recommending approval of the request with the findings and conditions of approval as outlined in the
staff report.

APPLICANT: Evergreen Devco Inc.,1300 E. Missouri, Suite A-200, Phoenix, AZ 85014
PROPERTY OWNER: William L. Lamb, PO Box 87, Winchester, CA 92596
REQUEST: To permit construction of a drive -through Wallgreens Pharmacy. The
variance request is for a building height of 22'-6" in lieu of 18'-0", within
45'-0" of a residential district.
LOCATION: 9542 Garfield Avenue (southeast corner of Garfield Avenue and Bushard
Street)
PROJECT PLANNER: Amy Wolfe
Amy Wolfe, Staff Planner, displayed materials board stating the request is to permit construction of a
drive -through Wallgreens Pharmacy at 9542 Garfield Avenue. The variance request is for a building
height of 22'-6" in lieu of 18'-0", within 45'-0" of a residential district. Ms. Wolfe indicated that the
request was continued from the meeting of July 23, 1997, to allow the applicant an opportunity to
explore alternative treatments for the exterior of the building. Staff stated that the applicant had
submitted an alternative treatment, but after evaluation staff is recommending the original conditions
and the original palette. Ms. Wolfe noted a series of amendments staff is recommending to the
suggested conditions of approval: Condition No. 1.c., to include language to close access between
the condominiums to the east, to increase the existing wall height to a maximum of eight (8) feet
high, and transitioning to six (6) feet high at the end; Condition No. 4.b., to include language to
maintain mature trees wherever possible; Condition No. 5.g., shall be replaced with Public Works
amended language; and add Condition No. 7 to include a review of the use conducted by staff with a
noticed public hearing before the Zoning Administrator six (6) months after the issuance of
Certificate of Occupancy or final building permit, whichever occurs first. The review shall be
conducted to verify compliance with all conditions of approval and applicable Chapters of the
Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and Municipal Code.
Herb Fauland, Zoning Administrator, asked for confirmation that staff and the applicant had not come
to an agreement regarding the exterior of the building. Staff stated that was correct. Mr. Fauland
stated that he was in receipt of a fax dated July 30, 1997, regarding the suggested addition of
Condition No. 7.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CONTINUED OPEN.
Allison Pohlman, 1300 E. Missouri Avenue, Suite A-500, Phoenix, AZ, representing applicant, stated

that if the application is approved and six (6) months later the conditions are changed it would
interfere with the feasibility of the project. The applicant needs assurance that they will have an
approved viable project.
ZA Minutes - 7/3097 4 (97ZM0730)
Herb Fauland, Zoning Administrator, stated that the intent of the condition would be a review of the
project and the operations to ensure the use is a good neighbor and is in compliance with all codes
and imposed conditions of approval. Mr. Fauland suggested the six month review because of the
concerns expressed by the immediate neighbors at the previous hearing. He felt it was important to
get their feedback after the facility began their operations.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Herb Fauland, Zoning Administrator, stated that staff had made the necessary findings for the
variance and would approve it based on the findings recommended by staff. Mr. Fauland also stated
that staff had done a good job on the recommended architectural and aesthetic improvements to the
building and the site. He noted the city's new direction regarding urban design and the architectural
improvements needed throughout the city. Mr. Fauland agreed with the staff recommendation and
stated that he would be approving the conditional use permit with staff s recommended amendments.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.97-42 AND VARIANCE NO.97-10 WERE 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 USE PERMIT NO.97-42:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 97-42 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the 1,900
sq. ft. drive -through pharmacy 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. Parking and landscaping for the project will exceed the minimum requirements of
Chapter 231 and Chapter 232 of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. Construction will be in
compliance with regulations of the Uniform Building Code.
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses. The project's scale, design
and intensity will be consistent with other commercial uses in the surrounding area and
compatible with existing residential uses within the immediate vicinity.
3. The proposed drive -through pharmacy will comply with the provisions of the base district and
other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinance except for the 18 foot maximum height limitation within 45 feet of a residential
district. The proposed site plan depicts setbacks, floor area ratio, landscaping and parking in
compliance with the requirements applicable to the CG, General Commercial District.
4. The granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan. The
proposed use is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of CN (Commercial
Neighborhood) on the subject property. The goals of the Land Use Element for commercial
districts are intended to insure commercial development that is economically viable, attractive,
well related to other uses, and satisfies the needs of the city's residents. The proposed
development will, by virtue of land use development standards applied to the improvement of the
site, be in substantial conformance with the above General Plan objectives.
ZA Minutes - 7/3097 5 (97ZM0730)

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO.97-10
1. The granting of Variance No. 97-10 for a building height of 22'-6" within 45 feet of a residential
district will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other
properties in the vicinity and identical zone classification. The intent of the height restriction is to
prevent structures incompatible in height with residential development from being located within
45 feet of single story residential uses. In this case the proposed building is only a single story
structure with a hip roof, and only a small portion of the roof exceeds the height limitation. The
residential condominium project to the east of the project site is two stories high and constructed
approximately four (4) feet higher than the proposed drive -through pharmacy. Thus, the intent of
the height restriction is not compromised.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size and location,
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 subject
property is a corner lot and site development is affected by substantial building setbacks which
restrict placement of the structure.
3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights. Compliance with setback requirements and provisions for safe circulation design
standards necessitate the granting of a variance for the development of the site.
4. The granting of this variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to property in the same zone classification. Approval of the subject request would allow for the
development of the building structure with an architecturally attractive roof design compatible
with that utilized in the immediate residential areas and would permit establishment of an
economically viable, primarily neighborhood serving use, within the subject area.
5. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. The proposed
development plan and use is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of CN
(Commercial Neighborhood).
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.97-42:
1. The site plan, floor plans and elevations received and dated July 16, 1997, shall be the
conceptually approved layout with the following modifications:
a. Elevations shall depict tempered glass window panels; clay roof tile; and slate stone veneer
wainscoting along all exterior building walls and columns. All slate stone veneer surfaces
shall be sealed.
b. The site plan shall depict interlocking pavers or stamped concrete at both driveway
entrances.

c. The proposed (southerly) CMU wall and the existing (easterly) CMU wall shall be stuccoed

corner of the project site.
d. The bollards located at the main pedestrian access point to the site shall be designed to be
architecturally compatible with the proposed building. The proposed bollards adjacent to
