The Public Hearing had been left open at the previous meeting and
Ed Bonanni was present to represent the applicant. Mr. Bonanni said
he was aware Staff was asking that the entrance be changed but
stated it would be very difficult to make the entrance on the alley
because it was only eighteen feet (181) wide. He further stated he
could place the attendant in an interior location on the lot to
avoid stacking problems and he had allowed the twenty-seven foot
(271) space for maneuvering cars.
George Arnold got up to speak in objection to operation of this lot
but, through questioning by Board members, it was determined he had
reference to another parking lot. There was no one else present
wishing to speak for or against this project so the Public Hearing
was closed.
Daryl Smith asked if a condition could be changed to read that the
site plan submitted May 9, 1986, be revised showing access to the
satisfaction of the Public Works Department. He also stressed a
concern over cars turning left.

USE PERMIT NO. 86-36 (Cont. from 5/28/86)
NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 86-27
Applicant: Siavash Afshar
A request to permit the construction of an eight (8) unit apartment
project. Subject property is located at 2402-06 Delaware Street
(East side of Delaware Street approximately one hundred twenty-five
feet (1251) South of Yorktown Avenue).
This request is covered by Negative Declaration No. 86-27.
According to Staff, the request for an eight (8) unit apartment
project has been evaluated by Staff and the Board based on plans
received in late April. The Architect has delivered new plans and
there is a direct connection between Delaware Street and England
Street. Public Works is concerned this may be used as a short cut
and is asking for a gate at the entrance to keep traffic out. The
gate should be a "crash type" to allow access by the Fire Department
for emergencies. Based on review of the new plans, Staff is
recommending approval.
Les Evans stressed the fact the rolling gate would not be an
automatically -operated gate but just an emergency access gate.
Daryl Smith asked for an additional condition that the type and
style of gate be referred to the Fire Department and Development

garages and some open parking spaces to accommodate visitor parking

ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 86-31 (Cont. from 5/28/86)
Applicant::Dennis Trausch
A request to permit the addition of a four hundred forty-eight (448)
Square Foot solarium entrance to an existing retail building.
Subject property is located at 16242 Beach Boulevard (East side of
Beach Boulevard approximately three hundred feet (3001) South of
Stark Avenue).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 1,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1984.
According to Staff, this is a request for a solarium entrance to an
existing retail business located in a building with warehousing
space. In 1984, the applicant came before the Board for approval of
distribution use in the building. The plans indicate a sewage dump
for RV's in the rear of the property which will need to be removed,
as well as vending machines. The applicant has an excess of parking
spaces based on the warehousing use in conjunction with retail.
There are problems with the signs and a roof sign will need to be
removed prior to issuance of building permits. Staff would
recommend approval with conditions.
-10- 6/4/86 - BZA
Minutes, H. B. Board of Zoning Adjustments
June 4, 1986
Page 11
There was a lengthy discussion regarding a removal date for the roof
sign, the sewage dumps, vending machines, etc., and Tom Poe
suggested the applicant might have some input regarding timing on
these items and installation of new signs.
The applicant, Dennis Trausch, was present and his only concern was
the signage issue. He stated that he was not aware the roof sign
was illegal and he would like some additional time to meet the sign
requirements. Mr. Trausch also expressed concern about the signage
because of the proximity of a new shopping center being constructed
adjacent to his property. The shopping center is located in the
City of Westminster and would come under different Code
requirements. Glen Godfrey explained his only recourse would be to
make a presentation to the Planning Commission but Daryl Smith and
Les Evans did not feel that should be necessary.

Applicant: Stanley J. Sorensen
A request to permit a reduction of rear yard setback from ten feet

Minutes, H. B. Board of Zoning Adjustments
June 4, 1986
Page 13
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 5,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1984.
The proposed request, according to Staff, is for a variance on
property located in Rl Residential District. Staff has evaluated
the project and can support the fourteen foot (141) open space
dimension but not the eight and one-half foot (8-1/21) setback
request. Staff cannot find a land -related hardship to support the
setback variance.
Daryl Smith asked if the court yard in the front area could be
enclosed at a later date if this present request was approved, and
Staff explained that would require another conditional exception.
Upon questioning by Mr. Smith, Staff explained adjacent property
owners had been notified and Staff had received no responses.
The Public Hearing was opened by Chairman Tom Poe and the applicant,
Stanley J. Sorensen, was present, along with his wife. Mr. Sorensen
reiterated his request and stated the variance would allow them to
enlarge their family room for a more usable area. Mr. Sorensen
further explained their house was located on the rear one-third of
the lot and there was only twenty-one feet (211) from the house to
the rear property line. He also explained the addition would be one
story so they would not be looking into their neighbors' properties.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
project so the Public Hearing was closed.
Daryl Smith stated the applicant's request seemed reasonable and the
home had been built differently than others in the area. Dennis
Krejci, however, felt the Board would be establishing a precedent in
this area by allowing the variance.
SMITH MOVED, SECONDED BY POE, FOR APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION
NO. 86-31 BY ALLOWING BOTH REQUESTS. MOTION FAILED BY THE FOLLOWING

subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in
the vicinity and under identical zone classifications.

Staff further stated the sign should be limited to a small sign
which just says "RENTAL OFFICE".

represent the applicant. Ms. Berutich said it was a very simple
request and she had no further questions of the Board. There was no
one else present wishing to speak for or against the project so the

USE PERMIT NO. 86-40
Applicant: Huntington Beach Company
A request to permit a five hundred seventy three and one-half
(573.5) Square Foot rest stop building and a "hitting wall" for
Seacliff Tennis Club. The subject property is located at 6501 Palm
Avenue - (Huntington Seacliff Country Club).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 1,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1984.
Staff stated the zoning at this site is ROS-O-CZ with oil production
nearby. The "hitting wall" will be within the confines of the
tennis court with a tennis screen eighteen feet (181) high which
will block it from public view. The "rest stop" building will be
for people waiting to get on the tennis courts. The Fire Department
has a concern regarding access, and emergency access should be
provided somewhere along the fenced area along Palm Avenue.
The Public Hearing was opened and Kathie Holmes was present to
represent the applicant. Ms. Holmes explained the "rest stop"
building would not be used for sales but would be used as their
"pro's" teaching office with vending machines located in the
building.
George Arnold expressed objections to allowing such a permit because
only four people could play tennis at one time. There was no one
else present wishing to speak for or against the project so the
Public Hearing was closed.
Daryl Smith said he would move for approval and Les Evans stated he
would second.
