(CITY COUNCIL) STUDY SESSION - CITYWIDE URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES
The City Council considered a communication from the Community Development Director
regarding the retention of the firm of Urban Design Studio, a division of Robert Bein, William
Frost and Associates to prepare Urban Design Guidelines to set forth the city's design criteria
which will provide clear direction to the development community about how to achieve high
quality, aesthetically pleasing, and functional design solutions which will positively contribute to
the city's urban form and character and provide specific criteria for use by regulatory bodies in
their review of development proposals. It is anticipated that implementation of Design
Guidelines on a citywide basis would improve the city's visual image and strengthen community
identity.
Community Development Director Fallon presented a staff report. Planning Director Zelefsky
presented the highlights of the proposal submitted by Urban Design Studio, a division of Robert
Bein, William Frost and Associates, including the areas of the city which the firm has
designated as districts.
Discussion was held between Council and Planning Director Zelefsky regarding the purpose of
and the need for city-wide urban design guidelines and concern that there are city rules and
regulations that are not needed. Planning Director Zelefsky reported on proposed design of
entry nodes to the city and incentive for developers to provide art in public places. The
Planning Commissioners presented comments which included the role of Huntington Center in
the process; and the importance of public art not being defined as putting a statue in the middle
of a plaza. Economic Development Director Biggs and Councilmember Garofalo discussed the
need for all the consultants to be coordinated so not to create redundancy.
Councilmember Bauer stated reasons why he did not believe Robert Bein, William Frost and
Associates should have restrictions placed on them before they begin.
Planning Commissioner Chapman questioned if the consultant will review projects which are
currently in process. Councilmember Julien questioned whether the consultant will comment on
the Seacliff Art Work.
Planning Director Zelefsky responded that Huntington Center Mall representatives have
expressed an interest in some of the art.
Councilmember Julien stated that she believed all of the artwork, not just the artwork in which
Huntington Center has interest, should be studied by the consultant.
Mayor Dettloff reported that this consultant's review of the artwork could be in addition to the
person who is currently reviewing the artwork.

STREAMLINING CHANGES TO THE CITY'S ZONING AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE

Development Department's recommendation and why he believes it will help the city be more
business friendly.

have succeeded in streamlining efforts. Community Development Director Fallon stated that her
department would do so.
Economic Development Director Biggs reported on the reasons the Sedway Group has been
recommended.
Planning Commissioner Fred Speaker presented an example from the last Planning
Commission meeting where due to the fact that a proposed ordinance was reviewed closely by
the Planning Commission it was able to be corrected prior to transmittal to the City Council. He
stated that the process must be streamlined but that safeguards such as Planning Commission
review is needed.
Planning Commissioner Livengood presented the example of the gas station and mini -mart that
had been proposed to be located at Pacific Coast Highway and Goldenwest Street on which
Council, staff and the Planning Commission had worked hard to reach the goal of a residential
development being placed there instead. He spoke regarding the importance of working
together as the Planning Commission, Council and Staff.
Councilmember Garofalo spoke regarding his belief that the goal is to establish that the city is
desirous of attracting businesses and to work the details out later.

appreciated.

the Fire Department salary negotiations and requested that Council bring prompt closure to the
issue. He presented reasons why he believes the lawsuit filed by the City against PERS should
be dropped and that they review the PERS rollover provision and rectify the situation.
ANDY ARLEDGE, firefighter, stated that he did not believe the current problem is about salary
of the firefighters; that it is because the Council does not value its employees. He cited
examples of the way employees have been depicted relative to rollover. He spoke regarding the
offer presented to the employees that takes away retirement benefits of firefighters who do not
live long after retirement.

each City Councilmember does for the city. He spoke regarding the reasons firefighters become
firefighters and stated that fire fighting is the most dangerous of occupations. He presented
statistics regarding sales tax of other cities and the salary that firefighters in those cities
receive. He informed Council that Huntington Beach Firefighters receive less salary.
LEE CALDWELL, firefighter, spoke regarding emergencies in his neighborhood in another city,
including one where he had to put out a fire and due to delay in that fire department's response
he had wished he'd had Huntington Beach Firefighters with him. He spoke regarding the need
to reach a solution.
RON STOCKING presented reasons why he came to work for the city. He stated that the
conditions which brought him to the City of Huntington Beach no longer exist. Mr. Stocking
presented a parable to Council to convey his message regarding the status of negotiations.
GEORGE MUNSEY thanked Councilmember Garofalo for his efforts to bring the negotiation
issue to the public's attention. He stated that he believes there is a communication breakdown,
citing issues such as the PERS lawsuit. Mr. Munsey referred to a letter from the law firm that
the City has hired to negotiate with the firefighters. He questioned how the firefighters can sit in
negotiations in good faith with this law firm which the city has hired to take away their benefits.
MICHAEL PERRY, firefighter, informed Council that he still has faith the firefighters and City
Council will come to agreement. He referred to the item placed on the agenda by
Councilmember Sullivan regarding formation of a City Council Ad Hoc Subcommittee relative to
an employee benefit comparison study. Mr. Perry stated a study had been done in the Fire
Department which ranked Huntington Beach 12 out of 13 cities. He spoke regarding rebates to
the City from PERS and reasons why the City's PERS rate is higher than that of Santa Ana. He
stated that the rollover has been funded on the safety employees' backs, as the city took the
PERS rebates.
BRIAN KNOTT read a letter he sent to the Mayor and City Council regarding his
disappointment with what the City has offered for a salary increase for the firefighters, and the
issue of the PERS benefit. He stated he hoped the Council has seen the letter from former Fire
Chief Picard which tells the truth. He stated that the firefighters will always be there for the
citizens and he hopes the citizens will be there for the firefighters.
JOHN CONNER, retired firefighter, stated he believed the statements by Councilmember
Harman relative to two PERS cases in other cities do not back the city's attempt to renege on
its legally negotiated benefits with the city employees. He spoke regarding the judge's
comments regarding those two cases as they relate to the city's litigation. He urged the Council
to contact the city's consultant Peter Brown.
DAVID MCBRIDE, Fire Captain, stated his concern and disappointment with the City Council in
the management of their most valuable resource - the city employees. He informed Council of
the low morale of the employees, stating that some employees are seeking outside
employment. Mr. McBride stated that cities such as Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley and Newport
Beach are attracting the most qualified city employees.

In response to Mayor Pro Tern Green, Mr. Godard spoke regarding Mr. Silber's statement relative
to the ongoing efforts between his company and Mr. and Mrs. Lee. He also responded to Mayor
Pro Tern Green's question regarding their position on separating the issue of changing the
industrial to mixed use, to look at it more thoroughly as he believes this change is premature as the
rest of the industrial area has not been planned.
Mr. Yoder and Mr. Godard responded to Councilmember Garofalo's questions regarding various
aspects of the project. Mr. Metzler spoke regarding the need to maximize the units on the eight
acres if the zone change on the four acres of industrial is not approved.
REVEREND PEGGY PRICE, Pastor, Church of Religious Science, stated that she understood the
plans for the shopping center. She spoke regarding the projects of the church including providing
gifts at holidays, visits to nursing homes and the interfaith family shelter. She questioned why there
are no plans for spiritual communities in the city and stated that there should be some place for
their church to relocate.
713
06/15/98 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 15
DONALD WILLIAMS stated that he believes the church is an economic draw to the City of
Huntington Beach as there are 1500 congregants. He stated that perhaps the City could assist with
finding another location.
DALE DICKEY requested that the plan not be passed until the situations of Mr. and Mrs. Lee and
other tenants are resolved.
FRANK PAPPANO stated that he did not believe the Shea Company had community vision. He
requested that the Shea Company negotiate with the tenants.

requested Council assistance be given to the church to find a place for the relocation.

residential for reasons including that the homeowners in the beautiful Seacliff Homes do not want
to reside by commercial property.
MARIA XANTHAKIS, Pero's Restaurant, stated that her lease ends in the year 2004. She stated
that a settlement has not been reached between Pero's and the Shea Company. She requested

and Mrs. Lee and any of the tenants who want to come into the new center.
Discussion held between Councilmember Bauer and Community Development Director Fallon
regarding the subject of mandatory processing time.

recommended action of one drive through per street frontage; the bus turnouts, Patti's pre-school;
and for Stewart Street to be allowed to go through. He spoke regarding his opinion that the
development proposed may not be the development that Council gets. He stated that perhaps
Council needs to step back and look at the entire project. He spoke on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Lee,
owners of Jose McCoys.
JERRI HESPRICH thanked Shea Company and staff for their mitigation measures. She presented
recommendations regarding the types of trees she believes should be planted.

Page 16 - Council/Agency Minutes - 06/15/98
KAREN JACKLE stated that she looks forward to shopping in the new center. She requested that
Council not diminish the Seacliff quality of life by not addressing the floor area ratio for the senior
assisted housing as a condition of approval at no more than .50, and do not reduce the required
parking by 9% for the shopping center. She requested that a pedestrian tie-in for the senior facility
component, now, to assure safety and aesthetics, consider the impact of the circulation in the
shopping center when there are temporary events requiring more parking; do not address parking
and circulation on a piece -meal basis.
GORDON SMITH, Seacliff homeowner, spoke regarding the letter the Seacliff Homeowner's
Association sent to the Design Review Board which presented comments and recommendations on
the proposed Urban Agrarian Style. He stated there has been no negative declaration for loss of
artistic and educational artwork which points out a failure of the California Environmental Quality
Act process. He requested that Council look at what Huntington Beach is losing and to reflect on
how this loss might have been prevented.
JAMES LARKIN stated that he supports the zone change on the four acres of land.
ALAN DECARR requested that prior to action, the Council assist the tenants in their efforts relative
