B. BACKGROUND
The City's certified Local Coastal Program consists of two parts: the Land Use Plan/ Coastal Element
of the General Plan and the Implementing Ordinances. The Implementing Ordinances include the
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and specific plans within the coastal zone that have been certified
by the California Coastal Commission (Downtown Specific Plan, Holly Seacliff Specific Plan, Seacliff
Specific Plan, Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan, Magnolia Pacific Specific Plan, and Huntington
Harbour Bay Club Specific Plan). Any changes to the Implementing Ordinances must be forwarded
to the Coastal Commission as a Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) for certification and
incorporation into the City's Local Coastal Program. Certification by the Coastal Commission is
necessary in order for the ordinances to be effective in the coastal zone.
C. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION:
City of Huntington Beach Page 2 of 3 Printed on 11/15/2018
powered by Leoistar",
File #: 18-452 MEETING DATE: 11/19/2018
This LCPA represents a minor amendment to the City's certified Local Coastal Program. All of the
amendments have been approved by the City Council with public hearings and no coastal related
issues were brought forward. Staff has grouped these amendments as one LCPA to minimize staff
and administrative time because they are minor from the Coastal Commission's perspective.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 18-001
because it will update the City's certified Local Coastal Program by incorporating previously approved
entitlements and will constitute a minor amendment to the City's certified Local Coastal Program.
Environmental Status:
All of the subject Zoning Text Amendments were analyzed per the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) at the time they were adopted by the City Council. The subject resolution to adopt Local
Coastal Program Amendment No. 18-001 and forward to the Coastal Commission for certification
does not require additional environmental review and is exempt pursuant to Section 15265(a)(1) of
the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts approvals by a local government necessary for the preparation
and adoption of a local coastal program.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Non-Applicable - Administrative Item

ORDINANCE NO. 4136
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
AMENDING CHAPTER 230 OF THE HUNTINGTON BEACH
ZONING AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE RELATING TO
WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES
(ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 17-003)
WHEREAS,pursuant to the California State Planning and Zoning Law, the Huntington
Beach Planning Commission and Huntington Beach City Council have held separate, duly
noticed public hearings to consider Zoning Text Amendment No. 17-003, which amends Chapter
230 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance relating to wireless
communication facilities; and
After due consideration of the findings and recommendations of the Planning
Commission and all other evidence presented,the City Council finds that the aforesaid
amendment is proper and consistent with the General Plan;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby
ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 230.96 of the Huntington Beach Zoning ar_d Subdivision
Ordinance is hereby amended to read as follows:
230.96 Wireless Communication Facilities
A. Purpose. This section of the Zoning Code is to protect public safety, general welfare,
and quality of life by regulating the location, height and physical characteristics and provide
for orderly and efficient placement of Wireless Communication Facilities in the City of
Huntington Beach.
Because of the potential negative aesthetic impacts of Wireless Communication Facilities,
including visual blight and diminution of property value, the City endeavors to locate
antennas within cornm.ercial, industrial and other non-resideritial zones, screen them from
view, and encourage co-location with other Wireless Communication Facilities. However,
the Federal Telecommunications Act, specifically 47 U.S.C. Section 332(c)(7), preempts
local zoning where a wireless Facility is necessary to remedy a significant gap in the
wireless provider's service. Consequently, where the City determines that the Facility does
not satisfy City planning and zoning standards, the wireless provider may then choose to
establish Federal preemption because (i) a significant gap in wireless coverage exists, and
ji) there is a lack of feasible alternative site locations. A myriad of factors are involved in
deterniining if a gap is significant, such as: whether the gap affects a commuter highway;
the nature end character of the area and the number of potential users affected by the alleged
lack of service; whether the signal is weak or nonexistent and whether the gap affects a
commercial district. Consequently, the City will require scientific evidence from an expert
17-5579/160660/mv/7/6/17 2:35 p.m. 1
ORDINANCE NO. 4136
in the field demonstrating the existence of a significant gap in service, and a lack of feasible
alternative sites. The applicant will be required to pay for the cost of said expert opinion.

ORDINANCE NO. 4136
f. Property owner authorization or evidence of fee ownership of property
where the Facility will be installed. In the case of City-owned property or any
public right-of-way, the applicant shall provide a license, lease, franchise, or other
similar agreement from the City to place any Facility over, within, on, or beneath
City property or right-of-way.
g. Locations of all other Wireless Antennas within 1,000 feet of a proposed
ground mounted Facility. Co-location of ground mounted facilities shall be
required where feasible whenever such a Facility is proposed within 1,000 feet of
any existing Wireless Antenna.
h. Any other relevant information as required by the Director of Community
Development or the Director of Public Works.
The Community Development Department or Public Works Department will initially
review and determine if the application is complete. The City may deem the application
incomplete and require re-submittal if any of the above information is not provided.
2. Director Approval. Following submittal of a complete application, the City will
determine whether the Facility may be approved by the Community Development
Director or Public Works Director or whether a conditional use permit or other
entitlement is required. Wireless permit applications will be processed based upon the
location and type and size of antennas defined in herein. Although said classifications
are assigned at project intake, a re-evaluation of antenna classifications may occur at
any point in the process including at the time of review by the Director, Zoning
Administrator, Planning Commission or City Council.
A Facility not subject to any other discretionary approval may be administratively
approved by the Director by issuing a wireless permit if it is:
a. Co-located on an existing approved wireless Facility, does not exceed the
existing Wireless Facility heights, and employs stealth techniques such that the
co-located wireless Facility is compatible with surrounding buildings and land
uses; or
b. A modified Facility that complies with the base district height limit plus
up to an additional 10 feet of height as permitted in Section 230.72 and
compatible with surrounding buildings and land uses by incorporating stealth
techniques; or
C. A Facility that complies with the base district height limit plus up to an
additional 10 feet of height as permitted in Section 230.72, is completely stealth
and is not ground or utility mounted; or
d. A Small Cell Site.
The Director may require conditions of approval of the Wireless Communication
Facility in order to minimize adverse health, safety and welfare impacts (including
aesthetic impacts)to the community.
A decision of the Director to grant a wireless permit shall become final 10 days
following the date of the decision unless an appeal to the Planning Commission is filed
as provided in Chapter 248 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinance (HBZSO).

and is not a detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the community.
3. Zoniniz Administrator Approval. In the event the Director determines that the
applicant does not meet the requirements for Director approval of a wireless permit,
then the applicant must apply for a conditional use permit (CUP) to the Zoning
Administrator pursuant to Chapter 241 of the HBZSO.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the HBZSO, any new ground or utility
mounted wireless facilities shall be required to obtain a CUP.
The Zoning Administrator may require as a condition of approval that the applicant
minimize adverse impacts to the community including aesthetic visual impacts by
incorporating one or more of the following into project design and construction:
a. Completely stealth installations;
b. Stealth techniques;
C. Co-location and locating facilities within existing building envelopes,
d. Colonization or landscaping to minimize visual prominence; and/or
e. Removal or replacement of facilities that are obsolete.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the HBZSO, design review is not required for
wireless communication facilities(including Small Cell Sites)that may be approved by
the Director pursuant to Subsection E.2 (Director Approval) above and have all
appurtenant facilities and equipment located underground or within an existing
building or existing enclosure.
F. Applicant May Assert Federal Preemption at Time of Appeal to Planning
Commission.
1. If the decision on the wireless permit or conditional use permit is appealed (either
by applicant or an aggrieved party) to the Planning Commission, the applicant may
assert that Federal law preempts the City from denying the application because denial
would effectively prohibit wireless service. The applicant shall pay a Denial of
Effective Service appeal fee in an amount to be established by City Council resolution,
which amount shall be the estimated cost for the City to retain an independent,
qualified consultant to evaluate any technical aspect of a proposed Wireless
Communication Facility, including, but not limited to, issues involving whether a
significant gap in coverage exists. A Denial of Effective Service appeal must be
submitted prior to the expiration of the appeal period for a wireless permit or
conditional use permit.
