Staff stated that there would be a total of five dispensers located at five different entrances; specifically, Bolsa Chica and the Huntington State Beach entrances at Beach, Magnolia, Newland and Brookhurst. Staff stated that the five dispensers would be open year-round with hours ranging from approximately 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Staff stated that all of the dispensers/kiosks are to be placed at each entrance except for the Beach Boulevard entrance. Staff stated that the Beach Boulevard dispenser will be placed further into the parking lot to prevent stacking of automobiles. Staff stated that the only response received was from Public Works who wants the dispensers accessible to the driver's window, as well as being adequately lit during any night hours of operation. Staff stated that the applicant has addressed both of these concerns. Staff recommended approval with the suggested findings and conditions. Herb Fauland, Zoning Administrator, questioned the use of the word "kiosk" since they are dispensers. Staff clarified that the request is for dispensers. Mr. Fauland asked if the existing kiosks are to remain. Staff confirmed that they would remain (in addition to the dispensers). Mr. Fauland asked if the dispensers are subject to Design Review. Staff stated, "No." THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Donald Ito, California State Parks, 18331 Enterprise Lane, Huntington Beach, stated that he is present to answer any questions that the Zoning Administrator might have, and that he is representing the applicant. Mr. Fauland asked Mr. Ito if he had reviewed the conditions of approval. Mr. Ito stated that he had. Mr. Fauland asked the applicant if they had any concerns with condition 4.a, a short-term parking area near the parking machine. Mr. Ito stated there was no problem with this condition, and stated that the intent was that the machines be accessible from the driver in the vehicle. Mr. Ito stated that they currently have the machines operational at other State parks. Mr. Ito stated that the only difference would be at the Beach Boulevard entrance because of the potential stacking problem. Mr. Ito stated that the Beach Boulevard machine would be installed in the parking lot, essentially near an existing parking spot. Mr. Ito noted that it would really be a drive -through access and payment.
