CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 89-25 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS:
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL:
1. The granting of a conditional exception will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical
zone classification. Although the minimum dimension is fifteen (15) feet in lieu of
twenty (20) feet, over sixteen hundred (1,600) square feet of usable open space is
being provided [seven hundred (700) square feet over the code mandated nine
hundred (900) square feet].
ZA Minutes 6/21/89 -4-
5023h
2.
Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size,
shape, topography, location or surroundings, 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 classification. The property is pie
shaped giving a larger dimension across the rear of the property. Even with a
smaller dimension, adequate open space can be provided. Additionally, the property
backs up to Slater Avenue. The excessive traffic noise precludes the normal
enjoyment of the required open space.
3.
The granting of a conditional exception is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of
one or more substantial property rights.
4.
The granting of conditional exception will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to property in the same zone classifications.
5.
The granting of a conditional exception will not adversely affect the general plan of
the City of Huntington Beach.
