concerns. Ms. Broeren stated that if a solid wall is approved, plant material with height would be
required to soften the wall. Discussion ensued concerning a decorative wall with cap.
Ms. Broeren asked staff to modify Finding No. 1 of the Variance in order to be specific about the
nature of the variance. She stated that she was going to approve the proposed project with the
following modifications:
Findings_for Approval — Conditional Use Permit:
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses. With the conditions imposed
the proposed walls and parking area will be designed in a manner to minimize impacts to adjacent
properties. Furthermore, the property will be developed with landscape parkways along Delaware
and Seventeenth Streets to soften the street scene.
Findings for Approval — Variance:
The granting of Variance No. 01-11 for exceptions to planned unit development (PUD)
requirements for: a) driveway parking for a minimum 50% of the units; and b) minimum 1/3 of the
roof area within a multi -story, multi -unit building be one story less in height than the remaining
portion of the structure's roof area, will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with
limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. The
project will be provided with the required number of open parking spaces. In addition, the project
design features variations in the building roofline, and offsets in the building elevation. •
Conditions of Approval — Tentative par* rl Map:
La Lot lines on Lot 3 and 4 shall be setback a minimum of seven (7) feet from the Delaware
Street right of way.
Lb Lot lines bounding the private entry areas for Lots 1 and 3 along Seventeenth Street shall be

TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2001-126/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 01-41NARIANCE NO. 01-11 WERE APPROVED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING MODIFIED FINDINGS AND MODIFIED
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. 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 a small multi -family project
with less than six units.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2001-126:
1. Tentative Parcel Map No. 2001-126 for a four lot subdivision is consistent with the General Plan
Land Use Element designation of Medium Density Residential on the subject property, and
applicable provisions of the Code except for the variances approved concurrently with this
application. The four unit project complies with the allowable density for the site.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The proposed 14,281 sq. ft.
parcel will accommodate the development of a four -unit townhouse project, which will be
compatible with existing development in the immediate area. The surrounding neighborhood
consists of multi -family residential uses including apartments and condominiums, and a church.
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.
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. All necessary
easements for public access will be provided with the creation of the new parcels and development
of the site.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 01-41:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 01-41 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the four
unit townhouse project with buildings greater than 25 ft. in height, and a six ft. high wall within
seven feet of the front setback 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. Based upon the conditions imposed, the proposed building height and wall height
will not impact the surrounding properties.
ZA Minutes 09/19/01 15 (O1Zm0919)
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses. With the conditions imposed
the proposed walls and parking area will be designed in a manner to minimize impacts to adjacent
properties. Furthermore, the property will be developed with landscape parkways along Delaware
and Seventeenth Streets to soften the street scene.
3. The proposed conditional use permit 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, except for any variances approved concurrently. The proposed project will be provided
with the required number of off-street parking spaces and will comply with all height and open
space requirements.
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 multi -family residential projects be designed to convey a high level of quality and
distinctive neighborhood character. (Policy LU 9.1.3)
b. Include separate and well-defined entries to convey the visual character of individual identity
for each residential unit. (Policy LU 9.1.3,c)
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO. 01-11:
The granting of Variance No. 01-11 for exceptions to planned unit development (PUD)
requirements for: a) driveway parking for a minimum 50% of the units; and b) minimum 1/3 of the
roof area within a multi -story, multi -unit building be one story less in height than the remaining
portion of the structure's roof area, will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with
limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. The
project will be provided with the required number of open parking spaces. In addition, the project
design features variations in the building roofline, and offsets in the building elevation.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, location
or surroundings, 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 is triangular in shape and is surrounded by two streets restricting
design of the site layout.
3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights. The variances will allow for the design of two, duplex buildings, with ample on -
site guest parking in compliance with the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance.
4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
property in the same zone classification. The project will be provided with the required number of
off-street parking spaces. Furthermore, the four units are separated into two, duplex buildings and
are designed with massing offsets and other architectural features. •
ZA Minutes 09/19/01 16 (01zm0919)
