Donald Alvarado, representing Smart and Final, addressed
issues of the proposed code amendment regarding alcoholic
beverage sales. He stated that the zone his store is located
in (Industrial District) allows wholesale sales only and that
they will be proposing to sell alcoholic beverages at
wholesale prices. However, the ABC requires that the sales be
retail to grant a license. He requested that the code be
amended to include such sales in this zone.
C. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
C-1 ZONE CHANGE NO 87-16/NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 87-49_
APPLICANT: HUNTINGTON BEACH COMPANY
Zone Change No. 87-16 is a request by the Huntington Beach Company
to rezone 55.5 gross acres which are presently designated with three
different zoning classifications. The request is to change the
zoning as follows:
(1) Approximately 43 acres from RA-01 (Residential Agricultural
combined with Oil Production) to R1-(2)-01-10,000 (Low Density
Residential-2 units per acre -with a minimum 10,000 square foot
lot size -Combined with Oil Production);
(2) Approximately .5 acres from RA-0-CZ (Residential Agricultural
combined with Oil Production in the Coastal Zone) to
R1-(2)-0-10,000-CZ (Low Density Residential-2 units per
acre -with a minimum 10,000 square foot lot size -Combined with
Oil Production in the Coastal Zone); and
(3) Approximately 12 acres from RA-01-CZ (Residential Agricultural
combined with Oil Production and Drilling in the Coastal Zone)
to R1-(2)-01-10,000-CZ (Low Density Residential-2 units per
acre -with a minimum 10,000 square foot lot size -Combined with
Oil Production and Drilling in the Coastal Zone).
The zone change request is consistent with the General Plan land use
designation of Estate Residential- 2 Units per Acre.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
Pursuant to the environmental regulations in effect at this time the
Department of Community Development posted draft Negative
Declaration No. 87-47 for ten days, and no comments, either verbal
or written were received.
An Environmental Initial Study was completed to analyze potential
adverse environmental impacts associated with the proposed zone
change and it was determined that a mitigated negative declaration
(Negative Declaration No. 87-49) in lieu of an Environmental Impact
Report could be considered by the Planning Commission.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
(A) Determine Negative Declaration No. 87-49 to be inadequate
because it does not sufficiently address potential
environmental impacts and not accept it; and
(B) Deny Zone Change No. 87-16 based on findings.
PC Minutes - 2/17/88 -2- (0184d)
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
Bill Holman, representing the Huntington Beach Company, gave a brief
history of the zone change application. He stated that several
environmental impact reports had been completed on the site and that
a denial of the request would be preferred rather than a continuance.
Mary Bell, representing Equestrian Trails 100, spoke in support of
staff's request for a continuance. She feels that time is needed in
order to complete further studies of the site especially regarding
equestrian activities. She stated that if the Ellis-Goldenwest
Specific Plan is not adopted equestrian activities will not be
allowed.
Tom Harman, representing Huntington Beach Tomorrow, spoke in support
of a denial of the zone change. He feels that it is premature to
develop the site before the boundary lines are determined for the
linear park.
Lorraine Faber, representing Amigos de Bolsa Chica, stated that she
feels an environmental impact report is needed before changing the
zone. She feels that if public ownership is eventually obtained
there will be a lot of questions that need to be answered. She
further stated that this site contains maybe the only linear park
that District 2 will ever have.
Pat Ware, 6171 Hamshire Drive, spoke in support of a denial of the
zone change or a continuance in order to complete an environmental
impact report.
Michael Rubin, representing the Huntington Beach Company, stated
that it was his understanding that a tiered environmental impact
report was being completed on the site and that it was at the land
use and intensity stage. He feels that a "Q" zoning could be
adopted without readvertising the request and approval could be
given with conditions.
Mary Lou Rosczyk, 16172 Ballantine Lane, stated that she felt the
zone change should be denied and that the open space and linear park
should be the first priority.
There were no other persons to speak for or against the zone change
and the public hearing was closed.
A lengthy discussion ensued among the Commission regarding the zone
change. Commissioner felt that the property owner was entitled to a
request for a zone change and that action should be taken. Other
Commissioners felt that an environmental impact report was needed
because the site is a potential, significant archaeological resource
that needs careful evaluation and favored a continuance. They felt
that if the zone change was approved it would set legal boundaries
which would include 75 percent of the County's proposed linear park.
PC Minutes - 2/17/88 -3- (0184d)
The applicant stated that instead of a continuance he would prefer a
denial.
Commissioners Higgins and Bourguignon stated that they would be
abstaining from the vote due to a potential conflict of interest.

CHANGE NO. 87-16 AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 87-49 WITH FINDINGS BY
THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Pierce, Livengood, Silva, Leipzig
NOES: None
ABSENT: Schumacher
ABSTAIN: Higgins, Bourguignon
MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL:
1. Pursuant to Section 21002 of the California Environmental
Quality Act, 1986, an environmental impact report should be
prepared which would provide feasible alternatives or feasible
mitigation measures which would substantially lessen the
significant environmental effects of future projects. Negative
Declaration No. 87-49 has been determined to be inadequate
because significant environmental concerns such as grade
differential, archaeological resources, seismic, oil
operations, circulation, and recreation (linear park) have not
been addressed.
PC Minutes - 2/17/88 -4- (0184d)
2. Archaeological sites (No. 88, 365 and 366) indicate that 50
percent of the site is a potential, significant archaeological
resource that needs careful evaluation in an environmental
impact report.
3. Further environmental evaluation of the site is needed since
past studies (Environmental Impact Report No. 83-2) show up to
50 percent of the property should be excluded from development.
4. The proposed zone change will establish linear park boundaries
which are inconsistent with Resolution No. 5652 which was
approved by the City Council on March 24, 1986.
C-2 ZONE CHANGE NO, 87-17/USE PERMIT NO, 87-84/NEGATIVE DECLARATION
NO, 87-50
APPLICANT: KERNVIEW OIL CORPORATION

used for oil production and agriculture. Use Permit No. 87-84 is a
request to drill one new well on the 100 foot by 150 foot site.
The applicant has requested that Zone Change No. 87-17, Use Permit
No. 87-84 and Negative Declaration No. 87-50 be continued to the

meeting per the applicant's request.
A petition in opposition to the zone change was submitted by a group

A MOTION WAS MADE BY LIVENGOOD, SECOND BY HIGGINS, TO APPROVE
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 88-2 IN CONJUNCTION WITH CONDITIONAL
EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 88-3, WITH FINDINGS AND REVISED CONDITIONS
OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Pierce, Livengood, Silva, Leipzig, Higgins, Bourguignon
NOES: None
ABSENT: Schumacher
ABSTAIN: None
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO, 88-3:
1. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the preschool
and daycare center 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. The granting of the conditional use permit for a preschool and
daycare center will not adversely affect the General Plan of
the City of Huntington Beach.
3. The proposed daycare center and preschool are consistent with
the goals and objectives of the City's General Plan and Land
Use Map because the property was originally developed as a
school site.
PC Minutes - 2/17/88 -8- (0184d)
4. The access to and parking for the proposed use does not create
an undue traffic problem because adequate parking and drop-off
areas are provided on site, and no excessive traffic will be
generated.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 88-a:
1. The use of a chain link fence surrounding the outdoor play area
in lieu of the required masonry wall will not be detrimental to
the general welfare of persons residing or working in the
vicinity. There will be no adverse noise impacts on adjacent
properties due to the daycare/preschool's location within a
former school site, and the fact that the nearest adjacent
residence is separated from the school yard by a 6 foot high
block wall.
2. The granting of Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 88-3 will
not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington
Beach.
3. The strict application of the Zoning Ordinance creates a
hardship for the applicant because block wall requirements are
meant to attenuate noise from daycare centers located in single
family homes. This project is located at a former school site.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The site plan and floor plans received and dated January 27,
1988, shall be the approved layout.

permit/conditional exception shall be revoked with all monies
spent at applicant's risk.

Huntington Beach prior to operation.
PC Minutes - 2/17/88 -9- (0184d)
6. All building spoils, such as unusable lumber, wire, pipe, and

and Fire Department.

Federal Fire Codes, Ordinances, and standards.

Department Standards.

months of the date of this approval to verify compliance with

conditional use permit if any violation of these conditions or
the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code occurs.

PC Minutes - 2/17/88 -11- (0184d)
C-6 APPEAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO, 87-34
APPLICANT: D'AMBRA, INC.
On January 13, 1988, the Zoning Administrator approved Coastal
Development Permit No. 87-34, a request for an approximately 1,500
square foot second story addition to an existing 2,095 square foot
single family home located at 3502 Gilbert Drive. On January 21,
1988, Mr. John Gerry, an area resident, appealed the Zoning
Administrator's approval on the basis that the proposed addition
will block his view of the channel and the horizon, and will set a
precedent for development of two-story homes along the channel.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
The proposed project is exempt Class 1 Section 15301 from the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.
COASTAL STATUS:
The proposed second story addition is subject to approval of a
coastal development permit because it is located within the coastal
zone under appeal jurisdiction to the California Coastal Commission.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Deny'the appeal and uphold the Zoning Administrator's approval of
Coastal Development Permit No. 87-34 with findings and conditions of
approval.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
Jerome Lindsay, property owner, spoke in support of the request and
urged the Commission to approve. He stated that there were no
CC&R's that represented the inland residences as view property and
that there were no restrictions regarding the heights of trees. He
further stated that to deny a second story addition because of view
blockage would be setting a precedent.
Lillian Sampson, 16652 Somorset Drive, stated that as of June 1984
inland harbor lots were not sold as view lots and that there are
several two story homes on the harbor side.
Dallas Moran, 3542 Courtside Circle, stated that view lots were not
promised to any Huntington Harbor residents.
Ted Shepherd, 16672 Wellington Circle, stated that he paid a premium
to live on the hill with a view lot. He said that his inland home
does have a view of the channel and boating activities and presents
an uncrowded feeling. He is concerned that with two story homes
being approved that the hill will be surrounded and views blocked.
He is also concerned with two story homes being converted to second
units and bringing the value of the homes down.
PC Minutes - 2/17/88 -12- (0184d)
Richard Munch, 16691 Melville Circle, stated that he supported Ted
Shepherd's views and was opposed to allowing two story homes along
the harbor side.
John Gerry, appellant, said that Gilbert Island is the only raised
island in Huntington Harbor and that if the views were taken away it
would lower their property values. He feels that the open feeling
and the present quality of life that they enjoy should be preserved.
Isola Gerry, 16672 Melville Circle, spoke in support of preserving
the quality of life now enjoyed by the people living on the hill on
Gilbert Island. She stated that she is a social scientist and that
the open feeling she enjoys is very important to her and would hate
to see a wall of two story homes constructed around her.
Lou DeCandido, 5802 Carbeck Drive, builder of the proposed two story
home, spoke in support of the request.
Amber Lindsay, 6761 Bridgewater, property owner/applicant, spoke in
support of the request. She stated that she has four children and
needs more room. She further stated that she has lived in the
proposed house all of her life and was never promised a view.
There were no other persons present to speak for or against the
request and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Silva stated that he would be abstaining from the vote
due to possible conflict of interest.

its senior facility located at 19066 Magnolia Street for a period of
six weeks while the Fountain Valley facility is remodeled. The
Ophthalmology Department will schedule some evening appointments.
The proposed Saturday hours will not cause the center to exceed its
total permitted enrollment of 10,000 members. It is estimated that
the temporary ophthalmology appointments would add 30 visits in the
evening hours and 50 on Saturdays.
PC Minutes - 2/17/88 -14- (0184d)

conditional use permit is not necessary. Any permanent change
in hours will require a new conditional use permit with public
hearing.
