B-2 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 90-4/CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION
VARIANCE) NO. 90-14 (CONTINUED FROM APRIL 3, 1990 PLANNING
COMMISSION MEETING)
APPLICANT: STEPHEN DAY - COMMUNITY METHODIST CHURCH
LOCATION: 6662 Heil Avenue
Conditional Use Permit No. 90-4 is a request for an overall
expansion of approximately 7,330 square feet to an existing church.
Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 90-14 is required as the
proposed project increases the floor area of a nonconforming
structure by more than 10 percent. The structure is nonconforming
as to the number of parking spaces provided, the parking lot
configuration and the amount of landscaping provided within the
parking area.
On April 3, 1990, the Planning Commission opened the public hearing
for Conditional Use Permit No. 90-4 and Conditional Exception
(Variance) No. 90-14. In response to concerns raised regarding the
existing parking problems, the Planning Commission continued
consideration of the project to allow the applicant to identify and
evaluate possible strategies for alleviating the safety hazards and
the nuisance created by the church members parking on Heil Avenue
and the adjacent residential streets.
Staff does not perceive that the applicant has been able to
adequately address the parking concerns which have been identified.
The only parking management measure which has been implemented has
been a carpool program. However, no measure of participation in the
program has been provided.
PC Minutes - 5/15/90 -7- (5846d)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 90-4 for expansion of a maximum
1,985 square feet with findings and conditions of approval and deny
Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 90-14 with findings.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
Steve Day, 14415 Suffolk Street, applicant, spoke in support of the
request. He said an earnest attempt to mitigate most concerns
(red -curbing and cone placement on Heil) and to be a good neighbor
had been made and urged the Commission to approve the request. He
said the suggestion to add a third Sunday service was not warranted
because of the size of his congregation. He said the only time
there was a parking impact was between 8:30 and 9:30 and 10:00 and
11:00 on Sunday mornings.
Frances Cordry, 16522 Fountain Lane, said she has lived next door to
the church for 16 years and has no concerns. She is also the
director of the nursery school at the church. She said the
playground is open to all neighborhood children daily which she
feels is a "good neighbor" attempt.
David Rogne, 6662 Heil Avenue, pastor of the church, said the church
has not had any improvements for 25 years and feels the proposed
addition will make the church more useable and will help to correct
noise problems. He said the addition is not being proposed to
increase the sanctuary, just to improve the facility. He urged the
Commission to approve so that the improvements could be completed
during the summer while the nursery school is closed. He said other
churches in the area, like their church, only require off -site
parking for approximately 3 hours on Sunday morning.
Sally Rans, 6282 Santa Ynez Drive, spoke in support of the request.
She said the church adds to the social consciousness and fulfills
the needs of the community.
Marilyn Kuga, 6741 Bridgewater Drive, spoke in opposition to the
request. She addressed her concerns with parking on Heil and in the
surrounding neighborhood. She said the required parking is 148
spaces and the church is only providing 92. She presented traffic
and accident statistics for Heil Avenue and said there have been 130
accidents in 3 years.
Commissioner Kirkland said he checked the Heil traffic statistics
and found that in 3 years 10 of the accidents fell on Sunday, 1 at
6:55 AM and 1 at 11:40 AM. The rest of the accidents occurred after
3:00 PM.
Ms. Kuga said whether the church is allowed to build or not, the
lack of adequate and safe parking exists and should be resolved.
She feels the need for adequate parking is more critical than
building modifications. She presented a lengthy letter with several
attachments, including photographs, to the Commission.
PC Minutes - 5/15/90 -8- (5846d)
1
Betty Williams, 6672 Julien Circle, presented a petition containing
40 names of residents concerned with the parking problems in the
neighborhood. She emphasized that she was not against the church,
just the traffic and parking impacts. She said the red -curbing is
just a quick -fix of the situation and feels the there should be a
long-term fix imposed. She also objects to the blocking of the bike
lane on Heil Avenue.
Vinh Gia Pham, 6581 Redgrove Circle, expressed his concerns with the
parking problems in the neighborhood and access to Heil Avenue. He
said the red -curbing has helped, however.
Lou Ann Coerper, 16591 Dale Vista, said she feels the church is
trying to alleviate the parking problems in the neighborhood. She
said the red -curbing has helped exiting onto Heil Avenue. She does
not object to the church off -site parking for 3 hours on Sunday.
She said she was told that the church parking would be expanded to
115 spaces and that their plans do not include expansion to the size
of their sanctuary for added members.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Williams said he did not support approving a
non -conforming building with a shortfall of parking and does not
feel that is the intent of the code or process.
Commissioner Leipzig stated he was not in favor of approving a
variance granted on problems created by the applicant. He
questioned staff on the land -related hardship. Staff said that the
hardship had been determined based upon the size and the location of
the buildings on the site.

ME
(5846d)
2. The combination and relationship of one proposed use to another
on the site are properly integrated.
3. The access to and parking for the proposed church facility does
not create an additional traffic problem.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 90-14:

expansion does not intensify the use or create additional
parking problems.

property, including size, location, and 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
parking area is limited in size and is surrounded by already
improved properties.
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
injurious to in
detrimental to the public welfare or property
the same zone classifications. The proposed addition does not
intensify the use or create an additional parking problem.

affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach.

plan, a grading plan, an approved site plan, and a copy of the
entitlement conditions of approval. The landscape plans shall
be in conformance with the approved site plans. The set must
be approved by both departments prior to issuance of building
permits.
PC Minutes - 5/15/90 -10- .(5846d)
13. An additional conditional use permit shall be rquired for any
of the following:

preschool;
b. The establishment of a weekday school for school age
children;
c. An increase of any building area on the site.

D-1 STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS (ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT NO. 89-8, RESOLUTION NO. 1431)
APPLICANT: CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH/STATE LANDS COMMISSION
At the May 1, 1990 Planning Commission meeting, Environmental Impact
Report No. 89-8, Conditional Use Permit No. 89-52, Coastal
Development Permit No. 89-29 and Floodplain Variance No. 90-1 for
demolition and reconstruction of the Huntington Beach Pier were
approved. The Planning Commission determined that impacts to
historic resources could not be mitigated to a level of
insignificance and directed staff to prepare a Statement of
Overriding Considerations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 1431 as amended, adopting and certifying as
adequate Environmental Impact Report No. 89-8 with mitigation
measures, findings and statement of overriding considerations.
There was a question as to whether the proposed artificial reef off
of the pier would trigger the need for another EIR or Supplement.
It was explained that the proposed reef would be a separate project
and whether a Supplement or new EIR would be needed would be
explored at that time.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY KIRKLAND, SECOND BY MOUNTFORD, TO APPROVE AND
