said that they could not. The Commission also asked staff if the
city staff could initiate a zone change on any property in the

existing use of the property and is compatible with adjacent
land uses.

No. 92-2 and forward to the City Council with a recommendation for
approval.

is a request to permit the sales and leasing of new and used
automobiles as a permanent use on a lot previously considered for
temporary auto sales only pursuant to Section 9220.1(c)A of the
Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. The site is located near the
southwest corner of Beach Boulevard and Yorktown Avenue and has been
operating as automobile sales and leasing since 1986. The use
permit application is before the Planning Commission for review
because of the nature of the variance requests.
Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 91-54 has been initiated
because the proposed use does not comply with the Huntington Beach
Ordinance code, Article 922, Commercial District Standards and
Article 960, Off-street Parking and Landscaping in the following
areas:
1. Section 9220.3 specifies that properties in District C4, Highway
Commercial, shall have a minimum lot frontage of 100 feet. The
applicant is requesting that the lot be established as a legal
building site with 70 feet of lot frontage.

foot front yard setback shall be provided. The existing
building is setback 42 feet from the front property line.
3. Section 9603.A specifies that driveways greater than 150 feet in
length provide a minimum width of 20 feet. The applicant is
requesting a drive aisle width of 18 feet towards the rear of
the project between existing landscape planters.
4. Section 9220.10(a)(3) specifies that a three (3) foot wide
landscaping strip be provided along all street frontages in
addition to that which is required by Article 960 when
automobiles are displayed within the setback area. Article 960
requires ten (10) feet of landscaping along any streetside
property for a total of 13 feet. The applicant is requesting to
maintain a ten (10) foot wide landscape planter along Beach
Boulevard which currently exists on -site.
