A Coastal Development Permit for the construction of a single-family dwelling unit in a coastal zone, and a Variance to allow an 18-ft. setback in lieu of 20 ft. to the front -entry garage. This request includes review for compliance with the Infill Lot Ordinance. The Infill Lot Ordinance encourages adjacent property owners to review proposed development for compatibility/privacy issues, such as window alignments, building pad height, and floor plan layout. LOCATION: 16848 Bay View Drive (north side of Bay View Drive, approximately 320 ft. east of Broadway) PROJECT PLANNER: Paul Da Veiga Paul Da Veiga, Staff Planner, displayed project plans, photographs and elevations stating the purpose, location and zoning of the request. Staff suggested two corrections to the suggested findings for approval in the staff report as follows: 1. Conditional Use Permit Finding No. 1 should be amended to read that the total building height is 31 feet. 2. Variance Finding No. 3 should be amended to read that the setback area is in the front yard. Staff recommended approval of the request based upon the findings and subject to the conditions as outlined in the staff report and because the Infill Lot Ordinance standards have been addressed by the applicant. One letter was received from Francis and Phyllis Maywhort, 16851 Bay View Drive, Sunset Beach, neighboring property owners. Mr. and Mrs. Maywhort opposed the request to exceed the 30 foot height limit, the construction of a 350 sq. ft. third story habitable area, and the variance to allow an 18-foot setback. No other written or verbal comments were received in response to the public notification. ZA Minutes 02/14/01 5 (OlzmO214) THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. LaVerne Michel, 2520 Manhattan Ave., Manhattan Beach, neighboring property owner, opposed the • request to exceed the 30 foot height limit and stated that the applicant should be required to comply with the established standards. Jan Herman, 16802 Channel Lane, neighboring property owner, opposed the request to exceed the 30 foot height limit, stated that the applicant should be required to comply with the guidelines, and asked where the finished floor would be located. Alicia Dose, 3242 Gilbert Drive, neighboring property owner, expressed concern for the request to exceed the height limit. Ms. Dose indicated that she required more facts concerning the project in order to thoroughly understand the request. Tom Burke, 16835 Bay View, Sunset Beach, neighboring property owner, opposed the request. Mr. Burke stated that the excess height would block sunlight and the reduced setback would cause boats on trailers to extend into the street since there are no sidewalks. He stated that he did not receive public notification from the City concerning this request. Rick Rivera, 16382 Nassau Lane, neighboring property owner, spoke in favor of the height restriction stating that the property for the proposed project is located on the lowest plateau. Carol Tink-Fox, 12831 Newport Ave., Ste A, Tustin, architect, responded to the public comments and • displayed a model of the proposed dwelling. Ms. Tink-Fox explained that the third story is contained within the 2nd story roof mass thereby complying with the City's zoning requirements. Ms. Tink-Fox presented detailed explanations as to how the requested setback variance complies with the zoning code requirements. She stated that the requested variance would allow two cars to park in the driveway and two in the garage thus meeting the intent of the code. Greg Endelman, 16413 Spirit Court, La Mirada, property owner, stated that they are sensitive to the concerns of the neighboring property owners. Mr. Endelman stated that they are seeking to rebuild an existing eyesore within the City's legal requirements. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, stated that an attempt was made to notify all property owners within the vicinity of the proposed project concerning today's hearing in accordance with the records provided by the county. ZA Minutes 02/14/01 6 (O1zm0214) Ms. Broeren asked staff to modify the findings and conditions as follows: Is 1. Findings For Approval for the CUP: a. Change Finding No. 1 to reflect a total building height of 30 feet. b. Add to Finding No. 1 that the project is in compliance with the Infill Lot Ordinance which requires that compatibility/privacy issues, such as window alignments, building pad height, and floor plan layout be addressed in the design of the project. c. Add to Finding No. 2 that the proposed third story consists of habitable area within the confines of the roof volume and the third story floor area is setback a minimum of five (5) feet from second floor exterior walls which minimizes massing such that the third story appears only as a dormer window from the front elevation. 2. Findings For Approval for the Variance: a. Finding No. 2, in the first sentence, delete the word location. b. Finding No. 2 reword the last sentence to state that the subject parcel is legal but substandard in size, and the strict application of the zoning code setback requirements would result in a reduction of first floor living area. Ms. Broeren stated that based upon the strong public interest and today's public comments, she was going to deny item b of the Conditional Use Permit thereby keeping the building height at 30 feet. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.00-79/COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO.00-26NARIANCE NO.00-26 WERE APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING MODIFIED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. ITEM B OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WAS DENIED. SHE 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 15303, Class 3 of the CEQA Guidelines, because the project site is located within an urbanized area and involves construction of one single-family residence. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 00-26: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 00-26 for the development project, as modified by conditions of approval, conforms with the General Plan and the Local Coastal Program. The proposed single family home conforms to the General Plan Land Use designation of Residential Low Density. The project will not impact public views or access to coastal resources. 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. The project meets all development regulations for the Low Density Residential zone with the exception of an 18-foot front entry garage setback in lieu of the required 20 feet, for which the applicant has requested a Variance to be considered concurrently with Coastal Development Permit 00-26. ZA Minutes 02/14/01 7 (01zm0214) 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 has been provided for the proposed development. 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 currently exist at the subject site. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 00-79: Conditional Use Permit No. 00-79 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of a 3-story single family residence with a total building height of 30 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 subject site is located in an urbanized area and several properties within the subject subdivision tract have been developed with 3-story structures. The project is in compliance with the Infill Lot Ordinance which requires that compatibility/privacy issues, such as window alignments, building pad height, and floor plan layout be addressed in the design of the project. 2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses which consist of single family and multi family dwellings along Bay View Drive which have been developed with 2-story and 3- story residential structures. The proposed third story consists of habitable area within the confines of the roof volume and the third story floor area is setback a minimum of five (5) feet from second floor exterior walls which minimizes massing such that the third story appears only as a dormer window from the front elevation. 3. The proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 00-79 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 with the exception of an 18-foot front entry garage setback in lieu of the required 20 feet, for which the applicant has requested a Variance. The project will comply with the development standards for the Residential Low Density (RL) zoning designation. 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 Medium Density Residential on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: a. Require that single family residential units be designed to convey a high level of quality and character. (LU 9.1.2) b. Avoid building materials, colors, and construction elements that visually dominate their setting and contrast significantly with the character of their neighborhood. (LU 9.1.2) The proposed single family residence is compatible with existing residential development on adjacent properties. The proposed materials, colors, and design elements do not visually dominate the setting and are consistent with the character of the existing neighborhood. 0 ZA Minutes 02/14/01 8 (01=0214) FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO.00-26: 1. The granting of Variance No. 00-21 to permit an 18-foot setback to a front entry garage in lieu of the required 20 feet will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. Similar setback variances have been previously granted within the immediate vicinity. 2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including its shape and size, 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 subject parcel is a legal but substandard in size, and the strict application of the zoning code setback requirements would result in a reduction of first floor living area. 3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. Variances to permit encroachments within required front yard setback areas have been previously granted to properties in the surrounding area. 4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to properties in the same zone classification. The site is located within a tract of single family and multi -family residences which have been developed with reduced front entry garage setbacks. The proposed development will result in a ten- percent reduction in the required setback and the proposed driveway shall provide adequate open parking areas for two additional vehicles. 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 (RL-7) on the subject property and the permitted single-family residential use of the site, as identified in the General Plan Land Use Schedule, because the development proposal involves the construction of a new single-family dwelling unit.
