B. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
B-1 CODE AMENDMENT NO 90-10(A) (CONTINUED FROM THE JUNE 3, 1992
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING):
APPLICANT: City of Huntington Beach
LOCATION: Mixed Development District located at the
northeast corner of Goldenwest Street and Yorktown
Avenue.
This item was continued from the June 3, 1992 Planning Commission
meeting in order for staff to further analyze the development
standards contained in the Mixed Development provisions.
On February 10, 1992, the City Council approved the Holly-Seacliff
Specific Plan except for the Mixed Development provisions. Based on
concerns raised by residents in the area and City Council
discussion, the City Council directed staff to re-evaluate the Mixed
Development Provisions and provide nearby residents an opportunity
to participate in the planning process. Staff recommended that this
item be continued in order to further analyze the development
standards contained in the mixed development provisions. Staff
feels that the proposed mixed development provisions will provide a
basis for compatible development and protect existing residential ,
neighborhoods from visual impacts.
TAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Code Amendment
No. 90-10 (A) based on findings and forward to the City Council for
adoption.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Bill Holman, 2124 Main Street, representing applicant, reiterated
all the changes made after committee meetings. Mr. Holman supported
the request and staff recommendation.
Jay Kreitz, 19781 Island Bay Lane, representing homeowner's
association, spoke in support of the request. Mr. Kreitz stated
this was a well planned development, but expressed concern with the
visual impacts of the project. He requested their association be
allowed continual input on the development.
Jerry Hesprich, 6971 Garden Circle, stated her concern that the
setbacks were not enough to eliminate visual intrusion, and this
would lower their property value.
Glen Hesprich, 6971 Garden Circle, also stated concern regarding
visual intrusion on their property.
PC Minutes - 6/16/92 -2- (4177d)
John Roe, 19382 Surfdale Lane, committee member, stated his support
of the development. Mr. Roe also expressed concern regarding visual
intrusion impacts and offered a handout to the Commission with a
change in wording that would eliminate their concern.
Gerald Chapman, 6742 Shire Circle, expressed his concern regarding
the datum point. Mr. Chapman requested better wording to make the
datum point consistent.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Leipzig stated he would not support this request due to
his concern "That the nature of this mixed development project is
still so unclear.". He stated he would like to see a site plan at a
conceptual level, at least, before making a code amendment.
Commissioner Leipzig stated he was not against mixed development,
but with a site plan he would have a clearer idea of what the result
would be.
Commissioner Richardson asked staff if any new development would
come back before the Commission for approval. Staff stated that it
would and also a Master Conceptual Plan at first submittal.
Commissioner Richardson stated that the new language on the handout
from John Roe was acceptable to him.

PC Minutes - 6/16/92 -3- (4177d)
B-2 SITE PLAN AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO
89-6(A)/TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 13439:
APPLICANT: The Dahl Company
LOCATION: 1,000 feet south of Ellis Avenue approximately 700
feet west of Goldenwest Street.
The Dahl Company is requesting to amend Condition No. 3a in
Conditional Use Permit No. 89-6(A)/Tract 13439 which requires a
total of 227 trees as a result of a 2:1 replacement of existing
mature trees which were removed in January, 1992. The request is to
reduce the required number of trees from 227 to 176 (a reduction of
51 trees). Staff supports the amendment because the reduction of
required trees will not constitute a substantial change to the
estate residential development, the use of the property will remain
the same and the intent of estate residential landscaping will
remain in effect.
The applicant submitted a letter dated June 16, 1992 requesting a
continuance to further review the landscape plan before submission
to the Planning Commission.

MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 92-6:
1. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the land, buildings or premises
involved that do not apply generally to other property or uses
in the district. The property is the last remaining site for
development on Lake Street within the Oldtown Specific Plan. It
has an irregular shape to the north and abuts an abandoned
railroad right-of-way to the east.
2. The granting of a conditional exception for reduced lot frontage
is necessary in order to preserve the enjoyment of one or more
substantial property rights. Without the variance, the
applicant would be required to provide minimum 30 feet wide lots
which would be wider than the majority of lots in the vicinity
and same zone classification.
PC Minutes - 6/16/92 -9- (4177d)
3. The granting of Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 92-6 for
reduced lot frontage will not be materially detrimental to the
public health, safety and welfare, or injurious to the
conforming property and improvements in the neighborhood because
the adjacent properties also have lot frontages of 25 feet.
4. The conditional exception for reduced lot frontage is consistent
with the goals and objectives of the City's General Plan and
Land Use Map designation of residential which provides for
housing opportunities at the allowable density.
5. The granting of this conditional exception from Section 9130.2b
of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code will not defeat the
general purposes or intent of the code which is to ensure
adequate sized properties are created to allow development in
conformance with the applicable development standards.
6. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the proposed
conditional exception will not be detrimental to the general
welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity; and
property and improvements in the vicinity of such use or
building.
7. The applicant is willing and able to carry out the purposes for
which the conditional exception (variance) is sought and he will
proceed to do so without unnecessary delay.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE TRACT NO, 14655:
1. The size, depth, street width and other design features of the
proposed subdivision for residential purposes which includes
Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 92-6 are in compliance with
the standard plans and specifications on file with the City as
well as in compliance with the State Subdivision Map Act and the
supplemental City Subdivision Ordinance. The reduced lot
frontage was approved by the Planning Commission through the
public hearing process.
2. The property was previously studied for this intensity of land
use at the time that the General Plan designation of Medium
Density Residential (15 units per gross acre) zoning were
implemented. The reduced lot frontage does not result in
density exceeding the General Plan.
3. The General Plan has set forth provisions for residential land
use as well as setting forth objectives for the implementation
of this type of use. The proposed ten lot subdivision meets the
requirements of Medium Density Residential land use designation
in the General Plan.
4. The site is relatively flat and physically suitable for the
proposed density of 13 units per gross acre.

coastal access or views across the property.
5. Approval of the Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 92-9 will
result in no modification of the requirement of the C-LUP. The

B-5 TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 90-324/CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE)
N0. 92-14/NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO, 92-19:
APPLICANT: Joseph Gergen
LOCATION: 927 Tenth Street
Tentative Parcel Map No. 90-324 is a request to consolidate one and
one-half (1.5) lots into one (1) lot pursuant to Section 9220 of the
Huntington Beach Ordinance Code.
Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 92-14 has been initiated because
the proposal does not comply with the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code,
Article 911, in the following areas:
1. Section 9110.2 specifies that the minimum lot size shall be
6,000 square feet and the minimum lot frontage shall be 60
feet. The applicant is requesting a 5,325 square foot lot
with 35.5 feet of frontage.
An identical request was submitted by, the applicant on December 20,
1990 which was subsequently denied by the Planning Commission on
April 2, 1991. Although staff supported the applicant's request,
the Commission denied Tentative Parcel Map No. 90-324 and
Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 90-53 following public
testimony in opposition to the request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Negative
Declaration No. 92-19, Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 92-14
and Tentative Parcel Map No. 90-324 with findings and suggested
conditions of approval.

PC Minutes - 6/16/92 -18- (4177d)
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO, 92-14:
1. The granting of Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 92-14 for
reduced lot size and frontage will not be materially detrimental
to the public health, safety and welfare, or injurious to the
conforming (land, property, or improvements) in the
neighborhood. There are other lots in the neighborhood that are
as small as 3,638 square feet with 25 foot frontages. In
addition, any future development will be required to have a side
yard setback comparable to other residential developments in the
area.
2. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the land, buildings or premises
involved that do not apply generally to other property or uses
in the district. The parcel is undeveloped and a remnant piece
of land created because a portion was deeded to an adjacent lot.
3. The granting of a conditional exception for reduced lot size and
frontage is necessary in order to preserve the enjoyment of one
or more substantial property rights. The property cannot be
constructed upon unless the property is deemed to be a legal
building site through the approval of a tentative parcel map.
Other lots in the vicinity are similar in size and have been
developed as single family residences.
4. The conditional exception (variance) for reduced lot size and
frontage is consistent with the goals and objectives of the
City's General Plan and Land Use Map designation of low density
residential. The area would have approximately 3.6 dwelling
units per gross acre, well under the 6.5 unit maximum designed
by -the General Plan.
5. The granting of this conditional exception from Section 9110.2
of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code will not defeat the
general purposes or intent of the code which is to provide a
maximum of light, ventilation and open space.
6. The applicant is willing and able to carry out the purposes for
which the conditional exception (variance) is sought and he will
proceed to do so without unnecessary delay.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO, 90-324:
1. The proposed subdivision of one and one-half (1.5) parcels into
one (1) parcel for purposes of residential use is not in
compliance with the size and shape of property necessary for
that type of development. However, the property could allow for
a structure that could meet all standards of Article 911.
PC Minutes - 6/16/92 -19- (4177d)
2. The General Plan has set forth provisions for this types of land
use as well as setting forth objectives for implementation of
this type of use. The General Plan sets forth a maximum density
of six and one half (6.5) units per gross acre. The proposed
subdivision would result in a density of 3.6 units per acre for
the neighborhood.
