CONTINUED FROM THE JANUARY 8, 2003 MEETING WITH THE PUBLIC
HEARING CLOSED)
APPLICANT/
PROPERTY OWNER: Martin Svanda, 3762 Seascape Drive, Huntington Beach, CA
92649
REQUEST: To allow an existing 5'-2" high combination block wall located
along the front property line in lieu of the maximum allowed height
of 3' -6" for fencing located within the 15-foot front yard setback.
LOCATION: 3762 Seascape Drive (southwest corner of Seascape Drive and
Sundance Lane)
PROJECT PLANNER: Rami Talleh
Rami Talleh, Staff Planner, displayed project plans and photographs stating the purpose, location,
zoning, and existing uses of the requested project. Staff stated that the item was continued from

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 02-51 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING MODIFIED FINDINGS AND
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 CEQA: •
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 consists of
minor alteration to an existing single family home.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 02-51:
Conditional Use Permit No. 02-51 for the construction of a 5'-2" high combination block wall
and wrought iron fence with zero (0') foot setback in lieu of maximum allowed height of
forty-two (42") inches within the fifteen (15') foot front yard 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. The proposed fence design, colors
and materials will compliment the existing neighborhood character and the existing single-
family home. The portion of the fence constructed with masonry is approximately two (2')
feet high (2'-6" less than the maximum code allowed height for fencing within the front yard)
allowing for visibility of the existing landscaped planter located immediately behind the fence.
In addition the height of the fence is reduced to a maximum of forty-two (42") within the
visibility triangle at the street intersection.
•
ZA Minutes - 01/15/03 2 (03zm0115)
• 2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because the fence is
proposed in a neighborhood with an established pattern of variable building setbacks.
3. The proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 02-14 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. In addition, any specific condition required for the proposed use in
the district in which it would be located. The HBZSO authorizes deviations from the fence
height restrictions subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
4. The granting of this conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is
consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Residential Low -Density (RL) on the
subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the
General Plan:
a. LU 9.2. l: Require that new development within existing residential neighborhoods be
compatible with existing structures, including:
- Maintenance of the predominant or median existing front yard setback and;
- Use of complementary building materials, colors, and forms, while allowing flexibility
for unique design solutions.
b. UD 1.3.5: Require that privately developed walls make a positive visual contribution to
. the public streetscape including provisions for plant material enhancements such as vine
pockets or decorative plantings, and design features such as sculptured or textured
masonry units.
The existing wall is designed with decorative features such as stucco colored to match the
house and wrought iron fencing. The portion of the fence constructed with masonry is
approximately two (2') feet high (2'-6" less than the maximum code allowed height for
fencing within the front yard) allowing for visibility of the existing landscaped planter located
immediately behind the fence.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL — CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 02-51:

PROJECT PLANNER:
Ron Santos
Ron Santos, Staff Planner, displayed project plans and photographs stating the purpose, location,
zoning, and existing uses of the requested project. Staff presented a review of the proposed
project and the suggested findings and conditions of approval as outlined in the staff report, as
well as modifications to the plans.
Staff recommended approval of the request based upon the findings and subject to the conditions
as outlined in the staff report. No written or verbal comments were received in response to the

ENTITLEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 02-09 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND 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, Class 3 and Section 15302, Class 2 of the CEQA Guidelines,
because the project consists of less than 10,000 square feet of new commercial space and
replacement of a commercial structure with a new structure of substantially the same size,
purpose and capacity, no significant hazardous materials are involved, public services and facilities
are available, and the site is not located in an environmentally sensitive area.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - ENTITLEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 02-09: •
Entitlement Plan Amendment No. 02-09 to amend Conditional Use Permit No. 01-
51/Variance No. 01-13 to permit: a) delayed construction of a pharmacy (Sav-On) drive-thru
window; b) a stucco -finished steel -framed fence up to eight -feet in height, in combination with
the existing freestanding masonry wall along the north and east property lines, in lieu of the
solid masonry wall required per Conditional Use Permit No. 01-51 conditions of approval; c)
re -design of the site entry driveway at the southeast corner of the site; d) an 11,000 sq. ft.
freestanding suite "E" pad building, in lieu of a 5,000 sq. ft. suite "E" and 6,900 sq. ft. suite
"F" attached to the proposed grocery store 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 proposed delayed construction of the previously
approved drive-thru pharmacy will have no detrimental impact since the drive-thru window is
not a necessary component of the project and the south elevation of the Sav-on building
(Phased Sav-on Elevation) will be architecturally enhanced. The proposed modified fence
design will have no detrimental impact since, based the acoustical analysis prepared by Medlin
& Associates (November 12, 2002), the proposed fence design provides equivalent noise
attenuation to the solid masonry fence. The proposed redesign of the site entry driveway and
building configuration improves the on -site circulation patterns.
2. The entitlement plan amendment will be compatible with surrounding uses because the project
represents an architectural upgrade to an existing retail shopping center, perimeter walls •
ZA Minutes - 01/15/03 6 (03zm0115)
•
separating the commercial project from adjacent residential uses will be enhanced, the truck
loading area behind the new grocery store includes a 12 foot high screen wall, landscaping
improvements are included throughout the site, non -conforming signs will be removed, a
right -turn lane from westbound Adams Avenue to northbound Brookhurst Street will be
dedicated, sufficient parking will be provided for all uses, and with restrictions on truck
deliveries, loading and unloading, no adverse noise impacts are anticipated.
3. The proposed Entitlement Plan Amendment No. 02-09 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, notwithstanding variances previously approved in conjunction
with Conditional Use Permit No. 01-51.
4. The granting of the entitlement plan amendment will not adversely affect the General Plan. It
is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of General Commercial on the subject
property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General
Plan:
a. Goal LU 1: Achieve development that maintains or improves the City's fiscal viability and
reflects economic demands while maintaining and improving the quality of life for the
current and future residents of Huntington Beach.
b. Policy LU 1.1.2: Promote development in accordance with the Economic Development
Element.
Goal LU 2: Ensure that development is adequately served by transportation
infrastructure, utility infrastructure, and public services.
d. Goal ED 1: Provide economic opportunities for present and future Huntington Beach
residents and businesses through employment and local fiscal stability.
e. Goal ED 2: Aggressively retain and enhance the existing commercial, industrial, and
visitor serving uses while attracting new uses to Huntington Beach.
The proposed renovation, remodel, and reconstruction of the existing Beachmont Plaza into
an enhanced commercial shopping complex promotes commercial development and economic
viability at a currently underutilized commercial property. The new development enhances the
City's general commercial opportunities, provides a shopping and service oriented destination
for Huntington Beach residents, and provides additional employment prospects. The site will
be served with adequate infrastructure, includes high quality architecture and fagade remodel,
provides public gathering places, and will include public art.

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 is covered by Environmental Impact Report No.
96-1/ Addendum Environmental Impact Report No. 96-1, will comply with all applicable
mitigation measures, and will not have a significant effect on the environment.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL —SITE PLAN REVIEW NO. 00-02:
1. Site Plan Review No. 00-02 to construct improvements associated with an existing municipal
domestic water well, including a 1,000 sq. ft. single -story building housing an electric motor
driven pumping system, chlorination and fluoridation facilities, storage space, perimeter
fencing, site paving and landscaping is consistent with the site's General Plan Land Use
Element designation of I-F2A-d-sp (Industrial — 0.75 maximum floor area ratio — design
overlay — specific plan) on the subject property and all applicable requirements of the
Municipal Code. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the
General Plan:
Goal U l: Provide a water supply system which is able to meet the projected water
demands; upgrade deficient systems and expand water treatment, supply, and distribution
facilities.
Objective U 1.1 A Provide for the construction of necessary pump and storage facilities
to ensure adequate water supply, and proper water system balance.
2. Site Plan Review No. 00-02 will be compatible with surrounding uses and 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. Construction and
operation of the proposed facility will not generate noise, odors, traffic, demand for parking
or other impacts incompatible with surrounding land uses. The proposed water well is
bounded on two sides (south and east) by industrially zoned land, planned for similar or more •
intense use. Residentially zoned properties located to the north and west will be buffered
from the proposed use respectively by a 75 foot wide railroad right-of-way and Rancho Road,
an arterial roadway with a 100-foot wide right-of-way; and existing and proposed block wall
fencing.
3. The proposed project will not adversely affect the Circulation Plan. Vehicular access to the
project site is provided via Rancho Road, an existing public street within the Specific Plan
area, in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Circulation Plan. No impacts to
parking will result due to the fact the proposed facility will be unmanned.
4. The proposed project will comply with the provisions of the McDonnell Centre Business Park
Specific Plan and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning
and Subdivision Ordinance, except with respect to standards modified by variances approved
concurrently.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO. 02-23:
The granting of Variance No. 02-23 to (a) construct a 468 sq. ft. well building with 27 linear
feet at a 5.25 ft. side yard setback in lieu of 10 ft; (b) construct water well improvements on a
site with 30 ft. of lot frontage in lieu of 250 ft.; and (c) allow a reduction in minimum overall
and perimeter site landscaping will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with
limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. The
ZA Minutes - 01/15/03 12 (03zm0115)
. proposed land use and project site is unique within the vicinity and zone classification, and
presents attributes exclusive to the project.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape,
location and 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 project site is an exceptionally small, irregularly shaped
parcel specifically created to accommodate a unique land use. The requested variances are
necessary to (a) ensure minimal use of land for public utilities, thereby maximizing the
preservation of private property, (b) provide adequate clearances for fire department site
access and egress and (c) ensure minimal expenditure of public funds for site maintenance
providing negligible public benefit.
The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights. The project serves the general public and industrial land uses in the vicinity
by providing potable water for fire fighting and domestic use. The requested variances are
necessary to accommodate a vital public land use on a parcel designed to maximize the
preservation of private property.
4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to property in the same zone classification and is consistent with the General Plan.
The requested setback variance will not be detrimental to surrounding property since the yard
• featuring the reduced setback abuts a 75-foot wide railroad right-of-way. This right-of-way
provides an adequate buffer between the proposed project and residential uses north of the
site.
The variance for a reduction in required landscaping will not be detrimental to surrounding
properties since perimeter fencing will screen views into the project site. Moreover, the
proposed facility will be unmanned and inaccessible to the public. Consequently, the
reduction in on -site landscaping will not have a significant adverse impact.
The variance to establish the use on a site with less than the required street frontage will not
be detrimental to surrounding properties since the proposed use is uniquely suited to the size
and configuration of the site, and is unique with respect to surrounding land uses.

ITEM 4• CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 02-65 (LOPEZ RESIDENCE) •
APPLICANT/
PROPERTY OWNER: Jeff Lopez, 519 Crest Avenue, Huntington Beach, CA 92648
REQUEST: To construct: a) a 375 sq. ft. first floor addition and a 755 sq. ft.
garage addition at existing non -conforming side yard setbacks of
four feet in lieu of five feet; b) a six-foot tall wood fence within the
rear yard setback of a through lot, in lieu of a maximum height of
three-foot six -inches. The project also includes construction of a
1,615 sq. ft., 2nd story addition in conformance with applicable
setbacks.
LOCATION: 519 Crest Avenue (southwest of Crest Avenue, east of 13th Street)
PROJECT PLANNER: Ron Santos
Ron Santos, Staff Planner, displayed project plans and photographs stating the purpose, location,
zoning, and existing uses of the requested project. Staff presented a review of the proposed
project and the suggested findings and conditions of approval as outlined in the staff report. Staff
recommended modifying the suggested ten -foot minimum setback in suggested Finding No. 2 as
follows:
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses. The proposed four- •
foot side yard setbacks match or exceed one of the existing side yard setbacks of each of
the dwellings on the adjoining properties. The proposed fence, as conditioned, will
maintain a five-foot minimum setback, consistent with the minimum front yard setback
allowed for a side -entry garage, and will traverse less than 40 percent of the width of the
lot. Consequently, the property will maintain a landscaped setback from 13th Street
compatible with the typical front yard setbacks along the greater part of 13th Street within
the subject block. The proposed project is designed consistent with the City's Urban
Design Guidelines and features architecture compatible with other properties in the
neighborhood.
Staff recommended approval of the request based upon the findings and subject to the conditions
as outlined in the staff report and with the modification as recommended above. No written or
verbal comments were received in response to the public notification. One inquiry into the project
was received at the zoning counter.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Jeff Lopez, 519 Crest Avenue, applicant, approached and presented photographs. Mr. Lopez
spoke in support of the request and presented plans reflecting three- and five-foot setbacks as
alternatives to bring the proposed project into compliance with the setback requirements.
Mr. Lopez addressed landscaping requirements and urged the Zoning Administrator's approval.

Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, engaged in a discussion with the applicant concerning
removal and replacement of trees, material for the fence, and shrubbery.
Bob Schmeski, 739 13th Street, neighboring property owner, asked what the setbacks to the
garage and second story are proposed for this project.
Steve Marquardt, 735 13`h Street, neighboring property owner, approached and reviewed the
plans, in particular the setbacks. Mr. Marquardt further asked what the process is if an existing
fence in the neighborhood is not in compliance with code.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Ms. Broeren explained the City's Code Enforcement procedure to Mr. Marquardt.
Ms. Broeren stated that the proposed project is aesthetically an improvement to the
neighborhood. She stated that the City typically requires a 15-foot setback, but this particular
project has the benefit of a parkway.
Ms. Broeren stated that she was going to approve the request with the modification to Finding
No. 2 as recommended by staff. She asked staff to modify Condition No. La to reflect a five-foot
setback as follows:
Modify Condition No. 1.a:
a. The proposed six-foot tall wood fence shall maintain a five-foot minimum setback from
the northwest (13th Street) property line.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 02-65 APPROVED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING MODIFIED FINDINGS AND
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 CEQA:
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 consists of an
addition to an existing single-family residence and construction of a minor accessory structure.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 02-65:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 02-65 to construct: a) a 375 sq. ft. first floor addition and a 755
sq. ft. garage addition at existing non -conforming side yard setbacks of four feet in lieu of five
feet; and b) a six-foot tall wood fence within the rear yard setback of a through lot, in lieu of a
ZA Minutes - 01/15/03 21 (03=0115)
maximum height of three-foot six -inches, 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. All portions of the proposed addition to be constructed at
the existing non -conforming side yard setback will be on the first floor and substantially
screened from adjacent residences by a six-foot tall fence. In addition, the greater part of the
addition proposed at a non -conforming setback consists of a garage, which minimally impacts
privacy at adjoining properties. The proposed project will increase the value of the subject
property and properties in the vicinity.
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses. The proposed four -foot
side yard setbacks match or exceed one of the existing side yard setbacks of each of the
dwellings on the adjoining properties. The proposed fence, as conditioned, will maintain a
five-foot minimum setback, consistent with the minimum front yard setback allowed for a
side -entry garage, and will traverse less than 40 percent of the width of the lot. Consequently,
the property will maintain a landscaped setback from 13`" Street compatible with the typical
front yard setbacks along the greater part of 13'h Street within the subject block. The
proposed project is designed consistent with the City's Urban Design Guidelines and features
architecture compatible with other properties in the neighborhood.
3. The proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 02-65 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. The HBZSO authorizes additions to nonconforming structures .
proposed to be constructed at the existing nonconforming yard setbacks, and fences exceeding
42-inches in height within the required setback, with approval of a conditional use permit.
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 RL-7 (Residential Low Density — 7 units
per acre) on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and
policies of the General Plan:
L.U. 7.1.2: Require that development be designed to account for the unique
characteristics of project sites and objectives for community character as appropriate.
L.U. 9.2.1: Require that all new residential developments within existing residential
neighborhoods be compatible with existing structures, including the maintenance of the
predominant or median existing front yard setbacks.
Conditional Use Permit No. 02-65 accounts for the subject properties existing non-
conforming side yard setbacks and non -conforming lot width, while maintaining architectural
compatibility with the neighborhood.
The proposed fence will allow the establishment of a private yard area consistent with that
typically available to owners of single-family dwellings, while maintaining the predominant
setbacks found in the immediate area.

APPEALED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITHIN TEN (10) CALENDAR
DAYS.
FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA:
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 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines as it is infill development consistent
with General Plan Land Use designation of RMH (Residential Medium -High Density), and is
located in an urban area which is developed with similar residential uses.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL — VARIANCE NO. 02-15:
Variance No. 02-15 to permit the construction of two (2) three-story single-family homes
with a height of approximately 30 feet in lieu of the maximum height of 25 feet allowed within
the first 25 feet of the lot 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. Other properties with similar grade differentials, exceeding three feet in height,
have been allowed to exceed the maximum height of 25 feet within the first 25 feet of the lot.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including a grade
® differential in excess of six feet, 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 majority of properties under the same zoning classification
generally have a grade differential of three feet or less, which allows development of a second
story within the first 25 feet of the lot. The excessive grade differential on the subject
properties places a development constraint that is not experienced by the majority of other
properties under the same zoning classification because second story development is not
possible within the first 25 feet of the property, thereby depriving the subject properties of
privileges enjoyed by other similar properties.
The proposed Variance No. 02-15 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 with the exception of a maximum height of 25 feet within the first 25 feet of
the subject lots, based on the existing grade differential in excess of six feet.
4. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with
the Land Use Element designation of Residential Medium -High Density on the subject
property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General
Plan:
a. Policy LU 9.1.2: Require that single-family residential units be designed to convey a high
level of quality and character.
ZA Minutes - 01/15/03 27 (03zm0115)
b. Policy LU 9.2.1: Require that all new residential development within existing residential
neighborhoods (i.e., infill) be compatible with existing structures.
Policy LU 9.2.1: Require that the use of building heights, grade elevations, orientation,
and bulk are compatible with the surrounding developments.
The proposed residences incorporate distinct architecture between the two plans and use a
variety of quality materials including the use of stucco, wood siding, stone veneer, and
decorative window treatments. The elevations, building orientation, and bulk will be
compatible with surrounding properties which are predominately residential and developed
with a similar grade differential.
