A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON
BEACH ADOPTING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
FOR THE BOLSA CHICA LAND USE PLAN
I
F
WHEREAS, it has taken many years study to prepare a General
Land Use Plan for the Bolsa Chica; and
Numerous parties, both public and private, have made
contributions to said plan; and
The city staff has diligently studied all alternatives so
as to best serve the long term interests of the citizens of
this area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
Bolsa Chica Avenue shall be extended to Garfield Avenue at
the minimum width necessary to safely and efficiently handle
traffic, preferably 80 feet, and shall be designed to encourage
l
southbound traffic to utilize Warner Avenue enroute to Pacific
Coast Highway. The extension of Bolsa Chica , Avenue shall
connect with a new connecting street to Pacific Coast Highway
and such connecting street shall, in turn, be connected to
Warner Avenue. In a similar manner, Garfield Avenue shall have
a connecting street via an extension of Edwards and 38th Street
with Pacific Coast Highway. The extension of Bolsa Chica
Street to Garfield Avenue shall allow the tie-in of Springdale,
Talbert, and Graham.
Sufficient distance shall be provided (a minimum of 800
feet) between the Bolsa Chica Street extension and existing
residential properties in order to complete the local street
systems through cul-de-sacs and, in addition, to allow for
proper development of low density residential properties which
would border the Bolsa Chica Street extension and be compatible
with existing development. All street construction shall be
performed under standard City of Huntington Beach development
requirements, as depicted in Exhibit A.
Any reroute of Pacific Coast Highway shall be limited to
the "mini reroute" and shall provide for adequate and
satisfactory access for the city' s Warner Street Fire Station.
The City of Huntington Beach shall have no financial obligation
for any Pacific Coast Highway reroute.
A navigable connection between Huntington Harbour and the
Bolsa Chica Marina is favored to allow for needed improvement
of water quality in Huntington Harbour and as an alternate
boating outlet. This alternate outlet is needed due to
possible limitations on the use of Anaheim Bay, which is
primarily for the U.S. Navy Weapons Station. The City of
Huntington Beach shall not have any significant financial
obligations through general funds for such navigable connection.
Any ocean cut of the Bolsa Chica State Beach should be done
only after comprehensive modeling to determine the impacts on
the sandy beach. Only under designs which predict no or
minimal effects does the city favor such ocean cut. Ways and
means should be required also to provide for the financing of
any required sand replenishment program. The City of
Huntington Beach shall have no financial obligation for any
ocean cut or channel maintenance.
All land uses within the Bolsa Chica shall be compatible
with existing development and appropriate transitions of zones
shall be provided adjacent to all existing zones . Due regard
shall be given to topographic features and seismic conditions
as well as for utility services.
The City of Huntington Beach favors optimizing wetlands
restoration and open-space development, but expresses concern
with regard to the viability of some of the wetlands area shown
in the extreme northeastern tip of the Bolsa Chica. Special
attention should be directed toward this area so as not to
create nuisances for existing residential development as the
result of odors, insects, etc. All wetlands restoration shall
be within the bounds of the project area.
