THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.98-60 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND MODIFIED 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.98-60:
l . Conditional Use Permit No. 98-60 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the 50
inch high fence in lieu of 42 inches 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, since the fence will be redesigned to integrate with the existing neighborhood.
The open design of the fence will not create any sight distance problems and the site is physically
suitable for the type of development.
2. The 50 inch high fence in lieu of 42 inches will be compatible with surrounding uses, because
there are other walls and fences of similar design and height in similar locations on other
properties in the area. The subject lot is configured with a garage setback of 7 1/2 feet and the
front entrance of the residence has a setback of approximately 22 feet. As designed, the fence will
not create a "box like" structure in the front yard setback or dominate the front yard setback.
3. The fence 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
approval of the conditional use permit. 0

REQUEST: To permit a covered carport with eaves a distance of five (5) feet from the

setback and to permit a covered porch with eaves a distance of ten (10)
feet, six (6) inches from the front property line in -lieu of the required 15
foot front yard setback.
LOCATION: 304 Springfield Avenue, (Northwest corner of Springfield Avenue and Pine

PROJECT PLANNER: Bob Goldin
•
Bob Goldin, Staff Planner, displayed project plans and photographs stating the purpose, location and •
zoning of the requested project. Staff stated that the item was continued from the December 2, 1998,
meeting in order to allow the applicant time to redesign the proposed project to comply with code,

ZA Minutes — 12/09/98 4 (98zm1209)
Staff presented a review of the applicant's revised plans and recommended approval of the request
based upon the findings and subject to the conditions as outlined in the staff report. Staff
recommended modifying Finding No. 1 to reflect an encroachment of five (5) feet.
Herb Fauland, Zoning Administrator, asked staff if any comments were received. Staff stated that a
neighbor expressed concern regarding a storage unit in the rear yard. Discussion ensued concerning
the foregoing and the property owner stated that the storage unit will be moved further into the
interior of the yard.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Harry Monck, 303 Cleveland Drive, applicant, spoke in favor of the proposed project and urged the
Zoning Administrator's approval.
Jeanne Zenk, 304 Springfield Avenue, property owner, stated that they were anxious to start the
project and requested approval from the Zoning Administrator.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
]REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mr. Fauland confirmed with staff that the turning radius and axis for the proposed carport would be
adequate.
Mr. Fauland stated that based upon the revisions submitted by the applicant, the proposed project is
consistent with other variances that have been granted in the area. He stated that the suggested
findings and conditions for approval are justified.
VARIANCE NO.98-21 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH
THE FOLLOWING MODIFIED 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 - VARIANCE NO.98-21:
1. The granting of Variance No. 98-21 to permit a new covered carport with eaves a distance of five
(5) feet in -lieu of the required ten (10) foot street side yard setback and to permit a covered porch
with eaves a distance of ten (10) feet, six (6) inches in -lieu of the required 15 foot front yard
setback will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other
properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. Other properties in the
immediate area have reduced setbacks for side and front yards, including 318 Springfield Street,
402 Springdale Street and 202 Springdale Street. In addition, there have been variances granted
throughout this portion of the City for similarly zoned properties to reduce the front and side
setbacks, including 1733 Main, 1828 Park and 1738 Park Streets. The front porch and carport are
• designed to integrate with the existing neighborhood, do not result in additional square footage to
the structure and will not create any sight distance problems. The site is physically suitable for the
type of development.
ZA Minutes — 12/09/98 5 (98=1209)
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to is
the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under
identical zone classification. The lot is located on a corner and only one of two lots in the vicinity
with no alley access. The existing driveway is 15 feet in length which restricts the owner's ability
to park in their driveway without overhanging the sidewalk
3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights. The subject property is developed on a corner lot with a single story home. The
side yard encroachment being a covered carport is open on three sides and does not result in any
additional habitable square footage for the property owner. The carport encroaches less than that
permitted for a covered patio. The variance request would allow the property owner to provide
more off street parking and better use of his residence in scale with the surrounding single story
homes in the area. The construction of the carport will provide a fully functional off street parking
space that will not overhang the sidewalk. The carport will be screened from view by fencing and
landscaping.
4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
property in the same zone classification. The covered carport and front porch area will be
architecturally compatible with the existing home. Since the encroachments are located on an
exterior side yard and front yard, they would not abut any other residences or create any adverse
impacts to the aesthetics of the area. Furthermore, the covered car port and front porch will not
impact the views or privacy of the surrounding properties within the neighborhood, since the
carport will be screened by an existing 6'-0" high fence. The front yard setback area will exceed •
the 40% landscape requirement of the HBZSO. The front porch area will result in an
encroachment of one (1) foot six (6) inches beyond what is permitted by code for eaves for the
purpose of improving the architectural interest. The covered front porch contains no habitable
square footage. As designed, the front porch and carport will not create "box like" structures in
the front yard setback or dominate the front yard setback.
5. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the
Land Use Element designation of Low Density Residential on the subject property and the
covered car port and front porch will not alter the existing use of the site. In addition, the variance
is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan:
a. Ensure that structures and sites are designed and constructed to maintain their long term
quality (LU 4.2).
b. The structures be designed to avoid undifferentiated "box like" structures (LU 9.1.2.a).
c. The structure be designed to avoid building materials, colors and construction elements that
visually dominate their settings and contract significantly with the character of the
neighborhood (LU 9.1.2.b).
