Site Historyj The subject site and the majority of the properties along 17th Street from the first alley inland of Pacific Coast Highway to Palm Avenue were originally zoned M2 (Industrial). In 1972,the area was rezoned from M2 (Industrial)to R3, which at the time, designated a Limited Multiple Family Residence District. In February of 1976, many of the surrounding properties to the northwest and southwest were redesignated as the Townlot Specific Plan. The two (2) blocks on the east side of 17th Street between Walnut and Orange Avenues were also included in the Specific Plan while the subject property remained zoned R3 (Medium-High Density Residential). In August of 1976, all of 17th Street from Walnut Avenue to Palm Avenue was included in the Townlot Specific Plan. In 1978,the property between the subject site and Olive Avenue to the south was rezoned (Q)C3 (Qualified-General Business District. In 1983,the property to the south was rezoned to its present C2 (Community Business)designation when the City eliminated the C3 zoning district city-wide. In 1966, the applicant petitioned the Board of Zoning Adjustments for a variance to the parking standards in conjunction with construction of a 1,600 square foot light industrial building. The Board of Zoning Adjustments denied the request or a one (1)parking space reduction and did not allow two (2) of the four(4)provided spaces to be arranged in tandem. Mr. Ellsworth subsequently appealed the decision to the Planning Commission where the request was approved against the recommendations by staff. The applicant, Mr. Ellsworth, has owned Lot 11 of the subject site since March of 1970 and has owned Lot 9 since December of 1975. lei/ RCA -2- rca9234 { / 4 • ��bjP.� 440 MAP A + S` i 7° o� �j C� / ,r /Q .e y• IINI r 6 4 L J K, �w J a� of B. Applicant's Request: The southwesterly parcel (309 17th Street) is currently vacant while the northwesterly lot(311 17th Street) is occupied by a 1,600 square foot commercial building which is non-conforming with the current residential zoning. The applicant operates an electronics and computer parts repair business from the site. The zone change is requested to allow commercial development of the vacant parcel and to have the appropriate zoning for the existing commercial building. The applicant wishes to continue the commercial uses of the property to the south to his property(See Narrative in Planning Commission Report, Attachment No. 7) . The applicant has indicated he has had several offers to purchase the vacant parcel for use as a residential site but he has declined to sell the property. He also does not wish to consolidate the two (2) lots for a larger site. .3 RCA -3- rca9234 C. Planning Commission Recommendation: Although the applicant is requesting C2 (Community Business)zoning on the subject property, the Planning Commission is recommending approval of OP (Office Professional) zoning. The Planning Commission felt that OP (Office Professional)would be more compatible with the surrounding residential uses than a commercial business. The Planning Commission preferred to limit the potential tenants to office uses only because the array of possible commercial opportunities may impact the existing residential properties with additional noise and traffic, especially with the existing condition of vehicular access to the site from an alley that is also utilized by residences.. D. sue The Planning staff does not support the applicant's request for a commercial zone (C2) or the Planning Commission's action for an office professional zone (OP) on the subject property. Planning staff recommends denial of Zone Change No. 92-3 based upon the following issues. 1. General Plan-The proposed zone change does not conform to the existing General Plan Land Use designation of Medium Density Residential (see Attachment No. 2). In addition, the subject property under its current zoning designation, can contribute two (2) housing units towards meeting the City's share of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment(RHNA)requirements. Although it may not be appropriate to develop the vacant parcel with a housing unit(between two (2) commercial structures) at this time, the rezoning of the parcel to C2 (Community Business) or OP (Office Professional) would prevent all potential residential development. The existing 22 year old building may be due to recycle soon and the most appropriate use would be residential. 49MM AL FLA LAMD ,p \� is;`j:::':�{ei:::��:::•i` ) YY �1 I Y 1 ♦ ♦ �, N N:T.S. •.; YY RCA -4- rca9234 rf 2. Copatibili1y- The existing structure and use of the property is currently legal, non- conforming. The subject site is surrounded on three (3) sides by residentially zoned land which is not compatible with either the existing commercial building or the proposed OP (Office Professional) zoning. Although the;two (2)parcels to the south are zoned C2 (Community Business),the General Plan or long range goal for the entire area is Medium Density Residential. M2-01 Z E 1 R `114� 91 3. Other Downtown Commercial -There are a number of other commercially zoned properties'in the downtown area that are not yet developed. Planning staff maintains that it is important for these other properties to become viable,prospering enterprises before a parcel with so many inadequacies is granted a zone change to commercial or office professional. 4. Lot Size and Lot Width-New commercial developments in the C2 (Community Business) or OP (Office Professional) zoning districts require a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 100 feet. The OP (Office Professional) district, however, contains an exception that any lot created prior to June 1972, the effective date of the ordinance, can be considered a legal building site. The applicant's two (2) subject properties are each 2,937.5 square feet in lot size and 25 feet in lot width and can be considered a legal building site under the exception described above. The size RCA -5- rca9234 �4 of the involved parcels are substantially below the standards established for commercial and professional office properties. The substandard lot size and lot width may result in a design project that will have difficulty meeting the development standards of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. Some examples of the development requirements include minimum parking, setbacks, and landscaping standards that the project most likely will not be able to meet. For example, as stated earlier,the existing structure received approval of a parking variance in 1966. Planning staff maintains that the site is inadequate in size for commercial or professional office development. 5. Parking_and Access - The subject property is situated on 17th Street with an alley to the rear. Since the lots are too narrow for curb and driveway cuts on the arterial, any on-site parking will probably be provided at the rear of the property off the alley. However, a typical visitor to the site will park on 17th Street at the most visible entrance to the building. This layout results in two (2) negative impacts to the surrounding property owners. First, staffs midday visits to the site reveal 17th Street parking to be already highly impacted. A new office building will increase on-street parking since access to the alley is not readily visible nor convenient. Secondly, should a patron realize the availability of parking from the alley,the vehicle would travel through an established residential area. 6. Environmental - The Environmental Assessment Committee reviewed the initial study and recommended approval of a negative declaration with one(1)mitigation measure. Because the applicant did not submit conceptual development plans, the Environmental Assessment Committee instigated a mitigation measure to require any request for development to submit an initial study. The Environmental Assessment Committee was concerned that some possible commercial developments would result in negative noise, traffic, compatibility, etc., impacts to the surrounding residential properties. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: Pursuant to the environmental regulations in effect at this time,the Department of Community Development advertised draft Negative Declaration No. 92-34 for twenty-one (21) days, and one (1)written comment was received. The comment was submitted by the Environmental Board and recommended approval of Negative Declaration No. 92-34 with mitigation.

Concurrent Entitlement(s): Zone Change No. 92-3 4. Proiect Location: 309 and 311 17th Street (west side of 17th Street between Olive and Orange Avenues). 5. Proiect Description: A zone change of an approximately 5,875 square foot area from TLSP-B (Townlot Specific Plan Section B) to C2 (Community Business). One half of the subject area is currently occupied by a 1.600 square foot building and the other half is vacant. No development of the vacant parcel is proposed at this time. Subsequent development will be subject to a minimum of a Use Permit review and possible Conditional Exceptions (Variances) to the development standards of C2 Zoning. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS (Explanations of answers are included after each subsection.) Yes Maybe No 1. Earth. Will the proposal result in: a. Unstable earth conditions or changes in geologic substructures? _ _ X �C • _Y_U Maybe NQ b. Disruptions, displacements, compaction or overcovering of the soil? _ X Discussion: The project consists of one developed parcel and one vacant parcel at this time. Subsequent development of the vacant parcel, under the proposed zoning may result is some disruption, displacement, compaction and overcovering of soil . However, impacts associated with the disruption, displacement, compaction and overcovering of soil are not anticipated to be substantially different from those associated with development under existing zoning. Furthermore, soils impacts of future development will be project specific and will be addressed through the entitlement process. Future development will also be subject to standard conditions of approval which require submittal of a soils study and implementation of specifications contained therein; no significant impacts to earth conditions are anticipated to result from the proposed project. C. Change in topography or ground surface relief features? _ _ X d. The destruction, covering or modification of any unique geologic or physical features? _ _ X Discussion: The project site is primarily flat and does not contain any unique physical features. Any changes in topography proposed by subsequent development will be project specific and will be addressed through the entitlement process. e. Any increase in wind or water erosion of soils, either on or off the site? _ _ X Discussion: The project does not include development of the vacant parcel at this time. Development of the vacant site may result in short—term wind erosion impacts during the site preparation and construction phases. However, subsequent development will be subject to entitlement procedures and standard conditions of approval requiring implementation of dust control measures; no significant impact is anticipated. f. Changes in deposition or erosion of beach sands, or changes in siltation, deposition or erosion which may modify the channel of a river or stream or the bed of the ocean or any bay, inlet or lake? _ _ X g. Exposure of people or property to geologic hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, mudslides, ground failure, or similar hazards? _ _ X Discussion: The project is not located in the vicinity of the Alquist—Priolo Special Hazard Zone or any other known fault hazard; however, the site is located in an area of potential expansive soils as identified in the City's 1974 Geotechnical Inputs report. Subsequent development will be subject to standard conditions of approval which require submittal of soils reports and implementation of measures contained therein; no significant impacts are anticipated. 2. Air. Will the proposal result in: a. Substantial air emissions or deterioration of ambient air quality? _ X Discussion: Short Term: The proposed project area consists of one commercial building and one vacant parcel at this time. However, subsequent development under the proposed zoning may result in short—term emissions from construction equipment and grading activities. Short—term dust and pollutant emissions are not anticipated to be substantially different from those generated by development under the existing zoning. Development will be subject to standard conditions of approval requiring implementation of dust control measures and restriction of construction activities during second stage smog alerts and high ozone days. No significant impact is anticipated. 1� Environmental Checklist —2— �, (1896D) V� • • Yes Maybe No Long Term: Subsequent development and operation of commercial uses on the site may result in emissions due to vehicle traffic and equipment/processes used on site. However, vehicle emissions resulting from subsequent development are not anticipated to be substantial; future occupants of the site will be subject to standard conditions of approval which require prospective occupants to provide information on equipment/processes which may generate air pollutants to the South Coast Air Quality Management District for review and approval prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. No significant impacts are anticipated. b. The creation of objectionable odors? _ X Discussion: Commercial land uses, allowed by the proposed zoning, are more likely to generate fumes or odors than the single—family uses allowed under the current zoning. The project site is adjacent to single—family and multi—family residences to the north, east, and west and adjacent to a non—conforming industrial use of a commercial property to the south. However, subsequent development will be subject to additional review through the entitlement process and as discussed above, prospective occupants will be required to obtain SCAQMD approval prior to occupancy. C. Alteration of air movement, moisture, or temperature, or any change in climate, either locally or regionally? _ _ X 3. Water. Will the proposal result in: a. Changes in currents, or the course of direction of water movements, in either marine or fresh waters? _ _ X b. Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface runoff? _ X Discussion: One—half of the project site is currently occupied by an electronic/computer parts repair business and is partially covered by impervious surfaces. Development of the vacant parcel is not proposed at this time. Subsequent development is anticipated to increase the amount of impervious surfaces on the site and will result in additional runoff from the site. Alternations to drainage patterns and run off resulting from subsequent development will also be project specific and will be addressed through the entitlement process. Subsequent development will be subject to standard conditions of approval requiring submittal of grading and hydraulic studies to insure that development will not adversely impact drainage in the area. No significant impact is anticipated. C. Alterations to the course or flow of flood waters? _ _ X d. Change in the amount of surface water in any water body? _ _ X e. Discharge into surface waters, or in any alteration of surface water quality, including but not limited to temperature, dissolved oxygen or turbidity? _ _ X f. Alteration of the direction or rate of flow of ground waters? _ _ X 9. Change in the quantity of ground waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations? _ _ X . h. Substantial reduction in the amount of water otherwise available for public water supplies? _ _ X Discussion: The proposed zoning is not anticipated to result in a substantial increase in water usage or a significant reduction in the amount of water available to the city. �V Environmental Checklist —3— (1896D) Yak Maybe No i. Exposure of people or property to water related hazards such as flooding or tidal waves? _ _ X Discussion: The proposed project site is not located in the vicinity of the flood plain or any other water related hazards. 4. Plant Life. Will the proposal result in: a. Change in the diversity of species, or number of any species of plants (including trees, shrubs, grass, crops, and aquatic plants)? _ _ X b. Reduction of the numbers of any mature, unique, rare or endangered species of plants? _ _ X C. Introduction of new species of plants into an area, or in a barrier to the normal replenishment of existing species? _ _ X d. Reduction in acreage of an agricultural crop? _ _ X Discussion (a—d): One—half of the site is currently occupied by an electronics/computer parts repair business and the other half is vacant. The vacant half of the parcel currently has no plant species. No significant impact is anticipated. 5. Animal Life. Will the proposal result in: a. Change in the diversity of species, or numbers of any species of animals (birds, land animals including reptiles, fish and shellfish, benthic organisms or insects)? _ _ X b. Reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare or endangered species of animals? _ _ X C. Introduction of new species of animals into an area, or result in a barrier to the migration or movement of animals? _ _ X d. Deterioration to existing fish or wildlife habitat? _ _ X Discussion (a—d): The site is occupied by an electronic/computer parts repair business and does not appear to support any unique animal species. No significant impact is anticipated. 6. Noise. Will the proposal result in: a. Increases in existing noise levels? _ X Discussion: -Short—term: The project area consists of one commercial business at this time. Equipment associated with construction of subsequent development may generate short—term increases in noise during the site preparation and construction phases. However, construction noise impacts resulting from development under the proposed zoning are not anticipated to be substantially different than those resulting from construction under the TLSP—B Zoning. Subsequent development will be subject to standard conditions of approval which limit the hours of construction activities and compliance with the Huntington Beach Noise Ordinance. l� Environmental Checklist —4— (1896D) 1� Ygs Maybe No Long-Term: The project site is located within a 65 CNEL noise contour. The proposed zone change will remove residential zoning from the 65 CNEL. However, proposed zone change will also allow for commercial development adjacent to multi-family residences. Commercial uses and associated activities (such as truck traffic) is anticipated to increase noise in the project area and may impact residences to the north and east. Noise impacts are anticipated to be project specific and will be addressed through the entitlement process. No significant impacts are anticipated. b. Exposure of people to severe noise levels? _ _ X Discussion: See 6a. 7. Light and Glare. Will the proposal produce new light or glare? _ X _ Discussion: Subsequent development will result in new light and glare in the project vicinity. Subsequent development will be subject to entitlement and standard conditions of approval which require submittal of a lighting plan to insure that lighting will not spill onto adjacent properties. No significant impact is anticipated. 8. Land Use. Will the proposal result in a substantial alteration of the present or planned land use of an area? _ X Discussion: The proposed project is a change in zoning of the property. The existing zoning would allow for development of approximately 2 single-family residential units. The project proposes amending the zoning on a 5,875 square foot strip of property from TLSP-B (Townlot Specific Plan Section B) to allow for commercial development on the site. Although one-half of the property is currently occupied by a commercial use, rezoning of the property is anticipated to result in development of more intense commercial uses adjacent to a residential area. Potential impacts will be addressed through implementation of the mitigation measure identified below requiring preparation of an initial study to analyze specific development of the site. The initial study shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and shall be processed prior to or concurrently with entitlement processing. The rezoning will also result in two (2) parcels of land non-conforming to minimum commercial lot width and lot size requirements. The compatibility of the C2 zoning with adjacent uses and C2 development standards will be determined by analysis contained in this study and during the zone change review process. Mitigation: Subsequent development of the site, under the C2 zoning, shall be subject to preparation of an intial study to analyze the potential environmental impacts of specific development of the site. The initial study shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and shall be processed prior to or concurrently with entitlement processing. 9. Natural Resources. Will the proposal result in: - a. Increase in the rate of use of any natural resources? _ _ X b. Substantial depletion of any nonrenewable natural resource? _ _ X Discussion (a-b): Development of the vacant parcel on the site with a new commercial building may increase the demand of natural and energy resources. However, the increased usage is not anticipated to be substantial and any impact to the rate of usage or depletion of supplies is anticipated to be negligible. Project specific energy usage impacts will be addressed through the entitlement process. Impacts will be reduced further through implementation of the Energy Conservation Standards in Title 24 of the California Administrative Code as required through standard conditions of approval. Environmental Checklist -5- (1896D) ;s • • Yes Maybe No 10. Risk of Upset. Will the proposal involve: a. A risk of an explosion or the release of hazardous substances (including, but not limited to oil , pesticides, chemicals or radiation) in the event of an accident or upset conditions? - - X Discussion: A portion of the site is currently occupied by an electronic/computer part repair business which will remain after the zone change on the site. There are currently no hazardous substances present on site and are not likely with any subsequent development. b. Possible interference with an emergency response plan or an emergency evacuation plan? _ _ X 11. Population. Will the proposal alter the location, distribution, density, or growth rate of the human population of an area? _ _ X Discussion: The proposed zone change will eliminate development of future housing opportunities on the site. However, the site will provide approximately 2 residential units which is not considered substantial. The proposed project may provide additional employment opportunities in the city. However, the number of jobs created is not anticipated to be substantial. The potential impacts to the city's growth rate and housing demand is considered negligible. 12. Housing. Will the proposal affect existing housing, or create a demand for additional housing? _ _ X 13. Transportation/Circulation. Will the proposal result in: a. Generation of substantial additional vehicular movement? _ X _ Discussion: Subsequent commercial development, based upon approximate floor area ratios, is projected to generate approximately 22 trips with a peak hour trip generation of approximately 3 trips (calculations based upon ITE trip generation rates). The current zoning is anticipated to allow for development of approximately 2 units and will generate an estimated 24 ADT and 3 peak hour trips. The anticipated change in potential trip generations is negligible. Project specific traffic impacts resulting from subsequent development will be addressed through the entitlement process; no significant impacts are anticipated. b. Effects on existing parking facilities, or demand for new off—site parking? _ _ X Discussion: Subsequent development will be required to comply with Article 960: "Parking and Landscaping" of the City of Huntington Beach Ordinance Code which requires that all parking be accommodated on site. However, a conceptual development plan submitted by the applicant provides only four (4) of the eight (8) parking spaces required for the size of the building proposed. While the plans are only conceptual at this point and subject to change, it appears that a conditional exception (variance) would be required for a reduction of parking spaces as well as other development standards due to the size of the parcel involved. Parking requirements will be addressed through the entitlement process. C. Substantial impact upon existing transportation systems? _ _ X Discussion: There are several commercial projects in the vicinity at this time. The zone change will allow for additional commercial development in the vicinity of single—family and multi—family residential units and has a potential for generating commercial traffic on adjacent residential streets. Project specific circulation impacts will be addressed through the entitlement process. No significant impact is anticipated. d. Alterations to present patterns of circulation or movement of people and/or goods? _ _ X Discussion: See 13c. Environmental Checklist —6— /t (18960) • • Yes Maybe No e. Alterations to waterborne, rail or air traffic? _ — X f. Increase in traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians? _ X Discussion: Subsequent development will result in the presence of construction and commercial traffic and may result in increased obstacles to vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians during the construction and operation of commercial uses. Construction related hazards are short—term and are not anticipated to be substantial. Furthermore, subsequent development will be subject to standard conditions of approval requiring submittal of a construction vehicle routing plan. Commercial vehicle use on the site will be dependent on future uses on the site. Project specific traffic impacts will be addressed through the entitlement process. 14. Public Services. Will the proposal have an effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered governmental services in any of the following areas: a. Fire protection? — — X b. Police protection? _ — X C. Schools? — — X d. Parks or other recreational facilities? _ — X e. Maintenance of public facilities, including roads? _ _ X Discussion: One—half of the project site is currently unimproved. However, sidewalk, curb and gutter are already in place and are maintained by the City. f. Other governmental services? _ _ X Discussions (a—d,f): All public services are currently available for the site. Development under the proposed zoning will not result in a need for any additional fire, police, school, park, public facilities or services. No significant impact is anticipated. 15. Energy. Will the proposal result in: a. Use of substantial amounts of fuel or energy? _ _ X Discussion: See 9 (a,b). b. Substantial increase in demand upon existing source of energy, or require the development of sources of energy? _ _ X Discussion: See 9 (a,b). 16. Utilities. Will the proposal result in a need for new systems, or substantial alterations to the following utilities: a. Power or natural gas? _ _ X b. Communication systems? _ _ X C. Water? X Environmental Checklist —7— /� i (1896D) • Yes Maybe No d. Sewer or septic tanks? _ _ X e. Storm water drainage? _ _ X f. Solid waste and disposal? _ _ X Discussion (a—f): All utilities are currently available in the project vicinity. Subsequent development of commercial uses may require installation of connections into existing utility systems; however, the subsequent development is not anticipated to result in a need for any new systems or substantial alterations to existing systems to serve the site. 17. Human Health. Will the proposal result in: a. Creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard (excluding mental health)? _ _ X b. Exposure of people to potential health hazards? _ _ X 18. Aesthetics. Will the proposal result in the obstruction of any scenic vista or view open to the public, or will the proposal result in the creation of an aesthetically offensive site open to public view? _ _ X Discussion: The site does not currently offer any view opportunities and is not anticipated to result in an aesthetically offensive site; no significant impact is anticipated. 19. Recreation. Will the proposal result in an impact upon the quality or quantity of existing recreational opportunities? X Discussion: The proposed project site will not impact any recreational opportunities. 20. Cultural Resources. a. Will the proposal result in the alteration of or the destruction of a prehistoric or historic archaeological site? _ _ X b. Will the proposal result in adverse physical or aesthetic effects to a prehistoric or historic building, structure, or object? _ _ X C. Does the proposal have the potential to cause a physical change which would affect unique ethnic cultural values? _ _ X d. Will the proposal restrict existing religious or sacred uses within the potential impact area? _ _ X Discussion (a—d): The proposed project site is not located in the vicinity of any known archaeological sites. 21 . Mandatory Findings of Significance. a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, sub— stantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? _ _ X Environmental Checklist —8— �a (1896l b. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) _ _ X C. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively consid- erable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) _ _ X d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? _ _ X DETERMINATION On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a _ NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED. I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - ZONE CHANGE NO. 92-3: (STAFF RECOMMENDATION) L. The proposed zone change from TLSP-B (Townlot Specific Plan Section B) to OP (Office Professional) does not conform with the Land Use Element of the General Plan which designates the subject property as Medium Density Residential. The property is inadequate in size to meet the goals, needs and criteria of the office professional district. The subject property consists of two (2), 25 foot wide lots that most likely will not be able to provide adequate parking, landscaping, and setbacks and will impact off-street parking on 17th Street. The current zoning and general plan designations call for residential use of the property and an amendment of the zoning would preclude the development of two (2) residential units. 2. The proposed zone change from TLSP-B (Townlot Specific Plan Section B) to OP (Office Professional) is not consistent with surrounding residential land uses. The property is surrounded on three (3) sides by property zoned and general planned for residential uses. The property is too narrow for a curb cut on 17th Street so all access to on-site parking would take place through the alley through residential uses. An office use of the property is not compatible with the surrounding residential district. (7323d) ATTACHMENT NO. 5 ALTERNATIVE FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - ZONE CHANGE NO. 92-3: (APPLICANT'S REQUEST) 1. Although the proposed zone change from TLSP-B (Townlot Specific Plan Section B) to Community Business (C2) does conform with the Land Use Element of the General Plan. 2. The proposed zone change from TLSP-B (Townlot Specific Plan Section B) to Community Business (C2) is consistent with surrounding commercial land uses to the south. (7323d-3) I' ORDINANCE NO.

The site is surrounded on three (3) sides with property zoned and used for residential purposes . In addition, the General Plan designates the surrounding property on all four (4) sides of the subject site as Medium Density Residential. The two (2) , 25 foot wide lots are not suitable for commercial development because they do not meet the minimum lot size and lot width requirements, they would have difficulty providing adequate parking and landscaping, and commercial development does not constitute the best use of the two (2) subject parcels . Staff recommends that the Planning- Commission approve Negative Declaration No. 92-34 with one (1) mitigation measure and deny Zone Change No. 92-3 because of incompatibility with the adjacent residential uses .

"Approve Negative Declaration No. 92-34 with mitigation measure; " and B. "Deny Zone Change No. 92-3 with findings . " 2 .0 GENERAL INFORMATION: Zone Change No. 92-3 is a request to redesignate and rezone a 0 . 13 net acre (5, 875 square foot) site (two 25 ' wide lots) , from a residential zone, Townlot Specific Plan Section B to C2 (Community Business) . One-half (1/2) of the subject area (northeasterly lot, #11) is currently occupied by a 1, 600 square foot commercial building and the other half (southwesterly lot #9) is vacant . Although the zone change does not constitute any new development, it will allow for commercial development on the site. Development of the vacant parcel is not proposed at this time, and any future request for h commercial construction will be subject to a minimum of a use permit review and possible conditional exceptions (variances) to the development standards of C2 (Community Business) zoning . i vi ' 3 . 0 SURROUNDING LAND USE, ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATIONS: North, East and West of Subject Property: GENERAL' PLAN DESIGNATION: Medium Density Residential ZONE: TLSP-B (Townlot Specific Plan Section B) LAND USE: Apartments and Single Family Residences South of Subject Property: GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Medium Density Residential ZONE: C2 (Community Business) LAND USE: Industrial Wholesaler and Retail Market 4 . 0 ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: Pursuant to the environmental regulations in effect at this time, the Department of Community Development advertised draft Negative Declaration No . 92-34 for twenty-one (21) days, and one (1) written comment was received. The comment was submitted by the Environmental Board and recommended approval of Negative Declaration No. 92-34 with mitigation. The comment did not address any deficiency of the document, raise any significant environmental issues or request additional information; as such, a substantive response is not appropriate within the context of CEQA. A copy of the comment has been included as an attachment to this report. 5 . 0 COASTAL STATUS: Not applicable. 6 . 0 REDEVELOPMENT STATUS: Not applicable. 7.0 SPECIFIC PLAN: Not applicable. 8. 0 SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE: Not applicable. 9 . 0 ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Site History The subject site and the majority of the properties along 17th Street from the first alley inland of Pacific Coast Highway to Palm Avenue were originally zoned M2 (Industrial) . In 1972, the area was rezoned from M2 (Industrial) to R3, which at the time, designated a Limited Multiple Family Residence District. In February of 1976, many of the surrounding properties to the northwest and southeast were redesignated as the Townlot Specific Plan. The two (2) blocks on the east side of 17th Street between Walnut and Orange Avenues were also included in the Specific Plan while the subject property remained zoned R3 (Medium-High Density Residential) . In August of 1976, all of 17th Street from Walnut 'Avenue to Palm Avenue was included in the Townlot Specific Plan. In 1978, the property between the subject site and Olive Avenue to the south was rezoned (Q)C3 or (Qualified) General Business District . In 1983 , the property to the south was rezoned to its present C2 (Community Business) designation when the City eliminated the C3 zoning ,G�1 district city-wide. Staff Report - 7/7/93 -2- (7060d) I In 1966, the applicant petitioned the Board of Zoning Adjustments for a variance to the parking standards in conjunction with construction of a 1, 600 square foot light industrial building . The Board of Zoning Adjustments denied the request for a one (1) parking space reduction and did not allow two (2) of the four (4) provided spaces to be arranged in tandem. Mr . Ellsworth subsequently appealed the decision to the Planning Commission where the request was approved against the recommendations by staff . The applicant, Mr . Ellsworth, has owned Lot 11 of the subject site since March of 1970 and has owned Lot 9 since December of 1975 . The applicant has indicated he has had several offers to purchase the vacant parcel for use as a residential site but he has declined to sell the property. He also does not wish to consolidate the two (2) lots for a larger site. Issues and Analysis The Planning staff does not support the applicant ' s request for a commercial zone on the subject property. Planning staff recommends denial of Zone Change No. 92-3 based upon the following analysis . 1. General Plan - The proposed zone change does not conform to the existing General Plan Land Use designation of Medium Density Residential (see Attachment No. 2) . In addition, the subject property under its current zoning designation can contribute two (2) housing units towards meeting the City' s share of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) requirements . Although it may not. be appropriate to develop the vacant parcel with a housing unit (between two [21 commercial structures) at this time, the rezoning of the parcel to C2 (Community Business) would prevent all potential residential development . The existing 22 year old building may be due to recycle soon and the most appropriate use would be residential . 2 . Compatibility - The existing structure and use of the property is currently legal, non-conforming . The subject site is surrounded on three (3) sides by residentially zoned land which is not compatible with either the existing commercial building or the proposed C2 (Community Business) zoning. Although the two (2) parcels to the south are zoned C2 (Community Business) , the General Plan or long range goal for the entire area is Medium Density Residential . 3 . Other Downtown Commercial - There are a number of other commercially zoned properties in the downtown area that are not yet developed. Planning staff maintains that it is important for these other properties to become viable, prospering enterprises before a parcel with so many inadequacies is granted a zone change to commercial . 4 . Lot Size and Lot Width - New commercial developments in the C2 (Community Business) zoning districts require a minimum lot size of 10, 000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 100 feet . The applicant ' s two (2) subject properties are each 2, 937 . 5 square feet in lot size and 25 feet in lot width. The size of the Staff Report - 7/7/93 -3- (7060d) involved parcels are substantially below the standards established for commercial properties . The substandard lot size and lot width may result in a design project that will have difficulty meeting the development standards of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. Some examples of the development requirements include minimum parking, setbacks, and landscaping standards that the project most likely will not be able to meet . For example, as stated earlier, the existing structure received approval of a parking variance in 1966 . Planning staff maintains that the site is inadequate in size for commercial development . 5 . Parking and Access - The subject property is situated on 17th Street with an alley to the rear. Since the lots are too narrow for curb and driveway cuts on the arterial, any on-site parking will probably be provided at the rear of the property off the alley. However, a typical commercial patron to the site will park on 17th Street at the most visible entrance to the building . This layout results in two (2) negative impacts to the surrounding property owners . First, staff ' s midday visits to the site reveal 17th Street parking to be already highly impacted. A new commercial structure will increase on-street parking since access to the alley is not readily visible nor convenient . Secondly, should a patron realize the availability of parking from the alley, the vehicle would travel through an established residential area. Mixing commercial traffic, which may include early morning deliveries or heavy peak hour trips, with residential traffic is not appropriate. 6 . Environmental - The Environmental Assessment Committee reviewed the initial study and recommended approval of a negative declaration with one (1) mitigation measure. Because the applicant did not submit conceptual development plans, the Environmental Assessment Committee instigated a mitigation measure to require any request for development to submit an initial study. The Environmental Assessment Committee was concerned that some possible commercial developments would result in negative noise, traffic, compatibility, etc. , impacts to the surrounding residential properties . 10 . 0 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Negative Declaration No. 92-34 with a mitigation measure and deny Zone Change No. 92-3 with the following findings: FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - ZONE CHANGE NO. 92-3 : 1. The proposed zone change from TLSP-B (Townlot Specific Plan Section B) to C2 (Community Business) does not conform with the Land Use Element of the General Plan which designates the subject property as Medium Density Residential . The property is inadequate in size to meet the goals, needs and criteria of the community business district . The subject property consists of two (2) , 25 foot wide lots that most likely will not be able to provide adequate parking, landscaping, and setbacks and will impact off-street parking on 17th Street . The current zoning 415 Staff Report - 7/7/93 -4- (7060d) and general plan designations call for residential use of the property and an amendment of the zoning would preclude the development of two (2) residential units . 2 . The proposed zone change from TLSP-B (Townlot Specific Plan Section B) to C2 (Community Business) is not consistent with surrounding residential land uses . The property is surrounded on three (3) sides by property zoned and general planned for residential uses . The property is too narrow for a curb cut on 17th Street so all access to on-site parking would take place through the alley through residential uses . A commercial use of the property is not compatible with the surrounding residential district . 11 . 0 ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The Planning Commission may approve Zone Change No. 92-3 with findings and conditions of approval and forward to the City Council for adoption.

(zoned R-2*) Ellsworth Products Co. has be-en located at 31_1_-17th since 1970, at which time the zoning was M-2. Due to re-zoning of this area of 17th Street from M-2 to R-2* sometime in the late 1970's (initiated by the City of Huntington :each) , Luis business is now classified as a non- conforming use in a R-24: area.

By extending the C-2 zoning to include lots #13 and #14, the C-2 zone will be a contiguous 150 feet. This will correct the classification of the building and business on lot #13 and allow compatible develop-cent of lot #14. Lot #14 is the only undeveloped lot in the 300 block of 17th Street. The property and business owners of 301-17th and of 305-17th are in favor of this requested C-2 extension. Sincerely, Jack H.

Since there are already commercial buildings surrounding the vacant lot at 309 17th Street it seems to me that it is logical to extend that zoning to this vacant lot . If you build a residential property between these commercial properties it would certainly be less desirable for the tenants . There is also a parking problem evenings and weekends in this area.

I own the 10 unit apartment complex located at 314- 18th St. which is located slightly to the North and across the alley from the subject property. The applicants request for this zone change seems sensible and proper as this will add lots #13 and #14 (311-17th and 309- 17th) to the existing C2 zone which now includes lots #15 and #16 (3 05-17 th and 3 01-17 th) . Lots #13 , #15 and 016 have all been developed with commercial buildings and are used commercially. Lots #13 and #14 , which are now zoned TLSP-B should, in my opinion, also be zoned C2.

Since there are already commercial buildings surrounding the vacant lot at 309 17th Street it seems to me that it is logical to extend that zoning to this vacant lot . If you build a residential property between these commercial properties it would certainly be less desirable for the tenants . There is also a parking problem evenings and weekends in this area. Commercial property lessen this problem because they normally require parking only week days . For these reasons I am in favor of the zoning change . Sincerely, Robert A.

Snyder 310 - 18th Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 September 2, 1993 City Council City of Huntington Beach Huntington Beach, CA Re : Zone Change No. 92-3 Council Members, With regard to Zone Change No. 92-3 , a change from TLSP-B to C2 Commercial, we wish to present our position. As owner/residents of 310 - 18th Street, located across the alley from the subject property, we have no objection to the applicant ' s request . The businesses at 301, 305 and 311 - 17th Street were here when we purchased our property. These businesses seem well-located and add to the commercial base of the City. Further, it was our understanding that the vacant site directly behind our property (309 - 17th Street) was also zoned for commercial use and would not be developed with multiple-family residential use . It has been our experience in the past three years that the high density residential property tend to have seasonal occupancy and create more of a noise and police nuisance than do the existing SMALL commercial properties . With 301 and 305 - 17th Street already zoned C2 and having been in commercial use for years, and with 311 - 17th Street already developed with a compatible use, it seems only reasonable that 309 and 311 - 17th Street should also be zoned C2 . It is our understanding that granting the applicant ' s request will extend the existing C2 zone to include 309 and 311 - 17th Street . This inclusion will make possible the development of the vacant lot at 309 - 17th Street . Respectfully, �• e-1 P 01 September 2, 1993 City Council City of Huntington Beach Dear Members: I wish to express my position relating to, Zone Change No. 92-3 , a change from TLSP-B to C2 Commercial. I am an owner/resident at 312-18th Street, located directly across the alley from the subject property. The businesses at 301, 305 and 311 17th Street certainly have presented no problems, parking, traffic or otherwise. In fact, I believe they are an asset to the neighborhood and the city as well. As I understand, 301 and 305 17th Street are zoned C2 and have been used commercially for many years. The property at 311-17th Street has also been in commercial use for many years, however due to a zone change instigated by the City some years ago from M2 to residential, it is now classified as a "none comforming use" in a residential area. The undeveloped lot at 309-17th Street, located between two commercial buildings should be included in the C2 zone. I believe the applicants request for a zone change from TLSP-B to C2 is a reasonable and logical request and should be granted. Respectf y, Robert Meier 312-18th Street Huntington Beach, Ca. 92648 0 We the undersigned, petition the Council of the City of Huntington Beach to vote in favor of Zone Change # 92-3 / Negative Declaration # 92-34 (309 and 311- 17th Street) , hereby granting the applicants request to extend the C2 zone (lots 15 and 16 , 17th Street) to include lots #13 and #14 , 17th Street.

The subject property is located in the South Westerly 150 foot of the 300 block of 17th Street, Huntington. Beach. The applicant, Mr. Ellsworth, has owned lot #13 (311- 17th) since 1966 and lot #14 (309- 17th) since 1975. Lot #13 (311-17th) was improved with the construction of a commercial building in 1968 at which time the zoning of 17th Street was M2. This has been the location of Mr. Ellsworth"s business since that time. Lot #14 (309- 17th) is an unimproved lot. This lot is located between two commercial buildings and is currently zoned TLSP-B (residential) . The request is simply to extend the existing C2 zone (lot #16 (301-17th) and lot #15 (305-17th) ) to include lot #14 (309-17th) and lot #13 (311-17t.h) .

As owner/residents of 310 - 18th Street, located across the alley from the subject property, we have no objection to the applicant ' s request . The businesses at 301, 305 and 311 - 17th Street were here when we purchased our property. These businesses seem well-located and add to the commercial base of the City. Further, it was our understanding that the vacant site directly behind our property (309 - 17th Street) was also zoned for commercial use and would not be developed with multiple-family residential use . It has been our experience in the past three years that the high density residential property tend to have seasonal occupancy and create more of a noise and police nuisance than do the existing SMALL commercial properties . With 301 and 305 - 17th Street already zoned C2 and having been in commercial use for years, and with 311 - 17th Street already developed with a compatible use, it seems only reasonable that 309 and 311 - 17th Street should also be zoned C2 . It is our understanding that granting the applicant ' s request will extend the existing C2 zone to include 309 and 311 - 17th Street . This inclusion will make possible the development of the vacant lot at 309 - 17th Street . Respectfully, RECEIVED- CITY OLc"i7A CITY 1;7 HUNNICTt h :1P , CALIF. September 2, 1993 SEP 2 3 33 P1.1193 City Council City of Huntington Beach Dear Members: I wish to express my position relating to Zone Change No. 92-3, a change from TLSP-B to C2 Commercial. I am an owner/resident at 312-18th Street, located directly across the alley from the subject property. The businesses at 301, 305 and 311 17th Street certainly have presented no problems, parking, traffic or otherwise. In fact, I believe they are an asset to the neighborhood and the city as well. As I understand, 301 and 305 17th Street are zoned C2 and have been used commercially for many years. The property at 311-17th Street has also been in commercial use for many years, however due to a zone change instigated by the City some years ago from M2 to residential, it is now classified as a "none comforming use" in a residential area. The undeveloped lot at 309-17th Street, located between two commercial buildings should be included in the C2 zone. I believe the applicants request for a zone change from TLSP-B to C2 is a reasonable and logical request and should Ibe granted. RespZ1 . f Robeier 312-18th Street Huntington Beach, Ca . 92648 �YfD C!TY C'zzaj; NllitTlti CITY�s SEP 3 33 Sri 3 Huntington Beach City Counsel July 21, 1993 City of Huntington Beach, Ca. 92648 Council Members , I wish to express my position relating to zone case 92-3 , the application for a zone change of lots #13 and #14 (311-17th and 309-17th) from TLSP-B to C2. I own the 10 unit apartment complex located at 314-18th St. which is located slightly to the North and across the alley from the subject property. The applicants request for this zone change seems sensible and proper as this will add lots #13 and #14 (311-17th and 309- 17th) to the existing C2 zone which now includes lots #15 and #16 (305-17th and 301-17th) . Lots #13 ,#15 and #16 have all been developed with commercial buildings and are used commercially. Lots #13 and #14 , which are now zoned TLSP-B should, in my opinion, also be zoned C2.

The subject property is located in the South Westerly 150 foot of the 300 block of 17th Street, Huntington Beach. The applicant, Mr. Ellsworth, has owned lot #13 (311-17th) since 1966 and lot #14 (309- 17th) since 1975. Lot #13 (311-17th) was improved with the construction of a commercial building in 1968 at which time the zoning of 17th Street was M2. This has been the location of Mr. Ellsworth's business since that time. Lot #14 (309- 17th) is an unimproved lot. This lot is located between two commercial buildings and is currently zoned TLSP-B (residential) . The request is simply to extend the existing C2 zone (lot #16 (301-17th) and lot #15 (305-17th) ) to include lot #14 (309-17th) and lot #13 (311-17th) . Granting this request will correct the use designation of the subject property and promote the sensible development of lot #14. The C2 zone will then be a contiguous 150 ft.

Lind 6021 Littlefield Dr. Huntington Beach, CA 92648 July 6, 1993 Planning Commission City of Huntington Beach Reference : Case 92-3 To Whom it May Concern: I am the owner of the property at 313 17th Street . Since there are already commercial buildings surrounding the vacant lot at 309 17th Street it seems to me that it is logical to extend that zoning to this vacant lot . If you build a residential property between these commercial properties it would certainly be less desirable for the tenants . There is also a parking problem evenings and weekends in this area. Commercial property lessen this problem because they normally require parking only week days . For these reasons I am in favor of the zoning change . Sincerely, Robert A.

HUNTINGTON BEACH CALIF 92648 JULY 7 , 1993 PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH - REFERENCE CASE # 92-3 I RESIDE & OWN THE PROPERTY AT 302 18TH ST-CORNER OF 18TH & OLIVE JACK ELLSWORTH'S PROPERTY AT 309 17TH ST IS IN THE MIDDLE OF 3 COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS IN THAT STRETCH OF BLOCK. I SEE NO REASON WHY THE ZONING ON THAT LOT SHOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT THAN THE COMMERCIAL ZONING SURROUNDING IT. AS A BUILDER , I WOULD NOT WISH TO BUILD RESIDENTIAL DWELLINGS BETWEEN COMMERCIAL LOTS AND A BUYER FOR THOSE RESIDENCES WOULD BE CONSIDERING THAT AS A LESS DESIRABLE LOCATION. THE PARKING CONGESTION IS ON THE WEEKENDS AND NIGHTS . I DON 'T THINK THIS WOULD ADD TO THE PROBLEM BECAUSE ANY ADDITIONAL VEHICLES FROM THE COMMERCIAL WOULD BE ON WEEKDAYS . I AM IN FAVOR OF MR .

On July 20th, the Planning Commission approved Planned Sign Program No. 93-1 and Special Sign Permit 93-24 (with conditions). These conditions limited tenant sign letter height to 19", instead of 24". The Downtown Design Guidelines allow 18" high letters. Abdelmuti was also granted 83 square feet of signage in lieu of 77 square feet. Additional special considerations for this "local landmark" are unnecessary simply because the business has been here since 1961 . I respectfully request your ggnsideration to deny the appeal for 24" high letters. and uphQlding the Planning Commissioner's_.0ecision of July 20th, 1993. The other g_IYgrnative would be to deny special__condisiQns already givers and follow the Downtown Design Guidelines. _D�Z ITEM D-3: ZONE CHANGE REQUEST AT 309 & 311 17TH STREET FROM TOWNLOT SPECIFIC PLAN T01 OFFICE PROFESSIONAL. The property in question is designated Medium Density Residential. The rezoning requested by the landowner from Townlot Specific Plan, Sec. B to C2 Commercial Business, does not conform in size or use with the Land Use Element of the General Plan nor would the rezoning be consistent or compatible with surrounding residential land uses. Additionally, Planning Commision action of July 71h, 1993, approving Zone change No. 92-3 from TLSP-13 to Office Professional is also non- conforming in size and use and incompatible with surrounding residential uses. Please consider the action requested on ATTACHEMENT NO. 4 'FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - ZONE CHANGE NO. 92-3 (Page .31 of the staff report) which is recommended by Staff, denying a zone changp,-o-g residential neig-hborhood on 17th Street.
