POLICY FOR INTERIM PROCEDURES A14D GUIDELINES
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTS (E . I .R. )
PURPOSE
The purpose of requiring an environmental impact report (short or
long form) is to provide the City of Huntington Beach an opportunity
to assess the environmental (physical , ecological , social , economic ,
etc. ) impact of a proposed public or private project pursuant to
the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 .
INTENT
This document establishes procedures and guidelines for submittal
of environmental impact reports and evaluations . These guidelines
and procedures are designed to assist the city in:
1 . Setting forth the criteria to determine what projects require
the submittal of an environmental impact report.
2 . Providing a basis for evaluating the impact of any new public
or private project proposed in the city of Huntington Beach .
3 . Establishing the procedures for submittal and review of
environmental impact reports and evaluation.
4 . Establishing guidelines on what is to be included in an
environmental impact report .
The procedures and guidelines delineated in the following sections
are consistent with and an implementation of the legislative intent
of the N. E. P.A. (National Environmental Policy Act of 1969) , and the
E.Q.A. (California Environmental. Quality Act of 1970) , and the
recent legal interpretations set forth by the California State
Supreme Court.
WHAT PROJECTS REQUIRE AN E. I .R. ?
The court holds that a city is required, prior to issuing a permit
for any public or private project , to determine first , whether such
project or activity "may have a significant effect on the environ-
ment . " If it can be said that such project or activity has such an
effect , the public permit issuing agency must prepare an Environ-
mental Impact Report.
An E . I . R. short form, full report or exemption declaration is
required for any project requiring a permit or other entitlement
for use issued by the City of Huntington Beach .
F r
PROCEDURE FOR SUBMITTAI, ANT) RI VII:W
I
A. Submittal - The following procedural steps are suggested for
implementation of any project affected by permit or entitlement
11-13-72
L
actions required by the City of Huntington Beach. These steps
will determine the applicability of either an exemption declara-
tion or an environmental impact report .
1 . Submission of Project Description.
This is accomplished by completion of an Interim Short Farm
E. I . R. obtained from either the Building, Planning or
Public Works Departments . This action directly answers the
basic question as to whether the project has a significant
environmental impact. The applicant should expect action
on the form within 10 days from date of filing .
2 . Exemption Declaration Form.
Upon completion and review of the above , an Exemption
Declaration Form may be filed on the project by the E. I .R.
Review Committee . (See the following "review" procedure . )
The applicant will receive a copy of this form showing
environmental disposition of the project within 10 days from
date of filing.
B. Review - The E. I .R. Review Committee , composed of the Directors
of Planning , Building and Safety, Public Works and Environmental
Resources or appointed designees will examine all projects
requiring completion of the Short Form E. I .R. to determine
whether the environmental impact will be of such a significance
as to require an environmental impact report . In making this
determination , the committee shall use the Interim Environmental
Impact Report Outline and will make one or two findings as
follows :
1 . That the impact on the environment is not significant .
2 . That the proposed project may have a significant effect on
the environment and that an Exemption Declaration cannot
be granted for this project because it cannot be mitigated
or suitable alternatives have not been offered. An E. I . R.
is therefore required to be submitted prior to the project ' s
approval .
The committee will insure that the Short Form E . I .R. , Exemption
Declaration, or E. I . R. will be processed concurrently with the
permit application to which the form pertains . When a public
hearing is required for the application, the notice shall include
a reference to the E. I .R. Concurrently , the committee will make
available all Exemption Declarations and E . I .R. s on a weekly
basis in the office of the City Clerk for purposes of public
review and input . A list of such Exemption Declarations and
E. I . R. s will be available for public inspection in the office
of the City Clerk . The public will be afforded ten days for
review and input prior to consideration of the declaration or
report for approval .
PREPARATION AND CONTENTS OF E . I .R.
The City is responsible for the preparation of E. I .R. and a final
determination of environmental effect within 30 days of the date
-3-
upon which a permit was requested. The department that is most
closely connected with the permit request should prepare the report
to coincide with filing of plans and submit the E. I .R. to the
Review Committee for disposition. The Director of Environmental
Resources will act as staff for the Review Committee .
The applicant may be required to submit and prepare an environmental
impact study including background information and data required by
the department or committee . The city shall prepare the E. I .R. and,
in connection therewith, may have the necessary information prepared
by a qualified consultant . All the costs of preparation of the
E. I .R. including consultants shall be borne by the applicant . City
may also receive inputs from other appropriate sources , public and
private .
As to content , listing of the mandatory elements of an environmental
impact report is contained in Section 21100 of the Environmental
Quality Act of 1970 . The report , pursuant to the Act , must contain
a detailed statement setting forth the following :
I . The environmental impact of the proposed action.
2 . Any adverse environmental effects which cannot be avoided if
the proposal is implemented.
3. Mitigation measures proposed to minimize the impact.
4 . Alternatives to the proposed action.
S . The relationship between local short-term uses of man' s environ-
ment and the maintenance and enhancement of long-term productivity.
6 . Any irreversible environmental changes which would be involved
in the proposed action should be implemented.
Chapter 971 of the Laws of 1972 , which is not yet effective , has
added two additional mandatory elements for inclusion in impact
reports . They are as follows :
7 . The growth-inducing impact of the proposed action.
8 . The boundaries of the area which may be significantly affected
by the proposed action.
It is suggested that these additional. elements be included in
environmental impact reports in order to eliminate the necessity
of revising reports which arc formally considered by the City after
Chapter 971 ' s effective date . "This policy supercedes the October
2 , 1972 , minute action of City Council on same subject .
The following; attachments reflect the forms and outlines necessary
for completing environmental impact procedures :

PROJECT TITLE/DESCRIPTION:
PROJECT LOCATION/ADDRESS :
In accordance with City of Huntington Beach policies regarding imple-
mentation of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (speci-
fically Section 21151 of the Public Resources Code) , the E. I .R. Review
Committee has reviewed the Interim Short Form Environmental Impact
Report material submitted in request for Exemption Declaration status
for the above described project and hereby recommends : (check one)
f� 1 . That the request for Exemption Declaration status submitted is insuffi-
cient to facilitate a decision as to the environmental significance of
this project and the project sponsor is therefore requested to resubmit
a more thorough Environmental Short Form covering the following informa-
tion:
n 2 . That the proposed projectmay have a significant effect on the environ-
ment and has not been covered adequately in a previously approved request
for exemption declaration status . Exemption declaration status therefore
cannot be granted for this project and an environmental impact study is
thereby required to be submitted to this department and the City shall
prepare an Environmental Impact Report prior to the project' s approval .
The significant environmental impacts which may result from this project
include- -but may not be limited to- -the following :
ii 13 . That the proposed project cannot , or will not , have a significant effect
on the environment . Exemption Declaration status is therefore granted
for this project and the submittal of an environmental impact study is
thereby not necessary.
04 . That even though the proposed project may have a significant effect on
the environment , the project is a lesser included part of another
project which has previously been exempted or for which an Environmental
Impact Report has previously been prepared, provided that the project
and Environmental Impact Report were approved and covers the specific
environmental impacts of the lesser project . (In this case, the project
and statement should he noted. )
S . That even though the proposed project is a part of a larger existing
established use of land which may have or has had a significant affect
on the environment , the proposed project , when considered alone ,
contributes an insignificant impact on the environment therefore
Exemption Declaration status is granted.

OUTL INI:
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY
In limited cases , some components of this outline may not be
applicable , but in general most projects will involve most , if
not all , of these questions . If not applicable , they should be
mentioned as such , otherwise an explanation of probable impact
must be made .
A. Authority Agency.
This paragraph answers the basic questions as to who is the
author of the environmental impact study, what specific govern-
mental action requires its preparation, and the background and
expertise of the people involved. Also to be included is a
brief summary of the data collection technique and sources
utilized. Estimates should be made r_s to the reliability of
the facts presented,
B . Description of Project Area.
This summarizes the general locale of the project , its surrounding
area , and a legal description so orientation of the reader or
reviewer is guaranteed.
C . What is the Description and Purpose of the Project?
Section C is to be a thorough analysis of the specific project
site , its current and historical uses physical and biotic assets ,
and the proposed action to be undertaken. A complete explanation
of the processes and eventual outcome of the project should be
provided. The purpose of the project should also be presented.
D. Possible Impact Upon Existing Natural Systems .
This presents evaluations of the impact the project will have on
the site and its existing natural systems , plus provide a summary
of background information on which the evaluations were based.
This impact can be beneficial , detrimental , or non-existent , as
applied to each case . In each of the specific cases , both the
long and short range implications should be discussed.
E. Possible Impact Upon Man-Made Facilities .
This answers questions as to any required alterations , expansions ,
or curtailments of existing services provided by government and/or
local utility concerns , due to the project . Any possible land,
11-13- 72
- 2-
use changes in the area which may result or flow from the
project should be analyzed . Fvaluat _ons of any change in the
costs of ptiblis service as a result of these actions or changes
shoo l d I,c 111ade .
F . Possible Impact on tlic .Social Filvi r•oruucnt .
This should include an evaluation of the effects of the project
on the social and cultural environment of the project area. The
questions listed should be evaluated plus any social impact not
covered in the checklist, but which might occur if the project
is initiated. Special efforts should be made to explain how the
Social Environment will change .
G. Are There Possible Adverse Environmental Impacts Which Cannot
Be Avoided?
This section should list all impacts that are unavoidable and
why .
H. What Effects Will Proposed Construction have on the Area?
Construction Impacts are a particular problem with projects ,
and they should be presented in this section.
1 What Mitigation Measures are Proposed?
Mitigation measures should be thoroughly discussed. Considera-
tion of mitigation measures in project planning should include
consideration of not only those mitigating activities as might
be accomplished by the person undertaking the project, but also
those mitigating activities that might be undertaken jointly
with other persons or governmental agencies .
J. -What Environmental Monitoring Programs Are Needed?
"Environmental Monitoring" is a desirable goal to insure guide-
lines are adhered to wherever possible , for those projects which
are capable of producing undue or uncalled for environmental
degradation. This section should present a thorough discussion
on what efforts of monitoring will be made and by whom.
K. What Alternatives Iixist to the Proposed Project?
Discuss what alternative actions could be taken or should be
considered, including; no project. Alternatives should be
within the realm of feasibility although they need not necessarily
be feasible or acceptable to the persons or governmental agencies
who propose to carry out the project . Consideration should also
be given to feasible alternatives that require the cooperation or
participation of other persons , the City of Huntington Beach, or
other governmental entities . This topic should not just be a
justification discussion for the proposed project .
L . What Are the Impacts of Lach Alternative Considered?
Each feasible alternative should receive essentially the 'same
environmental consideration as is giT-en to the project and
the impact produced by each alternative should be analyzed.
If "no project is listed as an alternative , the environmental
impact of not undertaking the project should also be thoroughly
discussed.
T�. What is the Growth- Inducing Impact of the Proposed Action?
The "growth-inducing" impact. of .the proposed project and the
neighborhood or community as a whole should be considered.
If the project is proposed to provide or result in a capacity
for public services or private activities which are growth
inducing, beyond existing needs in the immediate area or
community as a whole at the time of such construction, the
impact and any possible adverse consequences of such a project
must also be considered in the report
N. What are the Boundaries of the Impact Area?
Attempts should be made to give a specific description of the
impact area and the extent in matters of degree to which
various portions of the impact area will be affected by the
project .
0. What Comments have Been ?fade by the Public?
Any comments made by individuals , private companies , citizen
groups , local , regional , state , and federal agencies concerning
the project must be evaluated in this section. flow these
comments have been considered in the proposed project should
be included.
P. What Are the Restrictions on Land Use?
List any existing restrictions on land use within the project
area which relate to environmental concerns (such as floodplains`
or wildlife habitat) . If restrictions on the land use component
or design of the project have been requested by some groups or
agency, and have not been implemented in the proposed project
design, an explanation should be made .
