1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Preliminary Plan for the proposed Yorktown-Lake Redevelopment Project was
prepared in with the California Community =Redevelopment Law which
requires preparation of such a plan as the basis for subsequent development of
a more definitive plan for redevelopment within a designated Project Area.
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 Yorktown--Lake 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 -8each
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 Oode, 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, rend 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 sutrounding nelghborhood(s).
2.0 PROJECT AREA BOUNDARIES

described. in Exhibit "A" attached hereto. The area is further illustrated in

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 ordinance
of the City.
4.0 GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED LAYOUT OF PRINCIPAL STREETS

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.
. 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 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 RESIDENT§ LOCATED WITHIN. THE PR0,3ECT
AREA AND N THE SURROUNDING
The City's objective in pursuing the Yorktown-Lake 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 the 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.

i
This impact 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
I 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 be negative, its long-term impact is expected to be positive in that
relocation will afford businesses in the Project Area a unique
opportunity to move to a more desirable location of their choice with little
I 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.
During the short-term construction period, it is possible that the existing
neighborhoods 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
neighborhoods will result with the construction of modern and well designed
development which will nave eliminated the blighting influences in the Project
Area.
