USE PERMIT NO.93-62/CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO.93-35
WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE
FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. HE STATED
THAT THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR CAN BE
APPEALED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITHIN TEN (10)
CALENDAR DAYS.
ZA Minutes - 9/29/93 -8-
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL -USE PERMIT NO.93-62:
1. Use Permit No. 93-62 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the 1,141
square foot addition and remodel to an existing non -conforming single family
dwelling will not be detrimental to:
a. The general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. All
portions of the new construction except the garage setback will meet current
development standards regarding setbacks, open space, site coverage, building
height, and parking.
b. Property and improvements in the vicinity of such use or building. The
improvements to the site sill be upgraded as the existing sidewalk on Adams
Avenue will be reconstructed, a new sidewalk on Loma will be installed, and a
wheelchair ramp will be constructed as a result of this action.
2. The granting of Use Permit No. 93-62 will not adversely affect the General Plan of
the City of Huntington Beach. The 1,141 square foot addition and remodel is
consistent with the goals and objectives of the Low Density Residential Land Use
designation of the General Plan.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO.93-35
1. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 93-35 for reduction of the front entry
garage setback (176" in lieu of 22') will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone
classification.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size
and shape, 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 parcel is a corner lot and has two (2) frontages
of fifty (50) feet each while other typical lots in the area were subdivided with 25-
50 feet in frontage and 140-145 feet in length. The unique configuration prevents
the owner from developing the property consistent with other structures in the
vicinity.
3. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 93 -3 5 is necessary in order to preserve
the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The configuration of
the lot does not allow access to the site from an alley so the property owner must
propose access from a public street in order to provide an enclosed garage.
ZA Minutes - 9/29/93 -9-
4. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 93-35 will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare, or injurious to property in the same zone
classifications. The project approval is conditioned so that no vehicle may
overhang the public right-of-way at anytime.
5. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 93-35 will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach.
a. The applicant is willing and able to carry out the purposes for which
Conditional Exception No. 93-35 is sought and he will proceed to do so
without unnecessary delay.
b. The location, site layout, and design of the proposed use properly adapts
the proposed structures to streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures
and uses in a harmonious manner. The existing stop sign on Loma Street
will aid the visibility of motorists back out of the residential driveway
from the site as vehicles must come to a full stop at the corner.
Furthermore, the curb radius around the corner will be red painted to
prevent stopping or parking.
c. The combination and relationship of one proposed use to another on site
are properly integrated. The reduction in garage setback allows the
interior of the house to be remodeled so that habitable living areas can take
advantage of views onto the rear open space.
d. The access to and parking for the proposed use does not create an undue
traffic problem. The location of the driveway close to the intersection will
prevent vehicles from parking on -street at the corner and therefore will
increase visibility around the radius curve.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated July 29, 1993 shall be
the conceptually approved layout.
2. No parked vehicle may overhang the property line or project into the public right-
of-way at any time.
3. No vehicle access from Loma Street shall be permitted; any proposed utility door
shall be a roll -up type sectional door a maximum of eight (8) feet, six (6) inches in
width.

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.
5. Conditions of approval shall be printed verbatim on the cover sheet of all working
drawing sets submitted for plancheck.
6. Prior to issuance of building permits, applicant shall file a parcel map consolidating
the west one-half of Lots 1, 2 and 3 in Block 1013 of Wesley Park Section. Said

inspection and a copy of the recorded map submitted to the Department of
Community Development for inclusion in the entitlement file.

ITEM 5: USE PERMIT NO.93-60/CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION
(VARIANCE) 93-33
Applicant: Southern California Restaurant Enterprises
550 Candlewood Street, #18
Lakewood, CA 90712
Request: To permit the construction of a new 880 square foot drive-thru
restaurant with 874 square feet of outdoor seating area pursuant to
Section 9220.1(c)R of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. The
request also includes conditional exceptions for the front setback (104
feet in -lieu of the required 110 feet) from the centerline of Brookhurst
Street and a reduced landscape planter along Adams Avenue (6 feet in -
lieu of the required 10 feet) pursuant to Sections 9220.7 (District Map
5) and Section 9607.3 respectively, of the Huntington Beach
Ordinance Code. The applicant's request also depicts reciprocal access
with the properties to the north and to the east of the subject site.
Location: 10001 Adams Avenue (northeast corner of Adams Avenue and
Brookhurst Street)
Jane Madera, Staff Planner, reported that the applicant had provided two site plans due to
on -going negotiations for an easement with the adjacent property owner. Plan B
incorporates the proposed easement while Plan A proposes reduced width in the outdoor
seating. The request includes the proposed closure of several driveways and includes
reciprocal access agreements with properties to the north and east of the subject site.
Staff concluded by recommending approval of both the layouts submitted by the
applicant with findings and suggested conditions of approval.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
Dave Bartlett, representing the applicant, was present. He concurred with the suggested
conditions of approval except for a condition which required landscaping over a 2 1/2
foot vehicle parking overhang stating that such landscaped areas are subject to oil from
vehicles and are difficult to maintain.

ZA Minutes - 9/29/93 -12-
USE PERMIT NO.93-60/CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO.93-33
WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE
FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. HE STATED
THAT THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR CAN BE
APPEALED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITHIN TEN (10)
CALENDAR DAYS.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL -USE PERMIT NO.93-60:
1. Use Permit for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the 880 square foot
drive-thru restaurant with outdoor seating will not be detrimental to:
a. The general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The project
will provide reciprocal access from the site to the adjacent properties to the north
and east.
b. Property and improvements in the vicinity of such use or building. The reciprocal
access will aid in circulation on and off -site by reducing the number of vehicle
trips the surrounding arterials must support.
2. The granting of Use Permit No. 93-60 will not adversely affect the General Plan of the
City of Huntington Beach. The drive-thru restaurant with outdoor seating is consistent
with the goals and objectives of the General Commercial Land Use designation of the
General Plan.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO.93-33
The granting of Conditional Exception No. 93 -3 3 for reduction of front yard building
setback (104 feet from centerline of Brookhurst Street in -lieu of 110 feet) and for a
reduction in landscape planter width along Adams Avenue (6 feet in lieu of 8 feet)
will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent upon other properties in the
vicinity and under an identical zone classification. There are many other projects in
the immediate vicinity and throughout the City which do not meet the required front
setbacks as depicted on the sectional District Maps.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size,
shape, and location, 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 property owner is dedicating eleven (11) feet on
Adams Avenue for the length of the parcel to the City of Huntington Beach for
ultimate right-of-way improvements. The additional right-of-way is intended for a
right hand turn pocket for Brookhurst Street and results in a net loss of 1,485 square
feet of usable lot area.
ZA Minutes - 9/29/93 -13-
3. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 93 -3 3 is necessary in order to preserve the
enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The property is a corner lot and
must comply with greater landscape and setback requirements than properties with
only one frontage on a public street. The reductions in landscaping and setbacks
enables the property to be developed as a usable, viable operation.
4. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 93-33 will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare, or injurious to property in the same zone classifications. The
project is providing reciprocal access and closing three (3) driveways which will
reduce the points of ingress and egress to the site and increase traffic and circulation
safety.
5. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 93-33 will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach.
a. The applicant is willing and able to carry out the purposes for which
Conditional Exception No. 93-33 is sought and he will proceed to do so
without unnecessary delay.
b. The location, site layout, and design of the proposed use properly adapts the
proposed structures to streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures and
uses in a harmonious manner.
c. The combination and relationship of one proposed use to another on site are
properly integrated.
d. The access to and parking for the proposed use does not create an undue
traffic problem.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The Plan A site plan, floor plans, and building evaluations received and dated
September 28, 1993 shall be the conceptually approved layout, however, if the
applicant obtains authorization and easements from the adjacent property owner to the
north for relocation of one drive-thru lane, a landscaping strip and trash enclosure
pursuant to Plan B received and dated September 28, 1993, then Plan B shall be subject
to review and approval by Community Development Department Staff. The final plan
shall be revised with the following modifications:
a. The parking spaces along Adams Avenue shall be reduced to 16 1/2 feet in length
and the landscaping along Adams Avenue shall be increased to 8 1/2 feet in width
to accommodate a vehicle overhang.

feet in length to accommodate a vehicle overhang.

floor area, setbacks, building elevations or open space are proposed as a result of the

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.

drawing sets submitted for plancheck.
