Center Site from. CF-C (Community Facility - . Civic Center) to a Specific
Plan -designation.

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 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, ,_L9_JQ, 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 ructureG (except for the Library and
Clinic) are underutilized and due to the age, condition, and Questionable
ser ic rPGiGtance—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_aufficient 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 PSwntown area wit u conflicting with stable residential uses sur-
rounding the site.

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 1 dscaping and sign controls as
required by existing ordinancesh. he 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 sub 'ec ert e G ral -Plan as Mixed
Bevelopme�t so the proposed zone chance would be consistent with he
General Plan and therefore, staff is recommending that the proposed
Specs is Plan be forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation
for approval .
7. 0 RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the facts presented above, it is recommended that approval of
the Old Civic Center Specific Plan No. 79-1 be recommended to the
City Council, and that Environmental Impact Report 79-1 be recommended
to the City Council for certification as complying with the State
guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act.

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 loca-
tion. The site is still occupied by the Memorial Hall (used for
storage) , the Fire Station (leased as office space) , 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 per-
mit use of the site in a manner that will aid the City' s efforts
to revitalize the Downtown area without conflicting with stable
residential uses surrounding the site.
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 re-
quires a conditional use permit for all activities on Site 1, and
the Planning Commission will again 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.
This Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report were also a
topic of discussion at a joint study session of the City Council
and Planning Commission on November 19, 1979. At that time, the
Council requested that if the parking plan for the proposed housing
was changed substantially that the project return to Council for
review. Staff will recommend this action as a condition of ap-
proval of the required Conditional Use Permit.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
Pursuant to the environmental regulations in effect at this time,
an initial study for this action was completed by Development
Services 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 Planning Commission and City Council on November 16 , 1979 .
Following the Public Hearing on December 4 , 1979, the Planning
Commission took the following action:
On motion by Shea and second by Kenefick Environmental Impact
Report No. 79-1 was approved for recommendation to the City Council
for certification, by the following vote:
AYES : Winchell, Kenefick, Stern, Bazil, Greer, Shea, Bauer
NOES : None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
FUNDING SOURCE:
The City currently has budgeted $550, 000 in Housing and Community
Development Block Grant funds to provide a Senior Recreation Cen-
ter and off-site improvements on this site. The housing and
commercial components . of the proposed project will be financed
with funds from the California Housing Finance Agency.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS :
This change of zone is necessary to_ permit the implementation of
the proposed senior housing and recreation facilities on this
site. Without the change of zone, this project cannot move
forward.
