PROPERTY OWNER:
Richard Russell, Russell Fisher Partnership, 18971 Beach Boulevard,
Huntington Beach, CA 92648
REQUEST:
a) To permit site remodeling improvements and building modifications
to the existing Huntington Center Car Wash facility resulting in a net
building area reduction of approximately 1,387 sq. ft. and; b) addition of
vehicle oil -change services to the car wash operation. .
LOCATION:
16061 Beach Boulevard (west side of Beach Boulevard south of
Edinger Avenue)
PROJECT PLANNER:
Sandra Thornton
Sandra Thornton, Staff Planner, displayed project plans, photographs and elevations stating the
purpose, location and zoning of the request. Staff stated that changes in signage will consist of
refacing the existing directional signs and adding a new monument sign. Staff and the Design Review
Board (DRB) support the architect's proposal for a sign base of less than two feet provided that the
sign is surrounded by turf.
Staff stated that the DRB recommended approval of the request subject to a modification involving the
addition of a canopy or trellis on the north elevation. The DRB also recommended that the Planning
staff approve the final monument sign design and text.
® Staff recommended approval of the request based upon the findings and subject to the conditions as
pp q P g J
outlined in the staff report and because the project will meet the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance.
No written or verbal comments were received in response to the public notification.
Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, asked staff if the DRB's recommendations were reflected
in the conditions of approval. Staff stated that the staff report was published prior to the DRB
meeting, therefore, the conditions of approval do not reflect the DRB's recommendations. Staff
expressed support of the DRB's recommendations.
Ms. Broeren and staff discussed the north elevation, canopy visibility, uses, the adjacent preschool,
existing setback, and designation of the property.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Didier Camilleri, 7945 Aldrich Avenue, owner of the adjacent preschool, questioned the parking
provisions and asked what precautions would be taken to prevent pollution caused by the oil change
service. Ms. Broeren directed Mr. Camilleri to the suggested conditions of approval imposed by the
Public Works Department thereby addressing Mr. Camilleri's concerns. Mr. Camilleri asked if the
existing sign and fence would be altered since the fence obstructs his signs.
Richard Russell, 18971 Beach Boulevard, the property owner, opposed Conditions No. 1, 5.a.2 and
5.a.3. Mr. Russell stated that Condition No. 1 would create a situation which they are trying to
alleviate by reducing the size of the building and creating more space; Condition No. 5.a.2 would be
ZA Minutes 01/17/01 3 (O1zmO117)
expensive and a tremendous hindrance; and Condition No. 5.a. is unnecessary since the street is new.
Mr. Russell stated that he would work with Mr. Camilleri concerning the obstruction to the
preschool's existing sign. .
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
A general discussion ensued concerning a trellis on the wall, permit for the existing wall, visibility,
signage, and the code requirement for the six-foot wide landscape planter as setforth in Condition
No. 1. Ms. Broeren confirmed with staff that the applicant has been advised that a variance would be
required should the applicant decide not to install the landscape planter. Ms. Broeren asked staff what
the DRB's position was with respect to the planter. Staff concluded that the DRB felt it was not in
their purview to make a recommendation regarding the required six-foot wide landscape planter.
Ms. Broeren stated that she was going to approve the request with modifications to the conditions as
follows:
1. Condition No. 2.a.1 and Condition No. 5.a.2:
Removal and replacement of the existing two driveway approaches along Aldrich Avenue. The
removal and replacement of one driveway along Beach Boulevard shall be completed if determined
necessary by the Public Works Department; (PW)

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 project involves only minor alterations to the
existing building which will result in a net reduction to the existing floor area.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.00-73:
Conditional Use Permit No. 00-73 for the site remodeling improvements and building
modifications to the existing Huntington Center Car Wash facility will result in a net building area
reduction of approximately 1,397 sq. ft. and the addition of vehicle oil -change services to the car
wash operation 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
existing car wash will be reduced in size and will be remodeled to reflect a modern architecture
ZA Minutes 01/17/01 4 (01zm0117)
style. In addition, the oil change service facility will be screened from the street and will be
constructed to match the architectural style of the car wash facility.
® 2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because the existing car wash
facility will be remodeled and will result in a more attractive and appealing car wash operation.
The oil change use will be screened from Beach Boulevard by the car wash tunnel.
3. The proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 00-73 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. The project complies with all aspects of the zoning code including
parking, landscaping, and setbacks. In addition, the proposed building upgrade and oil change
service addition design is consistent with the Design Guidelines.

consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Commercial General on the subject property.
