B. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
B-1 RESOLUTION NO 1467 (CONTINUED FROM THE MARCH 17, 1992
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING):
APPLICANT: City of Huntington Beach
LOCATION: The Ellis-Goldenwest Specific Plan area bounded by
Ellis Avenue, Goldenwest Street, Garfield Avenue
and Edwards Street.
The proposed Design Guidelines have been prepared for the
Ellis-Goldenwest Specific Plan area which is located between Ellis
Avenue, Goldenwest Street, Garfield Avenue and Edwards Street. The
Design Guidelines will provide continuity of common and private
landscaping, equestrian trails, signage, fencing and street lights.
The Planning Commission continued the Design Guidelines to the
April 7, 1992 Planning Commission meeting in order for staff to
re-evaluate the trail sections. On March 25, 1992, staff met with
interested parties and a consensus was reached with regards to trail
widths and plant materials. The major change to the trails has
resulted in an increase from eight (8) to ten (10) feet in width for
trails around the perimeter of the quartersection.
Staff has
transmitted the results of the March 25, 1992
meeting to
the Dahl
Company in order to possibly revise perimeter
and internal
landscape
plans. Staff recommends continuing this item
to the
April 17,
1992, Planning Commission meeting to provide
staff the
opportunity
to properly coordinate the proposed changes
with
affected
parties.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission continue the proposed
Design Guidelines to the April 17, 1992 Planning Commission meeting.

MEETING)•
APPLICANT: Surfcrest Partners
LOCATION: Northwest corner of Palm Avenue and Seapoint Avenue
The proposal is a request to construct a 284 unit condominium
project within the Coastal Zone, located at the northwest corner of
Seapoint Avenue and Palm Avenue. The project consists of seven (7),
three (3) story buildings and two (2) recreational areas. The main
project entrance is aligned with the Surfcrest South project and the
secondary access is just south of the Palm/Seapoint intersection.
This item was continued from the Planning Commission hearing of
March 17, 1992, to allow the applicant time to submit an affordable
housing plan for staff review. Staff and the applicant met and have
mutually agreed upon a project condition of approval addressing the
affordable housing requirement on -site. The proposed affordable
housing condition of approval is presented to the Planning
Commission under Section 5.0 Coastal Status.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending approval of the project based on consistency
with the General Plan and compliance with the design and development
requirements of Article 915, Planned Residential Development, with
special permits to allow innovative architectural design and an
enhanced living environment.
Commissioner Kirkland stated that he had viewed the video tape of
the March 17, 1992 Planning Commission meeting, from which he was
absent, and would be taking action on the item.
The Commission and staff discussed the changes that had occurred on
the project.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Tom Zanic, representing applicant, stated that the project had been
previously approved by the Planning Commission but that a requested
height variance had been denied by the Commission which had caused a
redesign of the project. He also stated they had entered into a
tentative agreement with the school district.
Ernie Vasquez, project architect, spoke in support of the request
and highlighted major aspects of the project.
Jerry Buchanan, Huntington Beach City School District, confirmed
that they had come to a tentative agreement with the applicant.
PC Minutes - 4/7/92 -3- (3595d)
Daven Walden, project engineer, spoke in support of the request and
highlighted major aspects of the project.
Gerald Chapman, 6742 Shire Circle, representing H.O.M.E. Council
spoke in opposition to the request. He stated his concerns with
linear park being diminished by the developer.
Dave Sullivan, Huntington Beach Tomorrow, spoke in opposition to the
request with concerns that the project was not compatible with the
linear park.
Jack Bowland, 6881 Presido Drive, spoke in opposition to the
request. His concerns included the environmental impact report
being flawed, high noise level from heliport, affordable housing
insufficient and open space land being given to the developer.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioners Leipzig and Dettloff felt the project had been
improved from what was seen earlier but felt there was still an
impact to the linear park. They were also concerned that the noise
impact from the heliport was not properly addressed in the negative
declaration, the buffer on Palm Street was insufficient, density was
to high and that the Homeowner's Association should maintain the
park.

B-3 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO, 91-57 WITH SPECIAL PERMITS/COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 92-2/ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT N0, 92-9:
APPLICANT: Team Design (Jeff Bergsma)
LOCATION: 303 Third Street
Conditional Use Permit No. 91-57 is a request to construct a two
story 13,200 square foot building on the northwest corner of Olive
Avenue and Third Street in Downtown Specific Plan, District 5 (Mixed
Use). The building is to be occupied by Nautilus Aerobics Plus.
The proposed building closely approximates the size and architecture
of the historic building which previously occupied the site.
Special permits are requested to allow setback encroachments similar
to the previous building.
No on -site parking is proposed for the new building. Although 66
parking spaces would be required, the building is "grandfathered"
for 57 spaces credited for the previous building. The applicant is
proposing to pay an "in -lieu" fee for the remaining nine (9)
required parking spaces. The Downtown Specific plan permits such
"in -lieu" payment. Given that the proposed building is located
adjacent to the 200 block City parking structure, staff believes
that sufficient parking is available and the "in -lieu" fee is
acceptable.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending approval of the request with minor design
revisions recommended by the Design Review Board.
PC Minutes - 4/7/92 -15- (3595d)
The Commission expressed their concern regarding the grandfathering
in of parking spaces. Since the downtown buildings are still fairly
vacant, the complete need for or lack of parking may yet be known.
Mike Adams, Director of Community Development, stated that at
build -out there will be 2,000 plus parking spaces available to the
downtown, and that would be a sufficient amount.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Jeff Bergsma, 215 Main Street, project architect, stated the project
started as a historical restoration and that the tenant entering was
a very successful company.
Ed Cunningham, Historic Resource Board, stated his concern that the
building be built as close to original as possible.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.

Conditional Use Permit No. 91-19 and Coastal Development Permit
No. 91-9 is a request by the City of Huntington Beach to construct
five (5) buildings on the newly reconstructed Huntington Beach
Municipal Pier. The pier is located at the terminus of Main Street
in the Downtown Specific Plan, District 10.
Uses intended to occupy the structures include a bermline snack
shop, lifeguard tower, restrooms , bait/snack shop and a pierhead
restaurant. The proposed five (5) new buildings are to be
constructed in approximately the same location as the original pier
buildings although the new structures will be slightly larger in
size.
The plan submitted illustrates an average building height of 30 feet
for the end of the pier restaurant which does not meet the maximum
allowable building height of 25 feet. Staff recommends approval of
the pier buildings with a revision to the pierhead restaurant to
meet the height requirements of the Downtown Specific Plan and to
subsequently be submitted to the Design Review Board for approval.
STAFF RECOMMENDED:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional
Use Permit No. 91-19 and Coastal Development Permit No. 91-9 with
findings and suggested conditions of approval.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Ed Cunningham, Historic Resource Board, expressed concern that the
historical flavor of the city has not been preserved. Mr.
Cunningham also expressed concern regarding the materials to be used
in the new buildings.

B-5 GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT/NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 92-3:
APPLICANT: City of Huntington Beach
LOCATION: City-wide
0
PC Minutes - 4/7/92 -26- (3595d)
In November 1990, Orange County voters approved Measure M, the
Revised Traffic Improvement and Growth Management Ordinance.
Measure M established an additional 1/2 cent sales and use tax to be
used throughout the county for funding critical road improvements
and help to mitigate traffic impacts generated from existing and
proposed development. Portions of the monies received from the new
tax will be distributed to local jurisdictions for use on local and
regional transportation improvements and maintenance projects.
In order to qualify for the new revenues, Measure M requires each
jurisdiction to comply with the Orange County Division, League of
California Cities, County -wide Traffic Improvement and Growth
Management Program which was included by reference in the Measure M
Ordinance. One of the requirements of the program is the adoption
of a Growth Management Element for the City of Huntington Beach.
The attached draft Growth Management Element has been prepared based
on the model Growth Management Element Ordinance format approved by
the Regional Advisory and Planning Council to comply with the
requirement. This document must be adopted by the City Council
prior to May 1, 1992. Following City Council adoption, the Growth
Management Element will be incorporated into the comprehensive
General Plan Update.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Negative
Declaration No. 92-3 and Planning Commission Resolution No. 1468
recommending the City Council adopt the Growth Management Element as
a mandatory element of the General Plan.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Jerry Buchanan, Huntington Beach City School District, stated that
the plan was commendable, but the Growth Management Element does not
deal with schools.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.

the element. Staff explained that the Commission could adopt the
element as is and further consider schools in an addendum.

D-1 SIX (6) MONTH REVIEW FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 91-30
(REVISED)/CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 91-44:
APPLICANT: Gang Xu, Sakura Japanese Restaurant
LOCATION: 8052 Adams Avenue
On October 8, 1991, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use
Permit No. 91-30 and Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 91-44, a
request to permit the establishment of a night club with dancing and
live entertainment. A conditional exception (variance) to permit a
reduction of three (3) required parking spaces was also approved.
As a condition of approval, the Planning Commission requested that
the permit be reviewed in six (6) months to make sure that all
conditions of approval are complied with and to assess whether
additional conditions are needed. This condition also stated that
Conditional Use Permit No. 91-30 and Conditional Exception
(Variance) No. 91-44 may become null and void if the conditions of
approval are not complied with.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the six (6) month
review for Conditional Use Permit No. 91-30 and Conditional
Exception (Variance) No. 91-44 and schedule a revocation hearing
within forty-five (45) days. Also require that a shared valet
parking plan be initiated by both Sakura and Crazy Burro
Restaurants, require that all doors and windows be kept closed and
modify the security guard requirements.
Staff explained that items D-2 and D-3 could be heard together
because of their relationship but will have to be acted upon
separately.
PC Minutes - 4/7/92 -29- (3595d)
Staff explained to the Commission that the conditions were not fully
being complied with. A major concern was a uniformed security guard
in the parking lot during live entertainment. The security guard's
purpose would be to control noise in the parking lot, which was a
complaint of the adjacent neighbors. Also staff explained that the
doors were not always being kept shut during live entertainment.
The Commission suggested a revocation hearing in 45 days, with a
list of conditions that the applicants should adhere to during that
time.
