A MOTION WAS MADE BY HARDY, SECONDED BY KOKAL TO APPROVE COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 02-02 WITH SPECIAL PERMIT NO.02-07 WITH FINDINGS AND MODIFIED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Mandic, Kerins, Hardy, Shomaker, Kokal, Porter NOES: None ABSENT: Livengood ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 02-02 FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CE 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 Section 15301, Class 1 of the CEQA Guidelines, because the proposed improvements involve repairs and minor alterations to existing facilities, including the Lifeguard Headquarters and Jr. Lifeguard Headquarters buildings, and replacement of the concession and restroom buildings. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO.02-02: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 02-02 for improvements to the Huntington Beach City Beach "South Beach Phase II" which include reconstruction or resurfacing of the existing beach parking lot, improvements to landscaping, bicycle and pedestrian paths, plazas, and the construction of an approximate 12,000 sq. ft. Lifeguard Headquarters building, an approximate 6,300 sq. ft. Jr. Lifeguard Headquarters building, and three restroom buildings, conforms with the General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program. The project provides improved access to the beach and recreational facilities without impacting coastal views. 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 except for any special permits approved concurrently. With the exception of the reduced landscape requirements, the proposed project will comply with all applicable zoning standards. (02p=0528) PC Minutes May 28, 2002 Page 4 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. The proposed improvements provide all necessary utilities and services to the site. 4. The development conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. The project will improve access to coastal resources and will enhance coastal views from PCH and surrounding properties. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL — SPECIAL PERMIT NO. 02-07: The granting of a special permit (pursuant to Section 4.1.02 of the DTSP) in conjunction with Coastal Development Permit No. 02-02 is for a deviation from the requirement of providing one, 24-inch box tree for every 10 parking spaces throughout the parking area. The project is designed with the clustering of trees within the parking areas, plazas, and entry points to the beach instead of providing a raised landscape tree well every ten stalls throughout the parking lot. The overall number of code -required trees will be provided within the project area. The Special Permit results in a greater benefit to the project by promoting a better living environment due to the clustering of trees which will minimize maintenance costs, and allow the parking lot to be utilized for RV camping during the winter months without obstructions of raised planters or trees. The elimination of raised planters and trees throughout the parking lot will also improve visitor access from the parking lot to the beach, especially when carrying equipment between parked vehicles. Furthermore, the project is designed to be consistent with the Phase I component of the beach improvement project. 2. The granting of a Special Permit will provide better land planning techniques with maximum use of aesthetically pleasing types of architecture, landscaping, site layout and design. The clustering of the palm trees will allow use of the parking lot for RV camping during the winter months without obstructions of raised planters or trees. 3. The granting of a Special Permit will not be detrimental to the general health, welfare, safety, and convenience of the neighborhood or City in general, nor detrimental or injurious to the value of property or improvements of the neighborhood or of the City in general. Based upon the conditions imposed, the project site will be provided with the required landscaping and tree count. The clustering of the trees will not impact surrounding properties. 4. The granting of a Special Permit will be consistent with objectives of the Downtown Specific Plan in achieving a development adapted to the terrain and compatible with the surrounding environment. The deviation to landscaping requirements will not impact the topography of the parking lot, and will not impact the surrounding properties. 5. The granting of a Special Permit will be consistent with the policies of the Coastal Element of the City's General Plan and the California Coastal Act and also complies with State and Federal Law. The reduced landscaping requirement will improve (02pcm0528) PC Minutes May 28, 2002 Page 5 coastal access and views to the beach by clustering palm trees within the project area.
