This item was reviewed by the Planning Commission on March 24, 1998, at which time the item was continued with direction to clarify the request. Subsequent to that action, the applicant verbally requested that the application be withdrawn on April 15, 1998. Staff received a letter dated April 22, 1998 from the applicant formally requesting that the application be withdrawn.

A MOTION WAS MADE BY TILLOTSON, SECONDED BY INGLE TO ACCEPT THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST TO WITHDRAW THE APPLICATION, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Inglee, Chapman, Tillotson, Livengood, Kerins, Biddle, Speaker NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED B-2 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.97-83/COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO.97-33 (APPEAL) TAYLOR RESIDENCE): APPLICANT: Darrach Taylor APPELLANT: Naomi Cohen, et.al. (Huntington Harbour Residents) LOCATION: 16661 Wellington Drive (east of Peale Lane and north of Gilbert Drive) PROJECT PLANNER: Kim Klopfenstein PC Minutes — 4/28/98 2 (98PCM428) Conditional Use Permit No. 97-83 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-33 represent a request to construct an eleven foot (11) foot high combination retaining/block wall and wrought iron fence with eighteen (18) inch light fixtures above the wall. The new wall will have a combined height of twelve (12) feet and six (6) inches, in lieu of a maximum six (6) foot high wall within the rear yard setback area. The new wall will be 40 feet in length and it will accommodate a 400 square foot expansion of an existing at -grade pool deck. A new at -grade staircase will be located on the south side of the rear yard slope and two (2) combination retaining/wrought iron wing walls (returns) will be located on the north and south sides of the wall. APPEAL: Ms. Cohen et al (Gilbert Island Homeowners) appealed the Zoning Administrator's approval of the new combination wall to the Planning Commission for the following reasons: ♦ An engineer has determined that project will destabilize soil, endangering Cohen foundation (adjacent property at 3481 Gilbert Drive). ♦ The structure will be an eyesore which will obstruct view, air and light. ♦ Expanded pool use will add to existing noise problems which have been a nuisance. ♦ The new wall would devalue the property, degrade the greenbelt, and set a precedent for further encroachments on the slope. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommended approval of the project to the Zoning Administrator and is recommending that the Planning Commission approve the Conditional Use Permit and Coast Development Permit request based on the following reasons: ♦ The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan, incorporating a creative design that results in an attractive and viable residential area. ♦ The project is consistent with the objectives of the RL-CZ standards of the code in achieving a development that has an integrated design which properly adapts the development to the surrounding terrain and uses in the area. ♦ The project will not be detrimental to the general health, welfare and safety, nor detrimental to the value of the improvements in the area because since the combination block/retaining wall is designed to integrate with the existing neighborhood and the site is physically suitable for this type of development. ♦ The project provides good land planning techniques with maximum use of aesthetically pleasing types of landscaping, perimeter walls, site layout and design. ♦ The wall is consistent with other homes in the neighborhood and combination block/retaining walls have been approved for similarly zoned lots with sloping rear yards. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Rick Taylor, 16661 Wellington Drive, applicant, gave a brief history of the request and stated that they currently had Zoning Administrator approval and Huntington Harbour Property Owners' Association approval. He stated that the neighbors who are opposed to the request want to maintain the greenbelt area for their personal enjoyment only. PC Minutes — 4/28/98 3 (98PCM428) Jerome Lindsay, 3502 Gilbert Drive, stated that he had previously signed a petition in opposition to the request but wishes to retract that opposition and voice his support after hearing all the facts regarding the proposed project. Helen Shepherd, 16672 Wellington Drive, spoke in support of the request. Charlie Short, 16622 Wellington Circle, stated he supported the request if it were to be approved by a licensed structural engineer. Gerald Urner, 3962 Humboldt Drive, Huntington Harbour Property Owners' Association (HHPO), spoke in support of the request. He also stated that the HHPO is currently developing a set of standards for building on the slope area in the Harbour area. Fred Capper, 16702 Peale Lane, spoke in support of the request retracting his previous opposition. He stated it would be an enhancement to the neighborhood. Bob Maniaci, 16642 Somerset, spoke in opposition to the request stating it would negatively impact the adjacent neighbor. Michael Todaro, 17011 Beach Boulevard, spoke in opposition to the request stating the project would cause soil destabilization to the adjacent neighbors property, obstruct view, air and light, add noise impacts and set a precedent in the area for greenbelt encroachments. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. The Commission questioned staff about the soil stability if this project were to be constructed. Staff stated that prior to issuance of building permits the plans must be approved by a licensed structural engineer. Commissioner's Biddle and Chapman felt the impact to the adjacent neighbor would be too great so they did not support the request. A MOTION WAS MADE BY INGLEE, SECONDED BY TILLOTSON, TO UPHOLD THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S ACTION BY APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 97-83 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 97-33 WITH FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Inglee, Tillotson, Livengood, Kerins, Speaker NOES: Chapman, Biddle ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED 1 J PC Minutes — 4/28/98 4 (98PCM428) FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO.97-33: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 97-33 to permit the construction of an eight (8) foot high retaining/block wall with a three (3) foot high wrought iron fence and eighteen (8) inch light fixtures above the retaining/block wall for a combined height of twelve (12) feet and six (6) inches, in lieu of a six (6) foot high wall, within the rear setback area, approximately eight (8) feet from the rear property line. The new wall will be forty (40) feet in length and will extend (10) feet into the rear yard slope and will accommodate a 400 square foot expansion of an existing at -grade pool deck. The deck extension and wall will conform with the General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program. The proposed deck extension and wall will not impact public views or access to coastal resources as none exist at the site. 2. Coastal Development Permit No. 97-33 is consistent with the requirements of the CZ Overlay District, the base zoning district, as well as other provisions of the Municipal Code applicable to the property. The proposed development will conform with all applicable City Codes as allowed by the conditional use permit. 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 currently exist at the site. 4. The proposed wall conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. The development will not adversely impact public views or public access. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.97-83: Conditional Use Permit No. 97-83 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of an eight (8) foot high retaining/block wall with a three (3) foot high wrought iron fence and light fixtures above the retaining/block wall for a combined height of twelve (12) feet and six (6) inches, in lieu of a six (6) foot high wall, within the rear setback area, approximately eight (8) feet from the rear property. The new wall will be forty (40) feet in length and will extend (10) feet into the rear yard slope and will accommodate a 400 square foot expansion of an existing at -grade pool deck. The deck extension and wall will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity nor detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood since the proposed wall is designed to integrate with the existing neighborhood and the site is physically suitable for this type of development. 2. The deck and retaining/blockwall located within the rear yard setback will be compatible with surrounding uses because there are decks and walls in similar locations on adjacent properties. Furthermore, the retaining/blockwall will be stuccoed to match the residence and provided with bermed landscaping to improve the aesthetics of the street. 3. The proposed combination block/retaining wall 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. The structure will be in conformance with the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance with the approval of the conditional use permit. PC Minutes — 4/28/98 5 (98PCM428) 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 Low Density Residential on the subject property.

B-3 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 97-4/ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 97-21/LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO. 97-4/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 97-56/NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 97-16 (SEACLIFF VILLAGE): APPLICANT: Jim Yoder, Shea Vickers Development LOCATION: 2124 Main Street (north of Yorktown Avenue, between Goldenwest and Main Streets) PROJECT PLANNER: Mary Beth Broeren General Plan Amendment No. 97-4 and Zoning Text Amendment No. 97-2 represent a request by Shea Vickers Development, LLC to amend the General Plan (Table LU-4 for Subarea 7C and the Land Use Map) and the Holly Seacliff Specific Plan to reflect a change in the Permitted Uses and Density/Intensity provisions and to redesignate approximately four acres of land general planned for Industrial to Mixed Use Horizontal. Permitted Uses would be expanded to include limited public uses (i.e., senior care facilities, day care and churches). Density/Intensity would be changed to: increase the retail square footage from 200,000 to 260,000 sq. ft., decrease the number of residential units from 475 to 165 and change the 100,000 sq. ft. allowance for office commercial to a floor area ratio of 0.35 for commercial and limited public uses. Conditional Use Permit No. 97-56 represents a request to master plan the mixed use site including the four acres currently designated as Industrial for construction of a shopping center and future residential and commercial/mixed uses. The shopping center contains 259,051 sq. ft. and consists of various building components. The applicant requests a nine percent (133 parking stalls) reduction in parking, allowing 1,314 parking stalls in lieu of 1,447, for the shopping center site due to the joint use nature of the project. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the applicant's request, as modified by conditions of approval, for the following reasons: + The industrial property of Holly Seacliff is generally surrounded by residential uses. The redesignation of the four acres to mixed use is compatible with the surrounding area. + The subject parcels do not offer a superior set of characteristics for most types of industrial development and a mixed use project will likely be more fiscally beneficial to the city. PC Minutes — 4/28/98 8 (98PCM428) I * The subject parcels represent a small percentage of the' industrial property in Holly Seacliff and an insignificant percentage of that in the -city as a Whole. * "Limited Public Uses" will be compatible with surrounding uses and the shopping center. They will complement and support the commercial center and are consistent with General Plan goals. * The proposed limits of 260,000 square feet of retail, 165 residential units and a FAR of 0.35 for Office and Limited Public Uses will not create impacts beyond those that might occur if the site were developed under the current maximums. * The proposed limits improve the fiscal benefits of the project by increasing the potential for taxable sales and reducing service costs. * The proposed uses of shopping center, residential and other commercial/mixed use are compatible and can be integrated with adequate buffers and amenities. + The proposed shopping center site plan is consistent with the General Plan and complies with all code requirements of the Holly Seacliff Specific Plan, with the exception of the reduction in parking. * The parking reduction will not result in an insufficient supply of parking because the project is joint use, the two major anchors have a significant amount of storage space that does not require as much parking as the sales area and some of the center will be occupied by office uses which require less parking. * Adequate on -site and off -site circulation is provided, and the applicant has provided sufficient opportunities for pedestrian access and circulation. * The building layout and architecture are integrated and aesthetically attractive. With minor modifications to the project, per recommended conditions of approval, the project will be consistent with City goals and objectives. * The potential environmental impacts of the project have been evaluated in Negative Declaration No. 97-16 and mitigation measures will reduce impacts to a level of less than significant. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Jack Godard, Jim Yoder, Geoff Reeslund, Ron Metzler and Dick Harlow, 655 Brea Canyon Road, Walnut, representing applicant made ajoint presentation. They described the existing center, the proposed center and its benefit to the community. They also discussed the architectural design features, compatibility with surrounding uses and the pedestrian linkages. The representatives stated that they concurred with all but 10 of staff s recommended conditions and those were outlined in a report submitted to staff and the Commission. Jeff Metzel, 19391 Shady Harbor Circle, Huntington Seacliff Homeowners Association, stated that he had reviewed the negative declaration and found it to be deficient in a number of areas. He stated that he was concerned about fast food drive-thru uses on Goldenwest, that the entrance to the fast food drive-thru uses should be on the interior of the center only, the increased traffic impacts warrant an overall traffic analyses and the developers do not seem to be taking care of the current tenants. PC Minutes — 4/28/98 9 (98PCM428) Karen Jackle, 6702 Lawn Haven Drive, Seacliff Homeowners Association, spoke in opposition to the granting of the conditional use permit and did not think that all impacts had been fully explored. Reverend Peggy Price, 2205 Main Street, suite 23, Church of Religious Science, stated that their church currently located in the center has no where to relocate and requested the Planning Commission take into account the existing tenants and consider interim plans or relocation. Jim Staunton, 1905 Main Street, Principal Huntington Beach High School, stated concern with the proposed fast food restaurants on Yorktown Avenue. He stated they will become an attractive nuisance to the High School kids. He stated for safety and security reasons the proposed developers could mitigate some of these problems by contributing towards building a fence to enclose the school grounds. Patti Young, 2090 Ocean Way, Laguna Beach, Patti's Preschool, stated that they offer a high quality day care facility. They wish to continue operation during and after construction within the center. She requested that the city make provisions to allow for the day care to operate during the interim with a temporary building on -site, and operate after construction in the new center without having to obtain more permits. Greg Peterson, 17311 Norcon Circle, spoke in support of allowing Patti's Preschool to continue operation during and after construction of the proposed project. Tom De Guelle, 8192 Kingfisher, FANS, spoke in support of the proposed request. Dale E.

However, he stated that the 20-day review period was somewhat odd and no public meetings were held prior to this. The Board is recommending another 30-day review period and some public meetings. Carole Ann Wall, 8215 Wallum, FANS, spoke in support of the proposed request. Bob Traver, 7402 Coho Drive, # 105, FANS, stated concern that the church would not be relocated in the new center. Ryan Rieches, 5981 Engineer Drive, FANS, spoke in support of the request.

Nick Tomaino, 6812 Scenic Bay Lane, Huntington Seacliff Homeowners Association, stated that the fast food drive-thru uses should be on the interior of the center only, the increased traffic impacts warrant an overall traffic analyses and the developers do not seem to be taking care of the current tenants. Chu Ung, 8242 Tyler Circle, spoke in support of the proposed request, but stated concern that no provisions for the interim and the future were being made for the current tenants. Lou Manoune, 19821 Ocean Bluff, Huntington Seacliff Homeowners Association, spoke in support of the request but urged the Commission to prepare a transition process convenient for the store owners and the developer. He also stated that he feels there is inadequate pedestrian access from the proposed senior care center to the center and wants to see information on the total site. Sandra Ewers, 7742 Alhambra, shopping center tenant, stated that many of the center tenants could not move and continue to stay in business. She stated the developers have not yet discussed relocation with her. Jim Larkin, 18351 Beach Boulevard, FANS, stated that the four (4) acre industrial area should be rezoned to residential area. Robert Weis, 7532 Seaspring, spoke in support of allowing Patti's Preschool to continue operation during and after construction of the proposed project. Terry Torline, 423-22 d Street, spoke in support of the proposed request, but stated concern that no provisions for the interim and the future were being made for the current tenants. Jim Martin, 7542 Taylor, spoke in support of the request but stated concern that the Industrial zone change would decrease the city's industrial base.
