ZA Minutes 04/02/03 2 (03zm0402)
® 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 it involves negligible
expansion of use beyond that previously approved.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 03-11:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 03-11 to establish the sale of alcoholic beverages at an existing
5,587 sq. ft. restaurant and patio area 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 sale of alcoholic beverages will be incidental to an
existing restaurant facility. The outdoor dining area will be separated from the adjoining
sidewalk by a 36-inch high barrier to protect pedestrians and to prevent the outdoor dining
area and alcohol service from expanding beyond the approved area.
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because restaurants with
alcohol sales and outdoor dining are common to the downtown commercial district and
consistent with the desired character for the downtown commercial district. The proposed
use is subject to conditions of approval intended to ensure impacts to surrounding properties
® are minimized. The outdoor dining area will be surrounded with a 36-inch high barrier to
ensure no impacts to the adjacent public sidewalks, loading zones, bus stops, and benches.
L iJ
3. The proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 01-06 will comply with the provisions of the base
district and other applicable provisions in the Downtown Specific Plan, City of Huntington
Beach Urban Design Guidelines, and any specific condition required for the proposed use in
the district in which it would be located including parking and setbacks.
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 MV-176/25-sp-pd (Mixed Use Vertical —
2.0 max floor area ratio — specific plan — pedestrian overlay) on the subject property. In
addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan and Local
Coastal Program:
LU 15.2.2: Require that uses in the pedestrian overlay district be sited and designed to
enhance and stimulate pedestrian activity along the sidewalks.
Assure that areas between building storefronts and public sidewalks are
visually and physically accessible to pedestrians.
LCP/ DTSP: Main Street should be a lively, active commercial district at the street level.
The first floor of developments along Main Street should be commercial,
with open-air establishments encouraged.

following goals and objectives of the City's General Plan:
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 incorporation of site landscaping, particularly
along street frontages and in parking lots.
ED 2.4.3 Encourage the expansion of the range of goods and services provided in
