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 Class 1 (e) 1 of the CEQA Guidelines, because the addition will neither result in an
increase of more than 50% of the floor area of the structure before the addition nor exceed 2,500 sq.
ft.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 00-24:
Conditional Use Permit No. 00-24 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the 650
square foot accessory dwelling unit attached to the existing single family residence by a covered
breezeway 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
accessory dwelling unit is attached to the main residence by a covered breezeway and results in an
architecturally unified whole, off-street parking is provided for the new unit, the accessory
dwelling meets or exceeds all development standards that would apply to a room addition in the
same location, and the unit will not create any undue noise, traffic, or visual impacts to the
adjacent residential properties. With the conditions of approval imposed, public and utility
services, including emergency access are adequate to serve both dwellings. As required by the
zoning code, the existing main dwelling is owner occupied and the accessory dwelling unit may not
be sold separately from the primary house.
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because the proposed 650 •
square foot accessory dwelling unit will be architecturally unified with the existing single family
ZA Minutes 07/19/00 2 (OOZM0719)
residence by an attached covered breezeway, the roof line and pitch are compatible with the
® existing structure, and the new unit meets all required setbacks. Although some of the adjacent
properties have two stories, no adjacent structure has any windows that would be impacted by the
new development. In addition, the accessory unit maintains the scale of adjoining residences and is
compatible with the design of existing dwellings in the vicinity in terms of building materials,
colors, and exterior finishes. Also, an off-street parking space is provided for the accessory
dwelling unit as required by the zoning code.
The proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 00-24 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. The proposed 650 square foot accessory dwelling unit meets or exceeds
all development standards for single family residential units and accessory dwelling units within the
Low Density Residential zone.
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 Low Density Residential on the subject
property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan:
a. Goal LU9: Achieve the development of a range of housing units that provides for the diverse
economic, physical, and social needs of existing and future residents of Huntington Beach.
b. Policy LU 9.2.1: Require that all new residential development within existing residential
neighborhoods (i.e. infill) be compatible with existing structures.
c. Objective LU 9.5: Provide for the development of housing for senior citizens, the physically
and mentally challenged, and very low, low, and moderate income families.
The accessory dwelling unit is considered a unique housing structure within the Low Density
Residential zoning district, the new residence will be compatible with the existing structure on the
property and within the surrounding neighborhood, and the residence will provide housing for
senior citizens since the applicant has indicated the unit is intended to provide housing for the
applicant's parents.
