foot high setback in order to be compatible with the adjacent side entry garage. One telephone call
was received from a neighboring resident regarding the exterior staircase, and no letters were
received.
Scott Hess, Acting Zoning Administrator, asked staff for the applicant's justification of the variance.

COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO.99-30/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.99-
71/VARIANCE NO.99-26 WERE APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH
THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. HE STATED THAT
THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR CAN BE APPEALED TO
THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITHIN TEN (10) WORKING 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 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines, because the addition will not increase the floor
area by more than 10,000 square feet.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT N0.99-30:
Coastal Development Permit No. 99-30 for the development project, as proposed or as modified
by conditions of approval, conforms with the General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program.
The proposed new construction of a 4,825 square foot two-story single family residence with a
third story deck will not impact public views or access. It is consistent with the General Plan
Land Use designation of residential low density which permits single family dwellings.
2. The project is consistent with the requirements of the CZ Overlay District, the base zoning
district, as well as other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code except for any variances
ZA Minutes 03/15/00 2 (OOZM0315)
J
approved concurrently. The proposed development will conform with height requirements, site
coverage, and setbacks as well as all other applicable City codes.
3. At the time of occupancy the proposed development can be provided with infrastructure in a
manner that is consistent with the Local Coastal Program. All necessary infrastructure is provided
for the project.
4. The development conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of
the California Coastal Act. No public access or recreational opportunities exist at the site.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.99-71:
Conditional Use Permit No. 99-71 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the third
story deck above the second story living area as well as the construction of a six (6) foot high wall
within the front yard setback (10 feet in lieu of 15 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 third story deck is compatible with other third story
uses in Huntington Harbour and the deck incorporates additional setbacks (8 feet 2 inches and 5
feet) from the sides of the structure so as not to infringe on the privacy of adjacent residences. In
addition the deck orients towards the public right of way (harbor). The wall will be setback at 10
feet which will not impede visual clearance of the street and sidewalk when backing out of the
garage. In addition, the wall will be compatible with existing side entry garages that are setback
ten feet from the front property line.
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because the third story deck
will be setback from the sides of the structure which will allow greater privacy. In addition, with
the conditions imposed the fence will be set back ten feet from the front property line. The wall
will not impede visual clearance of the street and sidewalk when backing out of the garage and it
will be compatible with existing side entry garages that are setback ten feet from the front
property line.
3. The proposed third story deck above the second story living area as well as the construction of a
six (6) foot high wall within the front yard setback (10 feet in lieu of 15 feet) 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 deck will be setback 8 feet 2 inches on one side and 5 feet on the opposite side and will be
oriented towards the public right of way. The 6 foot high wall will comply with the required
visibility triangle.
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 Residential Low Density on the subject
property.
ZA Minutes 03/15/00
(OOZM0315)
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO.99-26:
1. The granting of Variance No. 99-26 for an exterior staircase from the second story to the third
story roof deck where no exterior access is permitted will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical
zone classification. The staircase is needed to provide a secondary exit from the third story roof
deck.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including 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 design of
the home does not allow a second exit to the roof deck within the home. Therefore, the required
second exit must be located externally to the home.
3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights. The Uniform Building Code requires a secondary access for roof decks. The
exterior staircase is necessary for the safety of the occupants.
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 design of the staircase will enhance the
architecture of the proposed remodel by providing architectural variation.
5. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the
Land Use Element designation of Residential Low Density on the subject property.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO.99-30/
