PUBLIC HEARING
22. 22-361 Approved for introduction Ordinance No. 4252 approving Zoning Text Amendment
No. 22-001 amending development standards for minor accessory structures
Director of Community Development Ursula Luna -Reynosa introduced Assistant Planner Tess Nguyen
who presented a PowerPoint communication titled Zoning Text Amendment No. 22-001 -Minor
Accessory Structures with slides entitled : Request, Background (2), Analysis (2), and Recommendation .
Director Luna-Reynosa provided additional background information to explain why this item is before the
City Council. Code Enforcement confirmed non-compliance of 32 out of 40 cases throughout Huntington
Beach, information that was reported by a Public Speaker. Director Luna-Reynosa stated there are two
codes that address minor accessory structures: State Building Code and Huntington Beach Zoning
Code . The Building Code exempts structures that are 120 square feet or less from requiring a building
permit. The City's Zoning Code does provide for a setback exemption if the structure is 64 square feet or
less , and six feet in height or less ; however, the majority of the 32 noted structures are larger than that.
She noted that staff suggests the City's Zoning Code for minor accessory structures be changed to
match the State's Build ing Code square footage , but keeping the height at eight feet for consistency w ith
currently allowed wall height.
Director Luna-Reynosa stated that based on the 32 units currently out of compliance, keeping the height
requirement to eight feet would resolve five cases ; a height requirement of nine feet would resolve 14
cases ; and a height of ten feet would resolve 21 cases. Director Luna -Reynosa also provided square
footage and height requirements from other area cities , and noted that since December, when
preparation for this Ordinance began, Code Enforcement has only issued Notices of Violation, not Civil
Citations.
Councilmember Peterson confirmed with Assistant Planner Nguyen that lattice screening is only required
for the wall beside the shed, does not need to extend beyond that, and that the Planning Commission
recommends a ten-foot shed height, whereas staff recommends an eight-foot shed height.
Mayor Pro Tern Posey clarified with staff that the term "lattice" is codified to describe a 50 percent (50%)
privacy screen , and if Council desires to change that provision in the Code, they would have to direct
staff to come back with another zoning text amendment.
Mayor Delgleize and Director Luna-Reynosa discussed that "grandfathering" only applies if a permit was
issued, and none of these sheds have been previously permitted .
Councilmember Carr confirmed with Director Luna-Reynosa that structure height is determined from
grade, not top of footing.
Councilmember Moser and Director Luna-Reynosa discussed that the Building Code does not require a
Building Permit; however, the Zoning Code conta ins property line and structure setbacks , and this
Council/PFA Regular Minutes
and Housing Authority Special Minutes
May 17, 2022
Page 15 of 21
Ordinance is considering an exception from those standards. Director Luna-Reynosa further clarified
that anyone building an accessory structure greater than 120 square feet would require a building permit
and be subject to the setback requirements in the Building Code as well as the Zoning Code . If an
accessory structure is 120 square feet or less , but over height restrictions , it would not require a Building
Permit but would have to be brought into compliance with Zoning Code setbacks .
Councilmember Kalmick and Director Luna-Reynosa discussed sheds in the coastal zone and how minor
zoning text amendments within the zone are submitted annually to the California Coastal Commission
(CCC), and do not take effect in the coastal zone until the CCC has reviewed the Local Coastal Program
Amendments (LCPAs).
Councilmember Kalmick confirmed with Assistant Planner Nguyen that staff interprets "lattice" as being
substantially open. Director Luna-Reynosa noted that opaque screens are generally allowed unless
there are complaints. Director Luna-Reynosa confirmed for Councilmember Kalmick that the Zoning
Code currently provides for an administrative permit process that allows for up to ten percent deviation,
and the cost for the process is somewhere between $1,000 to $2,000.
Councilmember Peterson discusses reasons why the Council should address the lattice issue a later
date.
Mayor Delgleize opened the Public Hearing for this item.
Pursuant to the Brown "Open Meetings" Act, City Clerk Robin Estanislau announced supplemental
communication received by her office for this Public Hearing after d istribut ion of the Agenda packet:
Public Hearing
#22 (22-361) Correspondence between Peter Dawson and staff regarding Ordinance No. 4252
approving Zoning Text Amendment No . 22-001 amending development standards for
minor accessory structures .
Email communication regarding Ordinance No. 4252 approving Zoning Text Amendment
No. 22-001 amending development standards for minor accessory structures .
Public Speakers -3
Peter Dawson, a teacher in the Huntington Beach School District and long-time resident, was called to
speak and stated he is one of the group of people notified of a shed violation . Mr. Dawson described his
efforts to research the heights of commercially available sheds , 75% of which are over 8 feet, and read a
letter he received from a representative of Tuff Shed, a popular shed manufacturer, stating specific
considerations for a shed foundation, which can raise a shed 6 inches off the ground for preservation of
the floor, and therefore recommends allowing 10 feet shed height. (04:05:09)
Sid Hymes was called to speak and stated he had appeared before the Planning Commission , and
stated his support for the Planning Commission's recommended 10-foot height for sheds, and noted if
that height was accepted it would eliminate an issue for a majority of people . (04 :08:25)
Jim Nashar was called to speak and shared that over the 20 years since his shed was installed , Code
Enforcement has been on his property multiple times for permitted pool , roofing , and solar inspections

and never once noted any violations regarding his shed which was built per City code at that time , and is
located three feet from his home and 16 feet from the street (04 :09:28)
Mayor Delgleize closed this Public Hearing .
Director Luna-Reynosa noted that the staff recommended numbers come from the local Municipal Code
that was established by City Council , and Council has the opportunity to change those numbers if they
would like to. Director Luna-Reynosa and Mayor Delgleize discussed options based on lot size, and
Director Luna-Reynosa e x plained that larger sheds might be appropriate for larger properties vs smaller
properties that are in closer proximity to their neighbors.
A motion was made by Carr, second Delgleize, to after City Clerk reads by title , find that Zoning Text
Amendment No. 22-001 is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15601 (b )(3) (General Rule) of the CEQA Guidelines, because there is no potential
for the amendment to the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance to have a significant
effect on the environment ; and, approve Zoning Text Amendment No . 22-001 with findings (Attachment
No . 1) by approving introduction of City Council Ordinance No . 4252, "An Ordinance of the City Council
of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Chapter 203 and Chapter 230 of the Huntington Beach
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Relat ing to Minor Accessory Structures (Zoning Text Amendment No .
22-001 )" (Attachment No . 2), Planning Commission recommendation.
Councilmember Peterson asked , and Director Luna-Reynosa confirmed that staff would need to bring
forth an additional amendment at a later date that would address lattice.
Councilmember Kalmick stated his opinion that it does not make sense to approve an 8-foot screen
height if sheds can be up to 10 feet tall. He further recommended that the whole item be continued ,
rather than addressing lattice as a separate issue .
A substitute motion was made by Kalmick to after City Clerk reads by title, find that Zoning Text
Amendment No . 22-001 is categorically exempt from the Ca lifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15601 (b)(3) (Genera l Rule) of the CEQA Guidelines, because there is no potential
for the amendment to the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance to have a significant
effect on the environment; and , approve Zoning Text Amendment No. 22-001 with findings (Attachment
No . 1) by approving introduction of City Council Ord inance No . 4252 , "An Ordinance of the City Council
of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Chapter 203 and Chapter 230 of the Huntington Beach
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Relating to Minor Accessory Structures (Zoning Text Amendment No.
22-001 )" (Attachment No. 2), Alternative Action (Planning Commission's recommendation with
staff's suggested modifications).
The substitute motion failed due to lack of a second .
Interim City Manager Joyce discussed options offered for staff to come back to a date certain , and
suspend enforcement, to incorporate Council and community thoughts on the issues expressed during
this Public Hearing .
Mayor Pro Tern Posey clarified that this item does not just pertain to storage sheds, but also includes pet
shelters , playhouses, pagodas, gazebos, and decorative elements.

Approved Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 and Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042
(Ellis Avenue Condos)
Community Development Director Ursula Luna-Reynosa introduced this item by explaining this project
was denied by the Planning Commission in 2019 , appealed to the City Council, which was also denied in
2020 . Multiple lawsuits were then filed by the developer. The decisions were based on provisions of the
Housing Accountability Act, which was first adopted in 1982. The Housing Accountability Act has
changed through the years by legislation , most recently in 2017 , and Director Luna-Reynosa read the
intent statement: "The Legislature's intent in enacting this section in 1982 and expanding its provisions
since then was to significantly increase the approval and construction of new housing for all economic
segments of California's communities by meaningfully and effectively curbing the capability of local
governments to deny reduced density for, or render unfeasible, housing development projects and
emergency shelters." Further, Director Luna-Reynosa noted that two conditions of approva l have been
agreed to by the applicant, which have been incorporated into the request for entitlement. These two
conditions satisfy the City's health and safety concerns, from staffs perspective , and the project does
meet all the objective development standards of the Beach and Edinger Corridor Specific Plan .

Public Speakers -2
William Tomerlin, an 11-year resident of an apartment complex next door to the 6-story Elan
Development, was called to speak and stated his opposition to the Ellis Avenue Condos project based

COUNCILMEMBER ITEMS
25. 22-434 Approved item submitted by Councilmembers Bolton and Moser -Direct staff to
perform a comprehensive update of the Coyote Management Plan
Councilmember Bolton introduced this item by thanking Chief Parra for organizing the recent Townhall to
address resident concerns regarding coyote management. She explained that the City adopted a
Coyote Management Plan in 2015 , but she and Councilmember Moser would like to request a review of
that Plan . They are asking that staff take a fresh look at what other municipalities are doing to determine
if changes may be appropriate to improve the situation . They are also asking for a review of the fines for
infractions, and any other ways to help protect people and their children and pets .

Councilmember Moser noted that the Townhall meeting seemed to uncover the fact there is a lot of
public confusion over whether to call City, County or State agencies regarding coyote activity. She
stated one of the objectives of a review is to provide an opportunity for better community communication
regarding the Coyote Plan, and ensuring that best practices are being used . Councilmember Moser
added that regular reports on the plan and its effectiveness are needed, as well as coyote tracking
enhancements, and ensuring the contract with Orange County Animal Care is in alignment with the
Coyote Management Plan.
Councilmember Carr stated her support for this item and noted that in just the last year she feels the
number of coyotes has really increased in her neighborhood.
Mayor Pro Tern Posey stated his support for the item, and noted increased wild animal activity in his
neighborhood in just the last 90 days. He is supportive of the plan for increased reporting on coyote
activity, and suggested updated instructions on how to use the MyHB app for better tracking. He also
suggested using Neighborhood Watch and other existing organizations to help distribute information .
Mayor Delgleize shared her opinion that reporting coyote activity on social media may not be the best
way to get the information out for tracking purposes, and how unfortunate that some people continue to
feed the coyotes. Police Chief Parra confirmed that the coyote sighting reporting mechanism is MyHB,
unless there is an immediate threat that should trigger a 911 call. Mayor Delgleize thanked staff for the
recent Coyote Townhall, and stated her support for this item.
A motion was made by Bolton, second Moser to direct staff to identify operational enhancements to the
City's Coyote Management Plan , as described, and provide a status report of same within 30 days.

Approved item submitted by Councilmembers Kalmick and Posey -Formation of
Charter Review Ballot Measure Ad Hoc Committee
Councilmember Kalmick stated it appears that many residents are misinformed regarding this item, and
he explained the timeline for the Charter Review Commission's recommendations do require immediate
Council action to ensure meeting ballot deadlines. He confirmed this process is protecting democracy
and ensuring that voters have the final say, and stated the purpose of the Ballot Measure Ad Hoc
Committee is to ensure concise, cohesive ballot measure(s) for the Charter Review Committee's 18
different recommendations. Councilmember Kalmick explained that City Attorney Michael Gates would
write an impartial analysis. He thanked the Charter Review Committee for their work, and stated a report
will be presented to Council at their June 7 regular meeting.
Mayor Pro Tern Posey stated that the Charter Review Committee was convened at the request of the
voters twelve years ago. He further stated his support for an ad hoc committee to review and analyze
the Charter Review Committee's 18 separate items as it is probably not helpful or appropriate to place all
items in one ballot measure. Mayor Pro Tern Posey stated this effort will allow the voters to approve, or
not, the various Commission recommendations, rather than presenting an all or nothing option.

changes can be made without voter approval. She stated her support for this ad hoc committee in order

rather is a parallel process for a complicated issue.
A motion was made by Kalmick, second Posey to form an ad hoc committee to review Charter Rev iew
Committee work product and make a recommendation to the full Council on what ballot items should be
presented to the voters and how t hose items will be packaged together. This committee should also be
