B. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
B-1 CODE AMENDMENT NO. 94-3/ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO.
94-10:
APPLICANT: Adams Streeter, Civil Engineers
LOCATION: East side of Beach Boulevard, 400 feet south of Adams Avenue
(Parcel 4 of Tentative Tract No. 11673)
Code Amendment No. 94-3 and Environmental Assessment No. 94-10 represent a request
for an amendment to the Seabridge Specific Plan to change the land use designation on
approximately four (4) acres within Area B from Resource Production (01) and a
saltwater marsh to Medium Density Residential. Although staff reviewed the code
amendment request in conjunction with a conceptual site plan for development of
approximately 32 single family detached residential units, the applicant subsequently filed a
tentative tract map and conditional use permit application with a detailed site plan for a
residential development. Such applications will enable staff to conduct a more
comprehensive analysis of the code amendment in conjunction with a detailed
development request, rather than a conceptual plan. As such, staff recommends and the
applicant concurs, that the code amendment, tentative tract map and conditional use
permit be processed concurrently. This will result in Code Amendment No. 94-3 and
Environmental Assessment No. 94-10 being continued to a future Planning Commission
meeting. Staff will re -notify the surrounding property owners of the new hearing date
when scheduled.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Continue Code Amendment No. 94-3 and Environmental Assessment No. 94-10 to a date
uncertain.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY BIDDLE, SECOND BY LIVENGOOD, TO

approximately eight acres. Tentative Tract No. 15033, Negative Declaration No. 94-15,
Conditional Use Permit No. 94-49 and Variance No. 94-40 represent a request for a 71

detached units and one (1) recreational lot. The conditional use permit also includes a six
(6) foot high perimeter wall to exceed the 42 inch high code requirement for walls in
required yards, a retaining wall which exceeds two (2) feet in height and development of
lots with a greater than three (3) foot grade differentiation from the high point to the low
point Variance No. 94-40 is to allow a reduced sideyard setback of eight (8) feet for Unit
No. 34 along Florida Street. The applicant is withdrawing the Variance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending approval of the project for the following reasons:
• The project is consistent with the objectives of the planned residential development
standards in achieving a development adapted to the terrain and compatible with the
surrounding environment.
• The project provides better land planning techniques with maximum use of
aesthetically pleasing types of architecture, landscaping, site layout and design.
• The project will not be detrimental to the general health, welfare, and safety, nor
detrimental or injurious to the value of property and improvements of the
neighborhood of the City in general.
• The project is consistent with the Medium Density Residential land use designation
and the goals and policies of the City's Housing Element of the General Plan by
increasing the variety of housing types in the community.
PC Minutes - 1/10/95 4 (PCM021)
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Douglas Woodward, 7 Upper Newport Plaza, representing applicant, gave an overview of
the project. Mr. Woodward stated that the Consultants and Civil Engineers for the project
were available for any technical questions the Commission may have.
Richard Harlow, 211 Main Street, representing applicant, stated his concerns with the
conditions related to pedestrian access from Beach Boulevard, affordable housing, and
wall offsets along Beach. He requested that no pedestrian access be required to Beach
Boulevard and that an intensification of landscaping be required in lieu of wall offsets. In
addition, he requested a 120% ceiling on affordable housing rather than a 100% average.
Jerry Matney, 1421 Archlane, LaCuesta Racquet Club, stated his support for the proposed
project.
Frank Blonska, 20451 Craimer Lane, Huntington Beach City School District, submitted
two letters to the Commission. Mr. Blonska stated that the School District was seeking
mitigation for school facilities by payment of fees.
Dave Williams, 1411 Arrow Lane, spoke in support of the proposed request.
Richard Harlow, spoke to the school district request. Mr. Harlow stated that mitigation is
usually requested when a zone change will create a density increase, which this one does
not. He stated that the current density should have been considered in the school districts
plans.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR
AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
The Commission discussed the school districts submitted letter and request for mitigation.
Staff explained that there is a standard fee for any project of this type and the school
district was requesting more than this standard fee.
Commissioner Biddle stated his concern that certain areas of the project would be without
a sidewalk.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - ZONE CHANGE NO.94-5:
1. The proposed zone change from CG (General Commercial) along Beach Boulevard
(approximately 4 acres) and RMH (Medium -High Density Residential) along Florida
Street (approximately 4 acres) to RM (Medium Density Residential) does conform
with the Residential Medium Density land use designation of the City's General Plan.
PC Minutes - 1/10/95 6 (PCM021)
J
2. The proposed zone change from CG and RMH to RM is consistent with the
surrounding medium density residential land uses, because the RM district allows for
residential development which is medium density as well.
3. The proposed zone change from CG and RMH to RM is consistent with the City's
General Plan and Housing Element, in that it will provide for a variety of housing
types within the City.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 15033:
1. The size, depth, and frontage of the proposed 70 lot subdivision for 69 single family
detached residential units and one (1) recreational lot is in compliance with the
standard plans and specifications on file with the City as well as in compliance with the
State Subdivision Map Act and the supplemental City Subdivision Ordinance.
2. The property was previously studied for this intensity of land use at the time the
General Plan designation of Medium Density Residential and RM, Medium Density
Residential, (15 units per gross acre) zoning were implemented. The proposed density
of the project is 8.95 units/acre, based upon 69 units on an 8 acre site.
3. The General Plan has set forth provisions for multifamily residential uses as well as
setting forth objectives for the implementation of this type of use.
4. Tentative Tract Map No. 15033 for a 70 lot subdivision for 69 single family detached

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.94-49:
1. The location, site layout, and design of the proposed 69 single family detached
residential units and one (1) recreational lot, properly adapts the proposed structures
to streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner.
The project's design includes setbacks and building bulk compatible within the area.
2. With the suggested conditions imposed, the access to and parking for the proposed
residential development will not create an undue traffic problem on the four (4)
perimeter streets surrounding the project.

one (1) recreational lot does conform to the provisions contained in Chapter 210 of
the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance.
PC Minutes - 1/10/95 7 (PCM021)
4. The proposed project will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons residing
or working in the vicinity, nor injurious to property and improvements in the area.

development of the site with a grade differential of 18 feet between the high point and
the low point, which exceeds the code requirement of a 3 foot high maximum grade
differential between the high point and the low point, will result in a better living
environment and a design that is compatible with the surrounding area and will provide
for maximum use of aesthetically pleasing types of landscaping, design and building
layout. The residential project to the north also contains retaining walls.
7. The six (6) foot high perimeter wall along Florida Street, the three and a half (3 1/2)
