BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Evans, Lipps, Poe STAFF PRESENT: Zelefsky REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS: CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 83-46 (Continued from 9/07/83) Applicant: Voeltz-Montero Associates To permit encroachment into required five (5) ft. setback from public easement. Subject property is located at 9172 Carroltown (near inter- section of Magnolia). Acting Chairman Evans introduced the applicant's proposal and stated that this request is Categorically Exempt, Class. 5, California Environ- mental Quality Act, 1970. Acting Secretary Lipps stated that the applicant is requesting to en- croach three (3) ft. into the required side yard setback. The subject dwelling is located twenty-two (22) ft. six (6) inches from the property line of which fifteen (15) ft. in width was added to the applicant's side yard allowing consideration for the storm drain easement so as not to create a hardship to the property. He informed the Board Members that staff is recommending denial of this application based on the fact that it is felt there is no hardship connected with this property. The public hearing was opened by Acting Chairman Evans. Mr. James Montero, representing the property owners - Mr. & Mrs. Kenneth Leever, introduced himself to the Board. He stated that the proposed kitchen addition encroachment of three (3) ft. was felt to be a minimal request with no foundation load on the storm drain easement. He stated that the property owners purchased the property as it was larger in width (fifteen ft. wider than most in the area). Mr. Montero stated that there was no other feasible area on the property for an expansion. Minutes: H.B. Board of Zoning Adjustments September 14, 1983 Page Two The public hearing was closed by Acting Chairman Evans. The applicant was informed of the Board's main concern which was structur- al should excavation be necessary so close to the applicant's dwelling creating additional expense and burden to the City. It was the concen- sus of all of the Board Members that a justifiable hardship does not exist and that the zoning requirement for a side yard setback should be met. ON MOTION BY EVANS AND SECOND BY LIPPS, CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 83-36 WAS DENIED WITH REASONS FOR DENIAL FOLLOWING, SUCCEEDED BY VOTE: CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 83-46 REASONS FOR DENIAL: 1. Exceptional circumstances do not apply that deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity. The subject parcel was allotted an additional fifteen (15) ft. of width for easement purposes. There are no special topographic features or any unique characteristics related to the land. 2. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 83-46 would constitute a special privilege inconsistent with.limitations on properties in the vicinity. The property was legally subdivided and develop- ed in a manner consistent with applicable zoning laws. AYES: Evans, Lipps, Poe NOES: None ABSTAIN: None The appeal process was explained to Mr. Montero. REHEARING OF ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 83-34 (Continued from 9/07/83) (In conjunction with Conditional Exception No. 83-48) Applicants: Jack & Amy Hsieh Original request - To permit a two-story, thirty-six (36) unit motel building.

At that time, the applicant presented a new plan for consideration whereby he increased the number of units to forty. 1 -2- BZA 9/14/83 Minutes: H.B. Board of Zoning Adjustments September 14, 1983 Page Three Administrative Review No. 83-34 was continued one (1) week to allow the applicant time to work with staff on the parking and circulation problems for the forty (40) units.

Board of Zoning Adjustments September 14, 1983 Page Five ON MOTION BY LIPPS AND SECOND BY EVANS, USE PERMIT NO. 83-48 WAS GRANTED WITH FINDINGS, CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND VOTE FOLLOWING: USE PERMIT NO. 83-48 FINDINGS: 1. The proposed construction of twenty-four (24) garage units at zero property line along rear property line will not be detri- mental to the general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity nor injurious to property and improvements in the vicinity of such use or building. 2.

AYES: Evans, Lipps, Poe NOES: None ABSTAIN: None CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 83-45 (In conjunction with Administrative Review No. 83-56) Applicant: Donald M. Porker, Assistant V.P., Crocker National Bank Subject property is located at 303 Main Street. C.E. Request - To permit encroachment of cars. into six (6) ft. land- scaped strip. A.R. Request To permit the establishment of a bank/office in an existing building. Acting Chairman Evans introduced the proposals stating that the con- ditional exception is a Class. 5 and the administrative review is a Class. 1, both Categorically Exempt, under the California Environmental Quality Act, 1970. -5- BZA 9/14/83 Minutes: H.B. Board of Zoning Adjustments September 14, 1983 Page Six Staff informed the Board Members that the Crocker Bank property is located in an approved redevelopment area (5th/Main'Street) with parking located at the rear of the building entering at 302 - 5th Street. The Downtown Specific Plan which is the implementing zoning for the Redevel- opment Plan specifically prohibits parking lot facilities to be located on Main Street. However, as an interim use of the property, and in an effort of mutual cooperation between the City of Huntington Beach and Crocker Bank, it is in the best interest of both parties to work towards an agreement on this issue. Mr. Zelefsky explained that the Crocker Bank building has been vacant for more than'six (6) months and according to the Ordinance Code, is considered abated, requiring the need for the conditional exception variance in order to satisfy the parking requirement. The applicant's requesting to use the adjacent piece of property (under the same owner- ship) for a loan processing center. As the Downtown Specific Plan prohibits parking lots on Main Street, the applicant has been working with the Redevelopment section and has come to a mutual agreement on the future of the site necessitating the filing of a variance for landscaping. Ten (10) ft. is required and because of the narrowness of the lot, the applicant can only provide six (6) ft. The Redevelop- ment Director has requested that the Board of Zoning Adjustments work with Crocker Bank on the interim use of the property. As City Council will be implementing zoning on the Downtown Specific Plan Area, with factors unknown, it is felt that should approval be granted it should be on an annual basis. The public hearing was opened by Acting Chairman Evans. Mr. Donald M. Forker, representing Crocker Bank, addressed the Board. He stated that the length of time for use is expected to be three (3) years. They are requesting approval to improve and use the 49.98 ft. x 117.50 ft. property for parking purposes with irregular encroachment of a portion of parking cars into the required six (6) ft. wide land- scaped strip along Main Street and all of Adams Ave. The dimension of the property precludes utilization of the land for parking use within the City's parking standards unless relief is obtained from the strict compliance with the City's landscaping requirement. Con- sidered to be a trade-off, Mr. Forker stated that as the property fronts on two (2) streets that landscaping will be provided at 14.64 percent of the lot area which exceeds the present 6 percent of require- ment of the Ordinance Code for landscaping. He stated that the property now has a small shop on it which is seismically unsafe; that general parking conditions in appearance will be improved. Further, that if the variance is not granted allowing for the requirement of twenty (20) parking spaces for the loan processing center, the building is unusable Discussion carried on the fact that the building overhangs the public right-of-way, it is a nonconforming building with no exterior modifi- cations proposed, etc. -6- BZA 9/14/83 Minutes: H.B. Board of Zoning Adjustments September 14, 1983 Page Seven The public hearing was closed by Acting Chairman Evans. It was the feeling of all of the Board Members, with the applicant's concurrence, that Conditional Exception No. 83-45 should be tabled allowing the applicant time to secure a Use Permit Application for a temporary parking lot wherein the Code requirement of three (3) ft. of landscaping would be met in addition to reviewing the application on a yearly basis, satisfying the Code requirements, Redevelopment and the applicant. On motion by Evans and second by Lipps, Conditional Exception No. 83-45 was tabled by the following vote: AYES: Lipps, Evans, Poe NOES: None ABSTAIN: None ON MOTION BY LIPPS AND SECOND BY EVANS, ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 83-56 WAS GRANTED WITH CONDITIONS IMPOSED, FOLLOWING, SUCCEEDED BY VOTE: ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 83-56 CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS: 1.
