CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 89-48
Applicant: Robert K. Copeland
9812 Rainier Circle
Huntington Beach, CA 92646
ZA Minutes 10/11/89 -3- 5460h
Request: A variance request to reduce the minimum dimension for open
space to sixteen (16) feet in lieu of twenty-five (25) feet.
Location: 9812 Rainier Circle
Environmental This request is covered by Categorical Exemption,
Status: Section 15301, Class 1, California Environmental Quality Act, 1986
Staff reported that the applicant is adding to his existing single family residence which
will reduce the minimum dimension for open space from 25 feet to 16 feet. This will
cause the applicant to meet the open space requirement in two areas. Staff reported the
applicant must have a minimum of 900 square feet of open space. Due to the lot's
configuration staff stated that the applicant can provide areas of open space in the rear
of the property meeting the overall code requirement for open space. Staff recommended
approval.
The public hearing was opened and Bob Copeland, applicant, was present and spoke in
support of the request. There was no one else present to speak for or against the request
so the public hearing was closed.
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 89-48 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS:
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL:
1. The granting of a conditional exception to reduce the minimum dimension for open
space to sixteen (16) feet in lieu of twenty-five (25) feet will not constitute a grant
of special privilege inconsistent upon other properties in the vicinity and under
identical zone classification. Although the minimum dimension is sixteen (16) feet
in lieu of twenty-five (25) feet, over Seventeen Hundred (1,700) square feet of
usable open space is being provided [Five -Hundred (500) square feet over the code
mandated Twelve Hundred (1,200) square feet].
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size,
shape, topography, location of 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 classifications. The property is
located on a cul-de-sac and the lot is pie shaped which provides a larger dimension
across the rear of the property. With a reduced minimum dimension, adequate open
space is provided behind the front yard setback and to the rear of the property.
3. The granting of a conditional exception for a reduction in the minimum dimension
for open space is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights.
4. The granting of a conditional exception for a reduction in the minimum dimension
for open space will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to property in the same zone classification.
5. The granting of a conditional exception for a reduction in the minimum dimension
for open space will not adversely affect the general plan of the City of Huntington
Beach.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The site plan, floor plans and elevations received and dated October 2, 1989 shall be
the conceptually approved layout.
ZA Minutes 10/11/89 -4- 5460h
2. All building spoils, such as unusable lumber, wire, pipe and other surplus or unusable
material, shall be disposed of at an off -site facility equipped to handle them.
3. Low volume heads shall be used on all spigots and water faucets.
INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC CODE REQUIREMENTS:
1. The development shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Ordinance Code,
Building Division, and the Fire Department.
2. The applicant shall meet all applicable local, State and Federal Fire Codes,
Ordinances and standards.
3. The Zoning Administrator reserves the right to revoke Conditional Exception No.
89-48 if any violations of these conditions or the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code
occurs.
