not been placed back
so far on the lot he could have met the open space as well as the
minimum dimension required by Code.
It was the feeling of most of the Board Members that as the appli-
cant's lot is less than standard width and had the house not been
setback thirty-four (34) feet from the property line, the applicant
could have built this addition without a variance and for this rea-
son felt approval of this conditional exception was justified.

ing dwelling would be consistent with what exists throughout

ly detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to properties

Acting Chairman'Evans stated that the Conditional Exception is a
Class. 5 and that the Administrative Review is a Class. 3, both
Categorically Exempt under the California Environmental Quality
Act of 1970.
Secretary Godfrey informed the Board Members that the existing
structure had'been a pump station -for the Orange County Sanitation
District which has now been abandoned because of construction of
a sewer intercepter line. The structure is nonconforming with
relation to existing sideyard. The nonconforming situation came
about because -of a right-of-way taking on Hamilton and Newland for
street purposes. For the Board's consideration, Secretary Godfrey
mentioned that technically three ,(3) parking spaces would be re-
quired with backing out movement out into Newland Street to
get vehicles out of the parking area.
The Public Hearing was opened by Acting Chairman Evans.
Bill Studley introduced himself to the Board. He stated that the
Orange County Sanitation District is contemplating selling the prop-
erty to Mr. Howe. The site has been abandoned as a pump station.
He stated they bought the land in the late fifties and it was de-
creased in size as they gave'the City the right-of-way for widening
of the Hamilton and Newland intersection. There was no condemnation -
a free gift to the City. He stated they operated subjects for
twenty (20)'years and now it's surplus and that they would like to
sell it. He said the district has an offer contingent upon what
Mr. Howe can use it for. Mr. Howe is in the business of mobile
home remodeling. He operates his business solely by himself and
would use the site for an office and storage of aluminum products,
etc. mostly inside of the building which has a basement previously
used by the district for a wet well housing,a large pump. The
basement is located fifteen (15) feet below the ground floor. The
ground floor is up about three (3) to four (4) foot above the side-
walk. Mr. Studley felt that the traffic generated by the,proposed
use would be similar to what has transpired over the past twenty
(20) years. Mr. Howe addressed -the Board and stated that he felt
that the refurbishing of the landscaping within ninety (90) days of
permitted use would not create a problem.
The Public Hearing was closed by Acting Chairman Evans.
Findings and conditions of approval were discussed. Acting Chairman
Evans expressed his concern vehicles backing out onto an arterial
highway.

CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 83-34
IN CONJUNCTION WITH
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 83-39
FINDINGS FOR C.E. NO. 83-34:
1. The granting of the conditional exception will not constitute
a grant of special privilege in that subject property is located
on a lot with less than standard size because portions of the
property were given up for street widening purposes.
2. The strict application of the zoning ordinance would deprive
the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties
in the subdivision. There are exceptional circumstances be-
cause of the size of the lot which would deprive this property
of privileges enjoyed by other properties. The existing struc-
ture, except for the sideyard, meets setback requirements, land-
scaping and has an architectural treatment which is compatible
with the neighborhood.
3. The existing structure and use would be consistent with what
exists within the vicinity.
4. The granting of the conditional exception will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious -to property in
the same zone classification.
5. The granting of the conditional exception will not adversely
affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR C.E. NO. 83-34:
1. That the plot plan submitted July 7, 1983 be the conceptually
approved layout.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR A. R. NO. 83-39:

accordance with Article 979 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance
Code prior to occupancy of the building.

ments of Development Services and Public Works for review and ap-
proval prior to occupancy. Installation and rehabilitation of
the approved landscaping shall be accomplished within 90 days
of permitted use.

CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 83-35
Applicant: Allen J. Stroh
To permit a reduction of open space area to 420 square feet with
a 20 foot minimum dimension and reduction of minimum dimension from
20 feet to 18 feet and 112- feet. Property is located at 18071
Freshwater Circle (west side of street).
Board Member Smith excused himself from the hearing of subject ap-
plication -as his home is located within the same subdivision.
Chairman Evans introduced the application and stated that this re-
quest is Categorically Exempt, Class. 5, California Environmental
Quality Act, 1970.
Secretary Godfrey informed the Board that Staff has recommended
denial of Conditional Exception No. 83-35. He stated that the
single-family dwellings in the applicant's tract were originally
approved by the City Council through a variance to reduce the
minimum lot size. Because of this previous variance approval, the
subject property is not standard in size. The subject property was
legally subdivided and developed in a manner consistent with appli-
cable zoning laws. It was felt there were no special topographical
features or any unique characteristics related to the land which
faces the lake at Central Park.
The Public Hearing was opened by Acting Chairman Evans.
Mr. Stroh addressed the Board. He stated that they have a twenty
(20) foot setback at the rear of their home and -that their lot is
one of the smallest in the subdivision. They are proposing two
additions; -one on the north side of the home and one on the east
side mainly for privacy and elimination of noise as they have a
five (5) feet sideyard setback with their neighbors television room
adjacent to their bedroom. He outlined two other similar variances
within his tract which were granted approval and felt that he should
be allowed to exercise the same privileges as allowed his neighbors.
The Public Hearing was closed.

It was felt that the park across the street would provide re-
creational open space and that if the addition were permitted
parity would be granted the applicant.
ON MOTION BY VOGELSANG AND SECOND BY EVANS, CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION
NO. 83-35, WAS APPROVED WITH FINDINGS, CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND
VOTE FOLLOWING:
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 83-35
FINDINGS:
1.
The single-family residences in the applicant's tract were
originally approved by the City Council through a variance
to be substandard in size and without the requested reduc-
tion in open space/minimum dimension, a reasonable size
addition would be prohibitive.
2.
Due to the fact that the applicant's lot is only 50 feet in
width, 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.
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
rights.
5.
The granting of the conditional exception will not adversely
affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1.
The site plan, floor plan, and elevations dated July 8, 1983
shall be the approved conceptual layout.
2.
The addition shall conform architecturally to the ekisting
structure relative to surface texture and roof material.
3. A second -story addition is not permitted on the site.
