stated her objections to what she believes are rumors by Wal-Mart project opponents.

campaign in opposition to Measure I is a "grass roots" campaign is untrue as the funding is from
Wal-Mart and the persons making phone calls in opposition to Measure I are from out of the
city. Ms. Boardman spoke regarding the bad terms of the lease agreement that the school
district has entered into. She stated that approval of Measure I to rezone the closed Crest View
school site will enable the district to remove itself from the lease.

opposition to Measure I to rezone the closed Crest View school site to residential. He listed
benefits to the community that will be derived from the sales tax revenue.

unanimously in opposition to Measure I which would rezone the closed Crest View school site to
residential. She stated that she believes it is a benefit to the community and to the children to
vote against Measure I.
RONI ELLIS presented reasons in opposition to Measure I as the city needs more restaurants,
shopping and sales tax revenue rather than residential development. She spoke regarding the
benefits to the children in the community from the Wal-Mart project planned at the closed Crest
View school site. She urged a "no" vote on Measure I.
JOHN JANKOWSKI, Huntington Beach Mobile Home Owners' Association, spoke regarding the
need for mobile home rent stabilization and urged Council's support.
TERESA REYNOLDS, mobile home owner, spoke regarding the problem of escalating rents to
mobile home owners and the monopoly that she believes is enjoyed by mobile home park
owners. She spoke regarding the advantages taken by the mobile home park owners at the
expense of the residents. Ms. Reynolds informed Council that the financial assistance that park
owners state they provide is not enough and there is a very long waiting list for HUD or other
housing assistance.
VIRGINIA ALLEMAN, mobile home owner, spoke regarding the differences and the similarities
between ownership of a mobile home and ownership of a house. She spoke regarding the
escalating mobile space rents and requested that Council give serious consideration to putting
the mobile home rent stabilization issue on the agenda.

the consultants hired for the Belmont School in the Los Angeles Unified School District and the
Brea School District. She stated the consultants' handling of these project cost the taxpayers
millions of dollars. She requested the voters to vote "yes" on Measure I to rezone the closed
Crest View school site to residential, for the children and for a better solution to the disposition
of the closed Crest View school site.
MARK WILSON spoke regarding what he believes are the disadvantages of the lease between
Wal-Mart and the school district. He stated that the average life span of Wal-Mart at any given
site is seven years. He informed Council that Arnel Development has existed eight years and
already had a number of law suits filed against it. He urged a "yes" vote on Measure I to rezone
the Crest View School Site to residential.
MARVIN JOSEPHSON spoke regarding what he believes are the drawbacks of the lease
between the school district and Wal-Mart including that the school district will not be eligible for
matching funds. He spoke regarding the merits of not leasing the site to Wal-Mart and stated
that a "yes" vote will send a message that the people cannot be bought.
PAULINE ROBISON stated that the City Attorney had approved the Mobile Home Rent
Stabilization Ordinance and requested that it be presented to the Council.
CLAY HAGE, member of the Huntington Beach Mobile Home Park Owners' Association,
informed Council of the reason why mobile home park owners oppose rent control including that

continued to come up with rhetoric.
Page 6- Council/Agency Minutes — 02/07/00
ED ROBISON informed Council that he believes rent control is needed and referred to many
Veterans who live in mobile home parks.
JAMES JONES, representative of the Huntington Beach Mobile Home Park by the Sea, spoke
regarding the pride he has in the park as a mobile home park owner. He stated the park has
the highest rent charged and the highest demand to live there. Mr. Jones stated that last year
over $300,000 was spent in improvements for the park and he believes the park is probably one
of the finest you could find anywhere. He spoke regarding the rental assistance program
offered to residents. He stated that rent control was not the answer. He informed Council that
some of the families use their mobile homes in his park as second homes. He encouraged
Council to visit his mobile home park.

He stated that it does not take sympathy or allegiance to the gay minority but that it is a matter
of fairness to beat Proposition 22.
ALLEN HOSE spoke in opposition to Proposition 22 California Defense of Marriage Act as he
believes this proposed proposition is pitting one group of religious bodies against another. He
stated his belief that the constitutional guarantee of religious freedom be protected. He urged a
"no" vote on Proposition 22.
DAVID ESCH stated reasons why he opposed Proposition 22 California Defense of Marriage
Act stating that marriage has not been an unchanging situation in this country, for example, the

regarding the need for civil marriages to be allowed for same sex couples rather than religious
ceremonies.

Gardens Homeowners' Association effort to have a good project developed at the northeast
corner of Beach Boulevard and Adams Avenue as it is a deteriorated area.

vote on Measure I.

at the closed Crest View school site.

residential.
HARRY TURNER, Huntington Beach Mobile Home Owners' Association, stated that the mobile
home park owners have raised the rents over 100% of the cost of living in the last 15 years. He
stated that it may be that 50% of the people are paying 40% of their income on rent.
ALLAN POGRUND presented reasons why he will vote "no" on Measure I as he believes the
city will benefit from Wal-Mart through revenues to schools and no increase in taxes. He stated
that high residential development at the closed Crest View school site is not wanted.
02/07/00 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 7
GAYLE O'CONNOR urged Council to vote "yes" on Measure I as Wal-Mart does not belong in a
low density residential district. She informed Council that she owns a condominium at Beach
Boulevard and Adams Avenue where the traffic is great, and that it will also be very much
increased in the proposed area for which the Wal-Mart project is planned. She spoke regarding
the children crossing from school and the need for safety. She stated that every Wal-Mart that
she has seen, has access from the freeway and can be seen easily by shoppers. She referred
to the school crossing signs displayed in the Council's chamber stating that they were a big
improvement but children's safety still requires a crossing guard because of the big trucks in the
proposed area. Ms. O'Connor stated that both the school and community would have a "win -
win" situation by locating the Wal-Mart project in the Huntington Center or in an appropriate
commercial area.
CHUCK OSTERLUND stated that the whole school district, not just one school district must be
considered in relation to approval to the Wal-Mart project. He informed Council that the goal
was, and is, to have long term funds and not ask the voters for a bond issue. Mr. Osterlund
stated that those opposed to Wal-Mart were good at character assassination. He stated that the
bids which the proponents of Measure I stated had been received for the site were bogus bids.
CHUCK SCHEID spoke regarding the last Council meeting at which he had raised the issue of
employees' salary and in particular the salary of the city librarian.
DALE HOOVER stated that the importance of voting "yes" on Measure I to rezone the closed
Crest View school site to residential. He displayed a copy of the lease and pointed out its
deficiencies. He stated that the money that would be derived from state funds has to be spent
on improvements. He stated he believes this is why the school district instead favors the lease
with Wal-Mart.
MIKE NELSON spoke in opposition to the location of the Wal-Mart project at the closed Crest
View school site. He stated that he is glad that there is a free press which he believes has
presented articles informative to the public. He requested persons to visit the Save Crest View
web site.
ROBERT CRONK urged everyone present to vote "yes" on Measure I which would rezone the
closed Crest View school site to residential. He requested that the mobile home owners vote
"yes" on Measure I as Wal-Mart will not get a rent increase in 10-years, as opposed to the rent
increases that the mobile home owners receive. He reviewed what he believes are the bad
terms of the Wal-Mart lease with the school district.
RICHARD ADAMS, Crest View United, addressed Council regarding the reasons why he
believes Measure I to rezone the closed Crest View school site to residential should be
approved. He stated that the citizens' vote counts.
BARBARA BOSKOVICH stated that she believes the Mayor owes the people of the Crest View
area an apology as they do have pride in their neighborhood; also that there is no access to
Wal-Mart from Beach Boulevard as the access to Wal-Mart is only from Talbert Avenue. She
believes the Wal-Mart issue has become a "three-ring circus" and questioned who do we
believe; do we believe the school district that enters into a lease with a consultant who cost the
Los Angeles Unified School District increased expenditures above that which had been
anticipated.
Page 8- Council/Agency Minutes — 02/07/00
STEVE GULLAGE, Huntington Beach Mobile Home Owners' Association, spoke regarding the
Mobile Home Fair Practices Act as it relates to the mobile home owners' need for relief from the
economic evictions of mobile home residents. He stated that nothing seems to happen when
citizens who contribute to the city ask for assistance but when mobile home park owners, who
do not live in the city, request assistance they receive attention.
WILLIAM BERNARD spoke regarding the statements of the previous speaker who represents
mobile home park owners. He stated that the Mobile Home Park Owners' Association
supported a proposition in the past which would have outlawed mobile home rent stabilization in
this state. He requested that the Council bring forward the proposed Mobile Rent Ordinance for
inclusion on the City Council agenda and that the ordinance be acted upon by the Council one
way or the other.
PAM WALKER, member, Ocean View School District Board of Trustees member, stated
reasons why the lease between Wal-Mart and the school district is a good lease. She explained
the provisions of the lease and explained that the lease revenue cannot be spent on salaries.
She stated that with a 90 foot buffer this property would be more removed from the
neighborhood than it now is. She urged a "no" vote on Measure I.
TRACY PELLMAN, member of the Ocean View School District Board of Trustees, urged a "no"
vote on Measure I to rezone the closed Crest View school site to residential. She stated that
there has never been an offer of $8,000,000 for the property. She responded to the other
statements made by Measure I supporters relative to the financing structure which she stated
are not true. Ms. Pellman spoke regarding the false representations made by the initiative
petition gatherers. Ms. Pellman announced the web site of the opponents of Measure I.

RON SHENKMAN spoke in agreement with the city's Contract Planner, Bob Goldin, that Aera
Energy's position in the conceptual master plan is as a passive participant. He stated that Peter
Templeton of the Templeton Planning Group and spokesman for Aera will address this issue.
(This is relative to the fact that Aera property is not expected to be developed for another 15 to
20 years or so, as stated in Mr. Templeton's letter to the City Council dated February 7, 2000.)
Mr. Shenkman made a request on the part of the developer for flexibility; that nothing be "fixed
in cement."
TERRY ENDERS informed Council that he owns acreage adjacent to the PLC Land Company
site. He expressed his appreciation for the invitation he received from PLC Land Company to
meet with property owners. Mr. Enders said that his lack of motivation to participate stems from
the fact that the goal is not clear; not knowing what the property will look like 15 years from now.
He stated that he is looking for flexibility in the development plan.

PETER TEMPLETON of the Templeton Planning Group retained by Aera Energy, informed
Council of having completed a statistical analysis including square footage of the site. He
stated that strong efforts are being made to look at land uses, and cited several scenarios
including specific/park use, and visitor serving commercial park use. He stated that Aera can
set up a meeting with city staff to look at other approaches.
CORRIE BROUSSARD addressed Council in favor of the project. She made a request to get on
with the Specific Plan and expressed her pleasure looking forward to the development of the Holly
Seacliff area.
TOM DE GUELLE, representing the FANS Committee (Friends and Neighbors of Seacliff),
addressed Council in favor of the project. Mr. De Guelle expressed his enthusiasm as a mobile
home resident for the PLC Land Company's 54-acre project.
SUZANNE BUEKEMA representing the FANS Committee (Friends and Neighbors of Sealcliff),
addressed Council in favor of the project. Ms. Buekema informed Council that this support is due
to PLC Land Company's efforts to lower density in the project area.
There being no persons present to speak further on the matter and there being no protests filed,
either written or oral, the hearing was closed by the Mayor.
Councilmember Dettloff stated that the intent to use best management practices in the drainage

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO. 98-3/
LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO.98-3/
SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 98-1 AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 98-8
SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 98-8.
The Negative Declaration No. 98-8 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 thirty (30) days. Comments received during the comment period were :considered
by the Planning Commission prior to action on the Negative Declaration and Zoning Map
Amendment No. 98-3, Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 98-3, the Seacliff Promenade
Conceptual Master Plan and Specific Plan No. 98-1.
2. Mitigation measures incorporated in the environmental assessment avoid or reduce the project's
effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment will occur. The
recommended mitigation measures include provisions to mitigate the short-term environmental
impacts associated with grading, remediation and construction -related activities on the 150 acre site.
The mitigation measures also address the potential Iona -term environmental impacts associated with
existing and proposed land uses, traffic, noise, air quality and public services and facilities. The
mitigation measures reduce the potential environmental impacts of the projects to a level of
insignificance.
3. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Planning Commission that the
project, as mitigated, will have a significant effect on the environment. Updated traffic, air quality and
noise studies were prepared to assess the proposed project to determine whether the project falls
within the scope of the analysis of the adopted Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR)
prepared for the City's 1996 General Plan. After analyzing the potential impacts associated with the
project, it has been determined that the project, with the recommended mitigation measures, is within
the scope of the PEIR and reduces the potential environmental 'impacts of the projects to a level of
insignificance.
SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO.98-3 and
SPECIFIC PLAN NO.98-1:
Zoning Map Amendment No. 98-3 amending District Map Nos. 3Z, 4Z and IOZ, and changing the
zoning designations on the 150 acre site from High Density Residential with an Oil and Coastal
Overlay (RH-O-C), General Commercial with an Oil and Coastal Overlay (CG-O-CZ), General
Industrial with an Oil and Coastal Overlay (IG-O-CZ), and General Industrial with an Oil Production
and Coastal Overlay (IG-OI-CZ) to SP-12 (Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan) and Specific Plan No.
98-1 is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the
General Plan because it allows for a specific plan designation on the site. The changes proposed
would be compatible with uses in the vicinity, which are residential, recreation and open space.
Page 16 — Council/Agency Minutes — 02/07/00
2. In the case of genefaI land use provisions, the zoning map amendment and proposed specific plan are
compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, the zoning district for which
it is proposed. The changes proposed would be compatible with uses in the vicinity, which are
residential, open space and recreation.
3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed. The changes would expand the
opportunities for housing and address the needs of a growing population and provide for future visitor
serving uses consistent with the City's General Plan and Local Coastal Program.
4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice.
The Specific Plan provides for compatible land uses, public parks to serve the existing community and
adequate infrastructure to serve the development.
SUGGESTED FMINGS FOR APPROVAL — LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT
NO. 98-3:
1. The Local Coastal Program amendment to the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program to change the
Land Use Plan designations from Medium High Residential and Resource Production with a Visitor
Serving Overlay to Mixed Use -Horizontal Integration of Housing with a specific plan overlay, is
consistent with the 1996 General Plan designations in that they provide for visitor serving uses,
including open space and recreational uses, as well as, residential uses.
2. The proposed change to the Local Coastal Program is in accordance with the policies, standards and
provisions of the California Coastal Act that encourage visitor serving uses. The Local Coastal
Program Amendment promotes the City's Local Coastal Program goals and objectives by allowing a
mix of uses, with residential uses on the inland side and visitor serving uses, including open space and
recreational opportunities on the ocean side of the site. The proposed land uses will provide for future_
visitor serving opportunities on the Aera parcel once the oil production activities have ceased. -
The development conforms with the public access and public recreation policies. of Chapter 3 of the
California Coastal Act. The Conceptual Master Plan and Specific Plan design guidelines encourage
focal points and pedestrian areas with the emphasis on ocean oriented views. The Conceptual Master
Plan and Specific Plan provides open space and recreational opportunities on the ocean side of the site
and a public park site on the inland side of the site. Esplanades and greenbelts provide opportunities
for public access through and between the site. No existing coastal access will be impacted." '
