(City Council) Adopted Resolution No. 2002-113 Declaring the Cercis Occidentalis
(Western Redbud) as the Official. Tree of the City of Huntington Beach Replacing the
Lemon Bottlebrush as Recommended by the Beautification, Landscape and Tree
Committee (130.30)
The City Council considered a communication from Mayor Debbie Cook, Mayor Pro Tern
Connie Boardman and Councilmember Ralph Bauer, Members of the Beautification Landscape
and Tree Committee informing Council that on April 6, 1964, the City Council passed a motion
from the Huntington Beach Women's Division of the Chamber of Commerce to name the Lemon
Bottlebrush the official tree of the City of Huntington Beach. This action apparently was never
consummated with a formal resolution; thus, the Lemon Bottlebrush is currently the 'unofficial"
City tree.
In 1999, the Beautification; Landscape and Tree Committee (Committee) was formed. to discuss
issues related to the City's. urban forest and landscaping. To preserve the authenticity of the
City's urban forest, the Committee has recommended that the City formally adopt a tree native
to California as the official City tree, and has selected the Cercis Occidentalis, more commonly
known as the Western Redbud, due to its beauty, vitality, and ability to flourish in this climate.
The Western Redbud is indigenous to the region, is drought tolerant, and once established,
requires little maintenance. The conditions present in our parkways will provide a suitable
environment, while its deciduous nature will produce yellow and red colors in fall, magenta
blooms in spring, and reddish -brown seedpods in winter.
The Council memo further sets forth that the Committee recognizes the value of trees and their
ability to enrich the quality of life and the beauty of our community and, by adopting the Western
Redbud as the City's official tree, it wishes to continue the preservation of the City of Huntington
Beach's natural environment as well as its.history.
A motion was made by Cook, second Boardman to adopt attached Resolution No. 2002-113 -
"A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Declaring Cercis Occidentalis
(the Western Redbud) the Official City Tree." The motion carried by the following roll call vote:

ATTACHMENT NO.1*
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO.02-02:
1. Zoning Map Amendment No. 02-02 to change the zoning on the following properties:
a. + 7.3 acre First Christian Church campus from RL and RL-O (Residential Low Density
Oil Production Overlay) to PS (Public -Semipublic) to conform to the existing General Plan
designation of designation of P(RL-7) (Public with underlying designation of Residential Low
Density);
b. a + 0.75 acre parcel at the Smith Elementary School from RM (Residential Medium
Density) to PS (Public -Semipublic) to conform to the existing General Plan designation of
P(RL-7) (Public with underlying designation of Residential Low Density) and to match the
zoning of the remainder of the school;
C. + 50 acre AES Generating Station from 1G-0-CZ-FP2 (General Industrial — Oil
Production Overlay — Coastal Zone Overlay— Floodplain Overlay) to PS-O-CZ-FP2 (Public -
Semipublic -- Oil Production Overlay — Coastal Zone Overlay — Floodplain Overlay) to
conform to the existing General Plan designation of P (Public); and
d. + 28 acre Edison tank site from IG-O-CZ-FP2 (General Industrial -- Oil Production
Overlay - Coastal Zone Overlay— Floodplain Overlay) to PS-0-CZ-FP2 (Public -Semipublic
- Oil Production. Overlay — Coastal Zone Overlay - Floodplain Overlay) and from IL-CZ-FP2
(Limited Industrial Coastal Zone Overlay- Floodplain Overlay) to PS-CZ-FP2 (Public —
Semipublic — Coastal Zone Overlay — Floodplain Overlay) to conform to the existing General
Plan designation of P (Public)
is consistent with goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan because it supports
development in accordance with the land uses depicted in the Land Use Plan Map. It will
also further goals, policies, and objectives that pertain to achievement and maintenance of a
variety of land uses that support the religious, educational, and institutional needs of
residents and businesses in Huntington Beach.
2. In the case of a general land use provision, the zoning map amendment is compatible with the
uses authorized in and the standards prescribed for the zoning district for which it is proposed.
This amendment would change the land use designation rather than a general land use
provision. Future development will be compatible with the development standards.
3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed. With the adoption of the General
Plan in 1996, the community as a whole determined a need to modify land use designations to
accurately reflect the use on a property. The Zoning Map Amendment will allow the zoning
designations on the subject properties to conform to the General Plan. It will also permit the
existing uses on the subject site to continue to provide services which have been offered to
residents and businesses in the community.
4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning
practice. The subject sites are presently designated on the General Plan; the proposed
rezoning action will bring each site into conformity with the current General Plan designation.
(14) November 18, 2002 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 14
5. The City Council finds that Zoning Map Amendment No. 02-02 is covered within the scope of
Environmental Impact Report No. 94-1 prepared for the 1996 General Plan update which was
certified by the City Council on May 13, 1996 and that no further environmental review is
required.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL — LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO. 02-03
1. Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 02-03 to the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program
in accordance with Zoning Map Amendment No. 02-02 for Subareas C (AES Generating
Station) and D (Edison Tanks) is consistent with the General Plan designations.
2. Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 02-03 is in accordance with the policies, standards and
provisions of the California Coastal Act because it will allow the zoning designations of the
Subareas C and D to be consistent with the land use plan in the certified Coastal Element.
3. The development conforms to the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of
the California Coastal Act because the request is only a Zoning Map Amendment which does
not impact public access and public recreational opportunities.
