B-1 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.98-79 (THE LEARNING CIRCLE):
APPLICANT: Judith Coglianese & Kellie Gillespie
LOCATION: 16692 Landau Lane (at its intersection with Royal Drive)
PROJECT
PLANNER: Ricky Ramos
Conditional Use Permit No. 98-79 represents a request by Judith Coglianese and Kellie Gillespie
to operate a day care program within the five classrooms in building no. 3 together with an
ancillary office in building no. 4 of the Pleasant View School. The proposal also includes
allowing up to 20 percent compact parking spaces with the re -striping of the existing parking lot.
The requested day care use should be approved because there are already three day care/school
uses at this site and this is simply an extension of these uses which are similar to the intended
and historic use of the school. The request complies with zoning requirements as well as
General Plan goals, policies, and objectives and provides a service needed by area residents. The
request to permit up to 20 percent compact parking is recommended for approval because it
allows for an efficient parking layout and an increase in the amount of on -site parking.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the project based on the following:
• It conforms to the Land Use Element designation of Public which permits the proposed use.
It is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan.
• The Pleasant View school already has three existing day care/school uses and the Learning
Circle will be an extension of these uses.
• Day care programs are similar to the intended and historic use of the property as an
elementary school and will be compatible with the area.
• Day care facilities are commonly found within residential areas to serve the needs of
residents.
• The use of compact parking will allow for a more efficient parking layout and an increase in
the amount of parking provided.
The Commission asked staff what the maximum occupancy would be if the site were to return to
a regular school. Staff stated that the maximum enrolled students would be 400.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
THERE WERE NO PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
The Commission discussed parking issues and the incorporation of a condition to require staff to
park on -site. They also requested a six (6) month review of the parking plan.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY LIVENGOOD, SECONDED BY ]KERINS, TO APPROVE
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.98-79 WITH FINDINGS AND MODIFIED
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES:
Kerins, Chapman, Speaker, Biddle, Livengood, Mandic
NOES:

ABSTAIN:
None
MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.98-79:
Conditional Use Permit No. 98-79 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the
Learning Circle day care facility serving a maximum of 60 children within the five
classrooms in building no. 3, an ancillary office within building no. 4, and the use of up to 20
percent compact parking (seven of the total 35 spaces) 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 school site already has three existing
day care/school uses. The Learning Circle will be an extension of these existing uses. The
use of up to 20 percent compact parking will allow for an increase in the amount of parking
which will help avoid impacts to street parking in the area.
PC Minutes — 5/27/99 2 (99PCM427)
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because the proposed
day care use is similar to the intended and historic use of the property as an elementary
school. Day care facilities are commonly found within residential areas to serve the needs of
area residents. The use of compact parking spade Is will allow for a more efficient parking
layout.
3. The proposed daycare facility 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 use is allowed subject to approval of a conditional use permit.
Adequate parking will be provided with the proposed re -striping of the existing parking lot
which incorporates up to 20 percent compact parking as allowed by code subject to approval
by the Planning Commission.
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 which
permits schools and similar uses. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals,
policies, and objectives of the General Plan:
a. Accommodate existing uses and new development in accordance with the Land Use and
Density Schedules (LU 7.1.1)
b. Provide for the inclusion of recreational, institutional, religious, educational and service
uses that support resident needs within residential neighborhoods (LU 9.4).
c. Allow for the continuation of existing and development of new child, adult, and senior
adult daycare facilities in any land use zone where they are compatible with adjacent uses
and subject to City review and approval (LU 13.1.3).
d. Encourage surplus schools and other public properties to be made available first for other
public purposes, such as parks, open space, adult or childcare, and secondarily for reuse
for private purposes and/or other land uses and development (LU 13.1.6).
FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEOA:
The Planning Commission 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 15301, Class 1 of the CEQA Guidelines, because it involves only
the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures
involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that previously existing.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.98-79:
1. The site plan received and dated October 15, 1998, floor plans received and dated December

B-2a CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO 98-62 (PERFORMANCE SALES -PHASE 1):
APPLICANT: Corrie Kates
LOCATION: 19501 Beach Boulevard (southwest corner of Beach Boulevard and
Yorktown Avenue)
PROJECT
PLANNER: Joe Thompson
Conditional Use Permit No. 98-62 represents a request by Mehdi Bolouriad to permit
construction of a new automobile sales building. The proposed two (2) story 2,437 square foot
building includes 850 square feet of interior sales space, 122 square feet of office space, 1,250
square feet of storage space on the second story, and exterior parking for 19 display vehicles and
14 customer / sales staff on an 18,200 square foot lot. This conditional use permit is being
processed in conjunction with Conditional Use Permit No. 98-85 (19475 Beach Blvd.) and will
be presented concurrently. The applicant requests to operate the car sales lot from two separate
properties located on the northwest and southwest corners of Beach Boulevard and Yorktown
Avenue.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of Conditional Use Permit No. 98-62 for the following reasons:
• The project is inconsistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan, which
encourages clustering of new and existing automobile dealerships within a defined
automobile district.
Because the proposed dealership is divided into two (2) separate locations, undue risk is
suffered by customers and the dealership sales -staff when crossing Yorktown Avenue to
access additional vehicles being offered for sale.
• The site does not have adequate square footage to accommodate the vehicle delivery truck,
which must off-load vehicles onto the Yorktown Avenue median.
• Minimum required drive aisle width has not been provided.

PC Minutes — 5/27/99 6 (99PCM427)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of Conditional Use Permit No., 98-85 for the following reasons:
• The project is inconsistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan, which
encourages clustering of new and existing automobile dealerships within a defined
automobile district.
• Because the proposed dealership is divided into two (2) separate locations, undue risk is
suffered by customers and the dealership sales staff when crossing Yorktown Avenue to

• The site does not have adequate square footage to accommodate the vehicle delivery truck,
which must off-load vehicles onto the Yorktown Avenue median..
Items B-2a and B-2b were presented concurrently. Commissioner Laird arrived at the meeting
mid -way through the presentation of this request and therefore abstained from taking action on the
proposed requests.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Corrie Kates, 117'/z-28 h Street, Newport Beach, applicant, gave a history of design alternatives
and site conditions. He stated that they would like to request that the Phase I and Phase II stages
be reversed. He also stated that the property owner's are in favor of the proposed request.
The Commissioners asked Mr. Kates and staff if the gas tanks from the previous use have been
removed and what mechanical work will be done on the vehicles. Staff stated that the gas tanks in
the Phase I area have been removed, but they do not know about the tanks in the Phase II area.
Mr. Kates stated that only mechanical work performed would be accessory installation (i.e., radios,
televisions, tires).
Steve Schumm, 19471 Beach Boulevard, commercial center tenant, spoke in opposition to the
proposed request. His concerns include the delivery vehicle being parked on the Yorktown
Avenue median and impacting traffic, jay walking between the two (2) sites, the cars blocking
visibility of the existing businesses, two (2) story design and impacts on current parking, noise and
aesthetic of the proposed buildings.
Leslie Zahedi, 727 Yorktown Avenue, owner Huntington Suites Motel, spoke in opposition to the
proposed request. His concerns included the noise impacts, inadequate parking and the size of the
proposed building.
Mehdi Bolourinad, 19475 Beach Boulevard, business owner, stated that he would take
responsibility for the problems that would or have occurred from his business and rectify them.
Mr. Bolourinad stated that once the facility is built they will have a place to unload the cars or they
can arrange for off -site delivery. He also stated that he currently does not park in the other
businesses parking lots, his employees do not jay walk between the two (2) sites and the proposed
request would improve the area.
The Commission asked Mr. Bolourinad the purpose of the trailer currently on -site. Mr. Bolourinad
stated that it was for a night watchman as they had problems with theft.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
PC Minutes — 5/27/99 7 (99PCM427)
The Commission felt that the proposed site was not the place for a growing successful business
like the applicant seems to have. They felt another area would be better suited for this proposed
use with less impacts to the surrounding areas.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY BIDDLE, SECONDED BY KERINS, TO DENY
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.98-62 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 98-85
WITH FINDINGS FOR DENIAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Kerins, Chapman, Speaker, Biddle, Livengood, Mandic
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: Laird
MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.98-62:
1. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the automobile sales lot with parking
for nineteen (19) display vehicles in conjunction of a 2,437 square foot two-story
building will be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing to
the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the
neighborhood. The automobile sales lot is divided into two (2) separate locations
requiring customers to cross Yorktown Avenue to get from one location to the other.
Further, due to the height of 27 feet for the proposed building and the high profile
(seven (7) feet) feet of the types of vehicles that are being sold, visibility to the retail
center located directly behind the subject site will be greatly reduced.
2. Conditional Use Permit No. 98-62 for the establishment of the automobile sales lot
will not be compatible with surrounding uses due to the increase in height of the
proposed building and high profile nature of the vehicles being offered for sale. The
intent of the General Plan is to locate automobile dealerships further north along
Beach Boulevard and to the north side of Warner Avenue. At its present location, the
car lot has limited points of ingress and egress for customers, vehicles being test
driven, and vehicles being delivered from other locations. Currently, the automobile
delivery truck must park on the Yorktown Avenue painted median to off-load vehicles
for the subject site.
3. The proposed automobile *sales lot will not comply with the provisions of the base
district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) and any specific condition required for
the proposed use in the district in which it would be located. The proposed drive aisle
width does not meet the minimum requirements as stated in the HBZSO.
4. The granting of the conditional use permit for the proposed automobile sales will
adversely affect the General Plan. It is not consistent with the Land Use Element
designation of CG (Commercial General) on the subject property. In addition, it is
inconsistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan:
a. (LU 8.1.1) Create a network of interrelated activity centers and corridors through
the use of distinct functional roles, activities, and/or through the form and scale of
development.
b. (LU 15.4) Encourage the development of an automobile district that consolidates
existing and accommodates additional automobile dealerships.
c. (CE 2.3.1) Require development projects to mitigate off -site traffic impacts and
pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular conflicts to the maximum extent feasible.
PC Minutes — 5/27/99 8 (99PCM427)
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.98-85:
1. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the automobile sales lot with parking for seventeen
(17) display vehicles in conjunction'of a,1;741 square foot two-story building will 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 automobile sales lot is divided into two (2)
separate locations requiring customers to cross Yorktown Avenue to get from one location to the
other.
2. Conditional Use Permit No. 98-85 for the establishment of the automobile sales lot will not be

applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance
(HBZSO) and any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would
be located. Setbacks, building height, drive aisle width, and other minimum requirements of the
HBZSO have been provided
4. The granting of the conditional use permit for the proposed automobile sales will adversely affect
the General Plan. It is not consistent with the Land Use Element designation of CG (Commercial
General) on the subject property. In addition, it is inconsistent with the following goals and policies
of the General Plan:

B-3 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 15734/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.98-49/
COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO.98-17 (SANDOVER) (CONTINUED
FROM THE APRIL 13,1999 MEETING):
APPLICANT: Hearthside Homes, Inc., c/o Ed Mountford
LOCATION: Southwest corner of Bolsa Chica Street and Los Patos Avenue.
PROJECT
PLANNER: Wayne Carvalho
Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49, and Coastal Development
Permit No. 98-17 represent a request by Hearthside Homes, Inc. to subdivide approximately five
(5) net acres for the construction of 16 single family residences. The request includes allowing
residential building heights of up to 32 feet, 2 inches (measured from building pad to roof peak)
and increased perimeter wall heights. ,
PC Minutes — 5/27/99 9 (99PCM427)
At the April 13, 1999 Planning Commission meeting, 16 people spoke on the proposed
subdivision. Issues raised included inadequate environmental review, impacts to biological and
archeological resources, public services and utilities, and potential impacts resulting from soil
conditions and drainage on the site. Following the public testimony, a motion to approve
Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 with revised findings and mitigation measures
(Attachment No. 2) passed on a 4-2 vote, with one commissioner absent. A motion to approve
the tentative tract map, conditional use permit, and coastal development permit failed due to a 3-
3 tie vote resulting in an automatic continuance to the April 27, 1999 meeting. A Notice of
Determination on the mitigated negative declaration was sent to the Orange County Clerk for
posting. On April 21, 1999, an appeal was filed by the Bolsa Chica Land Trust citing that an
environmental impact report should be prepared for the project based on inadequate
studies/information on the impacts to archeological and biological resources. The item will be
scheduled before the City Council at one of their upcoming meetings.
The suggested findings and conditions of approval for the project have been modified to reflect
the approved mitigation measures and the Planning Commission discussion at the last meeting.
The revisions, which pertain to the submittal of archeological reports/surveys, and restrictions on
perimeter wall heights to six (6) feet, have been incorporated into the conditions of approval in
legislative draft form. In addition, the Bolsa Chica Street extension condition has been modified
to require full street improvements adjacent to the tract. The Subdivision Committee has
recommended a 24 foot wide interim street section which is also included for Planning
Commission consideration.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff maintains a recommendation for approval based on the project's consistency with the Low
Density Residential Land Use designation in the General Plan and zoning regulations,
compatibility with the existing residential uses across Los Patos Avenue and proposed land uses
on the mesa (County of Orange). In addition, with implementation of the approved mitigation
measures and recommended conditions, the development will not have a negative impact on the
environment and the sensitive environmental resources in the Bolsa Chica.
Commissioner Mandic stated that she had viewed the videotape of the April 13, 1999 meeting
and was prepared to take action on the request.
The Commission discussed procedures/processes that would notify future residents of the animal
regulations contained in the mitigated negative declaration. They suggested the addition of a
condition that would require the developer to pay the city for signs and installation costs that
would identify the presence of sensitive resource areas in the area and local ordinances requiring
confinement of pets.
The Commission also discussed saving the eucalyptus trees along the proposed Bolsa Chica
street extension, with a report to be completed by a certified arborist, identifying the health of
each tree and recommendations to improve the health and ultimate life of those trees.
The Commission stated that the Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11, which was approved
and certified at the April 13, 1999 meeting, was under appeal to the City Council. They asked
legal counsel what would happen if this request was approved and the appeal on the negative
declaration was upheld. Paul-D'Alessandro, Deputy City Attorney, stated the project would be
void.
PC Minutes — 5/27/99 10 (99PCM427)
.y
The majority of the Commission stated that the property owner has rights and as long as the
request conforms with the City's General Plan and land use regulations they should support the
request. Commissioner Kerins stated he.mould not be supporting the request because he feels it
is "piece meal" development.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY LAIRD, SECONDED BY SPEAKER, TO APPROVE
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO.15734, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.98-49 AND
COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO.98-17 WITH FINDINGS AND MODIFIED
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Laird, Chapman, Speaker, Biddle, Livengood, Mandic
NOES: Kerins
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO.15734:
1. Tentative Tract Map No. 15734 for an approximate five (5) net acre residential subdivision
for 16 single family detached residences is consistent with the General Plan Land Use
Element designation of Low Density Residential on the subject property and the applicable
provisions of HBZSO. The proposed single family residential subdivision is a permitted use.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The project's density
is 3.4 units per net acre (excluding the Bolsa Chica Street extension) which is within the
allowable density for Low Density Residential (max. 7 units per net acre). The project site is
relatively flat and is compatible with the surrounding low density residential uses.
3. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements will not cause serious health
problems or substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat. The proposed project was evaluated under Mitigated Negative
Declaration No. 98-11 which identified all potential environmental impacts. As a result, the
project will comply with appropriate mitigation measures.
4. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with public or
private easements. The subdivision will provide all necessary'easements and will not affect
any existing easements. The project is designed to provide future access to the proposed
development on the Bolsa Chica mesa through Bolsa Chica Street south of the subdivision.
Interior streets are also designed to link to the proposed interior streets in the County area.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.98-49:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the 16
unit single family residential subdivision, which includes building heights of up to 32 feet, 2
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.
The project is consistent with the character of the low density residential uses in the area.
The increased roof peak heights will provide for enhanced architectural design while
complying with the maximum building height of 35 feet.
PC Minutes — 5/27/99 11 (99PCM427)
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding residential uses as well as
the proposed residential uses. The proposed grading, site layout and design of the 16 unit
single family residential subdivision properly adapts the proposed structures to streets,
driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner. Furthermore, the
project is designed to either remain as a 16 unit project or incorporate into a future master
plan community located within the County of Orange's jurisdiction.
The proposed 16 unit single family residential subdivision 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 proposed residential subdivision complies
will all code provisions, including lot size, setbacks, density, landscaping and parking. The
increased building heights are permitted subject to approval of a conditional use permit. No
variances are proposed as part of this request.
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. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General
Plan:
a. . Provide for the timing of residential, commercial and industrial development
coincident with the availability of adequate market demand to ensure economic vitality.
(LU 1.1)
b. Accommodate the development of single family residential units in areas designated
by the Land Use Plan Map, as stipulated by the Land Use and Density Schedule. (LU
9.1.1)
C. Require and single family residential units be designed to convey a high level of
quality and character considering the following guidelines:
1) Modulate and articulate building elevation, facades, and masses (avoiding
undifferentiated "box -like" structures).
2) Encourage innovative and creative design concepts.
3) Locate and design garages so that they do not dominate the street frontage. (LU 9.1.2)
d. Require that the design of new subdivisions consider the following:
1) Establish a continuous network of sidewalks, bicycle and pedestrian paths, and other
elements that link all community areas and provide linkages to land uses in adjacent
areas.
2) Site and design of units and incorporate elements, such as porches, that emphasize
front yards as an activity area and "outdoor living room," by locating garages in the
rear or side yards. (LU 9.3.2) -
e. Require that new development be designed to consider coastal views in its massing,
height, and site orientation. (UD 2.1.1)
f. Require that future development be designed and sited to maintain the natural

The building architecture and floor plan layout of the proposed homes offer a unique and
creative design alternative consistent with the goals and policies noted above. The homes are
designed with porches and outdoor living areas, and garages to the rear or separated by living
area so not to dominate the street frontage. In addition, the subdivision layout is designed to
provide for the necessary easements and improvements without impacting adjacent uses.
The subdivision is designed to link with streets, sidewalks, and bicycle/pedestrian paths that
are either existing or proposed in the area
