WHEREAS; the Bolsa Chica is surrounded by the city of
Huntington Beach and within such city 's sphere of influence; and
The ultimate land use in the Bolsa Chica is of great con-
cern to Huntington Beach. The City of Huntington Beach , in the
spirit of cooperation , has been working with the County of
Orange , the lead agency for the unincorporated area of the
Bolsa Chica , and other interested parties to search for solu-
tions to problem areas; and
Such cooperative planning efforts for the Bolsa Chica
should be continued until issues of concern of all parties have
been resolved,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach that it respectfully requests the
Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange to consider the
following issues with respect to the Bolsa Chica Land Use Plan:
1 . Circulation
(a ) The cross-gap connector shall allow fo
r tie-in of
Springdale Street, Graham Street , and Talbert Avenue .
(b ) The cross-gap connector shall be a secondary
arterial (preferably eighty (80) feet wide while allowing for
g Y ) g
a landscaped median .
(c ) The circulation pattern shall be designed to
Pa gn
encourage southbound traffic to utilize Warner Avenue en route
to Pacific Coast Hi ghway.
1 .
(d ) Sufficient distance (a minimum of 750 to 950
feet ) shall be provided between the cross-gap connector and
existing residential properties in order to complete the local
street system through the use of cul-de-sacs and , in addition,
to allow for proper development of low-density residential
properties which would be compatible with existing development
bordering the cross-gap connector .
(e) The Pacific Coast Highway "mini reroute " shall
provide for adequate , 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 .
(f) Through traffic shall be routed to prevent impact
on existing city arterial systems .
2. Service Delivery
(a ) Planned circulation for the area shall maintain
access for Warner Avenue Fire Station or provide an alternative
site if the present access is not feasible or desirable.
(b) A water supply service and sanitation facilities
for the proposed Bolsa Chica development shall be considered so
that costs and ongoing maintenance requirements can be reduced
to an absolute minimum.
(c ) Due regard for cost-benefit ratios is fundamental
to this development
3 . Ocean Entrance
(a ) The city supports the Coastal Commission 's
suggested modifications for the ocean entrance , as adopted on
November 17 , 1984; or other language which is equally or more
protective against beach erosion if agreed upon by the
I
California Coastal Commission , the County of Orange , and the
City of Huntington Beach .
(b ) Any ocean cut of the Bolsa Chica State Beach
shall be done only after comprehensive physical modeling by the
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to determine the impact on the
sandy beach. The city would favor such ocean cut only if the
designs indicate little or no effect on the sandy beach and
other coastal resources . Ways and means to finance any
required sand replenishment program shall be provided. The
City of Huntington Beach shall not be obligated to bear any
part of the cost for the ocean cut, sand replenishment, or
channel maintenance .
2.
4. Huntington Harbour Connection
The city supports the creation of a navigable
connection between Huntington Harbour and the Bolsa Chica
Marina as an alternative boating outlet . Such alternative
outlet is supported because Anaheim Bay is owned and used by
the United States Naval Weapons Station , resulting in possible
limitations on the use thereof. The general fund of the City
of Huntington Beach shall not be used to finance such navigable
connection .
5 . Wetlands
(a ) The City of Huntington Beach favors wetlands
restoration and open-space development to the fullest extent
possible . Special attention shall be directed toward the
extreme northeastern tip of the Bolsa Chica inasmuch as this
area may create nuisances for existing residential development
stemming from odors , insects , etc .
(b ) All wetlands restoration shall be within the
bounds of the project area .
6 . Seismic Sa fe ty
Extreme concern shall be given to seismic conditions .-
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
