PROJECT
PLANNER: Peter Vanek
Transmitted for Planning Commission consideration and recommendation to the City Council is
Zoning Text Amendment No. 98-4, a request by the City of Huntington Beach to amend the
Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP) to permit the consumption of alcoholic beverages in
conjunction with outdoor dining on public property.
This item was continued from the February 9, 1999 meeting to allow time for the Planning
Commission to establish a sub -committee to work with staff in further refining the ordinance.
The Planning Commission established a sub -committee consisting of three Commissioners that
has met with staff on several occasions over the past three months, including a walking tour of
the downtown area and the existing outdoor dining establishments. A continuance was requested
by the Commission following a study session on the item at the April 27, 1999 meeting, as the
subcommittee required additional time to formulate their recommendation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission continue Zoning Text Amendment No. 98-4 to the
May 25, 1999 meeting

Street
PROTECT
PLANNER: Wayne Carvalho
Tentative Tract Map No. 15343, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-64, and Variance No. 98-19
represent a request by BB Hamptons Partners, LLC, to subdivide 4.6 net acres for the
construction of 13 single family residences. The request includes developing a lot with greater
than a three (3) foot grade differential between the high point and low point on the site, and
variances to reduced project size of five (5) acres in lieu of minimum 10 gross acres, reduced
front building setbacks on four (4) lots, reduced rear building setbacks on two (2) lots, and to
exceed the maximum two foot cut and fill grading limitation on nine (9) lots. The project is
designed to be compatible with the prior phases of the Hamptons master plan which is located
directly west and north of the site. The project will result in the build out of the remaining parcel
at the south west quadrant of the Ellis Goldenwest Specific Plan area, while completing the
equestrian trail improvements adjacent to the tract.
PC Minutes — 5/11/99 2 (99PCM511)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff supports the proposed subdivision and variances for the following reasons:
• The proposed single family residential subdivision is consistent with the goals and objectives
of the General Plan and Ellis Goldenwest Specific Plan.
• The design of the homes will be compatible with the adjacent Hamptons residences and
elementary school.
• The reduced setbacks, as recommended by staff, will not adversely impact the adjacent
properties or property values, and will be compatible with the initial phase of the Hamptons
master plan.
• Exceeding the cut and fill restriction will allow for proper drainage, without negatively
impacting the surrounding neighborhood.
• The project will comply with the mitigation measures identified in Environmental Impact
Report No. 88-2.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Tom Zanic, 520 Broadway, applicant, gave a brief history of the site. He also stated that he will
accept the Commission's decision regarding the pedestrian access to the school site at the
northeast corner of the tract.
Jim Dello Russo, 18815 Rockinghorse Lane, Hampton's Homeowners Association, stated the
Association has concerns regarding the horse trail crossing the pedestrian paths, reimbursement
for the applicant's billboard on their property, the change in grading and its impact to drainage
and no future plans to gate the area. He also suggested that a homeowners planning committee
be established to work out problems in the development.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
The Commission discussed the height of the wall with the berming, surrounding neighborhood's
participation in the planning process and drainage issues.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY LIVENGOOD, SECONDED BY KERINS, TO APPROVE
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO.15343, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.98-64 AND
VARIANCE NO.98-19 WITH FINDINGS AND MODIFIED CONDITIONS OF
APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:

MOTION PASSED
PC Minutes — 5/11/99 3 (99PCM511)
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 15343:
1. Tentative Tract Map No. 15343 for the subdivision of 4.6 acres to construct 13 single family
residences is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element designation of Low Density
Residential on the subject property, the Ellis Goldenwest Specific Plan, and other applicable
provisions of this Code except for any variances approved concurrently with this application.
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 2.8 units per acre which is within the allowable density for Low Density Residential (max.
3 units per net acre). The project site will require some grading and is compatible with
surrounding Low Density Residential uses. The project will complete development of the
southwest quadrant of the Ellis Goldenwest quartersection.
3. The design of the subdivision or 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 project site was previously evaluated under Environmental
Impact Report No. 88-2 and will comply with appropriate mitigation measures.
4. The design of the subdivision and 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 development will include the construction of public equestrian
trail easements along the south and northeast perimeter of the tract.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.98-64:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 98-64 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the 13
unit single family residential subdivision, including the development on a parcel with greater
than a three (3) foot grade differential between the high and low points, 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 area. The grading of the master plan will allow for
proper drainage within the tract without impacting adjacent properties or streets.
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because the design and
architecture of the proposed homes, equestrian improvements, street sections and circulation
are designed to be compatible with adjacent tracts. The project will complete estate
residential development at the southwest quadrant of the Ellis Goldenwest quartersection.
3. The proposed 13 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, except for any variances approved concurrently
under Variance No. 98-19. With exception of the requested variances, the project will
comply with all provisions of the Ellis Goldenwest Specif c Plan.
PC Minutes — 5/11/99 4 (99PCM511)
4. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 98-64 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:
LU 9.1.2 —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).
b. Encourage innovative and creative design concepts through the use of a
multitude of materials including brick and stone accents, wood shutters, and
wrought iron features, with architectural features such as turrets and building
"pop outs."
LU 9.3.2 —Require that the design of new residential subdivisions consider the following:
a. Orient housing to neighborhood and collector streets by designing all
residential driveway access onto the private street, and not from Garfield
Avenue.
The subdivision is designed to link with streets and equestrian easements that exist in the area.
The homes are architecturally designed to be compatible with the prior Hamptons phases, with
the use of identical materials, including stucco, tile roofs, wood, wrought iron, and brick and
stone accents. In addition, the subdivision is designed to provide the necessary easements and
improvements without impacting adjacent uses.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO.98-19:
1. The granting of Variance No. 98-19 for four (4) variances as follows will not constitute a
grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity
and under an identical zone classification:
a. To permit development of a five gross acre project area in lieu of minimum 10 gross
acres. The project is not adjacent to any other vacant parcel that would permit an
integrated development. The project is minimum five (5) gross acres in size which meets
the minimum non-contiguous size requirement and it will be designed compatible with
the adjacent Hampton tract.
b. To allow 24 foot front setbacks on Lots 1, 3, and 8, and a 26 foot front yard setback on
Lot 2 in lieu of minimum 25% of lot depth. The reduced front setbacks are necessary to
provide a usable back yard due to sloped conditions in the rear yards of Lots 1-3, and the
cul-de-sac frontage on Lot 8. In addition, there were similar variances granted in the
adjacent Hamptons tract.
c. To allow a 15 foot rear yard setback on Lot 6, and a 10 foot rear setback on Lot 7 in lieu
of minimum 25 feet. The irregular shaped buildable area restricts the building design on
the lot. The CC&R's will restrict development within 25 feet of the property line
adjacent to the usable yard areas on both these lots (Lot 6 — west property line, Lot 7 —
east property line).
PC Minutes — 5/11/99 5 (99PCM511)
d. To exceed the maximum 2 foot cut on Lot 1 (3.3 ft.), Lot 2 (4.2 ft.), Lot 3 (4.2 ft.), Lot 4
(4.2 ft.), and Lot 5 (3.0 ft.), and 2 foot maximum fill on Lot 7 (4.0 ft.), Lot 8 (2.5 ft.), and
Lot 9 (2.5 ft.). The proposed grading complies with the intent of the specific plan, and
involves minimal cut and fill necessary to allow for proper drainage. There has also been
similar cut and fill variances approved in the quartersection.
The proposed development will not contrast with the character of the neighborhood that has
been developed to retain the natural terrain and generally comply with the setback
requirements. Furthermore, similar variances for reduced setbacks, and deviations to the cut
and fill requirement have been granted in the immediate area.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape,
topography, location and surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found
to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and
under identical zone classification. The proposed pads have been designed to minimize the
alteration of the natural terrain while designing for proper drainage. With the conditions
imposed, the lots with reduced rear setbacks will maintain an increased yard area adjacent to
the rear yards on adjacent lots.
3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights. The reduced project area, reduced setback requirements, and additional cut
and fill will allow for development on the five acre area which is compatible with the
adjacent Hamptons residential development. Similar building setback reductions were
granted in the adjacent Hamptons tract.
4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to property in the same zone classification. With the conditions imposed, the
reduced setbacks, increased cut and fill, and development on the 5 acre project area will not
reduce the privacy, or negatively impact the value of adjacent properties or neighborhoods.
