Donald McCallum, 6841 Nyanza Drive, requested Planning
Commission follow up on complaints filed with the City
Attorney's office regarding on -going code violations at the
Home Depot. He also requested revocation procedures be

gas fork lifts instead of electric; trash compactor operating
after designated hours; two new illegal containers being used
as storage.

C. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
C-1 EQUESTRIAN BOND ASSESSMENT FOR TENTATIVE TRACTS 11769 AND
13210(CONTINUED FROM MAY 16, 1989 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING)
APPLICANT: THE DAHL COMPANY
The determination of the per lot equestrian bond assessment was
continued by the Planning Commission to the June 20, 1989 meeting.
Both the applicant and staff requested this item be continued until
the City Council had taken action on the Ellis-Goldenwest Specific
Plan. On June 5, 1989 the City Council approved the Ellis-
Goldenwest Specific Plan with minor revisions.
The Ellis-Goldenwest Specific Plan as approved by the City Council
does not require the establishment of a common equestrian stable
within 160 Ellis-Goldenwest Quartersection. Rather the Specific
Plan promotes estate residential with equestrian amenties. The
Specific Plan contains the provisions to encourage on -site stabling
of horses rather than requiring the construction and long-term
maintenance of a common stable. The equestrian bond assessment will
not be required of future subdivisions within the 160 acre
quartersection.
The equestrian bond assessment was imposed by the Planning
Commission on existing residential subdivision projects which were
approved prior to the adoption of the Ellis-Goldenwest Specific
Plan. There are three existing residential subdivisions which have
been conditioned by the City to provide an equestrian bond
assessment which needs to be addressed prior to final occupancy of
the last phase of development in each tract.
Staff has identified three possible uses of the equestrian bond
assessment obligation required of Tracts 11769, 13210 and 11473,
Lot 1. As an alternative, the Planning Commission may determine
that the equestrian bond assessment is not necessary since the
adopted Specific Plan does not require the establishment of a common
equestrian facility.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Direct staff accordingly.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
David Dahl, 505 Park Avenue, Balboa Island, spoke in support of
staff's position on the bond amount. He feels the amount proposed
is reasonable and encouraged the use of the fees to promote the
General Estate theme.
John Fisher, 6692 Shetland Circle, spoke in support of staff's
position on the bond amount and said he would like to see the funds
used for enhancing the area not purchasing more land.
PC Minutes - 6/20/89 -2- (3187d)

Gerald Chapman, 6752 Shire Circle, -said the only reason the
homeowners agreed to sell the set -aside lot is because they were
promised another in the area. He feels the developer should deposit
the money in an interest -bearing loan and if a decision is made to
not use it the money should be returned to the homeowners.
Don Jankowiak, 6711 Shetland Circle, said the developer agreed to an
amount of $108,000 and feels the money should be used to improve the
area. In answer to questions,from the Commission he stated 20
percent of the homeowners either have horses or are taking riding
lessons and that 15 trained horses will become homeless without an
equestrian facility.
There were no other persons present to speak for or against the bond
issue and the public hearing was closed.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY LEIPZIG, SECOND BY ORTEGA, TO REQUIRE AN
EQUESTRIAN BOND ASSESSMENT BE POSTED FOR TENTATIVE TRACTS 11769,
13210 AND 11473, LOT 1, FOR A PERIOD OF 10 YEARS BY THE DEVELOPER IN
THE AMOUNT OF $108,000 AND SHALL BE POSTED PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF
BUILDING PERMITS FOR THE LAST LOT IN EACH TRACT, BY THE FOLLOWING

COMMUNITY PARK IN THE ELLIS-GOLDENWEST AREA AND FORWARD TO CITY
COUNCIL FOR ACTION.
C-2 CODE AMENDMENT NO. 89-4/NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO, 89-11
APPLICANT: CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
Code Amendment No. 89-4 and Negative Declaration No. 89-11 is a
request to amend Article 963 (Unclassified Uses) to allow social
service type uses in residential zones and to amend Article 908
(Definitions) to include a definition for social services.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
Pursuant to the environmental regulations in effect at this time,
the Department of Community Development posted draft Negative
Declaration No. 89-11 for ten days, and no comments either verbal
or written were received.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Deny Code Amendment No. 89-4 with findings.
PC Minutes - 6/20/89 -3- (3187d)
Since Code Amendment No. 89-4 (Item C-2) and Conditional Use Permit
No. 89-8 (Item C-3) were being heard concurrently and approval of
the conditional use permit depended on the passage of the code
amendment public testimony was taken for both items.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
Vicki Walker, 3721 S. Ross Street, Santa Ana, representing Center
for Creative Alternatives, spoke in support of the code amendment to
allow social service type uses in residential zones. She feels
non-profit agencies/community services should be located in
residential areas. She briefly explained services rendered by her
center (services abused children, drug problems, etc.) She said the
center sees approximately 18 clients per day and that 43 percent of
them are residents of the City. Other services provided by the
center include support group meetings, community lectures, etc.
William Adair, 16542 Kellog Circle, spoke in opposition to the
center being located on a school site. He said parents in the
neighborhood are concerned and against the proposal. He said there
are many unattended children in his neighborhood during the day and
he feels a mental health facility would be added trouble.
Kirk Cuningham, 16621 Tunstall Lane #2, addressed his concerns and
those of his neighbors with the code amendment. He said there are
about 80 children in his neighborhood and most of them are latch -key
children and does not feel the area needs added strangers. He does
not feel a facility such as the one being proposed belongs in a
residential neighborhood.
Danna Hudson, 16621 Tunstall Lane #1, spoke in opposition to the
code amendment. He related his own experiences with drugs and said
he feels people with drug problems should not seek help in a
residential neighborhood. He does not feel it would be safe.
Vicki Glass, 16641 Tunstall Lane #1, said she was speaking for all
single mothers in the area (total of 8 on her street) in opposition
to the code amendment. She said she thinks the program sounds
wonderful however not in her area. She feels it will add traffic to
the area.
David Gobel, 16631 Tunstall Lane #2, spoke in opposition to the code
amendment. He said if a mental health facility is approved in a
residential area who is liable for thefts, injuries, assaults,
traffic problems, parking problems, reduction in property values,
etc. He said there are too many children in his area and is
concerned with their safety.
Reverend Robert Hardin, 16242 Magellan Lane, spoke in support of the
center and what it offers however does not feel it is an appropriate
use for a residential neighborhood. He said his neighborhood was
not notified of the public hearing and felt that they should have
been due to the issue.
PC Minutes - 6/20/89 -4- (3187d)

Anthony Valli, 7251 La Mancha #A, spoke in opposition to the
request. He said the park is presently overused and there are
already too many transients in the area.
Sally Mathiesen, 15471 Columbia Lane, an intern at the Creative
Alternatives Center, said the majority of their clients come from
the community not from outside the area. She said there were more
interns at the clinic than clients. She would support a center such
as this one in her neighborhood. She said these people are fearing
the unknown and that there are already existing problems in their
area and feels they would benefit from the center.
Vic Bachand, 16652 Bartlett Lane, spoke against the request. He
said parking is already a problem in the area especially with the
recent closure of parking on Goldenwest Street.
David Fehser, 16681 Tunstall Lane #4, said the only reason the
center wants to locate in this neighborhood is because of the cheap
rent and he opposes the request.
Ray Hendrickson, 4199 Campus Drive #700, Irvine, member of the Board
of Directors for the Center, spoke in support of the request. He
said he did not realize the center would create so many problems;
his center counsels victims not criminals. He further stated the
most critical problem in our schools is drugs and the only way to
solve the problem is through education. He said the center needs
more space and a location in a community that needs their help which
he believes is this one. He addressed the parking concerns
(presently 47 spaces on the site, they only require 18).
Frank Sutherland, 16661 Tunstall Lane #2, said the School Board
approached this agency to rent the school space. He feels there are
areas in the City more desirable for the center.
Mary Baroglio, 16282 Magellan Lane, said she was told that the
center did treat offenders and charged them $300 to $400 for
treatment. She is concerned that there is a pre-school right next
door to the proposed mental health clinic as well as a baseball
diamond, play yard and park. She feels this is a high -risk program.
Colleen Chapman, 9701 Ingram, Garden Grove, Administrative Assistant
for the center, said her children come to work with her and have
never experienced any problems. She said they frequently have
visiting Girl Scouts in the office and children to attend puppet
shows and does not feel they are in any danger. She supports the
request and feels the services offered are needed in the community.
Jan Tyler, 8382 Millbridge, spoke in support of the center because
she feels social services should be able to use vacant school
sites. She said she is more concerned with the alternative uses
that might be proposed.
PC Minutes - 6/20/89
-5-
(3187d)
John Stuart, 9861 Cornwall Avenue, Westminister, works for the
center, said the center only deals with victims not offenders. He
said the center is trying to educate children and grown-ups who have
relationship problems and that it is not a rehabilitation center.
He has never experienced any violance since he has been with the
facility. He said for every $20, 60 children can be helped in his
program.
Donna Cog, 16532 Kellog Circle #1, presented several petitions in
opposition to the center signed by residents in the area. She said
she is concerned with a mental health facility in a residential
area. She said Murdy Park already provides community services for
the neighborhood; they do not need any more services.
There were no other persons present to speak for or against the
request and the public hearing was closed.
The Commission expressed concern with the language in the code
amendment. They felt the proposed center was a very reputable and
needed facility however did not feel it should be located in a
residential area.

health agency shall be required to meet the criteria as outlined in
the proposed code amendment for location, size, parking, and hours
of operation. If the Planning Commission denies Code Amendment No.

C-6 CODE AMENDMENT NO, 89-8/NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 89-17
APPLICANT: CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has completed a new
Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and prepared revised Flood Insurance
Rate Maps (FIRMs) for Huntington Beach based on the most recent
study. In order to remain in compliance with Section 60.3(c) of the
National Flood Insurance Plan (NFIP) regulations, the City must
adopt these changes by September 15, 1989.
PC Minutes - 6/20/89 -11- (3187d)
The primary changes are to identify flood depths in coastal flood
areas and to change flood classification nomenclature to correspond
with County -wide maps. The changes do not modify flood depths or
floodplain development standards in the 100-Year flood zone.
Rather, the changes in that area are only in terminology. The new
coastal flood depths, however, do constitute a change in floodplain
management criteria. These changes primarily affect the beach area
on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway. Depths of flooding, due
to wave action and/or overflow of the Santa Ana River range from 11
to 13 feet above sea level. Since this new flood information is
identified exclusively on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway,
there will be very little impact on new or existing development.
The only project that will likely be affected by the new information
is the Pierside Village restaurant project, of which a portion is in
the newly identified 13 foot flood zone. It is not anticipated,
however that the new flood data will hinder construction or design
of that project. No changes to riverine flooding contours or depths
are proposed, on the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Negative Declaration No. 89-17 and Code Amendment No. 89-8
and forward and recommend adoption by the City Council.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
There was no one present to speak for or against the code amendment
and the public hearing was closed.

D-2 STATUS REPORT - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO, 88-39/ CONDITIONAL
EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) N0. 88-30
APPLICANT: LISA PRODAN
On October 4, 1988, the Planning Commission approved the above
mentioned project, a request by Lisa Prodan for the expansion of a
nonconforming structure at 808 Pecan, with variance to the front
yard setback requirement of 8 feet-4 inches in lieu of 12 feet
required, and an increase in over 10 percent floor area. (The City
Council on appeal sustained the Planning Commission's action on
November 7, 1988.)
One of the conditions required that a 90 day review be conducted to
ensure compliance with the conditions of approval. The Planning
Commission reviewed the project's status at their meeting of March
7, 1989. Since the applicant had not met all conditions of
approval, but was proceeding diligently, the Planning Commission
continued the item for another 90 day period.
The applicant still has been unable to satisfy all the required
conditions to date. The Building Division has refused to accept her
prepared plans without the architect's signature. Since the plans
were prepared eight years ago, she had a difficult time locating the
architect. Recently, these signed plans have.been returned to her.
Separately, the engineering calculations also need to be signed
before being submitted, but the applicant has been unsuccessful in
trying to fulfill this requirement.
Since the applicant has not met all conditions of approval yet, but
has been proceeding diligently, it may be appropriate to schedule
another review in 30 to 45 days.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Direct staff accordingly.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION DIRECTED STAFF TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER REVIEW IN
30 TO 45 DAYS.
D-3 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT N0, 88-40: FAMILY BILLIARDS
AND ARCADE CENTER - SIX MONTH REVIEW
APPLICANT: BENCO BEACH, LTD./ROCKETS AND POCKETS
On October 18, 1988, the Planning Commission approved Conditional
Use Permit No. 88-40, a request to permit a family billiards and
arcade center. Condition No. 12 states that: "Conditional Use
Permit 88-40 shall be approved for an initial period of five years
with a six month review from the date of issuance of Certificate of
Occupancy and report to the Planning Commission to insure compliance
with all conditions of approval."
PC Minutes - 6/20/89 -13- (3187d)
On June 13, 1989, the Land Use Section inspected the billiards and
arcade center known as "Rockets and Pockets" located at 19092 Beach
Boulevard (units JKLM) for compliance with the conditions of
approval. The inspection revealed that the family billiards and
arcade center was found to be in substantial compliance with the
conditions of approval. Most importantly, it appeared that the
concerns of the public and the Commission had been mitigated through
the adoption of selected conditions of approval. The Vice unit of
the Huntington Beach Police Department stated that no complaints had
been received since the opening of the facility. In addition, the
Land Use Section has not received any citizen complaints and the
on -site security guard stated that he had not observed any loitering
or other undesirable activity occurring within the parking areas.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Accept the six month review of Conditional Use Permit No. 88-40 and
direct staff to schedule an annual review.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACCEPTED THE REVIEW AND DIRECTED STAFF TO
SCHEDULE AN ANNUAL REVIEW.
D-4 PLANNING COMMISSION STIPEND
At the Planning Commissioner's request, staff conducted a survey of
stipends paid to the Planning Commissioners in other Orange County

Beach Planning Commissioners is comparable to other stipends paid in
other Orange County cities.
