207
Page 4 Council/Redevelopment Agency Minutes - 1/3/94
APPLICATION NUMBER Conditional Use Permit No. 93-34
APPELLANT: Councilman Jim Silva
LOCATION: 5331 McFadden Avenue (north side of McFadden Avenue, approximately 110
feet east of Chemical Lane)
ZONE: M1-A (Restricted Manufacturing)
REQUEST: To establish a church as shared use in an existing industrial building with joint
use of parking
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: Categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1, of the
California Environmental Quality Act
Legal notice as provided to the City Clerk's Office by staff had been mailed, published and posted.
A communication was received December 28, 1993 from Budd H. Warshauer, of Speedy Circuits,
in opposition to granting CUP 93-34. The City Clerk announced she had received an informal
petition listing 19 signatures in support of the CUP.
The City Clerk presented a staff report prepared by Community Development.
The Planning Director presented a staff report. He stated the Planning Commission's concerns
regarding hazardous material and regarding shared parking.
The Mayor declared the hearing open.
Bob Chrisman stated he worked for C. B. Commercial Real Estate and has handled the real
estate needs for the applicant through his expansion from 1700 square feet to 23,000 square feet
and was instrumental in getting the company located in Huntington Beach. He spoke in support of
the Conditional Use Permit.
Clayton Kodama, applicant, referred to a letter from Speedy Circuits opposed to the CUP and
citing possible danger of a toxic chemical spill to which women and children attending church
services would be exposed. Mr. Kodama pointed out women and children inhabit residential
homes on Cambay Lane one block away and Coastline Community College is two blocks away.
He stated If this is not a scare tactic why was he not informed of the danger at the time of his
lease.
Reverend Malcolm Toriumi. ordained minister in Presbyterian Church and Co -Leader of
Stonebridge Christian Church, stated he had been at the building on weekends and evenings and
the building was an ideal setting for beginning a new church. He stated he wants to reach third
generation Japanese -Americans who do not want a traditional Church setting or the financial
burden of financing a building. He stated he believed a church is the people, not a building.
Carl Omaye, Senior Pastor of Anaheim Japanese Free Methodist Church, described the need for
the church in Huntington Beach as only three per cent of Japanese -Americans go to any kind of
Christian Church. He stated it was extremely expensive to build a church facility and this was a
great concept to share existing facilities with a manufacturer when the premises are not in use.
Pam Tsujioka, who works in the building under question and is a member of the church, stated
she talked with the people who signed the original petition in opposition to the CUP. She stated
that after she explained the church would only occupy a small portion of the building during the
Page 5 Council/Redevelopment Agency Minutes - 1/3/94
industrial tenant's non -business hours, the people signed her petition in support of the CUP. She
pointed out the people fronting McFadden facing their building had signed the petition in support
of the CUP.
Kenneth Gibo, applicant, stated he did not want to come from an adversarial position. He stated
at the Planning Commission some nearby businesses worried the church would grow too large
and complain about the industries. He stated congregations grow very slowly and if they did grow
quickly and became very large they would move to another location. He stated their church would
not infringe on the industries in the area; they just want to meet on weekends and a few times
during the week in the evenings during non -business hours.
James Parris stated he moved his business 17 years ago into a designated area, an industrial
business complex, because noise was accepted and he would be exempt from harassment by
neighbors because of the noise from his building. He stated he was concerned that including non -
business tenants near his building would eventually result in complaints about industrial noise
from his company. He stated that almost everyone who operates a business in the area signed
the petition opposing the CUP.
Jeff Parris stated he was the Chief Operating Officer of the property that backs the building where
the proposed church would be located. He stated the zone is an industrial zone that runs 24
hours a day, seven days a week and non -business uses should not be located there as they
might complain of the noise in the future. He stated that the Police Department, responding to a
noise complaint from a residential area near the industrial park, forced his business to close for
one hour even though noise levels were within the range allowed in the industrial zone.
Todd Parris stated he was recently denied an application to operate a private investigation firm
out of the building he owns in the industrial zone. He stated he was denied because it was
considered a professional use in an industrial zone and he understood the two uses should not
mix. He stated the building applying for the CUP for the church should be kept for manufacturing
because it was dangerous to have people around machinery.
Richard Harlow addressed Council on behalf of the applicant and the Stonebridge Church. He
stated the building was completely isolated from the surrounding area and there was no way any
noise transmission either coming from the outside or going outside from within could in anyway
influence a neighbor. He stated the M1A District is the lightest industrial district in the city,
contrary to the letter submitted by a nearby property owner which contained descriptive words
which made the area sound like a heavy industrial district. Mr. Harlow stated that such heavy
industrial use is prohibited in the M1A District and referred to a letter he provided Council citing
the section of the ordinance code pertaining to M1A District standards. He requested Council
review the Planning staff recommendation and findings which recommended approval of the CUP.
Responding to inquiry from Councilmember Bauer, Mr. Harlow stated there were two walls
between the Parris building and the applicants building. He further responded that the wall was
25 feet high.
Jerry Bame stated he was speaking as a friend of the church. He stated he had heard nothing to
lead him to believe the church would not be a good part-time neighbor, in fact just the reverse.
The proposed shared user is very familiar with the property and with the site and would not be the
party to create a problem for their neighbors. He stated that this is not an application for a zone
change; that there is within the same zone and the same locale a full time church, the Calvary
Chapel; there is within the same zone a full time school, the Claremont High School; and there is
SCATs and other uses that are not industrial uses and they are all good neighbors. He stated
there were other full time churches in the same locale, and asked why not approve a shared user
church that wants to be a good neighbor.
009.
Page 6 Council/Redevelopment Agency Minutes - 1/3/94
There being no one present to speak further on the matter and there being no further protests
filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the Mayor.
Discussion was held regarding adding conditions to address the industrial neighbor's concern that
in the future the church would hold them accountable for noise associated with an industrial zone
designation. Discussion was held regarding adding a condition that would terminate the CUP at
the time either the present tenant quit the premises or if the building were sold.
A motion was made by Bauer, seconded by Leipzig, to grant the appeal of Conditional Use Permit
No. 93-34 based on the findings, as amended, and conditions, as amended, contained in
Attachment No. 3 of the Request for Council Action dated December 6, 1993.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 93-34

of parking properly adapts the proposed use to adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious
manner because the church will utilize the existing industrial layout of the building and
parking lot.
2. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 93-34 to establish a church in an existing

parking.

the goals and objectives of the City's General Plan and Land Use map designation of

because the joint use of parking agreement will ensure that parking is provided for both uses.

area and agrees to accept noise levels.
