Zone Change No. 87-16 is a request by the Huntington Beach Company to rezone 55.5 gross acres generally located at the northwest corner of Edwards Street and Garfield Avenue which are presently designated with three different zoning classifications. The request is to change the zoning as follows: 1. Approximately 43 acres from RA-01 (Residential Agricultural combined with Oil Production) to R1-(2)-01-10,000 (Low Density Residential-2 units per acre -with a minimum 10,000 square foot lot size -combined with Oil Production); 2. Approximately .5 acres from RA-0-CZ (Residential Agricultural combined with Oil Production in the Coastal Zone) to R1-(2)-0-10,000-CZ (Low Density Residential-2 units per acre with a minimum 10,000 square foot lot size -combined with Oil Production in the Coastal Zone); and 3. Approximately 12 acres from RA--01-CZ (Residential Agricultural combined with Oil Production and Drilling in the Coastal Zone) to Rl-(2)-01-10,000-CZ (Low Density Residential-2 units per acre -with a minimum 10,000 square foot size lot -combined with Oil Production and Drilling in the Coastal Zone). The applicant is appealing the Planning Commission's denial based on the following reasons: I. Huntington Beach Company disagrees with staff's analysis and findings for denial. 2. The requested zoning is clearly consistent with the General Plan and com- patible with other land uses and development in the area. 3. Adequate environmental documentation exists to assess the impacts of the existing land use designation and proposed zoning. The applicant has agreed to a condition requiring supplemental environmental assessment prior to any development entitlement. 4. Approval of the requested zoning will not establish a boundary for the proposed linear park. In response to the Planning Commission's denial, the applicant has requested the addition of the "Q" suffix to the zoning to conditionally require environ- mental analysis prior to the approval of any development entitlement on the property. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: Negative Declaration No. 87-49 has been processed in accordance with the requirements of CEQA, 1986 and will also be considered by Council. COASTAL -STATUS: Pursuant to Section 989.5.0 a coastal development permit is not necessary with this application on parcels located in the coastal zone. �4 �i Page 14 - Agency/Council Minutes - 12/4/89 A motion was made by Mays, seconded by MacAllister, to continue the appeal to Planning Commission Denial of Zone Change No. 87-16/Negative Declaration No. 87-49 to January 8, 1990.
