(VARIANCE) NO. 94-35 (CONTINUED FROM THE JANUARY 24, 1995
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING)
APPLICANT: Union Oil Company of California, 17700 Castleton Street, Suite
500, City of Industry, California 91748
LOCATION: 16971 Goldenwest Street (Northwest corner of Goldenwest
Street and Warner Avenue)
Conditional Use Permit No. 94-24 and Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 94-35
represent a request by Union Oil Company of California to remove existing service station
structures and construct a new foodmart with alcoholic beverage sales, a one -bay car
wash, a kiosk, pump islands and canopy and replace the underground storage tanks.
These applications were continued from the January 24, 1995 Planning Commission
meeting to allow staff to revise a condition pertaining to the dedication of land for a right
turn only lane and to allow the applicant to have further discussions with the adjacent
property owner about reciprocal access between the two (2) properties. Staff and the
applicant have developed a condition for the dedication requirement that incorporates a 10
year sunset clause. Agreement about reciprocal access has not been achieved. As an
alternative, a smaller size project is proposed for Planning Commission consideration.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 94-24 and Conditional
Exception (Variance) No. 94-35 with findings and conditions of approval.
The Commission questioned staff as to the determination of daylight hours and
justification for the right hand turn lane. Staff stated that the daylight hour determination
could be determined by the Commission and stated in the conditions of approval. Jim
Otterson, Traffic Engineer, addressed the justification for the right hand turn lane. He
stated that a study had been done, and the numbers showed that the amount of turns made
at that intersection more than justified the need for the lane.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Gene Du, 6937 Warner Avenue, adjacent business owner, spoke in opposition to the
foodmart receiving a liquor license.
PC Minutes - 2/14/95 2 (PCM023)
Scott Peotter, 17510 Von Karman Avenue, Irvine, representing applicant, stated that they
had come to a resolution on the conditions of approval in question at the last meeting. He
also stated that he would accept the hours of operation not to exceed 8:00 PM and the
request to have an attendant at the exit of the car wash.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR
AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY GORMAN, SECOND BY LIVENGOOD, TO
APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.94-24 AND CONDITIONAL
EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO.94-35 WITH FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF

MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO
94-35:
1. The granting of Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 94-35 for no minimum three (3)
foot wide interior landscape planter along a 67 foot portion of the north property line
adjacent to the car wash structure will not be materially detrimental to the public
health, safety and welfare, or injurious to the conforming (land, property, or
improvements) in the neighborhood. The applicant will provide vine planting material
on the north face of the blockwall on the property line which will serve as a buffer
between properties.
2. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the
land, buildings or premises involved that do not apply generally to other property or
uses in the district. Site layout for the subject property is constrained by the location
and number of driveway openings on the site which are required for adequate
circulation between properties and from the subject property to the public street.
3. The granting of this conditional exception (variance) from Section 232D.5.a of the
Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Code will not defeat the general purposes
or intent of the code which is to provide aesthetically pleasing development via
adequate landscaping. In lieu of the interior landscape planter on a portion of the
north property line, the applicant will provide landscape treatment on the blockwall.
Moreover, the applicant is providing more total landscaping on the site than is
currently required by the Code.
PC Minutes - 2/14/95 3 (PCM023)
4. The granting of Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 94-35 will not adversely affect
the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach. The project will provide more
landscaping than is currently required by the City, especially in areas that are visible
from the public right-of-way.
The applicant is willing and able to carry out the purposes for which the conditional
exception (variance)/conditional use permit is sought and he will proceed to do so
without unnecessary delay.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.94-24:
1. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 94-24 is consistent with Commercial
General designation of the General Plan which provides for commercial uses such as a
gas station with foodmart and car wash.
2. The location, site layout and design of the proposed gas station, foodmart and car
wash properly adapts the proposed structures to streets, driveways, and other adjacent
structures and uses in a harmonious manner. The project has adequate on -site
circulation between uses on the site and will provide landscaping treatment along
property lines to serve as a buffer between properties.
3. The circulation and access to and parking for the proposed gas station with foodmart
and car wash does not create an undue traffic problem. The applicant will close the
southernmost driveway opening on Goldenwest Street which will improve circulation
on and off the site, and an adequate number of parking spaces is being provided.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-24/
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 94-35:

Huntington Beach, CA. 92648
LOCATION: 300 Pacific Coast Highway
On June 1, 1994, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 93-8
which established Mr. K's Karaoke. The owner of Mr. K's Karaoke is requesting the
Planning Commission to modify two conditions of approval; one which restricts serving
alcohol beverages to the lounge area. The owner is requesting to permit serving alcohol
beverages in the VIP Room. The VIP Room is clearly visible from the lounge/food

requested to delete the condition which prohibits dancing. The karaoke establishment
does not have a designated dance floor and the lounge area is not big enough to provide
one.

The serving of alcohol beverages in the VIP Room will be easily monitored from the
lounge and food serving area.

APPLICANT/
PROPERTY
OWNER: James D. Glenn, 507 19th Street, Huntington Beach, CA
92648
LOCATION: 706 Joliet Avenue (southeast corner of Joliet Avenue and
Florida Street
The applicant proposes to construct a new four (4) unit apartment project on a 6,885
square foot parcel. Variance No. 94-37 is a request to allow a portion of the building to
encroach into the required exterior corner visibility area and to permit vehicular access
from a common driveway located on Joliet Avenue and from the alley at the rear of the
property.
PC Minutes - 2/14/95 10 (PCM023)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff supports the variance requests for the following reasons:
♦ The property width does not accommodate development in compliance with the
access requirements of Article 960, Off-street Parking, Loading and Landscaping.
♦ Properties in the vicinity are developed in a similar manner with both local street and
alley access.
♦ The proposed development plan creates a safe circulation pattern for the site and
vicinity.
♦ The proposed site plan with the center parking area access allows residents to see
each others garage doors thereby, reducing burglary and auto theft.
♦ The proposed site plan allows the apartment development to be two stories which is
compatible with the one and two story building height in the vicinity rather than two
stories over garages.
♦ The sidewalk will be constructed adjacent to the curb, and the visibility area will be
enhanced by the landscaped parkway adjacent to the subject site.
♦ The encroachment as modified by staff will allow pedestrian and motorist visibility.
♦ There is a stop sign on this corner that ensures safe and efficient vehicular and
pedestrian movements.

site plan with local street and alley access allows for adequate public visibility which
will reduce potential auto theft and burglary on the site.
4. The variances for local street in addition to alley access and building encroachment
into the corner visibility area are consistent with the following goals and objectives of
the of City's General Plan.
