ZONING ADMINISTRATOR: Mary Beth Broeren STAFF MEMBER: Jane James, Ricky Ramos, Ramona Kohlmann (recording secretary) MINUTES: None ORAL COMMUNICATION: None ITEM 1: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.99-4 (GEIL KILN MANUFACTURING FACILITYI APPLICANT: Renato Haug, Begovich & Haug Architects, 3821 Long Beach Boulevard, Suite 201, Long Beach, CA PROPERTY OWNER: Paul H. Geil, 1601 Rosecrans Avenue, Gardena, CA 90249 REQUEST: To construct a new 21,832 square foot industrial facility for the manufacturing of ceramic pottery kilns. LOCATION: 19221 Crystal Street (northwest corner of Crystal Street and Clay Avenue) PROJECT PLANNER: Jane James Jane James, Staff Planner, displayed site plans and elevations, stated the purpose of the request, the location, the surrounding uses, and the zoning. Staff stated that the project meets all of the Development standards as far as landscaping, parking, building height, setbacks, site coverage, and complies with all Zoning Code standards. Staff presented detailed explanations as to the elevations, vertical elements and color scheme, and recommended that as a condition the Planning Director review the color scheme prior to issuance of building permits. Staff stated that the Fire Department expressed concern regarding emergency access to the site during the soil remediation along Gothard Street. As a result, staff presented changes to Condition 21, which would allow the developer choices to ensure access from the east side of the property. With the recommended change, staff recommended approval of the project because it is compatible with other adjacent developments, complies with the Zoning and General Plan regulations for industrial properties, and because there has been a concerted effort on the part of the architect to ensure a quality building design. Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, stated that she received a letter from PLC regarding Condition No. 10 under the Specific Code Requirements asking that the language be re -worded so Mr. Geil may enter into an agreement with PLC to pay the Traffic Impact Fees directly to the City or purchase Traffic Impact Fee credits from PLC. Ms. Broeren asked staff why the widths of the landscaping differ. Staff advised that landscaping is not a code requirement. Staff agreed with Ms. Broeren's suggestion to emphasize the vertical accent of the building. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Renato Haug, 3821 Long Beach Boulevard, the applicant agreed to work with staff on the color scheme and confirmed with Ms. Broeren that he understand the vertical elements. Jerri Hesprich, 6971 Garden Circle, neighboring resident, inquired as to the height of the building, the number of stories, and requested clarification on the location of the site with respect to Crystal Street. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Staff presented two changes to the conditions of approval (in addition to those above) as follows: 1. Condition No. 6.a.9: To be deleted since the building "must" conform to all requirements of the HSSP. 2. Condition No. 12: Delete the word "adjacent" and add "Mr. Paul Geil, Property Owner." Ms. Broeren confirmed with Mr. Geil that he has read and understands all of the conditions. Ms. Broeren stated that she was going to approve the request with the conditions as outlined by staff, and with the suggested changes presented by staff as follows: deletion of Condition No. 6.a.9, change to Condition No. 12, addition of Condition No. 21, and change to Condition No. 10 under the Specific Code Requirements. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.99-4 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND 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 APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.99-4: Conditional Use Permit No. 99-4 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the 21,832 square foot industrial manufacturing facility 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 proposed industrial facility will improve a current vacant lot with a new building of high quality design. The project will include infrastructure improvements including new curb, gutter, and sidewalk which will serve to increase property ZA Minutes 01/26/00 2 (OOZM0126) values in the vicinity. The project is also designed so that safe traffic and pedestrian circulation will occur on and around the site and will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons in the vicinity. 2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because the kiln manufacturing operations will occur entirely within an enclosed building to minimize noise and other manufacturing related impacts on surrounding properties. Properties to the north, east, and west are also zoned for industrial uses while the property to the south is zoned for mixed use development. A proposed senior apartment complex is under review on the property to the south of the subject site within the mixed use zoning area. The proposed industrial facility is anticipated to be compatible with the proposed housing development because the projects are separated by Clay Avenue and each property will include landscaped setbacks. In addition, all parking and circulation for the manufacturing facility is concentrated on the north, east, and west sides of the property and includes only landscaping and two vehicular entrances along the south side. 3. The proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 99-4 will comply with the provisions of the base district, Division 9, and other applicable provisions in the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan. The proposed project meets or exceeds all zoning development standards including setbacks, landscaping, maximum building height, parking, and site coverage. 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 Industrial — Maximum 0.5 Floor Area Ratio - Design Overlay - Specific Plan on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: a. Objective LU1.1: Provide for the timing of residential, commercial, and industrial development coincident with the availability of adequate market demand to ensure economic vitality. b. Policy LU 7.1.6: Accommodate the development of additional jobs -generating land uses that improve the 1992 jobs to housing ratio of 0.82 to 1.0 or greater; to meet objectives of the Regional Comprehensive Plan (SCAG) and Air Quality Management Plan. These should capitalize upon existing industrial strengths and emphasizing the clustering of similar or complementary industries. c. Goal LU12: Achieve the development of industrial uses that provide job opportunities for existing and future residents, as well as the surrounding subregion, and generate revenue for the City. d. Policy LU12.1.5: Require that new and recycled industrial structures and sites shall be designed to achieve a high level of quality, distinctive character, and be compatible with existing uses. The proposed industrial development meets the above goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan by increasing industrial business opportunities and providing industrial based jobs to contribute to the jobs -housing ratio and the economy of our community. In addition, the ZA Minutes 01/26/00 3 (OOZM0126) project presents a quality architectural design by incorporating building recesses, angled corners, vertical elements,, window treatments, and includes a unique color palette incorporating elements of the businesses' corporate colors. 5. The Zoning Administrator finds that the project has been analyzed in accordance with the previously adopted Environmental Impact Report No. 89-1 (Holly-Seacliff EIR) and will not have any significant effect on the environment.

ZA Minutes 01/26/00 10 (OOZM0126) ITEM 2: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.99-59NARIANCE NO 00-1 (SEACLIFF VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER PADS A, E, AND F) APPLICANT: Michael Robnett, SGPA Architects, 1545 Hotel Circle South, #200, San Diego, CA 92108 PROPERTY OWNER: Jim Yoder, Seacliff Village, LLC, 655 Brea Canyon Road, Walnut, CA 91789 REQUEST: To construct three (3) one-story pad buildings for retail and office uses (Pad A — 5,000 square feet; Pad E — 5,400 square feet; Pad F — 5,138 square feet). A variance is requested to allow a minimum setback of 16 feet-8 inches in lieu of 25 feet along Goldenwest Street for Pad F. LOCATION: Pad A —19431 Main St.; Pad E — 7055 Yorktown Ave.; Pad F — 19440 Goldenwest Street (north side of Yorktown, between Main and Goldenwest) PROJECT PLANNER: Ricky Ramos Ricky Ramos, Staff Planner, displayed site plans and elevations, stated the purpose of the three requested pad sites, the location, the surrounding uses, and the zoning. Staff expressed support of the conditional use permit, and stated that the site pad for the shopping center was previously approved under a separate entitlement. Staff explained in detail Finding No. 2 for the requested variance, and expressed support of the variance for the reasons outlined in the staff report. Staff stated that the architecture has been reviewed by the Design Review Board (DRB) and they recommended that the final elevations be returned to the DRB for review as reflected in Condition No. 3.b. Staff stated that some phone calls were received regarding the setback variance. Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, stated that she received a letter from PLC regarding Condition No. 9 of the Specific Code Requirements asking that the language be re -worded so the developer may choose to purchase Traffic Impact Fee credits from PLC. Ms. Broeren stated that she spoke with Jerri Hesprich regarding the issue of the bus turnout, its location and whether or not it posed any safety conflict with building F. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Tom McCowan, 6972 Church Circle, neighboring resident, addressed concerns regarding the bus turnout, setback distance, increase in accidents, noise, additional lighting, and impact on property value. Wendy Phipps, 1545 Hotel Circle South,11200, San Diego, architect, stated that she was present to answer questions. Jerri Hesprich, 6971 Garden Circle, neighboring resident, expanded on Mr. McCowan's concerns regarding noise, increase in the flow of traffic, and expressed concern for the increased access points. ZA Minutes 01/26/00 11 (OOZM0126) Ms. Hesprich suggested that the developer be required to provide an eight -foot fence on the west side of Goldenwest. Ms. Hesprich indicated that the Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA) suggested that the entrance be eliminated or change the curve for the bus as well as provide a right turn lane. John Roe, 19382 Surfdale, addressed the issue of the bus turnout, potential safety hazard created by the location, and suggested moving the right -turn lane further north to deter possible congestion. Jack Distaso, 6971 Church Circle, neighboring resident, stated concern for the increase in lighting and traffic. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Ms. Broeren explained the prior approval process by the Planning Commission and the City Council for the bus turnout and the Master CUP. Ms. Broeren explained the processes for a visual intrusion study and stated that a sight visual analysis study was done, resulting in the standard City requirement that the lights be directed to shine directly onto the subject property. Ms. Broeren stated that the Planning Commission approved the Public Works and OCTA recommended bus turnouts and locations and acknowledged the possibility of a reduction in the landscaping. Ms. Broeren stated that she spoke with the City Traffic consultant regarding the safety issue, and she was advised that the plan is within specification and is consistent with guidelines. Ms. Broeren stated that in regard to moving the right -turn lane, the OCTA wants bus stops as close as possible to signalized intersections. Ms. Broeren stated that she will talk to Public Works about the placement of the transition lane, and she stated that the number of access points along Goldenwest is tied to the Master CUP, which has already been approved. Ms. Broeren stated that she was going to approve the request with the following changes: 1. Addition to the variance Finding No. 4 stating that the building is going to be located in the same distance from the homes on the west side of Goldenwest even in absence of the bus turnout. 2. Change Condition No. 9 under the Specific Code Requirements regarding the Traffic Impact Fees per the letter from PLC. 3. Add Condition 2.e, stating that the Planning staff will explore with Public Works the possibility of locating the bus turnout slightly further south. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.99-59/VARIANCE NO.00-1 WERE APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING MODIFIED FINDINGS AND 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 is covered by Environmental Impact Report No. 89- 1. It will comply with all applicable mitigation measures and will not have any significant effect on the environment. ZA Minutes 01/26/00 12 (OOZMO126) FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.99-59: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 99-59 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of three (3) one-story pad buildings for retail and office uses (Pad A — 5,000 square feet; Pad E — 5,400 square feet; Pad F — 5,138 square feet) 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 part of the master plan for the Seacliff Village Shopping Center previously approved under a separate entitlement. As modified by the conditions of approval, the proposed pad buildings are consistent with the master site plan and architectural design concept for the center and will provide an amenity to the area. 2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because the pad buildings will be incorporated into a larger shopping center being developed on the site. The building elevations, colors, and materials will be consistent with the architectural design concept previously approved for the center. The project will be separated from surrounding development by streets and landscaped setbacks to minimize any impacts. 3. The proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 99-59 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. The project meets or exceeds all minimum development standards such as building height and landscaping percentage. 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 Mixed Use Horizontal on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: a. Revitalize, renovate, and expand the existing Huntington Beach commercial facilities while attracting new commercial uses. (ED 2.4) b. Require that commercial buildings and sites be designed to achieve a high level of architectural and site layout quality. (LU 10.1.4) FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO.00-1: 1. The granting of Variance No. 00-1 to allow a minimum setback of 16 feet-8 inches in lieu of 25 feet along Goldenwest Street for Pad F will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. Setback variances have been approved for other similar properties that have a unique hardship. 2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including the dedication of a bus turnout along Goldenwest Street adjacent to Pad F, 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 previously approved master site plan for Seacliff Village Shopping center showed the building at Pad F in compliance with the setback requirement along Goldenwest Street. The dedication of the bus turnout resulted in a relocation ZA Minutes 01/26/00 13 (OOZM0126) of the property line along Goldenwest Street, which reduced the minimum setback to 16 feet-8 inches. Redesign of the project would represent a hardship. Y' 3. The granting of 'a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights because it will allow the development of Pad F as anticipated in the approved master site plan for Seacliff Village Shopping center prior to the bus turnout being required. 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 building location will not change and will continue to have the same separation from the single family dwellings on the westside of Goldenwest Street. Additionally, the setback reduction only applies to a minor portion of the building with the majority being in compliance with the setback requirement. It allows for offsets and variation in the building wall to provide for a more aesthetically pleasing design compared to a straight facade that complies with code. 5. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Mixed Use Horizontal on the subject property which permits the proposed uses. In addition, it is consistent with the following policy of the General Plan: Require the incorporation of facilities to promote the use of public transit, such as bus turnouts and drop-offs where appropriate. (LU 10.1.3) CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL — CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.99-59NARIANCE NO.00-1: 1. The site plan, floor plans and elevations received and dated November 8, 1999 shall be the conceptually approved layout with the following modifications: a.
