INTRODUCTION APPROVE
The Mayor announced that this was the day and hour set for a public hearing
continued open from September 19, 1988 to consider Zone Change 87-14 in con—
junction with Negative Declaration 87-41 which assesses the environmental
impact, which is a request from Ascon Properties, Inc., for a change of zone
from Limited Use District Combined with Oil Production — Coastal Zone — Flood
Plain to Qualified Limited Use District Combined with Oil Production and
Drilling — Coastal Zone — Flood Plain, to allow for new oil facilities and oil
drilling activities pursuant to a conditional use permit. The subject pro—
perty is a .868 acre portion of an overall 38 acre site, located at the
southwest corner of Magnolia Street and Hamilton Avenue — 21621 Magnolia
Street.
The City Clerk presented Ordinance No. 2968 — "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF

cation and posting had been met, and that she had received no communications

present condition of the site in terms of clean up possibilities.

site has contained hazardous waste material. Her concern is. when there is
activity on the site before full information backed up by documentation is
Page 9 - Council/Agency Minutes - 10/3/88
obtained, any activity possesses the possibility of a threat to the
community. She suggested that the current owner acquire liability hazard
insurance on the site for the protection of residents in the area.
Tom Arge addressed Council opposing this item. He presented a petition with
approximately 34 signatures representing this view.
Henry 84 rman stated he was not against the oil drilling but wants the area
cleaned up. He suggested that a portion of the profits from the oil wells be
set aside to clean up the entire site.
Richard Harlow, representing Ascon, requested the insurance requirement be
added at the time the Conditional Use Permit is considered.
John Lindsey, Vice -President of Ascon, stated the company planned on beginning
with three oil wells on a maximum of five acres. He stated he believed the
site could only accommodate six or seven wells.
There being no one present to speak further on the matter and . there being no
further protests filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the
Mayor.
Extensive discussion was held between Council, staff, and Mr. Lindsey regard-
ing the establishment of a trust fund from the Ascon Property's portion of oil
generated revenues for future clean up of the site subject to City Council
review and approval. Discussion was held regarding the possibility of
requiring liability insurance.

Ordinance No. 2968, after reading by title, to approve Negative Declaration
No. 87-41, approve Zone Change No. 87-14 with Qualifications C Q'), with the
following findings and conditions, as amended:
Findings for Approvals:
I. The proposed zone change will not be detrimental to the general welfare of
persons residing or working in the vicinity nor to property and improve-
ments in the vicinity, because the "Q" will require site characterization
and additional public hearings prior to issuance of grading, oil drilling,
or building permits.

of the City of Huntington Beach
3. The proposal is consistent with the goals and objectives of the City's

the immediately surrounding area, which is industrial. Additionally, the
proposed oil drilling area is located at least 1,300 feet from the nearest.
residences, and is not visible from public rights -of -way due to existing
berms and distance from streets.
78
Page 10 - Council/Agency Minutes - 10/3/88
