ZONING ADMINISTRATOR: Mike Strange STAFF MEMBER: Mike Connor MINUTES: The Minutes of the November 21, December 5, December 12, and December 19, 1990 Zoning Administrator Meeting were approved as submitted. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS: ITEM 1: USE PERMIT NO. 90-70 Applicant: Mehran Ahrestani 18442 Manitoba Lane Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Request: To permit an existing six foot iron fence with seven foot tall columns within the front setback pursuant to Section 9771(1) of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. Location: 18442 Manitoba Lane Mike Connor, Staff Planner, reported that the item was continued from December 19, 1990 at the applicant's request. Staff reported that in field checking the surrounding neighborhood one similar fence was noted in the front yard setback; however no building permits were found for that fence. He went on to report that the Department had received two letters (one with 17 signatures and the other with one) in opposition to the request. Staff reported that Public Works Department opposed the request due to a six foot wide sewer easement along the entire length of the Southerly property line. Public Works requested a condition for a gate for City access to the sewer easement if the request was approved. Staff recommended denial based on findings. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. The applicant, Mehran Ahrestani, said he would provide the gate per Public Works request. He said the fence was necessary to provide safety for his children and to prevent automobiles from failing to stop at the end of the cul-de-sac and crashing into his home. There were no other persons present to speak for or against the request and the public hearing was closed. The Zoning Administrator advised the applicant that a finding must be established that the fence is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood in order to approve the request. USE PERMIT NO. 90-70 WAS DENIED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH FINDINGS. HE STATED THAT ALL ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR CAN BE APPEALED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITHIN TEN CALENDAR (10) DAYS. FINDINGS FOR DENIAL: 1. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the use will be detrimental to: a. The general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity; b. Property and improvements in the vicinity of such use or building. The fence is not compatible with other properties in the neighborhood which generally do not have fences in the front yard setback. 2. The granting of Use Permit No. 90-70 will adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach. 3. The proposal is consistent with the goals and objectives of the City's General Plan and Land Use Map. 4. The location, site layout, and design of the proposed fence does not properly adapt the proposed structure to streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner. The fence is not compatible with other properties in the neighborhood which generally do not have fences in the front yard setback. ITEM 2: ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO, 89-17 Applicant: Ralph Keen, Pres. PTC Industries 5721 Research Drive Huntington Beach, CA 92649 Request: To permit outside storage pursuant to Section 9510.01 S. of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. ZA Minutes - 1/2/91 -2- (8309d) Location: 5721 Research Drive Herb Fauland, Staff Planner, reported that staff had been working with the applicant on the project since 1989. Staff reported that the request to permit outside storage would require the use of code required on -site parking spaces. In order to permit the reduction of parking, staff and the applicant have been working on a floor plan which reflects a floor area vs. parking ratio allocation for required parking. The original approval of the site (Administrative Review No. 75-70) required 52 spaces. As proposed, the project would require a maximum of 42 spaces per the floor plans submitted. Staff conducted an on -site inspection which verified that the floor plans reflect a use per floor area exactly as shown on the plans. Staff indicated that there were nine vehicles parked in the parking area which left approximately 33 spaces available. The outside proposed storage would require the use of 10 parking spaces. Staff recommended approval with findings and conditions of approval to include a covenant that the floor area vs. parking ratio reflect the approved plans and that the document be recorded with the County of Orange. ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 89-17 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
