Fyffe, 22362 Wallingford Lane, Huntington Beach, CA 92646, and Edward Clark, 22372 Wallingford Lane, Huntington Beach, CA 92646 REQUEST: To adjust the lot lines between three existing residential properties. LOCATION: 22362 and 22372 Wallingford Lane (east of the intersection of Bushard and Brookhurst) PROJECT PLANNER: Wendy Bounds Wendy Bounds, Staff Planner, displayed site plans stating that the request is to adjust the property lines between three existing residential lots. Staff stated that the subject sites are located in a residential district and are developed with one dwelling unit each. The project will result in two residential lots and will meet all requirements outlined in the low -density residential zoning district. The adjusted lot lines will not create any conflict with existing structures on the site, and the dwelling units per site will not change. Based on the findings for the lot line adjustment, Staff recommends approval of the project with the recommended conditions. Zoning Administrator, Mary Beth Broeren, questioned Staff on the existing wall and right-of-way. Staff displayed pictures stating the wall already exists and the right-of-way is part of the parcel. Edward Clark, 22372 Wallingford Lane, property owner, stated that nothing was changing other than the actual splitting of the lot. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST. Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, stated she would change Item No.1 in the Findings by changing the wording of "three existing parcels" to "the existing parcels" and to add that there are two units on the properties. LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT NO.99-1 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING MODIFIED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. SHE STATED THAT THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR CAN BE APPEALED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITHIN TEN (10) CALENDAR DAYS. FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEOA: The Zoning Administrator 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 section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines, because the proposal is a minor lot line adjustment which will not result in the creation of a new parcel. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT NO.99-1: The granting of Lot Line Adjustment No. 99-1 for the adjustment of lot lines between the existing parcels will not create any additional parcels or building sites. There are two existing residential units which will be unaffected by the lot line adjustment. The adjustment of lot lines will result in two residential properties. 2. The resulting parcels from the lot line adjustment will conform to Titles 20-24 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance because the adjusted lots comply with the requirements for minimum area, width, frontage, setbacks, and site coverage. 3. The lot line adjustment will not sever any existing structure(s) on any of the parcels. The proposed lot lines do not span the existing residences and block walls. 4. The lot line adjustment will not allow a greater number of dwelling units than allowed prior to the adjustment. The subject lots are zoned for single family residential use, allowing one unit per lot, and will remain so after the recordation of the lot line adjustment. 5. A plat map showing the lot line adjustment has been prepared and approved and will be filed in accordance with the provisions of Section 253.24. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL — LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT NO.99-1: 1.
