Conditional Use Permit No. 90-45 is a request for a 122,665 square

Meadowlark Airport site into three (3) parcels; parcels one and two
for the shopping center and parcel three for the remaining
residential area. The Meadowlark Masterplan is a requirement of the
Meadowlark Specific Plan and is intended to provide a guide to the
future development and phasing of the entire Meadowlark site.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional
Use Permit No. 90-45, Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 91-31 and
Tentative Parcel map No. 90-268 with findings and suggested
conditions of approval. Also approve Meadowlark Conceptual Master ■
Plan with findings and suggested conditions.
A discussion ensued among the Commissioners regarding rear access,
drainage, perimeter buffer, the pedestrian plan in the Master Plan,
sidewalks and soils testing. Staff responded to the Commissioners
concerns.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Cheryle B. Browning, 16771 Roosevelt Lane, spoke against the
requests. Ms. Browning asked staff to present the applicant's
Alternative "A". Hal Simmons, Senior Planner, explained to the
Commission that Alternative "A" was a concept introduced by the
applicant, it was not a staff recommendation. Ms. Browning felt
there had not been enough review time to make a decision.
Mark J. Browning, 1677 Roosevelt Lane, stated he was not adverse to
higher density, but felt a redistribution of that density should
occur. Mr. Browning also stated he was in favor of the applicant's
Alternative "A".
Barbara Skowronski, 5311 Overland Drive, stated her concerns
regarding the buffer, limited space between townhomes and felt there
is no need for a day care in the area.

to his family. He stated other alternatives should be considered.
Morse Galloway, Consultant Representative, stated he was there to
answer any questions the Commission may have. Mr. Galloway
explained that Alternative "A" was one of many alternatives
presented to staff, but their presentation to the Commission

of the proposed subdivision for commercial and residential
development are in compliance with the standard plans and
specifications on file with the City as well as in compliance with

Subdivision Ordinance.
2. The property was previously studied for this intensity of land use
at the time that the General Plan Designation of Planned Community
and zoning of Meadowlark Specific Plan were adopted.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 91-31:
1. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the land, buildings and premises that do not apply
generally to other property or uses in the district because the
site is governed by the Meadowlark Specific Plan which is more
restrictive than standard zoning. Also, the site area is reduced
by the need for a public street through the project as well as
other requirements for interior side yard landscaping and building
location.
2. The granting of a conditional exception for reduction in front
landscape setback is necessary in order to preserve the enjoyment
of one or more substantial property rights because of other
unusually restrictive development standards.
3. The granting of Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 91-31 for
reduction in front landscape setback will not be materially
detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, or injurious
to the conforming improvements in the neighborhood.
4. The granting of this conditional exception from Section N.4.d of
the Meadowlark Specific Plan will not defeat the general purposes
or intent of the Specific Plan which is to provide an attractively
landscaped shopping center frontage.
5. The granting of the conditional exception for reduction in front
landscape setback will not adversely affect the General Plan of
the City of Huntington Beach.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 90-45:
1. The location, site layout, and design of the proposed shopping
center properly adapts the proposed structures to streets,
driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious
manner.
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 shopping center does
not create an undue traffic problem.
4. The proposed shopping center is consistent with the General Plan
land use designation of Planned Community.
5. The proposed shopping center is in general conformance with the
standards and specifications of the Meadowlark Specific Plan as
well as with the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code.

safety of the use, structure or site, or adjacent land uses.
3. The special permit will result in a more effective and efficient
circulation pattern and parking layout.
4. The special permit will enhance the general appearance of the
development and its surroundings.

health, safety, welfare, or convenience, nor injurious to property
values in the vicinity.

D-2 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO, 88-11/CONVENIENCE MARKET WITH BEER
AND WINE SALES - ANNUAL REVIEW:
APPLICANT: AHMAD MOZAFFARI/MAX MARKET
LOCATION: 17483 Beach Boulevard
On May 17, 1988, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use
Permit No. 88-11, a request to operate a convenience market with
beer and wine sales in an existing commercial center located
approximately 200 feet northeast of the corner of Beach Boulevard
and Slater Avenue. Condition No. 10 states that: A one year review
of the use (convenience market) shall be conducted to verify
compliance with all conditions of approval and applicable Articles
of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code (see Attachment No. 2). As a
result of the applicant being cited by the Land Use Section for the
reface of a freestanding sign without building permits and the
subsequent review of previous entitlements, it was noted that no
annual review of the use had been conducted. Therefore, the
Planning Division has initiated the review process and scheduled a
review of the use and conditions of approval for Planning Commission
action.
On November 16, 1990 and January 28, 1991, the Land Use Section
conducted an inspection of the site (see Attachment No. 4). In
addition, the Land Use Section reports that no land use complaints
have been received regarding violations of the applicable conditions
of approval. It should be noted that the Huntington Beach Police
Department has received a minimum of eight (8) calls for assistance
at the shopping center in the last 18 months. The majority of calls
for assistance are for petty theft associated with the convenience
market.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission schedule a revocation
hearing of Conditional Use Permit No. 88-11 within 30 days unless
the applicant is able to demonstrate immediate and consistent
compliance with the conditions of approval.
