PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS B-1 ADDENDUM TO FINAL EIR NO. 89-1/GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO 91-2 (CONTINUED FROM THE OCTOBER 8, 1991 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING)• APPLICANT: Pacific Coast Homes/City of Huntington Beach LOCATION: The Holly-Seacliff Masterplan Area Pacific Coast Homes has submitted General Plan Amendment No. 91-2 in order to shift seven (7) acres of commercial from the southeast intersection of Garfield Avenue and Edwards Street to the southwest intersection of Garfield Avenue and Goldenwest Street. Also, the applicant is requesting to shift residential densities near the intersection of Garfield Avenue and Main Street which will result in no additional units. The third request is to permit oil production/oil consolidation in the two (2) industrial land use areas. The requested amendments to the Holly-Seacliff Master Plan require the processing of a general plan amendment to the City's Land Use Element. In order to process the amendment, staff has prepared an addendum to the original environmental impact report. Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act states "The lead agency shall prepare an addendum to an environmental impact report if only minor technical changes or alterations are necessary to make the environmental impact report under consideration adequate under the California Environmental Quality Act and no new significant effects on the environment are raised." STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission: A. Accept as adequate the Addendum to Final Environmental Impact Report No. 89-1 by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 1450 and forward to the City Council; and B. Approve General Plan Amendment No. 91-2 by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 1451 and forward to the City council for adoption. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Tom Zanic, Urban West Development, spoke in support of the request. Mr. Zanic explained to the Commission the proposals that were submitted to the school district but were rejected.

Carrie Thomas, 6642 Trotter Drive, read petition in opposition into the record from the Homeowner's Association. Tom Greer, 18831 Crystal Street, spoke in opposition to the proposed median on Ernest Street and Garfield. Mr. Greer stated it would be restrictive and create blind spots for trucks. He also said expansion of businesses in the future might be hindered and emergency vehicles may have trouble getting through. PC Minutes - 10/29/91 -2- (2443d) Bob Mandic, 1112 Main Street, felt that the proposed median would be contradictive to the mitigation measures. He asked the Commission to put language into the Specific Plan that would disallow a median being constructed from Ernest to Garfield. Duane Dishno, 20451 Craimer Lane, School District Superinendent, stated that they still had not reached any agreements with Pacific Coast Homes. Mr. Dishno asked the Commission to deny the request because he felt it did not comply with CEQA or environmental issues.

Commission Kirkland stated that that he was offended at having received a 50 page document that evening at 5:00 PM and expected to review it. Marshall M. Krupp, 1717 S.
