a non -conforming mortuary (Pierce Brother's) pursuant to Section 9220 of the
Huntington Beach Ordinance Code.
Location: 627 Main Street
Jane Madera, Staff Planner reported that this application was a request for a use permit for Pierce
Bros. Mortuary on Main Street. Staff presented a rendering for the proposed project. Staff

mortuary is a non -conforming use because of the use itself, the setbacks along the street, and the
lot size. Staff reported that the buildings to be demolished are located within a designated
historical resources area. The structures have been examined by a member of the historical
resources board and have been determined to have no historical value. The applicant's proposal
includes two different parking layouts. The first plan is to stripe the parking lot in a normal
fashion for everyday use. The second plan would utilize parking controls to stack vehicles in the
lot for funeral processions. Staff recommended approval with findings and conditions.

personnel would be present to control traffic and direct parking during the funeral processions.
