No.2000-93 Pa/m/Go/denwest Specific Plan Preface PREFACE The 150 acre site designated as Subarea 4B in the City's 1996 General Plan, consists of two major properties. The 54 acre parcel at the corner of Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street is owned by PLC Land Company. The PLC parcel is currently vacant and is being considered for development within the next two years. The other parcel fronting along Pacific Coast Highway, between Goldenwest Street and Seapoint is 96 acres and owned by Aera Energy LLC. The Aera property is currently in oil production and according to Aera Energy LLC, the property will remain in oil production for the 15 to 20 years. The first section of the Specific Plan, Chapters 1-4, relates to the PLC parcel. The second section,.Chapters 6-9, relates to the Aera parcel. The Administration chapter and the Appendices apply to both the PLC and Aera properties. Res. No.2000-93 PALM /GOLDENWEST SPECIFIC PLAN SECTION ONE PLC PROPERTY Res. No.2000-93 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan PLC Introduction 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROJECT AREA BACKGROUND The Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan is located in northwestern Huntington Beach, an area that has historically been one of California's largest oil fields. Over the past ten years many of the marginally producing oil areas have been replaced with other uses. To the north of the site is the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan area, a former oil producing area that has been replaced with residential, recreation and commercial uses. Surrounding land uses include the existing Seacliff residential community and Seacliff County Club and Surfcrest Condominiums to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the south. Southeast of Goldenwest Street are single family and multi-family residential uses which are part of an area previously known as the Townlot area. A Conceptual Master Plan("CMP") of development has been prepared in conjunction with this Specific Plan as required by the Huntington Beach General Plan. This CMP and the General Plan were shaped by the citizen participation efforts that were utilized in their formation, and provide the basis for the requirements of Subarea 4B. The CMP includes the Specific Plan Area, approximately 54 acres owned by PLC, and the approximate 96- acre oil production facility site to the southwest owned by Aera, and provides the basis for the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan. The CMP describes proposed development for the PLC site, as well as future development potential for the Aera site once oil production ceases and sets the framework for individual specific plans to be implemented. 1.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Area encompasses the 150 acre site bounded by Palm Avenue to the north, Pacific Coast Highway to the south, Goldenwest Street to the east and Seapoint Street,with approximately four acres located on the west side of Seapoint(see Exhibit 1.2-1,Vicinity Map, Exhibit 1.2-2,Location Map,and Exhibit 1.2- 3,Aerial Photograph, Exhibit 1.2-4, Proposed Zoning and Exhibit 1.2-5, Proposed General Plan). The site is a former Chevron,USA,oilfield. Oil production is no longer a use on the 54 acre PLC property,but is on-going on the 96 acre Aera property. The project area is located in the Coastal Zone boundary, as defined by the California Coastal Commission. The Huntington Beach General Plan currently designates the 150-acre site for Mixed Use-Horizontal Integration of Housing (MH),with a Specific Plan Overlay. The Palm/ Goldenwest Specific Plan Area is designated as Subarea 4B on the Huntington Beach General Plan Table LU-4,which describes the Permitted Uses, Density/Intensity, and Design and Development Standards and Principles. A copy of Table LU-4 for Subarea 4B is included as Exhibit 4-241.2-6 for reference. 1-1 August 9•2000 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan PLC Introduction The existing Local Coastal Program Land Use designation for the PLC property is Medium Density Residential and the Aera property is designated as Industrial-Oil Resource Production, but includes a visitor-serving commercial overlay for the western section of the Aera property at Pacific Coast Highway and Seapoint, as well as the eastern section at Pacific Coast Highway and Goldenwest Street. There are currently four zoning designations on-site: RH-O-CZ (High Density Residential with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays), CG-O-CZ (General Commercial with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays), IG-OI-CZ (General Industrial with Oil Production and Coastal Zone Overlays), and IG- O-CZ (General Industrial with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays). 1.3 PURPOSE AND INTENT The purpose of this Specific Plan is to establish zoning and standards for the development of the 150 acre site consistent with the City's General Plan, the Local Coastal Program, the Conceptual,Master Plan (CMP), and compatible with surrounding land uses. The Specific Plan provides consistency with the goals,policies and criteria of the City's General Plan,including policies related to land use,urban design, economic development, circulation, public facilities, especially those related to Subarea 4B provisions. The intent of the Specific Plan is to guide and coordinate the future design and development of the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Area. It provides a comprehensive description of land use, circulation, infrastructure, site development standards, and implementation programs for the preparation of detailed development proposals for City review and approval. The Specific Plan serves as the implementing actions program(zoning)for the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program and the Conceptual Master Plan. It will act as the implementing actions program for the 54-acre site owned by PLC and the 96 acres owned by Aera Energy. This Specific Plan permits the development of a residential community with up to three hundred and fifteen(315)dwelling units proposed in a mixture of single family detached homes and multi-family units on the PLC parcel and future visitor serving uses on the Aera parcel. 1-2 August 9,2000 Res.

This EIR evaluated development of the Specific Plan Area as Mixed Use -Horizontal Integration of Housing and any potential impacts from development. The Specific Plan is within the parameters of development evaluated in EIR No. 94-1, and will not create any additional environmental impacts. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared as part of the Specific Plan approval process. The Initial Study will serve as the basis on which the environmental effects of implementing the Specific Plan can be ascertained. The Initial Study indicated that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEQA compliance tool, and has been prepared as part of this Specific Plan process. A traffic study,-'noise study, air quality study, and visual analysis have also been prepared in conjunction with the CMP and this Specific Plan to further demonstrate that there are no significant impacts from the proposed Specific Plan and development. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and distributed for public review and comment. Mitigation Measures included as part of Mitigated Negative Declaration#98-8 have been incorporated in Chapter 6, Appendix B and will be included as conditions of approval on all development projects within the Specific Plan Area. All subsequent approvals necessary to develop any property within the Specific Plan Area must be consistent with the Specific Plan and be within the scope of the EIR and Mitigated Negative Declaration. Additional environmental documentation may be required in the future if significant changes are found to have occurred pursuant to Section 15162 and 15182 of the CEQA guidelines. 1.5 AUTHORITY AND SCOPE The authority to prepare,adopt, and implement specific plans is granted to the City of Huntington Beach by the California Government Code (Title 7,Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457). The Specific Plan will be the device for implementing the Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program on this property. The Plan will contain all applicable land use regulations and will thus constitute the zoning for the Palm and Goldenwest property. The Development Standards contained in this Specific Plan will take precedence over all other provisions of ' the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance,unless^*'r=:ram otherwise noted.

No.2000-93 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan PLC Development Concept 2 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT 2.1 CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT The Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan(CMP) for the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Area is illustrated on Exhibit 2.1-1 The intent of the Conceptual Master Plan is to establish general planning concepts for the entire site t- h-o ro roa tb;ough the, The General Plan for Subarea 4B specifically allows for phased Specific Plans in order to permit the near-term development of PLC's property and development of Aera's property at a later point in time as oil operations are phased out. Upon completion of a future specific plan for the Aera parcel the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan will be amended to incorporate the specific plan. Amendments to the Specific Plan will be processed as amendments�to the City's Local Coastal Program and will not take effect until certified by the California Coastal Commission. The CMP Land Use Plan illustrates that the Aera property will remain in oil production for the foreseeable future (approximately 4-0-15-20 years). The Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan proposes a variety of residential uses on the 54-acre PLC property and future visitor serving uses on the 96 acre Aera property. The land use plan for the PLC property is more fully described in this first section of the Specific Plan and Section Two of the Specific Plan details the land uses proposed for the Aera property. 2.2 LAND USE PLAN/DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT The proposed residential development for the PLC parcel contains three residential density land use categories. All uses proposed ' are consistent with the City's Local Coastal Program, General Plan and the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B, and will not deviate from any established General Plan policies and criteria. Any revisions to the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan will not take effect until an amendment is certified by the California Coastal Commission. The 54 acre PLC site is planned for a maximum of 315 dwelling units. Within the PLC parcel,the Specific Plan designates Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, and Medium High Density Residential areas with a combination of detached and attached single-and multi- family dwellings. The development concept for the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan is to provide for distinct residential neighborhoods in a well-designed private gated community. Perimeter themed landscaping will complement the adjacent Holly Seacliff project. A 3.5-acre neighborhood public park is also provided in Planning Area 4.

This is to ensure that impacts to the City's circulation system,as well as, ambient air quality and noise levels remain within the scope of impacts analyzed in the General Plan Program EIR 94-1 and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-8. Of the total trip budget,the PLC site has been allocated a maximum of 5,230 average daily trips, and the Aera parcel has been assigned a trip budget not to exceed 21,909 average daily trips. Individual parcels within the site may exchange or trade unused trip allocations, as long as the overall 2-5 August 9,2000 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan PLC Development Concept budget for the site is not exceeded, and subject to City approval. The trip budget allocations, along with the development standards of the Conceptual Master Plan, will determine the land use intensities ultimately permitted within the Specific Plan Area. The Circulation Plan, Exhibit 2.3-1, illustrates the general alignments and street classifications in and adjacent to the PLC property. Two arterial streets lay adjacent to the site, Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street. Palm Avenue, a Primary Arterial, generally bounds the site to the northeast. Goldenwest Street, a Major Arterial,bounds the site on the southeast. All vehicular access to the PLC Parcel will be from Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street. The Specific Plan proposes two points of access to the PLC Parcel. No direct residential driveway access will be permitted from either Palm Avenue or Goldenwest Street. All interior streets will be private and maintained by a homeowners association. Primary access to the PLC Parcel will be taken from Goldenwest Street opposite Orange Avenue. A sec9ndary entry is located on Palm Avenue opposite the entrance to the Seacliff Countiy Club. Each of the entries will be gated and will include enhanced landscaping and paving, and project monument signage. Within the PLC property, all interior streets serving single family detached neighborhoods will provide a 52-foot right-of way consisting of a 40 foot paved way, with six-foot sidewalks on both sides of the street with detached parkways provided along the main entry road only and detached parkways elsewhere in the project at the option of the developer.

Within the PLC portion of the Specific Plan Area,pedestrian walkways with detached sidewalks and parkways including street trees will be provided along the main entry road only and detached parkways elsewhere in the project at the option of the developer. Walkways will be linked to perimeter sidewalks along Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street at each project entry, and will also link to a meandering walkway located in the enhanced landscape area along the south side of Planning Area 2 adjoining the Aera Energy property. A master homeowners association or sub-association will maintain all pedestrian walkways within the interior of the PLC property. The City of Huntington Beach will maintain all sidewalks on the perimeter of the Specific Plan Area. 1. Palm Avenue Along the south side of Palm Avenue within Planning Areas 1 and 2, an existing six foot high block wall was constructed and landscaping installed in the late 1960's to screen oilfield uses. The setback of the existing wall varies between three and twenty feet from the existing sidewalk and right of way of Palm Avenue. Within Planning Area 4,west of the entry to Seacliff Country Club, an eight-foot high concrete panel wall exists atop a four-foot high berm. Additional planter walls and landscaping have been installed within the area between the wall and sidewalk, which varies in width from eight to eighteen feet. The proposed development plan has been designed to retain the existing pedestrian walkway,perimeter wall and landscaping within Planning Areas 1 and 2. Portions of the existing improvements will be removed at the location of the new secondary project entry opposite Seacliff Country Club, which will also include new entry landscaping and monument signs. Directly opposite Ofelia Lane, a portion of the existing wall is proposed to be removed and replaced with a six-foot high view fence adjoining an 2-11 August 9,2000 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan PLC Development Concept interior landscaped open space lot. A master homeowners association will maintain all perimeter walls and landscaping. A typical section showing the perimeter wall and landscaping within Planning Areas 1 and 2 is shown in Exhibit 2.4-3. Within Planning Area 4, adjacent to the proposed neighborhood park, the existing wall will be removed to provide visual access to the park. Adjacent to the multifamily development, the existing wall may be retained or replaced with either a new wall or tubular steel fence, similar to other multifamily perimeter fencing established along Palm Avenue. If a new solid wall is constructed, it will be set back fifteen feet from the right of way of Palm Avenue. If a tubular steel fence is used, it may be located within the fifteen foot landscaped setback with a minimum setback of five feet from right-of-way. In either condition, a minimum of fifteen .feet will be landscaped and maintained by a master homeowners -association. A typical section showing the perimeter wall and landscaping within Planning Area 4 is shown in Exhibit 2.4-3. 2. Goldenwest Street Along Goldenwest Street, a twenty-five foot wide landscape setback will be provided within Planning Areas 1 and 3. The perimeter wall will be an eight-foot high solid masonry wall. At the primary project entry opposite Orange Avenue,the wall will be angled back to allow additional entry landscaping and project monument signage. A master homeowners association will maintain all perimeter walls and landscaping. A typical section showing the perimeter wall and landscaping along Goldenwest Street within Planning Areas 1 and 3 is shown in Exhibit 2.4-4. 3. Aera Energy Edge Because of the planned long-term oil production activity on the adjacent Aera Energy site,the Specific Plan provides for additional buffer. landscaping along the southerly edge of the Specific Plan within Planning Areas 2, 3 and 4. Within Planning Area 2, a landscaped common area lot has been provided for the entire length of the street between Planning Areas 3 and 4. This landscaped area varies from 25 to 45 feet in width, and will incorporate trees, shrubs and turf in addition to a meandering pedestrian walkway.

The grading concept for the Palm/ Goldenwest Specific Plan is intended to: • Be responsive to the existing land forms; • Minimize the length of time and physical impacts of the grading operations; • Stabilize manufactured slopes; and • Avoid any unnecessary import/export of earthwork to minimize impacts of the grading operation on surrounding residential communities. Soil remediation, over-excavation, stockpiling and normal grading operations and procedures will occur within each of the individual development areas. ^' per= :. The maximum slope ratio, horizontal to vertical,will be 2:1 unless otherwise recommended by a geotechnical engineering report and approved by the City. Overall grades will be consistent with existing grades and no slopes greater than six(6) feet in height are anticipated. There shall be a smooth transition where graded slopes meet existing grades. A transition at both top and toe of slopes should also be provided. Temporary erosion and run-off-control devices shall be installed in conjunction with grading activities. Such devices shall conform to City standards. All soil remediation and grading within the Specific Plan Area will require a grading permit as well as a coastal development permit and will be governed by soils, foundation and other geotechnical reports prepared by registered professional civil and geotechnical engineers,building codes, established engineering practices and City ordinances. Preliminary grade elevations and details will be provided at the Tentative Tract Map process. Grading shall be consistent with City policies and incorporate safe grading techniques to provide for proper engineering practices and ensure proper site 1-18 Augurs 9.2000 Res.

No.2000-93 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan PLC Development Concept 2.6.4 Water Quality The City of Huntington Beach is a coastal community noted for its beaches. The beaches of Huntington Beach attract numerous people to the area. The beaches consequently support the City's economy. Tourism dollars are spent on lodging, food, recreational equipment sales, retail sales, and other tourist related commercial ventures. The well being of the City's economy is consequently dependent on maintaining quality of coastal waters. Recent closures of the beaches have had an adverse effect on the City's .economy and coastal recreational opportunities. The flow of untreated stormwater can have an adverse impact on the quality of coastal waters since storm drains eventually discharge into the ocean. Section 5.2.1 of the City's Coastal Element notes that the City can'upgrade water quality by controlling pollutants which enter coastal waters through urban runoff. Section 9.5.4 of the City's Coastal Element which contains the water and marine resource policies requires that measures be implemented to mitigate the adverse impacts of human activities on the marine environment. To protect coastal waters, the following water quality measures shall lie implemented in conjunction with any development requiring the construction of storm water drainage systems: • All new development, substantial rehabilitation, redevelopment or related activity, shall be designed and constructed in compliance with the Orange County Drainage Area Management Plan (OC DAMP) all applicable local ordinances and applicable provisions of the NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board Order No. 92-08-DWQ), and any subsequent amendments, and the Orange County NPDES Municipal Storm Water Permit issued to Orange County and Cities by the California Regional Water Quality Control 2-25 Auput 9,2000 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan PLC Development Concept Board (Regional Board Order No. 96-31) and any amendment, revision or re-issuance thereof. • Prior to issuance of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) for grading or building, a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), shall be submitted, and approved based on consistency with the provisions specified herein. New development and significant redevelopment of private and publicly owned properties, must incorporate design elements and/or Best Management Practices (BMPs) which will effectively prevent runoff contamination, and minimize runoff volume leaving the site in the developed condition, to the greatest extent feasible. At a minimum the following specific requirements shall be applied to development of type and/or intensity listed below: (1) Residential Development Development plans for,'or which include the vesting of a final tract map which will result in 10 or greater sub-lots, for grading purposes and backbone infrastructure improvements and/or the build out of homes and other facilities which are part of a planned community development shall: a. Maximize the percentage of permeable surface and green space to allow more percolation of runoff into the ground and/or design site with the capacity to convey or store peak runoff from a storm and release it at a slow rate so as to minimize the peak discharge into storm drains or receiving water bodies; b. Use porous materials for or near walkways and driveways where feasible; c. Incorporate design elements, which will serve to reduce directly, connected impervious area where feasible. Options include the use of alternative design features such as concrete grid driveways, and/or pavers for walkways; 2-26 August 9,2000 Res. No.2000-93 Palm/Coldenwest Specific Plan PLC Development Concept d. Runoff from driveways, streets and other impervious surfaces shall be collected and directed through a system of vegetated and/or gravel filter strips or other media filter devices, where feasible. Selected filter elements shall be designed to 1) trap sediment, particulates and other solids and 2) remove or mitigate contaminants through infiltration and/or biological uptake. The drainage system shall also be designed to convey and discharge runoff from the building site in a non-erosive manner. e. Selected BMPs shall be designed to collectively infiltrate, filter or treat the volume of runoff produced from each and every storm event up to and including the 851'' percentile 24-hour runoff event, prior to conveying runoff in excess of this standard to the storm water conveyance system. BMPs shall be engineered and constructed in accordance with the design specifications and guidance contained in the California Stormwater Best Management Practices Handbook (Municipal). f. The plan must include provisions for regular inspection and maintenance of structural BMPs, for the life of the project. (2) Commercial Development/Parking Lots Development plans for, or which include commercial use > 1000 square feet in size and/or which include exposed parking lots > 5,000 square feet in size and/or with 25 or more parking spaces and/or stand alone parking lots with 25 or more parking spaces or which is > 5,000 square feet in size shall: a. Incorporate BMPs effective at removing or mitigating potential pollutants of concern such as oil, grease, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and particulates from storm water leaving the developed site, prior to such runoff entering the stormwater conveyance system, or any receiving water body. Options to meet this 2-27 August 9,2000 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan PLC Development Concept requirement include the use of vegetative filter strips or other media filter devices,-clarifiers, grassy swales or berms, vacuum devices or a combination thereof. In addition, roads and parking lots should be vacuum swept monthly at a minimum, to remove debris and contaminant residue. b. Selected BMPs shall be designed to collectively infiltrate, filter or treat the volume of runoff produced from each and every storm event up to and including the 85" percentile 24-hour runoff event. BMPs shall be engineered and constructed in accordance with the guidance and specifications provided in the California Stormwater Best Management Handbooks (Commercial and Industrial). (3) Common Area Landscaping Where irrigation is necessary, the system must be designed with an efficient technology which minimizes water requirements and the potential for failure. At a minimum, the following requirements shall apply: All irrigation systems shall have flow sensors and master valves installed on the mainline pipe to ensure system shutdown in the case of pipe breakage. Irrigation master systems shall have an automatic irrigation controller to ensure efficient water distribution. Automatic irrigation controllers shall be easily adjustable so that site watering will be appropriate for daily site weather conditions. Automatic irrigation controllers shall have rain shutoff devices in order to prevent unnecessary operation on rainy days. • Storm Drains Stormwater systems eventually discharge into coastal ocean waters. They may also discharge into wetlands and streams. Stormwater discharging from the site shall be of sufficient quality and volume to maintain or enhance the functional capacity of the receiving waters. Where new storm drains are 2-28 August 9,2000 Res. No.2000-93 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan PLC Development Concept necessary to accommodate the development, they shall be sited and designed to discharge in the least environmentally sensitive location. New storm drain outlets shall not be allowed to discharge into or near coastal waters where rocky intertidal or sub-tidal habitat exists or into wetlands. Storm Drains and/or Catch Basins shall be marked "No dumping-Drains to Ocean" or with other appropriate local insignia. These markings shall be maintained for the life of the project. 11 1 • Dry Weather Runoff Diversion AtJhe time of application for the first coastal development permit for construction of any portion of the storm drain system, the applicant shall provide a study which evaluates the feasibility of diverting dry weather runoff within the Specific Plan area to a local treatment facility able to accept dry weather flows and documentation of the facility's capacity to accommodate such flow, for the life of the development. • Inspection and maintenance of structural BMPs The WQMP shall include provisions for long-term maintenance responsibilities for structural BMPs and shall reference the location of all such BMPs. A BMP maintenance agreement shall be included which provides for an acceptance and/or dedication of operation and maintenance responsibility P P rY to the applicant/owner or successor in interest upon acceptance of a coastal development permit, until such responsibility is effectively accepted by another appropriate entity, such as the City or a Homeowners' Association. Maintenance responsibilities shall remain subject to the following requirements: All BMP traps/separators and/or filters must be inspected, cleaned and maintained as needed throughout the year, but at a minimum once a month through the months of October to April, once prior to storm season, no later than October 15, and once following storm season, no later than June 30"'. Debris and other material removed from 1-19 August 9,2000 Palm/Golden west.Specific Plan PLC Development Concept filters and traps shall be disposed of in a proper manner.

No.2000-93 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan PLC Community Design Guidelines 4 COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES The Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Area is designed as a safe, livable residential and recreation-based community. These guidelines are intended to set a direction for distinctive, high-quality residential developments. These guidelines give specific direction as to styles and themes of development,yet are general enough to allow the individual developer and/or builder flexibility to interpret changes in consumer tastes and market conditions. Although individual interpretation and character are encouraged, builders and designers should review the following design guidelines and standards to examine the relationship that their particular site has to the entire community, and to incorporate all applicable provisions of these guidelines into their projects. More specifically,the purpose of these Community Design Guidelines is: • To provide. ommunity design criteria for use by builders,planners, architects, landscape architects, civil engineers and other project area builders/developers; • To provide specific design criteria that encourages development of a desirable living environment that will help to maintain and enhance the community's value over time. • To create a"classic seaside community" character as an overall theme in the Palm/ Goldenwest Specific Plan Area; and • To allow each Planning Area to establish its own individual identity,yet blend with the overall community theme. This chapter of the Specific Plan is divided into the following sections: ❑ Community Design Concept, Section 4.1; ❑ Site Planning Guidelines, Section 4.2; ❑ Landscape Architecture Guidelines, Section 4.3; and ❑ Architectural Guidelines, Section 4.4. It is the purpose of the Community Design Guidelines to ensure that the theme is implemented in a clear, concise and aesthetically consistent manner. Care and p � Y consideration have been given in developing these Community Design Guidelines to ensure the creation and enhancement of a new aesthetically pleasing community with an emphasis on outdoor lifestyle and recreational opportunities in the City of Huntington Beach. 4-1 August 9,2000 Palm Golden west Specific Plan PLC Community Design Guidelines 4.1 COMMUNITY DESIGN CONCEPT A central theme has been devised to ensure that this carefully considered plan is implemented in a manner that will bring the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Area a sense of its own character and ambiance. It is further intended that this theme be expressed in coordination with the project setting, which serves as a basis around which key elements of the community can be developed. The Specific Plan establishes the project site with a seaside community theme, the intent of which is to create an environment that responds to the increasing demand for well planned residential communities oriented to the active, recreation-rich Southern California lifestyle. This community theme establishes a harmonious blend of traditional architectural styles, landscape concepts, entry monumentation, and walls and fences, which are designed to integrate with the site's proximity to the beach. This will allow the community to develop its own sense of identity, while reflecting the seaside design of surrounding neighborhoods in Huntington Beach. 4.2 SITE PLANNING GUIDELINES The Site Planning Guidelines of the Specific Plan are intended to promote a community that will have a clear identity and sense of place, and that will meet the needs of residents by providing a harmonious and pleasing environment for all uses and activities. These guidelines will provide direction to planners, architects and landscape architects for key design components of the Palm and Goldenwest community. The guidelines are formulated to provide quantitative criteria on appropriate aspects of physical development, as well as qualitative guidance on aspects of how buildings, landscaping, hardscape and signage may positively affect the land,residents and visitors. 4.2.1 General Guidelines The following site planning guidelines are applicable for every Planning Area within the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Area and should be applied wherever feasible throughout the community. Generally,the plan will contain residential and open space land uses which follow the guidelines set forth below. 1. Residential streets should be designed to direct traffic to the arterial and/or collector street system as safely as possible. 2. Design solutions for residential street layouts should consider land form, grades, and circulation hierarchy, and employ appropriate street configurations. 4-2 August 9.2000 Res. No.2000-93 Palm Golden west Specific Plan PLC Community Design Guidelines 3. Entries to residential developments should be visually reinforced through techniques such as landscape treatments, monument signage and/or pavement details. 4. Encourage projects adjacent to the Aera property to be integrated and blended using treatments such as undulating edges,varied rear yard setbacks, and landscape treatments to buffer the industrial site from the residential edge. 4.2.2 Residential Guidelines The following site planning guidelines apply generally to all residential development within the PLC property. Lot configurations should conform to the Development Standards and Guidelines set forth in Chapter 3 of this Specific Plan. • Curvilinear streets should be utilized whenever possible for visual interest and to modulate building massing in individual neighborhoods. Residential streets should be designed to promote interaction and pedestrian movement. • Varying lot widths and configuration, and cul-de-sacs and corners should be utilized where feasible to promote a varied residential character. • Homes should be arranged whenever possible in a staggered and variable setback fashion to provide visual interest and avoid repetitive appearance and facades and yards. • Each structure or composite of units should have a varied facade material or color than the immediately adjacent structure%composite,to replicate a diverse single-family style neighborhood and promote individuality. • The architectural design character should be consistently implemented in structural features and details including signs and lighting. • Single-family attached products should be architecturally articulated. • Varied driveway locations are encouraged to break up repetitive curb cuts and yard patterns. • Combinations of one and two story building elements are encouraged to create yard variation and visual interest. • Safe and convenient circulation connections should be provided between housing areas and open space areas. 4-3 August 9.2000 PalmGoldenwest Specific Plan PLC Community Design Guidelines • Common area fencing,walls, gates and other security features should be designed to facilitate access to the pedestrian areas and open space. • Rear or side elevations of residential units should be enhanced where visible from public open spaces and public streets. 4.2.3 Open Space Guidelines The Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan will provide public and private open space areas as described in Chapter 2. These areas should incorporate the following site planning guidelines. • Open space,parks and recreation areas should be located in highly visible locations. • Open space areas within the community should be linked by a network system of pedestrian walkways. • Open space areas should be visible from streets for safety and surveillance purposes. • Open space areas should be appropriately landscaped. • Plant materials should be used to define activity/use areas, and to frame and reinforce views. 4.3 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE GUIDELINES Landscaping plays an important role in establishing the visual identity and character of the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Area as a beachside residential community. Consistency in theme and the application of major community-level design elements such as entries, arterial street parkways,walls and fences, interface/edge conditions, and plant materials must be maintained throughout the Planning Areas of the Specific Plan Area to communicate and strengthen this identity. The Community Landscape Plan for the PLC property is shown in Exhibit 4.3-1. Implementation of the following guidelines will ensure a recognizable and cohesive community image while allowing individual expression of landscape treatment at the Planning Area or project level. 4-4 August 9.2000 IIIIIIIIIII���Ilp _ , e II j' �..,\\ if3,. r..,. •,t.��!�`'H,��1 �s��J%T- Y. �.,...�mr .. � j /' � \a r� IC r .rir"a�.irr�r�r�l.flllli •_, � fryy °°° s�Q�h i� l� � i��i �'SYa'M- ^'"__--— -�/��\\ �'�\� �% �,�ij„�������.������•''-� � �j 1!llM1M1M1777���444 --ii.�� ' � ° u'i t!�'� e� /�rar.- qua •�o ����� � % � � -L��L� �� ,\ �' ba n°n °��' � 1 Icn ��� �, OI ���� �� �B• � II r. 4u''T,y uuuyiup_-'f/�Yrl � I ..a�fs�000O�0000 o00 li V � r�`�-. . •---� ����� [� � � i i� � ■ I� ' � =low �>�t `�!iIIM ; !il � y�y�K 1AIIM i j�iN '� ■ ' ho o0 •�`:-���*�. /� ir,� i�l� �_� �„_ mutt - ■e�.�r.,ri.����i�l�,_.. � ��, I����Jr���J�lr I� � i, 0 o a o oa ai[rh o a 00 opuu;o'ol�M , `` -�— — '-- _t1�b_fir.�c�InFr�x/It �►�� � ' • ' 1.

PalmGoldenwest Specific Plan PLC Community Design Guidelines 4.3.1 Community Landscape Concept The creation of an established seaside community neighborhood character is the fundamental concept for the Palm and Goldenwest landscape concept. The following design principles are embodied in this concept: • Community and project entries classically designed using natural materials and colors, with a similar vocabulary of materials, shapes and forms; • Consistent street tree themes should be related to the hierarchy of the street system; • Unified community theme wall and fence design, and the extensive use of trees, vines and shrubs to soften these features; • Recommended plant palettes for specific applications (i.e., entries, stre9scapes,paseo/buffers, etc.) and the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area community as a whole; • Recognition of existing natural conditions and situations; • Use of both "formal" and "informal' planting arrangements, depending upon the particular condition; • Use of both evergreen and deciduous plant material; and, • "Layering" of the shrub understory to create depth, variety and interest. 4.3.2 Entry Treatments 1. Primary Project Entry The Primary Project Entry, shown in Exhibit 4.3-2, is located off of Goldenwest Street opposite Orange Avenue and will be a security-gated entrance with a guardhouse.

Exhibit 4.3-1, Community Landscape Plan,gives a diagrammatic depiction of the entries,and street locations and classifications. This hierarchy of streets and entries has been developed to: • Provide an attractive edge to implement the City's Urban Design Element and complement existing neighborhoods surrounding the project area; • Provide thematic continuity throughout the Specific Plan Area through the use of repetitive materials and themes; and • Complement a variety of architectural styles and themes. 1. Palm Avenue Palm Avenue forms the northern project boundary, and has been landscaped as part of previous development projects. From Goldenwest Street to Seacliff Country Club Drive,the existing landscaping is planned to be retained and enhanced. West of Seacliff Country Club Drive, existing landscaping may be retained unless the grading plan for the multi- family site changes significantly. Adjacent to the proposed neighborhood park, existing landscaping and walls are to be removed to open views into the park. This streetscape is shown in Exhibit 4.3-1 and detailed in Exhibit 2.4-3. 2. Goldenwest Street Goldenwest Street forms the eastern edge of the project and is designated a Landscape Corridor in the Urban Design Element of the Huntington Beach General Plan. A 25-foot wide landscape setback is designed for the entire length of the subject property, and will be planted with arepetition of palm trees with groupings of deciduous canopy trees. This scheme is shown in the Community Landscape Plan,Exhibit 4.3-1, and detailed in Exhibit 2.4-4. The Primary Entry Road off of Goldenwest Street will be a formal promenade of marching project theme trees spaced with groupings of accent trees leading to the guardhouse. The roadway is designed with a 20-foot landscape parkway lining both sides of the drive,with a low planted median of shrubs and annual color from Goldenwest Street to the guardhouse. This streetscape scheme is shown in Exhibit 2.4-4. 4-9 August 9.2000 PalmGoldenwest Specific Plan PLC Community Design Guidelines 4.3.4 Landscape Buffers and Interfaces In order to create a well-planned established seaside community, a series of landscape buffers have been designed for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan. These buffers will provide orderly transitions between the various land uses. The Landscape Buffers/Interfaces are described in Section 2.4, Open Space, identified on the Community Landscape Plan, Exhibit 4.3-1, and briefly described below. 1. Arterial Edges • Palm Avenue Palm Avenue is designed to retain or enhance the existing landscape buffers along the entire length of the property. From Goldenwest Street to Seacliff Country Club Drive, existing groupings of accent '. trees screen a 6-foot perimeter wall as measured from the top of the exterior sidewalk elevation. West of Seacliff Country Club Drive, existing walls will be removed to provide views into the neighborhood park. Adjacent to the multi-family site,the existing wall may be retained or may be replaced with a six (6) foot wall or view fence. • Goldenwest Street Goldenwest Street, bordering the site to the east, is designed to continue the existing streetscape north of the subject property. It will have a 25-foot landscape buffer the entire length of the subject property, and will have an 8-foot perimeter wall as measured from the top of the exterior sidewalk elevation. 2. Aera Energy Edge The Aera property edge is designed as a paseo/buffer area with a variable 25-foot setback with a meandering sidewalk and heavy landscaping. A minimum eight-foot high screen wall and minimum 20 foot landscape buffer area will be provided along the southern project boundary to screen the residential development from impacts of ongoing oil operations. Properties adjacent to the Aera property edge have an additional structural setback requirement.

No.2000-93 PalrnGoldenwest Specific Plan PLC Community Design Guidelines 4.3.5 Community Theme Walls and Fences The design concept for the community walls and fencing at Palm and Goldenwest is shown in Exhibit 4.3-4, and is summarized below. Community walls and fencing consist of elements which are readily visible from arterial and'collector streets or from adjacent or nearby areas outside of the Planning Areas. Generally, community theme walls should be consistent in scale, materials, and type. Some variation in design details, such as color, finish, caps and pilasters may be employed at entries to express a certain individuality. Fences and walls include any type of fence,retaining wall, sound attenuation wall or screen. Fences and walls shall be in compliance with the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Section 230.88. For the purposes of this section,,:exterior side means that fence wall facing away from the property and toward-`4oining properties, streets and interior side means that fence wall facing inwards toward the property. 1. General Guidelines • All community theme walls and fences shall be consistent in design. • Any fence/wall adjoining a public street or any fence/wall visible from the side or rear shall be the community theme wall. • View fencing should have a low masonry wall with cap and pool code height tubular fencing, or glass for sound attenuation if required. Alternatively,view fencing of full height tubular steel may be used, and pilasters incorporated into steel fencing. • Vines and/or shrubs should be planted along community walls to soften the visual character. An extensive use of vines is encouraged. • The maximum wall or fence height shall be six(6)feet within any required rear, or side setback area, or eight(8) feet along the project perimeter. Fence/walls heights are measured from the base of the fence/wall to the top of the interior or exterior side,whichever is greater, except in no case should the maximum height of the wall exceed ten(10) feet(in combination with a retaining wall). Wall heights along the perimeter shall be measured from the top of the exterior sidewalk. 4-11 August 9,2000 GLASS OR PLEXIGLASS PANEL ANODIZED ALUMINUM i POST AND CHANNEL PAINTED SLUMP BLOCK WALL W/SLURRY FINISH WALL CAP:PRECAST, CMU OR BRICK PILASTER z 1 2"TO 24' W/PRE-CAST CAP -�-- ,-_ 4 VIEW FENCE — GLASS MASONRY WALL BASE to THEME WALL 4} to 1— VIEW FENCE — TUBULAR STEEL GALVANIZED/PAINTED T.S.FENCE MASONRY WALL 4 a BASE ] null I imiRlill I I Ll :: 2"TO 24" • WALL HEIGHTS MAY VARY VIEW FENCE — TUBULAR STEEL (5'-6"MIN.,8'-0'MAX.@ COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL P.L.)

The intent is to allow the Planning Areas to establish individual identities,yet blend strongly with overall community themes. It is further the intent of these guidelines to ensure consistency with the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B and the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. These guidelines should be addressed during final project review unless it is demonstrated that certain guidelines are not applicable, appropriate, or feasible under the circumstances. The goal of this component of the Architectural Guidelines is to promote product quality and community diversity by encouraging builders to explore and expand their range of architectural styles. The guidelines in this section seek to continue the legacy of diversity within the City of Huntington Beach without sacrificing quality control over design details. 4.4.1 Architectural Character An assemblage of architectural styles consistent with an "established seaside community" theme is intended to aid designers in developing a classic architectural image compatible with the surrounding residential communities. 4.4.2 Residential Architectural Design Guidelines The purpose of this section is to provide specific architectural design guidelines for product development. Criteria are provided to ensure the use of recurring design elements which will reinforce the visual and spatial expression of the community and its themes. It will concurrently allow for individual design solutions appropriate to each planning area. 1. Height and Building Mass Height shall be determined by the residential development standards of this document. However,the underlying theme of the massing should be to maintain a human scale and low profile. Proper design considerations for building mass and form will create a visually attractive community that is sensitive to the surrounding environment. 4-18 August 9.2000 Res.No.2000 93 Palm Golden west Specific Plan PLC Community Design Guidelines 2. Building Materials and Colors Building materials and colors shall complement the natural, climatic, and built environment of the Palm and Goldenwest community. Whenever possible, materials should be durable and require minimal maintenance. 3. Architectural Projections Balconies,porches and overhangs are desirable elements of a building that provide architectural interest and protection against the sun and inclement weather. Balconies are encouraged for inclusion in medium and high density residential areas since they provide residents with necessary outdoor areas and spaces. Balconies,porches and overhangs add visually to structures by breaking up wall masses, offsetting floors, and creating a :sense of human scale. 4. Facade Treatments By varying the spacing, sizes, shapes and locations of door and window openings in building facades, structures may be made more visually interesting and attractive. However,care must be taken to avoid too much variety or the end result will be a chaotic, cluttered, building facade. 4-19 Augusl 9,2000 tz ._ ��y ,, "\ Res.

No.2000-93 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Aera Introduction 5 INTRODUCTION 5.1 PROJECT AREVEXISTING CONDITIONS The 96 acre Aera parcel is bounded by Pacific Coast Highway, Goldenwest Street, Seapoint and the PLC parcel as shown on Figure 2-1-1. The site is currently used for oil production and owned by Aera Energy LLC. According to Area Energy,the site will remain in oil production for the next 15 to 20 years. The project area is located in the Coastal Zone boundary, as defined by the California Coastal Commission. The Huntington Beach General Plan currently designates the Aera parcel for Mixed Use- Horizontal Integration of Housing (MH), with a Specific Plan Overlay. The Aera parcel is designated as Subarea 413 on the Huntington Beach General Plan Table LU-4,which describes the Permitted Uses, Density/Intensity, and Design and Development Standards and Principles. The existing Local Coastal Program Land Use designation for the site is Resource. Production with visitor serving overlays at both the northerly and southerly ends of the site. There are currently two zoning designations on-site: RH-O-CZ (High Density Residential with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays) and IG-OI-CZ (General Industrial with Oil Production and Coastal Zone Overlays). 1 The legal description is included in the appendix of the Specific Plan. 5.2 PURPOSE AND INTENT The purpose of this portion of the Specific Plan is to establish zoning and standards for visitor serving uses, including open space and recreational uses on the 96 acre Aera parcel consistent with the City's General Plan,the Local Coastal Program,the Conceptual Master Plan(CMP), and compatible with surrounding land uses. This portion of the Specific Plan provides consistency with the goals,policies and criteria of the City's General Plan, including policies related to land use,urban design, economic development, circulation,public facilities, especially those related to Subarea 4B provisions. The intent of this portion of the Specific Plan is to guide and coordinate the future design and development of the Aera parcel. It provides a description of land use, circulation, infrastructure, site development standards, and implementation programs for the preparation of detailed development proposals for City review and approval. S-1 August 9.2000 Palm/Golden west Specific Plan Aera Introduction The Specific Plan serves as the implementing actions program (zoning) for the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program and the Conceptual Master Plan. Aera has indicated that they will continue the current oil production activities on their parcel for the next 15 to 20 years. This Specific Plan permits the oil production use to continue and the future development of a mix of visitor serving commercial, office/high technology, open space and civic uses that include esplanades, greenbelts and pedestrian linkages. Given its prime location and ocean-oriented views, it is the City's desire to maximize the visitor serving coniiinercial and recreational opportunities on the Aera site. Therefore,no residential development is included. Any Gh&nge of use fre the ffeRt oil a,.,.tie a"iy4ie,s new development on the Aera parcel will require review and approval by the City through the tentative map/conditional use permit/coastal development process. Amendments to the Specific Plan will be processed as amendments to the City's Local Coastal Program and will not take effect until certified by the California Coastal Commission. 5.3 CALIFORNIX ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT COMPLIANCE In May, 1996,the City of Huntington Beach certified Environmental Impact Report No. 94-1 ("EIR")for the comprehensive update of the City's General Plan. This EIR evaluated development of the Specific Plan Area as Mixed Use -Horizontal Integration of Housing and any potential impacts from development. The Specific Plan, the proposed PLC project and the Aera site are within the parameters of development evaluated in EIR No. 94-1, and will not create any additional environmental impacts. The EIR determined that there will be no impacts from the proposed residential development which cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared as part of the Specific Plan approval process. The Initial Study will serve as the basis on which the environmental effects of implementing the Specific Plan can be ascertained. The Initial Study indicated that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEQA compliance tool, and has been prepared as part of this Specific Plan process. A traffic study,noise study,air quality study, and visual analysis have also been prepared in conjunction with the CMP and this Specific Plan to further demonstrate that there are no significant impacts from the proposed Specific Plan and development. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and distributed for public review and comment. Mitigation Measures included as part of Mitigated Negative Declaration#98-8 have been incorporated in Appendix B and will be included as conditions of approval on all development projects within the Specific Plan Area. 3-2 August 9.2000 Res. No.2000-93 Palm/Coldenwest Specific Plan Aera Introduction All subsequent approvals necessary to develop any property within the Specific Plan Area must be consistent with the Specific Plan and be within the scope of the EIR and Mitigated Negative Declaration. Additional environmental documentation may be required in the future if significant changes are found to have occurred pursuant to Section 15162 and 15182 of the CEQA guidelines. r. 5-3 August 9,2000 �. „y :,� Res. No.2000-93 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Aera Development Concept 6 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT 6.1 CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT The Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan(CMP) for the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Area is illustrated on Exhibit 2.1-1. The intent of the Conceptual Master Plan (Exhibit 2.1-1) is to establish general planning concepts for the entire site4e-be refined throughthe,pr-epamtioia of gpee fire Plan. The General Plan for Subarea 4B specifically allows for phased Specific Plans in order to permit the near-term development of PLC's property and development of Aera's property at a later point in time as oil operations are phased out. Upon completion of a future specific plan for the AERA parcel the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan will be amended to incorporate the specific plan. Amendments to the Specific Plan will be processed as amendments to the City's Local Coastal Program and will not take effect until certified by the Commission. Public amenities, such as the four acres of designated open space,will be provided prior to or concurrent with any proposed commercial development as specified in Section 6.4. 6.2 LAND USE PLAN/DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT All uses proposed in the Land Use Plan are consistent with the City's Local Coastal Program, General Plan and the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B. Any revisions to the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan or any revisions to the General Plan affecting the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan will be processed as an LCP amendment and shall not take effect until certified by the California Coastal Commission. The CMP Land Use Plan illustrates that the Aera property will remain in oil production for the foreseeable future (approximately 10-15-20 years). Within this portion of the Specific Plan, the Aera parcel proposes a mix of visitor serving commercial, office/high technology, open space and civic uses. The comer of PCH and Goldenwest is designated for visitor serving uses such as specialty retail,restaurants, an entertainment complex, timeshares and/or a resort hotel. The remaining portions of the site are devoted to other visitor serving uses, including retail, office and high technology uses, but still permitting continued oil production activities on the 96 acre Aera parcel. 6-1 August 9,2000 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Aera Development Concept 6.3 CIRCULATION PLAN Four arterial streets lay adjacent to the site, Pacific Coast Highway, Seapoint, Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street. Conceptually,for the Aera Parcel, it is anticipated that there will be a right-in and right-out access off Goldenwest and Seapoint, with the major access points from PCH.A public pedestrian corridor is proposed from PCH to Palm, near Cherryhill,to provide a connection between the Aera parcel and the neighboring residential uses. The exact locations of the accesses for the Aera parcel will be determined when the site is proposed for development. The Conceptual Master Plan limits the maximum number of average daily trips that may be generated by-ultimate development of the site to 27,139. This is to ensure that impacts to the City's circulation system,as well as, ambient air quality and noise levels remain within the scope of impacts analyzed in the General Plan Program EIR 94-1 and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-8. Of the total trip budget,the PLC site has been allocated a maximum of 5,230 average daily trips, and the Aera parcel has been assigned a trip budget not to exceed 21,909 average daily trips. Individual parcels within the site may exchange or trade unused trip allocations,,as long as the overall budget for the site is not exceeded, and subject to City approval. The trip budget allocations, along with the development standards of the Conceptual Master Plan,will determine the land use intensities ultimately permitted within the Aera parcel 6.4 OPEN SPACE Within the Aera Parcel,the four acre site on the northwest side of Seapoint has been designated for future open space uses to complement the existing open space designations adjacent to this site (Exhibit 2.1-1). This open space area will be landscaped with native vegetation consistent with the restoration activities occurring in Bolsa Chica and Harriett Wieder Regional Park. Landscaping shall be consistent with the requirements of Sections 6.7 . (Water Quality), and 7.8 (Landscaping) and shall be completed prior to or concurrent with the first development (except Tentative Tract Maps) approved on the Aera parcel through the coastal development permit process. Passive recreational uses and public parking immediately adjacent to Seapoint will also be allowed. 6-1 August 9,1000 l Res. No.2000-93 Palm/Goldenwest.Specific Plan Aera Development Concept In addition, a public pedestrian linkage between Palm and PCH, near Cherryhill, is shown in the central portion of the Aera site to complement the proposed open space/civic uses and the public park site off Palm Avenue. Greenbelts and buffer areas have been designated between the PLC parcel and Aera parcel to provide an adequate buffer between the proposed residential and future commercial development. An esplanade along PCH is designated that provides public pedestrian access and view opportunities of coastal resources the length of the parcel. When the Aera parcel is developed,the property owner/developer will be responsible to fulfill the required open space obligation in effect at the time. On the Aera side, the buffer shall include a minimum setback of 75 feet from the PLC property line for structures, as well as, a minimum of a 50 foot landscaped area within the required 75 foot setback.No parking or vehicle access (other than for emergency access) shall be permitted within that 50 foot landscaped area on the Aera parcel. 6.5 SITE PREARA.TION 6.5.1 Grading Concept The Aera parcel will require grading operations for soil remediation and to construct streets, infrastructure,pads and other site improvements to create properly drained development areas. The grading concept for the Aera parcel is intended to: • Be responsive to the existing land forms; • Minimize the length of time and physical impacts of'the grading operations; • Stabilize manufactured slopes; and • Avoid any unnecessary import/export of earthwork to minimize impacts of the grading operation on surrounding residential communities. Soil remediation, over-excavation, stockpiling and normal grading operations and procedures will occur within the site. pipelines.in ensiW fills, and removal an&er-r-eleeation of 6-3 August 9,2000 Palm/Golden west Specific Plan Aera Development Concept All soil remediation and grading within the Ae-m paFS€1 Specific Plan area will require a grading permit as well as a coastal development permit and will be governed by soils, foundation and other geotechnical reports prepared by registered professional civil and geotechnical engineers, building codes, established engineering practices and City ordinances. Preliminary grade elevations and details will be provided at the Tentative Tract Map process. Grading shall be consistent with City policies and incorporate safe grading techniques to provide for proper engineering practices and ensure proper site drainage. All soil remediation and grading plans shall be subject to review and approval by the City to incorporate appropriate conditions of approval and mitigation measures. 6.5.2 Oil Well Abandonment All oil well abandonments, excavation and remediation of contaminated soils shall require a coastal development permit and shall be performed in accordance with the following requirements. • Closure of oil wells, removal of pipelines and facilities shall be in compliance with the requirements of the California Department of Conservation, Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources; • Cleanup of surface soil and contaminants shall be in compliance with the requirements of the California Department of Toxic Substance Control, Site Mitigation Branch; and (as required) the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Santa Ana Region. In addition cleanup of surface soil and contaminants shall also be in compliance with the requirements of the City of Huntington Beach Fire Department. • When a well site is abandoned, all improvements on the site shall be removed and the site shall be restored on an interim basis to its natural condition as it existed before oil development occurred until the proposed development is constructed. • Adequate screening, setbacks, and aesthetic treatments shall be provided within development areas to minimize hazards and nuisances posed by the proximity of oil operations. • Any oil related development shall be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the California Department of 6-4 August 9,2000 Res. No.2000-93 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Aera Development Concept Conservation, Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources Guidelines regarding specifications and standards for oil-related activities, well abandonments, and reabandonments. 6.6 PROJECT INFRASTRUCTURE The infrastructure for the Aera parcel will be analyzed,,4;:e a rhange of:us ' E-. s;i-d—porped as development plans are formalized. Changes to allowed land uses or to the Specific Plan will be processed as an amendment to the City's Local Coastal Program and will not become effective until certified by the California Coastal Commission. Developers shall be responsible for the construction or funding of public facilities improvements within their project and/or off-site facilities necessary to serve the development, including but not limited to storm drains, sewer facilities, water facilities and other required services. Public amenities, such as the four acres of designated open space (Exhibit 2.1-1), will be provided prior to or concurrent with the first development approved on the Aera parcel through the coastal . development permit process. Developers shall forward copies of all tentative tract maps submitted for City approval to the utility providers to coordinate service requirements. 6.7 WATER QUALITY The City of Huntington Beach is a coastal community noted for its beaches. The beaches of Huntington Beach attract numerous people to the area. The beaches consequently support the City's economy. Tourism dollars are spent on lodging, food, recreational equipment sales, retail sales, and other tourist related commercial ventures. The well being of the City's economy is consequently dependent on maintaining quality of coastal waters. Recent closures of the beaches have had an adverse effect on the City's economy and coastal recreational opportunities. The flow of untreated stormwater can have an adverse impact on the quality of coastal waters since storm drains eventually discharge into the ocean. Section 5.2.1 of the City's Coastal Element notes that the 6-5 August 9.2000 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Aera Development Concept Development plans for, or which include the vesting of a final tract map which will result in 10 or greater sub-lots,for grading purposes and backbone infrastructure improvements and/or the build out of homes and other facilities which are part of a planned community development shall: a. Maximize the percentage of permeable surface and green space to allow more percolation of runoff into the ground and/or design site with the capacity to convey or store peak runoff from a storm and release it at a slow rate so as to minimize the peak discharge into storm drains or receiving water bodies; b. Use porous materials for or near walkways and driveways where feasible; c. zlicorporate design elements, which will serve to reduce directly, connected impervious area where feasible. Options include the use of alternative design features such as concrete grid driveways, and/or pavers for walkways; d. Runoff from driveways, streets and other impervious surfaces shall be collected and directed through a system of vegetated and/or gravel filter strips or other media filter devices, where feasible. Selected filter elements shall be designed to 1) trap sediment, particulates and other solids and 2) remove or mitigate contaminants through infiltration and/or biological uptake. The drainage system shall also be designed to convey and discharge runoff from the building site in a non-erosive manner. e. Selected BMPs shall be designed to collectively infiltrate, filter or treat the volume of runoff produced from each and every storm event up to and including the 85th percentile 24- hour runoff event, prior to conveying runoff in excess of this standard to the storm water conveyance system. BMPs shall be engineered and constructed in accordance with the design specifications and guidance contained in the California Stormwater Best Management Practices Handbook (Municipal). 6-7, August 9,2000 Res. No.2000-93 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Aera Development Concept f. The plan must include provisions for regular inspection and maintenance of structural BMPs, for the life of the project. (2) Commercial Development/Parking Lots Development plans for, or which include commercial use > 1000 square feet in size and/or which include exposed parking lots >`5,000 square feet in size and/or with 25 or more parking spaces and/or stand alone parking lots with 25 or more parking spaces or which is > 5,000 square feet in size shall: a. Incorporate BMPs effective at removing or mitigating potential pollutants of concern such as oil, grease, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and particulates from storm water leaving the developed site, prior to such runoff entering the stormwater conveyance system, or any receiving water body. Options to meet this requirement include the use of vegetative filter strips or other media filter devices, clarifiers, grassy swales or berms, vacuum devices or a combination thereof. In addition, roads and parking lots should be vacuum swept monthly at a minimum, to remove debris and contaminant residue. b. Selected BMPs shall be designed to collectively infiltrate, filter or treat the volume of runoff produced from each and every storm event up to and including the 85th percentile 24- hour runoff event. BMPs shall be engineered and constructed in accordance with the guidance and specifications provided in the California Stormwater Best Management Handbooks (Commercial and Industrial). (3) Common Area Landscaping Where irrigation is necessary, the system must be designed with an efficient technology which minimizes water requirements and the potential for failure. At a minimum, the following requirements shall apply: All irrigation systems shall have flow sensors and master valves installed on the mainline pipe to ensure system shutdown in the case of pipe 6-8 August 9.2000 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Aera Development Concept breakage. Irrigation master systems shall have an automatic irrigation controller to ensure efficient water distribution. Automatic irrigation controllers shall be easily adjustable so that site watering will be appropriate for daily site weather conditions. Automatic irrigation controllers shall have rain shutoff devices in order to prevent unnecessary operation on rainy`days. • Storm Drains Stormwater systems eventually discharge into coastal ocean waters. They may also discharge into wetlands and streams. Stormwater discharging from the site shall be of sufficient quality and volume to maintain or enhance the functional capacity of the receiving waters. Where new storm drains are necessary to accommodate the development, they shall be sited and designed to discharge in the least environmentally sensitive location. New storm drain outlets shall not be allowed to discharge into or near coastal waters where rocky intertidal or sub-tidal habitat exists or into wetlands. Storm Drains and/or Catch Basins shall be marked "No dumping- Drains to Ocean" or with other appropriate local insignia. These markings shall be maintained for the life of the project. • Dry Weather Runoff Diversion At the time of application for the first coastal development permit for construction of any portion of the storm drain system, the applicant shall provide a study which evaluates the feasibility of diverting dry weather runoff within the Specific Plan area to a local treatment facility able to accept dry weather flows and documentation of the facility's capacity to accommodate such flow, for the life of the development. • Inspection and maintenance of structural BMPs 6-9 August 9,2000 Res. No.2000-93 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Aera Development Concept The WQMP shall include provisions for long-term maintenance responsibilities for structural BMPs and shall reference the location of all such BMPs. A BMP maintenance agreement shall be included which provides for an acceptance and/or dedication of operation and maintenance responsibility to the applicant/owner or successor in interest upon acceptance of a coastal development permit, until such responsibility is effectively accepted by another appropriate entity, such as the City or a Homeowners' Association.

No.2000-93 r Blank Page Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Aera Community Design Guidelines 8 COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES These guidelines give specific direction as to styles and themes of development, yet are general enough to allow the individual developer and/or builder flexibility to interpret changes in consumer tastes and market conditions. Although individual interpretation and character are encouraged,builders and designers should review the following design guidelines and standards to examine the relationship which their particular site has to the entire community, and to incorporate all applicable provisions of these guidelines into their projects. It is the purpose of the Community Design Guidelines to ensure that the theme is implemented in a clear, concise and aesthetically consistent manner. Care and consideration have been given in developing these Community Design Guidelines to ensure the creation and enhancement of a new aesthetically pleasing community with an emphasis on oi&or lifestyle and recreational opportunities in the City of Huntington Beach. More specifically,the purpose of these Community Design Guidelines is: To provide community design criteria for use by builders,planners, architects, landscape architects, civil engineers and other project area builders/developers; To provide specific design criteria that encourages development of a desirable living environment that will help to maintain and enhance the community's value over time; To create a"classic seaside community" character as an overall theme in the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area. 8.1 COMMUNITY DESIGN CONCEPT A central theme has been devised to ensure that this carefully considered plan is, implemented in a manner that will bring the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Area a sense of its own character and ambiance. It is further intended that this theme be expressed in coordination with the project setting,which serves as a basis around which key elements of the community can be developed. 8-1 August 9,2000 Res.No.2000-93 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Aera Community Design Guidelines 8.2 SITE PLANNING GUIDELINES The Site Planning Guidelines for the Aera parcel are intended to promote a community that will have a clear identity and sense of place, and that will meet the needs of residents and visitors by providing a harmonious and pleasing environment for all uses and activities. These guidelines will provide direction to planners, architects and landscape architects for key design components of the Palm and Goldenwest community. The guidelines are formulated to provide quantitative criteria on appropriate aspects of physical development, as well as qualitative guidance on aspects of how buildings, landscaping,hardscape and signage may positively affect the land,residents and visitors. 8.3 OPEN SPACE GUIDELINES The PalmlGoldenwest Specific Plan will provide public and private open space areas should incorpoAte the following site planning guidelines. • Open space,parks and recreation areas should be located in highly visible locations. • Open space areas within the community should be linked by a network system of pedestrian walkways. • Open space areas should be visible from streets for safety and surveillance purposes. • Open space areas should be appropriately landscaped. • Plant materials should be used to define activity/use areas, and to frame and reinforce views. 8.4 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE GUIDELINES Landscaping plays an important role in establishing the visual identity and character of the Aera parcel as a beach side visitor serving area. Consistency in theme and the application of major community-level design elements such as entries, arterial street parkways,walls and fences,interface/edge conditions,and plant materials must be maintained throughout the Aera parcel to communicate and strengthen this identity. The landscaping themes should be consistent with the Conceptual Master Plan landscape design guidelines and should include: • Community and project entries classically designed using natural materials and colors, with a similar vocabulary of materials, shapes and forms; • Consistent street tree themes should be related to the hierarchy of the street system; 8-1 August 9.2000 i Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Aera Community Design Guidelines • Unified community theme wall and fence design,'and the extensive use of trees, vines and shrubs to soften these features; • Recommended plant palettes for specific applications (i.e., entries, streetscapes, paseo/buffers, etc.) and the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Area community as a whole; = • Recognition of existing natural conditions and situations; • Use of both "formal" and "informal" planting arrangements, depending upon the particular condition; • Use of both:evergreen and deciduous plant material; • "Layering"�tf the shrub understory to create depth,variety and interest. • Provide an attractive edge to implement the City's Urban Design Element and complement existing neighborhoods surrounding the project area; • Provide thematic continuity throughout the Aera parcel through the use of repetitive materials and themes; and • Complement a variety of architectural styles and themes. 8.5 COMMUNITY THEME WALLS AND FENCES Community walls and fencing consist of elements which are readily visible from arterial and collector streets or from adjacent or nearby areas outside of the Planning Areas. Generally, community theme walls should be consistent in scale,materials, and type. Some variation in design details, such as color, finish, caps and pilasters may be employed at entries to express a certain individuality,however: • All community theme walls and fences shall be consistent in design. • Any fence/wall adjoining a public street or any fence/wall visible from the side or rear shall be the community theme wall. • View fencing should have a low masonry wall with cap and pool code height tubular fencing, or glass for sound attenuation if required. Alternatively, view fencing of full height tubular steel may be used, and pilasters incorporated into steel fencing. 8-3 Augasi 9,2000 Res. No.2000-93 PalmlGoldenwest Specific Plan Aera Community Design Guidelines • Vines and/or shrubs should be planted along community walls to soften the visual character. An extensive use of vines is encouraged. • Pedestrian sidewalks and enhanced perimeter landscaping will be provided along the entire length of Goldenwest Street. This edge will be a continuation of the enhanced landscape and wall materials and design along Palm Avenue. • Fences and walls shall be in compliance with the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Section 230.88 8.6 ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES Implementationof a consistent architectural design program. The intent is to allow the Planning Areas to establish individual identities, yet blend strongly with overall community thl f ies. It is further the intent of these guidelines to ensure consistency with the Conceptual'Master Plan for Subarea 4B and the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. These guidelines should be addressed during final project review unless it is demonstrated that certain guidelines are not applicable, appropriate, or feasible under the circumstances. , The goal of this component of the Architectural Guidelines is to promote product quality and community diversity by encouraging builders to explore and expand their range of architectural styles. The guidelines in this section seek to continue the legacy of diversity within the City of Huntington Beach without sacrificing quality control over design details. An assemblage of architectural styles consistent with an "established seaside community" theme is intended to aid designers in developing a classic architectural image compatible with the surrounding residential communities. 8.7 COMMERCIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES The intent of this section is to encourage the siting of the common areas,civic uses, recreation facilities and visitor serving areas first,then orient specific buildings around these gathering areas creating a true sense of place for visitors to enjoy. Buildings should be sited in such a manner as to encourage walking from one part of the commercial area to another with as little automobile intrusion as possible. 1. Commercial Design Theme The ultimate site design for the Aera parcel should attempt to visually emphasize prominent design elements and vistas, while screening undesirable views. The siting of buildings should protect and enhance public view opportunities to the ocean,with restaurant and entertainment 8-4 August 9.2000 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Aera Community Design Guidelines uses located where they can take advantage of ocean views, while providing a harmonious transition between adjacent land uses and between development and open space. 2. Setbacks Increased setbacks and/or design elements that buffer residential units from impacts of the abutting commercial development should be incorporated in the site design. Site plans should be designed so that building footprints are articulated and incorporate variations composed of insets, entries, corners, and jogs integrated with adjacent outdoor areas in order to create intricate and inviting pedestrian spaces. 3. Compatibility With Existing Development Although architectural diversity is encouraged in commercial projects, it is not to be achieved at the expense of harmony with existing development. Thus,though new projects need not imitate the design of surrounding buildings,they nevertheless should be visually compatible with that development. In addition, commercial projects should avoid designs so massive as to overwhelm the scale of surrounding residential development. 4. Focal Points The use of focal points in a commercial complex is desirable to provide both orientation and organization. These focal points create a visual counterpoint to the massing of nearby buildings. Examples of important focal elements include courtyards enhanced by fountains, outdoor cafes and other amenities and the use of towers that create a vivid visual and mental image for a project,provide identity and differentiation from other projects and become the gathering point for a project. 5. Public Art Provisions shall be incorporated in the Specific Plan to require public art be provided in public spaces,especially to assist in defining focal points and open area. 8-5 August 9,2000 Res. No.2000-93 Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Aera Community Design Guidelines 6. Pedestrian and Open Space Linkages Open space areas with footpaths should be designed throughout the project area to provide linkages to the major recreation activities and encourage pedestrian activity. Buildings and pedestrian paths should be sited in such a manner as to encourage walking from one part of the commercial area to . another,with as little automobile intrusion as possible. Also,provisions should be made for direct pedestrian links between the project's residential areas. 7. Bicycle Access .Bicycle usage shall be encouraged by the provision of bikeway accesses =arid bike racks at convenient locations near building entries. S. Lighting Parking lot and outdoor lighting should be the minimum needed to accommodate safety and security, while minimizing the impacts on the surrounding residential areas. Outdoor lighting should be coordinated with parking lot and planting plans. Architectural lighting should serve to emphasize building entries and particular building details. 9. Parking Lots Parking lot design should provide for vehicular and pedestrian access to adjacent parcels, should be designed to avoid large unbroken expanses of paved areas,provide buffers between buildings and the parking areas and screened from the street by landscaping and berming. 10. Screening of Service Areas Service and storage areas and trash enclosures should be screened from public view by means of walls and landscaping. Loading and storage areas shall be screened from public view by means of solid walls or fences and/or plantings. 11. Signs 8-6 Auguw 9,2000 Palm/Golden west Specific Plan Aera Community Design Guidelines A sign program should identify commercial centers. All signs should be harmonious in scale, form,materials and colors with the project buildings, walls and other structures. Identification signs should be provided for all projects. Such signs shall conform to the sign regulations of the HBZSO pertaining to limitations on size, height, and placement. 12. Articulation The apparent mass of buildings should be reduced by means of articulation, i.e.,the varying of wall planes in depth and/or direction. This also creates visual interest and human-scale outdoor spaces such as patios and terraces. Large blank single-planed walls should be avoided. A combination of one-story to four-story elements should be created within the overall form of commercial buildings in order to provide a variety of :scales and reduce the perceived building mass. Any building mass above the second story should be substantially set back and reduced in size. 13. Ground Floor Interest Commercial and office buildings should be designed so that the ground floor presents an interesting and varied appearance to pedestrians and motorists. This can be achieved by the liberal use of windows, arcades, architectural detailing, wall murals, artwork, and similar design features. 14. Roofs The rooflines on larger buildings with long elevations should be broken up by roof elements of varying height. Tower elements are also used to break up large elevations. Parapet walls can also be used to add variation to the roofline. When a flat roof is used, a parapet or shed roof that is designed to resemble hipped or gabled roofs should screen it. 8-7 August 9,2000 Res.
