Comments were made on the need to not micromanage the Planning Commission or be in a

information from the Acting Public Works Director regarding whether there is anything wrong
with Shea Company's action. He stated reasons why he did not believe the City Council should
approve the proposed contract with EDAW, Inc.
David Guido spoke regarding articles in local papers regarding the status of the oil tank farm at
Newland Street and Hamilton Avenue relative to the plans by Pat Robertson to reactivate these
tanks for the same use prior to their shut down in 1995. He stated that apparently this new
company would sublease these tanks from Goldenwest Oil which holds the primary lease with
the landowner. He spoke regarding the reason this news has caused dismay to local residents,
including what is the condition of the soil, the groundwater and air around this facility especially
during the tanks removal of the insulation and during this interim period; is there asbestos or
any other hazardous material on site. He questioned why during the winter storms the
neighborhood storm drains were pushed to the brink several times during the huge amount of
water coming from this facility to the streets.
Virginia Sims addressed Council on behalf of a salary increase for the firefighters.
Dean Albright spoke regarding a sewer line that he had seen pumping thousands of gallons
per day of raw sewage into a big hole in the ground where a sewer line used to be.
749
Page 6 — Council/Agency Minutes — 07/06/98
Paul Lepore, firefighter, spoke regarding firefighters leaving the employ of the City of
Huntington Beach. He stated that Huntington Beach can no longer attract and retain the quality
of firefighters and paramedics as in the past. He inquired as to the plan for Goldenwest Oil
regarding the closing of this facility, the long-term plan for this area, and what is the city's
involvement in this cleanup. The Mayor updated Mr. Guido and stated if he cannot stay for the
agenda item that he contact her tomorrow.
David Datko spoke regarding the removal by the Public Works Department of a tree on his
street. He stated that there had not been a problem with the tree removal, however the Public
Works Department had not cleaned the area afterwards and dust and debris went into his
house; that he had had to clean up and that he had encountered a problem regarding this
matter with the crew chief.
Tom Logan, Bolsa Chica Land Trust Member, addressed Council regarding the item on the
agenda relative to the Orange County Water District — Conflict of Interest — Impact and
Annexations. He presented statistics to Council showing that underground aquifir is less
expensive. He urged Council not to take any position in this matter that would raise taxes to the
consumer.
Mark Nelson, firefighter, spoke regarding the living costs that have increased while the salaries
of the firefighters have not. He stated that unless there is some kind of reasonable offer the
morale and the strength of the firefighters will not and cannot come back.
Brett Morehead stated his concern for the present conditions of the Huntington Beach Fire
Department. He read a letter listing his concerns which included that the Fire Department has
become one of the worst fire departments to work for. He spoke regarding the retirement issue
and the effect on the retirees.
Mike McKay displayed a slide titled Retirement— What Six Years of Stagnant Pay Will Do. He
reviewed the chart which showed how the compensation of a firefighter retiring at this time has
fallen far short of a firefighter who retired six years ago.
Mayor Dettloff stated there is a mediator respected by both sides who is now working with the
City Council and firefighters.

coastal cities are much better represented on the American Coastal Coalition than are cities on
the West Coast. He stated that he had come across one good source of funding that he has
given to City Engineer Eichblatt. Councilmember Green informed the Council and audience that
he had shown a video made by the Public Information Office which had been very well
received. He stated that he believed a California Coastal Commission should be started.

Applicant: PLC Land Company
Request: To amend the General Plan, Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan and Local Coastal Program
to: 1) expand the existing commercial designation in Montecito from seven to 11 gross acres
and 2) change the Medium High Density (25 units per acre), Medium Density (15 units per
acre) and Low Density (seven units per acre) residential areas in Greenbriar and Montecito to
Low Density (five units per acre).
Location: South side of Garfield Avenue between Peninsula Lane and Goldenwest Street,
north of Summit Drive.
Environmental Assessment: An initial environmental assessment (Negative Declaration No.
97-22) was processed and completed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality
Act. It was determined that the above item, with mitigation, would not have any significant
environmental effect and that a mitigated negative declaration is warranted. This environmental
assessment is on file at the city's Community Development Department and is available for
public inspection and comment by contacting the Community Development Department.
Earlier in the meeting, the City Clerk announced the following late communications:
Slide report from the Community Development Director regarding General Plan Amendment
No. 97-2/ Zoning Text Amendment 97-5/ Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 97-1/
Negative Declaration No. 97-22 (Greenbriar/Montecito)

corrected Resolution No. 98-54 relative to the public hearing on the Greenbriar/Montecito
Projects
752
07/06/98 — Council/Agency Minutes — Page 9
Legal notice as provided by the Community Development Department to the City Clerk's Office had
been mailed, published and posted.
Mayor Dettloff declared the public hearing open.
Bill Holman representing the applicant, addressed Council in support of the project
Colleen Wilson, resident of the Hampton Community, stated that the views of the residents
remain the same as expressed during the Planning Commission meeting and informational
meetings. She informed Council that they supported the lower density however their concern is
the wiseness of putting a commercial site adjacent to residences and backyards stating that it
will be a very large center with night deliveries, noise, pollution and their homes only having five
foot walls. Ms. Wilson informed Council that the residents had expected only smaller type shops
or a specialty market.
Carole Ann Wall, President of Friends and Neighbors of Seacliff, and member of the City
Infrastructure Committee, spoke in favor of a shopping center in the project for reasons
including wide streets and the proposed shopping center
John Roe, Executive Board Member of Huntington Seacliff Homeowners Association, stated
that Council has received a letter in their packet detailing the Board's position on the project
and this position is also reflected in the staff report. He reviewed their position. He stated that
he believed the true preference of the residents, if polled, would be no commercial and all Low
Density, Single Family residential units. He stated that basically the Association residents
overwhelmingly support Alternative No. 2 with some conditions on the Paseo pedestrian
walkway even though it probably will not come before Council unless appealed. He stated their
concern was primarily of children's safety and the concern that a predator alley is being
created. He stated conditions they would like to see on the pedestrian walkway including
widening it from 40 feet to 50 or 60 feet to open it up, reduce the canyoning effect and hopefully
make it more part of the associated neighborhood park, full-time vehicular access on the
Garfield end of what would be Saddleback to the Montecito area and the entrance moved
closer to the Paseo beginning so there would be more visibility safety and alleviate traffic
concerns. He stated that they supported Alternative No. 2 with conditions.
Mark Billes spoke in opposition to the proposed shopping center due to the delivery trucks and
lights from the center. He stated that there will be a need to raise the wall which perhaps PLC
Land Company could help.
David Basok stated that residents were told there would not be a large supermarket in the
center. He stated that one is not needed. Mr. Basok requested that Council not approve the 11
acre commercial site.
Karen Jackie stated she has worked with the homeowners association to communicate with
the city and developer. She spoke regarding the traffic going faster than 45 m.p.h. for the mile
on Summit, which is a curving street between Peninsula and Goldenwest because there is
nothing to slow it down, that traffic is increasing and it is getting more dangerous to go in and
out of upper Seacliff at Beacon Hill. She stated that a stop sign at Saddleback would solve this
753
Page 10 — Council/Agency Minutes — 07/06/98
problem as more homes are built off Edwards and Garfield as well as Montecito and Greenbriar
as people like to go south on Edwards, turn left on Peninsula and then continue on to
Goldenwest, so there is increasing traffic. She requested that Council approve the installation of
a stop sign whether there is a through street or a pedestrian only paseo at Saddleback. Ms.
Jackle spoke regarding other conditions including permitted hours of construction which she
would like to see established. She requested that higher walls be conditioned by Council. She
requested that the walls go with the lot and not be owned by the City as this would save the city
future maintenance costs, and 8 foot walls on Garfield and Goldenwest would lessen costs as
the footings would be larger; also that Council may wish to consider a wall on Saddleback.
There being no one to speak further on the matter and there being no further protests filed,
either oral or written, the hearing was closed by Mayor Dettloff.
A motion was made by Garofalo, second Green, to approve the following recommended action
as amended:
Uphold the Planning Commission's action and approve Negative Declaration No. 97-22
with findings and mitigation measures as follows:
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL FOR NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 97-22:
The Negative Declaration No. 97-22 has been prepared in compliance with Article 6
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. It was advertised
and available for a public comment period of twenty (20) days. Comments received
during the comment period were considered by the Planning Commission prior to
action on the Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment No. 97-2, Zoning Text
Amendment No. 97-5, Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 97-1, Tentative
Parcel Map No.. 97-199 and Affordable Housing Plan Amendment No. 1.
2. Mitigation measures, incorporated into the attached conditions of approval, avoid or
reduce the project's effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the
environment will occur. Mitigation measures address a number of potential impacts,
including: construction noise, aesthetics, air quality, transportation, lighting,
hazardous materials and public services and facilities when ultimate construction will
occur.
3. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Planning
Commission that the project, as mitigated through the conditions of approval for
Tentative Parcel Map No. 97-199 will have a significant effect on the environment.
And,
2. Approve General Plan Amendment No. 97-2 by adopting Resolution No. 98-54, as
amended - "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach, California,
Approving General Plan Amendment No. 97-2 and Negative Declaration No. 97-22" to
correct the location on Page No. 1 of the Resolution to read South of Garfield Avenue,
north of Summit Drive.
And
754
07/06/98 — Council/Agency Minutes — Page 11
3. Approve Zoning Text Amendment No. 97-5 with findings by approving introduction of
Ordinance No. 3402 - "An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Amending the
Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance by Amending the Holly-Seacliff
Specific Plan (Zoning Text Amendment No. 97-5)" after reading by the title by the City
Clerk.
FINDINGS FOR ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 97-5:
Zoning Text Amendment No. 97-5 to modify the land use designations and amount
of allowed development in Planning Area III of the Holly Seacliff Specific Plan is
consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in
the General Plan. The proposed changes are consistent with General Plan
Amendment No. 97-2 which is being processed concurrently. The changes do not
result in greater traffic impacts than were assumed in the Environmental Impact
Report No. 89-1 for Holly Seacliff certified in 1990 and subsequent amendment. The
changes will implement General Policies.
2. In the case of a general land use provision, the zoning text amendment is
compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, the zoning
district for which it is proposed. The changes would not add any new land uses to
the area and are compatible with uses in the vicinity.
3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed. The changes would
reduce the number of residential units allowed on the subject property which would
reduce demand on community facilities. The expanded commercial area would
result in greater sales tax revenue to the city which may be used for infrastructure
improvements and community services.
4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good
zoning practice. The zoning text amendment will not introduce any new land uses to
the area. It will ensure the continued provision of increased living opportunities fore
residents close to services.
4. Approve Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 97-1 by adopting Resolution No. 98-55
- "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Adopting Local
Coastal Program Amendment 97-1 (Zone Text Amendment No. 97-5) and Requesting
Its Certification by the California Coastal Commission") with findings.
Further as amended to request the Planning Commission to include in their considerations (1)
heightened perimeter wall; (2) construction hours; (3) circulation plan particularly on
Saddleback including consideration of stop sign request; (4) landscape issues to mitigate
impacts on the neighborhood.
The motion carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Julien, Harman, Green, Dettloff, Bauer, Sullivan, Garofalo
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
