REQUEST:
To develop an industrial complex consisting of six (6) -Scheme "A"- or
seven (7) Scheme `B" buildings and associated site improvements on a
vacant site with a grade differential of 12.7 ft. between the high and low
point. The tentative parcel map is to subdivide 4 lots into 7 number lots
and 1 letter lot. The variance is to permit construction of 2 buildings
with 26.9 ft. and 25.8 ft. height respectively, in lieu of 18 ft., within 45
ft. of residential property.
LOCATION:
West side of Stewart Street, approximately 380 feet south of Garfield
Avenue
PROJECT PLANNER:
Amy Wolfe
Amy Wolfe, Staff Planner, displayed site plans and elevations stating the purpose and location of the
request. Staff stated that scheme A is intended to be utilized by six tenants whereas scheme B is for
seven tenants, with a minor difference between lot 4 and 5 (and the corresponding buildings).
® Staff recommended denial of the request based upon the findings for denial and because the project
does not meet the intent of the General Plan for compatibility with the residential areas, and the
proposed development is not in compliance with minimum front yard setbacks and maximum building
height. 9
n h alternative staff resented draft findings and conditions for approval. No written or verbal
I the p g
comments were received in response to the public notices.
Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, stated that she received one telephone call from Ron
Metzler of Shea Properties, developer of the residential property south of the subject site. Mr.
Metzler requested a condition for 15-foot wide landscaping between the two properties, including 36-
inch box trees to be decided upon by the City.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CONTINUED OPEN.
Dave Walden, 18012 Cowan, Suite 210, Irvine, engineer, presented colored site plans and addressed
the issues of compatibility as outlined in the findings for denial in the staff report (in particular the
loading areas and truck access).

Economic Development Element General Plan supporting approval of the proposed project.
Gregg Galusha, 1999 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles, project director with Morgan Stanley,
addressed the Fire Department concerns and addressed the letter from Hazard Management
Consulting.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Ms. Broeren stated that the project presents an opportunity to address some of the Economic
Development Element goals that have been outlined, and presents some challenges for the City
because of the proximity to the residential. Ms. Broeren stated that the analogy that was made
between the shopping center on the other side of Goldenwest and the displays that were shown about
the industrial properties in the City indicate that this project is comparable to, or in some cases, in a
slightly better condition than some of the other situations. Ms. Broeren stated that she does share
some of staff s concerns regarding some of the elements of the project, but overall some changes have
been made since the initial hearing including the landscaping between the residential and the site that
do enhance the project.

FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA:
The Zoning Administrator finds that the project is covered by previously approved Environmental
Impact Report No. 89-1 and will not have any significant effect on the environment
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 99-157:
Tentative Parcel Map No. 99-157 for the establishment of seven (7) number lots and one (1) letter
lot is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element designation of I-F2-d-sp (Industrial- 0.5
FAR -Design Overlay -Specific Plan Overlay) on the subject property, the Holly-Seacliff Specific
Plan, and other applicable provisions of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. Tentative Parcel
Map No. 99-157 is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element Community District and
Sub -area Schedule design and development provisions which require that the design and
development of the site should ensure compatibility with adjacent residential neighborhoods. The
proposed subdivision's lot layout and street configuration provides adequate separation between
the proposed loading, parking and other service oriented facilities and adjoining residential
development and will not adversely impact said development. The proposed parcels comply with
minimum lot size and width.
2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type and density of development. Adequate
separation between the proposed industrial and adjacent residential uses has been incorporated in
the proposed project design. The proposed type and density will not compromise project design
quality or compatibility with future residential uses to the south of the site due to grade
differential, building separation and enhanced landscaping.
3. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause serious health
problems or substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife
or their habitat. The site does not contain any fish or wildlife habitat.
4. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements,
acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed
subdivision unless alternative easements, for access or for use, will be provided. The map further
improves access because a connection will be provided between Goldenwest Street and Stewart
Street.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 99-28:
Conditional Use Permit No. 99-28 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of six (6) -
Scheme "A"- or seven (7) - Scheme `B"- buildings and associated site improvements will not be
detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity and to the value of
the property and improvements in the neighborhood. The proposed site planning and building
design will achieve a high level of quality and will be compatible with future residential uses to the w
south of the project site. A minimum 15 ft. wide landscape area will be provided along the
ZA Minutes 04/05/00 4 (OOZM0405)
southerly property line between the industrial complex and future residential uses to the south.
® Loading areas will be located a minimum of 45 ft. from the southerly property line.
2. The conditional use permit, is compatible with surrounding uses because of building design and
location of service and loading areas. The proposed structures will incorporate parapets to screen
roof -mounted mechanical equipment from adjacent residential uses. Loading areas will be sited in
considerable distance from future residences to the south of the site.
The proposed industrial complex will comply with the provisions of the base district and other
applicable provisions in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code with the exception of the building
height variance (Variance No. 00-05) which is requested in conjunction with the subject project
development request. The proposed development as conditioned, is in compliance with minimum
front yard setbacks, and parking area design requirements.
4. The granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is
consistent with the following Land Use Element and Economic Development Element goals,
objectives and policies of the General plan applicable to the subject property:
LU12.1.4. Require that new and recycled industrial projects be designed and developed to
achieve a high level of quality, distinctive character, and be compatible with existing uses.
LU 12.1.5. Require that new and recycled industrial structures and sites be designed to convey
visual interest and character and to be compatible with adjacent uses, considering the:
® • use of multiple building masses and volumes to provide visual interest and minimize the
visual sense of bulk and mass;
• architectural design treatment of all building elevations;
• mitigation of noise odor, lighting and other impacts
ED L I Enhance the City's market potential in terms of retail, office, industrial, and visitor
serving activity. This would allow Huntington Beach to provide for retail, office, and
industrial opportunities that serve the current and projected population and enhance sales and
occupancy tax revenue.
ED 2.5 Revitalize, renovate, and expand available industrial lands and facilities while
attracting new industrial uses.
ED 2.5.1 Encourage and assist existing and potential industrial owners to update, modernize,
and expand their industrial properties.
In addition the proposed project is consistent with the following Community District and Sub -area
design and development characteristics:
Subarea 9A
• Design and site buildings to ensure compatibility with adjacent residential neighborhoods.
® FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO.00-05:
The granting of Variance No. 00-05 to allow construction of two buildings with 26.9 ft. and 25.8
ft. height respectively in lieu of 18 ft. within 45 ft. of residential property will not constitute a grant
ZA Minutes 04/05/00 5 (OOZM0405)
of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an
identical zone classification. Improvement of the property is limited by numerous abandoned oil
well sites which restrict site planning and building placement. 0
2. There are special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including topography, location
and surroundings, based on which 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 property has a grade differential of 12.7 ft. between the high and low
point and is approximately 3.5 to 5.5 ft lower than the adjacent residential areas to the south.
Permitting a building height variance to exceed the maximum 18 ft. building height within 45 ft. of
residential areas will meet the intent of the building height limitation due to the grade differential
between the industrial and residential properties and will not deprive the subject property of
privileges enjoyed by other industrial properties in the vicinity.
3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights because it would permit development of the site with industrial buildings with the
necessary 18 ft.- 22 ft. minimum roof clearance under the roof beams.
4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
property in the same zone classification because it would allow construction of building parapets
to screen roof -top mounted mechanical equipment.
The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the
Land Use Element designation of I-F2-d-sp (Industrial- 0.5 FAR -Design Overlay -Specific Plan
Overlay) on the subject property and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element
Community District and Sub -area Schedule design and development provisions which require that
the design and development of the site should ensure compatibility with adjacent residential
neighborhoods.
