FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA:
The Planning Commission 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 Class 1, Section 15301 which
exempts minor alterations to existing facilities involving negligible expansion of
use beyond what is existing as well as Class 11, Section 15311 which exempts
minor accessory structures appurtenant to existing facilities. Moreover, several
(01pcm1127)
PC Minutes

Page 14
of the proposed structures are intended to enclose existing operations such as
the manure bin and maintenance areas to improve water quality and the
environment.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL — ENTITLEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT NO.98-12:
Entitlement Plan Amendment No. 98-12 for the establishment, maintenance and
operation of the proposed addition to the equestrian center consisting of the
following:
• 20 pipe corrals (288 sf each);
• three office trailers with patio cover (480 sf service center, 720 sf horse
show office; 240 sf therapeutic riding school trailer);
• a 192 sf storage trailer;
• four tacks rooms (144 sf each);
• three new wash racks combined with three existing relocated wash racks
(96 sf each);
• two roofed manure bins (2,295 and 2,100 so;
• three farrier stations (288 sf each);
• one roofed storage and maintenance area (3,800 so;
• six cross ties (48 sf each);
• a pony ride area on the north side of the main office;
• remodel of a portion of the existing office for use as a light food and
beverage service area with outdoor seating in the upper barn/courtyard
area; and
• various water quality management plan improvements including among
others construction of a desiltation basin near the southeast comer of the
site, conversion of the existing desiltation basin on the northwest comer
of the site into a larger infiltration basin, installation of a gravel desilting
bed, connecting the wash racks into the sewer line, and providing erosion
control
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 project represents a minor addition in relation to the
existing facility and would not noticeably alter the established character of
the equestrian center. The twenty corrals represent a negligible increase in
land use intensity from the previously existing 400 horse stalls. The
remaining structures are accessory in nature. The new structures are similar
to what already exists at the site in terms of design, colors, materials, and
function. The center is located within Central Park and is adequately
buffered from other land uses. All the proposed water quality improvements
will benefit the community by assuring that the equestrian center does not
contribute to water pollution.
The entitlement plan amendment will be compatible with surrounding uses
because it involves the addition of structures which are similar to what
already exists at the equestrian center in terms of design, colors, materials,
(01p=1127)
PC Minutes
November 27, 2001
Page 15
and function. The addition of 20 corrals for a total of.420.horses on site is a
minimal increase in land use intensity. The remaining structures to be
added are accessory in nature and provide more amenities for users of the
facility. .
The proposed.entitlement plan amendment 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 the horse.trailer parking variance concurrently approved.
The project meets or exceeds all other minimum development standards
including setbacks, height, vehicular parking, and required equestrian
amenities such as arena space and number of wash racks.
The granting of the entitlement plan amendment will not adversely affect the
General Plan. It is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of OS-
P (Open Space — Park) on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent
with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: -
a. LU 7.1.1— Accommodate existing uses and new development in
accordance with the Land Use and Density Schedules.
b: LU 8 — Achieve a pattern of land uses that preserves, enhances, and
establishes a distinct identity for the City's neighborhoods, corridors, and
centers.
- c. LU 9.4 — Provide for.the inclusion of recreational,- institutional, religious,
educational and service uses that support resident needs within
residential neighborhoods.
d. RCS 3 — Develop park sites to provide diverse recreational and sports
facilities that meet the residents' and visitors' active and passive
recreational needs.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO.0046:
1. The granting of Variance No: 00-16 to allow a reduction in the number of
required horse trailer parking spaces from 42 to six will not constitute a grant
of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the
vicinity and under an identical zone classification. Parking variances have
been.granted to other properties citywide where it was demonstrated that
(01p=1127)
PC Minutes
November 27, 2001
Page 16
adequate parking would still be provided after permitting a reduction in the
code required parking.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property,
including operational characteristics, 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
applicant has demonstrated that adequate horse trailer parking for boarders,
guests, and horse shows/special events will be provided without maintaining
all 42 code required parking spaces on site. The variance will allow the
applicant to use the site more effectively based on demands placed by
users.
3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or
more substantial property rights. Slope on portions of the site limits the
amount of space that can be readily developed. Due to site constraints, it
would be a hardship on the applicant to maintain a large trailer parking lot
when historically there has not been a demand for all the required trailer
parking spaces. The variance will allow the applicant to maintain more
amenities such as arenas which are in greater demand.
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
applicant has demonstrated through a parking survey as well as information
on historic demand and operational characteristics that adequate horse
trailer parking will be provided with the six spaces proposed in conjunction
with the use of other parking areas throughout Central Park during horse
shows and special events.
5. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is
'still consistent with the Land Use' Element designation of OS-P (Open Space
— Park) because the resulting development will still be in conformance with
the permitted uses in that designation.

A MOTION WAS MADE BY KERINS,- SECOND BY SHOMAKER, TO
APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.01-46 WITH FINDINGS AND
MODIFIED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Mandic, Kerins, Hardy, Shomaker, Livengood, Kokal, Borden
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO.01-46
FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA:
The Planning Commission 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 Class 1 Section 15301 of the
CEQA Guidelines, because minor amendments to existing structures are not
anticipated to have any negative environmental impacts and are exempt from
further review.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.01.46:
Conditional Use Permit No. 01=46 for the establishment, maintenance and
operation of the automobile sales and repair facility 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 improvements to access
from Beach Boulevard will contribute to a more efficient roadway and
circulation system, no exterior public address system will be permitted, the
proposed auto repair will occur entirely within an enclosed building, and auto
storage will serve as an adequate buffer to the adjacent residential units to
the west.
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because
- an existing auto dealership is located to the north, other surrounding
properties along Beach Boulevard are all automotive related businesses,
and the residential uses to the east will be buffered by auto storage on the
rear one-half of the lot.
3. The proposed automobile sales and repair facility 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
(01p=1127)
PC Minutes

Page 29
condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be
located. No exceptions to development standards are requested as part of
this application. A total of 36 parking stalls will be provided and 6% of the
site will be landscaped with a minimum 10 ft. wide planter along Beach
Boulevard.
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 CG-
F1 (General Commercial — 0.35 FAR), Subarea G. The proposed project is
consistent with this designation and the goals and objectives of the City's
General Plan as follows:
LU 10.1 Provide for the continuation of existing and the development of a
diversity of retail and service commercial uses that are oriented to the needs
of local residences, serve the surrounding region, serve visitors to the City,
and capitalize on Huntington Beach's recreational resources.
LU 10.1.12 Require that Commercial General uses be designed and
developed to achieve a high level of quality, distinctive character, and
compatibility with existing uses and development including the consideration
of incorporation of site landscape, particularly along street frontages and in
parking lots.
ED 2.4.3 Encourage the expansion of the range of goods and services
provided in Huntington Beach to accommodate the needs of all residents in
Huntington Beach and the market area.
The application allows for the establishment of a new full service automobile
dealer within the City. The lot will provide the opportunity for automobile
sales display, repair, and storage, without impacting surrounding uses. The
design of the lot will be compatible with other automobile dealerships in the
area by providing sufficient landscaping along the street frontage and within
the parking area.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL — CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.01-46:
