Element
Scott Hess, Director of Planning and Building, informed Council that the City sent notices to properties
within 500 feet of each of the proposed sites identified for affordable housing He also introduced
Planning Manager Jennifer Villasenor who provided a PowerPoint presentation dated September 8,
2015, entitled Huntington Beach Housing Element Amendment, that included the following titled slides
Site Capacity Analysis (Oct 'l3 vs Jun '15), Housing Element Amendment Approach, Potential Sites
Analysis, Site Requirements, Preliminary List of Qualifying Sites, Sites A & B Delaware and Florida,
Site C Cameron (south of Slater), Site D Beach and Yorktown, Site E Beach and Main, Site F
Beach and Stark, Potential Capacity, Other Housing Element Program Changes, and Next Steps
Councilmember Peterson voiced concerns about staff's reported number of affordable units, and
Manager Villasenor described what is included in that total Manager Villasenor explained how the
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) developed the number of Regional Housing
Needs Assessment (RHNA) units for each jurisdiction in 2012 for the 2013 — 2021 planning period, and
how the City must comply with housing element law for each cycle
Councilmember Peterson and Manager Villasenor discussed parking requirements affected by requests
for a density bonus Manager Villasenor explained how the state requires the City to analyze parking
requirements and demonstrate whether or not they are a constraint to the provision of housing in the
City — in other words, they must be reasonable If parking is a constraint, the City must include a
program to eliminate the constraint Mayor Hardy questioned whether a parking concession could be
restricted to projects for low to moderate housing units Councilmember Peterson suggested that
something be written that allows concessions for only those projects considered one hundred percent
affordable
Councilmember Peterson reiterated his impression that the City has met its affordable housing
requirements Manager Villasenor discussed site capacity, RHNA targets and actual building permits
issued in 2014, breaking down the number of budding permits in 2014 for units considered very low,
low, moderate, and above moderate, and how the City has not yet met the RHNA requirements for
lower income categories
Mayor Hardy and Manager Villasenor discussed counting existing housing units not officially declared
low income, and Manager Villasenor explained the Committed Assistance Program designed to
change/convert market rate for existing units, but that the program was included in the previous
Council/PFA Regular Minutes

Housing Element cycle and could not be used to accommodate the RHNA shortfall
Councilmember Sullivan went on record to declare that he had never spoken with Mr Van Dyke who
spoke in opposition to considering Site E, and concurred with the speaker He held a discussion with
Manager Villasenor about a non —profit's plans to build very low income units at that location
Mayor Hardy expressed a similar opinion of Site E, informing her colleagues of previous issues brought
before the Council on that site, including, but not limited to its shape and ingress/egress problems
Councilmember Posey and Manager Villasenor discussed consequences should the City not meet its
RHNA numbers, including being ineligible for types of state and federal funding, no longer presumed to
have a legal Housing Element, no longer consistent with the City's General Plan, and legal matters
preventing the City from issuing building permits Manager Villasenor also explained the process of
developing a Maximum Amount of New Development (MAND) applicable only to each opportunity site
Mayor Hardy and Manager Villasenor discussed sites with zoning that provided credit/was presumed to
build affordable units that did not actually occur, and how un-accommodated RHNA is folded into the
next Housing Element analysis Discussion ensued about the City conditioning opportunity sites to
build 100% very low to low income
Director Hess discussed recycling property to meet future requirements, how sites offer credit but the
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) does not dictate the market
Councilmember Delgleize and Director Hess discussed mixed use zoning where at least 50% of
development is residential Manager Villasenor described actions that occur during the housing cycle
Mayor Pro Tem Katapodis voiced concerns about what happens when the City is built out Manager
Villasenor explained that HCD is in the process of reforming the RHNA process, and changes may be
proposed for housing element law
Councilmember Peterson and Manager Villasenor discussed how population growth is used to
formulate affordable housing numbers for purposes of RHNA allocation
The Council indicated their support/opposition to Items A-E on the Preliminary List of Qualifying Sites
as follows
• Mayor Hardy voiced opposition to Sites C, D, and E
• Councilmember Peterson suggested looking at other areas outside of the Specific Plan area,
and had concerns about Site B due to incompatibility
• Councilmember Delgleize spoke in favor of Sites A, B, C and F
• Councilmember Sullivan only objected to Site E
• Mayor Pro Tem Katapodis objected to Site F
• Councilmember Posey supported Sites A, B and F
• Mayor Hardy indicated that Site B is adjacent to the two tallest residential towers in the City and
disagreed with Councilmember Peterson that residential is an incompatible use

expressing his concerns about Site B

Councilmember Peterson pulled the item to clarify 9 (E) and stated that he is not in support of
increasing Police Department staff using "one-time funds" or funds that don't come in regularly from

assignment to work DUls This grant has been awarded six out of the last ten years, and this is a way
to get one more position into the funded category in the budget It takes a year (6 months in Academy
and 6 months in training) before an officer is on the street solo Because of the way the grant is
worded, any extra funds become salary savings which can be used with overtime or other areas that
may be over budget If there is any attrition in the next year, the new hire would be moved into that
position

Councilmember O'Connell asked if Chief Handy felt that 221 Sworn Officers in the Police Department
table of organization was enough Chief Handy responded it was a step in the right direction As
discussed in a staff Study Session several months ago, the plan is to move ahead with incremental
staff increases to eventually get back up towards 237 Officers again
Councilmember O'Connell and Director Farrell discussed how to capture/record funds (sales tax, etc )
received from daily visitors who do not stay overnight
Councilmember Posey and Director Farrell discussed the process of hiring Police Officers to fill a
retired position, use of STEP grant funds, and use of increased parking meter revenue and whether or
not increasing the parking fee would divert visitors
Councilmember Peterson and Director Farrell discussed the process of transferring desk positions in
the Police Department to the field
Councilmember Peterson voiced opposition to charging for parking between the hours of 6 00 PM and
8 00 AM, and thought proposed revenue to pay for new officers should be more secure than parking
fees that can change

increasing the number of spaces, and costs during the non -camping season

Council/PFA Regular Minutes

Page 14 of 16
Kim Carr, Chair of the Public Works Commission, described the extensive analysis of the Commission
in determining that expanding Sunset Vista to the proposed 60 spaces (an increase of 14 spaces) was
not in the best interests of the residents The Commission did provide a compromise solution which
would keep the north part of the parking lot open for the residents, visitors and surfers The
compromise recommended by the Public Works Commission allows for 6 more spaces for Sunset
Vista (01 39 35)
With no one else present to speak, the public hearing was closed by Mayor Hardy
Mayor Hardy voiced support for the compromise of adding 6 more spaces for Sunset Vista, as well as
increasing the citation fee for smoking on the beach, and increased meter parking rates
Councilmember Sullivan voiced his opposition to raising the citation fee for smoking on the beach
Chief Handy shared that a warning is usually provided for smoking on the beach or skateboarding
Citations are only issued when multiple warnings have been ignored
Mayor Pro Tern Katapodis stated his support for increasing police staff to be proactive in keeping
Huntington Beach a safe city
Councilmember Posey asked for a "guesstimate" on the crime reduction percentage to be expected
with increasing the number of officers Chief Handy responded that it is impossible to project a number
for expected crime reduction based on adding X number of officers Adding resources will help in
identifying the more serious offenders The crime pendulum swings back and forth and is affected by
things like the "3 Strikes" legislation Councilmember Posey asked if adding officers would cut overtime
costs, and if more vehicles (cars or motorcycles) will be required with added staff Chief Handy replied
that if more motorcycle officers are hired, there would be a need for more motorcycles Currently there
are enough patrol cars Adding staff positions would relieve those who are putting in overtime
Councilmember Delgleize and Chief Handy discussed devoting an officer to police the homeless on the
streets and in city parks, and the number of individuals arrested who possess serious crime warrants
The current trend coming from the federal, state and county levels of the criminal justice system is to
release, reduce sentences and decriminalize certain drugs — all of which impact the situation
Mayor Pro Tern Katapodis asked City Manager Wilson to bring back the fee increase issues at the next
meeting
