• Staffs Recommendation:

Approve General Plan Amendment No. 98-1, Zoning Map Amendment No. 96-5A & 5B, and Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 96-4 based upon the following:

- The proposed general plan amendment amends the General Plan Land Use Map to accommodate a larger and more useable neighborhood park area and designates the annexation area for low density residential uses and open space conservation. The proposed RL land use designation on the area proposed for annexation will result in lower density than is currently allowed under the County designation. The Fire Department has determined that a station is not needed at this location.

- The proposed zoning map amendment amends the City's zoning map to accommodate a larger and more useable neighborhood park area, adds the CZ (Coastal Zone) suffix to ensure that zoning provisions consistent with the California Coastal Act are applied, and pre-zones the annexation area for low density residential and open space conservation uses consistent with the General Plan Amendment.

- The proposed changes will result in compatible land uses and will not negatively impact surrounding properties.

- The proposed amendments to General Plan and zoning designations will not result in significant adverse environmental impacts.

PROJECT PROPOSAL:

General Plan Amendment No. 98-1 represents a request to amend the Huntington Beach General Plan (Attachment No. 1) pursuant to California Planning, Zoning, and Development Laws, and the Huntington Beach General Plan as follows:

1) Amend the Land Use Plan to re-designate 2.8 acres from RL-7 (Low Density Residential) to OS-P (Open Space-Park). The purpose is to expand the current park area shown on the General Plan to accommodate the proposed larger park.

2) Amend the Land Use Plan to pre-designate an approximately 4.9 acre parcel within the County of Orange as follows: 3.3 acres as OS-C (Open Space - Conservation); and 1.6 acres as RL-7 (Low Density Residential - maximum 7 units per acre).

3) Amend the Public Facilities & Public Services Element by removing the "proposed" Graham Street Fire Station depicted on Figure PF-1, Public Facilities Locations.

The current Land Use Element Map designates an approximately 5.4 acre site in a triangular shape located in the northwestern comer of the site for park purposes. The majority of this area has a steep quadrant and would be unusable for active recreational uses. Approximately 2.8 acres of flat useable area would be added to the park. This will accommodate the proposed 8.2 acre park in the northwest portion of the site, which includes 4.1 acres of passive park area (bluff and down slopes), and 4.1 acres of flat area at the base of the bluff, which will provide for recreational activities.

The 4.9 acre parcel is contiguous to the 45 acre parcel within the City. The General Plan Amendment reflects a request by the applicant to locate nine residential units in this area, which results in lowering the density on 1.6 acres from Medium Low Density Residential (6.5 - 12.5 units per acre) per the County to Low Density Residential. The remaining area proposed as Open Space - Conservation would be undeveloped.

Zoning Map Amendment Nos. 96-5A & 5B represent a request to change the Huntington Beach Zoning Map - DM 33 pursuant to Section 247.02 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (ZSO) as follows:

1) 5A - Rezone approximately 40 acres of the subject property to add CZ (Coastal Zone Overlay) to the existing RL-FP2 (Low Density Residential - Floodplain Overlay) designation; and rezone 8.2 acres from RA-CZ (Residential Agriculture - Coastal Zone) and RL-FP2 (Low Density Residential) to OS-PR-CZ (Open Space-Parks and Recreation-Coastal Zone) consistent with the General Plan.

2) 5B - Pre-zone the approximately 4.9 acre County of Orange parcel as follows: approximately 1.6 acres RL-7 - FP2 - CZ (Residential Low Density - Floodplain Overlay - Coastal Zone Overlay Districts); and approximately 3.3 acres CC - FP2 - CZ (Coastal Conservation - Floodplain Overlay - Coastal Zone Overlay Districts). The current County of Orange designation on the 4.9 acre parcel is MLR (Medium Low Density Residential, 6.5-12.5 dwelling units per acre).

PC Staff Report - 9/10/02 -4- (02sr34 GPA/ZMA/LCPA)

The Zoning Map Amendment will result in having the CZ (Coastal Zone) suffix added to the entire project site to ensure that the zoning provisions and permitted uses that are consistent with the California Coastal Act are applied. In addition, the base zoning of the portions of the site designated as a park would be zoned for park purposes.

Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 96-4 represents a request to amend the City's Local Coastal Program/Coastal Element pursuant to General Plan Amendment No. 98-1 and Zoning Map Amendment Nos. 96-5A and 96-5B by amending Figure C-2 and associated text in the Coastal Element (Attachment

No. 6).

Annexation No. 98-1 represents a request to annex 4.9 acres of property that is presently located in the County of Orange to the City of Huntington Beach. In September 1996, Shea Homes purchased the site located in the County along with the adjacent 45 acre site located in the City from the Metropolitan Water District. Both sites are zoned for residential use. A fiscal impact analysis has been prepared for the site (Attachment No. 10).

The general plan amendment, zoning map amendment, and local coastal program amendment are subject to City Council and California Coastal Commission approval before becoming effective. The City Council will make a recommendation to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) on the annexation. Although the Planning Commission is not required to act on the annexation, it may forward a recommendation to the City Council on the annexation.

As discussed in a separate report for the tentative tract maps, conditional use permit and coastal development permit, the overall project is a request to subdivide approximately 50 acres of property for development of 171 single family homes and dedicate an 8.2 (gross) acre neighborhood park. The residential project is in two components which are designed as an integrated whole. The applicant has filed a tentative tract map for a 162 single family residential lot subdivision on the 45 acre portion of the development site that is located in the City, and a separate tentative tract map for a 9 single family residential lot subdivision on the 4.9 acre portion of the development site that is in the County. Approval of the annexation request by LAFCO is necessary for the County portion of the project to proceed. In the event that the annexation is not approved, the applicant has proposed an alternate layout on the tentative tract map that ensures that the project can be self-contained and function adequately within the City.

Background

The project EIR references a Historical Site Usage Report covering the period of 1950 to June 1997. According to this report, from 1952 to 1959, agricultural cultivation covered the majority of the project site. By 1970, the East Garden Grove - Wintersburg Channel, located south of the project site, was constructed and agricultural uses on the site continued. In 1974, Metropolitan Water District purchased the site from Signal Landmark. In February 1975, stables were identified on the site. From June 1975 to December 1989, the project site was leased to Roy C. Purshe for cultivation of crops. Additionally, Section 5.8 Biological Resources of the EIR includes a summary description of historical on-site uses from 1952-1995 (pages 5-145 through 5-149). The City portion of the site has been zoned and general planned Low Density Residential since 1971 (Attachment No. 7).

General Plan Conformance:

The proposed general plan amendment, zoning map amendment, local coastal program amendment and annexation have been analyzed and are consistent with the following goals, objectives and policies of the City's General Plan. For purposes of this report the General Plan Conformance analysis focuses on land use issues. Design related issues are addressed in the staff report prepared for the tentative tract map and conditional use permit. It should be noted that a detailed discussion of the project's conformity with goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan is also presented in Section 5.1, Land Use Compatibility of the Draft EIR, pages 5-3 through 5-17.

A. Land Use Element

Policy LU9.3: Provide for the development of new residential subdivisions and projects that incorporate a diversity of uses and are configured to establish a distinct sense of neighborhood identity.

The general plan amendment, zoning map amendment, local coastal program amendment and annexation are proposed as part of an overall development project of 171 new single family residential homes. The project is proposed as a Planned Unit Development with a neighborhood park, private

PC Staff Report-9/10/02 -8- (02sr34 GPA/ZMA/LCPA)

common open space areas, above average setbacks in front and rear yards, varied lot sizes and a variety of product types and architectural elevations.

Objective LU 14.1: Preserve and acquire open spaces for the City's existing and future residents and provide, maintain and protect significant environmental resources, recreational opportunities and visual relief from development.

The neighborhood park is proposed to be developed with 4.1 j: acres of flat area while 4.1 j: acres of heavily vegetated (eucalyptus grove) slope area will be maintained as natural open space within the park. The project increases City recreational space while preserving natural open space. In addition, there will be 3.3 acres in the parcel within the County of Orange designated as Coastal Conservation.

Policy LU 14.1.1: Accommodate the development of public parks, coastal and water-related occupational uses, and the conservation of environmental resources in areas designated for Open Space on the Land Use Map.

The project includes the construction of an 8.2 acre neighborhood public park. Environmental resources on the project site (pocket wetlands, eucalyptus grove) will be conserved with project design, which proposes no disturbance to these resources.

Goal LU 3: Achieve the logical, orderly, and beneficial expansion of the City's services and jurisdictional limits.

The subject site is a logical expansion of residential uses. There are single family residential uses to the north, east and south of the site.

Implementation LU23:

Annexation Feasibility Study

Upon receipt of a request for annexation, the City shall conduct an "annexation feasibility study" to determine whether the proposed annexation:

a. is adjacent to existing corporate boundaries;

b. contains or will contain land uses that are compatible with City land uses;

c. contains or will contain land uses that have the ability to provide economic benefit to the City;

d. would place an undue or excessive burden on the City's or other service provider's ability to

provide services; and e. would place an undue burden on school and other public services.

Based on the study's findings, the city may pursue annexation, as appropriate. The applicant has submitted an Annexation Feasibility Study addressing the above referenced issues. Based on the study's findings the proposed annexation will not be detrimental to the City's interests.

PC Staff Report- 9/10/02 -9- (02sr34 GPA/ZMA/LCPA)

RSC Policy 2.1.3: Require parkland acquisitions to be fiscally efficient and beneficial to the needs of the community.

The neighborhood park will be beneficial to the needs of the community by providing recreational opportunities. The applicant is providing funding for park improvements in addition to the dedication of land.

B. Coastal Element

Goal Cl: Develop a land use plan for the Coastal Zone that protects and enhances coastal resources, promotes public access and balances development with facility needs.

The proposed Land Use Plan (GPA) and Implementing Ordinance (ZMA) ensure a balance of coastal resources and development. The following is a breakdown of the proposed land use designations and zoning for the City portion and proposed annexation area:

LAND USE

ACREAGE

Low Density Residential

38.4

Open Space - Park

8.2

Open Space - Conservation

3.3

TOTAL:

49.9

In addition, the proposed development plan associated with the tentative tract map, conditional use permit and coastal development permit will include the following:

• Public park improvements

• Preservation of an existing eucalyptus grove

• Improvements to an adjacent flood control channel which includes a public access trail

Policy Cl.1.8: The City shall, at minimum, consider the following when evaluating annexation proposals in the coastal zone:

a. Is the area to be annexed adjacent to existing corporate boundaries?

b. Does/will the area to be annexed contain land uses that are compatible with City land uses?

c. Does/will the area to be annexed contain land uses that have the ability to provide economic

benefit to the City? d. Would the area to be annexed place an undue or excessive burden on the City's and/or other

service provider's ability to provide services? e. Would the area to be annexed place an undue burden on school and other public services?

The area to be annexed is 4.9 acres and will consist of approximately 1.6 acres of Low Density Residential and 3.3 acres of Coastal Conservation - Open Space. The proposed land uses are compatible with surrounding land uses. The site adjacent to the City boundary.

PC Staff Report-9/10/02 -10- (02sr34 GPA/ZMA/LCPA)

There are no Visitor Serving Commercial or Industrial uses proposed on the site due to its proximity to surrounding residential and open space land uses. It is best suited for Low Density Residential and Open Space. The economic benefit will be the increase in property values and future property taxes.

The annexed area will not place an undue or excessive burden on City services, schools, and other public services as discussed in the EIR.

C. Public Facilities and Public Service Element

Policy PF 2.1.1 Locate fire stations in a manner which will enable emergency fire response times to meet a five minute standard, 80 percent of the time.

The removal of the proposed Graham Street fire station as a future site will not affect this policy (Attachment No. 8). The construction of the Edwards Hill fire station enables emergency response times to comply with this criteria for the area depicted on Figure PF2 of the PF and PS Element (Attachment No. 9).

Objective PF 2.3 Attempt to achieve "built-in" fire protection for all structures.

The project will include single family homes with built-in fire sprinklers. Zoning Compliance: Not applicable. Urban Design Guidelines Conformance: Not applicable. Environmental Status:

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 97-2 was prepared by EDAW Inc., a consultant hired by the City to analyze the potential impacts to the project. The EIR is analyzed and discussed in a separate report. The EIR must be certified by the Planning Commission prior to any action on General Plan Amendment No. 98-1, Zoning Map Amendment No. 96-5A and 5B, and Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 96-4.

Coastal Status

The proposed project is within the Coastal Zone. Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) No. 96-4 is a request to certify the approved Land Use Plan and zoning for the property pursuant to GPA No. 98-1 and ZMA Nos. 96-5A and 96-5B. The property is designated as an "Area of Deferred Certification" within the City's Local Coastal Program (LCP). It is the last such designated parcel within the City. In 1982, when the California Coastal Commission certified the City's LCP, it excluded two areas: the 232-acre "white hole" area along Pacific Coast Highway between Beach Blvd. and the Santa Ana River, and the subject 45-acre parcel. These two areas were to be study further based upon studies by the Department of Fish & Game of the areas in the early 1980's. In 1996, the 232-acre "white hole" area received final certification by the California Coastal Commission.

PC Staff Report - 9/10/02 -11- (02sr34 GPA/ZMA/LCPA)

Once the City Council acts on the general plan amendment, zoning map amendment, local coastal program amendment, and annexation, the local coastal program amendment will be forwarded to the California Coastal Commission for certification.

Redevelopment Status: Not applicable. Design Review Board: Not applicable. Subdivision Committee: Not applicable. Other Departments Concerns:

The Departments of Public Works, Fire, Police and Community Services and the Building and Safety Department have reviewed the project. Their comments and conditions are included in the EIR and Tract Map reports.

Public Notification:

For the August 27, 2002 Study Session notices were sent to property owners of record within a 1,000 ft. radius of the subject property, applicant, interested parties and individuals/organizations that commented on the environmental documents. For the September 10, 2002 public hearing, legal notice was published in the Huntington Beach/Fountain Valley Independent on August 29, 2002, and notices were sent to property owners of record within a 1,000 ft. radius of the subject property, individuals/organizations requesting notification (Planning Department's Notification Matrix), applicant, interested parties and individuals/organizations that commented on the environmental documents. As of September 5, 2002, there has been no communication supporting or opposing the general plan amendment, zoning map amendment, local coastal program amendment and annexation request submitted.

improvements to the park. The Community Services Department has coordinated closely with the developer and supports this proposal.

The General Plan is also being amended to designate the 4.9 acre site proposed for annexation as a mix of RL-7 (Residential Low Density-maximum 7 units per acre), and OS-C (Open Space - Conservation). The existing County of Orange land use designation (Medium Low Residential) permits up to 12.5 dwelling units per acre. The proposed general plan amendment will permit a density that is consistent with surrounding land uses within the City, while preserving a portion of the area known to have sensitive biological resources.

The Low Density Residential land use designation is located towards the east end of the annexed area, adjacent to the 45 acre parcel general planned and zoned for Low Density Residential. The westerly portion of the annexed parcel to be Open Space Conservation is compatible with the Bolsa Chica area.

The proposed zoning map amendment brings zoning for reconfiguration of the neighborhood park and pre-zones the site proposed for annexation into conformance with the General Plan which is required by State law. It also adds the CZ (Coastal Zone) suffix to the entire project site.

The local coastal program amendment will allow for low density residential uses, open space areas and coastal conservation opportunities in accord with the City's General Plan, Coastal Element, and California Coastal Act.

Fire Station Designation

In the 1996 General Plan Update, a fire station was depicted on the subject property. Upon reevaluation of the need for such a fire station, it has been determined that it is no longer necessary. This is due in part to the construction and operation of the Edwards Hill fire station, and response times to the surrounding area being no longer deficient. Figure PF2 (Attachment No. 9) will be updated when the General Plan is updated to reflect the areas of non-deficiency.

Annexation

The City's General Plan requires the preparation of an Annexation Feasibility Study to determine whether the proposed annexation is compatible with City land uses, has the ability to provide economic benefit to the City and whether the proposed annexation would place an undue or excessive burden on the City and/or School Districts' ability to provide public services for the site. The applicant has submitted an "Annexation Feasibility Study" (Attachment No. 10) that has determined that the forecasted revenues will exceed forecasted expenditures for the first four years of the annexed area.

SUMMARY;

Staff recommends approval of General Plan Amendment No. 98-1, Zoning Map Amendment No. 96-5A and 96-5B, and Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 96-4 for the following reasons:

PC Staff Report - 9/10/02 -13- (02sr34 GPA/ZMA/LCPA)

1. The proposed general plan amendment amends the General Plan Land Use Map to accommodate a larger and more useable neighborhood park area and designates the annexation area for low density residential uses and open space conservation. The proposed RL land use designation on the area proposed for annexation will result in lower density than is currently allowed under the County designation. The Fire Department has determined that a station is not needed at this location.

2. The proposed zoning map amendment amends the City's zoning map to accommodate a larger and more useable neighborhood park area, adds the CZ (Coastal Zone) suffix to ensure that zoning provisions consistent with the California Coastal Act are applied, and pre-zones the annexation area for low density residential and open space conservation uses consistent with the General Plan Amendment.

3. The proposed changes will result in compatible land uses and will not negatively impact surrounding properties.

4. The proposed amendments to General Plan and zoning designations will not result in significant adverse environmental impacts.
