* The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan, incorporating
creative design that results in an attractive and viable residential area.
+ The project will provide variable front elevations and setbacks through the incorporation of
three plan types and three distinct elevation treatments within each plan type, providing a
varied streetscape.
* 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 or the City in
general. The project is compatible with existing land uses and will be provided with the
necessary infrastructure. In addition, adequate parking will be provided for project residents.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 97-98:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 97-98 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of 26
two story, detached single family homes on existing lots 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. The proposed grading, site layout and
design of the project properly adapts the proposed structures to street, driveways, and other
adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner. Due to site characteristics, such as
landscape areas and lot orientation, there is adequate setback from sidewalks and streets.
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses all of which are
residential. The project is surrounded on two sides by existing streets and by open space on
two sides and therefore will not be directly adjacent to another development.
3. The proposed 26 single family homes will comply with the provisions of the base district and
other applicable provisions in the Holly Seacliff Specific Plan and any specific condition
required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located. The proposed
residential units meet all code provisions, including lot size, setbacks, density and parking.
The project will comply with the mitigation measures of Environmental Impact Report No.
89-1.
4. The granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is
consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Residential Low Density on the subject
property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General
Plan:
LU9.1.2: Require that single-family residential units be designed to convey a high level of
quality and character considering the following guidelines:
a. Modulate and articulate building elevation, facades and masses (avoiding
undifferentiated "box -like" structures.
d. Encourage innovative and creative design concepts.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 97-32:
1. Coastal Development Permit No. 96-32 for the construction of 26 two story, detached single
family homes, as proposed or as modified by conditions of approval, conforms with the
General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program. Specifically, the project preserves and
enhances visual resources within the coastal zone, through preservation of public views and
adequate landscaping and vegetation, and it provides adequate parking.
2. The project is consistent with the requirements of the CZ Overlay District, the base zoning
district, as well as other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. The residential units
will comply with all code requirements, including setbacks, open space and parking, The

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL FOR NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 97-27
1. The Negative Declaration No. 97-27 has been prepared in compliance with Article 6 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. It was advertised and available
for a public comment period of twenty (20) days. Comments received during the comment
period were considered by the Planning Commission prior to action on the Negative
Declaration, Conditional Use Permit No. 97-9 1, and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-29.
2. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Planning that the
project, as mitigated through the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 97-
91 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-29 will have a significant effect on the
environment.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 97-91:
1 . Conditional Use Permit No. 97-91 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the
150 foot high Public Safety Tower in lieu of a maximum 40 foot high structure 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. The tower
will facilitate a county -wide radio communication network for police, fire, marine safety, and
public works agencies which will improve the general welfare for all citizens in Huntington
Beach. Although proposed at 150 feet high in a maximum 40 foot high area, the tower will
be strategically located amongst other industrial structures and as far as possible from
residential uses. The view of the structure will be minimized by placing palm trees on a berm
on the east and south sides.
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because the structure is
proposed amongst other industrial uses and views of the structure will be minimized by use
of landscaping on the south and east sides. The Public Safety tower will not be visible from
the ground within the residential area to the west across Brookhurst Street.
3. The proposed 150 foot high radio communications tower 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 and any specific condition required for the proposed use
in the district in which it would be located, with the exception of height. Conditional Use
Permit No. 97-91 has been submitted to allow the exception in height.
4. The granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is
consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Public on the subject property. In
addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan:
Goal Utilities. 5.1: Ensure that adequate natural gas, telecommunication and electrical
systems are provided.
Goal Public Facilities 1: Protect the community from criminal activity, reduce the incidence
of crime and provide other necessary services within the City.
Goal Public Facilities 2: Ensure adequate protection from fire and medical emergencies for
Huntington Beach residents and property owners.
PC Minutes — 4/14/98 11 (98PCM414)
Goal Public Facilities 3: Provide the highest level of safety and service to beach visitors and
harbor users.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 97-29:
1. Coastal Development Permit No. 97-29 for the development project, as proposed or as
modified by conditions of approval, conforms with the General Plan, including the Local
Coastal Program. The proposed Public Safety Tower complies with the following policy of
the Coastal Element:
Policy 7.c.: Promote the screening of uses that detract from the scenic quality of the coast
along public rights -of -way and within public view.
2. The project is consistent with the requirements of the CZ Overlay District, the base zoning
district, as well as other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code with the exception of
maximum height allowed within the Limited Industrial zone. Conditional Use Permit No.
97-91 has been submitted to allow the deviation in height.
3. At the time of occupancy the proposed development can be provided with infrastructure in a
manner that is consistent with the Local Coastal Program. All infrastructure necessary to
support the new structure is currently in place.
4. The development conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3
of the California Coastal Act. No access or public recreational opportunities currently exist
within the confines of the Orange County Sanitation District property where the proposed
project is located.
