SECTION 2. This ordinance is declared to be an ordinance necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health ..,nd safety within the meaning of Section 511 of the City Charter and shall take effectimmediately. The facts constituting such necessi.tj are as follows The .provisions of this ordinance are necessary because AB 889 (Knox) amending the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 was adopted by the state legislature as an emergency measure on December 1, 1972, and said bill brings into effect a one hundred twenty (120) day moratorium upon the environmental impact report requirement of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970. Such moratorium is nonmandatc, and the City Council of Huntington Beach not desiring such moratorium must enact this ordinance as an emergency measure to avoid the effect of this moratorium. Additionally, this ordinance creates the environ- mental review board and the procedures necessa:°y for the imple- mentation of the local environmental impact report policy and enables the environmental review board to ;implement guidelines adopted and approved by the City Council on November 20, 1972. In the absence of this ordinance important decisions hitherto made respecting the need for environmental impact reports for vajor projects which the City has already decided "may have ,;, significant effect upon the environment" will be siAspended and such projects could go forward to construction during the one 6- hundred twenty (120) day moratorium period without environ- mental impact reports. Such result will,be injurious to the environment of this City and the health, safety and welfare of its residents. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this ordinance and shall cause same to be published within fifteen days of its passa3e in the Huntington Beach News , a 'newspaper of general cir- culation, printed and published in Huntington Beach, California.

(National Environmental Policy Act of 1969) , and the E.Q.A. (California Environmental Quality Act of 1970) , and the recent legal interpretations set forth by the California State Supreme Court. WHAT PROJECTS REQUIRE AN E. I .R.? The court holds that a city is required, prior to issuing a permit for any public or private project, to determine first, whether such project or activity "may have a significant effect on the environ- ment." If it can be said that such project or activity his such an effect, the public permit i,s.sui.ng agency must prepare an Environ- mental Impact Report, An E. I .R. short form, full report or exemption 'declaration 2s roquired for any project requiring a permit or other entitlement r use issued by the City, of Huntington Beach. PROCEDURE FOR SUBMITTAL A.ND REVIEW A. Submittal" The following procedural steps ,are suggested for implementation of Any project affected by permit or entitlement a -2- 'actions required by the City `of Huntington Lea,:h. These steps will determine '.he applicability of either an exemption declara- tien or an environmental impact report. 1. Submission of Project Description. This is accomplished by completion of an Interim Short Form E. I.R. obtained from either the Building, Planning or Public i"Torks Departments . This action directly answers the basic question as to whether the project has a significant environmental ims-act. The applicant should expect action on the farm within 10 days from date of filing. 2 . Exemption Declaration Form. Upon completion and review of the above, an Exemption Declaration Form may be filed on the project by the I . I .R. Review Committee. (C`.ee the following "review" procedure.) The applicant will receive a -.opy of this form showing environmental disposition of the project within 10 days from date of falling. B . Review - The E.I.R. Review Committee , composed of the Directors of Planning, Building and Safety, Public Works and Environmental Resources or appointed designees will examine all projects regiliring completior the Short Form E.I .R. to determine whether the environi. al impact will be of such a significance as to require an env..-onment-al impact report. In making this determination, the committee shall use the Interim Environmental Impact Report Outline and will make nne or two findings as follows 1. That the impact on the environment is n,it significant. 2 . That -the proposed project may have a' significant effect on the environment and that an Exempti75. Declaration cannot be granted for this project because it cannot be mitigated or suitable alternatives have nrt been offered.' An E. I .R, is therefore required to be submitted prior to the project's approval The eommittee will insure that the Short Form E. I.R. , Exemption Drclaratio.i, or E. I.R. will be proce-%;.c I concurrently with the permit application to which the form pertains. Whe» a public hearing is required for the application, the notice shall include a reference to the E.I.R. Concurrently, the committee will make available all, Exemption Declarations an.- I .I .R-s on t . weekl • basis in the office of the City Clerk for purposes of public review and input . A list of such Exemption Declarations and J . I .R. s will be available for public inspection in the office of the City Clerk. The public will be afforded ten days for reviev and input prior to consideration of the declaration or report for approval. PREPARATION AND CONTENTS of E. I .R. The City is responsible for the preparation ofEaI ,R. and a final determination, of environmental effect within 30 days of the date _3' upon which a permit was requested. The department that is most closely connected with the permit request should prepare the .report to coincide with .filing of plans and submit the E, I.R. to the Review Committee for disposition. The Director of Environmental Resources will act as staff for the Review Committee. The applicant may be required to submit and prepare an environmental impact study including background information and data required by the department or committee. The city shall prepare the E. I .R. and, in connection therewith, may have the necessary information prepared by a qualified consultant. All the costs of preparation of the E. I .R. including const0 tants shall be borne by the applicant. City may also receive inputs from other appropriate sources, public and private. As to content, listing of the mandatory elements of an environmental impact report is contained in Section 21100 of the Environmental Quality Act of 1970 . The report, pursuant to the Act, must contain a detailed statement setting forth thy; following: 1. The environmental impact of, the proposed action. 2. Any adverse environmental, effects which cannot be avoided if the proposal is implemented. 3. Mitigation measures proposed to minimize the impact. 4. Alternatives to the proposed action. S. The relationship between local short-term uses of mar.'s environ- ment and the maintenance and enhancement of long-term productivity. b . Any irreversible environmental, changes which would be involved in the proposed action should be implemented. Chapter 971 of the Laws of 1972, which is not yet effective, has added two additional mandatory elements for incluAion in impact reports They are as follows 7. The growth-inducing impact of tha proposed action. 8. The boundaries of the .area which may be significantly affected by the proposed action. It is suggested that these additional elements be includi9d in environmental impact reportR in order to eliminate t:tie necessity of revising reports which are formally considered by the City after Chapter 9711s effective date. **This policy supercedes the October 2 , 1972, minute action of City Council on same subject.

CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACIi OUTLINE 1INVIRON3MENTAL IMPACT STUDY In limited cases , some components of this outline may not be applicable, but in general most projects will inv-.Ve most, if not all, of these questions . If not applicable, they should be mentioned as such, otherwise an explanation of probable impact must be made. A. Authority Agency. This paragraph answers the basic questions as to who is the author of the environmental. impact study, what specific govern- mental action requires its preparation, and the background and exlerti.Se of the people involved. Alsn to be included is a brief summary of the data collection tshirique and sources utilized. Estimates should be made as to the reliability of the facts presented. B. Description of Project Area. This summarizes the general locale of the project, its surrounding area, and a legal description sr orientation of the reader or reviewer is guaranteed. C. What is the Description and Purpose of the Project? Section C is to be a thorough analysis of the specific project site, its current and historical uses physical and biotic assets , and the proposed action to be undertaken. A complete explanation of the processes and eventual outcome of the project should be provided. The purpose 'of the project should also be presented. D. Possible Impact Upon Existing Natural Systems . This presents evaluations of the impact the project will, have on the site and its existing natural systems , plus provide a summary of background information on which the evaluations were based. This impact can be beneficial, detrimental, or non-existent, as applied to each case. In each of the specific cases, both the long and short range implications should be discussed. F. Possible Impact Upon Man-Made Facilities . This answers questions as to any required alterations, expansions, or curtailments of existing services provided by government and/or local utility concerns, due to the project. Any possible land 11-13-72 2 use changes in the area which may re:,ult or flow froir,. the project should be analyzed. Evaluations of any change in the costs of public service as a result of these actions or changes should be.made. F. Possible Impact on the Social Environment. This should include an evaluation of the effects of the project on the social and cultural environment of the project area. The questions listed should be evaluated plus any social impact not covered in the checklist, but which might occur if the projec is initiated. Special efforts should be made to explain how the Social Environment will change. G. Are There Possible Adverse Environmental Impacts Which Cannot Be Avoided? ..his section should list all impacts that are unavoidable and why, H. What Effects Will Proposed Construction Have on the Area? Construction Impacts are a particular problem with projects , and they should be presented in this section. I . What Mitigation Measures are Propos-d? Mitigation measures should be thoroughly, discussed, Considera- tion of mitigation measures in project planning should include consideration of not only those mitigating activities as might be accomplished by the person undertaking the project, but also those mitigating activities that might E'e undertaken jointly with other persons or governmental agencies . J: What Environmental Monitoring Programs Are Needed? "Environmental Monitoring" is a desirable goal to insure guide- lines are adhered to wherever possible, for those projects which are capable of producing undue or uncalled for environmental degradation. This section should present a thorough discussion on what efforts of monitoring will be made and by whom. IC. What Alternatives Exist to the Proposed Project? Discuss what alternative actions could be taken or should be considered, including no project. Alternatives should be within. the realm of feasibility although they need not necessarily be feasible or acceptable to the persons or governmental agencies who propose to carry out the project. Consideration should also he given to feasible alternatives that require the cooperatxcn or participation of other persons, the City of. Huntington Beach, or other governmental entities . This topic should not just be a justification discussion ;for the proposed project._ L. What Are the Impacts of Each Alternative Considered? Each feasible alternative should receive essentially the same environmental consideration as is given to the project and the impact produced by each alternative should be analyzed. If "no project" is listed as an alternative, the environmental impact of not undertaking the project should also ba thoroughly discussed. M. What is the Grow4h-:inducing Impact of the Proposed Action? The "growth-inducing impact of the proposed project and the neighborhood or community as a whole should be considered. If the project is proposed to provide or result in a capac ,ty For public services or private activities which are growth inducing, beyond existing needs in the immediate area or community as a whole at the time of such construction, the impact and any possible adverse consequences of such a project must also be considered in the report. N. What are the Boundaries of the Impact Aria? _ Attempts should be made to give a specific description of the impact area and the extent in matters of degree to which various portions of the impact area will be affected by the project. 0. What Comments Have Been Trade by the Public? Any comments made b7 individuals, private companies , citizen groups , local, regional, state, and federal agencies conc4rning the project mus be evaluated in this section. How these comments have been considered in the proposed project should be included. P. What Are the Restrictions on Land Use? List any existing restrictions on land use within the project area which relate 'to environmental concerns (such as floodplains or wildlife habitat) . If restrictions, on the 7 ai d use component or design of the project have been requested by some groups or agency, and have not been implemented in the proposed project design, an expla-;ation should be made.
