CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO 87-41/USE PERMIT NO. 87-51
Applicant: John E. Schwartz
The conditional exception request is to permit a 15-foot front yard
setback in lieu of 50 feet and to permit approximately 300 square
feet of building encroachment into the site angle setback. The use
permit is a request to permit the addition of two (2) bays to an
existing coin -operated car wash. The subject property is located at
5841 Warner Avenue (North side of Warner Avenue approximately 400
feet West of Springdale Avenue)
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 5,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
Staff member, Laura Phillips, reported that the Board of Zoning
Adjustments had previously approved the car wash for two wash bays.
The current request was for two additional wash bay. The addition
would block circulation from the front and rear of the site. Staff
recommended denial with findings due to circulation problems and
there being no land related hardship.
The public hearing was opened and John Schwartz, the applicant, was
present. He spoke in support of the request stating that
circulation was already a problem because many times there is a line
of vehicles waiting for the two existing wash bays. The additional
bays would eliminate stacking. He indicated that his request was to
develop his property similar to others in the area. He presented
pictures of other buildings on Warner and Springdale which were
built within 50 feet of the property line.
Mr. Krejci advised the applicant that in the 1 1/2 years of serving
on the Board, he did not recall any encroachments for buildings
shown in the pictures. Ms. Phillips indicated that the setbacks
vary along Warner.
Mr. Evans Kitsigiamis, owner of the shopping center, spoke in
opposition to the request. Visibility to the shopping center would
be blocked by the additional bays.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
request so the Public Hearing was closed.
Mr. Krejci reported that there are City Ordinance and State Laws
require that findings relating to land related hardships are request
to be made to grant a variance request and that the findings for the
conditional exception do not exist.

of the lot satisfies the minimum size of 10,000 square feet and

special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon properties
in the vicinity.

manner consistent with applicable zoning laws.
4. Exceptional circumstances do not apply that deprive the subject
property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the same
zone classifications.
-2- 7/1/87 - OZA

CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 87-42 (Cont. from 6/24/87)
Applicant: Seaspray Homeowners Association
A request to permit a 12-foot high block wall in lieu of maximum
permitted 8-foot high wall. Subject property is located at 21372
Brookhurst Street (East side of Brookhurst Street approximately 500
feet North of Hamilton Avenue).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 5,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
Staff member, Laura Phillips, reported that the request for the
block wall was between Seaspray and commercial property. Staff had
visited the site and recommended denial because there was no land
related hardship.
The public hearing was opened and Dennis Sunbird, representing
Seaspray, was present. He spoke in support of the request stating
that an 8-foot wall on Seaspray property would only be 5-foot on the
Arco side. He was concerned that a 5-foot wall could be easily
jumped. He said, eventually they might want to put a roof over this
area to store maintenance equipment.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
request so the Public Hearing was closed.
Mr. Krejci reported that City Code allows for a 6-foot high fence
but there are special provisions on properties which abut commercial
to be 8-foot high. He went on to say that an 8-foot high fence
should solve the problem of vandals.
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 87-42 WAS DENIED BY THE ACTING ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR, WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS:
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL:
1. Because of the size, configuration, shape and lack of unique
topographic features of the subject property, there does not
appear to be exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the land, buildings or premises
involved that does not apply generally to property or class of
uses in the same district. There is no exceptional grade
differential or unusual circumstance requiring a 12' wall.
-3- 7/1/87 - OZA
2. Since the subject property can be fully developed within
regular established setbacks, such a Conditional Exception is
not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial
property rights. An 8' wall in compliance with code will serve
the purpose for which the wall is intended.
3. The proposed structure will not be compatible with adjacent
properties.

with an existing nonconforming side yard. The subject property is

Acting Zoning Administration, Mike Strange, advised the applicant
that staff is preparing a code amendment that would allow the 5 foot
side yard setback. There is no guarantee that it will be approved

related hardship to grant a variance and there is no land related
hardship.

apartments, spoke in opposition to the request. He said the
problems mentioned by the home owners in the back of the dealership
would be worse for the tenants in the adjacent apartments. He felt

property is directly behind the vacant lot. She said her block wall
