Richard Batistelli spoke regarding the development of neighborhoods in the City and
asked that the Harbour area be included in the discussion of neighborhood compatibility.
George Mason, resident of southeast Huntington Beach, spoke about residential
remodeling projects completed in the last few years and stated his concerns with some
unusual exteriors of remodeled homes. He referred to his Late Communication, which
was announced earlier by the Assistant City Clerk, and asked Council to carefully
consider the issue. Mr. Mason requested Council publish guidelines for residents to use
in remodeling projects. He suggested Councilmembers review the Rancho Palos
Verdes handbook, which he said is available online, and asked that a committee of
residents and staff be appointed to review the issue.
John Roe, member of Huntington Seacliff Homeowners' Association, spoke regarding
the City's original infill ordinance. He asked if there is an existing maximum floor area
ratio (FAR), if a remodeling project encompassing less than 50% falls within the infill
ordinance, how adjacent property owners are defined, and if appeals can be made to
decisions by the Director of Community Development. Mr. Roe voiced his support
for enhancing the infill ordinance to assist existing residents in maintaining their
neighborhoods.
(City Council/Redevelopment Agency) Study Session on Neighborhood
Compatibility Held - A Presentation was Given on Possible Methods to Address
the Compatibility of Proposed Additions to Existing Single -Family Residences
with the Established Character of the Surrounding Residential Neighborhood.
(440.10)
Planning Manager Scott Hess gave an overview of the topic, noting that it does not
directly relate to the Wesley Park Overlay issue (item No. H-2a on the agenda). He
introduced Principal Planner MaryBeth Broeren and Associate Planner Ricky
Ramos. Planner Ramos gave a PowerPoint report titled Neighborhood Compatibility,
which was included in the agenda packet.
Mayor Pro Tern Coerper inquired how Planning staff determines that a project is "out of
scale," and Planner Ramos responded the determination could be subjective. Mayor
Sullivan asked about the criteria for height measurements, and Planner Ramos
confirmed that the measurement is made from the sub floor of the property to the peak
of the roof. Manager Hess explained the rationale for the two -foot -above -the -curb
allowance, speaking of grading variations. Mayor Sullivan asked for the definition of
adjacent property owners, as requested by the Public Speaker. Planner Ramos
explained that adjacent properties are those on any side, touching the property in
question.
Planner Ramos spoke regarding surveys of forty other cities pertaining to methods used
to promote neighborhood compatibility. He offered potential solutions including: Upper
Story Setbacks, Facade Articulation, Upper Story Ratios, amending the existing
Residential Infill Ordinance, and amending the existing Third Story Ordinance.
Councilmember Hansen asked how many third -story applications Planning has received
in the past two years, and Planner Broeren reported less than ten applications per year.
Councilmember Hansen asked for suggestions on how to address architecture and style,
February 6, 2006 — Council/Agency Minutes - Page 3 of 20
which he stated are subjective issues. Planner Ramos suggested starting with
amendments to the infill ordinance and including the Design Review Board in style
reviews. Planner Broeren suggested restricting types of materials used in remodels.
Councilmember Hardy spoke regarding exceptions that have been made to the thirty-
foot height maximum, asking for greater enforcement of the rule. She stated concerns
with architectural aspects of remodels, asking for constraints other than materials and
voiced an interest in expanding the Residential Infill Ordinance. Councilmember Hansen
suggested creation of guidelines that do not result in "neighbor versus neighbor'
debates. Councilmember Bohr voiced his concerns with applying a ratio or number to
remodeling, and an artificial cap being placed on the marketplace and on property taxes.
Mayor Pro Tern Coerper inquired if the idea of a committee of residents and staff
members to study the issue would be feasible. City Administrator Penny Culbreth-Graft
reported on an existing Council subcommittee, stating Council may choose to create
another committee. Mayor Pro Tern Coerper asked if an appeal process
currently exists, and Manager Hess reported there is currently an appeal for third -story
applicants, but not for infill ordinance decisions. Administrator Culbreth-Graft requested
the opportunity to meet with staff regarding the structure of a new committee before its
formation.
Mayor Sullivan stated his preference for including the public in any decision and agreed
with Councilmember Hardy's opinions regarding greater enforcement of the maximum
height rule. He asked Manager Hess how applications that exceed the thirty-foot height
rule were approved. Manager Hess reported measurements made in the past used
different criteria. Councilmember Cook stated her opinion there is a growing demand for
single -story homes, and voiced her concern for homes that have solar panels and their
right to sunlight.
Mayor Pro Tem Coerper inquired about height restrictions for Hearthside Homes, and
Planner Broeren reported that no homes over two stories have been approved. He
asked staff to report back to Council on County restrictions regarding height, setbacks,
and infill of developments.

permitted use within the zoning classification.
3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed as directed by the City

zoning practice by codifying existing policies and creating a zoning and subdivision

(City Council) Directed City Attorney to Draft Ordinance Amending Chapter 7.12
of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code as it Relates to the Keeping of Fowl and
Rabbits (120.90)
The City Council considered a communication from Mayor Pro Tern Gil Coerper
transmitting the following Statement of Issue:
February 6, 2006 — Council/Agency Minutes - Page 18 of 20
The Huntington Beach Municipal Code, as it relates to the keeping of fowl and rabbits,
was last modified in the 1970's. Currently, the Code allows a person to keep no more
than ten chickens or similar domestic fowl. Also, the Code sets forth distance limitations
on where the animals can be kept. The limitations are: at least 50 feet from the street
line, at least 20 feet from the property line, at least 50 feet from the owner's residence or
structure, and within 100 feet of surrounding residences or structures.
These limitations effectively prohibit some residents who wish to keep fowl and rabbits
on their property from doing so, due to lot sizes that cannot accommodate the distance
requirements. 1 am recommending an update of the Municipal Code as it relates to the
keeping of these animals.
The proposed amendments reduce the number of chickens and other domestic fowl
permitted under the Code, but allow more residents to keep them, as the distance
limitations are less restrictive. For instance, with these proposed amendments, there
would be no limitation of the keeping of fowl and rabbits in the proximity to the owner's
residence, so long as it is at least 50 feet from the neighbors' residences.
Mayor Pro Tern Coerper reported orally, clarifying a change to the Recommended Action
from four to six chickens.
Councilmember Cook suggested a 25-foot distance from neighbors, and the Mayor Pro
Tern accepted the amendment.
Councilmember Green voiced concerns with regards to avian flu, and allowing multiple
rabbits.
Mayor Pro Tern Coerper asked the City Attorney for clarification on the current code with
regards to rabbits. Attorney McGrath explained the code permits one rabbit inside the
home. Mayor Pro Tern Coerper suggested an additional amendment to
the Recommended Action, to allow no more than two rabbits per household. Attorney
McGrath asked for clarification on the Mayor Pro Tem's intention on permitting. Council
agreed by consensus that permitting would be required for all animals.
Councilmember Bohr suggested that, due to the lack of requests for change, the limit
for rabbits remain unchanged. The Mayor Pro Tern agreed with his suggestion.
A motion was made by Coerper, second Hardy to direct the City Attorney to draft an
ordinance amending Chapter 7.12 as follows:
Section 7.12.120 - Keeping of Fowl and Rabbits
It is a nuisance for a person to keep chickens and similar domestic fowl or rabbits within
twenty-five (25) feet from any dwelling house or structure, other than one that he or she
occupies, or to keep any rooster over four (4) months old in the City limits. Animals are
required to be permitted.
Section 7.12.130 - Fowl - Number Permitted
No person is permitted to keep in the City more than Six (6) in all of chickens, or similar
domestic fowl, except newborn under eight (8) weeks of age. However, not more than
twenty-four (24) chickens may be maintained. The motion carried by the following roll
call vote:
AYES: Bohr, Coerper, Sullivan, Hardy, Hansen, and Cook
NOES: Green

(City Council) Directed Staff to Prepare An Interim Ordinance and Give Public
Notice Consistent With the Government Code Providing for a Limited Moratorium
on Demolition Permits In and Around The Wesley Park Tract (120.90)
The City Council considered a communication from Councilmember Green transmitting
the following Statement of Issue: On December 19, 2005, the City Council directed
staff to conduct neighborhood meetings and prepare a neighborhood conservation
overlay for the area in and around the Wesley Park tract. The homeowners in this area
have voiced concern regarding demolition of existing homes, which ultimately would lead
to construction of new homes, that may be inconsistent with future standards of the
neighborhood conservation overlay.
Councilmember Green gave an oral report, clarifying the borders for the current area
in question is 12th Street, Lake Street, and Palm Street.
Councilmember Hardy commented on the borders of the area, asking interested
individuals to attend the meeting being held the following evening to express their
preferences.
Responding to an inquiry from Council, Brian Sullivan suggested a setback of 15 feet,
maximum height of 30 feet and a maximum of 40% site coverage. Barbara Sullivan
reported on aesthetic suggestions and her motivation for requesting the moratorium.
Councilmember Hansen asked staff for the number of demolition applications made in
the potential moratorium area. Planning Manager Hess reported two applications are
currently pending, that an environmental assessment will be required with these
applications, and that they would both be subject to the demolition moratorium.
Councilmember Bohr asked for clarification on the goals of the moratorium, and
Councilmember Green explained the history of the Wesley Park Tract and neighborhood
overlays. City Attorney McGrath reported on moratorium extensions. Councilmember
Bohr stated he would not support the Recommended Action.
Councilmember Hansen stated concurrence with Councilmember Bohr's comments and
concerns with the moratorium.
Councilmember Hardy asked for confirmation that the moratorium can be lifted at any
point, and Attorney McGrath reported in the affirmative.
Councilmember Cook stated her support for the moratorium and for assisting
the neighborhood in finding a solution to the issue. Councilmember Bohr noted some
current residents would like to increase the size of their homes and remain in the area.
Mayor Pro Tern Coerper voiced concern for how the moratorium will affect the rest of the
City residences.
Councilmember Hansen stated concerns pertaining to architectural design guidelines
and the challenge of gaining concurrence, but stated he would support the motion.
Mayor Sullivan asked the City Attorney how many votes are required to pass the
moratorium -ordinance, and Attorney McGrath reported 4/5 vote is required.
