1.
County of Orange and the Coastal Conservancy address the fol-
lowing concerns of the City of Huntington Beach relating to modi-
fications to the Land Use Plan and the Habitat Conservation Plan
for the Bolsa Chica:
1. CIRCULATION
(a) Realign Edwards Street and connect with Pacific
Coast Highway within the Bolsa Chica planned area.
(b) Align cross-gap connector so that it will not have
a negative impact on the existing residential units.
(c) Connect Talbert Avenue to cross-gap connector.
(d) Realign Warner Avenue to allow for sufficient
grade for a minimum twenty-five (25) foot bridge and to maintain
access for the Warner Avenue Fire Station, as indicated in
No. 2 (a) hereof.
(e) Connect the cross-gap connector and Warner Avenue
to provide convenient circulation to the proposed commercial uses.
(f) Existing local street system to be accommodated by
providing for similar adjoining land uses and for adequate neigh-
borhood circulation.
Provide for Bolsa Chica Street (cross-gap) connec-
tion g p
tion to Garfield Avenue.
(h) Address the following concerns created by the pro-
posal to reroute Pacific Coast Highway: ,
(1) High projected daily traffic volumes on
Pacific Coast Highway, particularly between Bolsa Chica
Street and Garfield Avenue.
(2 ) High projected intersection traffic volumes
at Pacific Coast Highway/Bolsa Chica Street and Pacific
Coast Highway/Garfield Avenue .
(3) Vehicle miles travelled, safety and level
of service impacts on rerouted Pacific Coast Highway
through traffic (Pacific Coast Highway functions as a
regional highway) .
(4) Penetration of through traffic into existing
city arterial system.
2 .
(5) Disruption of a scenic, coastal access and
regional highway which satisfies motorists' desires to
travel within view of the ocean.
These concerns need to be considered and mitigation mea-
sures provided to eliminate negative impacts on the travelling
public and the citizens of Huntington Beach.
(i) Balsa Chica development on the Bolsa Chica Mesa
should be planned in a way that results in minimal direct
access off Warner Avenue .
2. SERVICE DELIVERY
(a) Planned circulation for the area needs to main-
tain access for the Warner Avenue Fire Station or provide for
an alternate site if such access is not feasible or desirable ,
(b) Consideration should be given to service of the
proposed development with water supply and sanitation facilities
in order to minimize costs and ongoing maintenance requirements.
(c ) Due regard for cost-benefit ratios is fundamental
to this development ,
3. LAND USE PLANNING
It is critical that all proposed land uses as to type
and density should be compatible with existing land uses within
the city.
4. OCEAN ACCESS
There are three primary concerns regarding the proposed
ocean access which need to be addressed. They are : safety,
preservation of the beach, and ongoing maintenance costs.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
