approved Seacliff Village Shopping Center on Pad G. Staff stated that the project was reviewed by
the Design Review Board (DRB) and they recommended approval of the project with the addition of
Condition Lf.
Staff recommended approval of the project because it complies with the General Plan designation as

including setbacks, building height, parking, and landscaping. Staff stated that the use is compatible
with the character of the area. Staff recommended approval of the signage based upon the findings.
Staff recommended Conditions l.g and 6.a in order to ensure further compatibility with the area.
Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, and staff discussed the DRB's recommendation and
staff's recommendation for elimination of a "Playplace" sign.
Ms. Broeren outlined a letter she received from Mr. Lieber, a resident on Garden Circle, expressing
concerns related to noise, lights from the signage impacting his home and a suggestion that the hours
be limited.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CONTINUED OPEN.

hours of operation.
John Roe, 1932 Surfdale Lane, representing the Huntington Seacliff Homeowner's Association,
presented concerns of the residents such as hours of operation, noise from the speaker, and signage.
Mr. Roe requested that an additional notice be sent to the attendees at today's hearing when
applications for the other pad locations along Goldenwest are presented before the Zoning
Administrator.
Debra Marinozzi responded to the concerns expressed above by the residents. A discussion ensued
between Ms. Marinozzi and Ms. Hesprich as to why the drive -through could not be moved.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Ms. Broeren addressed the issues presented above by the members of the public. Ms. Broeren and
staff discussed the sign code exception requirements, the 5 foot grade differential, reviewed a plan of
the monument sign, and discussed placement of the "Playplace" sign.
Ms. Broeren stated that she was going to approve the request with changes to conditions Lg and 6.
Ms. Broeren also imposed a condition for a six-month review after certificate of occupancy and after
the business has been opened. Ms. Broeren stated that because of the six-month review and the
change to the condition requiring a silent speaker system between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00
a.m., she would not be placing a restriction on the hours of operation.

APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS
AND MODIFIED 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),
because the development was analyzed and approved under the Holly Seacliff Specific Plan EIR 89-
1.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.99-41:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 99-41 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of a 4,680
square foot McDonald's Restaurant, including a 1,112 square foot enclosed play area and drive -
through on Pad G 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.
Pad G is part of the master plan for the shopping center, which has been previously approved by
permit. The proposed building is consistent with the Master Site Plan. Additionally, a non -
audible drive -through ordering system is conditioned to reduce noise impacts to the residential
neighborhood to the east across Goldenwest Street. The drive -through also includes adequate
circulation and vehicular stacking.
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because the building will be
incorporated into part of a larger shopping center, which previously existed on the site. The
building elevations, colors, and materials will be consistent with the design guidelines previously
approved for the shopping center.
3. The proposed conditional use permit 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 project has adequate percentage of landscaping and meets or exceeds all other
minimum development standards such as setbacks, building height, and parking.
4. The granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is
consistent with the Holly Seacliff Specific Plan and Land Use Element designation of Mixed Use

of architectural and site layout quality.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL — SIGN CODE EXCEPTION NO.99-7:
1. Sign Code Exception No. 99-7 to permit 141 square feet of wall signage in lieu of a maximum
106 square feet will be compatible with the character of the surrounding area and is needed for
special circumstances defined by the applicant and approved by the Zoning Administrator. The
colors and materials of the sign will be consistent with Planned Sign Program No. 98-5, which
was previously approved for the Seacliff Village Shopping Center. The additional wall signage is
for the "Playplace" portion of the McDonald's restaurant and is a trademark logo. The building
pad is approximately five feet below the street grade; the additional 35 square feet of signage will
assist in giving the building visibility that is more equivalent with other businesses.
2. The proposed signage will not adversely affect other signs in the area. The signs will not block
the visibility of other signs in the surrounding area, and are compatible with the signs proposed
for the Seacliff Village Shopping Center.
3. The proposed signage will not be detrimental to properties located in the vicinity. The wall sign
proposed is proportional to the building and the colors and materials are consistent with the
Planned Sign Program previously approved for the shopping center. The wall signs on the
Goldenwest frontage, facing the residential area, is limited to one business identification sign.
4. The proposed signage will not obstruct vehicular or pedestrian traffic visibility and will not be a
hazardous distraction. The wall sign is constructed with internal illumination and does not

ZA Minutes—12/01/99 10 (99ZM1201)
The proposed wastewater process (solids storage and truck loading) facility will be consistent
with the following goals and policies of the Public General Plan land use designation on the
property:
Objective LU 13.1: Provide for the continuation of existing and development of new uses, such
as governmental administrative, public safety, human service, cultural, educational, infrastructure,
religious, and other uses that support the needs of existing and future residents and businesses.
Goal U2: Provide a wastewater collection and treatment system which is able to support
permitted land uses; upgrade existing deficient systems; and pursue funding sources to reduce
costs of wastewater service provision in the City.
Objective U 2.1: Ensure the City provides and maintains a wastewater collection and treatment
facilities system which adequately conveys and treats wastewater generated by existing and
planned development at a maximized cost efficiency.
The proposed facility will replace the deteriorating existing solids storage and truck loading
facility constructed in 1981. The upgraded new facility improves the District's ability to serve the
wastewater needs of Orange County residents.

of PS -Public -Semipublic, as well as other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. The
Orange County Sanitation District Plant No. 2 for the treatment of Orange County's wastewater is

existing outdated facility.
