discouraged with the process of the negotiations. He stated there had been a number of
counter-offers ending in impasse. Mr. Hashin stated the City needed to show goodwill toward
the HBPOA, and that the solution to end the negotiations should be simple.

the people involved think about the citizens and how a pay increase for the HBPOA affects the
budget. Mr. Scheid stated he recognizes the track on which the current negotiations are

mall, expressing her belief that the city has lost a golden opportunity. Ms. Estrada stated the
city has sold out to two "big box, bargain basement" stores, and urged Council to reconsider.
Erika Neilsen, informed Council that her firm, Fahrenheit Advertising Designs had worked with
the Huntington Center Mall in a campaign attempt to make it "advertising worthy." She spoke in
support of "The Crossings," stating that her purpose for speaking was to make the city aware of
the magnitude of its loss with the failure of use of eminent domain on the property. Ms. Neilsen

many amenities that can be reaped through its use.

"back to the drawing board" with its "big box" outlet shopping center as eminent domain had

inability to pay high space rent increases. He informed Council that mobile home owners can

as they exacerbate the current situation.

park his car in his apartment complex area. Mr. Swenson stated the unfairness of being cited
for violations of the street sweeping code when an alternate location to park is not available.

the Frank Wilson & Associates contract. He requested approval of Phase II on Planning
Strategy, informing Council that it is one of the most important parts of the program to promote

requesting extension of the Frank Wilson Associates contract. She informed Council due to the
city's growth, the status of the city's repair problems is not unique. Ms. Urashima stated that
what is unique is that the city is in the forefront in policy setting through its program to inform the
community of the need for repair.

No. 3397 adopted by City Council on June 15, 1998.

proper and just for a citizen/volunteer to administer the procedure, as persons retain their
appeal rights.

presiding individual lacks legal expertise which they believe is necessary to conduct the hearing.
Mayor Julien Houchen concurred that the administrator ought to have legal training.
Mayor Julien Houchen declared the hearing open.

the following Statement of Issue: Recently, the Council approved funding for an interactive,
state-of-the-art, video conferencing center at the library. That process is almost complete and
will soon be made available for general public use. It was also part of my plan during the Year

our Assembly Representative in Sacramento, and perhaps, his Honor, the Mayor of our Sister
City in New Zealand. All three of these contacts have a teleconferencing center in their area. I

Tom Harman and finally, the Mayor.

Members of the Community Regarding Patrol and Opening and Closing Times of Gates
on Overlook Drive (w/o Edwards Street) in the Harriett Wieder Orange County Linear Park

the following Statement of Issue: The majority of the last City Council had created for public
use, the street now called "Overlook Drive," immediately west of Edwards Street, on the top of
the hill adjacent to the Bolsa Chica on the west side and the "Bluff' homes immediately east of
Overlook Drive. Since the opening of that park and view access, semi -through street, some
debate has incurred regarding when the street would be opened each day, when the gates
would be closed at night, etc. Also, since the opening, the Police have been called several
times to investigate other than what appears to be acceptable behavior along Overlook Drive.
A motion was made by Garofalo, second Green to request that the Mayor appoint two people to
meet with the homeowners, police and other related parties, and help to develop and bring
forward to the full Council some recommendations and mitigation that might help continue the
public use of this street and help satisfy the needs of the adjacent property owners. It would be
Councilmember Garofalo's pleasure to serve on this one or two time ad hoc committee to help
resolve this seemingly fixable situation.
Following deliberation, Mayor Julien Houchen determined that the request belongs within the
purview of the Community Services Commission, and requested Councilmembers Garofalo and
Green if they would withdraw their respective motion and second to the motion.

Appendix B Staff Recommendation
ATTACHMENT NO.2
FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.00-60NARIANCE NO. 00-24
FINDINGS FOR CEOA:
The Planning Commission finds that this project was analyzed under Final EIR No. 99-1 certified by the
City Council in August 1999. All applicable mitigation measures identified in Final EIR No. 99-1 are
included in the conditions of approval.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERiti1IT NO.00-60:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 00-60 to:
a) construct a sports complex on a 45-acre site;
b) allow development on a site with greater than a three foot grade differential between the low point
and high point;
c) allow walls and fences up to a maximum height of 30 feet in lieu of 3.5 feet high within the front,
interior side, and rear yards; specifically 1) an eight foot high wall along Goldenwest Street at the
main driveway; 2) a four foot high tubular fence along Gothard Street; 3) an eight foot high wall
along the south boundary next to the mobile home park; 4) a 30 foot high backstop along the south
lot line; and 5) a four foot high fence along Goldenwest Street
will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or
detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. The sports complex
will improve a vacant site with an attractive facility, which incorporates quality landscaping, as well
as attractive public plazas, project monumentation, and concession/restroom buildings. It will provide
much needed sports facilities for use by participants in various city sports programs. All the proposed
walls within the required setback areas serve to protect the users of the sports complex as well as the
surrounding uses. Adequate parking for the use is provided entirely on site.
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because the sports complex is an
extension of the character and purpose of Central Park to provide park and recreation amenities to
citizens as well as visitors. Mitigation measures have been incorporated into the design to reduce
potential impacts to a level that is less than significant, including restrictions on use and lighting. A
significant setback and privacy wall are provided for the abutting mobile home park. Substantial
landscaped setbacks along all street frontages will provide an attractive and pleasing buffer. The site
will be graded to allow proper drainage while achieving compatibility with the surrounding area to the
greatest extent feasible.
3. The proposed project will comply with the provisions of the base district'and other applicable
provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, as well as any
specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located, except for
any variances approved concurrently. The project meets or exceeds all minimum development
(30) December 18, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 30
requirements including setbacks for the buildings, landscaping, parking, and site coverage among
others.
4. The granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent
with the Land Use Element designation of OS-P (Open Space -Park) on the subject property which
permits parks and recreation facilities. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and
policies of the General Plan:
a. LU 4 -Achieve and maintain high quality architecture, landscape, and public open spaces in the
City.
b. LU 14.1.1 - Accommodate the development of public parks ... in areas designated for Open
Space on the Land Use Plan Map.
C. LU 14.1.3 - Require that structures located in the City's parks and other open spaces are designed
to maintain the environmental character in which they are located.
d. RCS 1 - Enrich the quality of life for all citizens of Huntington Beach by providing constructive
and creative leisure opportunities.
e. RCS 1.1.4 - Encourage and facilitate the development of a wide variety of revenue generating
recreational activities such as corporate picnic facilities, wedding facilities, infant, child, or senior
day care, fishing facilities, golf courses, ranges, batting cages, roller hockey, sports fields, etc.
f. RCS 3 - Develop park sites to provide diverse recreational and sports facilities that meet the
residents' and visitors' active and passive recreational needs.
g. RCS 3.1.3 - Develop public parks and recreation facilities that link trails and existing recreational
facilities.
FINDINGS FORAPPROVAL - VARIANCE NO.00-24:
1. The granting of Variance No. 00-24 to allow a 20 foot landscaped setback in lieu of 25 feet for an 85
foot portion along Gothard to allow the installation of built-in bleachers will not constitute a grant of
special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an
identical zone classification. Other properties in the city have been granted variances for minor
landscaped setback encroachments similar to that proposed for this project. The project overall
exceeds all other landscaping requirements including percentage of landscaping provided at 47
percent where only eight percent is required.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject proPerty, including size and shape, the
strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed
by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. The site has an odd shaped
north boundary which restricts the layout of the sports fields. Approval of the variance will allow
bleachers to be provided along the Gothard Street frontage at a landscaped setback of 20 feet in lieu of
25 feet.
(31) December 18, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 31
3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property
rights. Approval of the variance will allow for an efficient use of the site b
number of sports fields with all the requisite amenities such as bleachers. y providing the maximum
4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
property in the same zone classification. The variance represents a minor reduction in,the required 25
foot landscaped setback along Gothard Street down to 20 feet for only an 85 foot portion of the entire
630 foot frontage along Gothard. Overall landscaping percentage (47 percent provided where
minimum 8 percent is required) as well as tree count for the project significantly exceeds the
minimum code requirements. rZ
5. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the Land
Use Element designation of OS-P (Open Space -Park) on the subject property which permits the
proposed sports complex.

in. Geology 1: The City of Huntington Beach shall incorporate the following recommendations into
Plans and Specifications for the Sports Complex element of the proposed Master Plan for the
Proposed project as a means of reducing the effects of expected ground surface settlements on the
Proposed improvements: (Mitigation Measure)
• For environmental compliance, maintaining at least a 6-foot thick layer of cover soils over the
refuse; this would require special permitting from the Regional Water Quality Control Board
(RWQCB) as a monolithic cover system
• Pre -loading areas where structures are planned to reduce the elastic component of the refuse
settlement
• In -situ improvement of the upper portions of the refuse through the use of dynamic
compaction
(34) December 18, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 34
• Including a synthetic reinforcement material in the 6-foot thick cover soil layer to create a stiff
layer of soil capable of supporting structures and tending to distribute the effects of differential
settlement
n. Geology 2: Prior to circulation of plans and specifications for construction of the Sport Complex
element of the proposed Master Plan, the City of Huntington Beach shall undertake sufficient
engineering analysis to specify earthwork techniques to mitigate for the presence of peat, alluvial,.
and colluvial soils. The potential to design structures to accommodate the potential settlement
resulting from compression of those materials shall be considered. Alternatively, compressible
soils may be removed and replaced with engineered fill that is less compressible or is reworked
during grading to reduce compressibility. Other construction techniques such as dynamic
compaction, compaction grouting, or vibro flotation/replacement can be used to improve the
materials in situ (i.e., in place) so that they are not as susceptible to compression. (Mitigation
Measure)
o. Geology 5: The City of Huntington Beach will include in the plans and specifications for the
Sports Complex element of the proposed Master Plan the need to remove collapsible materials
prior to construction of any structures or pavement. The City will also include in the plans and
specifications for the Sports Complex element of the proposed Master Plan the need to reduce the
potential for damage from expansive soils through incorporation of appropriate engineering
design, and construction methods. These methods typically include either reworking the materials
so that they are placed at a moisture content and density that is less susceptible to expansion or
treatment of the expansive soils with lime to stabilize them. (Mitigation Measure)
p. Geology 6: The City shall include in the plans and specifications for the Sports Complex element
of the proposed Master Plan the need to incorporate appropriate design and construction measures
related to correction of corrosive soils' potential to corrode ferrous materials through: (Mitigation
Measure)
• Proper selection of construction materials
• Cathodic protection, including sacrificial rods or materials
• Removal of the corrosive materials adjacent to the ferrous materials and replacement with non-
corrosive soils
• Concrete elements that will be in contact with potentially corrosive materials can be designed
using special cement that is more resistant to corrosion
q. Geology 7: The City will include in the plans and specifications for all project level elements
requiring imported fill material, the need for soils brought on -site to comply with City
Specification 429 and as such, these activities would be subject to review and approval by the
City's Fire Department. (Mitigation Measure)
r. Water 1: The City will require that project design of the Sport Complex will be undertaken to
ensure that there is no substantial increases in the rate and amount of surface runoff. Incidental
drainage will be routed off of the site to the existing storm drains to the north and west. It is
(35) December 18, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 35
assumed that improvements to the existing storm drain system will be completed before project
completions, as described in Measure Utitlities-3. (Mitigation Measure)
S. Water 2: The construction Contractor will be required to incorporate Best Management Practices
(BMPs) consistent with the guidelines provided in the California Storm Water Best Management
Practice Handbooks for Construction and Industrial/Commercial Activities, and Appendices F and
G of the DAMP. Revegetation of cut and fill slopes resulting from project development will be
undertaken with native vegetation or compatible non-invasive drought tolerant specie-s wherever
feasible. Compliance with this mitigation measure shall be demonstrated prior to issuance of
grading permits or building permits, whichever comes first. (Mitigation Measure)
t. Water 3: The construction manager will be required to incorporate City Ordinance No. 3364
entitled "Storm Water and Urban Runoff Management" and BMPs consistent with the guidelines
provided in the California Storm )%rater Best ianagement Practice Handbooks: Municipal to
ensure control of flood hazards and water quality prior to issuance of grading permits or building
permits, whichever comes first. (Mitigation Measure)
U. Hazards 11: The City Fire Department will prepare a Fire Risk Evaluation prior to issuance of
grading permits. (Mitigation Measure)
v. Hazards 15: Prior to construction of the Sports Complex, the City of Huntington Beach Fire
Department and Public Works Department shall review all construction plans and specifications to
ensure that the specifications require that each contractor involved in grading activities develop a
site- and action -specific comprehensive Health and Safety Plan. The plans and specifications will
require that the Health and Safety Plan be developed using the information available about past
uses of those sites and the possibility that solid waste, PCH-contaminated soils, and/or potentially
hazardous waste materials could be encountered. (Mitigation Measure)
W. The City of Huntington Beach shall incorporate the findings and recommendations of the
geotechnical report into the plans and specifications for the sports complex.
3. Prior to submittal for building permits, the following shall be completed:
a. Zoning entitlement conditions of approval shall be printed verbatim on all the working drawing
sets used for issuance of building permits (architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical and
plumbing) and shall be referenced in the index.
b. Submit three (3) copies of the site plan and floor plans and the processing fee to the Planning
Department for addressing purposes.
C. A detailed soils analysis shall be prepared by a registered Soils Engineer and submitted with the
building permit application. This analysis shall include on -site soil sampling and laboratory
testing of materials to provide detailed recommendations regarding: grading, foundations,
retaining walls, streets, utilities, and chemical and fill properties of underground items including
buried pipe and concrete and the protection thereof. (Code Requirement)
(36) December 18, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 36
d. An engineering geologist shall be engaged to submit a report indicating the ground surface
acceleration from earth movement for the subject property. All structures within this development
shall be constructed in compliance with the g-factors as indicated by the geologist's report.
Calculations for footings and structural members to withstand anticipated g-factors shall be
submitted to the City for review prior to the issuance of building permits. (Code Requirement)
Utility 3: Prior- to final design of the Sports Complex, the City of Huntington Beach will conduct a
sewer flow monitoring test to determine the capacity of the existing 15-inch diameter pipeline in
Goldenwest Street. If the existing capacity is determined to be inadequate to accommodate the
proposed project's sewage flow, replacement of a determined portion of the sewer line shall be
undertaken at that time. An 8-inch diameter collector sewer line will be required for carrying
waste discharges from the project. (Mitigation Measure)
f. Aesthetics 1: Prior to completion of Plans and Specifications for the Sports Complex, the City of
Huntington Beach shall include specifications related to security and night lighting to minimize
impacts to the adjacent mobile homes. At minimum, such specifications shall require the use of
photo -control -on and time -clock -off (dusk to dawn) system to control security and night lighting.
The type of illumination system for security lighting will be low glare and will not interfere with
views yet will provide security. Security lighting will use high -efficiency, non -glare, high-
pressure sodium lamps. Night lighting shall be oriented away from residential areas. The use of
shields shall be considered as a means of minimizing the effects of night lighting on the temporary
location of the Ocean View Estates Mobile Home Complex. (Mitigation Measure)
g. Aesthetics 2: Prior to completion of Plans and Specifications for the Sports Complex, the City of
Huntington Beach shall include specifications for landscape treatment to screen the south side of
the 6-8-foot-high wall to be constructed between the southern boundary of the Sports Complex
and the Ocean View Estates Mobile Homes. (Mitigation Measure)
4. Prior to issuance of building permits, the following shall be completed:
a. A planned sign program and any other necessary entitlements for all project signage shall be

headed cowbird trapping program will be submitted to the US Fish and Wildlife Service for review
and comment at least three months prior to the beginning of grading.
Traps used to remove cowbirds will be modified Australian crow traps. These traps allow live capture
of birds so that non -target birds can be released unharmed. The traps will be baited with live. juvenile
or female brown -headed cowbirds which will be captured prior to the trapping period with baited traps
or mist nets. The juvenile or female cowbirds attract the attention of adult birds and lure them into
traps. Once inside the trap, it is difficult for the birds to escape and they can be easily removed.
Approximately four bait birds are kept in a separate cage within the trap and are not removed until the
trapping season is over. The traps will be placed and maintained so as to provide trapped and bait
birds ample shade, food, and water while they are in traps. All cowbirds (male, female, and juvenile)
that are caught in the traps will be disposed of humanely.
Trapping will take place during the nesting period of riparian bird species found in Central Park that
are known to be parasitized by brown -headed cowbirds. Traps will be checked daily during the
trapping period to remove both trapped cowbirds and non -target species, which will be released. Bait
birds lost to predation or escape will be replaced during the daily checks.
An annual letter report documenting the results of the trapping program will be submitted to the US
Fish and Wildlife Service. Results of the trapping program will be recorded including the date and
time of trap checking, observer(s), weather, age of trapped birds (both target and non -target species),
treatment of the birds (whether released, disposed of, or retained as bait birds), and other data
pertaining to any unusual event, such as predation or loss of bait birds. (Mitigation Measure)
