repair"located at the rear of the property allowing the building to

ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 83-30 (Continued from 7/20/83)
Applicant: The Huntington Partnership, c/o Michael Croft
To permit installation of controlled parking systems for existing
retail/marina complex, and development of new marina restroom
facilities. Property located at 16400 Pacific Coast Highway
(Peter's Landing).
Acting Chairman Evans introduced the proposal and stated that this
request is Categorically Exempt, Class. 3, California Environmental
Quality Act, 1970.
Howard Zelefsky stated that the reason for continuance from the
meeting of July 20, 1983 was to allow the applicant additional time
to work with the Traffic section of Public Works to come up with an
ulterior design for the proposed parking lot taking into consider-
ation the concerns of the Board. John Cope, Project Manager for the
Huntington Partnership, addressed the Board. He apologized for not
having met with the Traffic division of Public Works as he has been
on vacation. He informed the Board that in November of 1982 they
spent quite a bit of time with both the Fire and Public Works Depart-
ment attempting to resolve the positioning of the mechanical mechanism
for the controlled parking system on Anderson Street. At that time
they were unaware that the main entrance to Peter's Landing, opposite
24th Street, off of Pacific Coast Highway was going to be a problem.
Mr. Cope addressed each access point separately. On Anderson Street
the Fire Departments concern was the turning radius for fire vehicles
to maneuver into Anderson Street off Pacific Coast Highway. He said
they positioned the location of the island in which the control mech-
anism will be placed to address that factor. He thought the Fire
Department would be satisfied with the scheme as shown on the plan.
The control mechanism is proposed to be located back sixty (60) ft.
from the public right-of-way on Anderson Street. This street is
approximately 225 ft. long and services two pieces of property -
Peter's Landing and the Bayport Condominium project which consists
of fifty (50) units. The street will not generate any public traf-
fic other than the homeowners who have their own security entrance
system off of Anderson Street which is virtually right on the right-
ofr-way. He felt that due to the length of the street stacking could
be controlled. Although signalized, Anderson Street is a secondary
access point into the development.
On the main access point, opposite 24th Street, the City at the time
of initial approval required that they install an alley type entrance
which is 150 ft. in length with two (2) lanes in and two (2) lanes
out. Mr. Cope stated that they are prepared to extend the location
of the ticket spitter control mechanism for cars inbound to the
-3- BZA 7/27/83
Minutes: H.B. Board of Zoning Adjustments

Page four
maximum point if necessary but feel that they are locked in some-
what because of the existing circulation and odd configuration of
the parking lot. He stated they will locate the control arm as far
northeast as the Board feels appropriate but unfortunately feel
they are unable to accomplish much more than what is shown on their
plan without a complete redesign of the access point and onsite
circulation. Approximately two (2) years ago Cal -Trans and the City
restriped Pacific Coast Highway for southbound traffic into the pro-
ject with a left turn lane for about"thirty (30) - cars. Mr. Cope
stated that their traffic consultants indicated that they felt the
control mechanism will actually assist with access into the total pro-
ject. During peak hours the-co4trolgmechanism will be manned, if
necessary,-.-allowing-people -tv= ent� "-ethe development quickly preventing
stacking.
Mr. Cope 'outlined=-th'e' reason for the '`proposed 'mec)ianical--inechanism.
Of the 726 parking spaces one-third onsite parking spaces are used
by restaurant employees at,peak hours. It was felt that they would
use designated parking in lieu -of a monetary penalty, if violated,
which would allow convenient readily accessible parking to the general
public, He said this system ,is„ -not intended to be_, a_, revenue,,,producing
source. There are a number of food and" b`evrage.;t�perations-;'in,"the
area (Sunset Beach) that have insufficient 'parking, on -site:,',. Their
patrons, in addition to the beach;tgoers,"use„the_"p3rkirig area at
Peter's Landing. c,
Mr. Cope was asked if he had any objection to the Board's continuing
his application allowing him an opportunity to meet with the Depart-
ments of Fire and Public Works to resolve the concerns of the Board
with regard to stacking, on -site circulation, etc, Mr. Cope concurred
with the Board and asked that a two (2) week continuance be granted.

U.P. Request - To permit a one year extension of time permitting an
addition to a nonconforming single-family dwelling.
Property located at 1019 Huntington Street (west side of street).
Acting Chairman Evans introduced the proposals and stated that both
applications were Categorically Exempt, Class. 5, of the California
Environmental Quality Act, 1970.
Secretary Godfrey informed the Board Members that previously the
applicants had received approval for a Conditional Exception (No.
82-32) which was heard in conjunction with Use Permit No. 82-20.
They had requested a one year extension of time on their Use Permit
Application but as the Code does not have a provision for continuance
of a conditional exception and as work had not been initiated to con-
sumate the conditional exception the applicants had to reapply for a
new conditional exception. He stated that both conditional exception
requests are identical.
The public hearing was opened by Acting Chairman Evans.
Mrs. Wilson addressed the Board stating that the delay was created by
their architect. She submitted to the Board a revised plan which is
to have incorporated conditions as previously imposed on Conditional
Exception No. 82-32 and Use Permit No. 82-20.
Their being no one else present wishing to speak in favor or opposi-
tion of the applicants requests, the public hearing was closed.
As there were no changes in the Code requirements applicable to the
subject applications, previous conditions for approval were reimposed,
ON MOTION BY SMITH AND SECOND BY VOGELSANG, CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO.

to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property
rights.

FOLLOWING:
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 83-36

a grant of special privilege inasmuch as the property is located
within a subdivision in which all front entry garages are con-
structed at the twenty (20) ft. setback.
2. The strict application of the zoning ordinance would deprive
the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties

ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 83-37
Applicant: Don Walton
To permit 11,000 sq. ft. industrial building. Property located at
17912 Sampson Circle (east side of street).
The proposal was'introyduced by Acting Chairman Evans who stated that
this request is covered by Negative Declarations No. 82-7 and 82-23.
Suggested conditions of approval were outlined by Howard Zelefsky.
A review of the applicant's plan revealed that although twenty (20)
onsite parking spaces were provided for the industrial building as
required by Code, poor circulation prevailed within the narrow
100 ft. in depth parking area.
Mr. Walton introduced himself to the Board and addressed the parking
issue. He stated that he manufactures cork products. With the in-
clusion of his employees he requires a total of eight (8) parking
spaces with twenty (20) provided.As he owns the property adjacent
to the proposed industrial building should the need for expansion
arise he could eradicate the property line having one continuous
manufacturing operation under one roof with a doorway between both
buildings which is why he chose this particular design. Concern
with a change of use was expressed to the applicant. Mr. Walton
pointed out the location of an overhead door with enough open space
provided in .front to accommodate the turning of trucks, etc. if the
parking lot was completely full.
Although felt to be marginal, Acting Chairman Evans expressed con-
cern with the parking area not lending itself to safe cir-
lation for anyone backing up.

Applicant: Gary M. Schmidt
To permit construction of a multi -tenant industrial building on two
M-1 zoned lots with reciprocal access and parking easements between
Lots 1 and 2.
Acting Chairman Evans introduced the proposals and stated that both
applications were covered by Negative Declaration No. 79-35.
Howard Zelefsky pointed out that on building No. 4, on Parcel No. 2,
eight (8) ft. wide compact parking spaces are not permitted on an
industrial site and that the applicant's plan would have to reflect
twelve (12) ft. wide parking spaces. Additionally, that the paral-
lel parking spaces shown as No. 27 and 28 would require, per Code,
an eight (8) ft. separation between them necessitating the removal
of the trash enclosure to another location.
