In response to your letter of July 18, 1980, concerning the "banking" of
affordable credits, this is to inform you that the State Hous`i.ng Interpretive
Guidelines contain no provisions for the banking of affordable units credit.
Secondly, as this project is for senior citizens housing, there is no
requirement for the provision of affordable units, thus , there is nothing
to be banked. . _

Mr. Edward D. Selich
Assistant Director of Planning and Environmental Resources
City of Huntington Beach
P. 0. Box 190
i Huntington Beach, California 92648
Dear Mr. Selich: .
I wish to advise you that on July 15, 1976, I inspected the sites of
the following projects in the city of Huntington Beach:
l) Day Care Center at Gill School (near McFadden and Goldenwest)
2) Handicapped Pool Facility at Oceanview High School (near
j Warner and Goddard) o
3) Community Service Center at Bushard and Souro Oka schools
4) Storm drain improvements (Delaware St. , Adams to Yorktown)
5) Outdoor recreation facilities at the Senior Citizens'
Center (17th St. and Orange)
6) Redevelopment planning for downtown area
7) Shamel Ash tree removal program (citywide)
Each project was evaluated using National Register Criteria and
it was determined that .none of the projects would have any impact
on any site currently on the National Register of Historic Places
or potentially qualifying for National Register designation. It
was also determined that no locally designated historic or architec-
turally significant sites would be impacted by the projects.
I would like to call your attention to the fact that the Oceanview
High School campus has been the site of archaeological digs and
consequently there is a strong possibility. that the construction of
the handicapped pool, to be located on the campus, may unearth archaeo-
logic finds. This potential should be anticipated in your construction
I planning. The only other project containing that sort of .possibility
is the construction of storm drain improvements on Delaware Street
i
i

but I am not aware of any "signi"ficant ar..chaeologic ,sites in that
immediate vicinity.
The planning of the downtown redevelopment area in itself.obviously
has no impact on any historic or architecturally si_gnificent sites,
but it is possible -that the results of the study may Have such an
impact. Consequently, the study should carefully assess that possi-
bility.. Likewise, the removal of the Shamel 'Ash trees from street
parkways throughout the city would not appear to have an impact
on any historic or architecturally signif:icent sites although it
was impossible to .inspect each individual tree.
If you have any questions about any of the above, please feel free
to gi.ve me a ca 1.

Dear Mr. Kohler:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Second Year Housing
Community Development Block Grant Projects in the City of Huntington Beach,
Orange County.
i
No California State Historical Landmarks, State Points of Historical Interest,
or sites on the National Register of Historic Places are currently. listed in
the vicinity of the proposed projects.
Thank you for transmitting the historical survey report prepared by Mr. Eric
Lassen, A.I.A. Chapter Preservation Officer, which verified that there are no
properties eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.
The Office of Historic Preservation, however, concurs with Mr. Lassen's
recommendation that the proposed downtown redevelopment study should identify .
important cultural properties and carefully assess possible impacts upon
historically and architecturally significant sites.
In addition, an archeological sites record investigation should be conducted
and a qualified archeologist should be consulted regarding the identified
archeological sites at the Oceanview High School campus, You may wish to
consult the Archeological Survey; University of California at Los Angeles,.
Los Angeles, California 90024 (213) 825-7411 . Our Office would appreciate
the opportunity to view the final archeological survey report.
Please do not hesitate to contact Eugene Itogawa of this office should you
require further assistance regarding this matter._

Acreage:. 3..64 acres library
1. 0 SUGGESTED ACTION:
Recommend adoption of the O1d. Civic Center Specific .Plan No. 79=1 to
the City Council and recommend certification of EIR 79-1 as adequate
and in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, 1970
to the City Council.
2. 0 GENERAL INFORMATION
This is a City-sponsored request to change the zoning on the Old Civic
Center Site from CF-C (Community Facility - Civic Center) to . a Specific
Plan. designation.
The site is bounded by Main Street (340 ' ) 5th Street (5061 ) , Orange
Avenue (2501 ) , and 6th Street - (7601) , . and contains approximately
3 .64 acres.
3. 0 SUMMARY OF ISSUES:
1 . Potential loss of open space
2. Compatibility with surrounding land uses .
3. Compatibility with Downtown revitalization efforts.
4 . 0 . ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
Pursuant: to the .environmental . regulations in effect at this time, an
initial study for this action was completed by Development Services
A-FM-23A
Old Civic Center Specific Phan No. 79-1/EIR .79=1
Page Two
staff and a determination was made that an EIR would .be required. The
firm. of Pacific Environmental Services of Santa Monica was placed under
contract to prepare the document. .
The Draft Environmental Impact Report was designed to assess the
potential impacts of all actions attendant to the development of the
Old Civic Center Site including the zone change, conditional use
permit, demolition of .existing structures, . new construction, and
operation of new facilities . The draft document was complete in
August, 1979 and underwent the mandatory 45 .day review period from
August 23, 1979 to October 8, 1979. All comments received during
this period are incorporated in the Final Environmental Impact
Report as.. an Appendix and this document was transmitted to the Plan-
ning Commission on November 16, 1979 .
5. 0 SURROUNDING LAND USE ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION:
The subject site is located on the southwest corner of Main Street
and 5th Street, is currently zoned CF-C (Community-Facility - Civic
Center) , and has a General Plan designation of Mixed Development .
The property is currently occupied by municipal buildings used for
storage and leased office.-space, the Huntington Beach Community
Clinic, the .Main .Street Branch Library. The property to the north
and east of the site (across Main Street and 5th Street). is zoned
C-3 and carries a General Plan designation of Mixed Development.
This property is currently developed with mixed commercial uses .
The. property to the south of the site (across Orange Avenue) , is zoned
R-4 (High Density Residential) and carries a General Plan designation
of Medium Density Residential . The property to the west of the site
(across 6th St. ) is zoned Townlot Specific Plan and carries a General .
Plan designation of Low Density .Residential . This property is
currently developed with Low Density Residential uses .
6. 0 ANALYSIS•
The 3.64 acre subject site was the location of the City ' s Civic Center
until 1974 when City offices were moved to the current location. The
site is still occupied by the Memorial Hall (used for storage) . The
Fire Station (leased to Manpower.- and Legal Aid) , the old Administrative
Building, the Main Street. Branch Library, and the Huntington Beach
Community Clinic. However, these structures (except for the Library and
Clinic) are underutilized and due to the age, condition, and questionable
seismic resistance of these buildings, it is unlikely that more intensive
use of them is possible. In addition, these buildings occupy a small
share of the. total site and rezoning of the site will permit recycling
to a higher intensity of mixed uses . The proposed Specific Plan assures,
however, that sufficient open space will be retained and will permit
use of the site in a manner that will aid the City ' s efforts to revitalize
the Dow' ntown .area without conflicting with stable residential uses sur-
rounding the site.
Old Civic Center Specific Plan No. 79-1/EIR 79-1
Page Three
The- land uses permitted by the proposed Specific Plan include multi-
family housing, limited service commercial, and public facilities
and .the ordinance would require landscaping and sign controls as .
required by existing ordinances. The proposed ordinance also requires
a conditional use permit for all activities on Site 1- and the Plan-
ning Commission will have the opportunity to. review the project at the
time a conditional use permit application is filed and presented for .public hearing.
The subject property is designated in the General Plan as Mixed
Development so the proposed zone change would be consistent .with the
General Plan and therefore, staff is recommending that the proposed
Specific Plan be forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation

INFORMATION FOR PERMIT APPLICANTS
AND INTERESTED PARTIES
ON REGIONAL COMMISSION PERMIT PROCEDURES
Attached is an application for a permit from the South Coast Regional Commission. This
information summarizes the requirements and procedures of the Regional Commission and is
designed to help you complete the attached form.
I.. WHAT KINDS OF PROJECTS NEED A PERMIT
The California Coastal Act of 1976 requires that a coastal permit be issued for almost any
activity which involves modification of the existing conditions within the coastal zone,
except most modifications to existing single-family dwellings. Under the Coastal Act,
"development" includes: "On land, in or under water, the `placement 'or erection of any solid
material or structure; discharge or disposal of any dredged material or of any gaseous,
liquid, solid. -or thermal waste; grading, removing, dredging, mining, or extraction of any
materials; change in the density or intensity of use of land, including but not limited to,
subdivision pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act (commencing with Section 64410 of the Govern-
ment Code), and any other division of land, including lot splits, except where the land divi-
sion is brought about in connection with the purchase of such land by a public agency for
public recreation use; change in the intensity of use of water, or of access thereto; con-
struction, reconstruction, demolition, or alteration of the size of any structure, including
any facility of any private, public or municipal utility; and the removal or harvesting of
major vegetation other than for agricultural purposes, kelp harvesting, and timber opera-
tions which are in accordance with a timber harvesting plan submitted pursuant to the pro-
visions of the Z'berg-Nejedly Forest Practice Act of 1973 (commencing with Section 4511).
As used in this section, 'structure' includes but is not limited to, any building, road,
pipe, flume, conduit, siphon, aqueduct, telephone line, and electrical power transmission
and distribution line".
The "coastal zone" means generally all ocean areas within the State's jurisdiction and land
areas from the mean high tide line of the sea to a line established by the Legislature and
shown on maps available in the Commission's office, and at City and County Building
Inspection Departments.
Generally, a permit is not required for repairs and improvements to existing single-family
dwellings. However, if the home is located :between the mean high tide line and the first
through parallel public road as defined by the Commission or within 300 feet of the inland
extent of any beach, a permit is required for certain types of improvements, including all
new second-story additions. There are other .exceptions to the exemption for additions to
single-family dwellings as well. Contact the Regional Commission office at one of the
above telephone numbers if you have any doubt as to whether a particular development needs
a permit.
II. TYPES OF AGENDAS
A. Administrative Permits. This is a permit that the Executive Director approves pro-
vided it does not exceed $25,000 for alterations or modifications; does not exceed
$20,000 for new projects.
No 21-day waiting' period is required for processing of these permits. Normally, seven
days are required for noticing, then the application is placed on an agenda.
* The following information lists and application form were adopted by the California Coastal
Commission on July 5, 1978 in order to comply with Government Code Section 65940 (AB 884).
83078 I-1 '
Administrative permits are, upon completion of the review of the administrative permit
agenda, automatically approved by the Commission unless two or more Commissioners object
to an item. If two or more Commissioners object, the application is then rescheduled
for an individual hearing before the Commission.
B. Consent Calendar Without Conditions. Applications that are "de minimus" by the
Commission staff are placed on this calendar.
No consent calendar item can be placed on an agenda until the item has been accepted for
filing and a 21-day waiting period has passed.
If three or more Commissioners feel that an item should be removed for further investiga-
tion, the item is ordinarily removed from the agenda and rescheduled for an individual
public hearing at a later date. Items remaining on the consent agenda are approved by
the Commission taking a single vote to approve all consent items remaining on the agenda.
C. Consent Calendar With Conditions. Applications that are felt not to conform to
Commission criteria, but that can be brought into conformance by placing minimal condi-
tions on the permit are placed on this agenda.
The same general procedures as outlined in "B" above are carried out.
D. Individual Public Hearings. Applications that require individual analysis are
scheduled for individual hearings, after the 21-day waiting period prescribed by the
Coastal Act.
The procedure in these cases is that the staff prepares an analysis of the proposed
development and sends it to the applicant, the Commissioners and the local government
and anyone who is interested in the project.
Each individual hearing requires a separate vote by the Commission to approve, deny
or condition the development.
HEARING PROCEDURES:
A. Administrative/Consent Agendas. The Commission reviews all listed projects and may
ask the staff or applicant for any additional information it so desires.
After the Commission's review, projects are called to the audience by permit number.
Anyone wishing to object to a permit or to proposed conditions should do so at this
point. Applicants who accept the conditions need not speak.
For opponents, the purpose is to convince two or more Commissioners on administrative
agenda and three or more Commissioners on consent agenda to remove the item to an indivi-
dual hearing where the project can be more thoroughly examined.
For applicants objecting to conditions, remarks should be directed to the conditions and
reasons why they should not be imposed.
Both applicants and opponents will receive only three minutes for any item described
in "A" above.
B. Individual Public Hearings. The staff will make a short oral presentation of the
case which will be followed by questions of the staff by any Commissioner. Thereafter,
the order is:
. .. .10 minutes total for the applicant and others in support of the project.
... .10 minutes total for opponents of the project.
.. ..5 minutes for rebuttal by the applicant only.
.. . .Close Public Hearing.
.. . .Questions by Commissioners
. .. .Voting I-2
III . CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING COMPLETENESS OF APPLICATION
An application shall be determined to be complete for filing if the applicant provides:
1. All the information required in PART A of the application relevant to the particular
development proposed; and
2. Such information in PART B of the application as the Executive Director considers neces-
sary to commence processing of the application for the particular development proposed.
It is not necessary for an applicant to provide all the information needed to make findings
under the Coastal Act of 1976 and California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 prior to
having an application accepted as complete. However, the applicant shall, in accordance
with the applicant's burden of demonstrating the consistency of the proposed project with
the Coastal Act, be -required to provide information sufficient for making the required find-
ings prior to final action on the permit request.
IV. GUIDELINES FOR PERMIT PROCESSING
The State Commission has formally adopted State-Wide Guidelines pertaining to (1) Geologic
Stability of Bluff-Top Developments, (2)' View Protection, (3) Public Rights of Access,
(4) Public Trust Lands, (5) Siting New Development, (6) Land Divisions, and (7) Housing
Opportunities. In addition, State Commission Interim Guidelines have been adopted for the
South Coast Region. Copies of these guidelines can be obtained at the Regional and State
Commission offices.
V. FILES AND AGENDAS
The files on any project may be reviewed in the Regional Commission offices prior to the
hearing day. Files for items on any agenda are present at the hearing and may be reviewed
that day. Removal of any item from the file is subject to criminal prosecution. Agendas
are published on an average of fourteen days prior to the hearing date and are also avail-
able on hearing day.
Applicants may remove an item from the agenda as follows;
1. By contacting the Commission office in writing at least two working days prior to a
scheduled hearing day and agreeing to waive the 42-day hearing time.
2. By appearing before the Commission at the scheduled hearing day and agreeing to waive
the 42-day hearing time. . If opposition is present, the Commission may, at its option,
open the hearing and take opponents' statements at this time.
3. All such requests must be in writing.
VI . CONTINUATION OF VOTING
An applicant may, upon completion of the public hearing, request that the item be continued
for voting at a subsequent meeting. One such request for any reason is the applicant's
right. Any subsequent requests by the applicant must show cause for the request and is
subject to Commission approval.
I-3
• . l
VII. WITHDRAWAL OF APPLICATION. OR REMOVAL FROM ACTIVE CONSIDERATION
Applicants may request removal from active consideration per paragraph V or at any time
before a final vote is taken. This means that when the applicant wishes to reactivate the
application, another 21-day waiting period and notice to property owners and occupants
within 100 feet will be required. An applicant may also withdraw the application entirely.
In that event an applicant must resubmit the application in order for it to be considered
by the Regional Commission.
VIII. APPEALS
Any person may become an aggrieved party and file an appeal of the Regional Commission's
decision with the State Commission provided they meet one of the following criteria:
1. Entered a letter or other suitable means of objection with the Commission prior to the
hearing, or would have expressed concern but for extraordinary cause was unable to do so.
2. Appeared in person before the Commission to object to the project.
Appeal forms may be obtained in the Commission offices or at the hearing from the staff.
Appeals must reach the State Commission by the close of working hours on the tenth working
day after the Regional Commission decision. There is no fee for appealing a decision of
the Regional Commission to the State Commission.
IX. TIME FRAME FOR COMMISSION ACTION OF APPLICATION
The law provides that once a completed permit application has been accepted by the Regional
Commission for filing, the Regional Commission is to give the public full notice of the
application and is to schedule a public hearing on it. The hearing is to be set not less
than 21 days nor more than 42 days after the application has been filed. Once the public
hearing has been concluded, the Regional Commission is to act on the application within
21 days. Independent of any of the above time limits, State law (1) requires a final
decision on a permit request within 180 days of accepting an application as filed, and
(2) allows the opportunity for one extension of that deadline up to 90 days. The Regional
Commission's action will become final on the tenth working day after its decision has been
made unless an appeal is filed with the State Commission within that time.
X. PERMIT APPLICATION FORM
The application form is designed to (a) give you an opportunity to fully describe your
project and explain why you believe a permit should be granted for it, and (b) to give
the Regional Commission members full information about the project to assist them in
reaching a decision.
This form has been designed to apply to many types of projects, so some of the questions
may not be applicable to your specific project. Please answer all the questions in PART A,
and those questions in PART B that apply to your project. In addition, you should feel
free to attach any additional information you believe important.
Remember, please do not hesitate to call the Commission staff if you have any questions
about the Commission procedures and requirements for obtaining permits.

* INFORMATION FOR PERMIT APPLICANTS
AND INTERESTED PARTIES
ON REGIONAL COMMISSION PERMIT PROCEDURES
Attached is an application for a permit from the South Coast Regional Commission. This
information summarizes the requirements and procedures of the Regional Commission and is
designed to help you complete the attached form.
I . WHAT KINDS OF PROJECTS NEED A PERMIT
The California Coastal Act of 1976 requires that a coastal permit be issued for almost any
activity- which involves modification of the existing conditions within the coastal zone,
except most modifications to existing single-family dwellings. Under the Coastal Act,
''development" includes: "On land, in or under water, the placement 'or erection-of any solid
material or structure; discharge or disposal of any dredged material or of any gaseous,
liquid, solid, or thermal waste; grading, removing, dredging, mining, or extraction of any
materials; change in the density or intensity of use of land, including but not limited to,
subdivision pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act (commencing with Section 64410 of the Govern-
ment Code), and any other division of land„ including lot splits, except where the land divi-
sion is brought about in connection with the purchase of such land by a public agency for
public recreation use; change in..the intensity of use of water, or of access thereto; con-
struction, reconstruction, demolition, or alteration of the size of any structure, including
any facility of any private, public or municipal utility; and the removal or harvesting of
major vegetation other than for agricultural purposes, kelp harvesting, and timber opera-
tions which are in accordance with a timber harvesting plan submitted pursuant. to the pro-
visions of the Z'berg-Nejedly Forest Practice Act of 1.973 (commencing with Section 4511).
As used in this section, 'structure' includes but is not limited to, any building, road,
pipe, flume, conduit, siphon, aqueduct, telephone line, and electrical power transmission
and distribution line".
The "coastal zone" means generally all ocean areas within the State's jurisdiction and land
areas from the mean high tide line of the sea to a line established by the Legislature and
shown on maps available in the Commission's office, and at City and County Building
Inspection Departments.
Generally, a permit is not required for repairs and improvements to existing single-family
dwellings. However, if the home is located between the mean high tide line and the first
through parallel public road as defined by the Commission or within 300 feet of the inland
extent of any beach, a permit is required for certain types of improvements, including all
new second-story additions. There are other -exceptions to the exemption for additions to
single-family dwellings as well. Contact the Regional Commission office at one of the
above telephone numbers if you have any doubt as to whether a particular development needs
a permit.
II . TYPES OF AGENDAS
A. Administrative Permits. This is a permit that the Executive Director approves pro-
vided it does not exceed $25,000 for alterations or modifications; does not exceed
$20,000 for new projects.
No 21-day waiting period is required for processing of these permits. Normally, seven
days are required for noticing, then the application is placed on an agenda.
* The following information lists and application form were adopted by the.California Coastal
Commission on July 5, 1978 in order to comply with Government Code Section 65940 (AB 884).
83078 Z-1
Administrative permits are, upon completion of the review of the administrative permit
agenda, automatically approved by the Commiss:ton unless two or more Commissioners object
to an item. If two or more Commissioners object, the application is then rescheduled
for an individual hearing before the Commission.
B. Consent Calendar Without Conditions. Applications that are "de minimus" by the
Commission staff are placed on this calendar.
No consent calendar item can be placed on an agenda until the item has been accepted for
filing and a 2 1-day waiting period has passed.
If three or more Commissioners feel that an item should be removed for further investiga-
tion, the item is ordinarily removed from the agenda and rescheduled for an individual
public hearing at a later date. Items remaining on the consent agenda are approved by
the Commission taking a single vote to approve all consent items remaining on the agenda.
C. Consent Calendar With Conditions. Applications that are felt not to conform to
Commission criteria, but that can be brought into conformance. by placing:"minimal condi-
tions on the permit are placed on this agenda.
The same general procedures .as outlined in "B" above are carried out.
D. Individual Public Hearings. 1.Applications that require individual analysis are
scheduled for individual hearings, after the 21-day waiting period prescribed by the
Coastal Act.
The procedure in these cases is.that the staff prepares an analysis of the proposed.
development and sends it to the applicant, the Commissioners and the local government
and anyone who is interested in the project.
Each individual hearing requires a separate vote by the Commission to approve, deny
or condition the development.
'HEARING PROCEDURES:
A. Administrative/Consent Agendas. The Commission reviews all listed projects and may
ask the staff or applicant for any additional information it so desires.
After the Commission's review, projects are called to the audience by permit number.
Anyone wishing to. object to a permit or to proposed conditions should do so at this
point. Applicants who accept the conditions need not speak.
For opponents, the purpose is to convince two or more Commissioners on administrative
agenda and three or more Commissioners on consent agenda to remove the item to an indivi-
dual hearing where the project can be more thoroughly examined.
For applicants objecting to conditions, remarks should be directed to the conditions and
reasons why they should not be imposed.
Both applicants and opponents will receive only three minutes for any item described
in "A" above.
B. Indivi_dual Public Hearings. The staff will make a 'short oral presentation of the
case which will be followed by questions of the staff by any Commissioner.' Thereafter,
'the order is:
. .. .10 minutes total for the applicant and others in support of the project.
. . . .10 minutes total for opponents of the project.
.. . .5 minutes for rebuttal by the applicant only.
. . . .Close Public Hearing.
. . . :Questions by Commissioners
. . . .Voting I-2

hearing has been concluded, the Regional Commission is to act on the application within
21 days. Independent of any of the: above time limits, State law (1) requires a final
decision on a permit request within 180 days of accepting an application as filed, and
(2) allows the opportunity for one extension of .that deadline up to 90 days. The Regional
Commission's action will become final on the tenth working day after its decision has been
made unless an appeal is filed with the State Commission within that time.

gical sites shall be required to have a professional
survey by an archaeologist and be required to incorporate
mitigation measures , as recommended by the archaeologist
and the Commission, to protect those resources . (30244)
17. Development should be proposed only if adequate
measures are taken to prevent adverse effects on coastal
waters , wetlands , riparian areas , and soils from storm
water runoff. A storm water management control plan shall
be required if the site exceeds a slope of 49 percent with
+15-foot relief, is in a sensitive habitat area, or is
recommended by a consulting engineer.
18 . Increases in runoff from permitted development should
be directed into gravel filled wells or other retention
devices designed to hold a 2 . 5-inch/24-hour storm. The
maximum rate of discharge should. be at the level that
existed prior to development . Additional overland storm
channels , or additions to existing channels , should be
constructed only when downstream areas will not be im-
pacted by erosion or the higher rate of concentrated flow
(riparian areas are intolerant to increases in runoff) ,
when they are visually nonobtusive , and when it can be
demonstrated that no cumulative adverse impact will occur
from a decrease in ground water recharge areas . (30243 ,
30230 , 30231, 30236)
19. Where trail routes established by customary use of
hikers , equestrians , or bicycle riders cross properties
proposed for development , the dedication of trail right-of-
ways should be required as a condition of approval.
Where streams cross properties proposed for development ,
the dedication of trail right-of-way adjacent to the
stream should be required as a condition of approval.
(30223)
20. Landscape plans. (with primarily endemic vegetation)
shall be required in permitted development along scenic
routes , or if visually obtrusive, to integrate the man-
made and natural environments , and to screen or soften
the visual impact . (30251)
21 The potential of each shoreline and inland parcel
with regard to the recreational suitability of the site
should be evaluated before any development is permitted
that would foreclose such opportunities . If such potential
exists , development should not be permitted until that
site is assigned a land usage in a Local Coastal Plan.
Permitted development will conform to that prescribed use.

Provision in the attached Appendix.
2 . Improvements to, or development of, commonly held
property owner association lands should be conditioned
to provide public access through the development (30210 ,

E: PUBLIC SERVICES
1. Road construction or improvements should be based
on the suitability of the area to increased access , not
on the desire of users for more convenient access . Road
cuts should be minimized by combining access of adjacent
property owners . The intent is to reduce the number of
direct ingress-egress points off public routes and to
reduce grading. Environmentally sensitive areas (natural
landforms , significant habitat areas , archaeological
sites , etc. ) should not be disturbed or displaced.
(Where information on environmental carrying capacity
of coastal resources is available , ' support facilities
and roads should be kept within that capacity) . Hillside
roads should be constructed as narrow as possible and
follow natural contours . (30251 , 30253 , 30240, 30243)
2 . Public service facilities should be provided or
expanded only to the extent that the location and amount
of development and population that the systems will po-
tentially serve will not induce growth outside of areas
designated for expansion or be a precedent for development
in a natural resource or scenic resource area or in an
area where development would overburden road capacities
needed to accommodate public access to the coastline .
(30254, 30250)

3. Unnecessary duplication of utility distribution and `
transmission facilities should not be contemplated. All
above-ground facilities must follow the least visible route ,
be invisible above ridge lines , not compete with natural
terrain or man-made features in developed areas , be un-
obtrusive in appearance , be well designed, use minimum
number -of elements permitted by good engineering practice ,
and make use of colors and materials compatible with local j
surroundings . In areas of special visual quality, under-
grounding of new distribution facilities may be required.

4. Where existing or planned public works - facilities
can accommodate only a limited amount of new development ,
services to coastal dependent land use , essential public
services vital to the economic health of the region, public
recreation, commercial recreation and visitor-serving land
use should not be precluded by other development . (30255 .

F. HAZARDOUS OR SPECIAL AREA DEVELOPMENT
1. See Hazardous and Special Area Development in the
attached Appen ix.
2. The large undeveloped portions of South East Orange
County are one of the most significant natural resources
of Southern California. Their proximity to major popula-
tion centers , their juxtaposition with the coastline and
inland National Forests (and the major hiking and eques-
trian trail networks of the state) combine to add further
significance to their position as a major regional resource.
The area contains significant ecological areas of diverse
types ; intertidal habitats , riparian habitats , coastal
sage and woodlands and other valuable •natural habitats .
Rare and endangered species do find critical habitat in
these environments . Two of the major resource areas have
been identified in studies , the Laguna Greenbelt and the
Aliso Creek Watershed. Additional important functions
of this area - include aquifer and air recharge and sand
replenishment for beaches .

Alteration of Landforms :
Grading, cutting or filling that will alter natural landforms
(bluffs , cliffs , ravines , etc.) should be prohibited. In per-
mitted development , landform alteration should be minimized by
concentrating the development on level areas (except on ridge-
lines and hill tops) and designing hillside roads to be as
narrow as possible and follow natural contours . (30251 , 30253)
In all cases grading should be minimized. New residential de-
velopment should be sited and designed so that as a general
rule, no ponds , creeks , or drainages are filled or cleared:
clearance, and scraping should be liadted to the mnim n necessary
area for a house pad and the legally required brush clearance
area for fire safety. Road cuts and new subdivisions should
not create lots requiring massive ggrading or extensive geo-
logical marks or cuts . (30251 , 30253 , 30240)
Cascading project design should be utilized in new developments
along scenic routes or if visually obtrusive as methods to
blend the proposal with the surrounding topography. (30251 ,
30253)
Bluff Top Development :
Proposed development should be set back at least 25 feet from
the edge of any coastal bluff. (30251 , 30253)
Proposed development upon a canyon bluff top should be set back
at least ten feet from the bluff top edge , or set back in accor-
dance with a string line (see String Line in this Appendix) con-
necting adjacent development , or set b-a-cY from the primary vege-
tation line depending upon site characteristics as determined

Deed:
In cases where minor modification to a proposed structure might
result in an additional dwelling unit or units , a legally recorded
deed restriction which sets forth and limits the use of the struc-
ture to the specific number of dwelling units recorded on the per-
mit shall be required. (30252)
Hazardous and Special Area Development :

Lateral Access :
All shoreline parcels whose seaward boundary is the mean high tide
line should provide a recorded dedication or easement granting to
the public the right of access to and use of dedicator' s real prop-
erty generally parallel to , and up to 25 feet inland from the mean
high tide line , but in no case allowing the public the right to pass
nearer than five feet to any living unit on the property. (30210 ,
30211 , 30212)
String Line :
In a developed area where new construction is generally infilling
and is otherwise consistent with Coastal Act policies , no part of
a proposed new structure , including decks , should be built further
onto a beach front than a line drawn between the nearest adjacent
corners of the adjacent structures . Enclosed living space in the
new unit should not extend farther seaward than a second line
drawn between the most seaward portions of the nearest Corner of the
enclosed living space of the adjacent structure , (30210 , 30251 ,30211 ,

Vertical Access :
All development on shoreline parcels whose seaward boundary is the
mean high tide line may be requested to provide a recorded dedica-
tion or easement granting to the public the privilege and right to
pass and repass over dedicator' s real property from a public road
to the mean high tide line. Vertical access should be provided at
least every one-half mile or more frequently when beach topography
makes it appropriate (pocket beaches , .etc. ) . Vertical access should
be provided on inland parcels if necessary to make connection with
shoreline access points . (30210, 30211 , 30212 , 30212 . 5)
Viewpoint Provision: '
Multiple-story structures of commercial or public use which are
proposed and located at an appropriate vista point , should provide
an upper level coastal view vantage point for public use. Examples
of encouraged uses are : glass elevators , restaurants , terrace
gardens , and view points , etc . (30251 , 30213)

cable City or County Housing Authority the first right of re-
fusal on a Commission approved number of the units of the
proposed residential development for persons who meet the standards
established by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment for rent subsidy under Section 8 of the Housing Act -of 1937 ,
as amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974,
(42 USCA 1437 et seq. ) as it may subsequently be amended, and
applicable regulations covering "Housing Assistance Payments
Program - Existing Housing" (24 CFR Section 882 . 101 et seq. ) .
This offer is to be renewed whenever a vacancy occurs in the
development at a time when a Commission approved number of units
are rented under the records of vacancies and offers to the
Housing Authority to be submitted, upon demand, to the Regional
Commission or the State Commission. (30213 , 30007 . 5)
b. If the applicant is unable to obtain financing for the develop-
ment subject to Condition (a) above , the permit may specify a
reduced number of units that may be constructed, subject to
approval of the Executive Director without Condition (a) .

1 . 1 and 1. 5 Criteria:
The 1 . 1 and 1 . 5 criteria were developed in lieu of specific height ,
setback and square footage requirements in order to afford some
degree of flexibility in design while still accomplishing - a plan-
ning objective .
The stated objective is to maintain neighborhood integrity and
character and to limit intensity thereby indirectly limiting
density, traffic generation, which, in turn, tend to protect
access to the beach.
The following criteria will -be considered in evaluating all
residential development (single-family dwellings , duplexes , tri-
plexes , etc. ) on nonconforming lots . It should be noted, however ,
there are areas , e.g. Surfside, where the 1 . 1 and 1 . 5 criteria
are not applied.
Projects which guarantee the provision of low and/or moderate income
housing should be individually assessed relative to allowable
density, required parking, and other development criteria with
a view toward providing density bonuses or parking requirement
reduction. (30213 , 30007 . 5)
See Guarantee Provision of Low and/or Moderate Income Housing
above.
Nonconforming Lot Criteria:
Gross structural area should not exceed 1 . 1 or 1 . 5
(whichever is applicable) times the buildable area.
In the case of combined lots , buildable area will
be calculated as if the lots were to be developed
individually.
Note: The 1. 1 or 1 . 5 criteria may be used as a guide-
line for development on conforming lots in areas where
most lots are nonconforming and subject to the 1 . 1 or
.1. 5 criteria.
Definitions :
Nonconforming Lots - Those parcels with an area of 4000 square
Feet or ess .
Gross Structural Area - The total square footage of all
structures including the area allocated for required parking
whether covered or uncovered.
• Required parking shall be calculated in the gross
structural area; all other portions of a structure
shall be calculated in the gross structural area,
regardless of use.
continued. . .
A-5
1
• Gross structural area shall include all structural levels
including mezzanines , lofts and stairwells (stairwell
areas are calculated only one level , e . g. in a two-story
structure the area of a stairwell is calculated on either
the first or second level- not both.
• Atriums completely open to the sky are not included in
gross structural area calculations .
• Patios and/or decks completely open to the sky and/or
open on two sides are not included in gross
structural area calculations .
• Under spaces are included in gross structural area unless
there is no access thereto , they have no floors and windows
and the greatest vertical height within such space is 48
inches or less .
Buildable Area:
The total area of the parcel minus the area of all required set-
backs pursuant to the local zoning regulations .
• Setbacks determined by averaging will be utilized when
consistent with local zoning except in ' the Venice area.
• Where consistent with local zoning, one-half of an alley
will be calculated as part of a required rear yard.
• Where consistent with local zoning the 1 . 1 gross struc-
tural area criteria shall consider one-half the width of
a rear alley as part of the required rear yard; however,
regardless of the width of the alley, for calculations
purposes the alley width to be included shall be no great-
er than ten feet or less than seven and one-half feet .
• Setback variances will not be considered in calculating
buildable area.
The following format should be used in nonconforming lot calcu-
lations . The calculations should be included in all staff reports .
On consent calendar items , calculations should be available in the
file .
EXAMPLE (Using the 1 . 5 Criteria)
Lot Size 3800 sq. ft . (95 ' x 40 ' )
Buildable 2560 sq . ft . (80 ' x 32 ' )
(Assume 10 ' front , 5 ' rear, 4' sideyards)
Allowable Structural Area 3840 sq . ft . (2560 ' x 1 . 5)
Proposed Structure 4400 sq . ft .
Excess Over Allowable Structure 560 sq . ft . (4400 - ' )
A-6
In cases where application of the 1 . 1 or 1 . 5 criteria would
result in less than 1400 sq . ft . of gross structural area the ,
staff recommendation will be 1400 square feet .
Compliance with the nonconforming lot criteria may not result
in project approval as other considerations are also applied
to each development on a project by project basis .
Parking Guidelines :
I. Residential Parking
1 . All residential uses shall provide parking stalls
according to use as specified on pages A-9 through A-11 .
2 . All residential parking shall be located on-site .
3 . Enclosed ground level residential parking stalls
shall have a minimum width of 9 (nine) feet and a
minimum length of 19 (nineteen) feet .
4. Open, on=site , and subterranean (when stalls are
not fully enclosed) residential parking stalls shall
have -.a minimum width of 9 (nine) feet and a minimum
length of 19 (nineteen) feet .
5 . Aisle width and parking angle shall be designed
in accordance with Table 1 .
6 . Stall width shall be increased by 1 (one) foot
where an obstruction is adjacent- to the stall within
the first 14 (fourteen) feet of space length on any
single stall (thirty-three feet on tandem stalls . )
Two feet shall be added to stall width where an ob-
struction is adjacent to the stall on both sides .
7 . To the extent possible , parking should be pro-
vided on the alley side of the lot and in no case
should parking be permitted in the required front
yard setback. .
8 . In cases where existing structures are to remain,
parking standards may be adjusted on a case by case
basis .
9 . Tandem parking stalls may be approved where there
is no alternative , on a case by case basis .
10. Minimum driveway and aisle widths : for single-
family dwellings shall be 9 (nine) feet , for multiple-
family dwellings 10 (ten) feet shall be provided unless
the parking area serves 25 or more cars when either one
driveway of 19 (nineteen) feet or two driveways of 10
(ten) feet minimum shall be provided.
continued. . .
A-7
11 . In cases where the minimum driveway or aisle width
cannot be met , a reduced driveway or aisle width may be
found acceptable provided that the width of the individ-
ual stalls is increased so as to maintain ease of access .
12. In cases where the width of the lot is 25 (twenty-
five) feet and two , 3 (three) foot side yard setbacks are
required, the minimum parking stall width should apply.
II. Nonresidential Parking
1 . Parking stalls shall be provided according to use as
specified on pages A-11 through A-16 .
2 . Parking stalls shall have a minimum width of 9 (nine)
feet and a minimum length of 19 (nineteen) feet .
3. Aisle width and parking angle shall be designed in
accordance with Figure 1 .
4. Stall width shall be increased by 1 '(one) foot where
an obstruction is adjacent to the stall within the first
14 (fourteen) feet of space length on any single stall
(thirty-three feet on tandem stalls) . Two feet shall be
added to stall width where an obstruction is adjacent to
the stall on both sides .
5 . All nonresidential parking shall be on-site except
when specifically approved in another location on a case
by case basis . Normally parking will not be allowed more
than 300 feet from the generating use .
6 . In cases where lease parking is provided to meet park-
ing requirements the subject use shall be operative only
as long as the lease is in full force and effect .
7 . In cases where existing structures are to remain,
parking standards may be adjusted on a case by case basis .
8. Within a Parking Management District which the Commis-
sion has found to adequately provide for all existing and
potential uses , off-site parking within district lots may
be acceptable in lieu of on-site parking. .
9 . In the case of a minor modification to an existing
commercial structure where the Commission parking standards
cannot be met either on-site or off-site , the parking stan-
dards may be adjusted on a case by case basis .
10. Tandem parking stalls may be approved where a valet
parking service is provided. The subject use shall be
operative only as long as the valet parking service con-
tinues to operate .
ll. Minimum driveway and aisle widths are 19 (nineteen) feet
when the parking area serves more than 25 (twenty-five) cars ,or
in lieu thereof, two 10 (ten) foot minimum access driveways

A-8 continued. . : .
12 . In cases where the minimum driveway or aisle width cannot
be met , a reduced driveway or aisle width may be found acceptable
provided that the width of the individual stalls is increased
so as to maintain ease of access .
13 . Where valet parking is to be provided, a maximum of
fifteen percent of the required on-site stalls may be in
tandem configuration.
TO FIND THE REQUIRED BAY WIDTH (B) :
Refer to Table 1 , next page .
1 . Choose the column on Table 1 which describes
the type of parking facility planned.
2 . Double loaded means parking on both sides
of the driveway access aisle . See Table E, below.
Single loaded means parking on one side of
the driveway access aisel .
3 . Choose a Parking 'Angle row from Column 1 of
Table 1'.
4. Where the Parking Angle row and the column
chosen under #1 above intersect is the
required Bay Width (B) .
Note : Table 1 affords many design options . If the
required Bay Width (B) derived from steps 1
through 4 cannot be accommodated on the project
site , consider alternative Parking Angles (and
if the project is large , alternative parking
patterns) until an optimum parking layout for
the project is found.

Habitat Protection :
• Development in "significant ecological areas" should be permitted
only when it can be demonstrated that no significant and cumulative
disruption of habitat value or environmental damage will occur.
(30240 , 30230 , 30231 , 30250)
Permitted development in or near "significant ecological areas"
should minimize the amount of land vegetation altered to avoid un-
necessary impact on life resources with particular regard to the
cumulative impact of potential buildout. (30240 , ' 30230 , 30231 ,
302.50)
A minimum 50-foot buffer strip (measured from the outer limit of
riparian vegetation ; or if the waters are estuarian, a minimum of
100 feet from the outer limit of the estuarian vegetation) shall
be required in new development to protect habitat value of ripar-
ian areas where the opportunity exists . (30251 , 30240 , 30230 , 30231)
New development should restore the life resource value of the par-
cel if the opportunity exists . (30001 . 5)
Development that disturbs or destroys shoreline or intertidal habi-
tats or dune vegetation should not be allowed. (30230 , 30231 , 30240)
Permitted development that will divert or obstruct the natural flow
of, or change the bed, channel or bank of, or use material from any
riparian area, stream or lake should obtain and comply with a Fish
and Game Agreement pursuant to Section 1601 , 1602 , or 1603 of the
California Fish and Game Code . (30236 , 30231 , 30233)
Mitigation measures should be applied in order that drainage chan-
nels be maintained in natural state . (30231)
Hillside Dwelling Unit Density:
Development of lands located in hillside areas should be limited by
the suitability of the geology of the area for development , and by
the steepness of the natural topography of the various parts of the
area.
The Dwelling Unit Density should not exceed that allowed by the
following formula.
D = 50 - S
Where : D = the maximum number of dwelling units per
acre gross allowable , and
S = the average natural slope of the land in
percent.
The density permitted in a subdivision or planned development pro-.
j'ect should be 0 .05 dwelling ,units per acre gross (1 dwelling unit
per 20 acres gross parcel) or greater as allowed by the above for-
mula. Adequate access should be available from two or more direc-
tions . (30251 , 30210 ; 30260 ; 30252)_
A-17
The application of the formula results in the following densities
for selected slopes :
% Slope Density/gross acre
15 ------------------------- 1 .00
25 ------------------------- . 71
35 ------------------------- .43
. 45 ------------------------- .14
55 ------------------------- 05
65 ------------------------- .05
75- ------------------------- .05
The average natural slope is the sum of the slopes (slope - the
plane or incline of land visually expressed as a percentage : %
slope = vertical distance/horizontal distance X 100) at every point
within a given parcel of land divided by its areas as computed from
either the Los Angeles City Engineer ' s topographic maps or a topo-
graphic map prepared and certified by a registered civil engineer or
licensed land surveyor. Average natural slope is slope prior to
grading and shall be computed by the formula :
S = 1L/AX100
Where : S = average natural slope in percent
I = contour interval in feet , at not greater than
25-foot intervals , resulting in at least 5
contour lines
L = total accumulated length of all contours of
interval "I" , in feet
A = the area being considered in square feet
Slope may also be computed by 500 feet grid increments , as shown on
the Los Angeles City Engineer' s topographic maps or by the entire
parcel area.
Example :
A 100-acre parcel of vacant hillside land is proposed for development .
It is determined that the land lies within a Hillside Area and is
designated for Minimum Density Housing on the adopted community plan
for the area. The developer's engineer has prepared a topographic
map with 25-foot contour intervals and has measured the length of
these contours .
The average natural slope must first be computed and then applied to
the slope/density formula to determine the allowable dwelling unit
density as follows :
A. . Compute average natural slope : Contour interval (I) x Length
Average natural slope in % (S) = of all contours (L)
Area ot site
(1) Contour interval : I - 25 feet
(2) Measure lengths of all contour lines of "I" interval within

100 acres .
Sign Criteria:
The Commission recognizes that different situations present different•
signing problems . For that reason it has chosen to abandon the
traditional approach to sign regulation in favor of flexible guide-
lines under which signs can be considered on their own merits . These
guidelines contain general criteria which must be met before a permit
can be issued.
1 . Signing shall be restrained in character and no larger than
necessary for adequate identification.
2 . Signing for an establishment within a commercial or indus-
trial center shall be in harmony with the signing of the entire
center. The theme of such signing shall be approved as a part
of plans for new commercial -or industrial center .
3 . No sign will . be allowed which disrupts or detracts from the
uality of the view or the line of sight in any view corridor
e .g. , no roof-top signs , flashing or blinking signs) .
4 . No scenic values or other public interests should be harmed
as a result of signing .
5 . Signs should be on-site , not off-site .
In order- the maintain a high visual standard within the Coastal Zone ,
the following criteria are suggested:
On-premise signs should be designed as an integral part of
development .
continued. . .
A-19
In addition r
- Where buildings- exist, signs shall be wall mounted.
- Each business should be entitled to one facade sign. t
Each shopping complex .may have one directory sign
(reader board) .
- Monument sign height , including mounding, should not
exceed five feet above adjacent grade .
Roof signs will not be allowed.

Measurement of Height :
The maximum allowable height for a structure on a particular lot
will be determined by the "Buildable Envelope" of the particular
site. This Appendix section contains all of the information nec-
essary to determine the dimensions of a buildable envelope . Devel-
opment may take place anywhere within the perimeters of the build-
able envelope. A structure need not fill the entire envelope , but
in no case should any portion of a structure exceed the envelope
perimeters .
How to determine the dimensions of the buildable envelope for
any site :
A. The necessary information.
Ihe buildable envelope will be unique to the- individual site , and
can be developed from three pieces of data: 1) the maximum allow-
able height , specified in the preceding area guidelines , 2) the
required building setback lines of the lot , and 3) the grade level
from which the height shall be measured.
The first of these , the specified maximum height , will be found
within the preceding area specific section of these guidelines .
The second, the required building setback lines for the lot , are
those available from the local planning and building department
as they are modified (e . g. , bluff tops , setbacks) within the
preceding area specific section of those guidelines . The third
piece of data, the grade level from which the height shall be
measured can be determined as follows :
1 . Measurement shall be from one of the following two grade
elevations , depending upon the characteristics of the
project site :
a) Grade Elevation .#1 -
Lot Characteristics :
If the lot is a) within an existing
area,, and b) contains an existing graded
building pad of sufficient size upon which
to construct the proposed structure , then
height shall be measured as follows :
A-20
Calculation of Height :
Height shall be measured along perpendiculars
(plumb lines) from the existing pad elevation
(finished grade) to the guideline specified
maximum height above grade .
b) Grade Elevation #2 -
Lot Characteristics :
If the lot has characteristics other than those
described under Grade Elevation #1 , above , then
height shall be measured as follows :
Calculation of Height :
Height shall be measured along perpendiculars
(plumb lines) from the elevation of the natural
grade to the guideline specified maximum height
above grade .
B . Putting it all together to form the buildable envelope .
The above three pieces of data for the parcel can be combined to
develop the buildable envelope of the site . A buildable envelope
shall be situated upon one of the above two Grade Elevations and
will have the following characteristics :
Side Surfaces :
The sides of the envelope are established by the
setback lines of the lot .

A-22
Upper Surface :
"i The upper surface of the envelope shall run parallel to the under-
lying grade elevation (contours) at the guideline specified height .
In other words , the upper surface is that plane of points perpen-
dicular to all points on the grade surface at the guideline speci-
fied height .

Notes : Minor irregularities of parcel grade shall be considered on
a case by case basis .
Development may occur anywhere within the boundaries defined by the
maximum envelope perimeter and height , however, the building ' site
on larger parcels should be chosen so as to minimize , as much as
practical , disruptions of significant views and vistas from public
places and to maximize the preservation of significant site features .
on extremely steep lots some allowance may be made on a case by case
basis for overlapping structural blocks . In any case , the exposed
height of wall sections should be no greater than the maximum guide-
line height of the area.
