The aforementioned law defines "Project Area" as an area within a community which has been determined to be blighted and requiring redevelopment to effectuate the public purposes for which the California Community Redevelopment Law was designed to achieve. The proposed Oakview Neighborhood Redevelopment Project is part of an ongoing Community and Neighborhood Enhancement Program by the City of Huntington Beach to revitalize areas within the community. The Community and Neighborhood Enhancement Program will enable the City of Huntington Beach to remove and mitigate adverse conditions within the community and improve the overall economic climate. As part of the Program, the Agency is now considering redevelopment/development of selected properties located within the city. On February 1, 1982, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach designated by Resolution No. 5090 a Redevelopment Survey Area as an area that required further study to determine if a redevelopment project is feasible. Also, on February 1, 1982, the City Council directed the Planning Commission to select a Project Area from within the survey area and to formulate and adopt a Preliminary Plan for the selected Project Area. The following Preliminary Plan has been prepared pursuant to this directive. This Preliminary Plan has been prepared pursuant to the California Health and Safety Code, Section 33324, which requires the following: . A description of the boundaries of the Project Area; . A general statement of the land uses, layout of the principal streets, population densities, and building intensities and standards propsed as the basis for the redevelopment project area; • A demonstration of how the purposes of community redevelopment law would be attained by such development; • A demonstration that the proposed redevelopment conforms to the community general plan; and . A general description of the impact of the project upon residents located within the Project Area and upon surrounding neighborhood(s) . 2.0 PROJECT AREA BOUNDARIES The boundaries of the proposed Oakview Neighborhood Project Area are des- cribed in Exhibit "A" attached hereto. The area is further illustrated in Exhibit "B" attached hereto. 1 3.0 GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED LAND USES Proposed land uses for the Project Area include: Commercial : Principal uses would include general commercial and office uses. Residential : Principal uses would include medium to high density residen- tial uses, inc uding condominium development. Community Facilities: Street and alley and highway uses will be improved when feasible. Permitted land uses within the Project area will be those uses as shall be illustrated from time to time in the General Plan of the City. Specific permitted uses within the Project Area will be those that are permitted, or conditionally permitted, by the zoning ordinance contained in the Municipal Code when the zoning ordinance conforms to the General Plan. The number of dwelling units will be in accordance with the provision of the zoning ordin- ance of the City. 4.0 GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED LAYOUT OF PRINCIPAL STREETS The layout of principal streets is illustrated in Exhibit "B" of this Preliminary Plan. Street improvements will be installed as necessary and financially feasible. Certain streets may be terminated, abandoned, vacated or re-routed to accommodate specific future developments. 5.0 GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED POPULATION DENSITIES Population densities will conform to the General Plan as follows: 1-7 dwelling units per acre for Low Density Residential development; 7+-15 dwelling units per acre for Medium Density Residential development; 15+-25 units for Medium High and 25+ units for High Density. 6.0 GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED BUILDING INTENSITIES AND STANDARDS It is proposed that all permitted uses throughout the Project Area shall either meet or exceed the minimum standards stipulated in the City of Huntington Beach's current zoning ordinances, or subsequent final redevelopment plans approved and adopted by ordinance of the City Council. Standards for the Project Area shall conform to or exceed applicable federal, state and local codes, including standards for street layout, design and land subdivision. The construction of buildings shall meet or exceed the provisions of the "Uniform Building Code" as adopted by the City of Huntington Beach and other applicable codes and regulations, including the California Health and Safety Code. -2- 7.0 ATTAINMENT OF THE PURPOSES OF THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT LAW The proposed redevelopment of the Project Area is expected to attain the purposes of community redevelopment law of the State of California by: . Providing additional decent, safe and sanitary residential housing to the existing stock within the City of Huntington Beach. . Providing construction and employment opportunities in the development of these facilities and by providing employment opportunities in the operation of the proposed new commercial and office facilities. . Mitigating severe development limitations which result in the lack of proper utilization of the Project Area to such an extent that it constitutes a serious physical, social and economic burden on the community which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting alone. . Providing adequate public improvements, public facilities, open spaces and utilities which cannot be remedied by private or governmental action without redevelopment. . Implementing the construction of adequate streets, curbs, gutters, street lights, storm drains and other improvements as necessary to ensure proper vehicular and pedestrian access within and around the project area. . Establishing development criteria and controls for the permitted reuses within the Project Area in accordance with modern and competitive development practices. . Providing for relocation assistance and benefits to Project Area businesses and residences which may be displaced, in accordance with the provisions of the community redevelopment law and the government code of the State of California. 8.0 CONFORMANCE TO THE HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN The proposed redevelopment as set forth in this Preliminary Plan conforms to the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach. 9.0 GENERAL IMPACT OF THE PROJECT UPON RESIDENTS LOCATED WITHIN THE PROJECT AREA AND UPON THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS The City's objective in pursuing the Oakview Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan is to mitigate the severe development limitations that are now, and will continue to be in the future, constraints to proper utilization of the Project Area. The plan as presently envisioned will provide for a limited sale of properties and portions of properties to the Redevelopment Agency. However, if the owners of these parcels are desirous of participating in the project, owner participation arrangements will be made available. The most direct impact to businesses and property owners within the Project Area will be the displacement (except for owner participants) resulting from implementation of the Redevelopment Plan. While such displacement is expected to involve very few, if any, residences and businesses, any adverse im act will be largely attenuated with the Agency's: (1) taking deliberate steps to negotiate the purchase of properties to be acquired at fair market value; (2 initiating such negotiations as soon as practical subsequent to adoption of the Redevelopment Plan; (3) providing relocation advisory assistance and benefits to all who are displaced and are qualified for benefits; (4) ensuring ample time for purchase of property to be negotiated and sufficient time thereafter to consummate the process of relocation; and (5) keeping all concerned continuously apprised of the Agency's progress and its activities. While the impact of relocation could initially oe negative, its long-term impact is expected to be positive in that relocation will afford businesses and residents in the Project Area a unique opportunity to move to a more desirable location of their choice with little or no capital outlay necessary from personal cash resources. The impact of the project on the existing neighborhoods is also expected to be positive over the long term. Development of new residential uses will have a beneficial impact on the existing, newer and rehabilitated residential units. -- The construction of the new commercial and office ;project will provide job opportunities for neighborhood residents, help increase property values, and enhance the Beach Boulevard Commercial Corridor. The public improvements proposed for the area will enhance the residential neighborhoods considerably. During the short-term construction period, it is possible that the existing neighborhood surrounding the Project Area could experience certain negative impacts resulting from heavier truck traffic, noise and dust; however, these impacts will be mitigated by confining construction and trucking activities to daylight hours and by requiring spray watering, as necessary, to control the impact of dust. Over the long term, positive impacts to surrounding neighbor- hoods will result with the construction of modern and well designed development which will have eliminated the blighting influences in the Project Area. -4- EXHIBIT "A" LEGAL DESCRIPTION OAKVIEW AREA PROJECT Beginning at the intersection of the north line of Warner Avenue and the northerly exten- sion of the west line of Oak Lane, 60 feet in width, as shown on a map of Tract Number 368, recorded in Book 15, Page 31 of Miscellaneous Maps in the office of the Orange County Recorder; thence southerly along said northerly extension, the westerly line of said Oak Lane and its southerly extension to the north line of Tract Number 4091 recorded in Book 174, Page 10 of Miscellaneous Maps in the office of the Orange County Recorder; thence westerly along said north line to the west line of said Tract 4091; thence southerly along said west line and its southerly extension to the south line of Slater Avenue; thence easterly along said south line to the southerly extension of the easterly line of Keelson Lane as shown on a map of Tract Number 5057 recorded in Book 182, Page 6 of Miscellaneous Maps in the office of the Orange County Recorder; thence northerly along said southerly extension and the easterly line of said Keelson Lane to the easterly ex- tension of the northerly line of a 20.00 foot alley, adjacent to and southerly to Lot 3 of said Tract 5057; thence westerly along said easterly extension and the north line of said alley to the southerly extension of the easterly line of the 20.00 foot alley adja- cent to and westerly from Lots 3 through 11 of said Tract Number 5057; thence northerly along said southerly extension and easterly line of said alley to the north line of said Tract Number 5057; thence westerly along said north line to the easterly line of Queens Lane as shown on a map of Tract Number 4301, recorded in Book 177, Page 11 of Miscellaneous ps in the office of the Orange County Recorder; thence northerly north-westerly, north- erly and north-westerly along the east line of said Queens Lane to the east line of said dTract Number 4301; thence northerly along said east line to the south line of Mandrell Drive as shown on said Tract Number 4301; thence easterly, north-easterly, northerly, north-westerly and northerly along the line of Mandrell Drive which changes to Ash Lane as it turns north to the south line of Block E of Tract Number 436 recorded in Book 16, Page 28 of Miscellaneous Maps in the office of the Orange County Recorder; thence easterly along south line of Block E and Block F of said Tract Number 436 to the west line of the east 237.42 feet of Lot 5 of said Block F; thence north along said west line to the north line of said Lot 5; thence easterly along said north line to the west line of the east 217.42 feet of Lot 4 of said Block F; thence northerly along said west line and its northerly extension to the south line of Lot 1 of said Block F; thence easterly along said south line and its easterly extension to the centerline of Beach Boulevard; thence northerly along said centerline to the north line of Warner Avenue, thence westerly along said north line to the point of beginning. -5- .k Me MIM Illill NMI so I M L DEVEL PME• -ter fPACT,@ t(D:J,do:04 0 a -TUB P 1 wo .PUB 0- TUB V�OENt (g 0. nuff (D 0 i 0 A00W .,jr,. cl-cli I 25 (DI D E14 H USI N �&IA I L IT i 17 P!
