A MOTION WAS MADE BY RICHARDSON, SECOND BY BOURGUIGNON, TO APPROVE THE APPEAL OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 92-29 WITH FINDINGS AND MODIFIED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Inglee, Bourguignon, Richardson, Shomaker, Dettloff, Newman, Leipzig NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 92-29: 1. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 92-29 for a reduction in the required open space minimum dimension will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. The subject lot is located at the end of a cul-de-sac with less than 6,000 sq. ft. of lot area. The shape of the lot restricts structures on the front portion of the lot. PC Minutes - 11/4/92 -4- (5552d) 2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the Zoning Ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classifications. The subject property is an odd -shaped lot restricting any building on the front one-third (1/3) of the lot. 3. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 92-29 is necessary in order to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The proposed addition will provide for a one story recreation room. 4. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 92-29 will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare, or injurious to property in the same zone classifications. Granting of reduction in open space minimum dimension will not reduce the required total open space area (1,200 square feet). Further, with the conditions imposed, the surrounding properties will maintain privacy. 5. The granting of Conditional Exception No-. 92-29 will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach. The addition is consistent with the Low Density Residential Land Use designation of the General Plan. SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 92-29• 1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated July 10, 1992 shall be the conceptually approved layout with the following modifications: a.

The Zoning Administrator shall be notified in writing if any changes in building height, floor area, setbacks, building elevations or open space are proposed as a result of the plan check process. Building permits shall not be issued until the Zoning Administrator has reviewed and approved the proposed changes. The Zoning Administrator reserves the right to require that an amendment to the original entitlement be processed if the proposed changes are of a substantial nature.

One (1) component of the Agreement between the Redevelopment Agency and the applicant is to provide 25 of the units as affordable housing. Planning staff is in support of the revised project, the special permits, and the conditional exception (variance) because the project is in conformance with the Land Use and General Plan Designation of Medium -High Density Residential, is compatible with the surrounding residential developments, and is designed in an architecturally pleasing, well thought-out manner. PC Minutes - 11/4/92 -6- (5552d) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 90-12 (Revised) with special permits/Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 92-39/Tentative Tract Map No. 14357 (Revised) with findings and suggested conditions of approval THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.

He stated it was a possibility in the future but would need to be approved by the Planning Commission. Susan Allie, 7842 Lori Drive, stated her gratitude to the applicant for working with the community to come up with a mutually acceptable plan, however, she stated some concern regarding the hospital exit. Lyle Saltzer, 7841 Essex Drive #101, read a letter from his wife which stated concerns regarding inadequate on -street parking, safety impact of traffic, excessive noise, the hospital exit, gated community, and construction noise and materials.

The planned residential development for 80 units does conform to the provisions contained in Article 915 except for the conditional exception and special permit requests, which improve the quality of the project (see Conditional Exception and Special Permit Findings for Approval). 4. The proposed 80 unit project 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, because the project is properly buffered from such uses by streets and setbacks, and has been reduced in scale and density to more closely reflect existing development in the vicinity. 5. The proposed 80 unit condominium/townhome project is consistent with the Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Land Use Designation of R3 (Medium High Density Residential - Planned Development) which allows a condominium/townhome type product to be developed.

The granting of a conditional exception (variance) for 13 on -street guest parking spaces is necessary in order to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. 4.

In addition, it conforms with the goals and policies of the Housing Element. 5.

The establishment, maintenance and operation of the proposed on -street guest parking spaces will not be detrimental to the general welfare or persons residing or working in the vicinity; and property and improvements in the vicinity of such use or building. Joyful Lane has been designed and constructed at a sufficient width to accommodate on -street parking. 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.
