92646
PROPERTY OWNER: Angelo Rinaldi and Dewey Davide, P.O. Box 911, Huntington Beach,
CA 92648
REQUEST: CUP to (a) construct two three-story single-family dwellings on
separate contiguous lots with a grade differential greater than three feet;
(b) to construct two 24-inch tall tiered retaining walls in the front yard
setback of each lot, in lieu of the 18 inch maximum permitted height;
and VAR to exceed the 37-foot maximum building height by 1.09 feet
for both dwellings.
LOCATION: 3 13 -3 15 Nineteenth Street (west side of Nineteenth Street, south of
Orange Avenue)
PROJECT PLANNER: Ron Santos
Ron Santos, Staff Planner, displayed project plans, elevations, and photographs of the project site, as
well as neighboring dwellings, and stated the purpose and location of the request. Staff recommended
denial of the conditional use permit and the variance based upon the suggested findings as outlined in
the staff report. Staff recommended retraction of the finding, which references the lot coverage,
because the applicant intends to comply with the minimum lot coverage requirements. The applicant
has been encouraged to redesign the plans in order to create a distinction between the two dwellings.
Staff stated that alternative recommendations for conditions of approval for the conditional use permit
were prepared should the Zoning Administrator find such action appropriate.
No written or verbal comments were received in response to the public notification.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Louie Hernandez, 19092 Callaway Circle, the applicant, addressed the variance elevations and
presented changes to the color of the roof, windowpane and fagade. Mr. Hernandez stated that the
height variance is only 8% of the entire roof area.
Mr. Hernandez stated that the variance is requested because of a potential drainage hardship based on
the site because the lot is four feet above the street level versus 2 feet or below for the majority of the
lots in the area. Mr. Hernandez presented photographs of neighboring homes in excess of the height
limit.
Dewey Davide, P.O. Box 911, the property owner, stated that the same home has been built numerous
times with those same elevations and stated that he felt any changes would be unfair. Mr. Davide
stated that they would have to accept a potential liability in the future for any drainage problems that
might occur.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
ZA Minutes 12/20/00 19 (OOZM1220)
Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, staff, the applicant, and the property owner engaged in a
general discussion concerning the design limitations and height. Ms. Broeren indicated that she did
visit the site and noticed that notably higher dwellings were built before the code was changed. Ms.
Broeren stated that the circumstances applicable to this property are not unique enough to grant the
variance, and she is not aware of any previous variances granted to exceed the maximum height
limitation. Ms. Broeren stated that she would grant the conditional use permit with alternate
conditions of approval as provided by staff.
Ms. Broeren confirmed with the applicant that they understood and agreed to the alternative
conditions of approval as well as compliance with the Infill Ordinance.
Ms. Broeren asked staff to add to the findings of the conditional use permit the following: Other
single-family homes similar to those proposed exist in the vicinity of the project site on comparable
grades.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.00-34 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING MODIFIED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS
OF APPROVAL. VARIANCE NO. 00-25 WAS DENIED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS. 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 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 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines because the project consists of construction of two single-
family dwellings in an urbanized residential zone.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.00-34:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 00-34 to (a) construct two three-story single-family dwellings on
separate contiguous lots with a grade differential greater than three feet; and (b) to construct two
24-inch tall tiered retaining walls in the front yard setback of each lot, in lieu of the 18 inch
maximum permitted height 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. Other single-family homes similar to those proposed exist in the vicinity of the
project site on comparable grades. The retaining walls proposed in the front setback are similar to
those existing on adjacent properties and will include landscaping to help soften their appearance.
2. The proposed development, as conditioned, is compatible with surrounding uses because the
adjacent homes are built at the same grade as the project site and have similar retaining walls in the
front setback.
3. The proposed project, as conditioned, complies 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
including maximum height, maximum lot coverage, setbacks and parking.
ZA Minutes 12/20/00 20 (OOZM1220)
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 Medium High Density on the
subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following policy of the General Plan:
a. Policy LU 9.2.1 - Require that all new residential development within existing residential
neighborhoods (i.e., infill) be compatible with existing structures, including the use of building
heights, grade elevations, orientation, and bulk that are compatible with the surrounding
development.
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - VARIANCE NO.00-25:
The granting of Variance No. 00-25 to exceed the 37-foot maximum building height by 1.09 feet
for both dwellings would constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon
other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. New development on
lots with comparable topographic circumstances to those existing on the project site has been
achieved in compliance with HBZSO building height requirements. This finding is made with
consideration of the two foot increase in height allotted by the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance
to address the site's existing 4.09 foot grade differential between top -of -curb and subfloor.
2. The granting of a variance is not necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights. The proposed development may be redesigned to achieve conformance with the
applicable height standard by reducing floor to ceiling height, grading or a combination thereof,
while maintaining conformance with prevailing design standards.
3. The granting of the variance will be materially detrimental to the public welfare and injurious to
property in the same zone classification. The proposed variance would allow dwellings which
exceed the height limit applicable in the zone and consequently would negatively impact views and
restrict transmission of natural light. In addition, the height and design of the proposed dwellings
is inconsistent with the character of development desired in the district, as identified in the General
Plan.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL — CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.00-34:
1. The site plan, floor plans and elevations received and dated November 30, 2000 shall be the
conceptually approved layout with the following modifications:
a. Proposed dwellings shall be designed to comply with the building height and lot coverage
restrictions applicable in the RMH-A zone.
b. Proposed dwellings shall be redesigned to achieve a substantial distinction in architectural
design between each of the proposed units, to the satisfaction of the Planning Director.
c. A note shall be added on the plans, which indicates that all bathroom windows and windows
which align with windows located on adjacent dwellings will be made of opaque glass.
