B-1 TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO 92-223/CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 92-35: APPLICANT: S.Y. Kimball Development LOCATION: 16231 and 16235 Whitecap Lane This project is located south of Edinger Avenue and west of Saybrook Lane at the easterly terminus of Whitecap Lane. The request involves a reconfiguration of two (2) single family residential lots at the entrance to the Faire Marin development tract. The location of the guard gate and landscape median at the private community blocks proper access to the two (2) residential lots. Convenient access to the two (2) lots can be maintained by relocating the driveways to the west side of the parcels and orienting the lots parallel to Whitecap Lane. The conditional exception (variance) is requested in order to reduce the lot frontage on one (1) lot from the required 60 feet to 20 feet. This request was previously approved by the Planning Commission in 1986 but the applicant failed to record the final map with the County Recorder. The map subsequently expired and the applicant has resubmitted the request for approval. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Planning staff recommends approval with two (2) new conditions of approval and all previous conditions to remain in effect. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Scott Kimball, 15852 Tullow, applicant, stated he was available for any questions the Commission may have. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. A MOTION WAS MADE BY RICHARDSON, SECOND BY BOURGUIGNON, TO APPROVE CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 92-35 AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 92-223 WITH FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Inglee, Bourguignon, Richardson, Shomaker, Dettloff, Newman, Gorman NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 92-35: 1. The granting of Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 92-35 to permit a 20 foot lot frontage in -lieu of the required 60 foot frontage in conjunction with a two (2) lot reconfiguration will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. 2. Because the subject property is located adjacent to the security gate operation and the perimeter wall for the tract, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of its full utilization which is so enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under the identical zone classification. PC Minutes - 12/15/92 -2- (5573d) 3. The granting of a conditional exception (variance) is necessary in order to fully utilize both lots to their highest and best potential. 4. The granting of Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 92-35 will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare, or injurious to property in the same zone classifications. The two (2) single family homes have been constructed and occupied in conformance with the proposed layout and are compatible with the size, shape, style, and architectural design of the surrounding properties. 5. The granting of the conditional exception (variance) will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach. The General Plan designation of Low Density Residential is consistent with the two (2) existing single family residences. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO, 92-223: 1. The reconfiguration of two (2) parcels for purposes of residential use is in compliance with the size and shape of property necessary for that type of development.
