ANALYSIS: The proposed acquisition of a portion of the Lamb Elementary School site for park purpose is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The City of Huntington Beach's General Plan has a policy that encourages surplus school sites to be made available first for public purposes. On April 4, 2005, the City Council held a study session relative to the closed school sites. Upon further discussions between the City and the Fountain Valley School District, Council recommended pursuing the acquisition of a 2.6-acre portion of the Lamb School site. Acquisition of the property will provide continuous recreational use for AYSO Group 117 and the general public. The remaining 11.65 acres of the Lamb School site is anticipated to be sold and developed for private purposes. At that time, the approval of a general plan amendment and zoning map amendment will be required and evaluated for land use compatibility. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve General Plan Conformance No. 05-06 because the acquisition of a portion of the Lamb School site is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.

Desi n Review Board: Not applicable. Subdivision Committee : Not applicable. Other De artments Concerns: There are no department concerns with respect to the General Plan Conformance. PC Staff Report - 4/12/05 -5- (05sr07 GPC 05-01) ANALYSIS: Section 65402 of the Government Code states in part that it shall be reported upon by the local planning agency (Planning Commission) that the proposed disposal of property interest is in conformity with the adopted General Plan. The Planning Commission's sole responsibility in the review of the proposal is to determine conformance with the adopted General Plan. The proposed disposition of the Lamb Elementary School site is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The City of Huntington Beach's General Plan has a policy that encourages surplus school sites to be made available first for public purposes. Concurrent with the District's request for a general plan conformance, the District notified the City of its option to acquire the subject property. On April 4, 2005, the City Council held a study session relative to the closed school sites overall, and the City is evaluating the District's notice. Therefore, the District's disposition of the site conforms to the policies of the General Plan. In addition, as noted in the General Plan Conformance section of this report, City staff is completing Implementation Program I-LU 26 and is evaluating alternatives for the sport organization that is allocated to play there. It is often the case with General Plan Conformances that the future use of the site is known and the City's analysis of the disposition extends to include the future use. However, at this time, there is no proposed future use for the subject site. If the District, or subsequent owner, proposes to change the land use designation to accommodate a future use, a general plan amendment would be required. At that time, the proposed use would be evaluated for land use compatibility. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve General Plan Conformance No. 05-01 because the disposal of the Lamb School site is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.
