PLANNING COMMISSION WRAP-UP
- Share via
WHAT HAPPENED:
The Planning Commission approved permits for a 10-foot block wall
behind a Huntington Harbour home.
WHAT IT MEANS:
The wall, a combination 4-foot retaining wall and 6-foot high block
wall, is set to go up along the rear property line of a house in the
17000 block of Westport Drive.
Similar walls were approved for two locations in the 16000 block of
Westport Drive and included setback stipulations to allow for vegetation
to screen the walls from other nearby residence.
City officials said the proposed design of the wall, with its
landscape planter to screen it from neighbors, is acceptable to the
Huntington Harbour Property Assn., which has worked with the city on
similar projects in the past.
Vote:
6-0, with Commissioner Jan Shomaker absent.
WHAT HAPPENED:
Commissioners OK’d a proposal for a 600-square-foot covered patio area
for interior dining at 221 Main St.
WHAT IT MEANS:
The new restaurant Tuna Town will be allowed to replace an existing
glass window screen along the front city-owned plaza area with a 5-foot
stucco wall that would match with the rest of the building. Windows would
be installed between existing support columns.
Tuna Town, a planned sushi/teppan restaurant, already had the capacity
for an outdoor dining patio, but owners said an enclosed area was
preferable because it allowed year-round evening dining and appealed to
upscale clientele.
Vote:
6-0. with Commissioner Jan Shomaker absent.
NEXT MEETING
The Planning Commission will reconvene 7 p.m. July 10 in the council
chambers of City Hall at 2000 Main St.
