SECTION 4. That the section entitled"Goldenwest Street to Sixth Street" of
Page 122 of the Coastal Element of the Huntington Beach General Plan is hereby amended
to read as follows:
GOLDENWEST STREET TO SIXTH STREET
This area is comprised of 17 blocks along the inland side of Pacific Coast
Highway, The entire 52.5 gross acre area was previously designated high
density residential in the General Plan, however, the lots facing pacific
Coast Highway are commercially zoned. Development in this area has
been confined primarily to the residentially zoned lots, with much of the
ocean-facing highway frontage remaining vacant.
As a means of discouraging undesirable strip commercial development
along Pacific Coast Highway, the coastal land use plan designates the
majority of the area as residential with three nodes for visitor-serving
commercial development --two half blocks between Goldenwest and
Twenty-first Streets, two half blocks between Eighteenth and Sixteenth
Streets, and three half blocks between Ninth Street and Sixth Street.
The remaining area along Pacific Coast Highway has been designated high
density residential with height limit of three stories. Within this area, a base
density of 15 units per acre is assumed, with increases up to a maximum of
30 units per acre on a fully consolidated block. Development of the
residential blocks is intended to be regulated by a specific plan, which will
specify parking, open space, and setback requirements and variable lot area
ratios to encourage property consolidation.
SECTION 5. That the section entitled"Sixth Street to Lake Street" on Page 124
of the Coastal Element of the Huntington Beach General Plan is hereby amended as
follows:
A. The title is changed to "SIXTH STREET TO FIRST STREET."
B_ The fifth paragraph of this section is to read as follows:
A maximum four story height limit has been applied to the entire Sixth to
First Street area as a means of encouraging the provision of amneities and
recycling of existing uses, as well as allowing the possibility for vertical
mixed uses within individual developments and providing opportunity for
ocean views.
SECTION 6. That the second paragraph on Page 126 of the Coastal Element of
the Huntington Beach General Plan is hereby amended to read as follows:

41sWcp3-94/4/4195
The 62 acre area located between Delaware Street and Beach Boulevard is
owned by the City of Huntington Beach and leased to the Huntington
Beach Inn and Driftwood Mobile Home Park and Golf Course. The
northern half of this site is designated for residential uses. The rest of this
area has been designated as commerical/support recreation to reflect
existing uses and as a potential future site of a major
commercial/recreational development to compliment the City Beach.
(No further changes, rest of section remains as is)
SECTION 7. That the last paragraph on Page 130a of the Coastal Element of the
Huntington Beach General Plan is hereby amended to read as follows
The Municipal Pier and adjoining restaurant are designated as Mixed
Development in the existing General Plan. The Pier functions primarily as
a visitor-serving facility and provides a focal point for the Downtown/Main
Street Corridor; thus, the Pier and adjoining restaurant have been
redesignated Visitor-Serving Commercial. This District is intended to
provide for commercial uses on and alongside the pier which will enhance
and expand the public's use and enjoyment of this area. Uses are
encouraged which capitalize on the views available from the pier and the
unique recreational or educational opportunities it affords. At the same
time, care must be exercised to insure that the major portion of the pier will
remain accessible to the public at no charge, for strolling, fishing or
observation. New buildings on the pier shall not exceed one story and 25
feet, excluding the end of pier cafe. Public access shall be required around
the entire perimeter of the pier.
