C-5 TENTATIVE TRACT 12534/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 85-37/
COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 85-26 - PRODUCT AREA B2
Applicant: Seacliff Estates
Conditional Use Permit No. 85-37 in conjunction with Tentative Tract
No. 12537 is a request to revise the previously approved tentative
tract (10069) and conditional use permit for a portion of Seacliff
Phase IV project. The revised site plan is a request to permit a 45
unit planned residential development, with a townhouse type design.
The project area is'presently planned and approved for 11 single
family dwellings. The existing plan limited the number of units
because of an isolated oil well on site.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
In January 1979, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tracts
10067, 10068 and 10069 in conjunction with Conditional Use Permit
No. 77-23 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 78-33. These applications
established the Seacliff Phase IV Project, a 550 unit planned
residential development. The entire project was assessed under
Environmental Impact Report No. 77-6. The Planning Commission
approved Environmental Impact Report 77-6 at the time the previously
mentioned applications were acted upon.
PC Minutes - 9/4/85 -7- (3238d)
A subsequent traffic study and sewer analysis were submitted to the
staff for review in order to determine the impacts from the increase
in density associated with revisions to Tentative Tract 10067 in
November 1984. Staff's analysis indicates that further
environmental analysis is not warranted at this time.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
Dave Eadie, representing Seacliff Estates, spoke in support of the
project and concurred with Staff's recommendations and conditions of
approval resulting from their meetings and the recent August
Subdivision meeting, in which members of the Commission and Staff
were present.
There were no other persons to speak for or against the proposal and
the public hearing was closed.
It was verified by Staff that concerns regarding the jogging and
bike paths going through the entire development had been
sufficiently addressed. This matter had been followed up and was
reflected in the conditions.

C-9 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 85-8/TENTATIVE TRACT 11140
Applicant: Don Hartfelder
The Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract No. 11140 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 80-20 on the subject property on October
7, 1980. Tentative Tract No. 11140 was a request to subdivide the
subject property into a one lot subdivision. Conditional Use Permit
No. 80-20 was a request to permit the construction of eight
residential condominium units. The proposed layout indicated eight
units contained in two buildings located towards the front of the
site with semi -subterranean garages underneath each unit. The
required open space was located at the rear of the site. The
project was never built and both approvals received extensions of
time first to April 1983 and then to April 1984. The applicant
redesigned the site plan for the eight units and submitted it under
a new conditional use permit application No. 83-14.
On August 2, 1983, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use
Permit No. 83-14, a request to permit the construction of an 8 unit
condominium complex. The two year time limit on the approval of
this project has since expired because actual construction has not
commenced.
The staff has recently learned through a detailed analysis of the
site plan that the actual lot size, after full street dedication, is
20 feet shorter in length than had been previously described. Thus,
the allowed density is reduced to 7 units from the original
approval. The applicant is now seeking a density bonus for one -unit
to allow for the construction of an 8 unit development.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
Negative Declaration No. 80-41 was approved by the Planning
Commission on October 7, 1980 for an eight -unit condominium
development on the subject property. Staff has determined that no
additional environmental assessment is necessary.
1
PC Minutes - 9/4/85 -20- (3238d)
Staff pointed out an added condition of approval to Tentative Tract
11140 which reads: Tentative Tract Map No. 11140 dated February 7,
1985 shall be the approved layout.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
Don Hartfelder, Architect for the project, spoke in support of the
project and concurred with Staff's recommendations. He stated that
the project is a unique solution to the narrow lot condition that
exists in the area.
There were no other persons to speak for or against the proposal and
the public hearing was closed.
Questions and answers between Staff and the Commissioners ensued
regarding the calculation of units/density, allowing a density bonus
for street right-of-way area dedications, and government codes
concerning affordable housing set asides.
At this point Commissioner Mirjahangir asked permission to address
the Commission from the podium. He stated that because of his
involvement with the project, being owner of said property, he would
have to abstain from voting on any action concerning this proposal.
He was permitted to do so. He then spoke in support of the project
and concurred with Staff's recommendations.
Density bonuses and what governs them was the topic of the
discussion that followed. Mr. Mirjahangir said they would be
willing to add a condition to their proposal that 25% of the units
would be set aside for low to moderate income families as determined
by the County of Orange.
The Planning Commission acknowledged that this project had
previously been approved for 8 units, however street area
dedications were incorrectly calculated and dimensioned at that
time. One more unit probably would not impact this neighborhood;
however, the Commission felt that more time was needed to review the
findings and conditions to determine what recommendations should be
made regarding a density bonus or other incentives to the builder
and what action should be taken on this project. They also had
concerns regarding the special permits being requested for a guest
parking space and lanscaping in front of the building because of a
42 inch decorative wall.
Mr. Mirjahangir, property owner, stated that he did not feel more
time would be beneficial to the proposal.
