ZONING ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Strange
STAFF MEMBER: Jane Madera
MINUTES: The August 24, 1994 minutes were continued.
ITEM 1: CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO.94-14 CONTINUED FROM
AUGUST 24,1994 ZONING ADMINISTRATOR MEETING
Applicant: Doug Martin
17041 Twain Lane
Huntington Beach, CA 92649
Request: To permit a second floor bedroom addition over an existing detached garage and
allow 51.7% site coverage in -lieu of the maximum 50% site coverage permitted
pursuant to Section 9230.5 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code.
Location: 203 Adams Avenue
Jane Madera, staff planner, reported that the original application was a request for a four (4) foot
wide corridor in lieu of the required seven (7) foot wide corridor between the existing home and a
new room addition above the garage. The item was continued from the previous meeting to allow
time to advertise an amendment to the project and request a minor variance to site coverage with
a wider corridor. Staff reported that it was preferable to have the seven (7) foot wide corridor in
accordance with code and process a variance for site coverage. Staff recommended approval with
findings and conditions.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
The applicant, Doug Martin, was present and stated that staff proposed to allow him to go seven
(7) foot on the corridor, let him go over on the site coverage, and eliminate the outside stairway
so there would be no access from the first floor to the second floor. He concurred with staffs
recommendation.
There were no other persons present to speak for or against this request.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 94-14 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 - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 94-14:
The granting of Conditional Exception No. 94-14 for a bedroom and deck addition above
an existing garage with 51.7% site coverage in lieu of the maximum 50% site coverage
will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent upon other properties in the
vicinity and under an identical zone classification. Other homes in the vicinity have been
granted minor site coverage variances such as this because the addition is on the second
level only and substantial useable open space is maintained on the ground under the
connecting corridor.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size and
surroundings, 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 narrow lot width prevents any room additions without exceeding site
coverage even though substantial useable open space can be provided on the ground and
in upper story decks.
3. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 94-14 is necessary in order to preserve the
enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The variance to exceed site
coverage will allow the property owner to add living space at the home.
4. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 94-14 will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare, or injurious to property in the same zone classifications. The addition
meets all other requirements of the code such as setbacks, open space, and height and will
not be detrimental to adjacent properties.
5. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 94-14 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. 94-14 is sought and he will proceed to do so without unnecessary
delay.
b. The combination and relationship of one proposed use to another on site are
properly integrated. The deck above the addition will be provided within interior
stairwell from the new connecting corridor.
ZA Minutes 9/7/94 2
SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 94-14:

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL -USE PERMIT NO. 94-60:
1. Use Permit No. 94-60 to permit construction of a second story addition to an existing
single family home with non -conforming side yard setbacks will not be detrimental to:
a. The general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The second
story addition will not infringe upon privacy rights of any adjacent residences even
when constructed at the existing side yard setback. The only window at the 3'6"
setback will be located in the shower and will be opaque. The other two windows
proposed on the south elevation are setback fifteen (15) feet from the property line
and are located in a stairwell.
b. Property and improvements in the vicinity of such use or building. Access to the
existing garage will not be altered in any way as a result of this project and the
bedroom addition at an existing single family will not generate additional traffic or
parking demands.
2. The granting of Use Permit No. 94-60 will not adversely affect the General Plan of the
City of Huntington Beach. The 500 square foot master bedroom suite addition is
