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 Main-Pier 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 peen 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 Main-Pier Redevelopment Project Area are described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto. The area is further illustrated in Exhibit "B" attached hereto. 3.0 GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED LAND USES Proposed land uses for the Project Area include: Commercial: Principal uses would include visitor-serving, commercial and office uses. Residential: Principal uses, would include medium to high density residential uses including condominium development. Community Facilities: Civic and street and highway uses will be constructed and improved when feasible. Permitted land uses within the Project Area will be those uses as shall be illus- trated from time to time in the Coastal Land Use 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 Coastal Land Use 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 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 Specific Plan and 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- h 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 public 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 Main-Pier 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. -3- 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 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 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. 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 have eliminated the blighting influences in the Project Area. � A -4- • Exhibit "A" LEGAL DESCRIPTION MAIN-PIER REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA Beginning at the intersection of the northerly line at Walnut Avenue and the westerly line of Sixth Street as shown on a map of Huntington Beach recorded in book 3, page 36 of Miscellaneous Maps in the office of the Orange County Recorder; thence southwesterly along said westerly right-of-way of Sixth Street and its extension to the High Tide Line of the Pacific Ocean; thence southeasterly along said High Tide Line to a line parallel with and 35.00 feet northwesterly, measured at right angles, from the northwesterly line of Main Street as shown on said Map of Huntington Beach; thence southwesterly along said line 1470 feet more or less to a perpendicular line parallel with and 60.00 feet southwesterly, measured at right angles, from the southwesterly end of the Huntington Beach Municipal Pier; thence southeasterly along said line 145.00 feet to a line parallel with and 35.00 feet southeasterly from the southeasterly line of said Main Street; thence northeasterly along said line to the High Tide Line of the Pacific Ocean; thence southeasterly along said High Tide Line to the southwesterly extension of the southeasterly line of Lake Street (formerly First Street) as shown on said map at Huntington Beach; thence northeasterly along said extension and the southeasterly line of Lake Street to the southerly extension of the easterly line of said Walnut Avenue; thence northerly and northwesterly along the easterly and northerly line of Walnut Avenue to the point of beginning. -5- ■�T�7_C>�7 lii>t I!�1'i it ■ owl W t- .T/7 AW" WALwr _ N 17 W.
