PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS B-la ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO.97-4/ ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO.97 - VNEGATIVE DECLARATION NO.97-21 (CONTINUED FROM THE JULY 14, AND AUGUST 25,1998 MEETING) (Revised Meadowlark Specific Plan : APPLICANT: City of Huntington Beach and Bruce D'Eliscu LOCATION: Six hundred (600) feet north and east of the intersection of Bolsa Chica Street and Warner Avenue, south of Heil Avenue) PROJECT PLANNER: Amy Wolfe Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 97-4 and Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA) No. 97-1 represent requests to modify the Meadowlark Specific Plan. The zoning text amendment is intended to update the Meadowlark Specific Plan to allow the development of single family detached residences on small lots (minimum sizes ranging between 3,000 sq. ft. to 4,600 sq. ft.) as well as establish and incorporate development standards for such development within the revised Specific Plan. Moreover, the proposed text amendment will reduce the maximum allowable residential development density from six hundred (600) to four hundred forty-four (444) dwelling units. Finally, the zoning map amendment will address revisions of the Conceptual Master Plan — Exhibit II to reflect the proposed reductions of residential densities within the project area. The revised Meadowlark Specific Plan is consistent with goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan and will supercede the current Specific Plan document. On June 16, and July 14, 1998 the Planning Commission took straw votes on "key issues" relating to the Meadowlark Specific Plan text and map amendment and the development proposal for the residential portion of the Meadowlark site in order to provide Catellus Residential Group (CRG), the project applicant for the residential portion of the Specific Plan area, with adequate direction to finalize the tract map and site plans of the subject residential development. A key issues matrix was provided in conjunction with the August 25, 1998, Planning Commission staff report which summarized issues, staff and applicant positions and Planning Commission straw votes to that date. Staff has revised the July 14, 1998 draft Specific Plan to reflect the Planning Commission's direction (straw vote action) and few minor editing modifications to the document. Please note that the Specific Plan which is being forwarded to you includes the same text which was previously provided on September 9, 1998, and new exhibits/appendices only. On September 9, 1998, John P. Erskine, representing CRG, submitted a letter requesting additional revisions to the Draft Meadowlark Specific Plan. Commissioner Biddle has responded to the CGR letter which has been included. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed ZTA and ZMA for the following reasons: • The proposed project will not have any significant environmental impacts. With standard conditions of approval and mitigation measures all concerns are mitigated to a level of insignificance. • The proposed zoning text and zoning map amendment are consistent with the existing General Plan designation of Mixed -Use Specific Plan Overlay (M-sp), with surrounding zoning, and the existing and proposed development in the surrounding area. • The proposed project is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan. The proposed revisions to the Meadowlark Specific Plan will foster development of housing that addresses the City's diverse economic, physical, affordable housing and social needs of existing and future residents of Huntington Beach. • The proposed reduction and distribution of densities within the Meadowlark Specific Plan area is suitable and properly adapts to the terrain of the project site and surrounding land uses. PC Minutes — 9/22/98 2 (98PCM922) 1 • The proposed regulations for compact lot, single family detached residential development advocate high level of design quality and character and will not be detrimental to the general health, welfare and safety, value of property, improvements, the neighborhood or the City in General. • The compact lot, single family detached design concept will provide a viable alternative to attached housing, allowing for fee -simple ownership of single family detached homes at more affordable prices. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Dick Harlow, 211 Main Street, representing applicant, stated that he wished to clarify issues and straw votes from the previous Planning Commission meeting. He referred the letter submitted September 9, 1998 from John P. Erskine. The Commission discussed with Mr. Harlow the request for tandem parking to meet code requirements. The Commission was concerned about The size of the cars, the visual aesthetics and which planning areas this would affect. Fred Schmidt, 16851 Stonehaven Circle, stated that he wished the Planning Commission to consider his previous request to locate Lots 224-228 to the interior of the site and amend the ten (10) foot landscape requirement to eight (8) foot minimum in the parkway area. Gregg Neff, 5421 Meadow Circle, stated that he had been notified that changed plans at Stonehaven and Meadow Circle would negatively impact his backyard and asked the Commission to consider this. Jerry Rich, 5452 Meadow Circle, stated concern that the size of the lots, the garages and driveways are too small. He stated that this was an opportunity to develop decent size lots instead of creating an affect like the downtown area. Mr. Rich also stated that more consideration should be given to the existing homes and residents. Sally Graham, 5161 Gelding Circle, stated that there should be a moratorium on building on small lots until the Small Lot Ordinance has been adopted. She also stated that Pearce Street would be too narrow. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. The Commission took straw votes on additional revisions to the Draft Meadowlark Specific Plan that were submitted in a letter from John P. Erskine, dated September 9, 1998. Commissioner Kerins stated that he would be voting against the Specific Plan because he feels the parking requirements are too low, the applicant cannot meet the garage and open space requirements for Planning Area No. 4, the lots are too small and the Small Lot Ordinance has not yet been adopted by the City. A MOTION WAS MADE BY SPEAKER, SECONDED BY TILLOTSON, TO APPROVE NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO.97-21 WITH MITIGATION MEASURES, ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO.97-4, ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO.97-1 WITH PC Minutes — 9/22/98 3 (98PCM922) FINDINGS AND FORWARD THE ORDINANCE TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR ADOPTION, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Inglee, Chapman, Tillotson, Livengood, Speaker NOES: Kerins, Biddle ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED PLANNING COMMISSION MODIFICATIONS TO DRAFT MEADOWLARK SPECIFIC PLAN: 1. Page 8, Section 3.4 Open Space/Recreation Development within the Meadowlark Specific Plan area shall comply with parkland dedication requirements by dedication and improvement of a minimum 2.4 acre neighborhood park to serve the Meadowlark Community, improvement of 0.8 acres of undeveloped Norma Gibbs park area and payment of parkland in -lieu fees equal to $500,000 per acre to satisfy the remaining Public parkland dedication obligation for development of the site. In addition, private mini -parks shall be provided to serve the Meadowlark Community exclusively and shall be maintained by a Community or Homeowners Association. Although the actual amenity program for the private mini -parks has not been specifically defined, provision of a tot -lot, swimming pool/spa and community meeting/clubhouse is encouraged. Mini -park acreage shall be based on the required common open space requirement per dwelling unit. 2. Page 18, 19, Section 4.4 General Provisions Paragraph G. Garage Use/Design Modify final revised sentence as follows: The difference between the garage area provided and the minimum required (400 square feet) shall be provided in the form of storage areas in overhead, recessed or other storage configurations that do not impede the minimum 18 feet by 19 feet automobile parking area within the garage. 3. Page 21, 26, 31, 36 Planning Areas 1-4 Delete references to Day Care Limited and Day Care, Large Family land uses from the "Permitted Uses" sections of PA 1-4 and replace with language to allow Day Care Large Family, within the proposed Homeowners Association owned Activity Center areas. 4. Page 18, Section 4.4 General Provisions Paragraph F. Parking Add provision to allow tandem parking to satisfy parking requirements within PA-1 (maximum 40 dwelling units) and PA-4 (maximum 45 dwelling units). PC Minutes — 9/22/98 4 (98PCM922) 5. Page 24, 29, 34, 38 Section 4.5 Development Standards, Planning Areas 1-4 Modify standards on fences to allow open view fences up to 42 inches in height within front yard setback areas. 6. Multi -Family Residential Alternative, Planning Area 4 Delete references of multi -family alternative provisions from all Specific Plan sections. No modifications were directed to be made on the following requests by Catellus: a. Revise "bedroom" definition so less on -site parking would be required. Currently, there are several rooms that meet the definition of a bedroom which requires more on —site parking than the plans depict. All definitions are referenced in the HBZSO. b. Reduce primary private open space area requirement from minimum 300 square feet to minimum 225 square feet. c. Allow portion of the private open space area (minimum 400 square feet) to be provided in driveway areas when garage is- located at the rear of the site. Private open space typically is in the rear half of the lot, not in the front setback or on garage driveways. d. Permit all garages in Planning Areas 3 and 4 to be less than minimum 20 feet by 20 feet interior dimensions. Currently up to 25% of units may have garages less than 20 feet by 20 feet with additional storage areas. e. Specify type of public park improvements. Current language is general. FINDINGS OF APPROVAL - ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO.97-4/ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO.97-1: 1. Zoning Text Amendment No. 97-4 to consolidate and update the current Meadowlark Specific Plan and Meadowlark Property Conceptual Master Plan into a single document, to modify the Meadowlark Specific Plan to permit single family detached dwellings on small -lots and incorporate development standards for such development within the revised Specific Plan; and Zoning Map Amendment No. 97-1 to revise/update the Conceptual Master Plan -Exhibit II to reflect reduction in densities within the residential district of the Meadowlark Specific Plan resulting from Zoning Text Amendment No. 97-4 and establish the boundaries for four (4) residential planning areas with densities ranging between nine and half dwelling units per net acre (9.5du/ac) and twenty-seven and half dwelling units per net acre (27.5du/ac) are consistent with the following objectives, policies, general land uses and policies specified in the General Plan. Goal LU 9: Achieve the development of a range of housing units that provides for the diverse economic, physical, and social needs of existing and future residents of Huntington Beach. PC Minutes — 9/22/98 5 (98PCM922) Obiective LU9.1 Provide for the development -of single-family and multi -family residential neighborhoods. Policy LU 9.1.2 Require that single family residential units be designed to convey a high level of quality and character considering the following guidelines: a) Modulate and articulate building elevation, facades and masses (avoiding undifferentiated "box -like" structures). b) Avoid building materials, colors, and construction elements that visually dominate their setting and contrast significantly with the character of the neighborhood. c) Minimize the amount and width of the paving of front yards for driveway and garage access. d) Encourage innovative and creative design concepts. e) Locate and design garages so that they do not dominate the street frontage. Obiective LU 9.3 Provide for the development of new residential subdivisions and projects that incorporate a diversity of uses and are configured to establish a distinct sense of neighborhood and identity. Policy LU9.3.2 Require that the design of new subdivisions consider the following. a) Establish a street configuration involving the interconnection of individual streets that emphasizes a pattern of "blocks" rather than cul-de-sacs. b) Integrate public squares, mini parks, or other landscaped elements. d) Establish a common "gathering" or activity center within a reasonable walking distance of residential neighborhoods. This center may contain services, such as childcare or adult -care, recreation, public meeting rooms, recreational facilities, small convenience commercial uses, or similar facilities. e) Site common facilities around a public park or plaza to encourage a high level of community activity. f) Establish a continuous network of sidewalks, bicycle and pedestrian paths, and other elements that link all community areas and provide linkages to land uses in adjacent areas. h) Site and design of units and incorporate elements, such as porches, that emphasize front yards as an activity area and "outdoor living room," by locating garages in the rear or side yards. i) Consider reduced street widths to achieve a more "intimate" relationship between structures, to the extent feasible and in _ accordance with Huntington Beach Fire Department regulations. j) Consider an increase in front yard setbacks, sidewalk widths, and the inclusion of landscaped parkways, especially in neighborhoods where the street width is reduced. 1) Include setbacks and other design elements that buffer residential units from the impacts of abutting existing commercial and/or industrial development. PC Minutes — 9/22/98 6 (98PCM922) 1 Policy LU9.3.3 Require that non=residential'structures incorporated in residential neighborhoods be designed to be compatible with and convey the visual and physical scale and character of residential structures. 2. Zoning Text Amendment No. 97-4 and Zoning Map Amendment No. 97-1 are compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, the Meadowlark Specific Plan zoning district. The proposed project will reduce the previously approved map density for development within the residential district of the Meadowlark Specific Plan area from six hundred (600) dwelling units to four hundred forty-four (444) dwelling units. 3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed. The compact lot design concept will provide a viable alternative to attached housing, allowing for fee -simple ownership of single-family detached homes at more affordable prices. 4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. 5. The proposed residential densities within the Meadowlark Specific Plan area, range from nine and half (9.5) to twenty-seven and half (27.5) dwelling units per net acre, and provide a gradual transition between the commercial and medium high density attached residential uses (RMH) to the south of the property and the existing low density detached residential uses (RL) to the north, east and west. 6. Zoning Text Amendment No. 97-4 and Zoning Map Amendment No. 97-1 are consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation of Mixed -Use Specific Plan Overlay (M-sp) which permits development of commercial and residential uses and allows the Specific Plan to govern the exact density, location and mix of uses. The Meadowlark Specific Plan includes an existing commercial center and incorporates single family residential development at densities ranging between nine and half (9.5) to twenty-seven and half (27.5) dwelling units per net acre 7. The revised Specific Plan text incorporates a provision requiring one -hundred (100) ft. wide buffer between existing single family development adjacent to the project site and any proposed attached or detached residential development of greater than seven (7) dwelling units per gross acre. The buffer provision stipulates that if detached single family homes are to be provided within said buffer area, the maximum density shall not exceed seven (7) dwelling units per gross acre in order to address land use compatibility issues related to compact lot development onto existing adjoining RL zoning districts. 8. The revised Specific Plan includes provisions for the application of the City's Infill Ordinance to ensure land use compatibility between land uses. 9. The revised Specific Plan incorporates product development provisions and design requirements to ensure high quality development that would not be detrimental to the values of adjacent properties. PC Minutes — 9/22/98 (98PCM922) 10. The revised Specific Plan incorporates language for provision of adequate infrastructure inclusive of drainage, sewer, and water facilities as well as traffic control devices (i.e. traffic signals) per City Standards. 11. Grading within the Specific Plan area will be governed by soils, foundation and other geotechnical reports prepared by registered civil and geotechnical engineers, in accordance with building codes, established engineering practices and City Ordinances. Reasonable efforts will be taken in the design of improvements and building pads to minimize the amount of grading required, thus ensuring maximum compatibility with existing development.
