There being no one present to speak further on the matter and there being no

sustain the Planning Commission decision and approve Conditional -Use
Permit 88-39 and Conditional Exception 88-30 based on findings and conditions
as set _forth in Attachment #1 of the RCA dated November 7, 1988, as follows:
Findings for Approval - Conditional Use Permit No. 88-39:
1. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the non -conforming
structure 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 the nonconforming
expansion will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of
Huntington Beach.
3. The alteration/addition does not increase the number of stories.
4. The alteration/addition improves the structure's aesthetic appearance..
Findings for Approval - Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 88-30
1. The granting of a reduction in the minimum front setback requirement to 8
feet-4 inches and a 30 percent expansion in floor area is less intrusive
since the 1 of s front yard is oriented to what is the side yard of most
other properties in the vicinity.
2. Due to special circumstances applicable to the subject property,
including size and shape, the strict application of the Zoning Ordinance
is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other
properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classifications. The
size of the lot is well below the minimum requirement, 1,125 square feet
versus 2,500 square feet.
3. The creation of one on -site parking space as required by conditions of
l approvawill bring the. site, further into conformance with code and
lessen existing impacts on surrounding properties.
4. The granting of. Conditional Exception No. 88-30 for the minimum front
setback to 8 feet-4 inches and the 30 percent expansion in floor area
will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare, or injurious to
property in the same zone classification.
Page 207 Council/Agency Minutes 11/7/88
5. The structure, as modified, is generally attractively designed and an
improvement for the neighborhood.
6. The granting of the conditional exception for the nonconforming expansion j
will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington
Beach.
Conditions of Approval:
1. The site plan, floor plans and elevations received and dated August 19,
1988, shall be the approved layout except as noted below. A revised site
plan shall be submitted depicting the modifications described herein:
a. Existing patio cover which is attached to perimeter fence shall be

b. One paved on -site parking space shall be provided with access to the
alley.
2. All wiring for the entire structure shall comply with the Uniform

3. Structural calculations shall be submitted to the Building Division to

4. The development shall comply with all applicable provisions of the
Ordinance Code, Building Division, and Fire Department. A plan check
shall be performed by the Planning and Building Divisions. Once a permit
is .issued, calls for inspection should be made to verify compliance with
approved plans. This may require spot checking of footing, spot removal
of dry wall, etc.
5. Applicant shall work with Fire Department, Public Works and Community
Development to mitigate any problems with planter that may encroach into
the existing alley right-of-way. If Fire or Public Works Department
determines dedication of alley is needed in the future the planter shall
