® WITH THE FOLLOWING MODIFIED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
HE STATED THAT THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR CAN BE
APPEALED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITHIN TEN (10) CALENDAR DAYS.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - MINOR AMENDMENT TO MCDONNELL CENTRE
BUSINESS PARK SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 11:
The proposed minor amendment to McDonnell Centre Business Park Specific Plan provides for
the addition of information to the exhibits and text which serve to clarify, but do not change the
meaning or intent of the Specific Plan. These amendments include minor revisions to the
Circulation Plan, corresponding changes to water, sewer and stormdrain alignments, a minor
revision and clarification of the requirements for landscape buffer zones between aerospace and
non -aerospace land uses, and updates to exhibits (statistical analysis, phasing plan, schedule of
improvements and aerial photographs) to reflect existing conditions.
2. The proposed minor amendment to McDonnell Centre Business Park Specific Plan provides for
changes to the infrastructure (i.e., storm drain, water and sewer systems) as recommended by the
City's Director of Public Works.
3. The proposed minor amendment to McDonnell Centre Business Park Specific Plan provides for
the subdivision of land, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 of the Specific Plan. The
amended Specific Plan proposes a 14,270 square -foot reduction in development potential and
is
reduces net developable acreage by 4.8 acres.
ZA Minutes 02/06/02 5 (02zm0206)
4. The proposed minor amendment to McDonnell Centre Business Park Specific Plan provides for
modifications to the alignment of Planning Area boundaries, to coincide with specific development
plans, as recommended by the City's Director of Planning. Proposed revisions include an
adjustment between the boundaries of Planning Areas 1, 4 and 5.
5. All proposed modifications have been reviewed for compliance with the goals and policies of the
City's General Plan, intent of the McDonnell Centre Business Park Specific Plan and consistency
with the Environmental Impact Report. The Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No. 96-1
describes the project changes, the potential for new or increased significant impacts, and compares
the environmental impacts of the current revision with the impacts described in EIR No. 96-1.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 01-122:
Tentative Parcel Map No. 01-122 to subdivide 91.5 acres into 20 parcels (ranging in size from
1.05 to 6.35 acres) for future industrial development, and three lettered lots for use as public
streets, including concurrent phased roadway and supporting infrastructure improvements
and approximately 429,954 cubic yards of cut and 854,716 cubic yards of fill, is consistent
with the McDonnell Centre Business Park Specific Plan No. 11 and the General Plan Land
Use Element designation of I-F2A-d-sp (Industrial — .75 maximum floor area ratio — design
overlay — specific plan) on the subject property, and applicable provisions of the Huntington
Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, including minimum lot size and lot frontage
requirements.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development permitted under Specific
Plan No. 11. The proposed parcel map, as conditioned, includes provisions for grading of •
future building sites, and phased construction of roadways and supporting infrastructure as
necessary to accommodate future development in accordance with Specific Plan No. 11
development standards and land use regulations, including new streets, curbs, gutters,
sidewalks, street lighting, parkway landscaping, water lines, sewer lines and storm drain
improvements. In addition, conditions of approval require a soils analysis, an updated sewer
study, establishment of a mechanism for the financing of maintenance, operations and
replacement of any required sewer lift stations and force mains, a water quality management
plan, hydrology and hydraulic studies, a traffic study, and soil remediation plans as necessary
to ensure the suitability of the project area for future development. The suitability of the site
for the type and density of development permitted is further supported by Environmental
Impact Report No. 96-1 and the January 2002 Addendum, and ensured by mitigation
measures contained therein.
3. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause serious health
problems or substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife
or their habitat. The potential for the proposed subdivision and improvements to cause significant
environmental impacts is evaluated in the January 2002 Addendum to Environmental Impact
Report No. 96-1. The Addendum concluded that no significant environmental impacts will result
beyond those identified and addressed in Environmental Impact Report No. 96-1.
4. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements,
acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed
subdivision, unless alternative easements for access or for use will be provided. The proposed
ZA Minutes 02/06/02 6 (02zm0206)
subdivision and Minor Amendment to Specific Plan No. 11 includes provisions for phased
construction of new public streets and sidewalks, resulting in improved public access to and
® through the project area. All existing public easements will be maintained.

ZA Minutes 02/06/02 16 (02zm0206)
6. An updated Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) shall be prepared at the expense of McDonnell
Douglas or successor in interest as the interim trip budget is reached. The methodology to
determine when a TIA is required is to start at the anticipated "existing" trip end total of 28,065
TE. For each new building developed (where the City traffic fee is applied), add the City trip
generation requirement to the 28,065 total until the original 55,510 TE threshold is reached, at
which point a traffic study would be required. The first 10,470 TE of entitlements "used" by
Boeing would not be added to the trip budget accounting, but any subsequent use of the remaining
7,795 entitlements (no traffic fee required) would count toward the Interim trip budget. This
revised TIA shall not relieve the developer of any obligation to pay any traffic impact fees (should
the present or any other traffic impact fee program be in place) or provide for mitigation measures
for development at the time of developments. Also, said TIA shall be presented to the Planning
Commission for review prior to approval by Planning Director and Public Works Director.

EIR), an updated acoustical analysis shall be performed on the following two roadway segments:

Westminster Boulevard to determine if potential vehicular noise will impact nearby residential
units. The study will be prepared under the supervision of an acoustical engineer and include a
discussion of the need for noise attenuation measures and/or noise barriers to ensure compliance
with City noise standards. This analysis shall be submitted to and approved by the Planning
Department. (Mitigation Measure)
8. Throughout the Specific Plan implementation, the City shall maintain and update an annual trip
budget monitoring report to determine the status of the constructed and approved development
applications (entitled) development and resulting expected trips within the McDonnell Center
Specific Plan area. This annual trip budget monitoring report shall be based upon building permits
issued and (entitled) development within the McDonnell Center. The trip budget monitoring report
shall include gross and usable square footages of the constructed and/or entitled usage, a
description of the land usage, and the trip generation rates used for the land usage proposed. The
trip rates used in the monitoring report shall be those rates contained in the latest Trip Generation
manual published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (currently the 5th edition and 5th
edition update) or another reliable source (i.e., another traffic study) as approved by the City
Traffic Engineer. (Mitigation Measure)
9. Exhibit 12 — Water System Plan of McDonnell Centre Specific Plan No. 11 (p. 34) shall be revised
