File 2 of 5 - Pierside Pavillion Reconstruction - 300 Pacifi
Bill Garrisi 200 Pacific Coast Highway,#123 Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Members of the City Council City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 RE:Proposed Pierside Pavilion Expansion—Appeal of Planning Commission's denial of Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 11-007/Coastal Development Permit No. 11-012/Conditional Use Permit No. 11-021/Variance No. 11-005;Design Review No. 11-015 Dear Honorable Council Members: As is written,the proposed development at 300 Pacific Coast Highway, referred to here as Pierside Pavilion, has numerous areas where the plan deviates from the codes guiding development in Huntington Beach, particularly the Downtown Specific Development Plan and the Huntington Beach Zoning Ordinance. Some of these deviations have been noted in Staff Reports accompanying the project, but some have yet to be discussed. Approval of this proposed project would trample upon the intent behind the Downtown Specific Plan, infringe upon the property rights enjoyed by current residents of the area, and set a precedent for uncontrolled development that will be difficult to correct. In addition, approval of this proposal has the potential to be a significant financial liability to the city, both due to the loss of property values and the taxes to be collected from that, as well as via potential a litigation. Each of the areas where I have noted a potential area of non-compliance in the proposed project is summarized below,with references to the appropriate supporting documentation. This documentation is all publically available, but for convenience each pertinent section of the referenced documentation has been attached to a printed copy of this letter. Third Street View Corridor The most egregious of these deviations is in regards to the view corridor that was to be maintained after the vacation of 3rd Street in 1988-1989. As is discussed below,there was a very clear requirement in the 1988 DTSP providing for a view corridor to be left roughly where 3rd Street was to be vacated by the City of Huntington Beach. This corridor was to be the width of the former street, as is defined below,and should be left there in perpetuity. 1. Huntington Beach city officials discussed the necessity of a view corridor in official documentation as far back as February of 1988 Reference:Exhibit W—1988 Environmental Assessment showing View Corridor.pdf Reference:Exhibit P—03291988 Meeting Minutes 2. The original Pier Colony/Pierside Pavilion project was proposed as either the current mix of residential and commercial uses,or as a single commercial site with a hotel situated where the current Pier Colony development now stands. It is interesting to note that even in some of the earlier proposals,a view corridor was drawn into the plans. Reference:Exhibit R—03211988 Staff Report Proposals A&8.pdf Reference:Exhibit S—03211988 CC Minutes.pdf Page 7 3. The City of Huntington Beach chose to accept the proposal including a mix of commercial and residential. This was not allowed due to the restrictions on types of development allowed in District 3. As of the 1985 DTSP, residential was not allowed south of Main Street in District 3. Rather than seek a variance, approval for Conditional Use Permit 88-7 was restricted to be granted when City Council approval was granted for the 1988 DTSP. Reference:Exhibit N-pc-19880405-minutes.pdf Page 15 16. Conditional use permit 88-7 and coastal development permit no 88-3 shall not become effective until the proposed revisions to the DTSP are approved by City Council and in effect Reference:Exhibit S—03211988 CC Minutes.pdf Page 7 4. The original Pier Colony/Pierside Pavilion project was approved via Conditional Use Permit 88-7, which explicitly stated that approval for the project was contingent upon acceptance of the 1988 Downtown Specific Development Plan. Reference:Exhibit M-Letter on CUP 88-7-5.6.1989.pdf Notes: The attached letter states that 88-7 would not be in effect until all the DTSP revisions were approved, which would include language about view corridors Reference:Exhibit N-pc-19880405-minutes.pdf page 15 16. Conditional use permit 88-7 and coastal development permit no 88-3 shall not become effective until the proposed revisions to the DTSP are approved by City Council and in effect 5. The 1988 Downtown Specific Development Plan had a very clear requirement that any multiblock consolidation that resulted in a street vacation between Walnut Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway was to leave a view corridor not less than the width of the vacated street. Reference:Exhibit 8—DTSP Code Amendment CA-88-3 3.15.1988 Page 60 The following conditions will apply to City vacation of streets and alleys for consolidation of parcels greater than one block in size. (f)Any development proposing the vacation of streets intersecting PCH in District#2 and District#3 shall provide a view corridor not less than the width of the former street between Walnut Avenue and PCH. In addition, horizon view corridors shall be maintained in District#10. No structures greater than five (5) feet in height shall be allowed within such view corridor.A pedestrian easement ten (10)feet wide shall be provided through the development generally parallel to the vacated street. 6. The language regarding street vacations in the 1988 DTSP was discussed at several different points prior to approval, and in each case,votes were held to maintain the "shall' language rather than "should" in regards to view corridors. Planning Commission Motion Reference:Exhibit H-PC-19880315 minutes.pdf Page 7 Note:A straw vote on 3115188 to maintain view corridors in district 2 and 3 between Walnut and PCH was passed. City Council Motion Reference:Exhibit I-cc-19880502-minutes.pdf Page 15 Note: The city council held a vote on 512188 to discuss the language of the street vacate on (shall vs should). Motion fails,shall is kept in the language 7. Planning Commission approval for CUP 88-7 was made after a public hearing on 4/5/88. During that same meeting, prior to discussion of CUP 88-7,the Planning Commission had discussed and accepted the final language for the Downtown Specific Plan, including the language regarding street vacations Reference:Exhibit H-PC-19880315 minutes.pdf Page 7 Reference:Exhibit R—pc-19880405 minutes.pdf 8. Based on the definitions found in Ordinance 2836, a Street is defined as"A public or an approved private thoroughfare or road easement which affords the principal means of access to abutting property, not including an alley." The definition is not explicit as to whether or not sidewalks are included in this measurement,so it becomes necessary to examine the definition of Street Line. A Street Line is defined as "the boundary line between a street and abutting property." Based on these two definitions, it is clear that a street is measured from property line to property line. This is further clarified by referring to tract maps of the area during that era, all of which show 3 d Street as being either 30'to the centerline,or 60'wide. For further clarification, please refer to the California Streets and Highways Code, Division 9, Part 3, Chapter 3, Section 8308 which defines Street to mean ""Street" and "highway" include all or part of,or any right in,a state highway or other public highway, road, street, avenue, alley, lane, driveway, place, court,trail,or other public right-of-way or easement, or purported public street or highway, and rights connected therewith, including, but not limited to, restrictions of access or abutters' rights, sloping easements,or other incidents to a street or highway."

Submitted applicant plans show a 60'view corridor, but deemed an error in staff report responses. Reference: Exhibit A—Pierside Staff Report Late.pdf Page 3 Reference: Exhibit L-Current Plans with View Corridor Noted.pdf 10. Building to building,the first floor of the current Pierside Pavilion and the first floor of Pier Colony are separated by at least 60 feet. There are staircases encroaching upon that width, but the mass of the building is separated from Pier Colony by at least 60'. This is referenced in the Staff Report for CUP 03-28. Reference:Exhibit Q—03092004 Staff Report CUP 03-28—Page 7 11. The new building and infill is proposed to be parallel to staircases that already infringe upon the 60'view corridor, and the open space view corridor would be reduced to less than 40'. This view corridor should be measured from the edge of the existing retaining wall between Pier Colony and Pierside Pavilion (first permanent structure 5'tall or greater) Reference:Exhibit L-Current Plans with View Corridor Noted.pdf Front Yard Setbacks The proposed new development extends the wall of the building to within 6%2 from the property line. This replaces a large open space, and serves to visually and physically project the new building into the scenic view corridor along Pacific Coast Highway. By narrowing the existing sidewalk width, pedestrian traffic will be forced closer to Pacific Coast Highway,which is a high speed thoroughfare. Interactions between pedestrians and traffic are virtually unavoidable,and will most likely result in a lawsuit against the city at some point. 1. Asper the 2011 DTSP, Section 3.3.1.10,a 15' minimum dedication of sidewalk area from edge to the property line for parcels fronting Pacific Coast Highway between 15Y and 61"Street is required. Reference:Exhibit J—2011 Downtown Specific Plan.pdf Page 109 Reference:Exhibit AB—Setback Measurements.pdf 2. As can be seen in Figure 3-28 of the DTSP,the front yard setback is measured from the property line to the edge of the building envelope. As the plans are drawn,this distance is 6'/z feet, and thereby in violation of subpart 2 above along Pacific Coast Highway a. Had the original intent of the requirement have been to leave a set separation between the curb and the building, than the requirement would have been written as the one for Main Street,which shows a dedication from the center line of the roadway Reference:Exhibit J—2011 Downtown Specific Plan.pdf Page 109 3. In the original plan application,this requirement was noted and a variance requested. Justification for said variance was that allowing for a 6' setback will allow the proposed building to come in line with the existing Pier Colony building. This justification is false;the building envelope at Pier Colony is well over the 15' setback called for in the DTSP Reference:Exhibit V—Pierside Pavilion Staff Report.pdf Page 58 Excessive Building Height The proposed building calls for a maximum building height of 68 feet,with an additional variance increasing the overall height to 90 feet. This additional variance represents a 22 foot variance added to the top of a 68 foot tall building. In addition,the proposed rooftop dining area has a glass wall over 42' ® in height. In sum,this proposal is calling for a building to be built taller than the existing building, and with excessively high protrusions on the roof. This will add clutter to the view from Pacific Coast Highway, and draw attention away from Main Street. The proposed high wall along the rooftop dining area would constitute a 51h floor to the building,which brings an additional level of noncompliance. 1. As per Section 3.3.1.8 of the DTSP(Building Height),the maximum height for a building of this size is limited to 45' and/or 4 stories. Reference:Exhibit J—2011 Downtown Specific Plan.pdf Page 108 2. As per section 3.2.8 of the DTSP(Exceptions to Height Limits) and Chapter 230.72 of the HBZO (Exceptions to Height Limits), limitations are placed upon the height allowed for mechanical equipment and other appurtenances to being 10' above the height of the roof. This proposal is requesting a variance allowing for a 22' increase. Reference:Exhibit J—2011 Downtown Specific Plan.pdf Page 69 Reference:Exhibit X—HB Building Code Chp 230.pdf Page 36 3. The requested rooftop dining area as proposed plans for a wall over 42" tall along the perimeter. As per Section 2.7 of the DTSP(Definitions), being over 42"tall constitutes a separate story which brings the project to a total of 5 floors and out of compliance in that regard. Reference:Exhibit J—2011 Downtown Specific Plan.pdf Page 58 Improperly Recorded Tract Map Drawings When the Pier Colony/Pierside Pavilion project was first conceived and built, several parcels were seized by the city of Huntington Beach via eminent domain and consolidated into two tracts. Those tracts are referenced as 13478 and 13722. A restriction of approval for CUP 88-7 was that the tract maps be drawn to accurately reflect the division between residential and commercial sections of the project. This was not properly carried out. As can be seen from the developer map,the boundary between the two tracts is located several feet into the Pier Colony development, past the existing retaining wall and in the landscaped area of the residential complex. This error has been the source of some friction between the two properties over the past several years, but has never been thoroughly researched. Residents of Pier Colony have begun the process of working to have this error corrected, but are expecting the process to take significant time. While the documentation regarding this is clear, it is expected to cause additional friction between the two properties. This proposed development takes advantage of this error and uses land that should belong to Pier Colony as a part of its open space requirements and landscaping requirements. While the current proposal is already not in compliance with the landscaping requirement of the Open Spaces section of the DTSP (discussed below), moving this lot line to where it was originally intended will further bring the project out of compliance. Reference:Exhibit Y—CUP 88-7 as approved.pdf Page 27 Reference: Exhibit Z—Pierside Plans 7-5-12.pdf Page 1 Outdoor Eating Facility The proposed project plans for a 2"d floor dining establishment with rooftop dining allowed above the 4th floor. As per Section 3.2.24.2 of the DTSP"Outdoor dining shall be an extension of an existing or proposed eating establishment on contiguous property and shall be located directly adjacent to the eating establishment." The proposed dining establishment is situated 2 floors from the proposed rooftop dining area,and thereby does not meet the definition of being directly adjacent. Reference:Exhibit J—2011 Downtown Specific Plan.pdf Page 84 Residential Buffer In Staff comments letter,comments were made as to the validity of the residential buffers as pertaining to this project. This comment suggests that as per section 3.2.21 of the DTSP, Residential Buffers need not be applied. This requirement refers to Figure 3-10,which delineates where residential buffers shall apply. The area between Pierside Pavilion and Pier Colony is not delineated as requiring a residential buffer. If the position of Staff is that the two sites should not be treated as a commercial site adjacent to a residential neighborhood,than Section 3.2.14 of the DTSP(Mixed Use Projects) must apply as per the original Conditional Use Permit 88-7. In that case, significant buffer areas are to be left between noise and odor generating facilities and the residential portions of the site. Architecture is to remain consistent across all aspects of the project,and buildings must be sited so as to reduce conflict between residential and commercial portions of the site. Reference:Exhibit J—2011 Downtown Specific Plan.pdf Page 73,74,77 Reference:Exhibit V—Pierside Pavilion Staff Report.pdf Page 147 Reference:Exhibit Y—CUP 88-7 as approved.pdf Ground floor visitor serving The proposed project includes a significant amount of office space planned for the ground floor, in violation of Section 3.3.1.3 of the DTSP. This is in addition to the 4891 square feet listed on the floor plans as being currently used as office space,also in violation of that same statute. Reference:Exhibit J—2011 Downtown Specific Plan.pdf Page 103 Public View Significant areas of the corridor separating Pier Colony from Pierside Pavilion will no longer have views of the Pacific Ocean in this proposal. In particular,the entire 2"d floor area along that corridor, listed currently as being public access open space,with have either severely restricted or no view of the ocean. No studies have been shown detailing the loss of public view from within the corridor between Pier Colony and Pierside Pavilion,specifically from on the second floor public access area adjacent to the wall of the Pierside Pavilion building. As per Section 3.3.1.14 of the DTSP, a Public View Analysis must be performed from all affected areas, and increased setbacks may be required to protect this valuable resource. Reference:Exhibit J—2011 Downtown Specific Plan.pdf Page 110 Public Open Space As per Section 3.3.1.15 of the DTSP, 30%of the open space in a project must be landscaped. According to the plans released by the developer, 1,555 square feet of the 8,880 square feet of open space is considered landscaped. This is 17.5%, not the 30%minimum as required by the DTSP. In addition,from the plans released by the developer,it would appear that some of the area considered landscaped would actually be area considered to be a part of Pier Colony. This should not be included in the calculations for Pierside Pavilion. Reference:Exhibit J—2011 Downtown Specific Plan.pdf Page 110 Reference: Exhibit Z—Pierside Plans 7-5-12.pdf Rooftop Mechanical Equipment As per HBZO Chapter 230.76 Screening of Mechanical Equipment, all mechanical equipment is to be screened from view from adjacent properties, and shall be set back 15' from the edge of the roofline. This proposed property does not comply with that; in fact it intends to have the mechanical equipment right at the edge of the roof. This is of particular concern due to the close proximity of the building with it's neighbor, as well as the fact that the neighbor in question is a residence located in the same vertical plane as the proposal. Reference:Exhibit X—HB Building Code Chp 230.pdf Page 37 Pedestrian Corridor Narrowing As is written,the developer plans show a 9'6"walkway between the edge of the Black Bull building wall and the existing stairway. This is less than the allowed 10' minimum pedestrian easement required by the DTSP. This is a safety hazard, as well as a violation of the intent to use that pedestrian corridor as a public route to the ocean. Reference:Exhibit J—2011 Downtown Specific Plan.pdf Page 25 Reference: Exhibit J—2011 Downtown Specific Plan.pdf Page 66(Street Vacations) Reference:Exhibit B—DTSP Code Amendment CA-88-3 3.15.1988 Page 60 Reference: Exhibit Z—Pierside Plans 7-5-12.pdf Page 1 Design Issues The proposed structure is a monolithic,glass walled block placed squarely in between where the current edge of Pierside Pavilion ends and the edge of the Pier Colony complex. It is proposed to be taller than both existing buildings, does not utilize a similar"wedding cake" style of upper floor setbacks, and is of a drastically different architectural style than the existing buildings. It has been stated several times that this building is designed to stand out from the existing buildings. In addition to the obvious areas of noncompliance with the Downtown Specific Plan,this design causes the project to be out of compliance with the Coastal Element of the DTSP. For this, it is informative to read the guidance memo written by the California Coastal Commission, in which it is noted that public views of the beach area from the water are considered a protected resource. In this case,the view is seen daily by thousands of visitors from the pier, and view along Pacific Coast Highway is considered to be a scenic route. A large glass walled, monolithic building will by design stand out from the Mediterranean architecture found in the remainder of that area, and will thereby detract from the harmonious landscape currently existing. Reference:Exhibit U—Coastal Commission Memo regarding Views from Ocean to Land.pdf Safety In the Staff Report, it was noted that with the proposed development, it will no longer be possible for an Aerial Rescue truck to gain access between Pier Colony and Pierside Pavilion. Due to how close the proposed building is to the retaining wall along the Pier Colony property line,the close proximity of the proposed building to the edge of Pacific Coast Highway, as well as the clear width of the corridor between buildings, access for larger fire apparatus will become impossible. in the case of a fire at Pier Colony, residents on the upper floors cannot depend upon the fire department for either rescue, or in all likelihood, to have the ability to fight a fire from the exterior of the building. This is a severe health and safety risk to those living in Pier Colony,and should this project be approved, an extremely large liability to the city. Reference:Exhibit V—Pierside Pavilion Staff Report.pdf Page 76 In addition,the Huntington Beach Police Department states that"the requested modifications will significantly affect the quality of life for the local residents by creating public nuisances and adding to the already congested Downtown area". (Page 89 of the Pierside Pavilion Staff Report) Noise is already an issue in that area, and the addition of another alcohol serving facility will only add to the severe issues faced in downtown in regards to public intoxication. Reference:Exhibit V—Pierside Pavilion Staff Report.pdf Page 89-90 The addition of planters and trees at the immediate border between the sidewalk and the road has the potential to decrease driver visibility of the sidewalk as well as increase the severity of potential vehicular accidents in that area. The area between 2"d Street and Main Street,on Pacific Coast Highway, has a huge volume of pedestrian traffic, particularly in the summer. Instances can be observed daily where pedestrians are jaywalking there,or trying to cut across traffic lanes to beat the walk signal to cross Pacific Coast Highway. Reducing the ability of drivers on Pacific Coast Highway to observe the entirety of the sidewalk can only lead to accidents. Unfortunately too,the downtown area does see a significant number of drivers driving under the influence of alcohol,and adding more distractions and obstacles within the immediate vicinity of the street can only lead to an increase in both the number as well as severity of accidents. Parking Parking is a significant issue in the downtown area, and the addition of a large office building will only serve to exacerbate the issue. With that in mind,there are several areas where this proposed project fails to conform with both local as well as federal regulations. The amount of Handicapped Accessible parking spaces is insufficient. Parking level P1 shows 139 total spaces,with 4 shown as being handicapped, and parking level P2 shows 150 total spaces,with 3 handicapped. As per section 208.2 of the Americans with Disabilities Act,Table 208.2 requires S handicapped accessible spaces on each level. Reference:Exhibit AA—2010ADAStandards.pdf Page 69 The proposed project takes advantage of a shared parking agreement with the City of Huntington Beach, and utilizes spaces available in the parking garage located at the corner of 3rd Street and Walnut Ave. In the original agreement,the lions share of the shared parking was required due to the existence of a theater in the complex. However, in more recent iterations of the shared parking agreement,the usage has shifted from being driven by the theater requirements towards predominantly office space. As per Section 3.2.26.11.8 of the DTSP(Shared Parking Agreements),these agreements can only exist if the land uses have distinctly different hours of operation, or hours that do not overlay each other. In this case,the two dominant land uses (office and retail), have hours of operation that significantly overlay each other. Office hours are typically considered to be 8 AM to S PM,while many of the retail operations in the area open between 6 Am and 8 AM, and close between 6 PM and 9 PM depending upon season. Reference:Exhibit 1—2011 Downtown Specific Plan.pdf Page 96 Figure 3-16 in the DTSP provides for additional parking spaces to be required by the planning commission for new development in the downtown area. Office space will by nature require that each occupied parking space will be occupied for many hours each day, placing additional strain upon the already taxed parking structures in the immediate area. While the current DTSP allows for a minimum of 2 spaces required per 1000 square feet of office space, it would be logical to utilize the 4 spaces per 1000 square feet requirement that is in effect for the remainder of Huntington Beach. Reference:Exhibit 1—2011 Downtown Specific Plan.pdf Page 90 Noise The addition of the restaurant/bar, both on the second floor as well as any rooftop usage,will increase the noise at the residential area to the south. (Pier Colony) The city of Huntington Beach commissioned a study to determine the potential noise impacts of the proposed project. As a part of this, long term (4 day) readings were taken of ambient noise levels in the pedestrian corridor between Pier Colony and Pierside Pavilion. These readings were taken from Friday, October 28 2011 through Monday, October 312011. As pointed out in city documentation,the downtown area experiences significant seasonality in traffic patterns,with peak pedestrian traffic occurring between Memorial Day and Labor Day every year. The validity of a noise study performed in late fall,when pedestrian traffic is at a minimum is questionable, particularly when dealing with the impact of a business such as a restaurant. In this case,the majority of the noise generated will come from speech,and as the ambient noise increases,the noise emanating from said restaurant or bar will increase as people increase their volume of speech to compensate. In addition, a significant amount of the measured noise is coming from the existing Back Bull restaurant and bar at the southeastern corner of the project, a use that has already been the source of a multitude of noise complaints. The noise study itself uses measurements taken 10 years prior to this study at a restaurant in Rancho Mirage,which is a small (10% population of Huntington Beach,trending toward an older demographic) town in the Palm desert. Nowhere in the noise study are details of the measurements taken,or their relevance to the proposed development. At a bare minimum,detail should be included showing the number of tables,any on site mitigation at the reference location, foot traffic at the reference location, and some detail on microphone heights used in testing. In addition, the testing was performed in January of 2002. The Palm Springs area, like downtown Huntington Beach,will experience seasonality in their visitors, and it is questionable if measurements taken in January would match those taken at a time when visitors to the area are at their peak. As referenced above,the level of noise emanating from this baseline source would be higher should the ambient noise levels be higher. The noise study assumes that noise from the proposed development will propagate from the source outward equally; while this proposed development will be at both corners of what is proposed to be essentially a long hard lined tunnel (the pedestrian corridor between Pier Colony and Pierside Pavilion). This corridor already has the propensity to channel and focus sound;the proposed narrowing will only exacerbate that situation. Some modifications to the measurements need to be made to account for this impact. In addition,the proposed new restaurant will cover 2 floors, both with outside seating, and the noise impact of each should be evaluated both separately as well as in conjunction with the other. Further study should be done to determine the impact of the noise at multiple elevations. Pier Colony has homeowners on 4 floors; a thorough noise study must include the impact at each level of the residential area given that the proposed development plans to include noise generating aspects on multiple floors. In addition,the noise impact study did nothing to account for the narrowing of the pedestrian corridor between Pier Colony and Pierside Pavilion. Assuming pedestrian traffic remains the same or increases with the addition of new businesses in that area,channeling those same people through a smaller area, now covered in glass and concrete,will increase the intensity of noise in the residential area. Reference:Exhibit AD—6-12-12 noise study.pdf Page 1-47 Construction Noise Construction is anticipated to last 12 months,with self imposed hours of operation between 8AM and SPM. (9hrs per day) Based on the noise study submitted,the noise involved in the construction will range from a low of 76dB in the Physical Improvements stage to a high of 89dB in the Site Preparation stage. Again, I would challenge these estimations, as the majority of the work will be performed in an area that is basically a narrow concrete tunnel,which has a propensity to focus and reflect sound rather than allow it to dissipate. Even should these assumptions prove to be accurate,these are very high sound levels to subject a residential area to. According to OSHA,21CFR Part 1910, "Protection against the effects of noise exposure shall be provided when sound levels exceeded those shown in Table G-16" (21CFR 1910.95(a)). The accompanying table shows sound levels down to 85dB,which is within even the optimistic estimates shown on the noise study. These noise levels are considered by OSHA to be dangerous,and would require mitigation even in an industrial facility, let alone a residential area. Reference:Exhibit AC—OSHA Reg 21 CFR1910.95.pdf Page 125 Reference:Exhibit V—Pierside Pavilion Staff Report.pdf Page 92-93 Reference:Exhibit AD—6-12-12 noise study.pdf Page 43-49 Summary In summary,with the exception of the issues surrounding the loss of the view corridor, most of these issues individually seem to be relatively minor. However,when viewed from the perspective of the total project,these issues all add up to an ill-conceived project that tramples upon the intent behind the Downtown Specific Plan and will irreparably damage the ocean centric view many people still have of the downtown Huntington Beach area. This proposal is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to add a massive office building to some of the most valuable real estate in Huntington Beach; a building that would be much better suited in a dense urban area similar to downtown Long Beach. Planning staff noted many of these issues in their Staff Report, and noted many potential changes that if implemented could bring the proposed project closer to being in compliance with the DTSP, but even in the staff report it was noted that with all of the proposed modifications,the project would still not be in full compliance with the DTSP. Due to both the scope as well as the quantity of the known issues with the proposed project, approval will most likely result in a significant liability to the City of Huntington Beach. Development in the downtown area is a desirable, perhaps even vital opportunity for the city to grow, and by extension improve property values and quality of life for those of us who are lucky enough to reside here. However,these opportunities should not be used by developers to push upon the city projects that are ill conceived, not within the spirit of the Downtown Specific Development Plan, and frankly ill-suited to serve the general public. Failure to adhere to a strict interpretation of the guidelines set forth in the Downtown Specific Development Plan would also set a dangerous precedent for future development in the downtown area. There are currently several vacant lots in the close vicinity of this area, and should the precedent be set that the Downtown Specific Development Plan can be modified to this extent,any developer interested in building would be expected to request their own variances. This would make it very difficult to achieve the overall desired look of the downtown area. I would be happy to discuss my concern with you in greater detail at your convenience, and I look forward to hearing your responses to my comments. If the proposed project does go forward, I reserve my right to pursue any and all options available to me to appeal the decision, both through administrative appeals as well as via the court system.

So is that amending the prior uses or establishing new uses in conflict with the deed restriction? It's murky to me, but nonetheless interesting so I will be asking about it tonight. i just wanted to give you an advanced heads up so you can respond in an informed manner. Staffs Response: This language was in reference to the former theater use and was deleted as part of the Owner Participation Agreement (OPA) approved in 2009 by the City Council. August 12, 2012 Email: Based on the results of my research this weekend, I cancel my request for the full administrative record of Pierside CUP 88-7/CDP 88-3. But I am still interested in answers to all other questions in my prior email below. My research was into DTSP Code Amendment 88-3 before it was finalized as Ordinance 2942. 1 did not trace it ALL of the way back since there were quite a few council/PC iterations. But I discovered that the first iteration to include the LATE COMMUNICATION #13-2 PC MTG 8-14-12 Third St view corridor preservation requirement was straw-vote-approved by PC on March 15, 1988 (prior to this, the requirement only applied to District 2, but the March 15th meeting added District 3). As far as I can tell, PC took their final action on CA 88-3 on April 5, 1988, the same day that Pierside was heard. So in theory the Third St view corridor preservation requirement should have been known to both staff and PC prior to Pierside approval which conditioned the entitlements to take effect once the DTSP changes were finalized. The council minutes of the May 2, 1988-first reading of the DTSP changes are informative. It looks like between April 5th and May 2nd somebody realized the DTSP impact to Pierside. At that May 2 council meeting, a straw vote motion was made to change the view corridor preservation language from "shall" to "may", but it failed 2-5. The "shall" goes,on to persist to final adoption, only to surface 25 years later in the present. Staffs Response: The conceptual site plan for Pierside Pavilion was approved via CUP 88-7ICDP 88-3 by the Planning Commission on April 5, 1988. This site plan depicted an approximately 40' wide separation between Pierside Pavilion and Pier Colony (in the location of the proposed 3`d Street vacation). At the same time this project was being considered, the City was in the final phase of revising the DTSP. The staff report acknowledged there were revisions to the DTSP and that the proposed project conforms with the proposed changes. The only stipulation was that CUP 88-7ICDP 88-3 not take effect until the revisions (Ordinance 2942) to the DTSP were approved by the City Council. This condition only limited time by which the permits take effect and did not change the 40' separation. From this approval, we can deduce that the intent was the 40' separation was contemplated and consistent with the previous DTSP and changes to the DTSP, including the view corridor requirement. The applicant was issued building permits and the project was constructed as approved via the entitlements and conditions of approval with an j approximately 40' wide separation between Pierside Pavilion and Pier Colony. The proposed project maintains the existing width of approximately 40 August 9. 2012 Email: The bottom of att 4.21 of the PD code requirements memo notes that the planter/bench layout near the PCH bus stop creates a constriction that may impede pedestrian flow. I had that same observation just from looking at the plans before reading the PD memo. Does the reduced pedestrian clearance there meet all applicable code requirements and/or fall into the exception being sought by the Special Permit? Staffs Response; The pedestrian clearances meet all applicable requirements, no Special Permit is required. The Police Department reference is regarding overall pedestrian congestion, especially with the proposed cart locations. The project is required to comply with CUP 10- Page 2 of 3 017 (Pierside Carts) including the requirement to maintain a minimum of 10' clear between retails carts and any obstruction. Compliance with the requirements of CUP 10-017 may not permit carts in this location. Speaking of the Special Permit...the narrative mentions that one is being sought for the expansion and SPX references abound in the code requirements memos, yet the PC is not being asked to approve any Special Permit. The DTSP says that Special Permits get approved by ZA or PC, i.e. not the Director. So I'm confused about why no Special Permit is in the recommended PC action. I am confused by the saga of the carts/kiosks (before my time on PC and not something I tracked as a resident). Is the staff recommendation to stay with what council approved in the prior action? Staffs Response: A Special Permit is not required. Staff's recommendation is to comply with City Council action (CUP 10-017) and the location requirements stipulated in the conditions of approval. Any changes to the approved location of the carts are subject to City Council review and approval. Lastly, regarding the Third St view corridor, the BIXB-4 response regarding that is crafted with great finesse (which is a genuine compliment to the author), but as a full and complete explanation of that bit of project history it leaves me unsatisfied. I would like to obtain a digital copy of the entire CUP 88-7/CDP 88-3 administrative record so I can see for myself the discussion and plans depicting the then-approved 40-50ft "clear passageway". In theory you already have all of that at your fingertips.The key phrase in BIXB-4 is "not intended". Which is different than saying unambiguously that no Third Street view corridor obligation was imposed on the Pierside project by the adoption of Ordinance 2942. The original Pierside project entitlements were conditioned to take effect after the pending DTSP modifications in Ord 2942 were adopted. I'm still looking for a plain yes or no answer on whether the original project was subject to all of the Ord 2942 requirements by virtue of the way it was conditioned. Staffs Response: See response above under August 12, 2012 email. And I would lust like to reiterate here that the current applicant's plans on Sheet A-0 depict the proposed construction intruding into a labeled 60 ft view corridor) So whoever drew those plans seemed to be under the assumption that a full_) (width Third Street view corridor exists. Is it the city's assertion that Sheet A-0 is) in error? Staffs Response: Yes, this reference is in error.

The City is located within minutes of Long. Beach, Newport Beach, Irvine, and Costa Mesa, areas which have experienced a great deal of change In the past few }ears. This location means the City shares a sub-regional mzrket with portions of bn►.h Los Angeles and Orange. Counties. The Huntington Beach Downtown area has been the subject of many special plans and studies over the past. three decades. The area has a variety of residential, cummerclal, and recreational uses Surrounding an older Downtown core 'with the Municipal bier serving as the focal point. Huntington Beach has miles or prime public ocean frontage, with numerous vacant and under-utilized parcels across from the beach. The potential development sites In the Downtown are sizable and attractive and present various opportunities_ for consideration. The City recognizes that,market demand will exert pressures for the future development of.these:parcels. The City must respond to these demands in a manner which will achlev` the optimum potential while at the same time protecting the existing character of the neighborhoods. �IOU, The purpose of the Downtown Specific Plan is to encourage the revitali- zation of this important avea of liwstington Beach. The Plan promotes a mix of commercial. residential, and recreational uses which will be able to take advantage of the area's praAmity to the ocean. Many !mCt!ons of the ` Downtown project a negative In, of Huntington Beach. The effect of these existing conditions is to discourage new Investment, which in turn perpetuates the unsightly and unproductive environment. The principal goal of the Downtown Specific Plan ib to change the overall negative image which has evolved through the yews, and establish a framework for the physical Improvements, both public. and private, which will create an attractive, unique, vibrant and viable community that will make people want to live. work and play in Huntington Beach. The Huntington Beach Downtown Specific Plan sets forth development standards and recommends public improvements for the City's Downtown area. The Downtown Specific Plan is intended to implement the land use designations, In the Coastal Elerne i of the Huntington Beach lcneral Plan. This Specific Plan, along with zoning ordinances for those portions of the City's coastal zone outside the Downtown arta, and In conjunction with a Coastal Zone (CZ) suffix, will be the Implementing phase (phase the ee or j final phase) of the Local Coastal Program (L.CP). Upon certification of these ordinances by the State Coastal Commission, permit authority for most new development will once again become the responsibility of the City of Huntington Reach. 1.2 5 edfic Plan Er odurr. California State law authorizes cities with complete General Plans to prepare and adopt Specific Plans (Government Code Sections 65450 et. seq.). Specific Plans are intended to be a bridge- between the local Gen-ral Plan and individual development proposals. Specific Plans contain bc!h planning policies and regulations, and may combine zoning regulations, capital improvement programs. detailed development standards and other regulatory methods into one document which can be tallored to meet the needs of a specific area. Local planning agencies or their legislative bodies may designate areas within their Jurisdiction as ones for which a Specific Plan is "necessary or convenient" (Government Code Section 65451). The legislative body may adopt a Specific Plan either by ordinance or resolution (Government Code Section 65507). Adoption by r%rdlnance is common when the Specific Plan amends a development rode. zoning ordinance, or other code, when specific regulatory measures are included ,--.-..,. .when local charters require adoption by ordinance. Resolutions are cummGnty wed when the plan Is snare of a policy document. S'..ould the legislative body wish to change a proposed Specl:fic Plan recommended by the Planning Commission, the change must first be referred back to, the Commission for consideration, if not prevr1ously conswered, (Government Code Section 65504). If the Commissiot► fans to act an the proposed orange within 40 days, it is deemed approved. The same procedure applies to subsequent amendments to the plan. 4- (0062 D) Adoption or amendment of a Specific Plan constitutes a project tinder the California Environmental Quailty Act (CEQA) and the State's Environmental Impact Report (EIR) guidelines. If the: initial study shows that the proposed or amended General Plan could significantly affect the environment, the jurisdiction must prepare an EiR and submit it in draft form for public review. The reed for an EIR in a particular case Is determined by the iocal government. A Specific Plan and an EIR on a Specific Plan overlap extensively; they must address many of the same concerns and the proresa. for preparing them is nearly identical. Therefore, environmental assessment should be an Integral part of preparing nr revising a Specific Plan. L3 AD! orltY i The State of California requires that all cities and counties prepare and adopt a comprehensive General Plan for the physical development of their area of jurisdiction. Following the adoption of the General Plan, the entity i is required to develop and adopt regulLting programs (zoning and subdivision ordinances, building and housing nodes, and other regulations), which will implement the policies described in the General Plan. The Huntington Beach City Council adopted the Coastal Element as part of the City's General Plan on January 19, 1981. On March 16, 1981 Council j authorized staff to draft the Downtown Specific Plan as a means of implementing portions of the Coastal Element. Following review by the California Coastal Commission, the Coastal Element was amended by the City Council on August 2, 1982, and certified in geographic part by the Coastal Commission in November, 1982. The Coastal Element was again amended by the Council on May 16, 1983. This amendment along with any subsequent amendments brought about by the adoption of the Downtown Specific Plan will be submitted to the Coastal Commission for review and certification. 1.4 S'me The Downtown Specific Plan Is dividend, into four sequential sectiens. The first section describes the purpose and Intent of the Downtown Specific Plan along with a brief explanation of Specific Plan procedure and Authorization. The second section is intended to establish the reasons why the Specific Plan process is logical and necessary for this portion of the City. This section presents a general description.of the Specific Plan area including designated land uses, existing zoning and ►:xisting uses along with special charac— teristics and existing conditions which make this area unique, Section Three describers the Specific Plan design concept. .,The design concept evolves from the objectives outlined in Section One' and the existing conditions discussed In Section Two, along with input from numerous public tneetings and special studies comlucted by and for.the City. Section Three also presents the land uses proposed for varlous districts in the rownto►M area and the circulation, open space, public facilities and infrastructure vhich will support the land uses .aW reinforce the- design concept. Strategles for phasing'the Implementation of these facilities and features are outlin�,d .to coordinate Vw development of the Downtown area and . achieve the objectives identified in the City's Coastal Element. j _5... (446210) , Otx` � i 5eCtfon Four presents a detailed description of the development standards which are necessary to guide and regulate new development as well as to carry out the goa!s anal f*licles of the coastal Program. The development standards are listed by dirtric` enabling easy coraparison. This section also outlines the administrative procedures and general development provisions which are consistent in ;ill districts and apply to all development. The Introduction of; special use overlays for resource production and conservation are:es areal%o presented. An appendix has been compiled which contains the. special reports and studies from which many of the Concepts in this Specific Plan were derived, this appendix has not been incorporated into this document. Also prepared und!•r a separate cover (a the Downtown Sp,,!cific Plan Environrsentat Impact Report 82-2. i I i i i �® (0062D) i. .," C Ak � f! I i i 2.0 AREA DESCRIPTION The Downtown area is within the City°s coastal zone boundary and presents several particularly complex issues which have led to this unique planning approach. This area is characterized by numerous small parcels and j dispersed c.-vnerships with an extrerDely diverse mix of ac.tivi:es. Many of j the structures were built in the 1920's; some. are seismically unsafe. In addition, a large portion of the area is presently vacant wi6,a tremendous potential for deveiopi�ient. The California Coastal Act adds still another set of considerations to the planning proces by requiring that -certain regional and statewide coastal concerns be included In any plans for the area. 2.1 Bgun4ary The Downtown Specific Plan Includes the seventeen blocks on thw ocean side of walnut Avenue ,between Goldenwest and Sixth Streets, a c6ntral area between Sixth and Lake Streets extending up to Hartford Avenue, and properties' generally south of Atlanta Avenue between Lake Street and Beach Boulevard (see Figure 2.1). The Specific Plan area also Nneompasses the beach between Golden*est Street and Beach Boulevard. including the municipal pier. The Specific Plan area Includes approximately 336 total acres. �;�_ (0062D) 2.2 Genefal Plan De1jgr,&ti= Land use designations for the Specific Plan area were established by the City's Coastal Land Use Plan welch was adopted as part of the City's Coastal Element and became part of the City's General Plvn (see Figure 2.2). The Coastal Element used many of the same designations currently established for other parts of the City; in addition new designations which more specifically reflect the intent of the State Coastal Legislation were v1so adopted (Visitor-Serving Commercial, Mixed-Use (Affice/Residential), fixed-Use (.orimcrcial/Support Recreation), and Open Space (Recreation). I The adopted General Plan designates the seventeen block area between Goldenwest and Sixth Streets primarily far high density residential use with a maximum allewabie den:i ty of 35 units per acre on a fully consolidated block; this area accounts fo- approximately 44 acres. Within this section of ` the Specific Plan, three nodes are designated for visitor-serving commercial j uses, totalling approximately 8 acres. These commercial nodes Incic+de a two half blocks between Goidenwest and Twenty-ri:st Streets, and a two half blocks area between Eighteenth and Sixteenth Streets and one half block between Ninth and Eighth Streets. Another visitor-serving commercial area is designated adjacent to the municipal pier. This area Includes the five inland blocks facing Pacific Coast Highway between Sixth and Lake Streets and the pier and,a portion of the public parking lots. The visitor-serving commercial categor; Is a new designation created in response to the Coastal Act policy which enac•:rages adequate %isitor- serving facilities in the coastal area. The principal intended uses are hotels, motels. restaurants. theaters. museums, specialty and reach-related retail, i and service uses. These uses are located near visitor-drawing attractions such as the Municipal Pier and the beaches, and along major access routes from Inland areas. Office and residentip.' jses shall be conditions 1 and shall only he permitted if visitor serving uses are either provided prior to outer development or assured as part of the development. Inland from the first block, the plan designates fourteen blocks for mixed- use (office/residential) uses, approximately 52 acres. The City's General Plan includes a broad mixed development category Intended to encourage maximum flexibility. The Coastal Element refined the category to Provide more direction for the types and level of development desired. 'Iwo new mixed use categories were developed for the coastal zone. The intent of the mixed-use office/residential designation Is'to allt'.,w a mix of medium to high density apartments and .condominiums with professional office space. This can be accomplished by integrating residential and office uses within the some general area or by vertically mixing .these uses within the same building. Limited ancillary retail commercial and service uses are also conditionally permitted; however, the emphasis is on the office/ residential mix. Southeast of the Downtown core is another visitor-serving commercial area adjacent to Pacific Coas: Highway between Lake and Huntington'Streets, appre-ximately 13 acres. The area further. south a'iong the 'highway Is another new mixed-use designation, commercial/rerxeation, approximately 29 acres In size. This designation conditionally allows commercial Cacilides as a major use and recreational facilities as s support use. It is especially _g- (0462U) appropriate for large areas :ihIch can be planned as one coordinated development. The intent is to encourage Imes that are open to the public and that capit3liza on the beach locatio►t. The areas Immediately north of the commerciai areas adjacent to Pacific Coast Highway are designated for high density residential uses for a total of 57 acre3. Another new designation s open space recreation. which wild accommodate pas,-ive and active recreational uses. The entire beach area has this designation which encompasses approximately 103 acres. 7.3 Uitt ng Zoning Zoning throughout the Downtown area has evolved over the. years. There are predominantly two types of zoning presently in place, commercial (CJ) and residential, with residential densities vanging from low (Oldtown j Specific Plan) to high (114). E The majority of the property betwe!m Goldenwest and Lake: Streets is zoned i C3, general business district (Commrrr%.l). Th!s Includcs the front half of the s..venteen block3 between Goldenwest and Sixth Streets and moat of the central Downtown core area. The C3 zoning district allows ra wide variety of lm3L'. Including any use perrn,lttes In the City's three other commercial , zoning districts such as retail shops, banks, theaters. automobile (ales, professional officei, motels, and other uses. The C3 zone imposes ;ew development restrictions; there are no front, side or rear yard setbacks. no rnaximursm percentages of site coverage, no open space requirements and no height restrictions. The C3 zone fully developed would produce 90 gross acres of general commercial uses within the Downtown area with few design controls. The C3 zone does not provide the type of regulations zecessary to Implement the quality or developmemt envisioned for this area and therefore It is no longer an appropriate z;;ne for Downtown. The northern hair of the blocks between Goldenwest and Sixth Streets as well as a small portion of the central, core area are zoned R4, h!gh ;density residential. This zoning district allows one unit for every one thousand (1,000) square feet of lot area or a maximum of 35 units per gross acre for larger projects, with a height limit or .;30 feet. There are currently approximately ZS acres zoned R4. The R4 zone Is not specifically designed for the unique tyre of lot configurations and other characteristics of this area. without modification, including a greater degree of design controls, the R4 zone may not be compatible with the adjacent Townlot Specific Plan zoning district. Other zones within the Specific ,Plan area include NH (Mobile ' Home District), its (Office Professional Witrict) which allows hotels and 'motels at well as professional offices, R3 (bMedlum-High Desmsity.Residenolal 131ztrict), Old Civic Center Specific Plan (Mixed-Use, residential, icommercial and public rscill•des), Cl (Neighborhood Commercial District), C4 (Highway Commercial District). and`,V-P, (Community. Faculties District: -- Recreatten Areas). In addition,,a goninp, suffix of O or.01 (Oil District) Is on select parcels. The pr^ ent pattern of $put zoning with >itrip conarnercial is a response to past demands and no longer applies to the efforts of Downtown revitallxstion. tt 7.4 The existing land uses In the Specific Pitin area are extremely varizd and diverse. There are numerous cases of nonconforming uses and vacant or under-ut*.sized parcels. • ;n the seventeen blocks between Goidenwrst and Sixth Streets development is sparse. Many of the parcels which front on Pacific Coast Highway are elther vacant or used for oil product'.on, while many lets racing Wainut Street are developed as multi-family residences. A few -commercial establishments are also scattered along this strip, which account for approximately 50,000 square feet of commercial use. The area between Sixth and Lake Streets is often referred to as the Downtown "core." This was at one time the City's .prircipai commercial center; now, however, it is characterized by smaller scale uses; surf shops, thirft stores, coffee shops and similar establishments, primarily focused around Niala Street. Many of these Downtown prop®rties have exp , :nerd a rapid turnover In commercial tenants. The total amount of cv imerclat square footage presently in the Downtown core is approximately 160,000 square feet. Land uses farther away from Main Street become more mixed and Include j single-farally and multi-family residerces, o'_l activities. and parking lots along with commercial establishments 1--t the nort,Xrti tip of the Downtown j corer is the old Civic Center site (presently vacant except fx the City Library)bounded by Orange Avenue, Main, Fifth and Sixth Streets. j Another residential area exists adjacent to the Dowrtowr core.. between 3rd and Lake Streets and is devoted to 3 mix of single and multi-ra,nily ' ;esidentlal uses. The area along the southeaste r boundary cf tha Do-Kntown area, east of Lake Street, Is largely vacant. Pacific Coast Highway between Lake Str�nt .and Beach P40evard cortalim a mixture of activities. Two hotels are located in this aria which provide a total of hearty 200 rooms with restaurants, meeting roo as and recreaifonal facilities. Inland between Cake Street and Huntington Street, the lanii Is .rgely vacant and used for some oil facilities. The rettmaindt:r of the area is mostly comprise.i of mobile home r.,cs. The ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway Is totally devoted to public beach use. Bolsa Chica State Beach extends southeastward from Goldenwest Street to the Municipal Pier. This area Is presently undprriiag major renovation through a cleaning up and consolidation of oil operations and a t,ajar landscaping and accessway program. The City Beach lies between the Pier and Beach Boulevard. The area Is extensively landscaped ani contains approximately 2,000 parking spaces with various beac`i-orlented concessions. (0062 D) .raw•., , 2.5 Existing Condit[ Oil Production A large number of parcels In the Specific Plan area are currently In oil production. ranging from 25 foot wide lots to parcels several acres in size. Some parcels are owned by the oil Companies themselves and some are leased Srom private owners. There Is a possibility that many of these oil production facilities can be consolidated into smaller areas which would free additional land for development of other uses. A large OR firm analysed the potential for a unitization project and has taken the initial steps to unit formation with the acquisition of mineral rights. This will enable the remaining oil resources to be tapped from one or two select locations and 'herefore eliminate the need for pumping units scattered throughout the Downtown area. Parking Problems i Parking has long been an issue of great concern within the Downtown area. Part of the problem arises from the i'ict that many of the Downtown buildings and businesses were developed or established tinder the provisions of long outdated parking regulations. Convenient and abundant parking is a key ingredient for viable commercial development Downtown. Throughout most of the year. the ainount of parking available in the Downtown area is more than adequate to accommodate the demand generaged by recreation facilities. 1•lawever, during this summer there are days when parking capacity is exceeded. The provision cf adequate parking for beach users is a significant issue. i Beach parking lots arc currently providing the greatest number of space., however, additional parking adjacent to tha beach areas In private lots and along the shoulder of Pacific Coast Nlghway and other nearby streets provides an estimated 3,500 spaces. Vacant lots In the area fronting Pacific Coast lilghwsy between Goldenwest and Sixth Streets currently provide an additional 600 parking spaces; use of these lots for parking will phase out as development of tie are: occurs. Seismle Problems Over fifty buildings In the Downtown area have been identified as structurally unscund in the event of an earthquake. Most of these buildings are located in a four-block area In the central core. These existing buildings will ultimately have to either be improved to meet seismic standards or be demolished. Municipal Pier Problems In November. 1979, a structural survey of 01„ Municipal Pler was completed which identified Serious structural deficiencies and recommended replace- ment or reconstruction of a major portion of the Pier. The winter storms of 1,783 caused s+tbstantial damage to the Pier, ultimately resulting In the lass c the "End of the Pier" cafe. The City is committed to restoration of the ,Fier because of its special Identity and Its relationship to the Downtown area. •�l!- (0062D) Ownership Patterns The Specli"m Plan area between Goldenwest acid Lake Streets is charac- terized by a dispersed ownership pattern . There are a number of 2s foot wide lots held under separate ownerships. In many cases two small lots trove been combined to form SO foot wide parcels. In some instances mane lots have been consolidated to form quarter block, halt' block and even larger parcels. The City owns several parcels between Goldenwest and Lake Streets. Including one of the largest consolidated parcels, the old Civic Center site. The property south of Atlanta Avenue between Lake and Huntington Street Is consolidated under one private ownership and the 62 acres between Huntington Street and Beach Boulevard is owned by the City. The beach itself is controlled partially by the City (south of and Including the pier) and the State (north of the pier). Main-Pier Redevelopment Project The majority of the Downtowr, Specific Plan is also within the expanded Alain-Pler Re levelopment Project Area (Amendment No. M The Main-Pier Redevelopment Project was prepared in cnmpliance with the ; California Community Redevelopment Law which requires preparation of such a plan ar .nc basis for subsequent development of a more definite plan amendment for redevelopment within a designated Project Arec. The hiain-Pier Project Area has been determined to be blighted and requiring ! redevelopment to effectuate the public purposes which the California Community Redevelopment Law was designed to achieve. The Main-Pier Project Area Is part of the ongoing Community and Neighborhood Enhancement Program by the City of Huntington Beach to revitalize areas within the comm:.nity. The Redevelopment Program will enable the City of Huntington Beach to remove and mitigate adverse conditions within selected arras of the Downtown and help Improve the overall economic climate. The 'City's objective in pursuing the Nialn-Fler Redevelopment Flan Is to mitigate the severe development limitations that are now, and will be in the future, eonstraitsts to proper utilization of the Project Area. The Plan as presently envisioned will provide for the sale of properties and portions of properties to the Redevelopment Agency. However, if the owners of these parcels are desirous of participating in the project, owner participation arrangements will be made available. The most direct Impact to businesses and property owners within the Project Area will be the displacement (except for owner participants) resulting from implementation of the Redevelopment Plan. The redevelopment of this Project Area is expected to attalrs the purposes of Community Redevelopment Law of the State of California by: • Providing additional decent. safe and :unitary residential housing to the existing stock within the City. • Providing construction and employment opportunities In the development of these facilities and by providing employment opportunities in the operation of the proposed new comraerc.al and industrial facilities. , .W`. .,•a `.l. .'.., .:t.... !.'.,.. - f.'.. .. ... - .:.♦.f'..:�.�_ :rl 'c-77-iZi:, t�•1 • Mitigating severe development limitations which result In the lack of proper utilization or the Area to such an extent that it constitutes a �erlous physical, social and economic burden on the community which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterpri , acting alone. • Providing adequate public improvements, public facilities, open spaces and utilities which cannot be remedied by private or governmental action without redevelopment. • Implementing the construction of adegnate streets, curbs, gutters, street lights, storm drains and other improvements as necessary to ensure proper vehicular and pedestrian access within and around the Project Area. • Establishing development criteria and controls for the permitted reuses within the amended Project Area In accordance with modern and competitive development practices. • Providing for relocation assistance and benefits to amended Project Area businesses and residences which may be displaced, In accor- dan:e with the provisions or the Community Redevelopment Law and the government code of the State or California. f I I 13- (0062D) . 3.0 SPECIFIC PLAN CONCEPT 3.1 Qesien Cofirept The ocean is one main reason for the existence of Huntington Beach and Is the basis for its future. The design concept for the Downtown Specific Plan evolves from the ocean as the scurce and center of the City's vitality. Many existing and potential opportunities in Downtown Huntington Beach are possible because of this relationship to the ocean. The design concept emphasizes the ocean, ocean activities, forms, shapes and colors. This relation to the: ocean will Pstablish n theme to serve ins a guideline for new private and public investment in the Downtown area. The design concept concentrates on the City pier, realizing that all other areas within the Downtown are linked either directly or indirectly to the pier. The level of energy and excitem,nt generated at the pier-head area needs to be capit;pti=ed upon and spread through the Downtown core. The pier area has the potential to accommodate even more people than It presently does by offering a variety of uses, services and activities. Developments at the pier should be scaled to a pedestrian level :vlth passive activities suet. as strolling and viewing given equal consideration with more vigorous activities such as surfing, swimming and bicycling. Pec:wstrian boardwalks on various levels and the pier itself will offer views of the ocean and ocean activities. The overall form and shape of all development Its Downtown Huntington Desch should Allow people to see the ocean Front as many places as possible. the pier area will continue to serve ag the nta,ior attraction in the City and should become the catalyst for the revitalization effort. i r ..14_ (0062D) r ' ,e The design concept Identifies the pler-head and the area immediately across y Pacific Coast Highway as the focus for the greatest intensity of future development. These new developments should be scaled down and buffered -with intensified landscaping and compatible uses as the development approaches the existing residential neighboncLw�ds. The interdependence of ' public and private development activities will create a major activity node at the pier-head. An Important emphasis of the design concept Is to extend Main Street inland from the ocean and encourage pedestrian movement along the street. By expanding this activity from the pier. the commercial core along Again Street can lm-come a lively shopping thoroughfare oriented to pedestrians and offering opportunities to shop, dine or browse in an ocean-related atmosphere. A second major activity node is proposed for the area bounded by 6th Street, ' Palm Avenue, Lake Street.and Orange Avenue. A variety of activities could occur within this "super-block." The activities In Lhis area should b,: o a kyear-round variety, providing the convenience of neighborhood shopping and 6 the cluRtering of public and private services, along with new opportunities for living within walking distance of the ocean. The prospect a: two major activity nodes within walking distance of each other on opposite ends of the Alain Street commercial corridor will tend to encourage reinvestment and E revitalization of this important connecting link. 1 The Intensities In the Downtown core area are intended to be compatible with the adjacent tram Alonal areas and the surrourOng residential neighborhoods. Outside of the Downtown core, In the Townlot section of the Downtown Specific Plan (between Goldenwest and 6th Street), the design concept is for residential and visitor-serving commercial developments, which are intended to be not only compatible with the: existing residential area immediately adjacent, but to enhance arid reinforce the primarily residential character of else area. The establishment of a secure private residential community adjacent to. but adequately buffered from, the public areas is one of the objectives of the plan. The area southeast of the Downtown core (between Lake Street and Beach Boulevard) is intended to provide additional opportunities for residential and visitor-serving commercial uses. The comcrcial uses In this area are Intended to primarily service the seasonal trade and not corapete with the Downtown commercial area. The large consolidated parcels In this area allow for greater inteniltles and densities while still providing substantial opportunities for buffering and design controls. Public open space and recreational amenities should be an Integral part of any large projects, The intent of the design concept is to incorporate Into the study area a strong, recognizable physical Image and identity. The design concept Is accomplished by coordinating several related elements Into an overail ocean design theme, Including the following: -- Orienting Intensive land uses away from established residential neighborhoods. i �i :I i ..1 (0062D) , - 'Providing view,Ailjht and air corridors to the ocean.. Building architecture to reinforce this theme should be a modern or contemporary Mediterranean style of architecture. This architec- ture has elements of contemporary Mexican and Southern California architecture responsive to the climate and location. The climate and location indicate orientation to the prevailing breezes, protec- tion from sun and wind, view of the ocean, and use of light-colored durable materials which reflect sunlight and will be a background to brighter accent colors of streetscape and awnings. The elements of this architecture are: plain wall surfaces built of stucco or block-smooth surfaces, background wall colors from white to pastel shades, inset windows shaded from sunlight, brightly colored awnings, window boxes, flower pots, light fixtures and other building accents such as entry doors, creation of shade. for pedestrians by use of awnings and courtyards, minimum of "reflective" glass. outdoor eating and pedestrian areas to maximize views to the ocean. I - Streetscape elements should be brightly colored and should relate to i the ocean theme in form and shape. The streetscape element is meant to be the accent element In Downtown, played off against the white and pastel of the building forms and shapes. Pubiic areas should be integrated into development proposais In key locations or in conjunction with major consolidation projects. Ocean-related and oil-related artifacts may be incorporated Into public areas. Establish guidelines for elements such as signilge, landscaping, and lighting which will create the visual character of the area. Design Guidelines for the Downtown Specific Plan will be prepared separately and adopted by resolution of City Council. This document should sere as a tool for review of development proposals within the Specific Plan area. Gnaphic elements should to bright colors to contrast with the background architecture. The content of the ,,raphlc elements could be abstract versions of waves, forms of sea animals and symbols and forms that evoke water-related activities with movement and action, to reinforce the ocean theme. - Establishing a framework of landscaping and identify elements to provide Interest and character to specific locations. This concept will provide a logical, coherent, unified network of land uses, activities and circulation systems. Landscaping materials for Downtown should be associated with the ocean environment (such as palms) and extensively used for buffering in transitional areas. -16- (0062 D) The design concept is the coordinating element of the Downtown 5pecIfIc Plan and is Intended to enhance the architectural concepts with existing, physical realities and to create a viable environment in which both new and long—timv residents are able to live, work, shop and re;.Teate in a desirable atmosphere. The governing land uses and regulations for this speciric plan are contained in the Coastal Element and section 4.0, "Development Standards." i i j iJ i I I �i it i� »l7- (0062D) ': I 1 3.? The Downtown Specific Plan area has long seined as an area of nixed uses acid activities. This area contains the City's initial commercial care and the original residential neighborkrodss; along with the recreational arxi oil production resources which have contri}ut ad to the City's identity. The Downtown Specific Plan prsapases to continue this combination of uses and activities with land use designatieru which are primarily mixed-me 1 tyVes. As identified in Section 'Iwo o7 this &kcument. the City's adopted Coastal E:lemeni provides for mixed uses in this area; however, the Specific � Plan proposes mcxiifications to the previously adopted land ust, configurations." The land use deslgnations include. Mixed-Vie i (Office/Residential/Commercial), Mixed-Use (Commercial/Recreation), Commercial (Visitor-Serving), Residential (High Density) and Open Space � (Recreation). i The Specific Plan area is divided into eleven Districts (see Figure 3.2). Each District is unique in character or in parcel configiTatiun and each with a different aspect to emphasize. Several Districts are composed of subdivided blocks containing many small fats in separate ownerships. A few districts consist of large undivided parcels unsder unified control. The proposed land use designations anti dif,trict configurations are intended to anticipate development demands and achieve the optitnum potential within the identified design concept. 3.2.1 Mixed-Use (Office/itt!sldential/Cotr.merci:tl) The mixed-rise designation is intended to encourage maximum flexibility for the variety of uses allowed. This mixed-use designation includes ilvbv W Districts (District }'bVt( Five anti Six) totaling approrimalely h"_ 33 gross acres.

District FLyc is the primary commercial core area serving as a commercial link between the pier—head area and District Six (the top of Main Street). District Five Includes approximately 20 gross acres with an emphasis on commercial activities, however, an option for office, residential or additional commercial. activities above the first floor Is provided. This multi-use aspect Is Intended to create a lively place to be day or night for both visitors and residents. Main Street should maintain a pedestrian- oriented 0topping street character. Commercial uses should be required on the ground floor with building fronts close to the sidewalk to establish a more intin.lte scale. In order to afford the visual, climatic and recreation amenities of this unique area to a greater number of people, higher C residential demsities should be pro�rided. Offices should be encouraged to locate In this district In order to help establish the desired Downtown ! atmosphere. I The commercial emphasis of this district can be achieved with varying Intensities, provir..ng the commercial link between Orange Avenue and the pier along Main Street is not broker, at the pedestrian level. This district should encourage rehabilitation as well as new development. The larger scale new development (one full block or greater) should not detract from the potential development in District Six or District Three (the liter-head). This District is Intended to connect the two major Modes with an interest element which can best be achieved with a continuaf.ion of the pedestrian- oriented commercial District; rehabilitation and new developed should be scaled and designed with this intent. The plan anticipates that this District can accommodate approximately 150,000 square fact of commercial uses with approximately 75,000 square fret of office and 200 new residential uni ts, trr�'.4�LbillSP�tlr�rritrdl Ntdhit/�;f►6 'ScSfhtfJ ri/dfLQ'MMffift/eft AbWldk inbl'/l'�1dif��lj/dl t/�ittd//b:r"s{X.1l�idJ/ltt�Llbla3�ls�dl�iB'�!%/161t�1�131�+/`dJ/Alit ¢Tyr/61/ii(rldl�/MfddJN.hldttitb#1/�ltdytl "l tlldl&Mdt'M/tbMt3ffd IAM Pi{tltil6f!/�l`E�,f f$�/¢Itithffldy/lK/.tf,�!`�'r4.�/lt6tbgflff�d!/I�D4kttd�f/h4'til/g�/ /d�ldf tbtdtbi3l/l3/�b�l/1df�.fr1 rY�ktttliitftl(ldlri�/h4a'�ffl rGtfi'/s1{��d�Ji./fdd/la�Ilby!/�r'.b'/A �SbN,b'�tt'�r//Ib�/l�btf�t ird d!///1L'k{�//dll�(fYdl/11i!/lh�,bitd�'//f6ll�41'dttlld/Qdbl sEtt�rrt�s��rdsl�r.�r�,��irrt�tdtr�.n►r�n�/,�l�tt,�ihu�,tr�,��ru�t�ld��l.�t� r�t�•rs�l�afr�r�a�la��.� �r/lJrnt�I��i� ����,shs�/� ��dn tll�i�fi!/�{?f!//dtl►'.b�/!d!/lhlf�lll'//P.bNdldaf�t//.f�f 1l1lSt/!/��ldfiR!/Ndf ribi/ -19-- (0062D) AbW16th(AMW1 D( trigi: .Six-is Int adpd to be _a nei -orlented Aping and_serelce area with public rmthcrhig angts, oven soati-aod 121ax�SMIges such a$ the Ubr ry. pgst_offlS - bgnkys; and theat-.rl 1hgulsi be loca d,he ,._The commercial _a ,s show Qee-_n_1er--il round th year-Zvi ni d ragnts and include erocerv._phIrmat,y. hardware stores. etc, District. x Is ay rolmately 23 gros acres in ng numerous streets and alleys with a pQtential for vacation, Thls distr(ct is iotgrjdcd to RCsi ldc p grtU��ltics for ngw or ace and_resiftntial daveloPments In r&nJunetIon__with thti commercjaacxiv_ities, This Distrio niust,be sensitive In design anti scale of new _ LrJQpment tQ --the ad scent re ential neighborhoods. District Six provides a great potential to master plan a large portion of the Downtown area for new development which will create new opprv.urddes to shop, work and live in an ocean-related atmosphere. The Plan anticipates that this District can accommodate approximately 130,000 square feet of commercial. 75,000 square feet of office and 200 new residential units. In both Districts Five and Six, open air commercial establishments, such as sidewalk cafes, and magazine racks and flower stands are encouraged. A requirement for additional public open sp:4ce amenities should be f Incorporated into all large scale projects. These areas may Include patios, i balconies or terraces with landscaping, public seating with additional i amenities such as sculpture er other art objects. Corner plazas will also be { encouraged along Main Street and should be required In any full block or multi-block consolidation project. 3.2.2 Mixed-Use (Commercial/Recreation) As stated previously, the mixed-use designation Is intended to encourage maximum flexibility for the variety of uses allowed. The mixed-use (coin mercW/recreaIon)designation applies only to District Stine. 12i t ict Nine is an area approximately 29 gross acres In size owned entirely by the City. This District Is intended to develop with recreatlon-oriented j commercial uses, Including tennis and racquetball courts, swimming pools, ! gymnasiums or health clubs. Combined with these open air or enclosed sports and recreation facilities, hotels or motels with supporting restaurants and shops would be appropriate uses. Large coordinated development Is I encouraged in this District which provides an ocearr-oriented atmosphere with opportunities for public beach access. The Plan anticipates commercial recreation development with a potential for 300-40a hotel rooms. 3.2.3 Commercial (Visitor-Serving) The visitor-saving commercial designation is a new category adopted In the City°s Coastal Element In response to State Coastal Act policy which encourages adequate visitor-serving facilities in the coastal area. The visitor-serving commercial designation Includes four Districts (District One, Three, Seven and Ten). totaling approximately 51 gross acres. _2(� !0062D) i i tricl-ft is composed of three separate nodes of small lot ownerships for a total of approximately 8 gross acres. Commercial uses In this District are Intended to serve the visitors to Bolsa Chica State Beach as well au the surrounding residents. The commercial uses allowed In this District should not compete with the Downtown commercial core. The District One nodes will be surrounded by primarily medium to high density residential uses; therefore, residential uses should be permitted In conjunction with the necessary visitor-serving commercial uses. This type of mixed use may create an additional incentive for development, while providing more opportunities for people to live near the ocean. All new development should be designed and scaled to be compatible viith the character of the adjacent residential areas. The Platt anticipates service-oriented commercial for a total of approximately 60,000 square feet with the potential for new residential units. D1UdC Three is proposed to be the hub of the Downtown core, containing higher intensity visitor-serving, uses such as hotels, restaurants and museums along with speclslty shops and beach-related commercial uses, district Three includes approximately 15 gross acres and is part of the pier-head node described in the design concept. This District is a prime visitor- serving commercial location directly across from the municipal pier and beach, on either side of Blain Street. This location, if properly developed, will provide visitors and residents with numerous opportunities to view the beach activities and truly experience the ocean environment. District Three is identified as the most appropriate location .for high intensity develop- ment; therefore, large minimum parcel sizes should be established. Hotel, retail, restaurant and other commercial uses volth structured parking which could also service the pier and Alain Street would be appropriate uses for this District. Development, in; 'District Three could be consolidated .Intou "rriultl-Sloc;< `parcels providing for greater design fle-xibUity; however„ view, �corrldnrs ;should -be maintained along` the 'existing right-•of-ways. Restaurant and retail space should be developed at the street level on Main Street and Pacific Coast Highway. Large areas devoted to public open space should be provided for within development projects similar to that described for Districts Five and Six. The vitality and magnetism associated with such areas will be critical to tite reinforcement and continuation of commercial developments throughout the Downtown core. Additional inducements may be necessary to attract the type of vlahle development which will support and Improve the entire area; therefore, office and high density residential uses should be permitted, however. only as part of a mixed-use project and only above the pedestrian level which should remain commercial. 'Anticipating high_intensity development �,irr 'thls° ;District ;requlres' ,t a: additional' design 'cons ideratlons be, ;addressed;: upper 'story,sett:acks, staggered building envelopes, preservation,'of ,view light and air corridors; should all.be Included In any project review• I,n order to assure,that the area; �.malntain-a pleasant pedestrian environment. The design concept calls-for an emphasis on pedestrian level amenities and a gradual controlled transition in building helL:its and uses between the commercial core and the adjacent residential uses. --21- (006213) Y This concentration of new devk.1,7pment .:cross from the pu"Jic: use areas of District Ten (the pier) wit: provide an economic: base for the tyke of renovation essential to the pier and beach front. This new economic vitality is intended to establish a greater year-round market for the City to help support the overall revitalization effor% I The Plan anticipates that District Three can support 400-800 hotel rooms and associated commercial facilities. This District would also be an appropriate location for a performing arts center or multi-purpose facility which could be used by the hotels and the ocean-oriented museum!a4uariurn use Identieled In District Ten. This District may also provide an opportunity for new residential units. Time-sharing residential units may also be a desired use in conjunctlon with pedestrian level commercial. In ell, approximately 100,000 square footage vT commercial/office uses including hotels and time-sharing residential, along with 200-400 rew residential units could be accommodated In this District. DjUd.Ck_,5gvM is a consolidated parcel under one ownership and is approximately 13 gross acres. District Seven should be master planned as a primarily visitor-serving commercial project, which could be implemented over a number of phases. Hotel, motel, restaurant and specialty commercial would be appropriate uses. Development In this District Is not intended to compete with the Downtown commercial core_ therefore, major incentives for development would not be necessary. The commercial uses in this District would be of a more seasonal variety with the District serving as a connecting link between 0._— Downtown area and District Nine. The Platt anticipates visitor-serving commercial can be accommodated with a 200-400 room hotel. Qjs riot Ten ircludes the area on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Hlgjr,'ay most suited for commercial development. This District includes the pt,r and the existing parking areas on either side, comprising approximately 15 gross act es. The visitor-serving commercial uses most appropriate for this District are beach-related and complementary to activities VM6 occur around the pier, such as fishing, surfing and seat bathing. Additional parking In structures would also be appropriate provided that they do not extend above the level of Par Ific Coast Highway and block views. This provision should still provide for the opttor of rnulti-ievel commercial activities fit this District. 'the pler is a prime location Ter restaurants. which can take advantage of the panoramic views. Equally impnrtant as the new commercial activities which may be accommodated Is to insure that the major emphasis In this District Is public open space. The pier and beach area must remain accessltle to the public for free recreational pursuits. District Tan is part of the pier-read node as described previously. This commercial>rccreatlonal activity node is of primary Importance in the revitalization effort of the City. Development within this District will probably be initiated with City effo.ts. The extent and Intensity of development in District Three and further Inland wail directly determine the amount of revitalization v►hicti can occur to the pier and the.beach-related commercial t:ses which can be accommodated. In addition. the presettt amount of parking can be approximately doubled without obstructing views or drastically changing the overall chase+cr of the District. -22- f 3.2.4 Residential (Nigh tenuity) The residential designatior includes Wd Q= Districts (District Two, J2Ntrict Mir and Eight) exclusively for residential uses. Dist.,ct Iwo extends from Goldenwest Street to 6th Street between Pacific Coast Highway to Walnut Avenue. District Two is subdivided Intc numerous twenty-five foot wide lots with very diverse ownerships encompassing approximately 44 gro.:s acres. District Two is 'intended to develop as a contlnuation of the type and variety of residential development which exists In the adjacent Townlot Lrea. The development regulations should similar and :ompatlbie with those In the Townlot area, with the exception that larger projects (one full block or more) should be provided with additional incentives to encourage lot consolidation. Consolidation of the numerous small lots which are spread throughout the District is one of the objectives of the Plan. In order to accomplish this, the allowed density in the District should increase as the aarcel size increases. C:oruolidation is desirable in this District as a means to achieve the design controls and variety of residential t;Jpes which will pr*duce quality residential development which is sensitive to the adjacent neighbors' concerns. gluld-block consolidations may a;so be allowed to promote better design; however, view tiorridors should be maintained along the existing right-c►- ways so as to not adversely affect the residential a:eas further inland. Projects of one full block. or greater should be allowed additional height in which to achieve the allowed density with a design which takes advantage of the projects location while remaining compatible with adjacent uses through upp<:r story setbacks and other design replations. The Plan at:ticipates that few projects will be able to take advantage of the provisions allowed for a full block ccrsolidaticn. Residential development in District Two may result in 800-1000 new residential units. Oil uses should also be allowed to continue in designated areas.

Projects, if properly Will be able to maximize view opportunities r!r,d access to secreaticnal amenities. The two project areas within the tistrict should be master, planned (separately) prior to any s0AIvision. -23- (0062D) New residential development. adjacent to the Downtown commercial core will provide the proposed commercial uses with the population base necestwary to create viable services. The new residential development should also b► designed to be compatible with the residential areas to the north. The plan anticipates development In District Eight to achieve the full potential of maximum density resulting in 1800 new residential units. Oil uses should also be allowed to continue in selected Islands within a portion of the District. 3.2.5 Open Space (Recreation) The open space designation constitutes an imporr.int land use throughout the coastal zone and particularly in the Downtown .Specific Plan. The open space (recreation) is a new designation developed In the Coastal Element in keeping with State Coastal Act policy concerning shoreline access and recreation facilities. Distrir.• ElevC is designated open space (recreation) and Includes the area on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway between Coldenwest Street and Beach Boulevard, with the exception of the area in District Ten; a total of 1 approximately I03 gross acres. This District is Intended to preserve and protect the beach area within the Specific Plan. Only beach-related j activities should be permitted in this District. Th- popularity of the beach and the expectation that beach use will continue to increase in the future, makes it important that the Specific Plan preserve as much of the beach as possible. It Is also important to provide facilities for beach users, such as testroom facilities and concessions for food, dristl--s and beach Equipment as well as maintaining as much public parking as possible. Ali development should be scaled and limbed to enhance and not detract from the beach experience. j The Plan anticipates development within this District to to lirniteA to concession stands, recreation facilities and beach parking improvements. � Oil uses should be allowed to continue in a peirtion of the District. The City has historically had a policy to preserve its beach front for the Enjoyment of all. The Downtown Specific Plan cont'inues this long-standing tradi-dois insuring safe and convenient access to the beaches within this District. ".#-- (0062 D) i 3.3 Circulatiou The provision of adequate transportation 1s an important concern for any development program. The Downtown Specific Plan calls for the use of a variety of transportation modes to facilitate the convenient and efficient movement of people in and near Downtown Huntington Beach. Beach goers. commuters, Downtown shoppers snd local residents all share the circulation system, and each has their own transportation needs. The Downtown Specific Plan attempts to provide a circulation system that better accommodates all user., with the roliowing a`ajectives: i Provide convenient access to the beach and to beach parking facilities. - Improve safety and efficiency of the existing circulation system. -- Provide convenient access to Iocal business. encouraging shopping on Main Street and in the other commercial Districts in the Specific Plan area. -- Facilitate commuter traffic on Pacific Coast Highway by minimizing cross traffic anI providing alternative routes for local residents and shoppers. - Provide adequate parting for shoppers patronizing Downtown commercial establishments as well as for residents and visitors. Provision rif beach parking is especially important to ensure that beach users do nPx compette with shoppers for parking spaces, making access to commercial establishments inconvenient. Encourage and accommodate public transportation. -- Accommodate a bikeway system that encourages the use of bicycles fc-everyday transportation as well as for recreation. Provide a pedestrian system that is safe. pleasant and convenient. 3.3.t Automobile Circulation The, C:ity's Circulation Plan of Arterial Streets and Hlgnways differentiates i arterials by their street: widths and capacities (see Figure 3.3-1). "Majorn. arterials have a Planned street ROW of 170 feet and have an optimum capacity of 45,000 vehicle3 per day. -25- (006213) "Primary" arterials are planned at a Row of l00 feet and can optimaily accommodate 30,000 vehicles per day. "Secondary" arterials are planned at a ROW of SO feet and can optimally accommodate 20,000 vehicles per day. Local streets are not shown on the Circulation Plan, but they are an Important part of the overall circulation system. The San,Diego FrejeAU, an important route outside the Downtown Specific Plan area, parallels the coastline approximately six miles inland and connects Huntington Beach with other communities throughout the region. Ancess to this freeway is critical and may be an important constraint to future development along the coast. Beacuse of its proximity to the shoreline, the Specific Plan area is in a less-than-ideal situation in terms of freeway accessibility. Being far from the freeway it is presently !Inked by only a limited number of arterials. segments of which are congested at times. The Downtown Specific Plan has attempted to de-emphasize the. area's rellarce on the freeway in terms of future growth by encouraging; higher j density and mixed--use Districts. in the Downtown. to addition, the j concentration of people and activities Into a compact area helps to make mass transit more viable than in scattered locations. Thus, while the { Downtown is not ideally located In terms of the freeway. actions are being j tutdertaken to ameliorate this situation. The improvements proposed for the Downtown Specific Plan area are i intended to augment the capacity of the existing circulation system and to Increase its safety and efficiency. Goldcnwest StreeLand D&aGh_?AM1,Cygd, located at either end of the Downtown Specinc Plan area, are the major arterials connecting the coastal area to the freeway and inland communities. Based on the resign and capacity criteria traffic or. Beach Boulevard currently exceeds that street's optimum capacity from Warner Avenue north to the freeway. Existing traffic on Goldenwest Street is not as great as that on Beach Boulevard; haweve:, the optimum capacity of this street Is a1w exceeded from McFadden Avenue north to they freeway. The Initial focus of the plan Is to increase the accessibility of the coastal area to the freeway. The Orange County Transportation Commission and the City are studying the area between Gothard Street and Beach Boulevard as a possible location for a transportation corridor. Along Beach Boulevard alternative modes to the automobile are being considered as veil as ways to increase automobile capacity through different loading techniques. pA.QWC_CA,1St Jilghwav (PCH) is the major traffic carrier In the Downtown Specific Plan area. Running parallel tc the shoreline, It provides the p:ittclple access route connecting Huntington Beach with adjacent coastal cities. This four-lane highway, currently designated as a primary areterial, is pn-,po.Sc�+ to be upgraded to a major status. PCH should be Increased fivm four lanes to six. The California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) has proposed to achieve this .hy simply removing all parking alting the curb to fully utilize the existing curb-to-curb width. ;his will Increase the capacity of PCH to that of a major arterial within the existing 100' riot-of-way. _26- (0062D) Traffic volume on PCH creates one of the most s'grtlficant circulation problems in the Downtown area. A variety of improvements to Interior streets as well as w PCH are proposed to help reduce congestion. Accidents along PCH are also a serious problem. One of the reasons for the high accident rate Is the large number of pedestrians corning to the gash from inland areas, crossing PCH at mid-block or at nonsignallzed Inter- seci+i.)ns. Another hazard Is created by automobiles turning from PCH to numbered streets, and from numbered streets to PCH, at the non-s I gnat lZed intersections. Curb-side parking on PCH creates another source of accidents. Several actions can be taken to improve these conditions. First, a compre- hensive signalization pattern, will better control vehicle access onto PCH. Second, the number of streets with access to PCH shotald be reduced. This can be achieved by cul-de-sacing or in some areas creating parking bays in the existing street right-of-way. The following atrects a.-e possible locations for restricted access: 2nd, 3rd, Sth, 7th, Stha 10th, 12th 13th, 1Sth, 16th, ISth, 19th, 21sr and 22nd. In multi-block developments, access to the project could be taken from existing streets but through-traffic should be discouraged. A third method to control access Is to construct a ` raised landscaped median along the entire length of PCIf, with openings only at through-streets and signalized intersections. Such a rredlan could better separate traffic and be designed to inhibit pedestrian raid-blot* crossings. Fourth, reducing on-street parking along PCH will help eliminate another source of serious accidents. Fifth, construction of overpasses at key locations along PCif would provide sate pedestrian access, and reducing interruptions to the automobile traffic t'low. Finally, prohibition of curb cuts on PCH could also help reduce accidents. This strategv requires alternative access points for new developments. In the area between Lake Street and Beach Boulevard, the proposed Walnut Avenue extension could serve new developments. Northwest of Lake Street, additional dedication should be required to increase the width of the parallel alley, so that access can be taken from the ally and not directly from the highway. AlUnt:t Avp,Uc should serve as an important route from Beach. Boulevard to � the Downtown core and the City beach. This arterial should be planned to connect with Lake Street and Orange Avenue to form an Inland route which can be used as an alternative to Pacific Coast Highway. The Intersection of Atlanta Avenue, Lake Street and Orange Avenue should be set aside for additional study. pge_-Avenue - Atlanta Avenue r-houid service the Downtown core as a primary arterial, however, the continuation of Orange Avenue into the Townlot area should remain as on'y one lane In each direction. The use or some type of traffic control device may be required at the intersection of Orange Avenue and Sixth Street to divert the Downtown traffic away from the residential areas. This intersection should be set aside for additional study. St-varlye nth 5jrg_et end Lake_ Street are the existing primary arterials leading Inland from the beach area. These routes should continue to serve as primary arterials, with only one lane in each direction. Sixth Street Is proposed as a secondary arterial which will establish the northwestern boundary of the Downtown core. Sixth Street extends Inland from PCH to -27- (0062 D) S F Main Street near Acacia Avenue, and should replace fMh Street which Is presently designated as a secondary. The remaining local streets form ;a grid pattern through the Townlot and Downtown areas, and should continue to serve primarily local needs. Main Street is a more significant local route which run, through the center of Downtown core and is in direct line with the municipal pier. Its relationship to the pier and the Downtown core make Alain Street the most Important visual/pedestrian corridor in the Downtown area. Alain Street's role as an automobile carrier within the. Downtown should be de-emph.,sI2kd with primary concern focused on pedestrian circulation. Main Street -should continue Inland from the Downtown core as a local street with one Lane of travel in .each direction, Consideration should be given to connecting IndiaoMru Avenue, designated as a secondary arterial, with Maier Street and the Downtown area. The intersection of ?,gain Street and Sixth Street with a possible Interconnection to Indianapolis Avenue via Lake Street neecis additional study. !Qotli gd I.Sireet also provides a logical trararrtation corridor, with a connection at ?`fain Street. Modes other than automobil el, should be 1 considered. The Southern Pacifier Railroad rraintaiaq an ope:rab.e line along this corridor, (north of Gal field Avenue) connecting to the: Pacific Electric right-olf-way which runs parallel to Lake Street (south of Garfield Avenue) into the Downtown. These routes may be critical to the efficient movement of people through the City In the future. �, 1V - v could scn,c as another inland route to connect Beach Boulevard and Lake Street. if possible, this route smuld be designed to tie Into any future extension of Hamilton Avenue west to Beach Boulevard. Right-of-way dedication for this purpose should be required in nev developments In this area. This street could provide safe and convenient access to the commercial areas east of lake Street and an alternative to PCH. 'Total right-of-way width for this service road should be 100 feet (primary arterial) to accommodate four traffic lanes. a laneiscaged median, landscaped parkway, sidewalks and bike lanes. Relaware Strut should also serve as an Inland route from PCH and should remain as a secondary arterial highway. Delaware Street should connect with Huntington Street and ultimately with PCH at the present intersectlotn of Huntington Street and PCH. Long range development in the Downtown area -may require vacation of streets to accommodate multi-black :-evelopments. Some possible locations for abandonments would be the first block of Fifth. Second and Third Streets. In the area bounded by Orange. Paint, lake and Sixth a "super block" development --oncept Is being conside.ed. This would require vacation of nearly all streets within District 6. i Proposed improvements to the circulation system can be provided by utilising a combinatlon of funding sources. Some projects, such its the PCH re-striping project, qualify to be at least partially funded by State and Federal highway monies. Other Improvements, such as cul-de-sacs and the proposed Walnut Avenue extension, could be financed through lass Increment ti monies from redevelcpment. Assessment Districts provide another :Weans to fund street improvements. These Districts are designed to charge developers and property owners wM will directly benefit from the improvement. In cases where additional right-or-way is needed, dedication requirements can be placed on new developments as a condition or aporovat. The future development of commercial uses in the Downtown will depend on the ability of the circulation system to move people through the area efficiently. The Circulation Plan of Arteriai Streets and Highways should bs amended to reflect the proposed changes as discribed In this section (see Figure 3.3-3). 3.3.2 Parking The provision of adequate parking is vital to the successful operation of any commercial area. Residents, businessman, visitors, and planners each have different definitions of the word adequate when It pertains to parking. The procedures used to develop and control parking spaces in typical urban areas vary appreciably and at times become rather complex. barking strategies for the Downtown Specific Plan area, for Both normal residential and commercial requirements, are complicated further by the proximity of the beach and the different types of parking needs of beach uses. i Although no format parking strateg:• has been prepared by the City, consideration has been given to various procedures which could be used to identify and satisfy the parking needs of different types of packers. i barking spaces for Downtown shoppers should be provided at a limited number of curb spaces. in off--street parking lots and in parking, structures located within or immediately adjacent to the Downtown area. barking controls, such as time limits end parking rates, should be adjusted to maintain the desired we of these spaces by shoppers and employees. The location of parking in relation to Downtown commercial areas is constrained by the availability of land, its high cost (either in dollars or in lost opportunitlf-) and the distance which people are willing to walk from centralized lots or structures to reach their destination. Studies have shown that in order to receive optimum utilization by shoppers, a parking facility should be within 300 to 400 rent or the commercial use which it serves. For workers, or other people who are parking for the whole day, the distance can be as great as 1,500 feet. These constraints must be copAdered when evaluating possible locations for parking facilities. A no sable site for a structure would be the City-owned property located south of Orange Street between Fifth and Main Streets which consists of 10 consolidated lots. This would be an excellent location for serving future Downtown development. Other parking racility sites within the Downtown core may be needed, depending on the consolidation peattems and intensity of uses which develop there. As specific projects are developed, such as hotels, commercial, office and/or residential complexes, their individual parking needs will be Identified and satisfied through the construction of specific aM related parking eacilitici. These parking spaces should be controlled to varying degrees: and not open to general public use. -29- (0062D) New commercial and restaurant development out the beach side of Pacific Coast Highway, on or adjacent to the pier, should be constructed on top of a decked parking structure which could be open to the public and would provide parking for a variety of patrons of the pier facilities, the restaurants, the commercial establishments along Main Street, and the beach users. Since the periods of peak parking demand for these different types of users vary to some extent, file utilization of the parking structure will be improved and parking revenues from it will be Increased. Although a large number of parking spaces are now provided for beach users, there is a shortage during periods of peak partronage and drivers attempt to find open, and free, curb parking spaces In residential and ether areas inland of Pacific Coast Highway. Consideration should be given to the use of remote parking areas and jitneys or other means of direct transportaion to and from the beach. While this procedure Is not considered to be viable at this time, it Is planned that continuing efforts will be made to develop this type of service. The replacement of beach parking lots with structures provides a means of Increasing capacity without sacrificing additional valuable beach space. This action is expensive, however, and is not felt to be economically justifiable at this time since additional beach parking Is presently required only during a limited member of peak weekend hours a year. Much of the presently vacant land in the Townlot area, however. Is now used for parking purposes by beach users and this land will be zbsorbed into development projects. When that occurs, thousands of future beach users will be required to find other parking spaces. Consideration should be given to the possible development of joint use parking structures adjacent to the beach area. The owners of residences and their guests frequently encounter problems due to the intrusion of beach users Into residential areas in search of parking spaces. While the closing of various streets between Walnut Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway may alleviate this condition to some extent; It will not completely solve the problem. Public participation in providing parking could help to encourage uses which � otherwise would not be viable. For example, the City could participate in forming parking assessment Districts, or could donate land (such as street vacations) or write-down land costs for the construction of parking structures. Merchants could then lease spare In these structures_ on an annual fee basis or by setting up a system of validated parking. ,As new development occures. each developer could be assessed an in-Ileu fee to offset the costs of building parking structures nearby, thus satisfying parking requirements. Additional parking opportunities may also be developed into the bluff top landscaping project presently under Phase one c.onstruction. Subsequent phases to this project could +nclude surface parking between 9th and 11 th streets, parking pockets Mot% Pacific Coo.ist Highway ate parking structures on the oil service 'road below the bluff face, where they can be screened from the highway and not block ocean views. -30- (0062D) P Financing strategies are Important considerations for actual implementation of parking structures. Parking structures could be provided by the private sector, however, the problems of assembling large parcels tinder the present fragmented ownerships and the difficulties in bringing a large number of parties together cooperatively, makes this option difficult to achieve. One form of public participation In parking would be a !oint effort by the City and private Interests. The City could build structures with "in-lieu" fees and allow a private company operate the structures for profit. The City might receive a portion of the revenues to retire any debt. In-ilea fees could substitute for the provision of on-site parking by new development. f These fees would be paid to a fund administered by a City parking agency which would obtain sites and construct parking structures. In-lieu fees provide dollars for capital Improvements. but not for on-going operation and maintenance. One approach to covering these expenses Is to require continuing responsibility for off-site parking by those developments which originally contracted for it by charging ,yearly fees based an the number of spaces provided. Operations and maintenance could also be supported in part by charging parking fees to users. These fees could be paid either by the patrons directly or by the businesses through validating parking tickets for customers. Even with some form of parking fee, however, operating and maintenance costs nay by so high that additional subsidy would be required. Another mechanism for providing and maintalning parking facilities is the formation of an assessment District. An assessment District can be created by the City Council's adoption of a resolution following a public hearing for which all the property owners of record within the proposed District have received notification. if written protests are received from more than 50 percent of the property owners, the Council may not proceed with formation of the District unless four-fifths of the Couutcil concur. An assessment District may issue bonds in order to finance improvements. Other combinations of financing and maintenance strategies could be devised which utilize features of both In-lieu fees and assessment Districts. Through redevelopment in the Down townJSpecific Plan area, tax Incretaent financing Is also available and constitutes another option for funding. 3.33 Public Transportation The existing public, transportation system consists primarily of Orange County Transit District (OCTD) bus service; however, Greyhound, airport and other charter bus companies also operate in the Specific Plan area. The OCTD currently maintains bus lines on a regular basis throughout the Downtown area. OCTD pli .7ners, in conjunction with the City's Development Services and I Public Yorks Departments, determine the need for improvements to the existing bus system. Currently, existing bus routes within the Specific Plan area are sufficient. Expansion of the system would involve more buses or more frequent trips on existing routes, The most likely, change to the system in the near term will be a seasonal increase in the number of buses running on the beach-oriented routes. -3 a- (t30ti2ri) As pr6jects are filed improvements to the existing transporation system can more acurately be determined. These improvements can then be recommended to OCTD planners for their review. Any proposed modification to the system must be approved by OCTD prior to being attached as a condition for project approval. At the present time bus routes enter the Downtown area `'a Atlanta Avenue, Lake Street, Main Street and Orange Avenue, and move through the area on either Olive or Walnut Avenur,. Additional bus service which does not actually enter the Downtown area Is provided along Pacific Coast Highway. Future bus traffic should circulate around the Downtown core area using 6th Street, Pacific Coast Highway, Lake Street and Orange Avenue, except those now traveling only along Pacific Coast Highway. This will provide service to both the Downtown and the beach areas. if a transit center Is developed at the intersection of Lake Street and Pacific Coast Highway. all Downtown buses would pass the location and transfers would be facilitated. In addition to the buses and the routing system, support facilities are needed to make the transit system efficient and convenient. in late 1979. the City of Huntington Beach, in conjunction with OCTD, conducted a study to anaiy-.e sites for a transit center where people would have centralized access to numerous bus routes and where drivers could rest and buses could be temporarily stored. The report concluded that two such centers should be developed: one at vothard Street near Huntington Center and one at Lake Street near PCH. The latter facility, which Is within the Specific Plan area, would be for the routes serving beach visitors and persons patronizing the Downtown commercial establishments. Special requirements For the center were based on current bus arrivals and departures and on the frequencies projected for 1995. A total of 12 to 14 bus bays would be needed to meet maximum projected summer traffic during the next decade. The center Xouid also include a passenger waiting area with a 5.000 square foot platform, which would be large enough to safely accommodate the large number of riders an a typical summer weekend. Presently, the curb-side parking lane on the south side of PCH. east of Lake ; Street, is used for beach-route bus iayovers. Upon completion of CaiTrans' PCH restriping project, however, this section will become a travel lane; thus, a new location for the layover area will be necessary. A new lay-over facility could be developed immediately adjacent to the existing site and seaward of the existing right-of-way between PCH and the beach parking lot. The new layover area should ca:uEst of an expanded passenger waiting platform. additional accessways to the beach. and a curb cut to provide a turnout for bus parking. The proposed prnject would necessitate the removal of some larndscaping; however, it will not require the loss of any parking spaces. in addition a bus stop/bay should be provided northwestbound at Plain Street. i -32- (0062D) t ' This layover area should be adequate for OCTD's beach-related transit center needs as currently projected to 1995. However, If the Downtown develops into an attractive tourist area with higher density mixed--use development, It s likely that a larger public transit facility would be necessary in the future. The Specific Plan recommends that the option for such a center be preserved now because of its potential importance to the long-term transportation needs of the area. One passible location for the transit center would be the City property south of Orange Street between Sth and Main Streets. I i As previously mentioned, this site is an excellent one for a public parking structure and a transit center could easily be lncotporated 9nto the same building. Another possible location would be somewhere in or near the "super block" (district b). Because the City is considering vacating streets in this area, there is potential for providing public land for such a facility. j Locating the transit center at a Downtown location such as this one would , be advantageous for shoppers and would increase pedestrian activity along Alain Street. Other locations could be possible and any larger-scale parking struct ire built with public assistance should be designed so that a portion could be. converted to such a public transit center in the future. While the existing transportation system is limited to buses, suture transportations systems may include rail or monorail service to the Downtown Spcclfic Plan area. Orange County, along with other regional jurisdictions, is currently studying possible transportation corridors. Mthin the City of Huntington Beach. the existing Southern Pacific Railroad ROW through the industrial corridor along Gothard Boulevard could be utilized for passenger service. The Paclflc Electric Railroad ROW parallel to take Street may also be available for some kind of alternate transit system. The Orange County Transportation Commission is also studying the Beach Boulevard corridor, The use of this artery for modes other than cars or buses could provide the Downtown area with a vital regional link. Such systems must be developed on a regional basis, creating a greater-than-local network. One important consideration in encouraging mass transit is the creation of an activity center which attracts enough people so that a maw transit stop or station is practical. The Orange County Transportation Commission is cwrrently studing, alternative transportation procedures which could be used to improve travel flows in a Beach Boulevard corridor which extends from the ocean on the south to La Habra on the north and lies between Valley View Avenue on the west and Euclid Street on the east. The alternatives bMng studied include Transportation System hianagement (TSM) procedures, some "flyovers" on Beach Boulevard and less capita t-intensive improvements on other arterials, major highway improvements at critical locations, a freeway which would .generally follow Beach Boulevard, bus improvements, high-occupancy vehicle/bus lanes, and light rail transit. Preliminary data :Porn the study, including such factors as cost and affected residential/commercial structures and properties, are now being analyzed In an effort to daet"Mine which alternatives should be given further detailed study and evaluation. -33- (0062D) 3.3.4 Bike Trails Bicycle transportation Is growing Into a very popular and importatat memo of travel. Several bike trails exist within the Downtown Specific Plan, the foremost being the coast line trail. This recently completed bikeway befins at the north end of Balsa Chica State Beach and travels south through the City Beach and Huntington State Beach to the mouth of the Santa Ana C.Iver where it connects to other coastal and inland trails. The trail is completely separated from PCH, (class 1), eliminating the hazards created by bikes and automobiles sharing the same right•-of-way. The proximity of the Coast trail to the ocean makes It a very pleasant ride, afroeding beautiful 'dews of the coastline along Its entire length. Within the Specific Plan area, the coast trail !s connected to two Inland bike tails, which extend along Seventeenth Street and Lake Street. These trails consist of striped bicycle lanes incor;vrated into the existing s ircet right-of-way (Class 2). Major improvements to the existing bikeway system In the Specific Plan j area have been proposed In the City's master plan for bikeways, Inclueing new routes along Atlanta Avenue and Golder+west Streit. PrL%irities for bikeways are established by the City amp m tmproven-vs and a.-tdi,',-ns to the bikeway system are budgeted annually. Another important project Is the construction of a bicycle path crossing 1� under the Santa Ana River Bridge at PCH. Although nat within the Speclflr. Plan boundary, this crossing will provide a crucial link between the Santa Ana River Trail and Huntington Beach bike trails. Currently, the only means for bicyclists to cross PCH is with the traffic signal at Srookhtirst Street. The undercrossing will provide a much safer ardl more direct connection, making a more effective bicycle transportation system for inland cyclists to reach the beach. A new trail should oe developed along with the Walnut Avenut extension, connecting, Downtown to the commt'erclai/recreatIon area near Beach Boulevard. The old Pacific Electric right-af-way should also be developed as a new trail linking the Inland residential area with the beach. The funding for most bike trail Improvements comes from S9 $21 monies. which are distributed through the ®range County Tramlaortntion Commission to local governments. Projects are budgeted on an annual basis. The costs of projects vary considerably depending on their nature. Completion of all the improvements are expected In a timely !Wanner consistent with the City's overall master plan. 3:i.S Pedestrian Circulation In the Downtown area, walking should be an important mode of transportation. Many people will park their cars a great distance from :1te beach, pier, restaurants and rctail stores they are patronizing. hfixed--usc zoning will encourage the development of places where people can live, work, shop and be entertained in ore area. Fcr this reason, the pedestrian circulation system warrants special attention. . i -34- (0062D) A system of pedestrian pathways In the Downtown area would serve several purposes simultaneously. First, It could be par: of a public recreation system. People like to walk and enjoy the sights along the bluffs, the beach. and the pier, or watch the activity in lively commercial areas. Tho pedest.ian circulation system also serves as a practical transportation mode, whIM will be increasingly important to future commercial Districts, with centr.lized parking areas and nearby residential, commrirclal and office developments. The pedestrian transportation system will tk; especially vital In linking the beaches, blufftop landscaped area. and the pier to inland visitor-*oritented commercial Districts. In all rases, the pedestrian system must he safe, pleasant, and convenient. One of the most important pedestrian routes Is the lateral access along the shore. In the Downtown Specific Plan area, the entire shoreline is open to the public; with the exception of one residential complex northwest of the pier, there are no private developments between PCH and the ocean. Conthiboub pedestrian access Is provided along the public beach. There is also a continuous hard surface pedestrian route: or sidewalk along PCH between Beach Boulevard and Goldenwest Street. 'm addition, the coast hike trail prnvides a lateral accessway extending the ent -e length of the Specific Plan area, which Is also designed for handicapped persons using wheelchairs. Special ledestrian features should also be planned for the Main Steect corridor. Main Street should be a lively, active commercial District at the e:reet level. The first floor of developments along Main Street sho-ild Le commercial, with open-air establishments encouraged. Structures should bt built !=ong a continuous retail facade neat the sidewalk. The sidewalk should be wide enough for convenient passage, but relatively intimate so that pedestrians will be near the stores and the retail fronts will demand their attention. Main Street should remain one-way with limited vehicular access and parking. Corner plazas should be required with large consolidations to provide places for people to sit and relax. The plazas could provide an entry way to the Alain Street corridor and commercial District. Sidewalks should be required on ail public right-of-whys, providing a basic and comprehensive pedestrian network. in some Districts, dedication may be required for public parkways and sldewaiks. One of the major challenges !o the pedestrian system is providing safe access across PCH. This connection is especially important for visitor-oriented commercial areas which rely on their proximity to the beach and pier as nn amenity to drams.: customers. Provision of safe and convenient pedestrian crossings through a stales of traffic signals and overpasses should be ►sncotcaged. The median along PCH should be designed and landscaped cowlstent will, the Downtown them.: and should discourage mid-block pedestrian crossings.

Overpasses or underpasses might be especially important in the commercial/recreati^n Districts where hotels are proposed.

Overpasses could he designed -35- (0062D) 1. . for use ;'by the general public, and a direct connection for hotel developments, providing convenient beach access. Overpasses may also provide convenient connection between commercial and public: facilith:s, like a hotel and muscurn. The Importance of tying the Main Street co'rridor"to the Munlripat Pier,4s part of a. unified visitor oriented commercial District suggests; the need for a grade :separated pedestrian crossing at Main Street. Six laan of highway, will sep4irate the pier and the Downtown commercial Disuict, a traffic signal can only periodically provide safe access. if the commercia3 Districts are successful. pedestrian volume will Increase,In this area. This will require the signals near the Downtown to provide Increasingly lrx'ger a,nd taare frequent. traffic stops to facilitate pedestrian movement. disrupti ►.0, automobile now on PCH. Thus, the advantage of an overpass at this location would be to provide for a continuous physical connection, between Main Street and the pier, while not obstructing vehicular traffic. . As an alternative to an overpass, an underpass could be considerled in ccinjunction with seme well-lighted perepheril shops which would reduce the tunnel effect. The major facilities which could require significant public participation ;o develop, are the overpasses. Costs can be reduced by the use of publicly-owned land on both sides of PCH. Fublic funds such as Coastal Conservancy grants can be used to help build these kinds of facllities, and In many Instances . the proposed overpasses can be o.)nstructed with a combination of public and private monies. Funding s+aurces include tar: increment, special assessments on serviced properties, State grants. the municipal general funds, earmarked fees at City and State beaches, development incentives, and contributions by OC s D as part of' a transit center. 3.4 S?Rti�gsls; The,open space ,framework is comprised.of focal points, Districts and entry nodes interconnected by pedestrian and vehicular corridors. Each District and focal'point accommodates a distinct mix of pedestrian/vehicular activities, events and landscape base with a .hierarchy of use and visibility. Physical design elei Tents In each space or corridor,are Intended to enrhance 'the viewer experience to create an Interesting environment. The proposed open spaces'and landscape concepts are a means of coordinating design which is both supportive of and Independent of the architectural forms. The major objective Is to unify open space and physical structures Into a homogeneous "sense of place" or community of distinct Districts with a common theme. The design concept'de' scribe' s an area-wide landscape framework in order to create a positive unified Image thraugh'landscaping: Landscaping.will visually tie together the diverse built environment and Introduct, a softer. , humars element into the harder surrounding architectural elements. It also is Intended to provide diversity, contrast and color in zn ocean-oriented environment. Existing landscaping In the Downtown !s min;mal. Recently the City provided: landscape and streetscape Improvements to Main Street, in order to i de-emphasized its uze for vehicular traffic by making it a one-wsy street.;'to encourage pedestrian traffic. Valle these Improvements have helped stimulate interest along Main Street, major work is still needed to create an atmosphere that links Main Street to the pier and other Downtown areas. A comprehensive landscape and !trhltecturul framework. wilt help accomplish' this'.and visually unify the Sperm ,: Plan area. This framework should be based on fGsai points, Districts and entry nodes (see Figure 3.4). The. lar scaping envis=oned could create a dramatic chanje, in the Dowintown Specific Plan atmosphere, So. would be Ideal to make all Improviniestts`at 'thee same time as part of an Initial thrust. This can be accompi:shed'.1f the City invests the money to fund landscaping up front, the costs of,Improvements could then be passed cm to property ov ners through an assessment Dis►rict, or reimbursed by tax increment financing. Ongoing . maintenance of landscaping must also be . provided., if the Improvements are Installed by the City prior,to develgment taking place, the Cf ty will have to maintain them. This could place a burden on the already hard-pressed maintenance budget. An altei ative would be to form maintenance assessment Districts so that proper es benefitted by the Improvements woul.3 pay for theta upkeep. _LancLocape maintenance by the City also insw,es taut services will be of uniform quality and performed regularly. _37- (00621)) ~M:Y Additional fnr6rmation is needed on which to bate recommendations for installing aiid maintaining' landscape Improvements. 'these will be developed with the Design Guidelines Document. A. Pier/1<3ohrdwalk. - This area, .located at ' the pier and Pacific Coast Highway, ,should emphasize the ocean view-oriented experience. This area should Include fast food sands and_, novelty shops, eating areas, umbrellas and overhead porticos are recommended. Banners, graphics, color scheme, and "pier boardwalk" signago will create a festive atmosphere and further complete the transition from this area to the Main Street plaza. lighting will also be extremely important in promoting a day and night activity area. Other possible uses in this area are a museum and new dining establishments in a multi-level area, and the necessary parking to support these functions, Pedestrian movement, strolling, window shopping and eating should be the primary focus of this area. B. hta;a Skre ` - The Main Street plaza should be a focal point inland from Pacific Coast Highway. Strong landscape elements such as color and texture should be Ineorporatcl into this area. Examples of this would be large paving areas with bolSards, raised planters, eye--catching graphics, and banners. The outdoor aspects emphasised to include street furnishings, dining areas, kiosks, and seating areas. The possible development of a theme structure may also be appropriate. A water feature could also provide a strong link to the ocean. Pedestrian activity Is critical in this area. The area should develop as the destination node on Pacific Coast Highway. C. Town Sauarel5upgr BlQck - The Town Square Is envisioned as a gathering spot; a resting oatsis with neighborhood shopping plaza containing terraced walks, retail stores, and patio dining. It will serve as the terminus of new development and mark, the beginning of the transition to � the established neighborhoods. Beacuse of Its relationship to the Main Street pedestrian area, this plaza should Incorporate kiosks, street furniture, transit shelters and possibly a water feature to emphasize the human scale. Landscaping In this area should consist of grove and specimen vegetation. Equally Important to landscaping and .architecture within the actual Districts Is the treatment of entryways and transitional areas between the Downtown Districts and existing neighborhoods. The main entry ways are seen as the "front doors" to the community. They must provide entry experience and physical definition. They will also define the edge of the City in relationship to adjacent beach communitites. Possible elements which could be incorporated Into these are the Huntington Beach logo, District graphics, and vertical pylons with up-lighting. Landscaping should include the "theme" palms to establish a concept which will be carried out through the corridors and Districts. Other important landscape areas are nodes at crosswalks and main entry portals to the Flan a:e2. The following discussions highlight some recommedend Improvements. -38- (00671)) % !

Extensive use should be made of palm trees and landscaped median. Tree: spacing will also lx, of concern, spacing should be apprroximately.30'-40' on center. Buffering the parking areas along the highway should also be attempted, possibly with a terraced garden walkway to the parking levels. parkway Parkway treatment will help create the City Image. The proposed Walnut Avenue extension rind other arterials in the Downtown area should combine an Intensity of native plants with the "theme" palms in the landscaped areas. These streets should provide ample setbacks for the type of landscaping that promotes color and variety, and helps to soften adjacent developments. Residenti�l Edge Entry - Special entry edges treatment will provide a I - visual transition from existing single family homes to higher density housing. This will help establish an identity and familiarity to streets and new Districts. This can be accomplished through use of structural portals with vines. Lighting can be used In conjunction with these to create ! night-time sculptural qualities. Enriched psivement will help to Promote pedestrian flow and slow vehicular approzch In these areas, which will enhance the pedestrian experience in the area. Cis walk blades - Cross-walk nodes are collector/meeting points. for pedestrian traffic from the beach into neighborhoods or the village center. Primary elements at these points are the street name_ signs, traffic signal and crosswalk indicator. These can be incorporated Into an ! overhead signage area. Trees can be planted In these areas to create a visual axis from the ocean to inland strr:ets. Arts Park•- The establishment of an area devoted to works of art which center on the ocean-oriented theme. Ideally a.culturai activity node with ample green space and a gardenesque ambience could be developed. However, spreading the arts theme throughout the Downtown area by providing piece of sculpture in various public spaces may work equally as { well. i -39- (0062D) 3.5 Public Facilities In addition to the public facilities and utilities generally provided by..a local jurisdiction, other civic amenities .would be desirable to further ®-Mhance the Specific Plan area. These amenities may be provided by the City, other public agencies, or by private parties and could include a wide assortment or specialized uses ranging from parks to a library, post office, theater or museum. Because the interest In or desire for such amenities In an urban setting varies greatly, their. Incorporation into the Specific Plan .is only suggested. The actual facilities would be built If and when government and/or private groups determined that their establishment witha'a a proposed development would be beneficial. The Specific Plan area is in a prime location for pubic facilitles..The area Includes two important parks: Huntington City Beach and Bolsa Chlca State Beach. Both or-these parks not only provide extraordinary recreation and aesthetic amenities to local residents, but also attract large numbers' of visitors from outside the City. This latter quality makes these facilities crucial to the viability of future development such as hotels and visitor-oriented commercial. Huntington Beach Municipal Beach (the City beach) is the most popular beach in Orange County and is often sited as an example of outstanding landscaping and design. The City beach also includes the pier, which ie one of the most significant features in the plan area. Bolsa Chica State Beach, (in the area of the Downtown Specific Pianj has been the site. of oil production facilities for many decades. As a result'or . this, ,the bluff area and beach has historically been underutilized. , and unattractive. The City, with the cooperation of the State. Department of Parks and Recreation, and the oil companies, has completed .a landscape plan for the entire bluff area. This area will be developed to include a bike trail, new accessways from the bluff to the sand, and a phased landscaping plan. In addition to the State ant) City beaches other civic amenities In the Downtown area are the public library at Alain Street and Orange Avenue, and the United States post office at Main Street and Olive Avenue. Additional public facilities may be envisioned and may be appropriate for Inclusion in the Downtown Specific Plan. Many of the amenities suggested can be unilaterislly Instigated by the City, such as a library or nark. Others will require the cooperation of other agencies or groups, whose participation --4o- may;range from mlhor.Involveme t;,to complete.provision. 'The .means for encourasing or.:promoting these':uses, would involve at ieast.;the following: l) an..assessment of the likelihood that a` pariic-tlar facility could be attracted"to the City; Z) a feasibility study.on..whethe;, or not the.use Could be self-supporting or the amount of'. subsidy It wot:.A. require;...3) a cost-benefit analysis of the 'varioua 'alternative amenities which could be attracted and supported In order to choose among.these or determine which . should be pursued; and A) an Investigation of funding sources.The following provide brief discussions of possible public facilities: Library and Post Office - The existing library and post office are both appropriate facilities In a Downtown area. Both provide a necessary service to both businesses and residents, however it is possible that these facilities could be moved to other locations in the Downtown area. One possible location would be in the District 6. - Mutm - A museum might be the type of amenity which would augment the visitor-serving atmosphere of the Main Street-Pier axis. This type of facility could be either publicly or privately financed. The area provides an .appropriate .setting for. several Ocean-related museum themes such as oceangraphy, archaeology, natural history, local history, the oil Industry operations and surfing. The historic aspect of the oil-producing facilities in the region as it relates tv the ocean's edge - an oil-rich environment could be part of the museum theme. As a point of.interest to visitors, the oil Industry could be recognized through strategic location of oil-producing machinery, such as a large rocker arm pump, treated as ervlronmenta: sculpture and public art. An oil Industry museum could be a draw, but In Itself a relatively.Iesser one. A museum could be best located in the pier. area District 10 which could serve as an anchor point for the Main Street-Pier axis. G.ean Life Intgroretive Center - An attraction of this type would be aimed at the regional visitor who may have already seen Marin0and or Sea World. This would be a unique attraction emph,,sizing human exploration, use and relationship to the ocean, and the effect upon Its ecology. W661ng models, full-scale submersible exploration equipment, and other interpretive exhibits on the ocean and man could ' be presented. The off shore oil rigs are a natural tle-in to w=:ot the oil companies are doing to mitigate impacts for example. This j attraction should be closely related to the pier head, the beach and 1 tho ocean to maximize the relationship. This can be a landmark structure with a unique architectural form. AQg;ld= - An amenity similar In nature to a museuns and also appropriate for a beach area would be an aquarium. Like a museum. an aquarium could be either publicly or privately financed. The most likely location for an aquarium would be on or adjacent to the pier. Such a facility could be combined with a research laboratory. A variant of the typical aquarlutu Is an underwater observatory, accessed from the pier, where visitors can look out Land observe -r41- (0063 D) 7 • f 1 1. .4•i, v1 marine life in their natural habitats. To be Interesting, however, such an observatory should be located in a rocky area or adjacent to a manmade, or natural reef which attracts fish and other marine organisms. A marine research laboratory.would be,a valuable asset. and`.could be combined=with.an aquarium. Estabilshing,a research faculty would require soliciting the interest of edsk-tlonai or research institutions. Such a venture probably entails significant ground work and.viould need strong City commitment to Implement. However. the interest and prestige generated by a marine research lab could add significantly to the revitalization efforts of the Downtown. — Sig Hall of Fame — This idea Is related to Huntington Beach's reputation as a top surfing spot and the site of the national surfing championships. This theme plays up the surfing presence as a posititve element and provides customers for beach level retail outlets. A surfing Hall of Fame or other point of Interest could be incorporated into new development at the pier in conjectlon with the restaurants and viewing points for watching the surfing action and competition. j — Theater or_AudMriutn — A community theater or auditorium could be built by the City or a private developer, or by a joint venture of public and private groups. A theater could be located In the area Immediately across from the pier area as part of a large consolidated project. A theater or auditorium would be a :cultural asset to the City and act as a focal point or showcase for many civic purposes such as meetings, lectures, professional or community theate7, or musical groups. A mall or plaza around a theater might also function as an urban open space, aethetically enriching the Downtown. QMX—gplign Center — The largest public ame:ilty which could be provided in the Downtown area would be a convention center. A convention center would probably be a City project and•could• be located on City property. These are the only locations with enough space for parking and the related facilities to support a convention center. 1f a convention center were to be built. hotel and motel accommodations, with their attendant restaurants and shops, would be needed to house and serve convent loneers. Pier — The pier, located at the end of Alain Street, provides the focal point for Downtown Huntington Beach. Originolly•construdted In 1914. portions of the pier are currently in need of major repair. The Specific Plan envisions restoration of the pier In conjuct.ion with expanded visitor serving end recreational uses. With these Improvements complete, the pier would become the herb of a major tourist recreational area and the catalyst for commercial revitalization Downtown. —42— (0062D) r-� ,ry} 3.6 11fras trMUrl 3.6.1 Sewerage System The provision of adequate sewerage facilities in the Specific Plan area is an Important prerequisite to development. A sewerage system in an urban atea like'Huntington Beach is composed of shared, public pipelines and related facilities which. collect and transport waterborne wastes away from Individual homes and other establishments, treat this waste, and dispose of It in a manner that is not detrimental to the public health or to the environment. Collection and treatment of sewage in Huntington Beach is accomplished by a combination .of City and„County facilities which include pipes, pump stations and a treatment plant. Small sewer pipes collect wastewater froin Individual buildings and oil facilities. .:The sewage is then '.transported through a series of consecutively larger pipelines to a treatment plant where It is treated and discharged into the ocean. The larger pipelines into which sewage from the many smaller sewers flows, are called "trunk sewers" or "trunk lines." An adopted sewerage plan for the Orange County Sanitation District No. i 1 proposes extending a large collector or trunk sewer, the Coast .Trunk sewer within the Specific Plan area from Lake to Goldenwest Street. The extension of the Coast Trunk sewer to Goldenwest Street will alleviyte j problems which exist In portions of the older Ocean Avenue Trunk sewer. The new trunk lire Is located beneath Walnut Avenue through the Downtown. The remainder of the sewerage system In the Specific Plan area 1s co`med of two other County system trunk sewers which are located bepeatli Lake Street and Atlanta Avenue and numerous City sewers, which rice smaller than these trunk lines and which are buried In the alleys thsvughout th® Specific Plan area. In 1979, the City retained the engineering firm of Lowry and Associates to identify those sections within the sewerage system which would be potentially overloaded at ultimate development of the 'General Plan. The capacity of the sewers in the Downtown and Townlot areas were not Identified as deficient In phis Study." Another analysis of the sewers In thy Downtown was made by the City in the spring of 190 through,the use of a specially equipped camera which photographs the insides of sewer pipes. No major obstructions or Immediate problems were identified by this method. "The General Plan has been amended since this study was conducted. which resulted in a reduction in the amount of area designated Mixed Development Commerical. -43- (006213) 1 QJ Nonetheless, .these%1facllltles rare ,appe�ximately `70 years old. The Clty°s Department of.Public Works:has;indlcated,that, bs cause of their'aje, there may"be_probletim�',wtth,connecting:these lines to"the near Coast Trunk, and portions of the lines may need tdtac'reconstiucted'at the time.of connection. County Saiiltati6 Districts are financed Individually throb taxation of,the properties:In each District and: through sewer connection fees ,for new development. There, is currently a lack of funds in County,`Sariitation District No. .i 1 to complete all the projects shown on the District's Master Plan; therefore.'an annual priority for projects must be established. The inab71';ty of District No. 1 t to make all the necessary improvements could cause problems In local sewers and may constrain development In certain areas of the City unless other funding sources are identified. County Sanitation District No. l l is studying the need to establish Increased fees in order to fund the needed improvements. No additional major improvements, after the Coast Trunk Is completed, are forecast by District No. 11 as necessary In the near term for the Downtown area. The sewer connection fee is the primary source of funding for proposed City sewerage projects. The Public Work- Department, as a condition to approving an application for sewer connectlems, Is authorized to collect a fee for the purpose of reimbursing the City for the cost of upgrading the sewer system and of future replacements and extensions to this system. This fee is placed into the City's sewer fund. The City's sewer fund balance Is expected to be adequate to :,nd the majority of Improvements needed to correct existing and potential capacity deficiencies and to provide adequate service to new development at ultimate buildout. Replacement of sewers in the Downtown was not Included In this, estimate. HowevEr, if replacement becomes necessary because of difficulties in connecting the older sires to the new trunk sewer, the City's Deppartment of Public Works estimates that this could cost approximately S4 million for the entire Townlot/Downtown area. 3.6.2 Drainage The purpose of the City's drainage system Is to convey water away from property and streets. The existing drainage system is Incorporated Into the City's overall flood control system which is designed to prevent flooding during heavy storms. Rainfall constitutes the most Important source of water runoff; however, activities such as watering lawns and washing cars also generate waste water which must be removed and disposed of. The existing drainage system In the Specific Plan area is a small'portion of a much larger network which Includes regional flood control channels maintained by the County and tributary drainage facilities which are the responsibility or the City. Generally speaking, local storm drains and channels now into County channels; however, in the Specific Plan area, drain pipes pass underneath PCM and empty directly onto the beach. No County flood control channels are located within the Specific Plan area. —44— (0062D) .r In 1979, L.D. K ik` nd 'Assocfztr s prepzred`ia'Milker Plan,oY Drab ake ror the,=City. . .,The Plan Identified serious deficiencies in Ache Downtown and ,Uwilot areas which ,include *1Ions' of.'J6tir__ or the City's 34 dralnage Districts..'These deficiencies are not primarily in the Specific Plan area, but reflect a more widespread problem In the Townlot area. Implementation of these improvements would alleviate existing &ainage problems In the Townlot area. The recommended Improvements by District are outlined below: Drainage Distract•8H - Extend,the existing d.-ains in Goldenwest (42 inches in diameter), Sixteenth (? inches) and Twentieth (42 inches) Streets to Orange Avenue. Construct a new drain in Eighteenth j Street between Orange and PCH. District 8D - Construct a drain in Thirteenth Street from Orange to the ocean (96 inches). (completed) -- District 8A -- Construct a drain on Sixth Street (42 Inches). �- District 8B - No improvements are recommended. Drainage projects are funded. primarily through drainage. fees. . The'.City collects drainage fees• from property owners prior to Issuing a ,building, permit or recording a subdivision map'in any drainage District and depoGits this fee into a planned local drainage,fund",for the purpose of.drefraying the costs of constructing master-planned facilities in that District. It is important that the drainage fees accurately reflect current drainage"neecis and costs. Each of the City°s 34, drainage Districts represent local runoff areas Filth different drainage characteristics and needs. The amount, of the drainage fee Is based on the estimated costs of master-planned facilities and varies for each drainage Distract. According to the State lays (Government Code Section 66483), fees collected from development activities In any one District can ,only be used to construct facilities in that District., In some instances, other, sourct:s besides fees, such as Housing and Community Development grant funds or tax-increment from a redevelopknent project, could be available for drainage improvements. The cost of all Irnprovetiaents In Districts 8H, 8D and 8A was estimated at $5.7 million in 1979, and these would be constructed with District drainage fees and other sources fit accordance with a priority 'established by the City's. Mast-i r Plan of Jrainage. These Districts include significant areas outside the Dowrttown, and the current cost of Improvements solely for,the Specific Plan area has not been computed because it is unlikely that they would be constructed separately; each drain In its entirety would be built as a solution to probiems of the larger drainage network. 3.6.3 Water An adequate water supply is necessary to serve new development within the Specific plan area. ,,The water system must serve the dem;tnds of residents, commercial establishments, recreational and landscape uses and fire fighting activities, as necessary, JJ -43- (0062D) I 'The'City.owns the'' ent 4ater systearJ and,aperates I,t througtt',the Water Division 'ofrthe Public.Works'Depirtm ihi; Ctsatomers are charged for ater use at cafe:ap;�roved by the,City Coitiictl;" arid:set at a level necessary to eerier operating 4ionses and capltal„lr iproveme its.

In the Specific Plan area, the existing system consists of riater mains (12-inches In diameter) which are located in the following streets: Golden,,e4t, Seventeenth, Main, Lake, Beach, Atlanta, Palm and'_Orange. . These mains carry the water from reservoirs to the Downtown and Towniot, where distribution lines branch off to supply water to Individual users. In the Downtown and Townlot areas, these branch lines are currently located beneath the alleys. Generally speaking, the large water mains lcc led throughout: ihe'.City are adequate; however, In the Downtown area the pipes are old, undersized and in a deeerlorating condition. Many of the mains will have to be upgraded or replaced to meet the demands of future development. r The, Public Works Department has compiled a list of water projects for implementation over a five-year period. Inc1=aded in this list As the replacement of old cyst iron pipes In the Downtown. Ultimate Implementation of these projects is based on a number of considerations. Among them,, high priority is given to projects that provide new water ' supply (i.e., wells) or improve fire flow deficiencies, and lower priority is given to Improvements sue:: as those Downtown, which may be needed only at ultimate build-out. i Improvements to the City's water system are primarily.,funded out ,.ot revenues generated by the sale of water to City resl4ents. A smeller amount of money Is also collected from water connection fees charged, to new development based on acreage and/or num or of units. These revenuel are expected to be adequate to cover the nerds for Downtown Improvsmelits.

THE PUBLIC HEAR I ZIG WAS OPENED Barbara Milkovich, member of the Historic Resources Board, spoke in support of a cultural center in either District 5 or 6. She stated that she would like to see a museum ( i .e. a working oil well, sugar tetit, first boat used by lifeguards, surfing history, etc. ) located in one of these districts . She also voiced concern regarding the historic structures in the downtown area and said that she would like to see restored property styled architecturally to reflect the history of Huntington Beach. Guy Guzzardo, 515 Walnut Avenue, member of the Historic Resources Board, stated that there is an urgent n9ed not recognized in the Downtown Specific Plan and that being the preservation of historic structures . He would like to See the Downtown Specific. Plan xnvisnd to include a requirement for Historic Board review before demolishing any historical sites. He was asked by one of the Commissioners how many significant historical sites there were on Main Street . tie stated that there were perhaps 10 to 15 sites. Doug Langevin, 8196 "Pawtucket Drive, addressed his concerns with the closing of Fifth Street. Pe said that the closure would create a negative impact on residential areas (.i.e. re-.routing buses, traffic, etc. ) .

He also stated a (0264d) PC Minute$ ». 3/15/88 -4- s ;uRA-11� concern 'with the requirements imposed by the Cih- to downtown property owners that wished to upgrade their buildings. He said that the requirements cos} the property owners -Are than their properties were worth and felt that this was unfair. Loretta Wolfe, 411 6th . Street, stated her objections to the closing of, Fifth Street. She sa"o that major bus routes would then be diverted to her neighborhood causing more traffic and creating a parking and safety hazard. She also stated that because of the closure she feels that the City' s historical sites will be jeapordized.. Richard Harlow, 111 10th.

Bob Mandic, 1112 Main Street, expressed his opposition to the closing of Lake Street and stated that he felt that street closures i should not be permitted, especially on Fifth or Sixth Street. He said that the circulation system is supposed to be a loop and that Sixth Street is presently too narrow. He further stated that the I Downtown Specific Plan was originally based on premises that no longer exist and feels that if commercial development is reduced in the downtown area that residential should also be reduced. He suggested that a long-term financial study be initiated. James Smith, 201 12th.

The Planning Commission requested that members of the City Council be present so they could be involved with the discussion regarding the proposed revisions to the Downtown Specific Plan. On March 8, 1988 , staff received direction from Both the City Council and the planning Commission regarding the proposed revisions to the Downtown Specific Plan. The following is a summary of the direction given to staff : (a) Allow residential south of Main Street in District 3 . (b) Delete requirement that residential must be physically integrated with visitor-serving commercial structures in District 3 . (c) Ch3nge District 4 from Mixed Use (Office/Residential/ Commercial) to 100 percent Residential, (d) Prohibit residential fronting Main Street in District S. At2bk A•V W43C (e) Delete the commercial anchor concept in District 6 . M Emphasize cultural/social node in District 5 or District 6 depending on scale. In addition to the direction given at the March 8, 1988 special study session, staff has addressed concerns that have been identified at the prior Planning Commission meetings and study sessions (February 17, 1988 planning Commission meeting , February 23 , 1988 Special Study Session and March 1, 1988 Planning Corralission meeting) . lj ENV I RMENTAL-3-T&2U: Code Ainendaient No. 88-3 is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 19300.4 from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, 1986. In addition, Section 1.2, 5RP_Q .g,ig Plan Pr r p%, in the Downtown Specific Plan requires that any amendment constitutes a project under the California Environmental Quality Act and the State' s Environmental Impact Report guidelines . The proposed revisions have been evaluated by an initial study which has been included as an attachment to this report. The proposed zoning code modifications constitute a lessening of intensity to the Downtown Specific Plan, thus modifications are covered by the Downtown Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report No . 82-2 which was certified by the City Council on July 18, 1983 (see attached Initial Study) . a ,0 C9AMUA-STATU The Downtown Specific Plan is the implementing ordinance of the � Coastal Elerront and the proposed revisions are consistent with the Local Coastal Program contained in the Coastal Element which was certified by the Coastal Commission in Harch 1985. Pursuant to Section 989.5. 0 of. the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, a Coastal Development Permit is not necessary with this application. Coastal Commission certification of the proposed revisions is required after Council adoption. The Coastal Element identifies coastal policies regarding visitor-serving commercial and residential opportunities. The proposed revisions will a) :ow greater residential development opportunities in selected areas within they Downtown Core Area while still, retaining ample visitor-serving commercial opportunities . The Coastal Act also requires the provision of low and moderate income housing opportunities within the Coastal Zone. By increasing affordable- housing opportunities, the proposed revisions in the Downtown Specific Plan are consistent with the Coastal Act. -2- (0�2Qxd) Staff..Report 3�15/!i8 �, S J r Y The Downtown Specific Plan contains the zoning and development standards for the Main-Pier Redevelopment Project Area which was adopted by the City Council in 1982. The goals of the Main-Pier Redevelopment Project Area are to provide affordable housing opportunities, to preserve historically significant buildings while eliminating blighting influences, the elimination of seismic de!iciencies, and to improve and expand visitor-serving cocranercial fdcilities. 6 .0 SPECIUC : The proposed revisions are contained within the established boundaries and districts of the Downtown Specific Plan. Section 3 . 0 of the Downtown Specific Plan provides the language which describes the specific plan. concept:. According to Section 3 .0 , the design concept emphasizes the ocean, ocean activities, the City Pier as the primary focus of the Downtown Area . Within the design concept, encouraging inland pedestbian movement along Main Street will provide support for proposed commercial uses along the Main Street Corridor. Encouraging inland movement can be accomplished by providing a cultural/social node near the intersection and/or a parking structure near the intersection of Main Street and Orange Avenue . 7• Q�tJBI2JV SLQV COK�JL EF: Not applicable. L 0 SUES AND_M&LYSIS: Staff is proposing revisions in the Downtown Specific Plan in order to clarify and update language and also to expand residential uses in the Downtown Core Area. The basis for the revisions stems from direction on specific projects by the City Council and discussions with prospective builders regarding the realistic market demand. Also, staff recognizes input from the general putlic regarding shifting the emphasis from a strong commercial core; area to a seaside village concept. I The intensities of the Downtown Core Area are intended to be � compatible with the adjacent residential neighborhoods as well as providing an adequate econonsir base for the City. The proposed revisions are consistent with the original design concept for the Downtown Area. A change in District 4 from Mined-Use to loo Percent Residential will protect the adjacent, established neighborhoods from commercial impacts . Staff feels this will provide better land use compatibility. By prohibiting residential along Main Street in District a, a commercial sector will link the gain/Fier area with the northern boundary of District 5. This represents a shift of the northez.n Staff Report 3113/88 ®3_ .(0202d) terminus of the Kain Street Corridor from District 6 to District 5. Shis shift will allow the reduction of commercial floor area but still provide opportunities for neighborhood goods and services for a household popula::ion. in District 3, by deleting the requirement that residential floor area must be physically integrated into visitor-serving/mi$ed-use commercial projects, staff envisions greater opportunities for increasing a perennial population and flexibility in development design.. Permitting residential south of Main Street represents les^.ening the perceived intensity of the existing provisions contained in the Downtown Specific Plan. The revision to allow greater resident_.=1 opportunities in District 3 is based on the idea that more residential floor area is needed fur year-around sugport for proposed conanercial floor area . iStaff has proposed revisions which include: (1) Clarification of terminology and language; (2) Imposing setbacks; I (3) Planning Commission approval of all new construction; I (4) Charging District 4 from Mixed-Use to 100 Percent Residential; I (5) Prohibiting residential along Main Street in District 5; (6) Allowing residential south of Main Street in district 3. Although the revisions will create a more precise document and will decrease the amount of potential commercial Cloor area in District 4 , only two revisions are necessary to allow forward progress of the proposed Redevelopment Project (Phase I) at the northeast cocner of Main Street and Pacific Coast Highway. Allowing residential south of Main Street and deleting the requirement that residential must be physically integrated with a visitor-serving corcrrnercial structure in District 3 are required for Phase I to conform to the Dawntown Specific Plan. 'These revisions are consistent with the Coastal Element and will be considered by the Coastal Commission to be a minor change. If necessary, the balance of the revisions can be postponed to a later date as part of a larger overall code amendment . j 9. Q ,$,F OMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Code Amendment No. 88-3 and recommend adoption by the City Council. FIN12118CS FOR APPROMAL: 1.

Districts of the Downtown Specific Plan are in the downtown area generally located along Pacific Coast Highway between Goldenwest Street and Beach Boulevard. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: Code Amendment No. 88-3 is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 19300.4 from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, 1986. PC Minutes - 3/15/88 -3- (0264d) COASTAL STATUS: The Downtown Specific Plan is the implementing ordinance of the Coastal Element and the proposed revisions are consistent with the Local Coastal Program contained in the Coastal Element which was certified by the Coastal Commission in March 1985. HSOM ELOMST STATUS: The Downtown Specific Plan contains the zoning and development standards for the Main-Pier Redevelopment Project Area which was adopted by the City Council in 1982. The goals of the Main-Pier Redevelopment Project Area are to provide affordable housing opportunities, to preserve historically significant buildings while eliminating blighting influences, the elimination of seismic deficiencies, and to improve and expand visitor-serving commercial facilities. STAFF_RECONA�1dDATION: Approve Code Amendment No. 88-3 with findings and recommend adoption by the City Council. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Barbara Milkovich, member of the Historic Resources Board, spoke in support of a cultural center in either District 5 or 6. She stated that she would like to see a museum (i.e. a working oil well, sugar beet, first boat used .by lifeguards, surfing -history, etc.) located in one of these districts. She also voiced concern regarding the historic structures in the downtown area and said that she would like to see restored property styled architecturally to reflect the history of Huntington Beach. Guy Guzzardo, 515 Walnut Avenue, member of the Historic Resources Board, stated that there is an urgent need not recognized in the Downtown Specific Plan and that being the preservation of historic structures. He would like to see the Downtown Specific Plan revised to include a requirement for Historic Board review before demolishing any historical sites. He was asked by one of the Commissioners how many significant historical sites there were on Main Street. He stated that there were perhaps 10 to 15 sites. Doug Langevin, 8196 Pawtucket Drive, addressed his concerns with the closing of Fifth Street. He said that the closure would create a negative impact on residential areas (i.e. re-routing buses, traffic, .etc.) . He expressed concern with the elimination of residential on the second story levels in the commercial areas. He said that there was a study done recently that concluded that second story office/commercial was not successful. He also stated a PC Minutes - 3/15/88 -4- (0264d) concern with the requirements imposed by the City to downtown property owners that wished to upgrade their buildings. He said that the requirements cost the property owners more than their properties were worth and felt that this was unfair. Loretta Wolfe, 411 6th. Street, stated her objections to the closing of Fifth Street. She said that major bus routes would then be diverted to her neighborhood causing more traffic and creating a parking and safety hazard. She also stated that because of the closure she feels that the City's historical sites will be jeapordized. Richard Harlow, 111 loth. Street, stated that the proposed code amendment is responsive to the community and market feasibility. He feels that mixed use in District 5 will strengthen the commercial on Main Street. He also stated that he feels the requirement for all on-site parking will eliminate possible shopping at more than one establishment and would like to see the requirement eliminated. Bob Mandic, 1112 Main Street, expressed his opposition to the closing of Lake Street and stated that street closures should not be permitted, especially on Fifth or Sixth Street. He said the circulation system is supposed to be a loop and that Sixth Street is presently too narrow. He further stated the Downtown Specific Plan was originally based on premises that no longer exist and feels if commercial development is reduced in the downtown area, residential should also be reduced. He suggested a long-term financial study be initiated. James Smith, 201 12th. Street, stated he is opposed to green belts being given away on Pacific Coast Highway and to on-site parking being locked up. There were no other persons present to speak for or against the code amendment and the public hearing was closed. Straw votes were taken on proposed revisions in each district of the Specific Plan. They are as follows: PROPOSED REVISIONS TO SPECIFIC PLAN DESIGN CONCEPT - (SECTION 3.0) (a) Change District 4 from Mixed Use (Office/Residential/ - Commercial) to 100 percent Residential. (b) Delete the commercial anchor concept in District 6. - (c) Emphasize cultural/social node in District 5 or District 6 depending on scale.

When the Q-Rl-(2.7)-0-8,000 zoning was placed on the property in 1981 prior to subdividing, one- of the conditions of the pQp was that any future project approved for this -parcel of land make provisions for equestrian uses within the development. With the subsequent approval of Tentative Tract 11473 and Conditional Use Permit No. 82-3 (Country View Estates) in 1982, an approximately one-acre lot was set aside for common equestrian stables as well as a common equestrian trail. Conditional Use Permit No. 82-3 also specified a minimum rear yard setback of 25 feet for homes within the development, in accordance with the Estate Residential theme. Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 88-6 is a request to reduce the rear yard- setback to 10 feet. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: The proposed project is exempt Class 1 Section 15301 and Class 5. Section 15305 from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act. PC Minutes - 3/15/88 -12- (0264d) SPECIFIC PLAN The site is located within the proposed Ellis-Goldenwest Specific Plan Area. The draft plan was prepared by staff in 1982, but has not been adopted by the City Council. STAFF RECOM HDATIONs Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 88-9 and Conditional Exception (variance) No. 88-6 with findings and conditions of approval. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Gene Hill, applicant, spoke in support of the request. He stated that the CC&R°s for his development do not mention equestrian facilities nor does the California Department of Real Estate White Report. Jeff Smith, Co-owner of Dahl Development Company, stated that 200 horses were displaced at the time of development of the tract and it was then the Dahl Company acquired additional facilities. He further stated his company would be willing to provide for the boarding of horses in a common stable facility within the vicinity and would post a bond with the applicant to satisfy the requirement. Debbie Cook, 6692 Shetland Circle, spoke in support of the request. She stated she would like to see this development completed and her neighborhood rid of construction vehicles. She further stated that only one resident in the neighborhood has a horse stabled at the Dahl property and she, as a non-horse owner and homeowner, does not want the responsibility of the upkeep of a horse facility. Phillip Gatton, 6691 Shetland Circle, stated he was opposed to upkeeping a stable set aside for the community when the community wasn't interested in using it. He said that he would rather see a home developed on the set-aside property. Bart Kubecka, 6741 Shire Circle, stated he is the owner of a large horse lot and eventually plans to keep a horse on the property. He spoke in support of the request and stated that he does not feel that the Homeowners Association should be responsible for the upkeep of the community stable. Carrie Thomas, 6642 Trotter Drive, spoke in support of the request. She stated that she owns a large lot in the development however is forbidden to keep a horse because of the CC&RS. She would hate to lose the horse-provided facility. Bob Mandic, 1112 plain Street, spoke in support of the request. He stated that the set-aside lot was a great idea when the development first started however it is not presently. He feels Condition 9 presents a hardship to the applicant and the developer and that 14 horses is not a realistic number. There were no other persons present to speak for or against the request and the public hearing was closed. PC Minutes - 3/15/88 -13- (0264d) A discussion followed regarding the boarding of horses in a common stable. It was felt that a community facility should be provided and that a bond should be posted for a period of 10 years by the developer and applicant to satisfy the requirement. The amount of the bond was discussed. The Commission felt that the bond ($56,000) should be posted prior to issuance of any building permits. The Commission requested that staff pursue the completion of the Ellis-Goldenwest Specific Plan. A MOTION WAS MADE BY LEIPZIG, SECOND BY BOURGUIGNON, TO APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 88-9 IN CONJUNCTION WITH CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 88-6, WITH FINDINGS AND ADDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING NOTE: AYES: Pierce, Livengood, Silva, Leipzig, Ortega, Higgins, Bourguignon NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None W2ION PASSED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO, 88-9: 1. Amending the original master site plan of development- to permit the construction of a single family home on Lot #1 of Tract 11473 will not be detrimental to the- general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or to property and improvements in the vicinity because it will be compatible with surrounding uses and will not prohibit stabling of horses on the adjacent northeasterly lot. 2. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 88-9 will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach because the allowable density of 2.7 units per acre will not be exceeded. 3. The subdivider has provided for a total of 83 horse paddocks and stalls at nearby equestrian facilities, which will meet the requirements for common off-site equestrian facilities for this tract, as well as other tracts in the vicinity. 4 . The provision of public equestrian trails within- the tract as well as the four large residential-equestrian lots satisfy the intent of the "Q" zoning in providing for equestrian uses within the development. •5. The location, site layout, and design of the proposed single family home properly adapts the proposed structures to streets, driveways and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner. PC Minutes - 3115/88 -14- (0264d) FIGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION: 1. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, and location of a 100 foot wide open space easement, the strict application of the setback requirements of Conditional Use Permit No. 82-3 is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classifications. 2. The granting of a conditional exception (variance) is necessary in order to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. 3. The granting of Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 88-6 will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare, or injurious to property to the south, in that the second story contains high clerestory windows, which will protect the privacy of future residents to the south.

Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 88-8 is a request to retain existing chain link fencing which encloses the play area and is attached to existing buildings. This request would be a variance from the six foot high masonry wall required in Section 9635.1 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: The proposed project is exempt, Section 15301, Class 1, from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act. PC Minutes - 3/15/88 -16- (0264d) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 88-5 and Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 88-8 with findings and conditions of approval. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Byron G. Conway, President of Great American Learning Centers, spoke in support of the request. He stated that there is an extreme need for day care. He addressed the issue of the block wall and stated that the play yard at the day care is L-shaped and surrounded on three sides by buildings and that a block wall would cause intense heat. -He also requested that the hours of operation be changed to 6:00 AM to allow for the dropping off of children. Myra Humphrey, 16201 Lassau Lane, homeowner adjacent to the playground.

A MOTION WAS MADE BY LIVENGOOD, SECOND BY SILVA, TO APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 88-5 AND CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 88-8, WITH FINDINGS AND REVISED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Pierce, Livengood, Silva, Leipzig, Ortega, Higgins, Bourguignon NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None PWIOP PASSED FINDING$ FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL, USE T NO, 88-5: 1. The proposed day care expansion of the facility from 24 to 42 children will not have a detrimental effect upon the general health, welfare, safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood and is not detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. 2.- Access to and parking for the day care operation for 42 children will not cause undue traffic problems. 3. The proposed expanded day care facility for 42 children is compatible with the intended use of the property for school purposes. PC Minutes - 3/15188 -17- (0264d) 4. The proposed expanded day care facility for 42 children is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan, because the property was originally developed as �a school site, and will substantially comply with the provisions of Article 963 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION (VARIANCE) NO. 8-$: 1. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape and surroundings, the strict application of the Zoning Ordinance is found -to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone. classifications. The "L-shaped" play area is predominately enclosed by 225 linear feet of buildings with 5 foot high chain link fence covering approximately 90 linear feet. Replacing the chain link with 6 foot block wall would create an unattractive area that would also inhibit air circulation through that area. In addition to the entire school site being enclosed by a 6 foot high chain link fence, each of the preschool facilities have chain link enclosing their respective play areas. Requiring the applicant to enclose his facility with block wall would be in congruent with the adjacent facilities. 2. The granting of the conditional exception (variance) is necessary in order to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights-. The continued use of the existing chain link fence is consistent with the other school facilities at Meadowview and maintains the type of use and physical configuration and scale of the school site. 3. The granting of Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 88-8 will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare, or injurious to property- in the same zone classification. Currently, a code amendment is being prepared that will address the issue of masonry walls surrounding day care facility play areas which will allow flexibility of requirements in relation to neighborhood compatibility and safety issues: 4.
