THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED

request and the public hearing was closed.
The Commission discussed their main concerns with the project. They
felt that the sewage capacity had been reached in the area and
further expansion in the district would cause major problems. They
felt that since the majority of the block consisted of R2 zoning
that rezoning to R4 would create spot zoning. They also felt that
this project maximized the site coverage and lacked open space.

with the City's Genera _I Plan of Land Use which is Medium
Density Residential (15 units per acre).
2. The proposed zone change from R2 (15 units per acre) to R4 (35
units per acre) will result in an increased intensity of the
residential use allowed on the site.

units per acre) will not be compatible with the surrounding
Medium Density Residential land uses.
PC Minutes - 4/19/88 -4- (0649d)
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - USE PERMIT NO, 88-15:
1. Use Permit No. 88-15 for the construction'of a 21-unit
apartment project will be detrimental to the general welfare of
persons residing or working in the area due to the increased
noise and traffic impacts.

apartment project may be injurious to property and improvements
in the vicinity because of the increase in density from 8 units
to 21 units and will not be compatible with adjacent properties.
3. The granting of Use Permit No. 88-15 for 35 units per acre will
adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington
Beach which allows 15 units per acre.
