The proposed Implementation Plan Amendment would change the zoning at three
locations in the Huntington Beach coastal zone. Two of the zone changes would
be from residential to recreational open space. The third change would be
from medium density residential to low density residential. The three sites
are located inland of Pacific Coast High, just north of Palm Avenue between
Seapoint Street and Goldenwest Street (See Exhibit A). The site of zone
change one is currently vacant. The existing use at the site of zone change
number two is the Seacliff Country Club tennis courts. And the site of zone
change number three is currently a part of the Seacliff Country Club golf
course.
The proposed changes will be in conformanance with or will bring the zoning
into conformance with the existing land use designations and :!its the current
uses at the site.

B. Adequac of Amendment to Carr Out LtIP Policies
Sections 30513 and 30514 of the Coastal Act require that any amendments to a
certified implementation Plan be cdnsistent with and adequate to carry out the
certified Land Use Plan.
Zone change number one, a 1.76 acre parcel located near the intersection
Cherry Hill Lane and Palm ftenue, will change the zoning from R2-PO-01-CZ
(Medium Density Residential-Planned Development-Oil Production-Coastal Zone)
to Rl-01-CZ (Low Density Residential-Oil Production-Coastal Zone). Currently
the site is vacant. The land use designation at the site is Low Density
Residential. The proposed zone change will bring the zoning at the site into
conformance with the certified Land Use Plan designation.
Zone change number two, a 1.64 acre parcel located along Palm Avenue just east
of zone change number one, will result in a, zone change from R2-PD-O-CZ
(Medium Density Residential-Planned Development-Oil Production-Coastal Zone)
to ROS-O-CZ (Recreational Open Space-Oil Production-Coastal Zone). Currently
the subject site is developed with the Seacliff Country Club tennis courts.
The land use designation at the site is Residential Low Density. The
Residential Low Density designation allows "private recreation areas." The
proposed zone change is consistent with the certified Land Uce Plan
designation for the site.
Zone change number three, a 1.96 acre site located within the Seacliff Country
Club golf Course, will change the zoning from R4-01-CZ (Residential High
Density-Oil Production-Coastal lone) to ROS-01-CZ (Recreational Open Space-Oil
ProducLion-Coastal lone). The land use designation at the subject site is
Recreation Open Space. The proposed change will bring the. zoning at the site
into conformity with the City's certified Land Use Plan land use designation.
Two of the three proposed zone changes will bring the Implementation Plan into
conformance with the certified Land Use Plan. The third proposed zone change
is an allowable use under the certified Land Use Plan land use designation.
Additionally, two of the changes will result in a higher priority use under
the Coastal Act: from residential to recreational. Therefore, the Commission
finds the proposed Implementation Plan amendment consistent with and adequate
to carry out the policies and goals of the certified Land Use Plan.
showing the request to be consistent with any applicable requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
C. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Section 13096(a) of the Commission's administrative regulations requires
Commission approval of LCP amendment requests to be supported by a finding
Section 21080.5(d)(2)(i) of CEQA prohibits a proposed development from being
approved if there are feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures
available which would substantially lessen any significant adverse impact
which the activity may have on the environment.
.-,. Huntington Beach LCP Amendmerefl 2-92
Page 4
As submitted, the proposed amendment is consistent with the Chapter 3 policies
of the Coastal Act. The proposed increase of land zoned recreational open
space will promote increased recreational opportunities. The proposed
decrease in intensity from medium density residential to low density
residential will lessen demands on coastal access and recreation support
systems such as parking and traffic. Anticipated environmental impacts
resulting from the project have been determined to be insignificant.
Therefore, the Commission finds that the project is the least environmentally
damaging feasible alternative, and can be found consistent with the
requirements of the Coastal Act and with conformance to CEQA.
