B-2 CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO 92-8 (CONTINUED FROM THE
MAY 19, 1992 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING):
APPLICANT: C.M. Thomson, Actec Engineering Corporation
LOCATION: 18622 Quarterhorse Lane
Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 92-8 is a request for a
variance from the required side yard setback of 25 to 7.5 feet along
the southerly property lines for a 1,435 square foot room addition
pursuant to Section 930 (Ellis-Goldenwest Specific Plan) of the
Huntington Beach Ordinance Code.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny Conditional
Exception (Variance) No. 92-8 with findings for denial.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.

Association, spoke in opposition to the request.

A MOTION WAS MADE BY DETTLOFF, SECOND BY RICHARDSON, TO DENY
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 92-8, WITH FINDINGS, BY THE
FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Inglee, Bourguignon, Richardson, Shomaker, Dettloff, Newman
NOES: None
ABSENT: Leipzig
ABSTAIN: None
MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 92-8:
1. The unique topographic features of the subject property do not
have any bearing on the inability to meet the side yard setback
requirements. Should the above characteristics not exist, the
addition would still be too large to meet code requirements.
PC Minutes - 6/3/92 -6- (4162d)
1
2. Since the subject property can be fully developed within
regularly established setbacks, such a conditional exception for
a reduced side yard setback is not necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights.
3. Granting of Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 92-8 for a
reduced side yard setback would constitute a special privilege
inconsistent with limitations upon properties in the vicinity.
The subject property was legally subdivided and developed in a
manner consistent with the applicable zoning laws.
4. Exceptional circumstances do not apply that deprive the subject
property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the same
zoning classifications.
5. Encroachment into the required setback of the southerly property
line is not compatible with properties to the south and would be
inconsistent with the intent of the EGWSP.
6. The addition will create an aesthetic impact onto adjoining
properties because of its mass, building height and floor to
ceiling glass elevations.
7. The privacy of adjoining properties will be impacted by the
proposal due to the numerous windows on the southerly elevation
and the proposed addition height.
