ITEM 3: USE PERMIT NO. 94-12
Applicant: SeacliffPartners/Michael Kaizoji
520 Broadway, Suite 100
Santa Monica, CA 90401
Request: To permit perimeter tract walls and interior tract walls which exceed the maximum two (2)
foot retaining wall height and six (6) foot screen wall height to be constructed up to an
eleven (11) foot height pursuant to Section 9771(1) of the Huntington Beach Ordinance
Code. The request also includes a seven (7) foot eight (8) inch tall wall with no setback on
a new cul-de-sac, where the maximum height is forty-two (42) inches pursuant to Section
9771(1) of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code.
Location: West side of Huntington Street approximately 1,000 feet north of Main Street (proposed
Parkside Development - Tract 14662)
ZA Minutes 5/11/94 5
Jane Madera, Staff Planner reported that this application was a request for a use permit to exceed
the permitted height of walls in the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan at the Parkside Development.
Staff stated that part of the walls on this tract were reviewed at the Planning Commission level
and they were approved at a taller height than was normally permitted and therefore would not be
part of today's action. Staff reported that all of the walls proposed are a portion of retaining wall
and a six (6) foot tall screen wall above the retaining portion. Staff recommended approval of the
materials being used for the walls. Staff reported that the applicant is proposing a wall on the cul-
de-sac of Huntington. This portion requires a use permit because all residential lots that have
frontages on local streets (both front and back) must meet the required wall setbacks. The
applicant's proposed wall along the cul-de-sac is a two (2) foot setback while a ten (10) foot
setback is required. Staff recommended that the wall be setback three (3) feet onto the existing
lots, and that a three (3) foot landscape buffer be provided along the wall. There is also a ten (10)
foot corner cut off required for visibility to the adjacent lot. Staff recommended approval with
findings and conditions.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
The applicant, Michael Kaizoji was present and stated that in regards to the cul-de-sac that this
was incorrect. He stated that in the original tentative tract map approval by the Planning
Commission, the plan did not show landscape in that area. He stated that they did agree to lessen
the sidewalk to five (5) feet and had a three (3) foot landscape portion. He also stated that there
is two (2) foot utility easement around the cul-de-sac. He stated that this would give a five (5)
foot landscape area all around the cul-de-sac. He also stated that the cut-outs that staff are
proposing would be detrimental to the salability of these lots.
Mike Strange questioned if this property faced the front or rear yards of Village Court across the
street.
The applicant stated that this was their rear yard and was one of the entrances into Village Court.
Mike Strange questioned who would maintain the landscaping on this cul-de-sac.
Staff commented that Public Works does not want to maintain landscaping in the public right-of-
way and they also prefer not to have a landscape license agreement so that individuals can
maintain landscaping in the right-of-way.
Richard Lloyd stated that the vacation of Huntington Street was a request of the City because
they felt that this street was so underutilized. He stated that the City requested the applicant to
assist them in the vacating of Huntington Street and they agreed. He also stated that if the City
was consistent with the idea that Huntington Street was underutilized, that why now is the
landscaping becoming such an issue.
Mike Strange questioned staff as to whether this entrance to Village Court was a main access, and
if this was not a main access was staff still firm on the landscaping requirement.
ZA Minutes 5/11/94 6
Staff responded that this was a secondary access -and that they wanted landscaping in this area
because of the massive and bulky wall being placed around the cul-de-sac with no separation from
the street, curb, and sidewalk.
The applicant questioned what the City requirements were on Homeowner's Associations
handling the maintenance of landscaping in the parkways at single family residences.
Mike Strange responded that it was the property owners responsibility to maintain the
landscaping.
There were no other persons present to speak for or against this request.
