CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 88-84 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS:
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL:
1. That the granting of a conditional exception will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical
zone classification. The adjacent properties to the east will receive the additional
twenty (20) feet providing the same development oppourtunities as the subject
property. The master plan for the block will result in integrated office center
without the appearance of property lines; other propeties may be permitted to use a
zero side yard setback.
2.
That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including
size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict appication of the zoning
ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other
properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. The subject
property is adjacent to a "paper" alley on the south which the City plans to vacate
and turn over to the subject property. Additionally, the master plan for the block
will result in a "one integrated office center" appearance; therefore, the zero foot
sideyard will not be appearant.
3.
That the granting of a conditional exception is necessary to preserve the enjoyment
of one or more substantial property rights. The zero foot sideyard setback and
temporary use of the alley for parking is necessary to fully develope the property in
conformance with the master plan.
4.
That the granting of conditional exception will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to propertyin the same zone clasifications.
5.
That the granting of a conditional exception will not'adversely affect the general
plan of the City of Huntington Beach.
6.
Although temporarily within a public easement, the required parking is being
provided.
7.
The location, site layout, and design of the proposed use properly adapts the
proposed structures to streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in
a harmonious manner.
8.
The combination and relationship of one proposed use to another on a site are
properly integrated.
9.
The access to and parking for the proposed use does not create an undue traffic
problem.
