HUNTINGTON BEACH OFFICE OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
Room B-6 - Civic Center
2000 Main Street
Huntington Beach, California
WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1996 - 1:30 P.M.
ZONING ADMINISTRATOR: Herb Fauland
STAFF MEMBERS: Jane Madera, Brian James, Laura Phillips, Wayne Carvalho,
Mary Beth Broeren, Lisa Koch
MINUTES: March 27, 1996 and April 3, 1996 Zoning Administrator
meeting minutes approved.
ORAL COMMUNICATION: None
ITEM 1: VARIANCE NO. 96-4 (JOHNSON PROPERTY)
Applicant: Jeff Johnson
Request: To permit a 23 foot turning radius (for back up into the alley) in lieu of the
required 25 foot turning radius for a recently constructed garage.
Location: 730 14th Street (east side of 14th Street between Palm and Crest Avenues)
Jane Madera, project planner, stated that in May of 1994 the Zoning Administrator approved a
use permit request for a second and third story addition above the garage. The approved plans
illustrated a seven (7) foot, six (6) inch setback from a new property line created after a two and
one-half (2 1/2) foot alley dedication. It was noted that the property owner obtained the proper
building permits and began construction. Subsequently, the project was built with a five (5) foot,
six (6) inch setback from the new property line. Since construction, the City's code changed to a
five (5) foot setback; thus, the seven (7) foot, six (6) inch setback to the garage wall is no longer
required. The turning radius, however, is required to be 25 feet, whereas the project currently has
only 23 feet for turning radius. Staff determined that the variance could be supported because the
structure on the opposite side of the alley is setback approximately two and one-half (2 1/2) feet
from their property line which does afford a 25 foot turning radius. It was noted that when the
residence on the opposite side of the alley recycles or building permits are obtained for a new
structure, a minimum five (5) foot setback would be required and the minimum 25 foot turning
radius would be met at that time. Staff recommended approval of this request.

Herb Fauland, Zoning Administrator, questioned whether or not the property owner on the
opposite side of the alley has dedicated a portion of the alley. Ms. Madera stated that a
dedication has not been made.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Jeff Johnson, applicant, was present and requested approval of the application.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
VARIANCE NO.96-4 WAS CONDITIONALLY APPROVED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR AS SUBMITTED WITH THE FINDINGS AS OUTLINED BY
STAFF. 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 - VARIANCE NO. 96-4:
1. The granting of a variance for a 23 foot turning radius in lieu of the required 25 foot
turning radius will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations
upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. There are
other properties in the area that do not meet the required minimum 25 foot turning radius
because of the existing site conditions.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including location 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
classification. The property across the alley has not yet dedicated two (2) and one-half
(1/2) feet towards alley widening; therefore, in order for the subject property to provide
the required turning radius, a greater setback would be required.
3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more
substantial property rights. This variance will allow the recently constructed garage and
bedroom addition to remain in its present location.
4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to property in the same zone classification and is consistent with the General
Plan. Because there are no structures or physical obstructions within two (2) feet of the
property line at the site across the alley, the subject site actually has a true 25 foot turning
radius in which to maneuver in. Also, any new construction across the alley would have
to comply with dedication and/or setbacks from ultimate right-of-way in which the 25 foot
turning radius would be preserved.

ITEM 2: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.96-22
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD NO.96-6
(PERSONAL COMMUNICATION POLE)
Applicant: Susan DeSantis
Request: To combine a 56 foot and six (6) inch high personal communication pole with
the existing fire station communication pole. The request includes a petition to
exceed the maximum height allowed in the Public -Semi Public Zone by five (5)
feet and six (6) inches.
Location: 19711 Bushard Street (northwest corner of Bushard Street and Cape Cod
Drive)
Brian James, project planner, stated that this was a request to permit a wireless communication
pole at an existing fire station located at the northwest corner of Bushard Street and Cape Cod
Drive. The proposed pole is 56 feet, six (6) inches tall and would be placed in the same location
as an existing fire communication pole which is approximately 47 feet tall. It was noted that the
existing fire communication pole is within the Cape Code Drive public right-of-way. The request
includes a petition to exceed the maximum height allowed in the Public -Semi Public Zone by five
(5) feet, six (6) inches in order to obtain the needed height for the wireless communication facility.
Because the proposed pole and existing pole would be combined, thus reducing clutter, and
because the use would provide a needed utility, staff recommended approval of the request.

Herb Fauland, Zoning Administrator, questioned whether or not staff received any verbal or
written communication regarding this request. Mr. James stated that no communication has been
received.
Mr. Fauland questioned whether or not staff has discussed the need for landscaping. Mr. James
stated that the request includes equipment to be located directly in front of the fire station on the
existing lawn. -The equipment will be approximately 18 feet from the front property line, where
there is existing landscaping (shrubs). Mr. James further stated that the Design Review Board
reviewed the request and recommended that there be a landscape plan to help mask the
equipment. It was noted that a landscape plan has been included as a condition of approval.
Mr. Fauland questioned whether or not the Design Review Board made any recommendation as
to the color of the proposed pole. Mr. James stated that the Design Review Board supported the
proposed pole as submitted which is a metallic color.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Anne Fox, Representative for the applicant, was present and stated that the proposed pole is
streamlined and will not detract from the neighboring areas. Ms. Fox requested approval of this
application.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.96-22 / DESIGN REVIEW BOARD NO.96-6 WAS
CONDITIONALLY APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR AS
SUBMITTED WITH THE FINDINGS AS OUTLINED BY STAFF. 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 USE PERMIT NO. 96-22 / DESIGN
REVIEW BOARD NO. 96-6:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 96-22 / Design Review Board No. 96-6 for the establishment,
maintenance and operation of the 56 foot six inch high communications pole will not be
detrimental to the general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity nor
detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. A similar
communications pole, 47 feet high, currently exists in the same location. The proposed
communication tower combines the existing tower with the Personal Communications
Services antenna. This eliminates the need for a separate tower facility and reduces visual
clutter in the neighborhood. There is no known health risk associated with the facility.
The proposed tower generates non -ionizing waves at less than 1 microwatt, less than the
accepted at risk level of 60,000 microwatts;
2. The granting of 56 foot six inch high communications pole will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach. The proposal conforms to the goals and
(g:za:min:0522)

Page 5
policies of the Land Use Element (Section 3.4.2.6.1, Community Facilities, and Section
3.4.2.7.1, Residential Development) by providing utility systems to meet projected
demands and by encouraging the rational use of land through the combination of two
facilities;
3. The proposed use will comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable
provisions in Titles 20-25 and any specific condition required for the proposed use in the
district in which it would be located. The proposed 56 foot six inch high communications
pole is located in the public right-of-way and exceeds the 50 foot height limit for the
Public, Semi -Public (PS) zone. The request to exceed the height of the base district by
five feet six inches is required to combine two communication facilities into one pole. The
combination of two poles is preferable to reduce the visual clutter in the residential
neighborhood.

application is the result of Code Enforcement activity. The fence extends out to the front
property line and consists of a six (6) foot wood fence with two (2) feet of wood lattice at the
top. The request is to permit the fence in its existing position. Staff reviewed the request and
determined that the concerns of both the motel owner and homeowner could be met by bringing
-the fence back four and one-half (4 1/2) feet to the edge of the motel. Staff recommended that
'the plans be modified to show the fence cut back four and one-half (4 1/2) feet from the right -of -
