Bartlett Councilwoman Norma Gibbs Councilman Alvin Coen Huntington Beach City Council IP, 0® Box 190 Huntington Beach, California 92646 Gentlemen: The Orange County Chapter, Building Industry Association of California wishes to comment on proposed Huntington Beach Standards for Apartment Developments adopted on March 9, 1971 by the Planning Commission as follows: Density - We recommend that for R-2 Medium Density the square footage be increased ,from 2000 to 2400 square feet rather that 3000 square feet per unit, which is rather restrictive as compared to other cities of the County. We recommend that R-3 remain at 1250 square feet per unit and that R- 4 remain at 1000 square feet per unit. We concur in minimum floor area requirements. Building Coverage - We concur in the building coverage requirements. Building Height - We recommend that the maximum building height be established at 35 feet with no limitation as to whether it shall be a 2 story or 3 story structure. This would encourage subterranean parking where feasible and give greater flexibility in land use and. design, Setback From A Public Street - Concur _ �� o AFFILIATED WITH THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF HOME BUILDERS - - - Setback From Interior Property Line 1. Concur 2. Do not concur in 1 foot additional setback being related to the length of the building facing the prop- erty line of a single family residential development. 3. Do not concur in the requirement of the 100 feet setback, however do concur in the 85 feet setback where the building is separated from the property 'line by park- ing structures such as carports or garages. Minimum Distance Between Build�_ins - Concur Private Streets Or Driveways - Concur Off Street ParkLn-, -- Recommend the following parking ratios which include guest parking requirements : Bachelor Units 1 .25 1 & 2 Bedroom 1.5 3 Bedroom 2.25 with the requirement that at least one covered space be provided for each unit, the balance to be open parking In an actual car count survey conducted by BIA on 64 separate projects containing 4493 units in 3 counties and 20 cities, ca.r counts were made on various days throughout the week at 8:00 P .M. , 12:00 Midnight, and 4:00 A.M® , it was revealed that median actual car counts by apartment mix were as follows : Bachelor Units 1.0 1 & 2 Bedroom 1. 3 3 Bedroom 2.0 The bulk of the above studies were taken on Friday, 31!7,t- urd.ay and Sunday nights in an attempt to determine the maximum periods of guest loading. We therefore believe that the above parking requirements are entirely adequate. TyRt Of Parking FaciLit - Generally concur, however, l- recommend. an additional paragraph requiring interior lighting of carports as well as the subsequent para- graph dealing with lighting on driveways. Most property managers report that interior lighting o_E` carports will reduce theft to almost zero. Turning Radius and LarkiaE Space Dimensions Concur Parking Assignments - Recommend unit assignment of only covered parking spaces. Assignment of uncovered parking spaces is impossible to enforce. Recreation and. Leisure Area Sub-paragraph c - Recommend adding private balconies and patio areas which should be credited to open space requirements, Sub-paragraph Note - At the bottom of page Do not understand the definition of "useable recreation and leisure, etc, , etc , " Concur with the remainder of the proposed ordinance.
