Conditional Use Permit No. 86-42 is a request to permit 76 condominium units with special permits for reduction in common open space, front yard setback encroachment and increased building bulk. The request also includes a 17 percent density bonus, which will allow for an additional 11 units to be constructed over and above the 65 units which are permitted by the R3 zoning. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: Pursuant to the environmental regulations in effect at this time, the Department of Development Services posted draft Negative Declaration No. 86-48 for ten days, and no comments, either verbal or written were received. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve Negative Declaration No. 86-48, Conditional Use Permit No. 86-42, as modified by staff, and Tentative Tract No. 12822 based on findings and conditions of approval. Approve Special Permit for reduction in common open space and deviance to building bulk requirements based on findings. Deny Special permit for front yard setback encroachment based on the findings. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Jerry Simon, Architect, spoke in support of the project. Richard Harlow, representing the applicant, spoke in support of the project. He explained that a density bonus of 11 units was being requested and that the project would have affordable units. He further explained that the special permit request for common open space was being requested as a result of the deceleration lane and that the open space in the project would be private rather than shared. He expressed concern with condition #7 and requested that it be deleted or that the applicant be put on notice that one water meter per dwelling unit would be required. There were no other persons present to speak for or against the project and the public hearing was closed. PC Minutes 4/21/87 -2- (7966d) 1 A discussion ensued on whether the density bonus should be granted on this project. The site contains so many potential traffic problems and hazards that it was felt that the density should not be increased. However, it was also felt by some of the Commissioners that since this was such an unusual piece of property and the developer was providing a deceleration lane, subterranean parking, etc. that a density bonus would be appropriate.

There were no other persons present to speak for or against the project and the public hearing was closed. Commissioners Silva and Pierce reported that they had visited the site and that 60 percent of the lots in the neighborhood had 10 foot setbacks.

The granting of the conditional exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent upon properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classifications as there are other homes in the area that have a structure at a 10 foot front yard setback. 1. The site plan received and dated March 24, 1987, shall be the approved layout. 2. The applicant shall obtain all necessary building permits and inspections for the wall. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO, 87-8: 1. The block wall conforms with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of the Coastal Element of the General Plan. 2.

The Planning Commission previously approved a reduction in the required rear yard setback from 25 feet to 12 feet for this home (Conditional Exception No. 86-92). PC Minutes 4/21/87 -6- (7966d) ENVIRONMENTAL STA The proposed project is exempt Class 5 Section 15305 from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act. SPECIFIC PLAN: The property is within the boundaries of the proposed Ellis-Goldenwest Specific Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 87-16 for increased building height based on the findings and conditions of approval outlined in this report. Deny Conditional Exception No. 87-25 for encroachment into the 100 foot wide open space corridor based on findings outlined in this report. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Gerald Chapman, applicant, spoke in support of the request. He stated that he feels his lot is a burdened piece of property and urged the Commission to grant his request. Gordan Watson, 5021 Dovewood Drive, spoke in opposition to the request for a height variance and encroachment. He feels that the variance would obscure views from his home. There were no other persons present to speak for or against the request and the public hearing was closed. The Commissioners felt that the garage should be moved or the house completely shifted. Since an exception had already been previously granted they objected to the patio encroachment, however felt that the fireplace encroachment would only be about one foot and not a real problem. A MOTION WAS MADE BY LIVENGOOD, SECOND BY PIERCE, TO APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 87-16 WITH FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: MOTION PASSED Silva, Schumacher, Higgins Summere l l None Pierce, Leipzig, Livengood PC Minutes 4/21/87 -7- (7966d) A MOTION WAS MADE BY LIVENGOOD, SECOND BY PIERCE, TO APPROVE CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 87-25 WITH EXCEPTION TO ALLOW FIREPLACE ONLY - NO PATIO, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Silva, Pierce, Livengood NOES: Schumacher, Leipzig, Higgins ABSENT: Summerell ABSTAIN: None MOTION FAILED A MOTION WAS MADE BY SCHUMACHER, SECOND BY LEIPZIG, TO DENY CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 87-25, WITH FINDINGS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Schumacher, Higgins, Leipzig NOES: Livengood, Silva, Pierce ABSENT: Summerell ABSTAIN: None MOTION FAILED A MOTION WAS MADE BY HIGGINS, SECOND BY PIERCE, TO RECONSIDER THE PREVIOUS MOTION TO APPROVE CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 87-25 TO EXCLUDE PATIO AND ALLOW THE FIREPLACE TO PROJECT 12 INCHES, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Silva, Higgins, Pierce, Leipzig, Livengood NOES: Schumacher ABSENT: Summerell ABSTAIN: None W6101401 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT N0, 87-16: 1. The proposed single family residence having a height of 28 feet to the midpoint of the pitched roof will not have a detrimental effect on the general health, safety, welfare or privacy of surrounding residents or on surrounding property values because the home is set back 54 feet from the southern property line, 24 feet from the eastern property line, 100 feet from the nearest structure to the west and 108 feet from the nearest structure to the north. 2. The location, site plan and building design are harmonious and compatible with the streets, driveways, property lines and surrounding neighborhood of Country View Estates. PC Minutes 4/21/87 -8- (7966d) FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF FIREPLACE - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 87-25: 1. Because of the unique configuration of the lot which is flag shaped there appears to be exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the land, buildings or premises involved that does not apply generally to other properties located within Country View Estates. 2. The granting of the conditional exception for encroachment of the fireplace into the open space corridor will not significantly alter the open and rural character of the Ellis-Goldenwest area because the encroachment is no more than 12 inches. FINDINGS FOR DENIAL FOR PATIO SLAB - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 87-25: 1. Because the subject property can be fully developed as a large and spacious single family home encompassing approximately 6,800 square feet with patio areas on the eastern and southern sides of the home without encroachment into the 100 foot open space corridor, such a conditional exception is not necessary for the preservation of substantial property rights. 2. The granting of the conditional exception for encroachment into the open space corridor for the patio slab of 4.5 feet would set a precedent for allowing man-made structures in the open space corridor which may significantly alter the open and rural character of the Ellis-Goldenwest area. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. The site plan, floor plans and elevations received and dated May 1, 1987, shall be revised and submitted, depicting the modification described herein: a. The patio slab shall not be located within the 100 foot wide open space corridor.

The variance request (Conditional Exception No. 87-23) is for 149 parking spaces in lieu of 209 (Section 9606) and to maintain an existing three (3) foot wide planter along Beach Boulevard and Newman Avenue in lieu of six (6) feet (Section 9608). PC Minutes 4/21/87 -9- (7966d) ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: The proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301(e), Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act.
