FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 91-5:
1. The location, site layout, and design of the existing restaurant
with on -site sale of beer and wine properly adapts the existing
and proposed use to streets, driveways, and other adjacent
structures and uses in a harmonious manner. The site uses
off-street parking, therefore, the use will not impact the
residential and public uses in the vicinity.

the proposed on -site sale of beer and wine are properly
integrated. The existing restaurant is provided with adequate
seating and floor area to accommodate the addition of on -site
sale of beer and wine.
3. The access to and parking for the existing restaurant does not
create an undue traffic problem. Access to the site is provided
from Brookhurst and Bushard streets and does not impact
neighborhood residential streets. The existing fifty-seven (57)
off-street parking spaces are adequate for the existing
commercial uses.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO, 91-5:
1. The site plan and floor plans received and dated January 28,
1991 shall be the conceptually approved layout.
2. No carryout sales shall be permitted. All alcoholic beverages
shall be consumed within the restaurant.
3. All beer and wine sold by the establishment shall be placed in

the Ordinance Code, Uniform Building Code, and Uniform Fire Code.
5. All Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) requirements shall be met
prior to alcohol sales.

B-3 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 90-40:
APPLICANT: JEFFREY C. ROHRING
LOCATION: 17296 Beach Boulevard, Suite B-D (Eastside of
Beach Boulevard approximately 50 feet north of
Holland Drive)
On September 5, 1990, the Planning Commission approved Conditional
Use Permit No. 90-40, a request to establish dancing and live
entertainment within an existing restaurant known as Centerfield
Sports Bar and Grill located at 17296 Beach Boulevard (Holland
Center). The application also included a request for joint use
parking based upon the fact that the addition of ancillary dancing
requires additional parking and the site is deficient of code
required on -site parking. Condition No. 11 states: "A review of
the use shall be conducted within six (6) months of the issuance of
a Certificate of Occupancy and thereafter on a yearly basis, to
verify compliance with all conditions of approval and applicable
articles of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code.
On May 15, 1991, the Land Use Section conducted an inspection of the
site. The inspection indicates that Centerfield Sports Bar and
Grill was in substantial compliance with the imposed conditions of
approval. In addition, the Land Use Section reports that no land
use complaints have been received regarding violations of the
imposed conditions of approval for the use.
It should be noted that the Huntington Beach Police Department has
received a total of 24 calls for assistance directly related to the
use under review. The majority of the calls have been associated
with parking problems and the loud music attributed to the live
entertainment provided. In an attempt to reduce and/or eliminate
noise problems, the applicant has contracted a sound insulation
specialist to insulate the business. Also, the applicant has
notified the surrounding residents and businesses of the applicant's
attempts at eliminating the noise problems. In addition the
applicant has obtained informal approval from the property owner to
the north (Home Appliance Center) to use the available parking
during the evening when spillover parking is required.
PC Minutes - 5/21/91 -4- (0461d)
Based upon the aforementioned and the applicant's attempts at
mitigating the problems, the Police Department is recommending a six
(6) month probationary period to continue to monitor the site and
the use. Staff concurs with the Police Department recommendation
and also recommends that a formal agreement be reached between the
applicant and the property owner to the north (Home Appliance
Center) regarding the use of parking and that a noise study and
parking study be submitted to verify the abatement of the Police
Department concerns.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission accept the six (6)
month review and schedule a public hearing for the additional six
(6) month probationary review for the November 19, 1991 Planning
Commission meeting. The applicant shall provide a formal parking
agreement with the property owner to the north, a noise study and
one (1) week parking study to verify abatement of the nuisances.
The Commission questioned whether the 24 complaints received by the
Police Department were related to one incident or ongoing. Staff
explained they were separate ongoing complaints, but the applicant
is working with the residents to eliminate the problems.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Jeff Rohring, applicant, stated the last complaint they had received
was April 15, 1991. Since that time the applicant has insulated the
room and has received no complaints.
The Commission question Jeff Rohring in regards to the 24 complaints
received by the Police Department. Mr. Rohring explained they had
electrical problems which triggered the alarm system. He also
stated there had been parking problems when the other tenants in the
center were open.
Mr. Mara (SP?), adjacent property owner, spoke against the request
citing parking as a major problem.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
The Commissioners discussed the various parking problems brought
up. The applicant stated he would be willing to work with neighbors
to solve the parking issues. The Commission requested that a
parking study be done prior to the six (6) month review.

IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM):
APPLICANT: CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
The Government Code of the State of California, Section 65401,
provides that a local planning agency review a list of the proposed
Public Works projects recommended for planning, initiation, or
construction during the ensuing fiscal year as to conformity with
the local General Plan. The City Department of Administrative
Services has submitted a coordinated list of all capital projects
recommended by City departments for FY 1991/92 in the form of a five
(5) year Capital Improvement Program. The Department of
Administrative Services requests that the Planning Commission make a
finding of conformity of the projects contained in the Capital
Improvement Program with the General Plan prior to submittal to the
City Council.
PC Minutes - 5/21/91 -17- (0461d)
The projects listed in the Capital Improvement Program will
constitute General Plan Conformance No. 91-5. Staff has attached a
list of the funded and unfunded capital projects by department
classification for the Planning Commission's review. Each project
is summarized as to description, need, priority, funded/unfunded
status, and cost. The proposed list of projects for the FY 1991/92
Capital Improvement Program represents an updated and continued
implementation of the five (5) year Capital Improvement Program. A
project may be carried forward due to lack of funding in 1990/91.
If the project was funded in 1990/91 but not implemented, it has
also been carried forward to 1991/92. It is recommended that the
Commission review the project list for consideration of General Plan
Conformance No. 91-5 on June 4, 1991.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
