Page 2
Subject property is located on the East side of Beach Boulevard
approximately 300 feet,South.•of Taylor Avenue.
This request is covered by -Negative Declaration No., 85-60.
Scott Hess reminded the Board the project -had been continued to this
meeting so the applicant could obtain reciprocal driveway easements
from abutting property.owners and also to•submit-revised elevations
for review. The Design•Review Board has•not met to review these
plans, but Staff is recommending approval of these requests with
conditions.
When asked by Les Evans,if the Fire Department had approved the
entrance to the center, Mr. Hess stated they had not seen the
revised plans. Staff further stated the applicant would pave both
sides of the driveway, and Les Evans asked that the condition read
"to be paved to the satisfaction of Public Works and the Fire
Department. Daryl Smith suggested that the wording of another
condition be changed to read "architecturally compatible"•instead of
"architecturally similar". Tom Poe requested a condition be added
for on -site fire hydrants, and Glen Godfrey asked that a condition
be included pertaining to CalTrans approval of driveways off Beach
Boulevard.
The Public Hearing was opened by Chairman Smith and Maris Vanags was
present. Mr. Vanags inquired about the CalTrans driveways and Les
Evans offered an explanation. Mr. Vanags also stated he was
attempting to purchase the adjacent property. There was no one else
present wishing to speak so the Public Hearing was closed. '

WERE APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS, BY THE
FOLLOWING VOTE: '
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL:
1. 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.
2. Granting of the conditional exception and the use permit will
not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington

3. The proposal is consistent with the City's General Plan of Land
Use.
4. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings, 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. The portion of the abutting easterly
residential parcel is improved as a driveway which negates the
need for a ten foot (10') setback and reduces the impact of the
development.
5. The granting of a conditional exception is necessary in order
to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property
rights. The abutting northerly parcel was granted a
conditional exception for a zero foot (01) setback along the
East property line, similar to this request. If the
development must maintain a ten foot (101) setback along
sixty-five feet (651) of the East property line, an awkardly
shaped building would result.
6. The granting'of Conditional Exception No. 85-67 will not be
materially detrimental to the public welfare, or injurious to
property in the same zone classifications.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. The site plan and floor plans received and dated October 29,
1985, shall be the approved layout.
2. Elevations of the development shall be compatible with the
existing northerly commercial development in terms of
materials, colors and architecture; and shall be subject to
review and approval by the Design Review Board prior to the
issuance of building permits.
3. Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall
submit the following plans:
a., Landscape and irrigation plan to the Department of
Development Services and Public Works for review and
approval.
b. Rooftop Mechanical Equipment Plan. Said plan shall
indicate screening of all rooftop mechanical equipment and
shall delineate the type of material proposed to screen
said equipment.

LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT NO. 85-4 (Cont. from 10/23/85)
Applicant: Wayne and Irene Kirby
A request to adjust the lot line between Lot Nos. 9 and 10 in order
to create a conforming side yard for the existing front dwelling of
Lot No. 9. Subject property is located on the Southwest corner of
Memphis Avenue and Delaware.Street.
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 5,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1984.
Staff explained to the Board members that he had discussed his
proposed changes with Mrs. Irene Kirby. Mrs. Kirby had agreed to
follow the suggestions; therefore, the Lot Line Adjustment would no
longer be required.
Mrs. Kirby was present at the meeting. She did concur with Staff's
report and asked that the application be withdrawn.
UPON MOTION BY GODFREY AND SECOND BY EVANS, AND AT THE REQUEST OF
THE APPLICANT, LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT NO. 85-4 WAS WITHDRAWN, BY THE
FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Cranmer, Evans, Godfrey, Smith, Vincent
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 85-71
Applicant: Timothy N. Bortvit
A request to permit an approximate fifty-three percent (53%) site
coverage which includes a large unenclosed entryway and an atrium.
Subject property is located at 707 Thirteenth Street (West side of
Thirteenth Street approximately fifty feet (501) North of Palm
Avenue).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 5,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1984.

Staff explained the applicant.is proposing a two-story residence on
a vacant lot in a residential zone. The applicant reports he
received positive comments from the City several months ago when
conceptual plans were presented prior to doing working drawings.
Staff would like to change the Agenda request to show -fifty-one and
one-half percent (51-1/2%)� rather than the fifty-three percent (53%)
since the applicant has eliminated -.coverage -of the front entryway.
This changes the interpretation. The project has,already_been in
plan check and the applicant,feels it would be quite,costly now to
make major changes. Staff -is recommending denial of the,project
since the coverage.does still, exceed the maximum -allotted -by -Code.
Upon questioning by Daryl Smith, Staff stated there would be
123 Square Feet of excessive coverage. Staff is also concerned
about the alley setback on the portion,of building -shown as "work
shop". According to Staff,.our.Code requires a ten -foot (101)
setback from the alley property line for any "habitable" building
space, or that -a garage door-be,installed in a building located on
the rear property line. —This particular area does not have the
garage door but does havea bathroom in i_t. The Planning Department
is concerned that 'fnis may become additional living quarters unless
the garage door is provided; furthermore, the applicant could easily
delete 123 Square Feet from a structure this size without any major
changes to the plans.
Mr. Smith then asked if the applicant could set the "work shop" area
back ten feet (101) from the alleyway to alleviate the excessive
square footage; and Staff said that could be done and the applicant
would then not need the Conditional Exception,
The Public Hearing was opened and Timothy N. Bortvit was present.
He reiterated the statement he had followed the requirements on the
original plans he submitted before he proceeded with the working
drawings. After he completed the drawings, it was noted that the
plans were measured differently with the cantilevered area now being
considered as lot coverage.
Dennis J. Cherry, Costa Mesa, said.he had drawn the plans for this
project and the City Code states that the ground floor area
constitutes coverage, and this particular First Floor and garage
area would cover less than fifty percent,(50%).
This statement was followed by a general discussion concerning
interpretations of the Code with reference to this project. Glen
Godfrey said there was at one time some relief under that Code
section and the Plan Checker was checking it under that policy. It
was not the Department policy and the'Ordinance will be changed.
The Development Services Director has taken the position that an
overhang (cantilever area) could be considered ground coverage.

Linda Burnett, 716 Thirteenth Street, stated she was concerned about
the conditional exception and its effect on the neighborhood. She
wanted to maintain the upgrading of the area which has been started.
Mr. Bortvit stated he would install the garage door on the "work
shop" area. There was no one else to speak so the Public Hearing
was closed.
Les Evans said he would move for approval with the Findings that the
Code section applicable to site coverage was not precise, that the
property owner proceeded in "good faith" to provide a plan which met
the Code, and that the one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) difference
in site coverage is negligible. Jim Vincent said he would second
the motion.
Daryl Smith suggested having a "Letter of Agreement" signed by the
applicant to assure that the residence would remain a single family
unit rather than having to install a garage door on a "work shop";
but Glen Godrey said the work shop was considered a habitable unit
and could not be placed on the rear property line without violating
the intent of the Code. Mr. Bortvit again stated he would install
the garage door.
UPON MOTION BY EVANS AND SECOND BY VINCENT, CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION
NO. 85-71 WAS APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS,

3. Due to a difference in interpretation of Code Section S.9102.41
the property owner had proceeded in "good faith" to prepare
working drawings which would meet the intent of the -Code.
4. Site coverage of fifty-one and one-half percent (51-1/2%) will

Glen Godfrey came back to the meeting at this,point - 2:28 P.M.
Staff reported this request is primarily to integrate a car wash
into.a commercial center. Staff has reviewed the project and has
some concerns with the driveway approach. Staff is recommending a
reduction from fifty-five feet (551) to a maximum width of thirty
feet (301) to'guide traffic through the center and the car wash.
There are currently nine (9) compact parking stalls in this area but
Staff is recommending eight (8) standard stalls.
Les Evans left the meeting at 2:33 P.M.
Staff said that, in,addition'to the three foot, (31) wide landscape
planter on public property, the applicant should provide'a two'foot
(21) wide strip on his own property. There was a discussion about
the parking for the original center being approved under the old
Code and this present project being considered under the revised
Code sections. Also, the fact that the restaurant's peak load
operation would begin at approximately the same time the offices
would be closing,so reciprocal,parking could -be effected.
Les Evans returned to -the meeting - at this time - 2:38 P.M.
The Public Hearing,was opened and Richard (Dick) Harlow was present
to represent the'applicant....The"discussion continued relative to
the number of parking spaces required, and'Mr. Harlow stated the
applicant could not live with only fifty percent (50%) of the
project for retail use and fifty percent (50%) for offices - that he
would want only twenty percent (20%) in offices and the balance for
retail use. Mr. Harlow also said they would like to call a portion
of the building "storage" area_and,that Century 21,would be
occupying another area.. Staff said he was considering the area
(designated by Mr. Harlow*as "storage") as retail space, and Staff
further added that, when Certificates of Occupancy are issued, the
City would then have a form of control over the parking numbers.
Glen Godfrey asked if, at the previous approval of the.center, the
restaurant's hours of operation _had been.limited, and Scott Hess
said "No". Bijan Sassaounian was.present also'and said most of the
restaurant's business was after 5:00 P.M. Mr. Godfrey asked about
the signage for.the,center and Mr. Sassaounian stated it would be
similar in design to the "Clothes Time Center" at Beach Boulevard
and Main Street.
There was no one else present to speak for or against the project so
the Public Hearing was -closed.
