Ron Santos, Staff Planner, displayed project plans, color elevations, photographs, a materials
board, and site plan renderings (for conceptual purposes). Staff stated the purpose, location,
zoning, and existing uses of the requested project. Staff presented a review of the proposed
project as well as the modifications to the site plan, floor plans and elevations.
Staff recommended approval of the request based upon the findings and subject to the conditions
as outlined in the staff report.
Staff stated that an environmental assessment was completed and recommended adoption of the
Mitigated Negative Declaration. Staff presented a review of the acoustic, traffic and noise
studies.
Staff stated that an Environmental Assessment was noticed and was available for public review
and comment for a period of twenty (20) days. Comments received were as follows:
• A letter dated February 8, 2003, from A.T. Hendricker, Chairman, Environmental Board,
City of Huntington Beach, concerning waste reduction, parking spaces, and drainage.
• A letter dated February 7, 2003, from Terry A. Dolton concerning limitations to be placed

Staff recommended approval of the request based upon the findings and subject to the conditions
as outlined in the staff report. No other written or verbal comments were received in response to
the public notification.
Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, and staff engaged in discussions concerning: •
• The truck loading pattern and access.
• The suggested height of the sound attenuation wall resulting from the noise study.
• The lack of transition in the wall's drop in height.
• Incorporation of a condition dictating the aesthetics of the wall.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
THERE WERE NO PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Ms. Broeren confirmed with the applicant that they have reviewed the suggested conditions of
approval as outlined in the staff report. Discussion ensued concerning the intent of the property
owner and the aesthetic concerns related to the drop in the wall.
Ms. Broeren asked staff to revise the staff report by incorporating Mitigated Negative Declaration
No. 01-05 into the suggested findings for approval in place of Environmental Assessment
No. 01-05. She further asked staff to add the following to Condition No. 1.a:

MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 01-05/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 01-24NARIANCE NO. 02-11 WERE APPROVED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING 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 APPROVAL — MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATON NO. 01-05:
The Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 01-05 has been prepared in compliance with
Article 6 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. It was advertised
and available for a public comment period of twenty (20) days. Comments received during
the comment period were considered by the Zoning Administrator prior to action on the
Mitigated Negative Declaration and Conditional Use Permit No. 01-24 and Variance
No. 02-11.
2. Mitigation measures, incorporated into the attached conditions of approval, avoid or reduce
the project's effects to a point where no significant effect on the environment will occur.
3. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Zoning Administrator
that the project, as mitigated through the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit
® No. 01-24 and Variance No. 02-11 will have a significant effect on the environment.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 01-24:
Conditional Use Permit No. 01-24 to (a) construct a 103,748 sq. ft. tilt -up concrete industrial
building on a 5.21 acre undeveloped site; (b) allow 22 compact parking stalls (10% of total
parking provided); (c) allow a 10-ft. tall, 75-ft. long sound attenuation wall along the rear
(east) property line; and (d) development on a site with a grade differential (prior to rough
grading) of greater than three-ft. between the highest and lowest site elevations 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 project, as
conditioned will not generate traffic, noise or other impacts at levels inconsistent with the
industrial zoning and surrounding land uses.
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses. The proposed industrial
project will be constructed on an industrially zoned site surrounded by industrial uses, in
conformance with applicable development standards, with the exception of a minor building
height variance.
3. The proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 01-24 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, except for any variances approved concurrently. With
ZA Minutes 02/19/03 3 (03zm0219)
the exception of the requested height variance, the proposed project will comply with all other
development standards, including requirements for parking, landscaping, building setbacks and
maximum floor area ratio.
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 I-172-d (Industrial — 0.5 maximum floor
area ratio — design overlay) on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the
following goals and policies of the General Plan:
Policy LU 12.1.4: Require that new and recycled industrial projects be designed and
developed to achieve a high level of quality, distinctive character, and be compatible with
existing uses.
Policy LU 12.1.5: Require that new and recycled industrial structures and sites be
designed to convey visual interest and character and to be compatible with adjacent uses.
Policy L 1.9: Require that heavy truck and vehicle access be controlled to minimize
potential impacts on adjacent residential neighborhoods and commercial districts.
The proposed project is designed in conformance with the City's Urban Design Guidelines,
including features such as screened loading areas, shared driveway access, separation of truck
traffic and loading areas from main building entries, decorative site entry paving, and building
fagade and roof articulation. In addition, the conditional use permit includes mitigation
measures which minimize potential noise impacts on adjacent residential properties, including
construction of a sound attenuation wall and restrictions on truck access. •
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO. 02-11:
The granting of Variance No. 02-11 to allow portions of the proposed 103,748 sq. ft.
industrial building to exceed the 40-ft. height limit by up to 5.17 feet will not constitute a
grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and
under an identical zone classification, since the proposed building will maintain an average
height which is compatible with that of other buildings in the vicinity and unique
circumstances existing which justify the variance.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including topography,
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 variance is requested in order to achieve compliance with a
requirement applicable to properties in Flood Zone "A", which requires the lowest floor to be
elevated three feet above highest existing adjacent grade.
3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights. The proposed variance is necessary to allow construction of a building with
0
ZA Minutes 02/19/03 4 (03=0219)
an adequate ceiling height to accommodate an industrial use and to achieve conformance with
the City of Huntington Beach Urban Design Guidelines for industrial buildings, while
minimizing the potential for significant flood damage.
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,
since the proposed building will maintain a 60-foot minimum setback from the side and rear
property lines, and is separated from residential properties to the rear (east) by an 80-foot
railroad right-of-way. In addition, the variance will help to reduce the potential for on -site
flood damage by providing for construction of the finish floor above the base flood elevation.
Any potentially negative visual impacts resulting from the additional building height will be
offset by the positive visual impact of the variation in roof line.

ITEM 2: VARIANCE NO. 03-02 (BUHMAN RESIDENCE)
APPLICANT: Tim Francis, 15761 Hummingbird Lane, Huntington Beach, CA
92649
PROPERTY OWNER: Scott and Kesha Buhman, 15642 Hummingbird Lane, Huntington
Beach, CA 92649
REQUEST: To construct an 860 sq. ft. addition to an existing single-family
dwelling at a 6-ft. 4-in. rear -yard setback in lieu of 10 feet.
LOCATION: 15642 Hummingbird Lane (northeast corner of Hummingbird Lane
and Dovewood Drive)
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 approval of the request based upon the findings and subject to the conditions
as outlined in the staff report and because of the unique circumstances related to the proposed
site. Staff stated that other departments within the City recommended no unique conditions. No
written or verbal comments were received in response to the public notification.
0
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
THERE WERE NO PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, stated that she was going to approve the request given
the fact that the proposed site is adjacent to industrial and is situated on a fairly large odd shaped
lot.
VARIANCE NO. 03-02 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.
ZA Minutes 02/19/03 15 (03zm0219)
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 15301 and 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines, because the project
consists of a minor addition to an existing single-family dwelling involving negligible or no
expansion of an existing use, and a minor alteration in land use limitations not resulting in any
changes in land use or density.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO. 03-02:
The granting of Variance No. 03-02 to construct an 860 sq. ft. addition to an existing single-
family dwelling at a 6-ft. 4-in. rear -yard setback in lieu of 10 feet will not constitute a grant of
special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under
an identical zone classification. The proposed variance will allow for only a minor
encroachment (less than 40 s.f.) into a portion of the required rear yard area. The property
will maintain a rear yard which on average exceeds the minimum required and which is
comparable and compatible with other properties in the vicinity.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including the 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 an
identical zone classification. Development on the subject property is uniquely constrained by
the irregularly shaped lot. In addition, the subject property's location adjacent to an industrial
land use presents unique circumstances which support approval of the requested variance.
3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights. The proposed variance facilitates the logical expansion of the existing
dwelling while preserving usable open space in the rear yard based on consideration to the
existing floor plan and the relationship of rooms in the dwelling.
4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to property in the same zone classification, since the proposed variance will allow
only a minor encroachment (less than 40 sq. ft.) into a required yard, adjacent to an industrial
land use. In addition, the proposed addition is limited to the first floor and consequently will
not result in impacts related to loss of views, privacy or sunlight on adjoining properties.
5. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with
the Land Use Element designation of RL (Residential Low Density) on the subject property In
addition it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan:
LU 7.1.2 Require that development be designed to account for the unique characteristics
of project sites and objectives for community character.
•
ZA Minutes 02/19/03 16 (03zm0219)
LU 9.2.1 Require that all new residential development within existing residential
neighborhoods be compatible with existing structures, including the maintenance of
privacy on abutting residences.
The proposed addition is designed to account for the irregular shape of the subject property and
serves to maintain objectives for useable yard area in single-family residential neighborhoods. In
addition, the proposed addition will maintain required setbacks from property lines which adjoin
residences. The requested variance allows for a reduced setback from a property line which
adjoins a parking lot for an industrial use.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL — VARIANCE NO. 03-02:
1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated January 2, 2003 shall be the
conceptually approved layout.

service and meter shall be abandoned per Water Division standards. A new domestic
water service and meter shall be installed per Water Division standards and sized to meet
the minimum requirements set by the California Plumbing Code (CPC). The new
domestic water service shall be a minimum of one inch in size. (PW)
c. One 36-inch box tree shall be planted within the front setback area, per Section 232.08 of

APPLICANT/
PROPERTY OWNER: Philip L. Penney, 10072 Crailet Drive, Huntington Beach, CA
92646
REQUEST: To construct a 6-ft. tall freestanding block wall within 3 ft. of the
required 15 ft. front yard setback, in lieu of a maximum height of 42
inches.
LOCATION: 10072 Crailet Drive (south side of Crailet Drive, east of Brookhurst
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
stated that the subject site is located adjacent to a school access way, and a letter of support was
received from the school district.
Staff recommended approval of the request based upon the findings and subject to the conditions
as outlined in the staff report and with the suggested modifications to the project plans. Two
telephone calls were received from neighboring property owners in opposition to the proposed
• project. A petition with 19 signatures in support of the proposed project was also received. No
other written or verbal comments were received in response to the public notification.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Philip L. Penney, 10072 Crailet Drive, applicant, spoke in support of the proposed project, stating
that the block wall is for purposes of providing privacy and to alleviate problems created by the
school access way. Mr. Penney urged the Zoning Administrator's approval of the request as
submitted reflecting that the block wall be within 3 feet of the front property line.
Mrs. Penney, 10072 Crailet Drive, applicant, stated that they are tired of having to clean messes
created by passing dogs and pedestrians.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, questioned Finding No. 1, and a general discussion
ensued with staff.
Ms. Broeren explained the City's intent as related to this request. She explained that the reason
for the 40% landscaping/greenery in a front yard is to avoid a walled look throughout the City.
She acknowledged that there are some cases where walls have been built without a permit or prior
ZA Minutes 02/19/03 19 (03zm0219)
to the current City codes. Ms. Broeren cited examples in which the City has made exceptions to
the current code, such as certain circumstances existing in the downtown area.
Ms. Broeren stated that she was going to approve the request as recommended by staff. She
asked staff to modify Finding No. 1 as follows:
Conditional Use Permit No. 03-02 to construct a 64 tall freestanding block wall within 6 ft.
of the front property line, in lieu of a maximum height of 42 inches within the required 15 ft.
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, as conditioned will not obstruct significant views and is
compatible with the fence enclosing the property to the west. Moreover, the proposed fence
is not located along a common property line with another residential property and extends
across less than 30% of the width of the lot.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 03-02 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING MODIFIED FINDINGS AND
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. SHE STATED THAT THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE
