Dear Mr. Herbst:
In order to assist you with your development proposal, staff reviewed the project and identified applicable city policies, standard plans, and development and use requirements excerpted from the City of Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and Municipal Codes. This list is intended to help you through the permitting process and various stages of project implementation.
It should be noted this requirement list is in addition to any "conditions of approval" adopted by the Planning Commission.

HUNTINGTON BEACH
DATE: MARCH 28, 2019
PROJECT NAME: ELLIS AVENUE CONDOS
PLANNING APP #: 17-205
ENTITLEMENTS: CUP #17-042
DATE OF PLANS: MARCH 7, 2019
PROJECT LOCATION: 8041 ELLIS AVE. (NORTH SIDE OF ELLIS AVE., EAST OF BEACH BLVD.)
ASSIGNED PLANNER: JESSICA BUI, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
PLAN REVIEWER: JAN THOMAS, CPTED CONSULTANT - HBPD
TELEPHONE/E-MAIL: (949) 290-1604/[email protected]
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: *Updated architectural plans, landscaping, hydrology, WOMP, tentative tract map, and grading. To demolish a single family residence, liquor store, and a portion of an existing carwash to construct a four-story 48-unit condominium development with 891 SF of ground floor commercial and three levels of subterranean parking on a 0.955 acre site.
The following is a list of code requirements deemed applicable to the proposed project based on plans stated above. The list is intended to assist the applicant by identifying requirements, which must be satisfied during the various stages of project permitting and implementation. A list of conditions of approval adopted by the Planning Commission in conjunction with the requested entitlements), if any, will also be provided upon final project approval. If you have any questions regarding these requirements, please contact the Plan Reviewer.
No further concerns.
December 23, 2019 comments:
No concerns regarding revised plans.
Access control doors were added to the first floor residential hallway, as requested at our meeting with the developer.
A copy of past comments is included below for reference:
ENTRANCE
Use enhanced paving at the driveway entrance to the project.
WINDOW TO FRONT OF RESIDENCE
Ideally, give each resident an opportunity to personalize, to a limited extent, the exterior of their unit. Each unit shows a kitchen facing the exterior walkway. Consider a design to incorporate a shelfing or display area in each kitchen window to allow each resident to personalize (take ownership) over the outward appearance of their individual unit.
RADIO TRANSMISSION
Ensure radio transmission works in this three-level subterranean parking. Public Safety radios might not transmit well in the lower levels. It is imperative that an effective antenna be installed so that emergency personnel can receive and transmit in the parking structure. Install a system conducive to public safety radio transmission. Contact Orange County Communications at (714) 704-7919 for specifics, if there are questions.
POLICE ACCESS
Concern:
Is there a Knox-Box? Police must have access.
Recommend:
If there is a Knox-Box on the property, install a "duel" Knox-Box to ensure police officers, as well as firefighters, have access to the property.
SURVEILLANCE
Install surveillance cameras throughout the property and parking areas. Include elevators, stairwells, storage, courtyard, entrances and exits.
Concern:
Is this access-controlled parking?
How will guest parking be regulated? Guest parking is shown in the parking structure. Is there controlled access into the structure? If so, how do the guests park in the structure? It is recommended that 24/7 security personnel, as well as surveillance cameras (recorded) be positioned in the parking area, as well as in and around the property.
Concern:
Private storage area in the parking area should be equipped with a motion sensor light inside.
Ideally, the door leading to the storage should contain a security window so residents can see into the storage area before entering. Panic hardware is recommended to be used inside the door.
Storage door is shown to swing inward. Advise that the door swing outward, and equipped with emergency hardware, in case someone in the storage room needs to exit quickly to avoid a potential assault, etc.
Concern:
Lighting in parking area should be concentrated between the vehicles. Since most parking garage crime occurs between the vehicles, this area is especially important to light well.
PRIVATE PATIO AND ROOF DECK:
The roof deck will be used by residents from other units, as well as the residents who actually own a patio deck on that roof. There is a potential conflict between public (residents) use of the roof deck, and the semi-private patios owned by the residents that share that roof deck. This topic should be explored. For example, post roof deck hours. Even posting hours may not avoid a conflict of use in this area.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON THE CONCEPTUAL GRADING PLAN:
34. The finished floor elevations indicated on the Conceptual Grading Plan are lower than the surrounding landscape planter areas and landscape swale at the northerly portion of the site. As a prudent design the swale flowline elevations should be lower than finished floor elevations to allow positive drainage away from the building foundations.
35. Section C-C shall include a cross section of the proposed underground detention basin, including width and depth dimensions and distance from the new public right-of-way line. The proposed underground detention basin shall be located a minimum distance of 10 feet from the new public right-of-way line.
Section D-D indicates a swale flowline lower than the new finished floor elevation. However, the plan view above shows spot elevations of a swale (and area drain) higher than the new finished floor.
37. Section D-D indicates building setback dimension of 11 feet from the northerly property line, whereas the plan view above shows a setback dimension of 15 feet.
