COMPLIANCE FOR TENTATIVE TRACT NOS 14659 14661 and 14662
APPLICANT: City of Huntington Beach
LOCATION: Holly-Seacliff Area
Final Environmental Impact Report No. 89-1 in conjunction with the
Holly Seacliff Master Plan was certified by the City Council on
January 8, 1990. It encompassed 768 acres for development of up to
4,410 residential units and 11 acres of commercial. Seacliff
Partners have submitted Tentative Tract Nos. 14659, 14661 and 14662
for development of 700 residential units within the Holly-Seacliff
area which are subject to compliance with the Final Environmental
Impact Report.
Final Environmental Impact Report No. 89-1 covers the environmental
impacts associated with the three tracts. All of the mitigation
measures have been addressed in order to comply with recent
California Environmental Quality Act regulations. Staff has focused
on the three (3) major mitigation measures that must be complied
with prior to approval of the three tracts.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission accept the
current mitigation compliance matrix for Final Environmental Impact
Report No. 89-1 for the development of Tentative Tract Nos. 14659,
14661 and .14662.
The Commission discussed the replacement of the existing windrow,
the effects of removing it, and also the Homeowner's Association
experience in managing restored wetlands. Staff explained that the
option to save the current windrow had been explored. They had
examined an option to design around, but further justified the
removal. Staff also explained that the Homeowner's Association did
have experience managing restored wetlands, and it would also be
monitored by the Fish and Game Department.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Tom Zanic, applicant, stated that they as the applicant had complied
