Developer appeals Huntington Beach commission’s denial of 48-unit residential-commercial project
A Corona-based developer is getting a second shot to pitch a plan to build 48 residential units at the northeast corner of Beach Boulevard and Ellis Avenue after the Huntington Beach Planning Commission denied the project in June.
Tahir Salim appealed the commission’s decision, pushing his proposal to the City Council in August. The council could accept the proposal or stand by the ruling by the commission, which cited concerns about vehicle circulation and said the development would be incompatible with adjacent buildings.
It’s unclear whether Salim will modify his proposal or leave it as is. Salim and project director Jeff Herbst of Irvine-based MCG Architecture did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday.
