HOWEVER,to the right, power and authority hereinafter given to and conferred upon Beneficiary to collect and

A. FOR THE PURPOSE OF SECURING:
1. Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by a promissory note executed by Trustor on
, 20_(the"Note"). The Amount of the indebtedness is the"Transfer Price"of the Property,less
the"Affordable Housing Cost."The calculation of the Amount of the indebtedness is set forth with specificity in
the Note, which is on file with the Economic Development Department of the City of Huntington Beach.
2. Performance of each and every obligation, covenant, promise and agreement of the Resale
Restrictions, as amended by this Deed of Trust.
B. TO PROTECT THE SECURITY OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, TRUSTOR AGREES:
1. Trustor agrees for itself, and its successors and assigns, and every successor to Trustor's
interest in the Property, or any part thereof that for forty-five (45) years from the date this Deed of Trust is
recorded (the "Expiration Date"), to perform all obligations due under the Resale Restrictions, as those
obligations are restated and modified as set forth below:
(a) The Property shall only be owned and occupied by persons or families of"Moderate-Income."
"Moderate-Income" shall mean persons or families earning one hundred twenty percent (120%) or less of
Orange County median income, adjusted for family size.
(b) The Property may only be sold at an"Affordable Housing Cost"to households of"Moderate-
Income," as those terms are defined in current Affordable Housing Regulations as adopted by the City of
Huntington Beach. Generally,those Regulations define Affordable Housing Cost to mean that purchase price
which would result in monthly housing payments which do not exceed Thirty-Five Percent (35%) of one
hundred ten percent(110%)of the current Orange County monthly median income for a household equal to the
number of bedrooms in the unit plus one (1) person. In determining monthly housing payments, the City will
assume principal and interest payments on a conventional home mortgage after paying a ten percent(10%)
down payment. The mortgage interest rate will be the prevailing Fannie Mae thirty(30)year mortgage rate,or
a City-selected equivalent. Monthly housing costs will also include homeowner's association dues, utilities,
homeowner's insurance, maintenance costs and property taxes.
(c) The Trustor shall further comply with the Affordable Housing Guidelines promulgated by the
City for purposes of administering the Affordable Housing Program of the City of Huntington Beach.
(d) No transfer of fee title to the Property shall occur until the City of Huntington Beach determines
(a) that the proposed purchaser intends to occupy the Property as the proposed purchaser's principal
residence, (b)that the proposed purchaser is a person or family of Moderate Income and(c)that the proposed
transfer occurs at an Affordable Housing Cost. The City of Huntington Beach shall not be obligated to approve
a transfer until and unless the proposed purchaser has submitted to the City of Huntington Beach such
information and completed such forms as the City of Huntington Beach shall request to certify the proposed
20586.001-2509175v2 Exhibit"B"—Deed of Trust- Page 2
purchaser's intent with respect to its residency of the Property and its gross income, and the proposed
purchaser has submitted an affidavit disclosing and certifying the amount of the proposed purchase price. Prior
to conveyance of the Property, each approved purchaser shall submit to the City of Huntington Beach an
executed disclosure statement which certifies that the purchaser is aware that the purchaser may only sell the
unit at an Affordable Housing Cost to a Moderate Income person or family, that the maximum permitted sales
price may be less than fair market value and that the unit must be owner-occupied at all times and cannot be
rented or leased.
TRUSTOR AND EACH SUCCESSOR, HEIR OR ASSIGN OF TRUSTOR UNDERSTANDS
THAT THE DETERMINATION OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING COST CAN BE MADE
ONLY AT THE TIME OF THE PROPOSED TRANSFER, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION
INTEREST RATES, THE TERMS OF SALE OFFERED TO AND THE ECONOMIC
CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PROPOSED PURCHASER AND OTHER FACTORS THAT
CANNOT BE ACCURATELY PREDICTED,AND THAT THE TRANSFER PRICE PERMITTED
HEREUNDER MAY BE LESS THAN THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND
MAY NOT INCREASE OR DECREASE IN THE SAME MANNER AS OTHER SIMILAR REAL
PROPERTY WHICH IS NOT ENCUMBERED BY THIS RESTRICTION. TRUSTOR AND
EACH SUCCESSOR,HEIR ORASSIGN OF TRUSTOR FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
AT ALL TIMES IN SETTING THE TRANSFER PRICE THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THE
BENEFICIARY AND THIS DEED OF TRUST IS TO PROVIDE HOUSING TO ELIGIBLE

mortgage or deed of trust or security interest.
4. Trustor has made certain representations and disclosures as a requirement underthe Resale
Restrictions in order to induce Beneficiary to approve the sale of the Property to Trustor. In the event that
Trustor has made any material misrepresentation or failed to disclose any material fact regarding said
transaction, Beneficiary at its option and without notice to Trustor, shall have the right to declare a material
breach of the Resale Restrictions and the Note. Beneficiary may make a written declaration of default and
demand for sale as provided in paragraph No.6 herein set forth. Trustee,upon presentation to it of an affidavit

6. Upon default by Trustor in the obligations of the Note, in the performance of any obligation
under this Deed of Trust or under the terms of any First Lender's Deed of Trust which is or appears to be prior
or superior to this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured by this Deed of Trust immediately
due and payable by delivering to Trustee of a written declaration of default and demand for sale and a written
notice of default and election to sell the Property. Default in the payment of any indebtedness secured by this
Deed of Trust, in the obligation of the Note, or in the performance of any agreement under this Deed of Trust
constitutes a default only under this Deed of Trust and the Note and does not constitute a default under the
First Lender's Deed of Trust. Trustee shall cause the notice of default to be recorded. Beneficiary also shall
deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust, the Note, and all documents evidencing any additional expenditures
secured by this Deed of Trust. After the lapse of such time as then may be required by law following
recordation of such notice of default, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, Trustee,
without demand on Trustor, shall sell the Property at the time and place fixed by it in such notice of sale,
whether as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the
highest bidder qualified under the Resale Restrictions and this Deed of Trust in lawful money of the United
States, payable at time of sale. Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public
announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by
public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser
its Deed conveying the Property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty,express or implied, The recital
in such Deed of any matters of fact shall be conclusive of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including
Trustor, Trustee, or Beneficiary as hereinafter defined, may purchase at such sale. Trustee may also sell at
any such sale and as part thereof any shares of corporate stock securing the obligations secured hereby, and
Trustor waives demand and notice of such sale. (Beneficiary at its option may also foreclose on such shares
by independent pledge sale, and Trustor waives demand and notice of such sale.)After deducting all costs,
fees and expenses of Trustee, and of this Trust, including cost of evidence of title in connection with this sale,
Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment,first; all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then
repaid,with accrued interest at the rate then payable under the First Lender Deed of Trust secured hereby,and
then of all other sums secured hereby, and, if there are any proceeds remaining, shall distribute them to the
person or persons legally entitled thereto.
7. Trustor shall keep the Property in good condition and repair; to allow Beneficiary or its
representatives to enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times,and access thereto shall be permitted

consent of the Beneficiary;to suffer or permit no change in the general nature of the occupancy of the Property
without Beneficiary's written consent; to complete or restore promptly and in good workmanlike manner any
building which may be constructed,damaged or destroyed thereon,including,without restricting the generality
of the foregoing, damage from termites and dry-rot; to pay when due all claims for labor performed and

permit waste thereon; not to commit, suffer or permit any act upon the Property in violation of the law;to paint,
cultivate, irrigate,fertilize, fumigate, prune,and do all other acts that from the character or use of the Property
20586.001-2509175v2 Exhibit"B"—Deed of Trust- Page 5
may be reasonably necessary; and to promptly pay all amounts due others upon agreements of lease or
conditional sale of all fixtures, furnishings and equipment located thereon.
8. Trustor shall provide, and maintain in force at all times with respect to the Property, fire and
other types of insurance as may be required by Beneficiary. All of such insurance shall have a loss payable
endorsement in favor of Beneficiary,shall be for a term and in form,content,amount and in such companies as
may be satisfactory to Beneficiary,and the policies therefore shall be delivered to and remain in possession of
Beneficiary as further security for the faithful performance of these trusts. At least thirty(30)days prior to the
expiration of any such insurance policy,a policy or policies renewing orextending such expiring insurance shall
be delivered to Beneficiary together with written evidence showing payment of the premium therefore and, in
the event any such insurance policy and evidence of the payment of the premium therefore are not so delivered
by Trustor to Beneficiary, Trustor by executing this Deed of Trust specifically requests Beneficiary to obtain
such insurance and Beneficiary, without obligation to do so, without notice to or demand upon Trustor and
without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereof, may obtain such insurance through or from any insurance
agency or company acceptable to it, pay the premium thereof, and may add the amount thereof to the
indebtedness secured hereby, which amount shall bear a like rate of interest. Beneficiary may furnish to any
insurance agency or company, or any other person, any information contained in or extracted from any
insurance policy delivered to Beneficiary pursuant hereto and any information concerning the loan secured
hereby. Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be responsible for such insurance or for the collection of any
insurance monies, or for any insolvency of any insurer or insurance underwriter, In case of insurance loss,
Beneficiary is hereby authorized either(a)to settle and adjust any claim under the insurance policies provided
for in this document without the consent of the Trustor, or (b) to allow Trustor to agree with the insurance
company or companies on the amount to be paid upon the loss. In either case,the Beneficiary is authorized to
collect and make receipt of any such insurance money. If Trustor is obligated to restore or replace the
damaged or destroyed buildings or improvements under the terms of any lease or leases which are or maybe
prior to the lien of this Deed of Trust and such damage or destruction does not result in cancellation or
termination of such lease, such proceeds, after deducting therefrom any expenses incurred in the collection
thereof, shall be used to reimburse the Trustor for the cost of rebuilding or restoring the buildings or
improvements on said premises. In all other cases, such insurance proceeds shall be applied for the cost of
the rebuilding or restoring the buildings or improvements on said premises. Such buildings and improvements
shall be so restored or rebuilt as to be of at least equal value and substantially the same character as prior to
the damage or destruction, and shall be in a condition satisfactory to Beneficiary. Such application or release
shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such
notice. Any and all unexpired insurance shall inure to the benefit of,and pass to the purchaser of,the property
conveyed at any Trustee sale held hereunder. All rights of Trustee and Beneficiary under the provisions of this
Section 8 shall be subject and subordinate to the rights of any senior lender holding a senior lien upon the
Property, including the First Lender's Deed of Trust (as defined below), and, in the event of any conflict
between Section 8 of this Deed of Trust and such senior lien, the senior lien shall control.
9. Trustor shall pay: (a)at least ten (10)days before delinquency,all general and special City and
County taxes, and all assessments on appurtenant water stock,affecting the Property, (b)when due,all special
assessments for public improvements, without permitting any improvement bond to issue for any special

the instrument or instruments creating said leasehold, (e)all costs,fees and expenses of this trust, (f)for any
statement regarding the obligation secured hereby any amount demanded by Beneficiary not to exceed the

maximum allowed by law therefor at the time when such request is made, (g)such other charges for services
rendered by Beneficiary and furnished at Trustor's request or that of any successor in interest to Trustor as the
Beneficiary may deem reasonable.
10. Should Trustor fail to make any payment or do any act as provided in this Deed of Trust, the
Beneficiary or Trustee, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to or demand upon Trustor and
without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereof, may(a)make or do the same in such manner and to such
extent as either may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary or Trustee being authorized to
enter upon the Property for such purposes, (b) commence, appear in, or defend any action or proceeding
purporting to affect the security hereof or the property covered by this Deed of Trust,or the rights or powers of
Beneficiary or Trustee, (c) pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien, which in
the judgment of either is or appears to be prior or superior hereto, and (d) in exercising any such powers, pay
necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay his reasonable fees. Trustor agrees to repay any amount so
expended on demand of Beneficiary, and any amount so expended may be added by Beneficiary to the
indebtedness secured hereby and shall bear a like rate of interest.
11. Trustor shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security
hereof or the Property which is covered by this Deed of Trust,or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee,
and whether or not Trustor so appears or defends,to pay all costs and expenses, including cost of evidence of
title and attorney's fees in a reasonable sum, in any such action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee
may appear by virtue of being made a party defendant or otherwise irrespective of whether the interest of
Beneficiary or Trustee in the Property is directly questioned by such action, including any action for the
condemnation or partition of said premises, and in any suit brought by Beneficiary to foreclose this Deed of
Trust.
12. Trustor shall pay immediately and without demand,all sums expended under the terms of this
Deed of Trust by Beneficiary or Trustee, with interest from the date of expenditure at the rate which the
principal obligation secured hereby bears at the time such payment is made, and the repayment of such sums
shall be secured hereby.
13. Should Trustor or any successor in interest to Trustor in the Property drill or extract,or enter
into a lease for drilling or extraction of oil, gas or other hydrocarbon substances or any mineral of any kind or
character,or sell,convey,further encumber,or alienate the Property,or any part thereof,or any interest therein
in violation of this Deed of Trust or the Note secured hereby,or be divested of his title or any interest therein in
any manner or way,whether voluntarily or involuntarily, Beneficiary shall have the right,at its option,to declare
any obligations secured hereby irrespective of the maturity date specified in any Note evidencing the same,
immediately due and payable, and no waiver of this right shall be effective unless in writing.
14. Any award, settlement or damages for injury or damages to the Property, and any award of
damages in connection with any condemnation for public use of or injury to the Property,or any part thereof, is
hereby assigned and shall be paid to Beneficiary,who may apply or release such monies received by it in such
manner and with the same effect as above provided for the disposition of proceeds of fire or other insurance.
All rights of Trustee and Beneficiary under the provisions of this Section 14 shall be subject to and subordinate
to the rights of any senior lender holding a senior lien upon the Property, including the First Lender's Deed of
Trust(as defined below), and, in the event of any conflict between Section 14 of this Deed of Trust and such
senior lien, the senior lien shall control.
20586.001-2509175v2 Exhibit"B"—Deed of Trust- Page 7
15. By accepting payment of any sums secured by this Deed of Trust after its due date, or by
making any payment, performing any act on behalf of Trustor,that Trustor was obligated hereunder,but failed,
to make, or perform, or by adding any payment so made by Beneficiary to the indebtedness secured hereby,
Beneficiary does not waive its right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or
to declare a default for failure so to pay.
16. At any time, or from time to time, without liability of the Beneficiary or Trustee thereof, and
without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary and presentation of this Deed of Trust and the Note secured
hereby for endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment of the
indebtedness secured hereby, or the lien of the Deed of Trust upon the remainder of the Property for the full
amount of the indebtedness then or thereafter secured hereby, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or the
Trustee with respect to the remainder of the Property, Trustee may: (a) reconvey any part of the Property, (b)
consent to the making of any map or plat thereof; (c)join in granting any easement thereon, (d)join in any
agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.
17. Notwithstanding any other provision herein,this Deed of Trust shall be subordinate to any deed
of trust in favor of an institutional lender to secure repayment of a loan to acquire the Property pursuant to a
transfer of the Property to a"Moderate Income Household"at an"Affordable Housing Cost"(the"First Lender's
Deed of Trust"), provided that such lien is being created in good faith and for value. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary,this Deed of Trust shall also be subordinate to any Refinancing(as defined below)of the
First Lender's Deed of Trust. The holder of any such senior deed of trust(the"First Lienholder")shall agree to
provide Beneficiary with written notice of any default under such senior deed of trust and provide Beneficiary
with not less than ninety (90) days thereafter in which to cure such default before proceeding with any
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Property. Any notice delivered to Beneficiary under
this paragraph shall be delivered in the manner specified in paragraph 7 of the Note. Upon timely cure of the
default under such senior deed of trust and Beneficiary's acquisition, at its election, of Trustor's interest in the
Property, Beneficiary shall have the right to assume the loan secured by such senior deed of trust so long as
Beneficiary maintains ownership of the Property,and,in that event,so long as Beneficiary continues as Trustor,
the First Lienholder shall not exercise any due on sale clause contained in such senior deed of trust. In the
event that Beneficiary fails to timely cure a default under such senior deed of trust and the First Lienholder
proceeds with foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure of such senior deed of trust, then any provisions
herein shall terminate and shall have no further force or effect on subsequent owners or purchasers of the
Property. Beneficiary's Executive Director shall have the authority on behalf of Beneficiary to execute
subordination agreements confirming the above subordination in such form as reasonably approved by the
Executive Director and Beneficiary's legal counsel consistent with the foregoing provisions. For purposes of
this paragraph, "Refinancing" means the execution of any deed of trust in favor of an institutional lender to
secure repayment of a loan,the proceeds of which are used only for the purpose of repaying the First Lender's
Deed of Trust described above or any successor loan executed in connection with refinancing of the prior
encumbrance, provided that the loan is being created in good faith and for value and the amount does not
exceed the then outstanding sum secured by the First Lender's Deed of Trust or a successor loan executed in
connection with refinancing of the prior encumbrance plus reasonable closing costs associated with the
refinancing.
Trustor shall notify Beneficiary in writing within three days of receiving any notice of default,
delinquency or foreclosure with respect to any lien or agreement(including any defaults under the covenants,
conditions and restrictions applicable to the condominium development of which the Property is a part or any
default under the First Lender's Deed of Trust)which could potentially affect Trustor's right,title and interest in
20586.001-2509175v2 Exhibit"B"—Deed of Trust- Page 8
the Property. Beneficiary shall have the option, but not the obligation, to advance any sums due or take any
other actions necessary to stay or cure the default,delinquency or foreclosure,and Beneficiary shall thereafter
be entitled to immediately recover from Trustor and Trustor shall immediately pay to Beneficiary any payments,
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the stay and/or cure, including but not limited to attorneys'fees
and court costs, together with interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date
advanced or incurred until the date repaid.
18. The lien hereof shall remain in full force and effect during any postponement or extension of
time of payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, or any part thereof.
19. As additional security,Trustor irrevocably assigns to Beneficiary the rents,issues,and profits
of the Property for the purposes and upon the terms and conditions set forth below. This assignment shall not
impose upon Beneficiary any duty to produce rents from the property affected by this Deed of Trust,or cause
Authority to be (a) "mortgagees in possession" for any purpose; (b) responsible for performing any of the
obligations of the lessor under any lease; or(c) responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other
parties, for any dangerous or defective condition of the property affected by this Deed of Trust, or for any
negligence in the management, upkeep, or control of such rights to rents, issues and profits and such
assignment is not contingent upon, and may be exercised without possession of,the property affected by this
Deed of Trust.
Beneficiary confers upon Trustor a license("License")to collect and retain the rents,issues and profits
of the property affected by this Deed of Trust as they become due and payable, until the occurrence of a default
hereunder. Upon such default, the License shall be automatically revoked and Beneficiary may collect and
retain the rents, issues and profits without notice and without taking possessions of the property affected by this
Deed of Trust. This right to collect rents, issues and profits shall not grant to Beneficiary or Trustee the right to
possession, except as otherwise provided herein; and neither said right, nor termination of the License, shall
impose upon Beneficiary or Trustee the duty to produce rents, issues or profits or maintain all or any part of the
Property affected by this Trust Deed, If Trustor shall default as aforesaid, Trustor's right to collect any such
money shall cease and Beneficiary shall have the right, with or without taking possession of the property
affected hereby, to collect all rents, issues, royalties and profits and shall be authorized to, and may, without
notice and irrespective of whether declaration of default has been delivered to Trustee and without regard to the
adequacy of the security for the indebtedness secured hereby,either personally or by attorney or agent without
bringing any action or proceeding,or by receiver to be appointed by the Court,enter into possession and hold,
occupy, possess and enjoy the Property, make, cancel,enforce and modify leases, obtain and eject tenants,
and set and modify rents and terms of rents, and to sue, and to take, receive and collect all or any part of the
said rents, issues, and profits of the property affected hereby, and after paying such costs of maintenance,
operation of the Property,and of collection including reasonable attorneys'fees,as in itsjudgment it may deem
proper, to apply the balance upon any indebtedness then secured hereby, the rents, issues, royalties and
profits of the Property being hereby assigned to Beneficiary for said purposes. The acceptance of such rents,
issues, royalties and profits shall not constitute a waiver of any other right which Trustee or Beneficiary may
enjoy under this Deed of Trust or under the laws of California. Failure of or discontinuance by Beneficiary at
any time, or from time to time, to collect any such rents, issues, royalties or profits shall not in any manner
affect the subsequent enforcement by Beneficiary of the right, power and authority to collect the same. The
receipt and application by said Beneficiary of all such rents,issues, royalties and profits pursuant hereto,after
execution and delivery of declaration of default and demand for sale as hereinafter provided, or during the
pendency of Trustee's sale proceedings hereunder, shall not cure such breach or default nor affect sale
proceedings, or any sale made pursuant thereto, but such rents, issues, royalties and profits, less all costs of

applied in reduction of the indebtedness secured hereby, from time to time, in such order as Beneficiary may
determine. Nothing contained herein, nor the exercise of the right by Beneficiary to collect, shall be, or be
construed to be, an affirmation by Beneficiary of any tenancy, lease or option, nor an assumption of liability
under, nor subordination of the lien or charge of this Deed of Trust to, any such tenancy, lease or option.
20. If the security of this Deed of Trust is a leasehold estate,the Trustor agrees that: (a)the term

be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates in any party; (e)Trustor agrees that it
will promptly,strictly,and faithfully perform,fulfill,and comply with all covenants,agreements,terms,conditions
and provisions under any lease affecting the premises and to neither do anything, nor to permit anything to be

person claiming through such lease or the rents provided for therein or the interest of the lessor or the
Beneficiary therein or thereunder. Trustor further agrees he will not execute a Deed of Trust or mortgage which
may be or become superior to any leasehold estate that is security for this Deed of Trust. In the event of a
violation of any of the covenants set forth in this paragraph, Beneficiary shall have the right, at its option, to
declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable. Consent to or waiver of one of said violations
shall not be deemed to be a consent to or waiver of any other violation. If the security for this Deed of Trust is a
leasehold estate, the term "property" as used in this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to mean the leasehold
estate whenever the context so requires for the protection of the Beneficiary.

NOTICE OF AFFORDABILITY RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER OF PROPERTY
(Coastal Walk)
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN by owner of the property located at
, Unit , Huntington Beach, California 92648, and more particularly described in
Exhibit"A" attached hereto (the"Property"or"Unit"), that:
1. The Property is subject to an"Agreement Declaring Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions
for Property(Resale Restrictions)"recorded on ,as Instrument Number No. in
the Office of the County Recorder of the County of Orange,California(the"Resale Restrictions"). Among other
things,the Resale Restrictions limit the price that the Property may be sold at to an"Affordable Housing Cost"
for"Moderate Income Households, as those terms are defined in the Resale Restrictions."
2. The administration of the Resale Restrictions shall be governed by the Affordable Housing
Regulations of the City of Huntington Beach as they exist now and may be amended in the future.
3. In summary, the term "Affordable Housing Cost," means that the purchase price that would
result in monthly housing payments that do not exceed Thirty-Five Percent(35%)of One Hundred Ten Percent
(110%)of the current Orange County monthly median income for a household containing a number of persons
equal to the number of bedrooms in that Unit,plus one. In determining monthly housing payments,the City will
assume principal and interest payments on a conventional home mortgage after paying a ten percent(10%)
downpayment. The mortgage interest rate will be the prevailing Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac thirty(30) year
mortgage rate,or a City-selected equivalent. Monthly housing costs will also include homeowner's association
dues, utilities, homeowner's insurance, maintenance costs and property taxes.
The effect of relying on prevailing interest rates to determine the Affordable Housing Cost is to make
the resale price of the Property sensitive to interest rates. For example, if interest rates rise, the resale price
will fall, and if interest rates fall,the resale price will rise. This could result in the permitted Affordable Housing
Cost sales price decreasing below the original purchase price.
5. The Resale Restrictions imposed on the Property are scheduled to expire on the date which is
Forty-Five (45)Years from the date of recordation of this Notice.
20586.001-2509175v2 Exhibit"C"—Page 1

of the Resale Restrictions.

PROJECT PROPOSAL:
Tentative Tract Map 17930/Conditional Use Permit No. 15-030 represent requests by the Olson Company
for the following.
A. To consolidate two parcels into one 0 829 net acre lot for condominium purposes pursuant to
Section 250.14 of the HBZSO
B To permit the development of a 13 unit condominium subdivision, including a density bonus for
one unit with one incentive for reduced parking pursuant to Section 230 14 of the HBZSO; a
multiple family development that abuts an arterial highway, includes dwelling units more than 150
feet from a public street and includes buildings exceeding 25 feet in height, pursuant to Section
210 04 of the HBZSO.
The project site consists of two parcels, one of which is developed with a single family home and a
daycare facility The other lot contains a play area and storage for the daycare facility The single family
home and daycare facility previously served the adjacent religious assembly to the south Surrounding
and immediately adjacent to the site are multi-family residential uses to the north and west, a religious
assembly to the south and single family residential uses to the east (across Newland Street within the City
of Fountain Valley). The project is proposing one driveway from Newland Street to provide access to the
site. Four detached two-story buildings are proposed throughout the property and are composed of a
mixture of two to four attached residential units. All 13 units are proposed with three bedrooms each.
Open space is provided in a central common area courtyard and private open space for each unit that
consists of a private rear yard, balcony or deck.
The applicant is also requesting a density bonus and one incentive in accordance with State Law and the
HBSZO to construct one additional unit above the allowed density (for a total of 13 units where only 12
would be allowed) and apply a lower parking standard per unit, which would result in the project
containing 2 parking spaces less than what code would require (39 spaces required; 37 proposed). The
PC Staff Report—01/12/16 3 16sr02—Newland Condornimums
Item 16. - 38 HB -408-
applicant is proposing two affordable for-sale units on site, which exceeds the City's affordable housing
requirements for 10% of the total units (total of 15 38% of affordable units). As part of the request for a
density bonus and associated incentive, Olson Company proposes an Affordable Housing Agreement with
the City that establishes two of the 13 units as affordable units for persons and families of moderate
income for a period of 45 years (Attachment No 4).
Study Session
The project was introduced to the Planning Commission (PC) on November 10, 2015, at a study session
The PC inquired about several project-related issues that are identified and expanded upon below:
Onsite Parking Control Measures
As part of the project proposal, the applicant submitted a parking management plan (Attachment No 5)
that will ensure onsite parking spaces will be open and available at all times for vehicular parking There
will be restrictions on utilizing garage areas as storage, as well as specific prohibitions on parking in the
drive aisle or blocking any parking spaces This parking management plan will be included in the
CC&Rs and enforced by the homeowners' association.
Parking Availability in Vicinity
There is no on-street parking on either side of Newland Street between Slater Avenue and Talbert Avenue
due to the bike lanes on the street The nearest on street parking is approximately 100 feet north of Slater
Avenue on the west side of Newland Street
Applicable Affordability Period for Proposed Affordable Units
California Government Code Sections 65915-65918 (generally known as State Density Bonus Law) and
the HBZSO Section 230 26 (Affordable Housing) set the parameters and requirements for the provision of
affordable housing within the City. Both State Law and the HBZSO require a 55-year affordable period
for rental units No specific duration of time is identified in State Law applicable to for-sale units, however
HBZSO Section 230.26(e) 3 requires a 45-year period of affordability for ownership units For-sale units
cannot exceed levels affordable to moderate income households (120% of median income) As part of this
request, the applicant has submitted a draft Affordable Housing Agreement (Attachment No 4) that
complies with both State Law and the HBZSO
Evaluation of Affordab ility Status for Existing Onsite Units
On January 1, 2015, AB2222 became effecting making significant changes to the State's Density Bonus
Law These changes relate to unit replacement requirements and revised affordability periods. The
updated legislation indicates that housing developments will only retain eligibility for density
bonus/incentives if the project replaces low or very low income affordable rental units existing on the
property within five years preceding the date of application. Currently the site contains two residential
type structures (17541 and 17551 Newland Street). The applicant evaluated the two structures and
confirmed that they have not been occupied by low or very low income households, and do not meet the
requirements to qualify as affordable, per AB2222 One of the existing structures has operated as a
daycare since 1998 and has not served as housing within the past 17 years. The second structure has been -
occupied by the same tenant for approximately four years Through working with the property owner, the
applicant procured the renter's 2014 1040 tax form. This document indicates the renter filed as single with
no dependents, with an income of$61,844. This income places him at the moderate income level, above
PC Staff Report—01/12/16 4 16sr02—Newland Condonuruums
HB -409- Item 16. - 39
the median income for a single person household in Orange County Prior to the current tenant, the
residential unit was occupied for several years by a secretary of the adjacent religious assembly, and her
husband, who worked as an air-traffic controller. Due to the time that has elapsed since their tenancy,
neither the applicant nor the owner was able to obtain tax records for this couple to confirm their
combined salaries However, based on their occupations, it is reasonable to assume that the couple would
not have been considered a low or very low income household The apphcant has included this
information in an Affordable Housing Plan letter(Attachment 6)
Waiver/Reduction of Development Impact Fees?
This project does not include any request for a waiver or reduction of development impact fees. The
applicant's only concession request is related to the parking ratio applicable to the project in accordance
with State Law.
Detail Information Required In Proforma
According to HBZSO Section 210.10, any request for modifications to minimum property development
standards needs to be accompanied by a detailed pro-forma, rental guidelines, deed restrictions, and other
types of documentation to demonstrate the need for a reduction of the development standard Requested
modifications may include, but are not limited to, setbacks, parking requirements and open space
Although the HBZSO includes this requirement for modifications to parking requirements, State Density
Bonus Law does not require the submittal of a pro-forma or other documentation to demonstrate the need
for a reduction in the parking standard In this case, State Law takes precedence. Therefore the applicant
only needs to request the parking ratio identified in State Law and the City is obligated to apply this
parking ratio to the entirety of the project An excerpt from State Law is provided below
(p)(1) Upon the request of the developer, no city, county, or city and county shall require a vehicular parking
raho, inclusive of handicapped and guest parking, of a development meeting the criteria of subdivision (b), that
exceeds the following ratios
(A)Zero to one bedroom one onsite parking space
(B) Two to three bedrooms two onsite parking spaces
(C)Four and more bedrooms two and one-half parking spaces
(2)If the total number of parking spaces required for a development is other than a whole number, the number
shall be rounded up to the next whole number For purposes of this subdivision, a development may provide
"onszte parking"through tandem parking or uncovered parking but not through on street parking (GC 65915
Quimby Act Fees (Park Fees)
As required by the Huntington Beach Municipal Code(HBMC 17 76), all Parkland Acquisition and Park
Facilities Development Impact Fees will apply to this project. Currently this impact fee is$13,385/unrt
Provision of Onszte Bicycle Parking
As required by the HBZSO 23120, one bicycle space is required for every four units for multiple family
developments The site plan will be required to be updated prior to issuance of building permits to reflect
the four code-required bicycle parking spaces The applicant is deliberating the exact location of the
required spaces

Item 16. - 40 Hs -410-
,Community Outreach Efforts
During the development review process, the applicant performed community outreach in order to assess
the concerns of the most impacted neighbors (those within a 500' radius of the site), and sought input
during the design process The applicant held two community meetings; one in October 2013, when the
applicant previously controlled the property and was considering a similar site plan, and one in May 2015,
pertaining to this recent proposal. Approximately 15 people attended each meeting and the tone was
supportive The new development was viewed as a way to improve the frontage along Newland Street
and ultimately increase surrounding property values. At these meetings, community members urged the
applicant to develop an appealing architectural plan that would stand out from the surrounding uses.
Neighbors of the site were eager to see new for-sale housing similar to Olson's Coastal Walk project on
Airport Circle. In addition to concerns related to design, neighbors wanted to ensure that the driveway
entry was safe and designed to provide good visibility
The applicant specifically reached out to the property owner immediately west of the site, where there is a
seven to nine foot grade difference between the project site and the adjacent property. The applicant was
never able to make direct contact with this property owner; however,they did have conversations with the
owner of the property to the southwest of the site This neighbor conveyed additional feedback related to
sunlight/shade. Based on these conversations, the architectural design was modified to diminish impacts
to these properties (increased setback along the rear property line and a redesign of the rear units from one
building into two separate buildings). Both of these changes reduce the impacts to privacy as well as
shade/sunlight impacts to the properties west of the site. The applicant has provided a letter detailing their
community outreach efforts (Attachment 7).
Historic Status of Onsite Structures
There are two primary structures on site along with five accessory structures. The two primary structures
consist of a daycare facility (17551 Newland Street) that has been in operation since 1998 and a single
family home (17541 Newland Street) that is a rental unit. Of the five accessory structures, one of them is
a two-car garage serving the rental unit and the other four serve as storage and an outdoor patio for the
daycare facility. In 2014, a Citywide Historic Context and Survey Report was prepared to update the
Historic and Cultural Resources Element(HCRE) of the City's General Plan The purpose of the survey
was to identify, measure, and classify historic sites and structures, and possible candidates for historic
districts as they pertain to the history and events that have contributed to the development of the city's
built environment. Properties that receive a status code of 1-5 are presumed to be "historical resources"
for the purposes of CEQA Properties that receive a status code of 6 or 7 are not historical resources for
the purposes of CEQA unless a qualified professional determines that there is a preponderance of
evidence demonstrating significance. Based on the survey, the daycare facility (17551 Newland Street)
was assigned a status of 7R and the single family home (17541 Newland Street) was assigned a status of
6L Therefore, neither structure is considered a historic resource for the purposes of CEQA
Undergrounding Of Utilities
As required by the Huntington Beach Municipal Code (HBMC 17 64), all existing and new utilities are
required to be undergrounded This requirement applies to all overhead utilities along the project frontage
on Newland Street, including all existing overhead electrical distribution lines (12 kV) and any
communication lines.

General Plan as follows
A. Land Use Element
Obiective LU1 1 Provide for the timing of residential, commercial, and industrial development
coincident with the availability of adequate market demand to ensure
economic vitality.
Obiectwe L U 8 1 Maintain the pattern of existing land uses while providing opportunities for
the evolution, including intensification and re-use, of selected subareas in
order to improve their character and identity
Goal LU9 Achieve the development of a range of housing units that provides for the
diverse economic,physical, and social needs of existing and future residents
of Huntington Beach
Objective L U 9 3. Provide for the development of new residential subdivisions and projects
that incorporate a diversity of uses and are configured to establish a distinct
sense of neighborhood and identity.
Policy L U 9 2 1: Require that all new residential development within existing residential
neighborhoods (i e., infill) be compatible with existing structures.
PC Staff Report—01/12/16 7 16sr02—Newland Condomimums
Item 16. - 42 HB -412-
The proposed project will improve an underutilized and partially vacant property by allowing the
development of residential uses within close proximity to compatible uses The residential project
will implement the residential land use category appropriate for the site's General Plan land use
designation and establish a development consistent with the size, scale, mass and pattern of existing
development in the area The introduction of newly constructed three-bedroom ownership units into
the area provides for home ownership opportunities in an area that contains primarily multiple family
rental units. The surrounding residential uses will benefit with the introduction of newly constructed
housing in the neighborhood as the existing aging structures on site will be removed The
development will provide new housing stock in the area and will potentially attract first-time
homebuyers by providing an expanded opportunity for ownership in the area.
B Urban Design Element
Goal UD 1 Enhance the visual unage of the City of Huntington Beach
Objective UD 1 1 Identify and reinforce a distinctive architectural and environmental image
for each district in Huntington Beach.
The project will enhance the character of the neighborhood and improve property values. The
proposed buildings will be compatible with existing development at similar heights and massing and
incorporate a Spanish-themed architectural palette into the area, providing interest and high-quality
design to the streetscape Common open space central and to the rear of the project combined with
enhanced landscaping will create visual interest from the frontage along Newland Street. Garages and
open parking spaces are primarily located facing away from the street frontages. A decorative paving
treatment frames the drive aisle entry to the site and creates visual interest while also serving as
pedestrian access into the site

Policy 41 Support the use of density bonuses and other incentives, such as fee
deferrals/waivers and parking reductions, to offset or reduce the costs of
developing affordable housing while ensuring that potential impacts are
addressed.
Policy 61 - implement the City's Green Building Program to ensure new development
is energy and water efficient.
The project consists of 13 residential units, which contributes to the City's housing stock. The project
includes a request for a density bonus for one additional unit and one incentive for reduction in parking
standards in exchange for affordable housing as allowed by State Law and the HBZSO. As part of the
request for a density bonus and associated incentive, the applicant is entering into an Affordable Housing
Agreement with the City to establish two of the 13 units as affordable units for persons/families of
moderate income for a period of 45 years The development request as proposed is consistent with the
intent of the policies identified above As such, the project will contribute to the City's overall housing
goals Additionally, sustainable features and construction practices will be incorporated ui the project
includmg energy-efficient lightmg, water efficient plumbing fixtures, recycling of construction waste, and
tankless water heaters.
Zoning Compliance:
This project complies with the requirements of the RM zoning district. A zoning conformance table
(Attachment No. 8) shows an overview of the project's conformance to the development standards In
addition, a list of City Code Requirements of the applicable provisions of the (HBZSO) and Municipal
Code has been provided to the applicant(Attachment No 9).
Density Bonus Request
In March 2007, the City Council adopted a density bonus ordinance (Zoning Code Section 230 14) to
conform to requirements of Government Code Section 65915. Based on the updated density bonus
ordinance, when a developer of a residential property which is zoned and general planned to allow five
or more dwelling units proposes to provide affordable housing, he or she may request a density bonus
and incentives/concessions through a Conditional Use Permit, if the project provides for construction of
one of the following:
a) Ten percent(10%) of the total uruts for lower income households; or
b) Five percent (5%) of the total units for very low income households, or
c) A senior citizen housing development or mobile home park that limits residency based on
age requirements for housing for older persons; or
d) Ten percent (10%) of the total dwelling units in a common interest development
(condominium) for persons and families of moderate income.
The amount of density bonus varies according to the amount by which the percentage of affordable
housing units exceeds the muumum percentage established above. In addition to the density bonus,
eligible projects may receive one to three additional development incentives, depending on the
percentage of affordable units and level of targeted income. According to State Law, available
incentives including reduction in site development standards must be offered by the City to reduce
PC Staff Report—01/12/16 9 16sr02—Newland Condominiums
Item 16. - 44 HB -414-
development/construction costs. Consequently, concessions resulting in lower construction costs are
intended to increase affordable housing opportunities In addition, at the request of the developer, the
City must permit a parking ratio (inclusive of handicapped and guest parking) of 1 space for 0-1
bedroom units, 2 spaces for 2-3 bedroom units, and 2.5 spaces for four or more bedrooms.
It is important to note that a density bonus request pursuant to the provisions contained within the code
cannot be denied unless the project is denied in its entirety.
The RM General Plan Land Use and zoning designations allow 12 units on the 0 829 acre site The
applicant is proposing two affordable for-sale units for persons and families of moderate income, which
would provide 15 38% of the total dwelling units as affordable units As allowed by State Law and the
HBZSO, the applicant is requesting a density bonus and one incentive to construct one additional unit
above the allowed density (for a total of 13 units where only 12 would be allowed) and apply a lower
parking standard per unit, which would result in the project containing 2 parking spaces less than what
code would require(39 spaces required, 37 proposed).
Based on State Law and HBZSO, the amount of density bonus to which the applicant is entitled varies
according to the amount by which the project's percentage of affordable housing exceeds a base
percentage identified in State Law. For housing developments meeting the moderate-income criteria (a
development providing at least 10% of the total dwelling units in a common interest development for
persons and families of moderate income), the base density bonus of 5% shall be increased by 1% for
every 1% increase in the percentage of moderate-income units over 10%, with a maximum density bonus
of 35% As required by State Law and the HBZSO, all fractional amounts shall be rounded up. The
applicant is proposing 15 38% (16%) of the total dwelling units at a moderate-income affordability level.
Based on State Law and the HBZSO, and as illustrated in the Density Bonus Chart below, this project is
entitled to a density bonus of 11% based on the affordable unit percentage proposed Therefore the
allowed density for this request is 16.65 du/acre With this density bonus allowance and based on the net
acreage of the property, the applicant is entitled to construct 13 8, or 14, dwelling units. Since the request
is for the construction of 13 units resulting in a density of 15 68 du/acre, the applicant's request is
consistent with State Law and the HBZSO

The applicant has requested that the City permit a parking ratio (inclusive of handicapped and guest
parking) of 2 spaces for 3 bedroom units, in accordance with State Law This ratio would result in a
parking requirement of 26 spaces for the proposed 13 three bedroom units The parking table below
illustrates the difference between the parking requirements of the HBZSO and State Law, and the
amount of parking being provided for the project. Although the City is applying the State Law parking
ratio, the applicant is providing 37 spaces for the development, in excess of the minimum parking
requirements. Instead of a reduction of 13 spaces as allowed by State Law, a reduction of two spaces
is being proposed Since the request is to allow 37 spaces and is more than the minimum requirement of
26 spaces for the project, the applicant's request is consistent with State Law and the HBZSO

Urban Design Guidelines Conformance:
The character of the development is consistent with the existing neighborhood in size, scale and massing
of other residential structures in the vicinity The project creates visual interest along the street frontage
by incorporating enhanced landscaping and paving, providing a variety of trees,as well as functional open
space in one common area and private yards, and maintains high quality architectural design. Grading
will be minimized by filling low areas and maintaining the existing grade of the site. Two-story massing
of the buildings create a proportional scale to the street and surrounding uses Furthermore, roof lines are
segmented and building facades contain wall offsets and decorative features to vary the overall horizontal
context of the buildings Balconies are appropriately inserted to break up the massing and wall planes are
adorned with wood trim, tile, shutters, and wrought iron decorative details. Decorative paving is
integrated at the site entry as a pedestrian walkway along the main drive aisle, creating a safe and visually
attractive pedestrian access. Common open space area is sited centrally within the property to maximize
accessibility and use by residents. Overall the layout of the development provides efficient access for
both pedestrians and vehicles and the buildings will be constructed of quality architecture and colors.

ANALYSIS:
Compatibility with Surrounding Uses and Compliance with HBZSO/Subdivision Map Act
The proposed two-story development will be compatible with the nearby and surrounding properties
Properties to the north are developed with two and three story multiple family dwellings and properties to
the west are developed with single story multiple family dwellings (duplexes) Although the adjacent
duplexes are single story and there is an 8-10 foot grade difference between the project site and the
adjacent properties, the applicant increased the setback along this property line to 12 feet along most of
this elevation to provide a larger buffer between the new homes and the property line The applicant also
placed the common area central to and adjacent to this property line to further minimize any impacts
related privacy, shade and/or shadow to the adjacent properties The architecture is traditional Spanish
and incorporates stucco, the roof, and various building offsets and earth-tone colors. It is designed to be
consistent in massing and scale with structures in the neighborhood. The project will also include
sustainable design features and construction practices such as energy-efficient lighting, water fixtures,
drip irrigation, and recycling of construction waste
The site is relatively flat with an approximate two-foot grade difference (sloping generally from south to
north) As mentioned previously, there is an 8-10 foot grade difference between the project site and the
properties to the west There is also a 0-3 foot grade difference along the northerly property line with the
adjacent properties (the grade difference increases in a westerly direction) Minimal grading is proposed
to level the site for building placement and accommodate on site drainage. At most, an approximate two-
foot difference between the existing grade and new pad elevations would occur for the two northerly
buildings and less than a foot difference for the two southerly buildings There is existing retaining/block
wall along the north property line and an existing retaining wall topped with a wooden fence along the
west property line. The applicant is proposing to remove and replace the existing walls to the north and
west(with property authorization) with a maximum four and one half-foot high retaining wall topped with
a six-foot high block wall along the north property line and a maximum four foot high retaining wall
topped with a six-foot high block wall along the west property line To maintain a consistent grade across
the property, a maximum of two feet of fill will occur along portions of the north part of the subject site.
Although the multiple family development abuts an arterial highway, includes units more than 150 feet
from Newland Street, and has buildings at a height of 29 feet, attention to architectural detail, landscape
and hardscape treatments are consistent throughout the site. The single ingress/egress point safely
accommodates the 13 -condominium units, including emergency and trash pickup access, while not
introducing excessive access points on the arterial Additionally, the proposed height of the project is
consistent with the two and three story multiple family buildings immediately to the north of the site and
nearby to the south of the site
PC Staff Report—01/12/16 13 16sr02—Newland Condominiums
Item 16. - 48 xs -418-
The proposed project conforms to applicable code requirements and has been designed to be compatible
with existing uses in the vicinity. The project's building scale, architecture, site layout and color palette
will complement the surrounding developments
Density Bonus Request and Parking Reduction Concession
The proposed density bonus and parking concession for the project complies with both State Law and the
BBZSO. The proposed density bonus would yield one additional unit above the allowed density(13 units
instead of 12), resulting in a density of 15.68 dwelling units per acre The applicant's request for a
parking concession (which requires the City to apply a reduced parking calculation to the entire project)
would result w a parking requirement of 26 spaces for the project The applicant is proposing 37 spaces,
only two spaces less than what would be required by Code (approximately a 5% reduction). Except for
the density bonus and parking concession, the project complies with all provisions of the Code and is
consistent with the intent of the General Plan The request includes a parking management plan that will
be recorded on the property and enforced by the home owners' association to ensure the availability of
on-site parking for residents and guests for the project. Given the minor nature of the reduction in parking
and the parking management plan that will be implemented, staff believes the use will not be detrimental
to the welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity Additionally, the project, inclusive of the
density bonus, can be adequately served by local utility systems (water, sewer, storm drain) and will not
have a significant or adverse impact on traffic volume, school enrollment or recreational resources in the
area As designed, the project is compatible with the physical character of the surrounding area.
Architectural Design and Site Layout
Staff believes the proposed development is well designed and appropriate for the subject site based on the
applicable zoning, surrounding uses and the physical characteristics of the lot The project, as proposed,
achieves substantial conformance with the City's Urban Design Guidelines for multi-family residential
projects Visual interest is provided along the street frontage and access road around within the site with
the incorporation of building projections in the facades, balconies with open railing, varied roof lines,
accent colors and two-story massing elements. Decorative paving along the entry aisle creates an inviting
experience for visitors and residents while creating visual interest on the site Buildings are arranged in
clusters ranging from two to four units Adequate parking is provided within 11 open guest spaces and
two-car garages per unit Furthermore, the project also provides usable open space and landscaping in
substantial excess of the code required minimum The development features one common open space
area on the property with sufficient access for all residents and designed to appeal to the sensory system
The common open space consists of a seating area, tile-accented fountain, and colorful plantings
Furthermore, each dwelling unit is provided with private open space areas consisting of either a private
rear yard, balcony and/or deck The common open space is centrally located within the site for maximum
access and the placement and arrangement of buildmgs provide for a functional and attractive design
Staff supports the proposed project's site layout, design, and architecture because it results in a
development that will be compatible with the physical character of the surrounding multi-family
residential areas

underutilized parcels of land with a development consistent with the underlying General Plan land use
and zoning designations The proposed residential use is similar to those existing uses in the vicinity.
The project will not result in any adverse or significant environmental impacts including traffic, noise,
lighting, aesthetics, and hazardous materials. The project will have adequate setback buffers from
adjacent residential uses and have two-story massing along the street edge to maintain proportion with
the pedestrian scale. Proposed improvements include enhanced landscaping, decorative paving, and
quality architectural design throughout the site. Furthermore, the layout of the site improves the
visual surroundings by providing efficient drive aisles for vehicular access, safe pedestrian access with
decorative paving, and minimizing the visibility of parking garages and parking spaces from the street.
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding residential and religious assembly
uses in terms of setbacks, onsite parking, lot coverage, and allowable building height Architectural

or adverse impact on traffic volume, school enrollment or recreational resources in the area As
designed, the project is compatible with the physical character of the surrounding area and the intent
of the General Plan
5 The granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan It is consistent
with the intent of General-Plan Land Use Element designation of Residential-Medium Density. In
addition, it is consistent with the following goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan.
A Land Use Element
Objective LU 1 1: Provide for the timing of residential, commercial, and industrial development
coincident with the availability of adequate market demand to ensure
economic vitality.
Ohlective L U 8 1 Maintain the pattern of existing land uses while providing opportunities for
the evolution, including intensification and re-use, of selected subareas in
order to improve their character and identity.
Goal LU9 Achieve the development of a range of housing units that provides for the
diverse economic,physical, and social needs of existing and future residents
of Huntington Beach
Objective L U 9 3 Provide for the development of new residential subdivisions and projects
that incorporate a diversity of uses and are configured to establish a distinct
sense of neighborhood and identity
Policy LU9 2 1 Require that all new residential development within existing residential
neighborhoods(i.e, infill)be compatible with existing structures
The proposed project will improve an underutilized and partially vacant property by allowing the
development of residential uses within close proximity to compatible uses The residential project
will implement the residential land use category appropriate for the site's General Plan land use
designation and establish a development consistent with the size, scale, mass and pattern of existing
development in the area The introduction of newly constructed three-bedroom ownership units into
the area provides for home ownership opportunities in an area that contains primarily multiple family
rental units The surrounding residential uses will benefit with the introduction of newly constructed
housing in the neighborhood as the existing aging structures on site will be removed. The
development will provide new housing stock in the area and will potentially attract first-time
homebuyers by providing an expanded opportunity for ownership in the area.

The project will enhance the character of the neighborhood and improve property values. The
proposed buildings will be compatible with existing development at similar heights and massing and
incorporate a Spanish-themed architectural palette into the area, providing interest and high-quality
design to the streetscape. Common open space central and to the rear of the project combined with
— enhanced landscaping will create visual interest from the frontage along Newland Street. Garages and
open parking spaces are primarily located facing away from the street frontages. A decorative paving
treatment frames the drive aisle entry to the site and creates visual interest while also serving as
pedestrian access into the site.
