HE 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 setback variances which do not result in the creation of a new parcel are considered exempt under CEQA. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO.99-5: 1. The granting of Variance No. 99-5 to allow a 216 square foot storage shed to continue at a zero side setback will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. The existing buildings are built at a zero side setback and the shed is a continuation of the setback. 2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including existing building placement, 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 placement of the existing buildings and parking spaces do not allow a storage shed to be placed anywhere else on the property. 3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The shed will house non-combustible materials, equipment, tools, and supplies in order for the applicant to complete the daily shopping center maintenance program. 4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property in the same zone classification. The current buildings are built at a zero side setback and the shed is approximately half the height of the existing buildings. 5. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Commercial General on the subject property and the following policy of the General Plan: a. LU 10.1.13 — Encourage the long-term physical maintenance and economic vitality of Commercial General areas, including the consideration of the use of pro -active programs of economic reinvestment, code enforcement, and redevelopment. ZA Minutes 01/12/00 2 (OOZMO112) CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL —VARIANCE NO.99-5: 1.

In addition the gates will provide additional privacy to the residents of the Huntington Continental apartment complex. 2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because the gates will be setback far enough from Springdale that adjacent properties will not be able to see them. The property directly to the east which faces the gates is the rear of a residential property with a six foot high block wall and extensive landscaping to block the view of the gates. 3. The proposed electronic gates at the Huntington Continental apartment complex 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.

Box 5293, Huntington Beach, CA 92615 REQUEST: The conditional use permit is to construct an approximately 14,960 square foot Walgreens Pharmacy with drive -through service and associated site improvements. The lot line adjustment is to adjust the lot lines of three (3) existing parcels to yield two (2) parcels. LOCATION: 19501, 19521-19541 Beach Boulevard (southwest corner of Yorktown Avenue and Beach Boulevard) PROJECT PLANNER: Amy Wolfe Amy Wolfe, Staff Planner, displayed site plans and photographs, stated the purpose of the request, the location, the surrounding uses, and the zoning. Staff stated that the proposed plan does not meet the General Plan intent for development on the site, and the plan does not meet the Zoning and Subdivision Zoning Ordinance intent with respect to the placement of the buildings. Staff stated that the findings for denial are primarily based on the foregoing, and that the requested lot line adjustment will create a parcel deficient in satisfying the parking requirement. Based upon the above staff recommended denial of the project. As an alternative staff stated that conditions have been prepared for a modification of the plan, which will move the building closer to ZA Minutes 01/12/00 7 (OOZM0112) the intersection, adding the necessary parking spaces to satisfy the minimum requirements, and which will address the concerns regarding massing and modulation of the building and articulation of all elevations. Staff addressed the building architecture and indicated that the applicant has agreed to a more compatible theme. Mike Strange, Acting Zoning Administrator, reviewed the site plans and discussed with staff alternatives to the location of the building with respect to the intersection, minimum setback lines, and parking. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. John Glikbarg, 6033 W. Century Boulevard, Los Angeles, the applicant addressed the issues presented by staff, and explained various problems related to moving the building to other locations on the site including issues with the Orange County Health Department. Dick Harlow, 211-B Main Street, consultant to the applicant, presented a review of the proposal, responded to the issues presented by staff, expressed concern for moving the building, stated that the item was approved by the Design Review Board, and referenced the General Plan regarding incorporation of site, linkage of buildings, design and structure to encourage pedestrian activity, architecture of the building to minimize bulk and mass, inclusion of consistent signage, and consolidation of driveways. Mr. Strange and staff discussed at what point the applicant was made aware of the General Plan requirements, how long these guidelines have been implemented by the City, and if any comments were received from the Fire Department regarding the soil remediation and piping. Mr. Strange and Mr. Harlow discussed the demolition of the neighboring car wash. Staff stated that because of the major disagreement regarding the location of the building, and because the back of the building has not been seen, staff wants to ensure that all of the elevations are reviewed and approved by the Planning Department. Therefore, staff suggested that a condition be added accordingly. Robert Clayton, 19490 Beach Boulevard, neighboring property owner, stated that placing the building up to the sidewalk would create a blind spot for traffic. Mr. Clayton supported the current location of the building and addressed problems related to vapor and recovery contamination. Marco Velastegui, P.O. Box 5293, the property owner, presented reasons for the current location of the building. Staff stated that no conditions have been drafted in regard to the remediation equipment, location and screening because they were not reflected on the plans. Staff requested that the applicant provide staff with the opportunity to conduct such a review. ZA Minutes 01/12/00 8 (OOZM011.2) Brandy Yamamoto, 6033 W. Century Boulevard, Los Angeles, architect, stated that it was not possible to place 40% of the building at the minimum setback and presented reasons accordingly. Mr. Glikbarg stated that they could not abide by Condition Ld since they have no ownership or control over that particular property. Staff presented options in order for Walgreens to meet the minimum standards. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Mr. Strange stated that he was going to approve staff s recommendation for the modified plan, the reduced setbacks, and the addition of a condition to include the remediation screening.
