The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 89-15 for the physical therapy clinic will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1.

C-2 TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO, 89-169 IN CONJUNCTION WITH CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO 89-13 APPLICANT: FRED J. SCHEID LOCATION: 4821 Pearce Street (north side of Pearce Street appfoximately 200 feet west of Green Street) Tentative Parcel Map No. 89-169 in conjunction with Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 89-13 is a request to consolidate four parcels of land into one parcel. The four parcel consolidation is pursuant to Article 990 (Subdivision) of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. PC Minutes - 5/16/89' -4- (2771d) Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 89-13 has been initiated because the proposal does not comply with the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, Article 912, Medium Density Residential Development Standards. Section 9120.2 specifies that minimum lot size and lot width for a newly created R2 (interior) lot shall be 6,000 square feet of lot area and 60 feet of lot width. The applicant is proposing 4,650 square feet of lot area with 50 feet of lot width. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: The proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to Class 5, Section 15305 of the California Environmental Quality Act. Approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 89-169 and Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 89-13 with findings and conditions of approval. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Kazimir Begovich, architect for the project, spoke in support of the parcel map with a variance to lot size and lot width. He said the alley is non -improved and to get access to the rear would require improvement of the entire alley to Green Street. There were no other persons present to speak for or against the request and the public hearing was closed. A discussion of concerns relative to the development ensued. Single family development would be preferred on this lot since the lot is 25 percent less than a standard R1 lot, however it was felt that the lowest density expected would probably be a duplex. The Commission suggested that the developer consider carports rather than closed garages to encourage car parking in the desigated'areas in order to mitigate the already impacted parking problems. The Commission agreed that the benefits to improving this lot would outweigh the probable problems. Scott Hess reminded the Commission that the parcel map was the only item to be considered and that the development plans and driveway access to the site would be reviewed later. Also, that consolidating this site with adjoining parcels would be infeasible because there are existing developments. A MOTION WAS MADE BY WILLIAMS, SECOND BY ORTEGA, TO DENY TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 89-169 IN CONJUNCTION WITH CONDITIONAL -EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 89-13, WITH FINDINGS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Williams NOES: Shomaker, ABSENT: Kirkland ABSTAIN: None MOTION FAILED PC Minutes - 5/16/89 Bourguignon, Ortega, Mountford, Leipzig -5- (2771d) A MOTION WAS MADE BY LEIPZIG, SECOND BY SHOMAKER, TO APPROVE TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 89-169 IN CONJUNCTION WITH CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 89-13, WITH FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Shomaker, Williams, Bourguignon, Ortega, Mountford, Leipzig NOES: None ABSENT: Kirkland ABSTAIN: None 1.

The applicant is proposing to establish and operate a 2,000 square foot "English Pub" style restaurant/beer and wine bar within an existing retail center. As part of this theme, the applicant proposes to have dart tournaments and sponsor soccer teams in the area. No live entertainment or dancing is being proposed as part of this application. The proposed hours are 10:00 AM to 12:00 Midnight Sunday through Thursday and 10:00 AM to 2:00 AM Friday and Saturday. The parking required for the current mix of tenants within the center, including the proposed restaurant/bar, is 178 spaces. Currently, 183 parking spaces are available. The basis for the appeal is that the proposed use will be compatible with surrounding land uses and not be detrimental to the area, contrary to the Zoning Administrator's findings. 2 ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: The proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to Class 15303, Class 3 of the California Environmental Quality Act. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Overturn the Zoning Administrator's denial and approve Use permit No. 88-54 with findings and conditions of approval. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Bob Craig, 4901 Kona Drive, spoke in support of the request. He feels the center needs a variety of eating places. Leslie Lombardi, 16105 Bolsa Chica Rd., owner of Flower Shop in center, spoke in opposition to the request. She does not feel a beer bar is compatible with other uses in the center. She feels a beer bar will create a dangerous atmosphere for the young girls she has working in her flower shop who do not get off work until late in the evening. She is also concerned with the parking problems already existing in the center and feels the bar will create more problems. PC Minutes - 5/16/89 -8- (2771d) Linda Garbia, 4901 Kona Drive, spoke in support of the request. said she is looking forward to the added variety of eating establishments in the center, which is within walking distance the adjacent neighbors. She for Mary Boher, 16262 Hawaii Lane, spoke in support of the request. She feels the family -type atmosphere proposed will be compatible with the center. Trevor Wainwright, 4717 Arena Circle, spoke in support of the request for a neighborhood establishment. Kathy Heil, 4717 Arena Circle, said she supports the request because it will be a nice place for people in the neighborhood to walk to, thus eliminating parking problems. Mike Dunn, 6600 Warner, said Huntington Beach does not have an English Pub and fully supports the request. Kechen Chang, 16061 Bolsa Chica Rd., spoke in opposition to the request. He said this is a family center where children congregate and feels this establishment will not be compatible. He said the parking is a problem especially in front of this site, which contains two marked handicapped spaces. He said there are already three restaurants in the center and feels another one will create more noise problems. John Hennah, 4901 Kona Drive, spoke in support of the request. He said the establishment is within walking distance from many nearby apartment complexes, which means there will be no driving while drinking. Charles Curbbun, 16504 Harbour Lane, spoke in support of the request. He said an English Pub is different than a beer bar. He plans to take his children with him. Joy Curbbun, 16504 Harbouyr Lane, said there have recently been a lot of English people hired by McDonnell -Douglas and feels the establishment will be very popular. She supports the request because she lives within walking distance to the pub and is looking forward to going and taking her small children along with her. Naomi George, 17212 Marina View, spoke in opposition to the request. She said this is a family center and it does not need a beer bar. She said patrons of the pub will have to be over 21 years of age since the applicant is applying for a #42 ABC license.

He feels these stipulations will be beneficial and will help to ensure compliance with the City codes. He said, as owner of the center, if any violations occur he will step in and take action to discontinue the lease. Nigel Reynolds, applicant, spoke in support of the request. He feels his establishment will enhance the area and will create added business for others in the center. Russell Lane, 4601 Scenerio, said he supports the request for a real English Pub in the area.

Steve Dafnis, 1236 La Colina Drive, spoke in support of the request. He said an English Pub is not the same as a beer bar. George Fioussakos, no address given, spoke in support of the request.

Commissioner Williams stated he would be voting against the request. He does not feel a beer bar is compatible with the center.

Two restaurants which serve alcohol and a fast food restaurant already exist within the center. 5. The granting of Use Permit No. 88-54 will not be detrimental to the City's General Plan. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. The site plan and floor plans received and dated April 14, 1989, shall be the conceptually approved layout. 2.

PC Minutes - 5/16/89 -11- (2771d) C-4 SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT N0, 89-1 APPLICANT: FEDERAL SIGNS/QRS - DENNIS STOUT LOCATION: Great Western Bank - 16141 Beach Boulevard (northwest corner at Stark Avenue) Special Sign Permit No. 89-1 is a request to deviate from the Sign Code, Section 9610.5(b). The Code specifies that certain sites qualify for only a freestanding sign or attached signs. Since the Great Western Bank site is on a corner and the building has a reduced setback, it falls into this category. The building currently has three wall signs which meet Code; the request is to install a freestanding sign in addition. The proposed 44 square foot sign also exceeds the 30 square feet allowed by Code for such sites if no wall signs existed. Finally, the monument base is proposed to be 15 inches in lieu of the required 24 inches. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: The proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to Class 11, Section 15311(a) of the California Environmental Quality Act. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny Special Sign Permit No. 89-1 with findings. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Dick Robillard, representing Federal Signs, said the 1986 Sign Code entrapped them. He said there are several signs in the area that are non -conforming. He agreed to designing the sign with an opaque background and he said the base size has been increased to conform to code. He said he would like to see the letters remain on the tower facing Beach Boulevard. Bassom Rosen, representing the bank, said the letters on the tower facing Beach Boulevard are not sufficient. He needs proper signage to be competitive with other banks (e.g. Bank of America). There were no other persons present to speak for or against the request and the public hearing was closed. The Commission did not feel that an additional freestanding sign was necessary for adequate visibility. A MOTION WAS MADE BY LEIPZIG, SECOND BY ORTEGA, TO DENY SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO. 89-1 WITH FINDINGS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Shomaker, Williams, NOES: Bourguignon ABSENT: Kirkland ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED Ortega, Mountford, Leipzig 1 PC Minutes - 5/16/89 -12- (2771d) FINDINGS FOR DENIAL: 1. Strict compliance with Section 9610.5 will not result in a substantial hardship to the applicant since the wall signs as allowed by Code adequately identify the business. 2. The proposed sign may adversely affect the area by establishing a precedent for deviation from the Sign Code criteria limiting freestanding and attached signs on specific sites. 3. The proposed sign may be detrimental to property located in the vicinity by increasing the visual clutter of the street and detracting from other existing signs. 4. The building's use as a financial institution not generally depending on passing motorists or impulse decisions, does not need extraordinary signing to attract customers.
