(4 MINUTES PER PERSON, NO DONATING OF TIME TO OTHERS) A. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS NONE 0 M B. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS B-1 CODE AMENDMENT NO.96-2/LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO.96-3 (HOLLY-SEACLIFF SPECIFIC PLAN) (CONTINUED FROM THE JANUARY 28,1997, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING)• APPLICANT: PLC LOCATION: The Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan area is generally located south of Ellis Avenue and north of Palm Avenue between Main Street and the City's western boundary. PROJECT PLANNER: Mary Beth Broeren PLC Land Co. requests an amendment to the Holly Seacliff Specific Plan (HSSP) to allow RL-3 development in RM (Residential -Medium Density) and RMH (Residential -Medium High Density) districts and to include Z-lot development in the list of permitted uses in the districts. This would basically allow for small lot, detached single family units in the RM and RMH areas where they are presently not permitted. As a result of this request, staff recommends modifications to the development standards for residential development in areas designated for RL-1, RL-2 and RL-3 development. The modifications address balconies, bay windows and other architectural features in the rear and front yards, patio covers in the side and rear yards, eaves setbacks in the side yards and three other changes for the RL-3 district pertaining to site coverage, open space and side yard setbacks. These changes are recommended because they relate to small lot development and are integral to the applicant's request. On January 28, 1997 the Planning Commission took straw votes to approve the changes to the RL-1 and RL-2 development standards and continued the public hearing and action on the RL-3 standards. The continuance was recommended by staff to allow additional time to reach agreement with the applicant on proposed changes to open space and side yard setbacks. Staff has met with the applicant and has reached agreement on all aspects of the proposed code amendment, including the side yard setbacks and a proposed change to common open space for smaller projects.. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve Code Amendment No. 96-2 as proposed by staff with findings for approval and forward to the City Council. Commissioner Biddle expressed concern regarding future revenues to the City and the school districts based on the Financial Impact Study prepared for the entire Holly-Seacliff area. He is concerned the revenues will be decreased due to the reduced density. Staff explained that the fees may be less but an increased assessment value would balance the situation. Staff also explained that the applicant, PLC, would still have to meet all previously required improvements. PC Minutes - 2/11/97 2 (97pcm211) Commissioner Kerins asked staff what the public community would get out of the proposed RL- 3 developments. Staff explained that the City will benefit from having a variety of housing within the City. Staff also explained the Code Amendment will continue to allow for attached housing, but will also allow for affordability. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Phillip Ow, 509-20th Street, representing the FANS Advisory Board, spoke in support of the request as proposed. Bill Holman, PLC, 23 Corporate Plaza, Newport Beach, gave a brief history of the request. He stated that lowering the density is a positive move and they are in concurrence with staff s recommendations. Denise De Vines, 228-19th Street, FANS Member, spoke in support of the request as proposed. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Biddle suggested the developer take another look at the street scene as proposed to eliminate looking only at garage and front doors. He suggested they consider rear alleys to access the garages. Commissioner Kerins stated he felt this code amendment benefits only the developer. He stated that where there would be condominiums with pools, club houses and open space, there will now be single family detached residences with a minimal 15 foot back yard. He feels this is insufficient privacy for the homes. He also feels the open space areas provided will be insufficient. Commissioner Inglee stated that certain portions of the public are looking for this type of affordable single family detached homes. He stated that the developer would not propose these types of project if the market would not bear it. A MOTION WAS MADE BY LIVENGOOD, SECONDED BY SPEAKER, TO APPROVE CODE AMENDMENT NO.96-2 AND LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO.96-3 WITH FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL AND FORWARD TO THE CITY COUNCIL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Holden, Livengood, Inglee, Tillotson, Speaker NOES: Biddle, Kerins ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED PC Minutes - 2/11/97 3 (97pcm211) 11 1 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CODE AMENDMENT NO.96-2: 1. Code Amendment No. 96-3 to allow RL-3 type projects in areas designated for RM and RMH development and to modify the development standards for RL-1, RL-2 and RL-3 projects is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The proposed changes encourage innovative design and articulated building elevations and open space areas within subdivisions. The changes also ensure a range of product types. 2. In the case of a general land use provision, the changes are compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, the zoning district for which it is proposed. The proposed changes would affect the properties designated for residential development in the Holly Seacliff Specific Plan area. The changes modify and clarify the development standards for residential projects. 3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed. The Housing Element of the General Plan calls for a mix of housing types to be provided in the community. The proposed change to allow RL-3 development in areas for RM and RMH projects furthers that goal. The modifications to the other development standards are in response to observations of projects and input from residents and developers in order to create standards that reflect current development practice, industry standards and the City's desire for balanced, quality and attractive development. 4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. The code amendment will provide increase housing opportunities, while ensuring development standards that reflect the goals and objectives of the City. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA: The Planning Commission finds that the project will not have any significant effect on the environment and is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 20 which supplements the CEQA because minor amendments to zoning ordinances are exempt from further environmental review.

PC Minutes - 2/11/97 5 (97pcm211) ♦ The proposed mixed use project is consistent with the MV-F6/25-sp-pd (Mixed Use Vertical- 2.0 FAR/25 du/acre-specific plan -pedestrian overlay) Land Use designation of the General Plan. ♦ With the conditions imposed, the special permit requests to exceed maximum building height, encroach into ground floor and upper story setbacks, reduce public open space size and location, and reduce common residential open space will not be materially detrimental to surrounding properties or residents. Commissioners Holden, Inglee and Tillotson stated that they would be abstaining from taking action on this request due to conflicts of interest. Commissioner Biddle requested that this item be continued because of an error in the public hearing legal advertisement and because the Staff Report was not available to the public in a timely manner. A MOTION WAS MADE BY BIDDLE, SECONDED BY KERINS, TO CONTINUE THE ITEM BECAUSE OF AN ERROR IN THE PUBLIC HEARING LEGAL ADVERTISEMENT AND BECAUSE THE STAFF REPORT WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE MOTION AND SECOND WERE WITHDRAWN. Paul D'Alessandro, Deputy City Attorney, stated that the public hearing legal advertisement was adequate and would not create a legal problem. Howard Zelefsky, Planning Director, apologized for the late packet delivery and availability of the report. He stated that they were trying to provide the best information to the Commission and the public. He also stated that the legal notice was adequate. He suggested that the Commission at least discuss the item tonight and determine the issues and concerns that need to be addressed. The Commission discussed whether to continue the item or open the public hearing and have a discussion to determine their issues and concerns with the project and then continue the item. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. John Tillotson, 15272 Bolsa Chica Road, applicant, stated that this project was the culmination of eight (8) years of work, impeded by economics. He stated that at this time they must revise the project or it will fail. Mr. Tillotson stated that the project was redesigned six (6) months ago and he has been working with City staff to create a project that will benefit the City and public. Mike Adams, 19771 Sea Canyon, representing applicant, gave a brief history of the project. He stated that the applicant is requesting the special permits to create a better project. Mr. Adams also explained that this project will not deplete the housing allowance for the rest of the downtown area. PC Minutes = 2/11/97 6 (97pcm211) Mike Roberts, 15272 Bolsa Chica Street, representing applicant, stated that they were trying to build a quality project with a village environment. Art Hopkins, 404 Townsquare, spoke in opposition to the request concerned with excess noise and traffic from the garage exiting location. Bob Bolen, Downtown Business Owner, stated that the project needs more commercial to bring shoppers to the downtown area. He also felt that the project is not providing enough parking, is too large for the site and there should be no residential on the upper floors along Main Street. Carol Proctor, 9302 Velardo, stated that the request should be continued as it was an unreasonable short time frame to the read the lenghty staff report. She is opposed to the project as it is inappropriate for the location, to large, and the parking proposed is inadequate. Doug Campbell, 507 Pierside Circle, was concerned that the staff report was not available in a timely manner. He is in opposition to the request because of inadequate parking and he was originally led to believe that this site would contain a specialty market. Tamlyn Hagemeister, 415 Townsquare, #224, spoke in support of the request stating it will enhance the surrounding property values. Mike Ali, 19105 Beach Crest Lane, spoke in support of the request stating this project is important to the whole economics of the downtown area.

John Tillotson, 15272 Bolsa Chica Road, applicant, stated that they would be happy to continue the item and meet with the various concerned groups and citizens. Mr. Tillotson also explained that they had pursued specialty markets for this project with an offer to subsidize, but no market was interested except Ralph's who wanted the whole site. Mr. Tillotson also stated that economics caused the project to be revised as in today's market the previous project would have failed. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND,THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. After discussion the Commission stated they would favor a continuance and requested additional information and analysis with regards to the issues stated below: Comparison of 1991 Approved Project to 1997 Proposed Project Why Has the Project Been Revised?

(LU 7.1) b. Accommodate existing uses and new development in accordance with the Land Use and Density Schedules. (LU 7.1.1) c. Maintain the pattern of existing land uses while providing opportunities for the evolution, including intensification and re -use, of selected subareas in order to improve their character and identity. (LU 8.1) 2. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed. The zoning map amendment will provide religious and educational opportunities on property that is appropriately zoned for those uses. PC Minutes - 2/11/97 10 (97pcm211) 3. The adoption of Zoning Map Amendment No. 95-1 will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. The zoning map amendment will result in consistency between the General Plan Land Use designation and zoning classification. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO.96-112: 1. Tentative Parcel Map No. 96-112 for the consolidation of 156 encyclopedia lots into one parcel will be consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation of Public (P) on the subject property, and other applicable provisions of this Code. The consolidation of the 156 non conforming encyclopedia lots will bring the site into conformance with the minimum site standards specified in the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. 2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The church and school use conforms with the PS zoning designation and will comply with the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, except for the variances granted concurrently. 3. The design of the proposed improvements will not cause serious health problems or substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidable injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. No impacts to the environment is anticipated to occur as a result of the proposed development. 4. The design and type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property, unless alternative easements, for access or for use, will be provided. The proposed improvements will not impact the existing 15 foot wide storm drain easement located along the east property line. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.95-48: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 95-48 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the phased master plan of development for Central Baptist Church/Liberty Christian School will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. Due to the proposed site layout, including design and orientation of the proposed buildings, and the design of the parking lot and circulation on -site, the development of the master plan will not create a negative impact on the adjacent residential properties. 2. Conditional Use Permit No. 95-48 will be compatible with surrounding multifamily residential uses. The proposed buildings are situated toward the rear of the subject property adjacent to a flood control channel to the north and a parking area for an apartment complex to the east. PC Minutes - 2/11/97 11 (97pcm211) 3. The proposed master plan of development will comply with the provisions of the base district which is and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located, except for the variances approved concurrently. 4. The granting of the conditional use permit for the proposed master plan of development will not adversely affect the General Plan. The expansion of the school use is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Public (P) on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: a. Achieve the development of a mix of governmental service, institutional, educational, and religious uses that support the needs of Huntington Beach residents. (Goal LU 13) b. Allow for the continuation of existing public and private institutional, cultural, educational, and health uses at their present locations and development of new uses in areas designated on the Land Use Plan Map. (Policy LU 13.1.1) FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO.95-12: 1. The granting of Variance No. 95-12 for a 20 foot side setback in lieu of a minimum 45 foot setback for a 40 foot high gymnasium and three (3) story classroom buildings adjacent to R (Residential) districts, for reduced parking (245 spaces in lieu of 271) and reduced landscaping (no streetside landscape planter in lieu of a six [6] foot wide planter along a 230 linear foot segment of Nichols Street), will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. The reduced building setback will allow for an efficient design layout of the site without impacting adjacent properties. No additional building encroachment will occur than what currently exists on the site. Furthermore, the site will provide approximately 19,500 square feet of lanscaping, almost double the code requirement. 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 corner property is located adjacent to a flood control channel, and abuts a parking area for the adjacent apartment complex. In addition, a 15 foot wide storm drain easement extends along the entire length of the east property line restricting the location and design of the proposed development. . 3. The granting of a variance for a reduced setback, reduced parking and landscaping, is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The location of the three story school building will allow for additional school classrooms and a gymnasium, necessary for the anticipated increase in enrollment. Furthermore, the omission of the landscape planter will allow for additional on -site parking spaces. PC Minutes - 2/11/97 12 (97pcm211) 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. With the conditions imposed, the reduced side setback, parking and landscaping will not have a negative impact on the adjacent properties or residents.
