Sincerely yours, Connie Brockway, CIVIC City Clerk CB:cc Enclosure: Statement of Findings and Conditions Cc: Hearthside Homes, Inc., c/o Ed Mountford Bolsa Chica Land Trust, c/o Paul Horgan City Administrator City Attorney Planning Director Wayne Carvalho, Associate Planner L1 II FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 15734/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 98-49/ COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 98-17/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 98-11 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 98-11: 1. Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 has been prepared in compliance with Article 6 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. It was advertised and available for a public comment period of twenty (20) days. Comments received during the continent period were responded to, and the comments and responses were considered by the Planning Commission prior to action on Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11, Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 and Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17. 2. The only potentially significant impact identified in the Initial Study prepared for the TTM/CUP/CDP related to views from existing residences resulting from cut and fill necessary to provide for adequate drainage. A mitigation measure addressing this potential impact, attached hereto and shall become part of the project conditions of approval, (unless superceded by more restrictive TTM/CUP/CDP conditions), and will avoid or reduce the project's effects to a level of less than significant. 3. In addition to the mitigation measure identified in the Initial Study, the City has identified additional mitigation measures for impacts that were identified as less than significant in the Initial Study, and which will further minimize and reduce these less than significant impacts. These are included in the project conditions of approval and are identified therein as mitigation measures. These mitigation measures will help minimize less than significant impacts to: • grading activities as it relates to hydrology, drainage and runoff, • water quality management planning; • biological and cultural resources; • construction traffic and air quality; • outdoor lighting; • public services and utilities; and • affordable housing requirements. 4. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Planning Commission that the project, as mitigated through the mitigation measures and conditions of approval adopted for Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 and Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17, will have a significant effect on the environment, and compliance with these mitigation measures and conditions shall be monitored and reported on through a mitigation monitoring program adopted by the City. 5. Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 reflects the independent judgement and analysis of the Planning Commission. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 15734: 1. Tentative Tract Map No. 15734 for an approximate five (5) net acre residential subdivision for 16 single family detached residences is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element designation of Low Density Residential on the subject property and the applicable provisions of HBZSO. The proposed single family residential subdivision is a permitted use. 2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The project's density is 3.4 units per net acre (excluding the Bolsa Chica Street extension) which is within the allowable density for Low Density Residential (max. 7 units per net acre). The project site is relatively flat and is compatible with the surrounding low density residential uses. 3. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements will not cause serious health problems or substantial enviromnental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The proposed project was evaluated under Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 which identified all potential environmental impacts. As a result, the project will comply with appropriate mitigation measures. 4. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with public or private easements. The subdivision will provide all necessary easements and will not affect any existing easements. The project is designed to provide future access to the proposed development on the Bolsa Chica mesa through Bolsa Chica Street south of the subdivision. Interior streets are also designed to link to the proposed interior streets in the County area. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 98-49: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the 16 unit single family residential subdivision, which includes building heights of up to 32 feet, 2 inches will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. The project is consistent with the character of the low density residential uses in the area. The increased roof peak heights will provide for enhanced architectural design while complying with the maximum building height of 35 feet. 2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding residential uses as well as the proposed residential uses. The proposed grading, site layout and design of the 16 unit single family residential subdivision properly adapts the proposed structures to streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner. Furthennore, the project is designed to either remain as a 16 unit project or incorporate into a future master plan community located within the County of Orange's jurisdiction. 3. The proposed 16 unit single family residential subdivision will comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located. The proposed residential subdivision complies will all code provisions, including lot size, setbacks, density, landscaping and parking. The increased building heights are permitted subject to approval of a conditional use permit. No variances are proposed as part of this request. 4. The granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Low Density Residential on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: a. Provide for the timing of residential, commercial and industrial development coincident with the availability of adequate market demand to ensure economic vitality. (LU 1.1) b. Accommodate the development of single family residential units in areas designated by the Land Use Plan Map, as stipulated by the Land Use and Density Schedule. (LU 9.1.1) c. Require and single family residential units be designed to convey a high level of quality and character considering the following guidelines: 1) Modulate and articulate building elevation, facades, and masses (avoiding undifferentiated "box-like" structures). 2) Encourage innovative and creative design concepts. 3) Locate and design garages so that they do not dominate the street frontage. (LU 9.1.2) d. .Require that the design of new subdivisions consider the following: 1) Establish a continuous network of sidewalks, bicycle and pedestrian paths, and other elements that link all community areas and provide linkages to land uses in adjacent areas. 2) Site and design of units and incorporate elements, such as porches, that emphasize front yards as an activity area and "outdoor living room," by locating garages in the rear or side yards. (LU 9.3.2) e. Require that new development be designed to consider coastal views in its massing, height, and site orientation. (UD 2.1.1) f. Require that future development be designed and sited to maintain the natural topographic characteristics of the City including the minimization of the area and height of cuts and fills. (ERC 4.1.6) The building architecture and floor plan layout of the proposed homes offer a unique and creative design alternative consistent with the goals and policies noted above. The homes are designed with porches and outdoor living areas, and garages to the rear or separated by living area so not to dominate the street frontage. In addition, the subdivision layout is designed to provide for the necessary easements and improvements without impacting adjacent uses. The subdivision is designed to link with streets, sidewalks, and bicycle/pedestrian paths that are either existing or proposed in the area. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 98-17: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17 for the 16 unit single family residential development as conditioned, conforms with the General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program. The proposed subdivision complies with the Low Density Residential Land Use designation of the General Plan. 2. The project is consistent with the requirements of the CZ Overlay District, the base zoning district, as well as other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. The proposed subdivision will comply with all code provisions including density, building height, open space and parking. 3. At the time of occupancy the proposed development can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Local Coastal Program. Access, utilities, and all other infrastructure will be provided as required by the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program, Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and City standards. 4. The development conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. Proposed subdivisions located 300 feet away from the water are not required to provide vertical or lateral access to coastal resources. Access is to be provided along a proposed collector street located in the County of Orange, extending from Bolsa Chica Street south of the proposed tract. In addition, bike and pedestrian trail easements are proposed along other portions of the future master plan community in the County of Orange.

Analysis: A. PROJECT PROPOSAL: Applicant: Hearthside Homes, c/o Ed Mountford, 6 Executive Park, Irvine, CA 92614 Appellant: Bolsa Chica Land Trust, c/o Paul Horgan, 207 21st Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Location: Southwest corner of Bolsa Chica Street and Los Patos Avenue Date of Complete Application: Mandatory Processing Dates- Mitigated Negative Declaration: January 13, 1999 July 12, 1999 (180 days from complete application) Tentative Tract Map: February 5, 1999 Within 50 days of action on Mitigated Negative Declaration Conditional Use Permit/ Coastal Development Within 3 months of action on Mitigated Permit: February 5, 1999 Negative Declaration The Planning Commission approved the applications at their April 13, 1999 and April 27, 1999 meetings thereby complying with the mandatory processing times. Tentative Tract Map No. 15734 represents a request to subdivide approximately five (5) net acres (6 gross acres) for development of a 16 unit single family residential subdivision pursuant to Section 251.02 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (ZSO). The subdivision includes 16 numbered residential lots and five (5) lettered lots consisting of the private streets within the project, landscape easements and adjacent undeveloped areas abutting the city boundary. The residential lots range in size from 6,000 square feet to 8,974 square feet. The project's density is 3.4 units per net acre (excludes Bolsa Chica Street right of way). The project is entirely within the City's jurisdiction. PL99-35 -3- 06/03/99 8:03 AM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: June 7, 1999 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL 98-35 Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 and Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17 represent a request for the following: A. To construct 16, two-story, detached single family residential units pursuant to Section 210.04 of the ZSO. The homes are designed with wood siding, stucco, stone veneer and accents, and the roofs. The project includes two (2) floor plans as summarized below. NOW Size No. . Bedrooms 1 8 3,419 4 i three car 2 2 8 3,828-7 5 three car 2 TOTAL: =6 B. To allow building heights of up to 32 feet, 2 inches measured from the building pad to roof peak pursuant to Section 210.06 (M) 1.c. of the ZSO. The ZSO allows structures over 30 feet up to 35 feet in height pursuant to a conditional use permit. The increased height allows for a steeper pitched gable roof design and vaulted ceilings. Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 is an environmental assessment of the proposed project and determination that no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposed project that could not be mitigated to a level of insignificance with proper design and engineering (see Environmental Status for further discussion). The proposed project is designed to function properly with or without integration with the future master plan of development located within the County's jurisdiction, which is also owned by the subject property owner (Signal Landmark Co.). Signal Landmark Co. also owns the property to the east which is designated as Open Space-Park (OS-P) in the City's General Plan. Approximately 5,000 cubic yards of soil will be imported and graded onto the site. The additional fill is necessary to properly drain the site toward the northwest (Los Patos Ave.) and southeast (Bolsa Chica St.) limits of the tract The existing site has an approximate 2.5 foot grade differential from the highest point to the lowest point. Property along Los Patos Avenue and the extension of Bolsa Chica Street will be dedicated for public street purposes. All streets will be designed to public street standards (40 ft curb to curb with 6 ft. sidewalks on both sides). However, the streets within the tract will be held under private ownership. A 20 foot wide emergency access easement will be provided to Los Patos Avenue; should the Bolsa Chica Mesa be developed, this easement will be eliminated. No privacy gates are proposed as part of this request. PL99-35 -4- 06/03/99 8:03 AM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: June 7, 1999 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL 98-35 The applicant will be required to provide for two (2) affordable units in conjunction with the 16 unit subdivision. Staff has included a condition of approval (Attachment No. 1) which offers several alternatives to satisfy the affordable housing requirement. The applicant has indicated that the affordable units will be provided off-site, by restricting the two units to low income families (less than 80% of County median) for a period not less than 30 years. The parkland dedication requirement will be satisfied by dedicating a 30 foot wide easement along the north property line of the open space lot located east of the project site. The easement will provide pedestrian and vehicular maintenance access to the proposed public park located approximately 400 feet east of the project site. This easement dedication was recommended by staff and supported by the applicant. B. BACKGROUND The subject site was incorporated into the City of Huntington Beach's jurisdiction in 1971 and zoned Residential Agriculture (RA). A year later, the property was zoned R2-PD-14 (Medium Density Residential - Planned Development) allowing up to 14 units per acre. The R2 base zoning remained on the property until 1984 when it was changed to R1-CZ (Low Density Residential - Coastal Zone). The nomenclature on the zoning changed from R1 to RL when the new Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (ZSO) was adopted in 1994. The General Plan Land Use designation coincided with the zoning from Medium Density Residential in 1976 to Low Density Residential in 1984. The Low Density Residential designation has remained on the property since. The subject site is part of the City's Certified Local Coastal Program (LCP). Over the years, development proposals in the Bolsa Chica have generally referred to the area within the County of Orange's jurisdiction. Recently, the California Court of Appeal rendered a decision pertaining to the County's LCP approved by the California Coastal Commission. The Court of Appeal overturned the trial court's decision with respect to relocating the bird habitat from an environmentally sensitive habitat area (ESHA). The decision to mitigate the removal of the eucalyptus trees designated within the ESHA with new raptor habitat on the Huntington mesa was denied. The decisions made by the Court of Appeal impact the County's LCP. They do not affect the proposed Sandover project located in the City of Huntington Beach. The 16 unit subdivision is designed to comply with the City's certified LCP. Furthermore, the eucalyptus trees located within the Sandover tract boundary are not located within the designated ESHA. PL99-35 -5- 06/03/99 8:03 AM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: June 7, 1999 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL 98-35 C. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 13, 1999 to discuss the proposed subdivision (Attachment No. 8). Sixteen (16) people testified during the public hearing. Four (4) people, including the applicant, spoke in favor of the project. Twelve people, including the appellant, spoke in opposition to the mitigated negative declaration, stating that an environmental impact report (EIR) should be prepared to analyze the potential environmental impacts that could result from the project. The proponents stated that the project would comply with the City's General Plan and development standards, and would provide public benefits, enhance local property values, and generate increased revenue from property taxes. They also indicated that the environmental review conducted by the City addressed all potential environmental impacts, including archeological and biological resources. Several of the project opponents testified that the environmental review conducted in the mitigated negative declaration was inadequate and that an EIR should be prepared. Other issues raised included archeological resources, soil conditions, water supply, biological resources, including eucalyptus trees and wildlife habitat, and the possibility of maintaining the area as natural open space. Following the closing of the public hearing, the Planning Commission discussed the various issues raised by the speakers and approved the mitigated negative declaration (environmental determination) with findings and mitigation measures. However, final action on the project entitlements was continued to the next meeting due to a 3-3 tie vote. On April 27, 1999, following a staff presentation, the Planning Commission approved the project (TTM 15734, CUP 98-49, & CDP 98-17) with findings and conditions of approval (Attachment No. 7). Since the public hearing was closed at the previous meeting, no public testimony was received. D. APPEAL: The Bolsa Chica Land Trust appealed the April 13, 1999 Planning Commission approval of the mitigated negative declaration citing that an environmental impact report (EIR) should be prepared for the proposed project because there is substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect upon the environment (Attachment No. 2). In addition, the appellant states that the project is part of the Bolsa Chica ecosystem and that the site is or may be home to threatened or endangered animal species. The appellant further states that the site is within a portion of archeological site ORA-86, and that there has been insufficient study of the site. PL99-35 -6- 06/03/99 8:03 AM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: June 7, 1999 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL 98-35 The Bolsa Chica Land Trust also appealed the Planning Commission's conditional approval of the project entitlements (TTM 15734, CUP 98-49, & CDP 98-17) following the April 27, 1999 Planning Commission meeting (Attachment No. 2), citing the following reasons.. 1. The development will have a negative impact on the environment and sensitive environmental resources in the Bolsa Chica. 2. The project would eliminate what is believed to be an environmentally sensitive habitat area (ESHA) — the eucalyptus grove; the project is not consistent with the Coastal Act. 3 The project is piecemeal development of the mesa; no approvals exist for the remainder of the Bolsa Chica mesa. It has not been determined what, if any, development will eventually be permitted on the remainder of the mesa. E. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: The proposed single family residential subdivision will be compatible with the surrounding residential uses north of Los Patos Avenue, and with the existing open space land uses south, east, and west of the site. The project will also be compatible with the proposed residential uses on the remainder of the mesa. Access to the subdivision will be provided from a southerly extension of Bolsa Chica Street, south of the Bolsa Chica/Los Patos intersection (Attachment No. 2). All 16 homes will gain access from an interior street with homes designed backing onto Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Street. No direct access to Los Patos Avenue will be provided with the exception of a 20 foot wide secondary emergency access at the west end of the tract as recommended by the Fire Department. The arguments raised in the appeal letters (Attachment No. 2) contest the adequacy of the .environmental review for the project. The following issues were also raised at the Planning Commission public hearing and are discussed in more detail in the Planning Commission staff report (Attachment Nos. 7 & 8): Biology Comments received during the mitigated negative declaration comment period and Planning Commission public hearing referenced concerns over impacts that the development would have on biological resources in the area, including impacts to various species of birds, rabbits, rodents, insects, trees and other vegetation. A City consultant conducted a biological resources evaluation of the project site on March 22, 1999. The evaluation concluded that the subject site does not support active resident or breeding populations of any native wildlife species, nor does it serve as an essential foraging, roosting, or sheltering site for same (see Attachment No. 12). In addition, the survey indicated that there was no evidence of western burrowing owls, and that the present and on-going levels of substrate and habitat disturbance renders the site unsuitable for their use. PL99-35 -7- 06/03/99 8:03 AM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: June 7, 1999 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL 98-35 The existing eucalyptus (blue gum) trees within the tract boundary are not located within the designated environmentally sensitive habitat area (ESHA). A survey of these trees by the City's consultant concluded the trees were in a state of declining health. The trees did not appear to be functioning as a structural or biological resource for local birds of prey or other sensitive species. To further minimize impacts to the existing environmental resources, staff recommends a condition that prior to occupancy of any residential unit, residents be given written notice of the presence of sensitive environmental resource areas adjacent to the project, and that they be instructed to comply with all ordinances regarding confinement and leashing of pets. In summary, the consulting biologist indicated that development of the proposed subdivision would not directly result in impacts to agency-listed sensitive plants or animals, or to any threatened or endangered species. Furthermore, the development would not eliminate essential foraging, roosting, nesting, or seasonal use areas for any such species, nor interfere with migratory or non-seasonal movement patterns. Specific responses to comments received on the mitigated negative declaration are provided in Attachment No. 12. Archeology Several speakers at the Planning Commission public hearing indicated that the site was archeologically significant and that further subsurface research should be conducted. Bolsa Chica Mesa has been surveyed at least 10 times in the past from the 1920's to 1994. The numerous surveys did result in the recordation of an archaeological site in this locale designated ORA-86. The ORA-86 site is bisected by Bolsa Chica Street at its intersection with Los Patos and also exists north of the Goodell parcel (Attachment No. 12). A test excavation of ORA-86 was conducted in 1973, and was determined at that time to be significantly disturbed. No further investigation was recommended. The current condition of this archaeological site was summarized in the Bolsa Chica EIR #551 certified by the County of Orange in 1996, as follows: ORA-86, located north of the Goodell property, was tested in 1973 Eight hand-excavated 1 5 by 1 5-m units and 10 backhoe trenches were employed in the test program (Cooley 1973) Part of the site was overlain by peat fill dirt up to a depth of 60 cm Below this was an orange clay which contained sparse amounts of shell Dark madden with heavier shell content was found only along the bluff edge Very few artifacts were recovered Given the stratigraphy documented at ORA-83 (Whitney-Desautels 1986), it appears that most of the cultural deposits have been removed from ORA-86 and replaced by peat fill The orange clay was found below the cultural deposits at ORA-83. Cooley concluded that the site had been "radically disturbed" and that the artifact yield "is so low, and so fragmented, that it is not possible to make any definitive statements concerning the age of the site or the lifeways of the people based on artifact typology " Because of the disturbance and the low artifact yield, Cooley's recommendation was that the site was not significant as it appeared to be destroyed and no further investigation would be required PL99-35 -8- 06/03/99 8:03 AM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: June 7, 1999 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL 98-35 Although the archeological site has been significantly disturbed, staff recommends that conditions requiring a survey be conducted by a certified archeologist prior to issuance of any grading permit, and that all grading activities be monitored by a certified archeologist be imposed on the project. In addition, the appellant contends that because no final approval has been granted for the remainder of the mesa, the proposed subdivision results in piecemeal development. The proposed subdivision is designed to function with or without the development of the remainder of the mesa. Vehicular access will be provided from the southerly extension of Bolsa Chica Street (Attachment No. 3). No direct access to Los Patos Avenue will be provided with the exception of a 20 foot wide secondary emergency access at the west end of the tract as recommended by the Fire Department. F. SUMMARY Staff supports the proposed subdivision based on the following reasons: . The proposed single family residential subdivision is consistent with the Low Density Residential Land Use designation in the General Plan and zoning regulations. It is a traditional layout with minimum 6,000 square foot lots. . The single family residences will be compatible with the existing residential uses across Los Patos Avenue and future land uses on the mesa (County of Orange). . With the recommended conditions, the development of the six acre site will not have a negative impact on the environment and the sensitive environmental resources in the Bolsa Chica. In addition, the implementation of mitigation measures will minimize impacts to coastal views, drainage, and biological and archeological resources in the area. . The project will provide public benefits including the dedication and full street improvements on Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Street adjacent to the tract, and a park access dedication to a proposed park. . The project is designed to provide future access to the proposed development on the Bolsa Chica mesa through Bolsa Chica Street south of the subdivision. Interior streets are also designed to link to the proposed interior streets in the County area. . The proposed subdivision is consistent with the goals and policies of the California Coastal Act and City's Local Coastal Program. PL99-35 -9- 06/03/99 8:03 AM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: June 7, 1999 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL 98-35 Environmental Status: Staff has reviewed the environmental assessment and determined that no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposed project that could not be mitigated to a level of insignificance with proper design and engineering. Subsequently, Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 (Attachment No. 12) was prepared with mitigation measures pursuant to Section 240.04 of the HBZSO and the provisions of the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA). The Planning Department advertised draft Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 for twenty (20) days commencing on January 21, 1999 and ending on February 10, 1999. Comments were received from the County of Orange, interest groups including the Sierra Club and Bolsa Chica Land Trust, and other interested parties concerning the impacts resulting from the development of the property. Responses to the comments and errata have been included with the attached Mitigated Negative Declaration (Attachment No. 12). The majority of comments were in reference to the following issues: • Insufficient environmental review • Archeological significance • Biological Resources • General Plan and Land Use compatibility • Grading/Drainage • Hazards/Seismic • Public Services and Utilities • Recreation • Traffic/ Street and Bicycle Trail circulation The Huntington Beach Environmental Board reviewed the mitigated negative declaration and notes that the proposed project is consistent with the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and current zoning, and is compatible with the surrounding developments and proposed development of the Bolsa Chica Mesa However, the Board also indicates that should the development of the Mesa be curtailed or substantially altered, the proposed project, as the only subdivision south of Los Patos Avenue would not be consistent with the intended use of the Mesa. The entire site will be graded prior to construction. The attached environmental checklist indicated that approximately 800 cubic yards of soil was to be imported to the site in order to grade the site for proper drainage. The amount of fill was underestimated and is now estimated to be approximately 5,000 cubic yards. With the implementation of the standard conditions of approval pertaining to grading, import, and truck routes, the change in the amount is still considered less than significant. The higher quantity was noted earlier in the environmental review process and was analyzed as such. Furthermore, the modification has been noted in the errata to the attached mitigated negative declaration (Attachment No. 12). PL99-35 -10- 06/03/99 8:03 AM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: June 7, 1999 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL 98-35 Prior to any action on Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 and Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17, it is necessary for the Planning Commission to review and act on Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11. Staff, in its initial study of the project, is recommending that the mitigated negative declaration be approved with findings and mitigation measures. If approved, the mitigation monitoring will be conducted upon compliance with approved conditions of approval. Each mitigation measure has been incorporated into the suggested conditions of approval and will be monitored based upon the timing of development (i.e. prior to issuance of building permits, etc).

Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 has been prepared in compliance with Article 6 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. It was advertised and available for a public comment period of twenty (20) days. Comments received during the comment period were responded to, and the comments and responses were considered by the Planning Commission prior to action on Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11, Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 and Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17. 2. The only potentially significant impact identified in the Initial Study prepared for the TTM/CUP/CDP related to views from existing residences resulting from cut and fill necessary to provide for adequate drainage. A mitigation measure addressing this potential impact, attached hereto and shall become part of the project conditions of approval, (unless superseded by more restrictive TTM/CUP/CDP conditions), and will avoid or reduce the project's effects to a level of less than significant. 3. In addition to the mitigation measure identified in the Initial Study, the City has identified additional mitigation measures for impacts that were identified as less than significant in the Initial Study, and which will further minimize and reduce these less than significant impacts. These are included in the project conditions of approval and are identified therein as mitigation measures. These mitigation measures will help minimize less than significant .impacts to: • grading activities as it relates to hydrology, drainage and runoff; • water quality management planning; • biological and cultural resources; • construction traffic and air quality; outdoor lighting; • public services and utilities; and • affordable housing requirements. 4. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Planning Commission that the project, as mitigated through the mitigation measures and conditions of approval adopted for Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 and Coastal Development Pen-nit No. 98-17, will have a significant effect on the environment, and compliance with these mitigation measures and conditions shall be monitored and reported on through a mitigation monitoring program adopted by the City. 5. Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 reflects the independent judgement and analysis of the Planning Commission. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 15734: 1. Tentative Tract Map No. 15734 for an approximate five (5) net acre residential subdivision for 16 single family detached residences is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element designation of Low Density Residential on the subject property and the applicable provisions of HBZSO. The proposed single family residential subdivision is a permitted use. 2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The project's density is 3.4 units per net acre (excluding the Bolsa Chica Street extension) which is within the allowable density for Low Density Residential (max. 7 units per net acre). The project site is relatively flat and is compatible with the surrounding low density residential uses. 3. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements will not cause serious health problems or substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The proposed project was evaluated under Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 which identified all potential environmental impacts. As a result, the project will comply with appropriate mitigation measures. 4. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with public or private easements. The subdivision will provide all necessary easements and will not affect any existing easements. The project is designed to provide future access to the proposed development on the Bolsa Chica mesa through Bolsa Chica Street south of the subdivision. Interior streets are also designed to link to the proposed interior streets in the County area. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 98-49: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 for the establislunent, maintenance and operation of the 16 unit single family residential subdivision, which includes building heights of up to 32 feet, 2 inches will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. The project is consistent with the character of the low density residential uses in the area. The increased roof peak heights will provide for enhanced architectural design while complying with the maximum building height of 35 feet. 2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding residential uses as well as the proposed residential uses. The proposed grading, site layout and design of the 16 unit single family residential subdivision properly adapts the proposed structures to streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner. Furthermore, the project is designed to either remain as a 16 unit project or incorporate into a future master plan community located within the County of Orange's jurisdiction. I 3. The proposed 16 unit single family residential subdivision will comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located. The proposed residential subdivision complies will all code provisions, including lot size, setbacks, density, landscaping and parking. The increased building heights are permitted subject to approval of a conditional use perinit. No variances are proposed as part of this request. 4. The granting of the conditional use pert-nit will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Low Density Residential on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: a. Provide for the timing of residential, commercial and industrial development coincident with the availability of adequate market demand to ensure economic vitality. (LU 1.1) b. Accommodate the development of single family residential units in areas designated by the Land Use Plan Map, as stipulated by the Land Use and Density Schedule. (LU 9.1.1) C. Require and single family residential units be designed to convey a high level of quality and character considering the following guidelines: 1) Modulate and articulate building elevation, facades, and masses (avoiding undifferentiated "box-like" structures). 2) Encourage innovative and creative design concepts. 3) Locate and design garages so that they do not dominate the street frontage. (LU 9.1.2) d. Require that the design of new subdivisions consider the following: 1) Establish a continuous network of sidewalks, bicycle and pedestrian paths, and other elements that link all community areas and provide linkages to land uses in adjacent areas. 2) Site and design of units and incorporate elements, such as porches, that emphasize front yards as an activity area and "outdoor living room," by locating garages in the rear or side yards. (LU 9.3.2) e. Require that new development be designed to consider coastal views in its massing, height, and site orientation. (UD 2.1.1) f. Require that future development be designed and sited to maintain the natural topographic characteristics of the City including the minimization of the area and height of cuts and fills. (ERC 4.1.6) The building architecture and floor plan layout of the proposed homes offer a unique and creative design alternative consistent with the goals and policies noted above. The homes are designed with porches and outdoor living areas, and garages to the rear or separated by living area so not to dominate the street frontage. In addition, the subdivision layout is designed to provide for the necessary easements and improvements without impacting adjacent uses. The subdivision is designed to link with streets, sidewalks, and bicycle/pedestrian paths that are either existing or proposed in the area SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 98-17: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17 for the 16 unit single family residential development as conditioned, conforms with the General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program. The proposed subdivision complies with the Low Density Residential Land Use designation of the General Plan. 2.

PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS B-1 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 15734/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 98- 49/COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 98-17/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 98-11 (SANDOVER) APPLICANT: Hearthside Homes, Inc., c/o Ed Mountford LOCATION: Southwest corner of Bolsa Chica Street and Los Patos Avenue. PROJECT PLANNER: Wayne Carvalho Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49, Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17 and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 represent a request by Hearthside Homes, Inc. to subdivide approximately five (5) net acres for the construction of 16 single family residences. The request includes allowing perimeter wall heights of up to eight (8) feet, and residential building heights of up to 32 feet, 2 inches (measured from building pad to roof peak). ti STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The property is general planned and zoned for low density residential. The project complies with the General Plan and Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. An environmental analysis has been prepared and a mitigated negative declaration is recommended. Staff supports the proposed subdivision based on the following reasons: • The proposed single family residential subdivision is consistent with the Low Density Residential Land Use designation in the General Plan and zoning regulations. It is a traditional layout with minimum 6,000 square foot lots. • The single family residences will be compatible with the existing residential uses across Los Patos Avenue and proposed land uses on the mesa(County of Orange). • With the recommended conditions, the development of the six acre site will not have a negative impact on the environment and the sensitive environmental resources in the Bolsa Chica. In addition, the implementation of mitigation measures will minimize impacts to coastal views, drainage, and biological resources in the area. • The project will provide public benefits including the dedication and full street improvements on Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Street adjacent to the tract, and a park access dedication to a proposed park. The project is designed to provide future access to the proposed development on the Bolsa Chica mesa through Bolsa Chica Street south of the subdivision. Interior streets are also designed to link to the proposed interior streets in the County area. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the goals and policies of the California Coastal Act and City's Local Coastal Program. The Commission discussed the easement to the proposed Parkside project adjacent to the site and emergency access and archeological concerns. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Ed Mountford, 6 Executive Park, Irvine, applicant, gave a brief description of the company Hearthside, Inc. Mr. Mountford stated that the Sandover project is an important element to the larger plan for the area. He also stated that the architectural style would be a prototype for future build out on the Mesa. The Commission asked Mr. Mountford why they are requesting and eight (8) foot high wall on a berm when the code only calls for a six (6) foot high wall. The Commission was concerned about the height of the wall because in some places it would be 11 feet high with the proposed grading. Mr. Mountford stated that they want the eight (8) foot high capability on Bolsa Chica for noise reduction purposes. Bruce Peters, Californians for Bolsa Chica, 16922 Marina Bay Drive, spoke in support of the request. He stated the proposed project will provide public benefits, enhance local property values and complies with the city's development regulations. Bob Traver, 7402 Coho Drive, Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce, spoke in support of the request. He stated the proposed project provides environmental protection to the area, provides trails, parks and open space and meets the city's development requirements. PC Minutes—4/13/99 2 (99PCM413) Connie Boardman, Bolsa Chica Land Trust, spoke in opposition to the mitigated negative declaration stating it was inadequate and that an environmental impact report should be completed for this project. Eileen Murphy, 201-21 s` Street, Bolsa Chica Land Trust, spoke in opposition to the mitigated negative declaration stating it was inadequate and that an environmental impact report should be completed for this project. Jan McKeever, PO Box 167, Sunset Beach, stated concern with the soils on the site and stressed that the City should build on this property responsibly. Bob Winchell, Huntington Beach Tomorrow, spoke in opposition to the mitigated negative declaration because it was inadequate. He stated there is strong evidence that an environmental impact report should be completed. Dean Albright, 17301 Breda Lane, Bolsa Chica Land Trust, stated concern that the water supply will be depleted for the Orange County area. He stated that there should be a moratorium on building in Huntington Beach until the water issues can be reconciled. Virginia Bickford, 11962 Cherry Street, Los Alamitos, California Cultural Resources Alliances, spoke in opposition to the mitigated negative declaration. She stated that this is a sensitive cultural area and was not sufficiently examined. Ms. Bickford stated that an environmental impact report should be completed. Ernest Bartolo, 6142 Jasonwood Drive, spoke in support of the request. He stated that the proposed development meets zoning and development requirements, is a balanced development and the developer has reduced the density. Mr. Bartolo stated that since 25% of the City's money comes from property taxes, the City should build some nice homes to receive greater tax revenues. Aimee Toth, 1928 Lake Street, spoke in opposition to the request stating she would prefer open space and the natural habitat. Paul Horgan, 207-21" Street, Bolsa Chica Land Trust, spoke in opposition to the mitigated negative declaration stating it was inadequate. He stated the project site should require an environmental impact report to be completed. Jan Vandersloot, 8108 Newman, #L, Bolsa Chica Land Trust, spoke in opposition to the mitigated negative declaration stating that an environmental impact report should be completed. Mark Hotchkiss, 1732 Harbor Way, Seal Beach, spoke in opposition to the mitigated negative declaration stating it failed to address the archeological issues of the area. He stated that a full environmental impact report should be completed for the site. Joey Racano, 301 Main Street, representing SHARK, spoke in opposition to the request. Mr. Racano stated concern with losing the natural wildlife that dwells on the mesa. Moira Hahn, 1732 Harbor Way, Seal Beach, Cultural Resource Conservancy, spoke in opposition to the mitigated negative declaration. She stated that the subject site has never had subsurface research and stated an environmental impact report should be completed. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. PC Minutes—4/13/99 3 (99PCM413) The Commission discussed fault line and archeological site issues. Staff stated that conditions of approval have been imposed on the proposed project to cover these issues. The Commission also discussed the adequacy of the mitigated negative declaration and Environmental Impact Report No. 551. Staff explained that Environmental Impact Report No. 551 was certified by the County of Orange in 1996, which indicated that ORA-86 and ORA-83 were tested in 1973 and that the site was "radically disturbed," had a low artifact yield, and that no further investigation was required. Staff indicated that a condition requiring that all grading activities be monitored by a certified archaeologist be imposed on the project. Commissioner Biddle stated that he would not support approval of the mitigated negative declaration. He feels that there is sufficient evidence to warrant an environmental impact report. A MOTION WAS MADE BY LAIRD, SECONDED BY SPEAKER, TO APPROVE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 98-11 WITH MODIFIED FINDINGS AND MITIGATION MEASURES, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Laird, Kerins, Speaker, Livengood NOES: Chapman, Biddle ABSENT: Mandic ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED Commissioner Biddle stated that he would not support the proposed project because the General Plan supports denial by stating that Open Space and Natural Resources should be protected and effects to wetlands should be reduced. Commissioner Kerins stated that he could not support the proposed request because he feels it is piece meal planning. He stated the project should be continued until legal issues with the amiexation process are resolved and the project can be viewed in comparison with development plans for adjacent properties. Commissioner Livengood stated he feels the project is legally in conformance with land use regulations and because of that feels obliged to approve; however, he would only support a six (6) foot high perimeter wall on top of the berm. Commissioner Speaker stated that the property owner has property rights and since the property owner is meeting all building code requirements he will support approval of the request. A MOTION WAS MADE BY LAIRD, SECONDED BY SPEAKER, TO APPROVE TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 15734, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 98-49 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 98-17 WITH FINDINGS AND MODIFIED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Laird, Speaker, Livengood NOES: Kerins, Chapman, Biddle ABSENT: Mandic ABSTAIN: None MOTION FAILED THIS ITEM WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE CONTINUED TO THE APRIL 27 1999 MEETING. PC Minutes—4/13/99 4 (99PCM413) FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 98-11: 1. Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 has been prepared in compliance with Article 6 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. It was advertised and available for a public comment period of twenty (20) days. Comments received during the comment period were responded to, and the comments and responses were considered by the Planning Commission prior to action on Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11, Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 and Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17. 2. The only potentially significant impact identified in the Initial Study prepared for the TTM/CUP/CDP related to views from existing residences resulting from cut and fill necessary to provide for adequate drainage. A mitigation measure addressing this potential impact, attached hereto and shall become part of the project conditions of approval, (unless superceded by more restrictive TTM/CUP/CDP conditions), and will avoid or reduce the project's effects to a level of less than significant. 3. In addition to the mitigation measure identified in the Initial Study, the City has identified additional mitigation measures for impacts that were identified as less than significant in the Initial Study, and which will further minimize and reduce these less than significant impacts. These are included in the project conditions of approval and are identified therein as mitigation measures. These mitigation measures will help minimize less than significant impacts to: grading activities as it relates to hydrology, drainage and runoff, • water quality management planning; biological and cultural resources; construction traffic and air quality; • outdoor lighting; • public services and utilities; and • affordable housing requirements. 4. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Planning Commission that the project, as mitigated through the mitigation measures and conditions of approval adopted for Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 and Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17, will have a significant effect on the environment, and compliance with these mitigation measures and conditions shall be monitored and reported on through a mitigation monitoring program adopted by the City. 5. Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 reflects the independent judgement and analysis of the Planning Commission.

The requested day care use should be approved because there are alrea ee day care/school uses at this site and this is simply an extension of these uses which are simila the intended and historic use of the school. The request complies with zoning requirements as as General Plan goals, policies, and objectives and provides a service needed by area rest"e The request to permit up to 20 percent compact parking is recommended for approval because rt allows for an efficient parking layout and an increase in the amount of on-site parking. FINDINGS FOR DENIAL: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 98-85: 1. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the automobile sales lot with parking for s nteen (17) display vehicles in conjunction of a 1,741 square foot two-story building will be det ' ental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the ue of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. The automobile sales lot is divid into two (2) separate locations requiring customers to cross Yorktown Avenue to get from o ocation to the other. 2. Conditional Use Permit No. 98-85 for the establishment of the automo ' sales lot will not be compatible with surrounding uses due to the increase in height of th roposed building and high profile nature of the vehicles being offered for sale. The intent o e General Plan is to locate automobile dealerships further north along Beach Boulevard a to the north side of Warner Avenue. At its present location, the car lot has limited poin of ingress and egress for customers, vehicles being test driven, and vehicles being delivered f other locations. Currently, the automobile delivery truck must park on the Yorktown enue painted median to off-load vehicles for the subject site. 3. The proposed automobile sales lot will compl ith the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the ntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) and any specific condition req ' ed for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located. Setbacks, building height, e aisle width, and other minimum requirements of the HBZSO have been provided 4. The granting of the conditional e permit for the proposed automobile sales will adversely affect the General Plan. It is not c intent with the Land Use Element designation of CG (Commercial General) on the subject pr erty. In addition, it is inconsistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: a. (LU 8.1.1) Cr e a network of interrelated activity centers and corridors through the use of distinct fun onal roles, activities, and/or through the form and scale of development. b. (LU 1 . ) Encourage the development of an automobile district that consolidates existing and ace modates additional automobile dealerships. C. E 2.3.1) Require development projects to mitigate off-site traffic impacts and pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular conflicts to the maximum extent feasible. B-3 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 15734/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 98-49/ COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 98-17 (SANDOVER) (CONTINUED FROM THE APRIL 13, 1999 MEETING): APPLICANT: Hearthside Homes, Inc., c/o Ed Mountford LOCATION: Southwest corner of Bolsa Chica Street and Los Patos Avenue. PROJECT PLANNER: Wayne Carvalho Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49, and Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17 represent a request by Hearthside Homes, Inc. to subdivide approximately five (5) net acres for the construction of 16 single family residences. The request includes allowing residential building heights of up to 32 feet, 2 inches (measured from building pad to roof peak) and increased perimeter wall heights. PC Minutes—5/27/99 9 (99PCM427) At the April 13, 1999 Planning Commission meeting, 16 people spoke on the proposed subdivision. Issues raised included inadequate environmental review, impacts to biological and archeological resources, public services and utilities, and potential impacts resulting from soil conditions and drainage on the site. Following the public testimony, a motion to approve Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 with revised findings and mitigation measures (Attachment No. 2) passed on a 4-2 vote, with one commissioner absent. A motion to approve the tentative tract map, conditional use permit, and coastal development permit failed due to a 3- 3 tie vote resulting in an automatic continuance to the April 27, 1999 meeting. A Notice of Determination on the mitigated negative declaration was sent to the Orange County Clerk for posting. On April 21, 1999, an appeal was filed by the Bolsa Chica Land Trust citing that an environmental impact report should be prepared for the project based on inadequate studies/information on the impacts to archeological and biological resources. The item will be scheduled before the City Council at one of their upcoming meetings. The suggested findings and conditions of approval for the project have been modified to reflect the approved mitigation measures and the Planning Commission discussion at the last meeting. The revisions, which pertain to the submittal of archeological reports/surveys, and restrictions on perimeter wall heights to six (6) feet, have been incorporated into the conditions of approval in legislative draft form. In addition, the Bolsa Chica Street extension condition has been modified to require full street improvements adjacent to the tract. The Subdivision Committee has recommended a 24 foot wide interim street section which is also included for Planning Commission consideration. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff maintains a recommendation for approval based on the project's consistency with the Low Density Residential Land Use designation in the General Plan and zoning regulations, compatibility with the existing residential uses across Los Patos Avenue and proposed land uses on the mesa(County of Orange). In addition, with implementation of the approved mitigation measures and recommended conditions, the development will not have a negative impact on the environment and the sensitive environmental resources in the Bolsa Chica. Commissioner Mandic stated that she had viewed the videotape of the April 13, 1999 meeting and was prepared to take action on the request. The Commission discussed procedures/processes that would notify future residents of the animal regulations contained in the mitigated negative declaration. They suggested the addition of a condition that would require the developer to pay the city for signs and installation costs that would identify the presence of sensitive resource areas in the area and local ordinances requiring confinement of pets. The Commission also discussed saving the eucalyptus trees along the proposed Bolsa Chica street extension, with a report to be completed by a certified arborist, identifying the health of each tree and recommendations to improve the health and ultimate life of those trees. The Commission stated that the Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11, which was approved and certified at the April 13, 1999 meeting, was under appeal to the City Council. They asked legal counsel what would happen if this request was approved and the appeal on the negative declaration was upheld. Paul D'Alessandro, Deputy City Attorney, stated the project would be void. PC Minutes—5/27/99 10 (99PCM427) The majority of the Commission stated that the property owner has rights and as long as the request conforms with the City's General Plan and land use regulations they should support the request. Commissioner Kerins stated he would not be supporting the request because he feels it is "piece meal" development. A MOTION WAS MADE BY LAIRD, SECONDED BY SPEAKER, TO APPROVE TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 15734, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 98-49 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 98-17 WITH FINDINGS AND MODIFIED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Laird, Chapman, Speaker, Biddle, Livengood, Mandic NOES: Kerins ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 15734: 1. Tentative Tract Map No. 15734 for an approximate five (5) net acre residential subdivision for 16 single family detached residences is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element designation of Low Density Residential on the subject property and the applicable provisions of HBZSO. The proposed single family residential subdivision is a permitted use. 2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The project's density is 3.4 units per net acre (excluding the Bolsa Chica Street extension) which is within the allowable density for Low Density Residential (max. 7 units per net acre). The project site is relatively flat and is compatible with the surrounding low density residential uses. 3. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements will not cause serious health problems or substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The proposed project was evaluated under Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 which identified all potential environmental impacts. As a result, the project will comply with appropriate mitigation measures. 4. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with public or private easements. The subdivision will provide all necessary easements and will not affect any existing easements. The project is designed to provide future access to the proposed development on the Bolsa Chica mesa through Bolsa Chica Street south of the subdivision. Interior streets are also designed to link to the proposed interior streets in the County area. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 98-49: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the 16 unit single family residential subdivision, which includes building heights of up to 32 feet, 2 inches will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. The project is consistent with the character of the low density residential uses in the area. The increased roof peak heights will provide for enhanced architectural design while complying with the maximum building height of 35 feet. PC Minutes—5/27/99 11 (99PCM427) 2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding residential uses as well as the proposed residential uses. The proposed grading, site layout and design of the 16 unit single family residential subdivision properly adapts the proposed structures to streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner. Furthermore, the project is designed to either remain as a 16 unit project or incorporate into a future master plan community located within the County of Orange's jurisdiction. 3. The proposed 16 unit single family residential subdivision will comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located. The proposed residential subdivision complies will all code provisions, including lot size, setbacks, density, landscaping and parking. The increased building heights are permitted subject to approval of a conditional use permit. No variances are proposed as part of this request. 4. The granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Low Density Residential on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: a. Provide for the timing of residential, commercial and industrial development coincident with the availability of adequate market demand to ensure economic vitality. (LU 1.1) b. Accommodate the development of single family residential units in areas designated by the Land Use Plan Map, as stipulated by the Land Use and Density Schedule. (LU 9.1.1) C. Require and single family residential units be designed to convey a high level of quality and character considering the following guidelines: 1) Modulate and articulate building elevation, facades, and masses (avoiding undifferentiated "box-like" structures). 2) Encourage innovative and creative design concepts. 3) Locate and design garages so that they do not dominate the street frontage. (LU 9.1.2) d. Require that the design of new subdivisions consider the following: 1) Establish a continuous network of sidewalks, bicycle and pedestrian paths, and other elements that link all community areas and provide linkages to land uses in adjacent areas. 2) Site and design of units and incorporate elements, such as porches, that emphasize front yards as an activity area and"outdoor living room," by locating garages in the rear or side yards. (LU 9.3.2) e. Require that new development be designed to consider coastal views in its massing, height, and site orientation. (UD 2.1.1) f. Require that future development be designed and sited to maintain the natural topographic characteristics of the City including the minimization of the area and height of cuts and fills. (ERC 4.1.6) PC Minutes—5/27/99 12 (99PCM427) The building architecture and floor plan layout of the proposed homes offer a unique and creative design alternative consistent with the goals and policies noted above. The homes are designed with porches and outdoor living areas, and garages to the rear or separated by living area so not to dominate the street frontage. In addition, the subdivision layout is designed to provide for the necessary easements and improvements without impacting adjacent uses. The subdivision is designed to link with streets, sidewalks, and bicycle/pedestrian paths that are either existing or proposed in the area FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 98-17: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17 for the 16 unit single family residential development as conditioned, conforms with the General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program. The proposed subdivision complies with the Low Density Residential Land Use designation of the General Plan. 2. The project is consistent with the requirements of the CZ Overlay District, the base zoning district, as well as other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. The proposed subdivision will comply with all code provisions including density, building height, open space and parking. 3. At the time of occupancy the proposed development can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Local Coastal Program. Access, utilities, and all other infrastructure will be provided as required by the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program, Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and City standards. 4. The development conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. Proposed subdivisions located 300 feet away from the water are not required to provide vertical or lateral access to coastal resources.

ST A NU1rtD+LlON![Kll s F P OR RE TO: Planning Commission FROM: Howard Zelefsky, Planning Director BY: Wayne Carvalho, Associate Planner ] DATE: April 27, 1999 SUBJECT: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 15734/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 98- 49/COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 98-17 (Sandover: 16 unit Single Family Residential Subdivision) (Continued from the April 13, 1999 Planning Commission Meeting) LOCATION: Southwest corner of Bolsa Chica Street and Los Patos Avenue STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49, and Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17 represent a request by Hearthside Homes, Inc. to subdivide approximately five (5) net acres for the construction of 16 single family residences. The request includes allowing residential building heights of up to 32 feet, 2 inches (measured from building pad to roof peak) and increased perimeter wall heights. At the April 13, 1999 Planning Commission meeting, 16 people spoke on the proposed subdivision. Issues raised included inadequate environmental review, impacts to biological and archeological resources, public services and utilities, and potential impacts resulting from soil conditions and drainage on the site. Following the public testimony, a motion to approve Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 with revised findings and mitigation measures (Attachment No. 2)passed on a 4-2 vote, with one commissioner absent. A motion to approve the tentative tract map, conditional use permit, and coastal development permit failed due to a 3-3 tie vote resulting in an automatic continuance to the April 27, 1999 meeting. A Notice of Determination on the mitigated negative declaration was sent to the Orange County Clerk for posting. On April 21, 1999, an appeal was filed by the Bolsa Chica Land Trust citing that an environmental impact report should be prepared for the project based on inadequate studies/information on the impacts to archeological and biological resources. The item will be scheduled before the City Council at one of their upcoming meetings. The suggested findings and conditions of approval (Attachment No. 1) for the project have been modified to reflect the approved mitigation measures (Attachment No. 2) and the Planning Commission discussion at the last meeting. The revisions, which pertain to the submittal of archeological reports/surveys, and restrictions on perimeter wall heights to six(6) feet, have been incorporated into the conditions of approval in legislative draft form (Attachment No. 1). In addition, the Bolsa Chica Street extension condition(Condition No. 3.r on Attachment No. 1.6) has been modified to require full street improvements adjacent to the tract. The Subdivision Committee has recommended a 24 foot wide interim street section which is also included (Condition No. 3.r. on Attachment No. 1.6) for Planning Commission consideration. #B.'3 Staff maintains a recommendation for approval based on the project's consistency with the Low Density Residential Land Use designation in the General Plan and zoning regulations, compatibility with the existing residential uses across Los Patos Avenue and proposed land uses on the mesa (County of Orange). In addition, with implementation of the approved mitigation measures and recommended conditions, the development will not have a negative impact on the environment and the sensitive environmental resources in the Bolsa Chica. RECOMMENDATION: Motion to: "Approve Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 and Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17 with suggested findings and conditions of approval (Attachment No. 1)." ALTERNATIVE ACTIONN: The Planning Commission may take alternative actions such as: A. "Deny Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 and Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17 with findings for denial." B. "Continue Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 and Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17 and direct staff accordingly." ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Tentative Tract Map No. 15734 for an approximate five (5) net acre residential subdivision for 16 single family detached residences is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element designation of Low Density Residential on the subject property and the applicable provisions of HBZSO. The proposed single family residential subdivision is a permitted use. 2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The project's density is 3.4 units per net acre (excluding the Bolsa Chica Street extension) which is within the allowable density for Low Density Residential (max. 7 units per net acre). The project site is relatively flat and is compatible with the surrounding low density residential uses. 3. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements will not cause serious health problems or substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The proposed project was evaluated under Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 which identified all potential environmental impacts. As a result, the project will comply with appropriate mitigation measures. 4. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with public or private easements. The subdivision will provide all necessary easements and will not affect any existing easements. The project is designed to provide future access to the proposed development on the Bolsa Chica mesa through Bolsa Chica Street south of the subdivision. Interior streets are also designed to link to the proposed interior streets in the County area. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 98-49: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the 16 unit single family residential subdivision, which includes building heights of up to 32 feet, 2 inches will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. The project is consistent with the (99sr 16)—4/27/99 Attachment No. 1.1 character of the low density residential uses in the area. The increased roof peak heights will provide for enhanced architectural design while complying with the maximum building height of 35 feet. 2. The conditional use permit v ill be compatible with surrounding residential uses as well as the proposed residential uses. The proposed grading. site layout and design of the 16 unit single family residential subdivision properly adapts the proposed structures to streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner. Furthermore, the project is designed to either remain as a 16 unit project or incorporate into a future master plan community located within the County of Orange's jurisdiction. 3. The proposed 16 unit single family residential subdivision will comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located. The proposed residential subdivision complies will all code provisions, including lot size, setbacks, density, landscaping and parking. The increased building heights are permitted subject to approval of a conditional use permit. No variances are proposed as part of this request. 4. The granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Low Density Residential on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: a. Provide for the timing of residential, commercial and industrial development coincident with the availability of adequate market demand to ensure economic vitality. (LU 1.1) b. Accommodate the development of single family residential units in areas designated by the Land Use Plan Map, as stipulated by the Land Use and Density Schedule. (LU 9.1.1) c.

(LU 9.3.2) (99sr16)—4/27 99 Attachment No. 1.2 e. Require that new development be designed to consider coastal views in its massing, height, and site orientation. (UD 2.1.1) f. Require that future development be designed and sited to maintain the natural topographic characteristics of the City including the minimization of the area and height of cuts and fills. (ERC 4.1.6) The building architecture and floor plan layout of the proposed homes offer a unique and creative design alternative consistent with the goals and policies noted above. The homes are designed with porches and outdoor living areas, and garages to the rear or separated by living area so not to dominate the street frontage. In addition, the subdivision layout is designed to provide for the necessary easements and improvements without impacting adjacent uses.

LOCATION: Southwest corner of Bolsa Chica Street and Los Patos Avenue STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49, Coastal Development Permit No. 98- 17 and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 represent a request by Hearthside Homes, Inc. to subdivide approximately five (5) net acres for the construction of 16 single family residences. The request includes allowing perimeter wall heights of up to eight (8) feet, and residential building heights of up to 32 feet, 2 inches (measured from building pad to roof peak). The property is general planned and zoned for low density residential. The project complies with the General Plan and Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. An environmental analysis has been prepared and a mitigated negative declaration is recommended. Staff supports the proposed subdivision based on the following reasons: The proposed single family residential subdivision is consistent with the Low Density Residential Land Use designation in the General Plan and zoning regulations. It is a traditional layout with minimum 6,000 square foot lots. The single family residences will be compatible with the existing residential uses across Los Patos Avenue and proposed land uses on the mesa (County of Orange). • With the recommended conditions,the development of the six acre site will not have a negative impact on the environment and the sensitive environmental resources in the Bolsa Chica. In addition, the implementation of mitigation measures will minimize impacts to coastal views, drainage, and biological resources in the area. • The project will provide public benefits including the dedication and full street improvements on Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Street adjacent to the tract, and a park access dedication to a proposed park. The project is designed to provide future access to the proposed development on the Bolsa Chica mesa through Bolsa Chica Street south of the subdivision. Interior streets are also designed to link to the proposed interior streets in the County area. • The proposed subdivision is consistent with the goals and policies of the California Coastal Act and City's Local Coastal Program. 1 (� RECOMMENDATION: Motion to: A.

To allow building heights of up to 32 feet, 2 inches measured from the building pad to roof peak pursuant to Section 210.06 (M) 1.c. of the ZSO. The ZSO allows structures over 30 feet up to 35 feet in height pursuant to a conditional use permit. The increased height allows for a steeper pitched gable roof design and vaulted ceilings. C. To allow perimeter walls along Bolsa Chica Street and Los Patos Avenue of up to eight (8) feet in height measured from the top of berm in lieu of maximum six (6) feet pursuant to Section 230.88.A.11 of the ZSO. The proposed berm is 1-3 feet above the top of curb The proposed project is designed to function properly with or without integration with the future master plan of development located within the County's jurisdiction, which is also owned by the subject property owner(Signal Landmark Co.). The adjacent Planned Community was approved by the County of Orange and California Coastal Commission and is currently pending a court decision by the California Court of Appeals. Signal Landmark Co. also owns the property to the east which is designated as Open Space- Park. (OS-P) in the City's General Plan. Approximately 5,000 cubic yards of soil will be imported and graded onto the site. The additional fill is necessary to properly drain the site toward the northwest (Los Patos Ave.) and southeast (Bolsa Chica St.) limits of the tract. The existing site has an approximate 2.5 foot grade differential from the highest point to the lowest point. Property along Los Patos Avenue and the extension of Bolsa Chica Street will be dedicated for public street purposes. All streets will be designed to public street standards (40 ft. curb to curb with 6 ft. sidewalks on both sides). However, the streets within the tract will be held under private ownership. A 20 foot wide emergency access easement will be provided to Los Patos Avenue; should the Bolsa Chica Mesa be developed, this easement will be eliminated. No privacy gates are proposed as part of this request. The applicant will be required to provide for two (2) affordable units in conjunction with the 16 unit subdivision. Staff has included a condition of approval (Attachment No. 1) which offers several alternatives to satisfy the affordable housing requirement. The applicant has indicated that the affordable units will be provided off-site, by restricting the two units to low income families (less than 80%of County median) for a period not less than 30 years. The parkland dedication requirement will be satisfied by dedicating a 30 foot wide easement along the north property line of the open space lot located east of the project site. The easement will provide pedestrian and vehicular maintenance access to the proposed public park located approximately 400 feet east of the project site. This easement dedication was recommended by staff and supported by the applicant. The reason for the application is to request approval of the approximate five (5) net acre subdivision and allows development of 16 single family homes (Attachment No. 7). The applicant indicates that there is a demand in the housing market for upscale single family residential units, and that the location of the proposed tract would be attractive to homebuyers. The increased building height will also add an attractive amenity with vaulted ceilings and a steeper roof pitch design. The applicant indicates that the request for the eight (8) foot high walls would provide more privacy and a better buffer from the noise associated with the vehicular and pedestrian traffic on Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Street. Staff Report—4/13/99 4 (99SR14) ISSUES: General Plan Conformance: The City of Huntington Beach General Plan, which was adopted in May of 1996, has not been approved by the California Coastal Commission(it is anticipated that the City will bring the updated General Plan to the Coastal Commission for their approval in 1999, upon completion of the Coastal Element Update). The Coastal Commission currently recognizes the City's previous General Plan, which was adopted in December of 1976 and amended through July of 1990. As a result, staff has analyzed the proposal with both General Plans, 1. City's Previous General Plan (1990) The proposed project is consistent with the following goals, objectives, and policies of the City's previous General Plan: a. Land Use Element Goal 3.4.2.5.1: To provide and maintain a quality living environment so that members of all economic, social, and ethnic groups may reside in Huntington Beach. This can be attained by providing a variety of housing types in all areas of the City. The subject sites are located in close proximity to different amenities such as the beach, Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, and bicycle and walking trails. In addition to this, future residents will have easy access to a major arterials, including Bolsa Chica Street and Warner Avenue. The 16 residential units will give people the opportunity to live in a different type of housing that may not be available in other parts of the City. Goal 3.4.2.7.2: To encourage and maintain a well balanced variety of residential density and uncrowded living environments. This can be attained by encouraging development of neighborhoods that are available and attractive to diverse economic groups. The proposed development will offer upscale residential housing for new home buyers. a. Coastal Element The proposed land use designation would implement the following policies of the Coastal Element of the General Plan: Policv 6c: Prohibit development along the bluffs rising up to the Bolsa Chica mesa(within the City's jurisdiction) which will alter the natural landforms or threaten the stability of the bluffs. Staff Report—4/13/99 5 (99SR14) Policy 9a: Approve only that development adjacent to wetlands and environmentally sensitive habitat areas that does not significantly degrade habitat values and which is compatible with the continuance of the habitat. The subdi,6sion is located approximately 800 feet from the top of the bluff and will not modify the bluff edge in any way. As referenced in the environmental analysis conducted by staff, the project ,.vill not significantly degrade environmentally sensitive habitat areas. 2. City's Adopted General Plan (1996): Although the City's adopted General Plan is not recognized by the California Coastal Commission, it is necessary to analyze the project in relation to it since it has been adopted by the City Council and represents current City policy. The proposed land use change is consistent with the following goals, objectives, and policies of the 1996 General Plan: a. Land Use Element OBJECTRE L U 1.1: Provide for the timing of residential, commercial and industrial development coincident with the availability of adequate market demand to ensure economic vitality. OBJECTIVE LU 9.1.1: Accommodate the development of single family residential units in areas designated by the Land Use Plan Map, as stipulated by the Land Use and Density Schedule. The project would provide 16 new single family residential units consistent with the land use designation on the property. OBJECTIVE L U 9.1.2: Require that single family residential units be designed to convey a high level of quality and character considering the following guidelines: a. Modulate and articulate building elevation, facades, and masses (avoiding undifferentiated "box-like"structures). b. Encourage innovative and creative design concepts. c. Locate and design garages so that they do not dominate the street frontage. The homes are designed with garages to the rear or separated by living area so not to dominate the street frontage. OBJECTRE L U 9.3.2: Require that the design of new subdivisions consider the following: a. Establish a continuous network of sidewalks, bicycle and pedestrian paths, and other elements that link all community areas and provide linkages to land uses in adjacent areas. b. Site and design of units and incorporate elements, such as porches, that emphasize front yards as an activity area and "outdoor living room," by locating garages in the rear or side yards. Staff Report—4/13/99 6 (99SR14) The subdivision is designed to link with streets, sidewalks, and bicycle/pedestrian paths that are either existing or proposed in the area. In addition,the homes are designed with porches and outdoor living areas. b. Urban Design Eleinent OBJECTIVE UD 2 1.1: Require that new development be designed to consider coastal views in its massing, height, and site orientation. c. Environmental Resources/Conservation Element OBJECTIVE ERC 4.1.6.- Require that future development be designed and sited to maintain the natural topographic characteristics of the City including the minimization of the area and height of cuts and fills. Many of the units have coastal view opportunities. The proposed grading and finished building pad heights are designed to minimize natural grade changes. Zoning Compliance: This project is primarily located in the Low Density Residential (RL) District with a small portion located in the Residential Agriculture (RA) District(Attachment No. 4). The single family residential lots will be located entirely within the RL District. The proposed subdivision and single family residences comply with the requirements of the RL District. The following is a zoning conformance matrix which compares the proposed project with the development standards of Chapters 210 Residential Districts, 230 Site Standards, 231 Off-Street Parking and Loading, and 254 Dedications and Reservations of the ZSO: :SECTION ,ISSUE CODE PROVISION ._ PROPOSED 210.04 Permitted Uses Single family residential Single family residential 210.06 Density Max. 7 units/net acre 3.4 units/net acre Lot size Min. 6000 sq.ft. 6000— 8974 sq.ft.

Subsequently, Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 (Attachment No. 8) was prepared with mitigation measures pursuant to Section 240.04 of the HBZSO and the provisions of the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA). The Planning Department advertised draft Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 for twenty (20) days commencing on January 21, 1999 and ending on February 10, 1999. Comments were received from the County of Orange, interest groups including the Sierra Club and Bolsa Chica Land Trust, and other interested parties concerning the impacts resulting from the development of the property. Responses to Staff Report—4/13/99 8 (99SR14) the comments and errata have been included with the attached Mitigated Negative Declaration (Attachment No. 8). The majority of comments were in reference to the following issues: • Insufficient environmental review • Archeological significance • Biological Resources • General Plan and Land Use compatibility • Grading/Drainage • Hazards/Seismic • Public Services and Utilities • Recreation • Traffic/ Street and Bicycle Trail circulation The Huntington Beach Environmental Board reviewed the mitigated negative declaration and notes that the proposed project is consistent with the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and current zoning, and is compatible with the surrounding developments and proposed development of the Bolsa Chica Mesa. However, the Board also indicates that should the development of the Mesa be curtailed or substantially altered, the proposed project, as the only subdivision south of Los Patos Avenue would not be consistent with the intended use of the Mesa. The entire site will be graded prior to construction. The attached environmental checklist indicated that approximately 800 cubic yards of soil was to be imported to the site in order to grade the site for proper drainage. The amount of fill was underestimated and is now estimated to be approximately 5,000 cubic yards. With the implementation of the standard conditions of approval pertaining to grading, import, and truck routes, the change in the amount is still considered less than significant. The higher quantity was noted earlier in the environmental review process and was analyzed as such. Furthermore, the modification has been noted in the errata to the attached mitigated negative declaration (Attachment No. 8). Prior to any action on Tentative Tract Map No. 15734, Conditional Use Permit No. 98-49 and Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17, it is necessary for the Planning Commission to review and act on Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11. Staff, in its initial study of the project, is recommending that the mitigated negative declaration be approved with findings and mitigation measures. If approved, the mitigation monitoring will be conducted upon compliance with approved conditions of approval. Each mitigation measure has been incorporated into the suggested conditions of approval and will be monitored based upon the timing of development (i.e. prior to issuance of building permits, etc). Coastal Status: The proposed project is within a non-appealable portion of the Coastal Zone. Coastal Development Permit No. 98-17 is being processed concurrently with the tentative tract map and conditional use permit Staff Report—4/13/99 9 (99SR14) pursuant to Chapter 245 of the ZSO. The proposed project complies with the zoning code and Coastal Zone requirements, and will implement the following policies of the Coastal Element of the General Plan: • Require that new development be designed to consider coastal views in its massing, height, and site orientation. • Assure that adequate services (i.e. water, sewer, roads, etc.) can be provided to serve the proposed development, consistent with policies contained in the plan, at the.time of occupancy. View opportunities to coastal resources are provided from many of the units through the design and site plan layout of the tract. In addition, the proposed one story garage element will allow for coastal views from certain second story homes. These opportunities may be considered temporary based on the proposal to develop the remainder of the mesa. The zoning on the property allows up to a 35 foot height limit for residential structures. The proposed heights of up to 32 feet, 2 inches would affect existing views from the adjacent residences on Los Patos Avenue. However, there are no view easements on the subject property, and the mitigation measures and conditions of approval minimize the fill on the site. The project will be provided with the necessary utilities and public services as the property was previously analyzed under a low density residential use (7 units/acre) as part of the General Plan Update in 1996. The project will provide street improvements along Bolsa Chica Street which will be preserved to eventually provide a proposed access along the mesa bluff. Redevelopment Status: Not applicable. Design Review Board: Not applicable Subdivision Committee: On February 17, 1999, the Subdivision Committee reviewed the design layout of the proposed residential subdivision. Following discussion of the recommended conditions, the subcommittee recommended approval of the proposed subdivision with the following conditions: 1. Design the Bolsa Chica Street extension as an interim 24 foot wide street, in an effort to preserve the existing eucalyptus (blue gum) trees on the east side of the street, subject to Fire Department approval for emergency access, and subject to Public Works Department approval of the transition striping at the intersection of Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Street. Full street improvements would be required upon the development of the mesa. 2. Final location of the pedestrian/maintenance vehicle access (easterly) to the public park shall be determined following further discussions with staff and the applicant. Staff Report—4/13/99 10 (99SR14) Parkland dedication requirements will be satisfied with the dedication of a 30 foot wide easement on the east side of Bolsa Chica Street (off-site) for pedestrian and maintenance vehicle access to the proposed public park (Parkside) located approximately 400 feet east of the proposed subdivision. The required amount of land dedication is 0.27 acres, and 0.27+ acres is proposed. Other Departments Concerns: The Departments of Public Works, Fire, Police and Building have recommended conditions that are incorporated into the conditions of approval. Public Notification: Legal notice was published in the Huntington Beach/Fountain Valley Independent on April 1, 1999, and notices were sent to property owners of record within a 300 ft. (and tenants within a 100 ft) radius of the subject property, applicant, and interested parties. As of April 7, 1999, no letters have been received as a result of the notification and publication. However, letters that were received during the environmental review period have been responded to and are included in Attachment No. 8. ANALYSIS: Land Use Compatibility The project is consistent with the two zoning designations on the subject property. Although a small triangular section of the project is zoned RA (Residential Agriculture), none of the residential lots encroach onto the RA district. The subdivision complies with Low Density Residential development standards including minimum 60 foot wide, 6,000 square foot lots. Staff supports the residential use because the homes comply with the RL district standards, including required setbacks and parking. Furthermore, there are no variances proposed as part of the project. The project is compatible with the surrounding residential uses that exist north of Los Patos. The proposed single family residential subdivision is surrounded by undeveloped property to the south, east, and west and by two-story, single family residences to the north(across Los Patos Avenue). The subject property abuts the city boundary to the south and west and the unincorporated portion of the mesa (Attachment No. 6). The proposed residences are designed to be compatible with the adjacent two story residences on Los Patos Avenue because they are no greater than two stories. The overall increased building height of up to 32 feet, 2 inches, is proposed to allow slightly higher ceiling heights on both floors and a steeper roof pitch without exceeding the maximum 35 foot height limit for the district. The proposed homes will not have any dormers, windows, or floor area above the second story plate height (ceiling), thus being compatible with the existing two story residences. The homes are designed as four(4) and five (5) bedroom units with three (3) car garages. One of the two house plans is designed with a motor court and garages in the rear(Attachment No. 3) providing for variety from the typical street scene of garage doors and wide paved driveways. Staff Report—4/13/99 11 (99SR14) I � The project will also be buffered from the existing homes with landscape easements along Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Street. The increased buffer widths will provide a softer street scene along both streets by allowing for greater amounts of street trees, turf and other landscaping material. Tract Layout/Development Plan The proposed tract is designed to take vehicular access from a southerly extension of Bolsa Chica Street, from the Bolsa Chica/Los Patos intersection (Attachment No. 2). All 16 residences will gain access from an interior street with homes designed backing to Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Street. No direct access to Los Patos Avenue will be provided with the exception of a 20 foot wide secondary emergency access at the west end of the tract as recommended by the Fire Department. The tract is designed with standard public street sections consisting of a 52 foot right of way including 40 feet from curb to curb, six (6) foot sidewalks and on-street parking on both sides of the street. Although designed as public streets, the streets will be held under private ownership and maintained by a homeowners association. The homeowners association will also be responsible to maintain all common landscape easements and walls. The Bolsa Chica Street extension is designed as a two (2) lane road with bicycle lanes, a raised landscape median, landscape parkways, and sidewalks. However, staff is recommending a full street section providing four(4) travel lanes adjacent to the tract and a transition down to two (2) lanes in the County, south of the project site. Until such time development occurs on the remainder of the mesa, staff recommends a reduced street section. The interim improvements would consist of full improvements (curb, gutter, sidewalk, etc.) on the west side of Bolsa Chica Street, a 24 foot wide street, and a temporary asphalt curb on the east side of the street. Striping would be designed to meet the existing striping on Bolsa Chica Street north of Los Patos Avenue. The subdivision is designed with increased landscape buffers along the perimeter, specifically along Los Patos Avenue and the Bolsa Chica Street extension. The Los Patos edge is designed with a 20 foot wide landscape easement which includes a meandering five (5) foot wide sidewalk. The landscape easement along the Bolsa Chica street extension will be 13 feet wide with a five (5) foot wide sidewalk behind a landscape parkway. The landscape parkways will provide for a softer street scene and a greater buffer for the existing residences to the north. The landscape improvements will be compatible with the existing improvements on the north side of Los Patos Avenue, in that the sidewalks are designed behind a landscape parkway and not adjacent to the curb. This design allows for street trees and turf adjacent to the street providing for a softer street scene. Product Tv_pe/Design Both floor plan layouts are unique from typical plans which have been submitted over the past few years. The garage design on the 3,419 square foot, 5 bedroom Plan One allows homeowners to utilize a motor court and an outdoor living area adjacent to the family room and kitchen (Attachment No. 3). The partially covered patio area is designed with an outdoor fireplace. In addition, the design of the single car garage will provide a street scene that will consist of a covered driveway separated by residential space and windows, with no garage doors, unlike typical front elevations. Staff Report—4/13/99 12 (99SR14) Plan Two is a 3,828 square foot, 5 bedroom unit that also has a unique quality with the design of separated garages. The two car garage is separated from the single car garage to reduce the amount of pavement in the front of the home. The design of the central entry and porch directs more attention to the unit rather than to garage doors. Staff supports the design of both plan unit types. Environmental Issues Grading/Hydrology As depicted on the tentative tract map, the tract will be graded to allow for drainage toward the proposed streets and ultimately toward the northwest portion of the tract and toward the Bolsa Chica Street access point. A precise grading plan,hydrology and hydraulic studies will be required to be submitted and approved by the City prior to grading the site. Based on the preliminary design and grades depicted on the tentative tract map, there will be no impacts to the adjacent properties. Biology Many of the comments received during the mitigated negative declaration comment period referenced concerns over impacts that the development would have on biological resources in the area, including impacts to various species of birds, rabbits, rodents, insects, trees and other vegetation. As a result, a City consultant conducted a biological resources evaluation of the project site on March 22, 1999. The evaluation concluded that the subject site does not support active resident or breeding populations of any native wildlife species, nor does it serve as an essential foraging, roosting, or sheltering site for same(see Attachment No. 8). In addition, the survey indicated that there was no evidence of western burrowing owls, and that the present and on-going levels of substrate and habitat disturbance renders the site unsuitable for their use. The existing eucalyptus (blue gum) trees were classified by the City's consultant as trees in a state of declining health. The trees did not appear to be functioning as a structural or biological resource for local birds of prey or other sensitive species. To further minimize impacts to the existing environmental resources, staff recommends a condition that prior to occupancy of any residential unit,residents be given written notice of the presence of sensitive environmental resource areas adjacent to the project, and that they be instructed to comply with all ordinances regarding confinement and leashing of pets. In summary, the consulting biologist indicated that development of the proposed subdivision would not directly result in impacts to agency-listed sensitive plants or animals, or to any threatened or endangered species. Furthermore, the development would not eliminate essential foraging, roosting, nesting, or seasonal use areas for any such species, nor interfere with migratory or non-seasonal movement patterns. Specific responses to comments received on the mitigated negative declaration are provided in Attachment No. 8. Staff Report—4/13/99 13 (99SR14) Archeology Bolsa Chica Mesa has been surveyed at least 10 times in the past from the 1920's to 1994. The numerous surveys did result in the recordation of an archaeological site in this locale designated ORA-86. The ORA-86 site is bisected by Bolsa Chica Street at its intersection with Los Patos and also exists north of the Goodell parcel (Attachment No. 8). A test excavation of ORA-86 was conducted in 1973, and was determined at that time to be significantly disturbed. No further investigation was recommended. The current condition of this archaeological site was summarized in the Bolsa Chica EIR 4551 certified by the County of Orange in 1996, as follows: ORA-86, located north of the Goodell property, was tested in 1973. Eight hand-excavated 1.5 by 1.5-m units and 10 backhoe trenches were employed in the test program (Cooley 1973). Part of the site was overlain by peat fill dirt up to a depth of 60 cm. Below this Nvas an orange clay which contained sparse amounts of shell. Dark midden with heavier shell content was found only along the bluff edge. Very few artifacts were recovered. Given the stratigraphy documented at ORA-83 (Whitney-Desautels 1986), it appears that most of the cultural deposits have been removed from ORA-86 and replaced by peat fill. The orange clay was found below the cultural deposits at ORA-83. Cooley concluded that the site had been "radically disturbed" and that the artifact yield "is so low, and so fragmented,that it is not possible to make any definitive statements concerning the age of the site or the lifeways of the people based on artifact typology." Because of the disturbance and the low artifact yield, Cooley's recommendation was that the site was not significant as it appeared to be destroyed and no further investigation would be required. Although the archeological site has been significantly disturbed, it is recommended that a condition requiring that all grading activities be monitored by a certified archeologist be imposed on the project. Wetlands Contrary to comments received on the mitigated negative declaration, no wetlands have been delineated on this area of the mesa. In 1989, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)issued its wetlands delineation for Bolsa Chica titled, "A Determination of the Geographical Extent of the Waters of the United States at Bolsa Chica, Orange County, California." Figure 4.8-1 of the EPA Jurisdictional Determination Map (Attachment Nos. 8-10), contained in the Bolsa Chica Environmental Impact Report #551 certified by the County confirms this. The map also incorporates field surveys conducted in 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1993, and 1994, and sources used to generate this exhibit are also noted on Figure 4.8- 1. A significant portion of the Bolsa Chica lowlands has been acquired for public use. The proposed development is not part of the lowlands. Trafc The proposed project will generate approximately 192 trips per day, based on a generation factor of approximately 12 trips per day per household. The estimated traffic generated from the proposed project is not considered significant according to the City's traffic standards. The majority- of the trips are expected to travel northbound on Bolsa Chica Street from the project site. Due to the restriction on traffic Staff Report-4/13/99 14 (99SR14) movements at the Warner Avenue/Los Patos intersection located approximately 2,400 feet west of the project site, staff does not anticipate a large increase in vehicle trips onto Los Patos Avenue. The applicant will be responsible to pay traffic impact fees based on the trips generated by this development. Pedestrian/Maintenance vehicle access The applicant proposes to dedicate land off-site to satisfy the parkland dedication requirement. At staff s request, the applicant has agreed to dedicate a 30 foot wide strip of land on the adjacent open space parcel to the east in order to provide pedestrian and maintenance vehicle access to the proposed park at the east end of the open space lot(see Attachment No. 4). The 30 foot wide easement would extend from the Bolsa Chica Street extension to the easterly boundary- of the open space lot which abuts the proposed park site (Parkside— Shea). The land dedication by the applicant would be in lieu of parkland fees. Building Height/Wall Height As noted earlier, the overall increased building height of up to 32 feet, 2 inches is proposed to allow slightly higher ceiling heights on both floors and a steeper roof pitch without exceeding the maximum 35 foot height limit for the district. The proposed homes will appear as two story structures with no openings above the second story ceiling. Furthermore, the homes will be architecturally enhanced with the increased roof pitch and vaulted ceilings. Staff supports the proposed building height based on the overall design and architecture of the units. The wall height of up to eight(8) feet along Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Street together with the increased landscape easement will provide an greater buffer than a standard six(6) foot high wall. In addition, the height will provide additional privacy along the more heavily traveled streets, while minimizing the potential for fence extension requests in the future. Staff supports the wall heights along the two streets. Staff Report—4/13/99 15 (99SR14) SUMMARY: Staff supports the proposed subdivision based on the following reasons: • The proposed single family residential subdivision is consistent with the Low Density Residential Land Use designation in the General Plan and zoning regulations. It is a traditional layout with minimum 6,000 square foot lots. • The single family residences will be compatible with the exiting residential uses across Los Patos Avenue and future land uses on the mesa(County of Orange). • With the recommended conditions, the development of the six acre site will not have a negative impact on the environment and the sensitive environmental resources in the Bolsa Chica. In addition, the implementation of mitigation measures will minimize impacts to coastal views. drainage, and biological resources in the area.

Reasons for Initiating the Application The purpose of this Coastal Development Permit (CDP)Application is to request a CDP and Conditional Use Permit(CUP) for the subdivision of 5.7 acres at the southwest corner of Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Street, within the Coastal Zone of the City of Huntington Beach, and the development of 16 single-family homes. b. Area Description The project is on the northeast comer of Warner Mesa, within the City of Huntington Beach boundaries. The majority of the site is zoned RL - Low Density Residential,with the southeast corner zoned RA - Residential Agriculture. A Local Coastal Plan is being processed concurrently through the County of Orange for the remainder of Warner Mesa within the Coastal Zone and outside of the City of Huntington Beach(Bolsa Chica Planned Community). C. Description of Project The subdivision will consist of 16 single-family residential lots, lettered lots reserved for future residential development associated with the Bolsa Chica Planned Community (Lots B, C, D and E), and a landscape lots (Lot A). The development will consist of 16 single-family homes ranging from 3,475 square feet to 3,736 square feet. The"Coastal' architectural style of the homes will feature wood siding and trim, with brick and stucco accents,wood shutters, decks and railings, and exposed beams. Flat concrete roof tiles will be used. Two plans and elevations,with options for reversing, are proposed for a varied streetscape. Six-foot-high wood fences will separate the units on either side, with a masonry community wall along Los Patos Avenue and the extension of Bolsa Chica Street. The proposed lot configuration, streets, infrastructure, and residential buildings meet all City standards for the underlying zone. The Bolsa Chica Street extension will conform to Collector Road standards, with the addition of a landscaped median. "A" Street is proposed to extend to the west and south to access future residential lots; a 20' emergency access easement will be provided to Los Patos Avenue in the interim. A 20' landscape setback will be provided along Los Patos Avenue, including a pedestrian trail. CITY-CDP!Sandover cdp Page I of 2 June 29,1998 A7ACHMENT NO.

OTHER AGENCIES WHOSE APPROVAL IS REQUIRED (AND PERMITS NEEDED): None ATTACHIMENT NO. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a"Potentially Significant Impact"or is "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated,"as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. ❑ Land Use & Planning ❑ Transportation/Circulation ❑ Public Services ❑ Population & Housing ❑ Biological Resources ❑ Utilities & Service Systems ❑ Geological Problems ❑ Energy& Mineral Resources El Aesthetics ❑ Water ❑ Hazards ❑ Cultural Resources ❑ Air Quality ❑ Noise ❑ Recreation ❑ Mandatory Findings of Significance DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NIITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONTMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY a significant effect(s)on the environment, but at least one effect(1)has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2)has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier ❑ analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a"potentially significant impact"or is "potentially significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL LWACT REPORT is requi d, but it must analyze only the effect that remain to be addressed. January 15, 1999 Sign tur Date WA E CARVALHO ASSOCIATE PLANNER Printed Name Title Environmental Checklist 2 EA 98-11 A77ACHfAENT NO. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except"No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A"No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to the project. A"No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards. 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved. Answers should address off-site as well as on-site,cumulative as well as project-level,indirect as well as direct,and construction as well as operational impacts. 3. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate,if an effect is significant or potentially significant,or if the lead agency lacks information to make a finding of insignificance. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made,preparation of an Environmental Impact Report is warranted. 4. Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from"Potentially Significant Impact"to a"Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures,and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level(mitigation measures from Section XVII,"Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5. Earlier analysis may be used where,pursuant to the tiering,program EIR,or other CEQA process,an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section XVII at the end of the checklist. 6. References to information sources for potential impacts(e.g.,general plans,zoning ordinances)have been incorporate into the checklist. A source list has been provided in Section XVII. Other sources used or individuals contacted have been cited in the respective discussions. 7. The following checklist has been formatted after Appendix I of Chapter 3,Title 14,California Code of Regulations,but has been augmented to reflect the City of Huntington Beach's requirements. SAMPLE QUESTION.• Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES(and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact Would the proposal result in or expose people to potential impacts involving: Landslides or Mudflows? (Sources: 1, 6) El 0 Discussion: The attached source list explains that 1 is the Huntington Beach General Plan and 6 is a topographical map of the area which show that the area is located in a flat area. (Note: This response probably would not require further explanation).

LANTD USE AND PLANNING. Would the Proposal: a) Conflict with general plan designation or zoning? El El (Sources: 3,4) b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or policies El El 0 adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project? (Sources: 3) c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the vicinity? a (Sources: I) El El El d) Affect agricultural resources or operations(e.g.,impacts to 19 soils or farmlands,or impacts from incompatible uses)? (Sources: 3) e) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established El El El community(including a low-income or minority community)? (Sources: 1,2,3) Discussion: The project site is currently vacant and is surrounded by single family residences to the north,and vacant property to the south,east and west. The area located directly east of the subject property is designated as Open Space in the Huntington Beach General Plan. The area south and west of the project site is designated for residential development and is located in the County of Orange. The subject property is designated for Low Density Residential development under the Huntington Beach General Plan(see Attachment No.4). The property contains two zoning designations: Residential Low Density(RL)and Residential Agriculture(RA)(see Attachment No.5). All residential lots will be located on property designated as Low Density Residential. The density of the proposed project is 4.2 units per net acre;the zoning designation allows up to 7 units per net acre. The proposed project is designed to be compatible with other single family residences in the area in terms of lot size and floor area. All lots will comply with minimum 6,000 square foot requirement. No exceptions to development standards are being requested on the project site as part of this request. The proposed 17 unit subdivision will comply with the City's Zoning and Land Use Element of the General Plan. The proposed project is designed to be incorporated into the proposed Bolsa Chica planned community pending final action by the California Coastal Commission. An overall conceptual site plan is attached for reference(Attachment No. 3). Although the master plan is pending final approval,the proposed project is designed to comply with City standards,and is not contingent on the development of the master plan(in County of Orange). The project will not conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. II. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the proposal: a) Cumulative exceed official regional or local population projections? (Sources: 3) b) Induce substantial growth in an area either directly or 11 El 9 El indirectly(e.g.,through projects in an undeveloped area or Environmental Checklist 4 EA 98-11 ATTACHMENT NO. _ 1 ntially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES(and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact extension of major infrastructure)? (Sources: 3) c) Displace existing housing,especially affordable housing? (Sources: 3) El El 19 Discussion: The project will introduce 17 new homes into the area and approximately 45 occupants. The population increase resulting from the project is consistent with the growth projections in the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and regional projections and represents less than 0.1 percent of the city's current population. The subject site is currently vacant and there will be no housing displaced as part of this project. It is a City policy to recommend that 10 percent of the units of a development project be provided and available as affordable housing. This is the equivalent of two units for the proposed project. An affordable housing plan outlining the details will be recommended as a condition of approval. No significant adverse population impacts resulting from the development are anticipated. III.GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS. Would the proposal result in or expose people to potential impacts involving: a) Fault rupture?(Sources: 3,7) El ❑X El b) Seismic ground shaking?(Sources: 3,7) El 0 c) Seismic ground failure, including liquefaction? (Sources: 3,7, 11) El FX El d) Seiche,tsunami,or volcanic hazard? (Sources: 3, 11) El 11 Z El e) Landslides or Mudflows?

(Sources: 7,9) n El h) Expansive soils? (Sources: 3,7, 11) ❑X El i) Unique geologic or physical features? (Sources: 3,7, 11) Discussion: The project will require 100%of the site to be graded. The volume of cutting will be approximately 5,200 cubic yards;the fill will be approximately 6,000 cubic yards. The import of approximately 800 cubic yards of soil will be via an approved truck hauling route. The maximum fill on the site will be approximately three (3)feet in order to properly drain the site. Displacement,compaction,and overcovering of soil associated with the construction of the infrastructure improvements and single family units is considered negligible. The project will be subject to standard conditions of approval which require submittal of hydrology and hydraulic studies to determine that the project will not adversely impact the adjacent properties,or exceed the capacity of surrounding drainage systems. Environmental Checklist 5 EA 98-11 ATTACHMENT NO. ntially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES(and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact Site preparation may result in short term wind and water erosion impacts;however,the impacts from proposed grading on the project site are not considered significant and will be further reduced by standard conditions of approval requirements. The project will be subject to standard conditions of approval requiring implementation of dust control measures and submittal of an erosion control plan(see Attachment No. 6). The project site is not located within the Alquist-Priolo Special Hazards Zone or any other known geologic hazard areas. However,in the event of an earthquake in the Huntington Beach area,the site may be subject to ground shaking. Structures built in California are required to comply with standards set forth in the Uniform Building Code to minimize the structural risks from groundshaking. Based upon the City's General Plan and Geotechnical Inputs Study(prepared by Leighton-Yen& Associates, 1974)the project site is located in an area of low to moderate clay content which can be indicative of expansive soils. However,this is common in the City and impacts can be addressed through compliance with applicable soils,grading and structural foundation requirements,codes and ordinances,such that any potential geologic impacts will be reduced to a level of insignificance. (See Standard Condition No. 1 on Attachment No.6 requiring compliance with all local and State codes). IV.WATER. Would the proposal result in: a) Changes in absorption rates,drainage patterns, or the rate and El El amount of surface runoff? (Sources: 2) b) Exposure of people or property to water related hazards such as flooding? (Sources: 12) c) Discharge into surface waters or other alteration of surface 0 water quality(e.g.,temperature,dissolved oxygen or turbidity)? (Sources: 1,3) d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any water body? El El El (Sources: 1,3) e) Changes in currents,or the course or direction of water 0 movement? (Sources: 1,3) f) Change in the quantity of ground waters,either through direct 0 additions or withdrawals,or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations or through substantial loss of groundwater recharge capability? (Sources: 3) g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? (Sources: 3) h) Impacts to groundwater quality? (Sources: 3) El F-1 i) Substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater otherwise available for public water supplies? (Sources: 3) Discussion: Buildout of the property under the proposed conceptual plan will increase the amount of impervious surfaces (concrete, asphalt,etc.). New impervious surfaces as well as construction related activities that require grading will increase Environmental Checklist 6 EA 98-11 ATTACK""ENT NO. I itially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES(and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact the amount of storm water runoff. The project will be subject to standard conditions of approval requiring submittal of grading plans and hydrology and hydraulic studies for review and approval by the Public Works Department to determine that the runoff generated by the proposed project will not adversely impact existing drainage systems and adjacent properties.(see Standard Condition No. 5 on Attachment No.6). Curb and gutter will be constructed to tie into the City's existing storm drain system in Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Street. The project will be designed to drain entirely into the City's storm drain system and not onto the vacant Bolsa Chica mesa area. The project site is located within Flood Insurance Rate Map(FIRM)Zone X,which is not subject to Federal Flood Development requirements. The project will be subject to standard conditions of approval requiring Public Works Department review and approval of grading plans,soils reports,and hydrology studies prior to any activity on the site(see Standard Condition Nos.2,4,and 5 on Attachment No.6). The project will require the installation of new on-site water lines. Because the proposed 17 unit project complies with the Low Density Residential land use designation in the General Plan for the site,the estimated water demand of approximately 6358 gallons per day for the proposed project can be accommodated by the City's water service capacity and does not represent a significant demand. The project will be subject to standard conditions of approval requiring implementation of Title 24 conservation measures such as low flow fixtures and use of drought tolerant plant species and drip irrigation. (See Condition No.6 of Attachment No.6). The site does not drain directly into any natural body of water. No significant adverse impacts to the existing water supply are anticipated. V. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal: a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or a projected air quality violation? (Sources: 13) El b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? (Sources: 1) Z El c) Alter air movement,moisture,or temperature? (Sources: 2) ❑ 0 d) Create objectionable odors? (Sources: 2) 1:1 El El 19 Discussion: Short-term: The construction of the 17 unit residential project will result in short term increases in dust and construction equipment emissions. Emissions are expected from gasoline and diesel powered grading and paving equipment and fugitive dust generation associated with earth moving activities. Due to the size and scope of the grading and construction(approximately 30 days),the dust and construction emissions are not anticipated to be significant(based on AQMD thresholds)and can be further reduced with implementation of standard conditions of approval(see Condition No.7 on Attachment No.6). No significant adverse impacts are anticipated. Lone-term: Using data from the 1993 CEQA Air Quality Handbook produced by the South Coast Air Quality Management District(AQMD),the estimated 170 vehicle trips generated by the proposed project are not expected to produce emissions that will significantly impact air quality. Because the scale of the project is 90 percent below the threshold criteria established by the AQNID for potentially significant impacts, its contribution is minor in nature. No significant air quality impacts to the area are anticipated. Environmental Checklist 7 EA 98-11 ATTTAC'HMFNT N0. I ntially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES(and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact VI.TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would the proposal result in: a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? (Sources: 2, 10, 15) 1:1 El El b) Hazards to safety from design features(e.g.,sharp curves or El Z dangerous intersections)or incompatible uses(e.g.,farm equipment)? (Sources: 2) c) Inadequate emergency access or inadequate access to nearby El El El Z uses? (Sources: 1,2,3) d) Insufficient parking capacity on-site or off-site? (Sources: 2) El El El 19 e) Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists? (Sources: 2) 0 f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting alternative El El transportation(e.g.,bus turnouts,bicycle racks)? (Sources: 2,3) g) Rail,waterborne or air traffic impacts? (Sources: 1) El El El 0 Discussion: The 17 units are projected.to result in approximately 170 average vehicle trips per day at completion. Access to the project will be via Bolsa Chica Street south of Los Patos Avenue(see Attachment No. 1). All streets within the proposed tract are designed to be public,complying with public street standards. A secondary access is also proposed on the west end of the project site from Los Patos Avenue for emergency vehicles only. Existing roadway segments in the area are currently operating at a level of service(LOS)of D or better(Bolsa Chica Street from Warner Avenue to Heil Avenue-LOS A;Warner Avenue from Algonquin Street to Bolsa Chica Street—D;Warner Avenue from Bolsa Chica Street Graham Street-LOS A). The signalized intersection at Bolsa Chica Street and Warner Avenue also has a LOS D during PM peak hours. Traffic generation associated with the project constitutes less than one percent of the existing traffic levels in the vicinity and is projected to have a negligible impact to levels of service in the area. The Bolsa Chica Street extension south is designed at a full public street section with four lanes and a median. The extension is designed to allow for future access to the remainder parcel and possible linkage to the development in the unincorporated area of the mesa. Parking for the subdivision will be provided independently on each lot,with three car garages,and open parking spaces on the driveway and on the public streets. With implementation of standard conditions of approval, including conformance of the proposed public streets to City standards,review and approval of street improvement plans,and payment of traffic impact fees,no significant traffic impacts are anticipated. Construction traffic during the project's development stage may result in short-term interruptions to traffic circulation, including pedestrian and bicycle flow in the area. Based on the scope of the project construction,the traffic is not considered to be significant. However, any impact may be further reduced through implementation of standard conditions of approval requiring Department of Public Works approval of a construction vehicle control plan(See Standard Condition No.3 on Attachment No. 6).

Would the proposal result in impacts to: a) Endangered,threatened or rare species or their habitats (including but not limited to:plants,fish, insects,animals,and birds)? (Sources: 3) b) Locally designated species(e.g.,heritage trees)? (Sources: 3, El 16) c) Locally designated natural communities(e.g.,oak forest, a coastal habitat,etc.)? (Sources: 3, 16) d) Wetland habitat(e.g.,marsh,riparian and vernal pool)? 1:1 El El (gources: 3) e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? (Sources: 3) El El El z Discussion: The proposed project site does not support any unique or endangered plant or animal species. Ten blue gum (eucalyptus globulus)trees are located along the east side of the asphalt lane extending south from Bolsa Chica Street. Eight of the 10 are located within the tract boundary. A consulting arborist completed an initial analysis which noted that of the 10 trees,3 were dead, 6 were in terminal decline,and 1 in poor to extremely poor condition. All of the trees had undergone deterioration and death of the upper crown areas. Regardless of whether the project is constructed,the arborist recommends removal of the trees in order to avoid the infestation of the Eucalyptus longhorn beetle which has devastated eucalyptus stands over the last decade. The trees are proposed to be removed as part of the project to allow for street and landscape improvements. The project will be subject to standard conditions of approval requiring submittal and approval of a landscape plan by the Department of Public Works and Planning,and the replacement of all existing mature trees at a 2:1 ratio. The project will also be required to comply with the City standard for landscaping including the provision for 40%of the front yard setback to be landscaped and a minimum of one tree in the front yard of each lot. No impact to plant life is anticipated. The subject site is within City limits on the northern border of the Bolsa Chica Mesa and is separated from the low lands and wetland areas by approximately 600 feet(includes the Bolsa Chica planned community proposed in the County). The project will not result in any loss to endangered or sensitive animal or bird species. In addition,no impact to the wetland habitat or wildlife located on the lowlands(in the County's jurisdiction)is anticipated. VIII.ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal: a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation plans? (Sources: El El El 0 3) b) Use non-renewable resource in a wasteful and inefficient El F1 El manner? (Sources: 3) c) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource El El El 0 that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State? (Sources: 3) Environmental Checklist 9 EA 98-11 �TTACI�MENT NO. �.. I ntially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES(and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact Discussion: Construction of the 17 unit subdivision will increase natural resource and energy use on site. However,the proposed residential use is consistent with the Low Density Residential designation in the General Plan and buildout anticipated under the General Plan. In addition,the project will be subject to standard conditions of approval,which require implementation of Title 24 conservation measures for construction. The new residences are not anticipated to significantly deplete any non-renewable resource or require the development of new energy sources. No significant impacts to natural resources are anticipated. IX.HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve: a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of hazardous substances(including,but not limited to: oil,pesticides, chemicals or radiation)? (Sources: 2,3) b) Possible interference with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? (Sources: 2,3) c) The creation of any health hazard or potential hazards? 0 (Sources: 2) d) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable brush,grass,or ❑ ❑ trees? (Sources: 2,3) Discussion: The proposed subdivision and construction of the 17 single family residences will not involve the use of any hazardous materials and will not result in any impediments to emergency response or evacuation plans. The project site is located within the recommended five(5)minute response area from the Warner Fire Station located near Pacific Coast Highway. With implementation of standard conditions of approval,no significant impacts resulting from hazardous materials are anticipated. X. NOISE. Would the proposal result in: a) Increases in existing noise levels? (Sources: 2,3,5,6) El b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? (Sources: 1,2,5, 6) El Discussion: The project will generate short-term noise impacts during construction with the use of heavy construction equipment. All construction will be required to comply with Chapter 8.40 Noise of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code, and through the implementation and compliance of standard conditions of approval,no significant noise impacts during construction are anticipated. Long-term noise impacts may occur as a result of the increase in trip ends and associated vehicular noise generated by the new tract. The vacant site is surrounded by residential uses to the north,and vacant parcels to the east,west and south. Six of the proposed homes will back onto Los Patos Avenue with four units backing onto the Bolsa Chica Street extension. The project will be required to comply with State requirements pertaining to noise attenuation such that interior noise levels do not exceed 45dB in any habitable room. This may be achieved by use of double-paned windows,air conditioning systems,or other methods or a combination thereof. No significant long-term noise impacts resulting from the new tract are anticipated. Environmental Checklist 10 EA 98-11 ATTACHMENT NO. _ . !

Would the proposal have an effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered government services in any of the following areas: a) Fire protection? (Sources: Huntington Beach Fire Dept.) El b) Police Protection? (Sources: Huntington Beach Police Dept.) El M IK El c) SchoWs? (Sources: 3) El EJ El d) Maintenance of public facilities, including roads? (Sources: City of Huntington Beach) El El e) Other governmental services? (Sources: City of Huntington ED Beach) Discussion: The proposed project has initially been reviewed by the various City Departments,including Public Works,Fire, Police and Planning,for compliance with all applicable City codes. With implementation of standard conditions of approval, and compliance with City specifications,no significant adverse impacts to public services are anticipated. The site is located in the Ocean View School District and the Huntington Beach Union High School District. The project will generate approximately 10 students, according to student generation rates for local school districts. In itself,the project will not require construction of school facilities but on a cumulative basis,will contribute to overcrowding and the need for additional facilities. The developer will be required to pay State-mandated school impact fees to defray capital costs for these facilities. XII.UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the proposal result in a need for new systems or supplies,or substantial alterations to the following utilities: a) Power or natural gas? (Sources: 3) El El z b) Communication systems? (Sources: 3) El El z El c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution facilities? M El (Sources: 3) d) Sewer or septic tanks? (Sources: 3) 1:1 El M 11 e) Storm water drainage?

I itiallti Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Nfirigation Significant ISSUES(and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact Discussion: The project will require incremental extensions of public services and utilities to the site,which will be provided by the respective governmental agencies and utility companies. All utility connections to the new residences will be in accordance with all applicable Uniform Codes,City ordinances,Public Works standards, and Rater Division criteria. Solid waste will be collected by the Rainbow Disposal Company. With the implementation of standard conditions of approval,no adverse impacts to the City's utilities or services are anticipated. XIII.AESTHETICS. Would the proposal: a) Affect a scenic vista or scenic highway? (Sources: 1,2,3) El b) Have a demonstrable negative aesthetic effect? (Sources; 1,2) El Z El c) Create light or glare? (Sources: 2) Discussion: The proposed two story homes are consistent with the RL zoning and will be compatible %kith the surrounding residential development. The tract is designed to provide a 25 foot wide perimeter landscape easement along Los Patos Avenue and a 13 foot wide easement along Bolsa Chica Street to soften the street scene. The private lots will be setback behind this easement which will minimize impacts to the existing residents across Los Patos Avenue. Individual lots will also be landscaped pursuant to City standards. Areas adjacent to the project site are developed with residential uses of similar height and size. The site is not located along any scenic highway. The views from the existing residences will be altered with the construction of the new homes and because a portion of the site will require 2-3 feet of fill to allow the tract to drain properly. However,with implementation of the recommended mitigation(see Attachment No.7),impacts to existing views will be minimized. The project will introduce some new light sources on the project site including street lighting and residential lighting. Although the project will result in an increase in light in the area,the incremental increase in ambient lighting in the area is considered negligible. The project will be subject to standard conditions of approval which require that lighting be directed to prevent spillage onto adjacent properties. No adverse aesthetic impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: Grading activities shall be limited to insure that only the minimum amounts of cut and fill are allowed in order to minimize the impacts to views from Los Patos Avenue,while providing for adequate drainage of the site. Wherever possible,the grade of the property shall be kept at its present height. Public Works and Planning Departments shall review all grading plans to comply with this requirement. XIV.CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal: a) Disturb paleontological resources? (Sources: 9, 10) ❑ ❑ El b) Disturb archaeological resources? (Sources: 9, 10) ❑ 11 El c) Affect historical resources? (Sources: 8, 10) El El El 0 d) Have the potential to cause a physical change which would M affect unique ethnic cultural values?

(Sources: 3) Discussion: The project site is not located within any of the City's historic districts. However,the site is located in the vicinity of an archaeological site identified as ORA-86. Based on the Iocation of ORA-86 and research conducted by T.G. Cooley(1973),which is referenced in the Revised Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Bolsa Chica Project-Local Coastal Program(Aug. 1994),"the site [ORA-861 had been`radically disturbed' and the artifact yield`is so low,and so fragmented,that it is not possible to make any definitive statements concerning the age of the site or the lifeways of the people based on artifact typology.' Based on the disturbance and the low artifact yield,the researcher's recommendation was that the site was not significant as it appeared to be destroyed and no further investigation would be required." With implementation]of suggested conditions of approval requiring the monitoring of all grading activities by a certified archeologist,no adverse impacts to cultural or archeaological resources are anticipated. XV.RECREATION. Would the proposal: a) Increase the demand for neighborhood or regional parks or M other recreational facilities? (Sources: 1,2) El El b) Affect existing recreational opportunities? (Sources: 1) El El El 9 Discussion: The project will not result in the loss of existing recreational facilities. The project will be subject to either land dedication or payment of park and recreation fees to contribute toward the project's share of park facilities in the city which will offset the project's cumulative recreational impacts. With implementation of the standard conditions of approval,no impacts to recreational opportunities are anticipated. XVI.MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels,threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community,reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of Califomia history or prehistory? (Sources: 1,2,3,6, 8, 16) Discussion: The project is not located in the areas of any wildlife or biological resource areas and will therefore not substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels,threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community,or reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal. No significant adverse impacts are anticipated. Environmental Checklist 13 EA 98-11 ATTACH EN) NO �i- . F` ltially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES(and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact b) Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term,to El 0 the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals? (Sources: 3) Discussion: The proposed project is consistent with the Low Density Residential Land Use designation in the Huntington Beach General Plan. It does not represent a significant negative impact to the environment or goals of the City. c) Does Ae project have impacts that are individually limited, El El but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means thai the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects,the effects of other current projects,and the effects of probable future projects.) (Sources: 3,6, 10) Discussion: The project is designed to be incorporated into the Bolsa Chica master plan community located in the jurisdiction of the County of Orange. The master plan is currently pending California Coastal Commission review and approval. The potential impacts resulting from the proposed 17 unit tract is not considered to be significant as discussed under items I-XV above. All environmental impacts resulting from the proposed Bolsa Chica master plan have been addressed in the Environmental Impact Report for the Bolsa Chica Local Coastal Program. d) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause El El n El substantial adverse effects on human beings,either directly or indirectly?

RESPONSE TO COMMENTS ON SANDOVER PROJECT INTRODUCTION/CEQA COMPLIANCE The City prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Sandover project in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Mitigated Negative Declaration addressed the potential impacts associated with development of the six- (6) acre project-site located in the City. The project site is located on the Bolsa Chica Mesa, the major portion of which (approximately 234 acres) is located under the County's jurisdiction and has been approved for development. The decision to prepare a Mitigated Negative Declaration was based upon an Initial Study which assessed all potential impacts of the project. As part of its Initial Study assessment, the City used earlier analyses to support its analysis of the project's environmental effects as permitted by CEQA. (See 14 Cal. Code of Reg. ("CEQA Guidelines") § 15063(c)(3)(D).) Section XVII of the Initial Study identified all of the documents and previous studies that were used by the City in conducting its environmental analysis, and made these documents and previous studies available for public review. One of the documents relied upon by the City was the Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report #551, Bolsa Chica Project Local Coastal Program ("Bolsa Chica EIR #551"), prepared by the County of Orange in connection with its approval of the Bolsa Chica project. The Bolsa Chica EIR #551 was certified by the County in June, 1996, and provided a comprehensive analysis of the environmental impacts of the Bolsa Chica project that was before the County. The Bolsa Chica EIR #551 was a program EIR as defined by CEQA Guidelines § 15168. As a program EIR, the Bolsa Chica EIR #551 can be used in conjunction with subsequent EIRs and negative declarations to simplify the environmental document preparation process for later activities, including providing the basis in an initial study for determining whether the later activity may have any significant effects. (CEQA Guidelines § 15168(d)(1).) As a result of the previous analysis, the City determined after preparation of the Initial Study that a mitigated negative declaration was the appropriate document to analyze the potential effects of the Sandover project. The Bolsa Chica EIR #551 also included a number of technical studies that were incorporated by reference. These studies addressed issues such as biology, cultural resources, and geotechnical conditions. A number of comments on the mitigated negative declaration have raised questions regarding the impacts of the proposed project on biological resources and cultural resources. In responding to these comments, the City has relied upon information in the Bolsa Chica EIR#551 and the incorporated technical studies. Although the County action for which the Bolsa Chica EIR #551 was prepared only affected that portion of the Bolsa Chica property within the jurisdiction of the County of Orange, the scope of many of the technical studies incorporated into the Bolsa Chica EIR #551 covered the entire Bolsa Chica Mesa area, including the 6 acre property under City jurisdiction. Therefore, the City has determined that it can rely upon the information and analysis in the Bolsa Chica EIR #551 and its technical studies to address some of the comments received on this mitigated negative declaration. P\1999\9N12101\RTCDOCUN ENT DOC -1- ATTACHMENT NO. _ The following responses address issues, which raise significant environmental concerns in accordance with Section 15088 of the CEQA Guidelines. C1.1 A condition of the project has been added to the Initial Study. This condition reads, "Prior to issuance of grading permits, the proposed project shall identify a Class II Bikeway along the portion of Bolsa Chica Street fronting the proposed project. This bikeway shall be in accordance with that identified in the Commuter Bikeways Strategic Plan (CBSP), administered by Orange County Transportation Authority." C1.2 The proposed project will not preclude the implementation of a Class I bikeway around the northerly perimeter of the Bolsa Chica open space area, since it is several hundred feet north of this open space area. C1.3 The proposed project will not preclude any bikeway or pedestrian trail locations. The only trail located within the project area is discussed in C1.1 above. C1.4 The portion of the Bolsa Chica area referred to in this comment is within the unincorporated area and is not under the jurisdiction of the City of Huntington Beach. The project applicant has been and will continue to coordinate with Shea Homes. C1.5 The City's standard condition that requires a Water Quality Management Plan states, "In accordance with NPDES requirements, a "Water Quality Management Plan" shall be prepared by a Civil or Environmental Engineer, prior to issuance of building permits. The plan shall reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practical using management practices, control techniques and systems, design and engineering methods, and such other provisions which are appropriate." This condition was inadvertently left off of Attachment No. 6 of the Initial Study, Standard Conditions of Approval. It has now been added to the list of conditions for the proposed project to ensure that impacts related to discharge into surface waters or other alteration of surface water quality do not occur. I1.1 The six- (6) acre Sandover project site is located within the jurisdiction of the City of Huntington Beach, which is the lead agency for this project. The City's certified Local Coastal Program (LCP) includes the project site. The judicial review of the County's LCP does not affect the validity of the City's LCP, nor its ability to permit development within its jurisdiction. P\1999\9N 1210 RRTCDOCUMENT DOC -2- ATTACHMENT NO. �_ r Although the Sandover project site is physically located on the Bolsa Chica Mesa, the major portion of which (approximately 234 acres) is located in the jurisdiction of the County of Orange, the City's consideration of this proposal is not piecemealed. Piecemealing occurs when, in an attempt to minimize environmental impacts or minimize environmental review, the consideration of a project and its impacts are segmented and considered separately. Neither the environmental review, nor the planning of the Bolsa Chica Mesa development is being piecemealed. The City conducted a full environmental review for the Sandover project, which considered all impacts of the proposed development. The City also took into consideration the proposed development of the remainder of the Mesa and the environmental issues arising from that development, and cited the County's EIR as one of the documents it utilized in preparing its own environmental analysis. As to the planning issue, the Bolsa Chica Mesa is located within two jurisdictions with separate planning and zoning regulations. Consequently, the landowner must submit separate development applications to the City and County for the area within their respective jurisdictions. No matter what changes may occur on the County portion (if any), the City can still proceed to consider development proposals for areas within its jurisdiction that are consistent with the City's General Plan and zoning regulations. I1.2 To date, the only confirmed occurrences of the Pacific pocket mouse have been in loose sandy substrata in a coastal sage scrub community of Dana Point Headlands. An extensive small mammal trapping program was conducted on the Bolsa Chica Mesa, and using standard methods suitable to capture the pocket mouse, found no evidence of its presence (Mitech, 1989). Additionally, the Bolsa Chica Mesa does not have the soil substrata condition required for the Pacific pocket mouse. I1.3 Prior studies and surveys indicate that the burrowing owl historically nested at Bolsa Chica, but now is rarely observed. One individual was observed on the Huntington Mesa in the early 1990's. This species is not formally listed by CDFG or USFWS but is considered a "species of concern" by the CDFG. Frank Hovore, principal biologist of Frank Hovore & Associates (FHA) inspected the 6-acre site on March 22, 1999 to survey for nesting burrowing owls, and a report was prepared (refer to Attachment A). The site was "scouted" visually with binoculars (10x42) from perimeter points, and a grid of transects was walked over the entire project site to provide full coverage per the accepted protocols for burrowing owl surveys. The entire site was searched visually for the western burrowing owl prior to entering, and all rodent burrows on the property were carefully inspected for this species' sign (feathers, tracks, pellets, food remnants, fecal staining, etc.), but no evidence of their presence was found. According to the FHA report, the burrowing owl is vulnerable to predation by feral pets and disturbance by humans, and the high levels of such activity on the site, combined with the routine substrate alteration practices presently serve to render the site unsuitable for burrowing owl breeding or resident use. Therefore, no impacts to burrowing owls as a result of the proposed project are anticipated. P\1999\9NI2101\RTCDOCUWNT DOC -3- ATTACHMENT NO. __ I1.4 As indicated in the June 3, 1982 document entitled "Environmental Sensitive Areas at Bolsa Chica" prepared by the Department of Fish and Game, Figure 1 and Table 7 describe and depict the 20.5-acre eucalyptus grove ESHA. The 6-acre Sandover site is not contained Nvithin the eucalyptus grove ESHA as identified by the Department of Fish and Game. I1.5 The impact of development on raptors as it pertains to Bolsa Chica was considered I the Bolsa Chica EIR #551. According to the Bolsa Chica EIR #551, Bolsa Chica is not recognized by the USFWS as critical habitat for the peregrine falcon. Peregrine falcons do not necessarily isolate themselves from human activity. As stated in the Bolsa Chica EIR#551, Bloom (1993, personal communication) reported that five pairs of peregrine falcons are nesting on buildings in the Long Beach area and one pair is nesting on a building in the Fashion Island area of Newport Beach. As further stated in the Bolsa Chica EIR #551, the peregrine falcon is a generalist that feeds on a large variety of bird species, including shorebirds and waterfowl. Because this species captures its prey in the air, almost any bird of the appropriate size and within sight of the peregrine can become its prey. The increase in appropriate habitat for shorebirds and w-aterflow at Bolsa Chica will actually increase this species prey base. As stated in the Bolsa Chica EIR #551, five species of raptors (American kestrel, red-tailed hawk, black-shouldered kite, red-shouldered hawk, and barn owl) use the Bolsa Chica Mesa as foraging habitat and nesting sites, and, therefore, development may impact these species. However, because the 16,000-acre Laguna Coast Wilderness Park and large portions of the Irvine Ranch are presently utilized by these species, it is believed that they will alternatively use these areas as nesting and/or foraging sites. In addition to these areas, raptors also could utilize the areas of Newport Back Bay, Anaheim Bay, and the areas of Newport Coast. Due to the foraging range of raptors and the fact that none of these species are state or federally listed sensitive species, the loss of this 6-acre site is not considered significant. Furthermore, Frank Hovore, principal biologist of Frank Hovore & Associates (FHA) inspected the 6-acre site on March 22, 1999 to determine the presence/absence or viable potential for nesting birds, particularly raptors, and a report was prepared (refer to Attachment A). The site was "scouted" visually with binoculars (IN42) from perimeter points, and a grid of transects was walked over the entire project site to provide full coverage. All gum trees within the project site were carefully inspected for the presence of nests. According to the report prepared by FHA, red-tailed hawks are resident locally, and may nest within the stand of gum trees on the Shea Homes site, below the mesa margin, but they would hunt opportunistically over the entire mesa system, wherever they encounter prev species. Other birds of prey locally also would forage widely over the uplands and Bolsa Chica system, and would be somewhat less likely to use the 6-acre site simply because it is more frequently cleared, is adjacent to residences, and has higher levels of human disturbance. During the morning of Frank Hovore's survey, no fewer than 17 people, 8 dogs and 1 cat «ere present for varying P\1999\9N 12101\RTCDOCLJWNT DOC -4- ATTACH'NI`N i ivy. �.- lengths of time on the 6-acre project site, with perhaps as many as 40 vehicles driving along Bolsa Chica Street. According to the FHA report, although some birds of prey and a few species of songbirds occasionally utilize gum trees for perching, roosting and nesting, such use is infrequent and non- essential, at least relative to the use of native tree species, and as a rule the presence of the gum trees degrades natural habitat values. Tall trees such as these are not natural features of southern California coastal bluff or salt marsh ecosystems, and the only such trees historically present near marshes prior to human habitation of the areas were riparian species associated with freshwater inflow channels. The presence of gum trees adjacent to coastal uplands and marsh systems provides birds of prey and crows with hunting perches and nest sites, contributing to unnaturally-intense levels of predation and harassment of ground-nesting birds and wetlands wildlife. According to the FHA report, the proximity of the gum trees along the margin of the 6- acre parcel, combined with their generally decadent condition, appears to render them unsuitable as nesting sites, even for crows, and no evidence was found to indicate that any native bird species presently are nesting in them. According to FHA, the gum trees located on the project site are in a state of declining health and are infested with cambrium-girdling inspects; many have dead crowns or have died completely. Because of their diminished stature and collapsing structure, they no longer offer preferred nest sites for native birds of prey or songbirds. Therefore, no impacts to raptors as a result of the proposed project are anticipated. I1.6 Feral and domestic animals do pose a threat to sensitive birds; however, the City could not quantify the increase, if any, of these animals within the proposed residential area. Nonetheless, the potential danger is serious and should be treated as such. Therefore, information on the detrimental effects of domestic cats on common and sensitive species of birds will be supplied to each original homeowner who purchases a home. This information will be approved by the City before issuance of occupancy permits for residential units. The following condition of approval will be added to the proposed project: "Residents shall be given written notification of the presence of sensitive environmental resource areas adjacent to the project, and shall be instructed to obey all ordinances regarding confinement and leashing of pets. Local animal regulation agencies shall be contacted and requested to vigorously enforce all appropriate ordinances. This notification shall be subject to the approval of the City prior to issuance of occupancy permits for residential units." I1.7 The wide-ranging monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is not protected as a species, but is of concern to the CDFG where it forms wintering aggregations in tall trees along the coast. The species otherwise is abundant, widespread (occurring throughout the western hemisphere and across the Pacific to Australia) and in no threat of population reduction. The larval host plant is milkweed (primarily Asclepias spp.), which often proliferates in disturbed sites, particularly around seeps, watercourses, ponds and on heavy soils in CSS and grasslands. No reports of P\1999\9N12101\RTCDOCUNiHNT DOC -5- ATTAChi-ALN 1 1v0. _ significant winter roosts in any of the trees on the property have been documented in prior biological assessments for the Bolsa Chica area. Trees on slopes or mesas generally are not sufficiently sheltered or buffered from the elements to attract aggregations of Monarchs. According to Walt Sakai of the Monarch Project, because of the deteriorating nature of the trees located on the project site, it is not a site for wintering aggregations of Monarchs and has not been previously mapped as such. Additionally, Frank Hovore, principal biologist of Frank Hovore & Associates inspected the 6- acre site on March 22, 1999 to determine the presence/absence or viable potential for nesting birds, particularly raptors, and to survey for nesting burrowing owls, and a report was prepared (refer to Attachment A). During this survey, he observed one (1) monarch butterfly on the site. According to Frank Hovore & Associates, the structure, orientation and siting of the gum trees along Bolsa Chica Street are not suitable to serve as monarch butterfly roosts, and no evidence such as nectaring butterflies, wings, and corpses under the trees was observed. Therefore, no impacts to the monarch butterfly as a result of the proposed project are anticipated. I1.8 While the northern harrier might forage casually in or over the project site, it would not be directly dependent upon the resource base of the site for population maintenance or for its continued local existence. California horned lark is a former USFWS Category 2 candidate subspecies which was formally dropped from any listing status by the Service several years ago, when they revised the overall listing processes and categories. This subtaxon was downgraded from C2 to C3, indicating that it was "too widespread and common" to be considered further for listing. It has no other agency status, and while it may be given consideration in CEQA documents, no mitigation or other project actions would be required for impacts. Additionally, the mainland subspecies of the loggerhead shrike is not endangered or threatened, but in some geographical regions they have experienced varying degrees of metapopulation declines. Shrikes seen during winter months may be migrants, and its status on any particular parcel is difficult to assess unless nesting is observed. Shrikes are not uncommonly encountered in ruderal and coastal scrub habitats, although they never occur in high densities on any given parcel, in part due to territorial needs and in part to variations in resource abundance. Unlike northern mockingbird and other scrub and chaparral species which have "urbanized" to the extent that they readily nest in residential areas, shrikes require larger areas of open space for maintenance of breeding sites, and generally do not persist in developed sites (although they may reside and nest in golf courses and parks). Loss of a nesting site for mainland loggerhead shrikes would be important, but would not jeopardize the nominate subspecies locally, regionally or overall. Also, the Bolsa Chica EIR #551 acknowledges that suitable upland foraging habitat for the loggerhead shrike would be lost due to development on the Bolsa Mesa (which includes this 6-acre site); however, it further determined that the impact would not be significant because there is ample amount of other appropriate foraging habitat on Rabbit Island and in the ruderal areas of the lowland. P\1999\9N12101 RTCDOCLTMENTDOC -6- ATTACK-AENT NO. f I1.9 The vernal pool referenced by the commentor is located approximately 600 feet to the west and off-site of the proposed Sandover Project. It has been delineated as approximately 0.08 acres. With the incorporation of standard conditions of approval, the proposed project drainage system will not impact the existing vernal pool. I1.10 Bolsa Chica Mesa has been surveyed at least 10 times in the past from the 1920's to 1994. The numerous surveys did result in the recordation of an archaeological site in this locale designated ORA-86. The ORA-86 site is bisected by Bolsa Chica Street at its intersection with Los Patos and also exists north of the Goodell parcel. A test excavation of ORA-86 was conducted in 1973, and was determined at that time to be significantly disturbed. No further investigation was recommended. The current condition of this archaeological site was summarized in the Bolsa Chica EIR#551 certified by the County of Orange in 1996, as follows: ORA-86, located north of the Goodell property, was tested in 1973. Eight hand-excavated 1.5 by 1.5-m units and 10 backhoe trenches were employed in the test program (Cooley 1973). Part of the site was overlain by peat fill dirt up to a depth of 60 cm. Below this was an orange clay which contained sparse amounts of shell. Dark midden with heavier shell content was found only along the bluff edge. Very few artifacts were recovered. Given the stratigraphy documented at ORA-83 (Whitney-Desautels 1986), it appears that most of the cultural deposits have been removed from ORA-86 and replaced by peat fill. The orange clay was found below the cultural deposits at ORA-83. Cooley concluded that the site had been "radically disturbed" and that the lartifact yield "is so low, and so fragmented, that it is not possible to make any definitive statements concerning the age of the site or the lifeways of the people based on artifact typology." Because of the disturbance and the low artifact yield, Cooley's recommendation was that the site was not significant as it appeared to be destroyed and no further investigation would be required. I1.11 The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan. The project site is zoned for residential development. Although the project does not propose implementation of a park component, as indicated in the Initial Study, the project will be subject to either land dedication or payment of park and recreation fees to contribute toward the project's share of park facilities in the City to offset the project's incremental contribution to the cumulative recreational impacts. Additionally, the City Community Services Department has recommended pedestrian access to the park that is proposed as part of the Shea Homes residential project planned to the east of this project.

The Bolsa Chica EIR #551 addressed the impacts on coyotes, peregrine falcons, owls, herons, snowy egrets and other bird and mammal species. As indicated in the Bolsa Chica EIR #551, the peregrine falcons are feeding on shore birds in the lowlands. The only known nesting area for the burrowing owl is on the Huntington Beach Mesa. The short-eared owl is considered to be a rare visitor to the Coastal area. Herons and egrets are not endangered or threatened and are primarily found in the Bolsa Chica lowlands. Coyotes have been observed in the lowland area and are considered a meso-predator which prey on the Red fox. The Red fox preys on ground nesting birds. More detailed information on these mammals and other species may be found in the Bolsa Chica EIR#551. Additionally, refer to Response to Comment I1.5. I2.3 Refer to Response to Comment I1.10. The cultural resources on the Mesa, including the project site were considered in the Bolsa Chica EIR #551. This project will not adversely impact any significant cultural resources. I3.1 As identified on page 4 of the Initial Study, the proposed Sandover project is consistent with the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. According to the Caddo Lake Institute, the Ramsar Treaty was created on February 2, 1971. This treaty is an international agreement dedicated to worldwide protection of wetlands. At present, ninety-two (92) nations, including the United States, have participated in adopting Ramsar objectives to stop the loss of wetlands and ensure conservation. As indicated by Dwight Peck at Ramsar, there are seventeen (17) Ramsar sites in the United States. Of those seventeen, only one is in the state of California: Bolinas Lagoon, about 10 kilometers north of San Francisco, designated September 1, 1998. The proposed project site is not a designated Ramsar site. I3.2 Refer to Response to Comment I1.L The impacts of the development of the Bolsa Chica Mesa were considered in the Bolsa Chica EIR 4551 certified by the County of Orange. The findings in the City's Mitigated Negative Declaration were based on an independent analysis of the impacts of the proposed Sandover project, and consideration of previously prepared material including Bolsa Chica EIR#551.

I3.3 The proposed 16 units would generate approximately 192 trips per day, based on a generation factor of approximately 12 trips per day per household. The estimated traffic generated from the proposed project is not considered significant according to the City's traffic standards. Impacts associated with extension of Bolsa Chica Street were analyzed in the Bolsa Chica EIR#551. I3.4 Refer to Response to Comment I1.4 and 11.5. I3.5 The proposed 16 units would generate approximately 192 trips per day, based on a generation factor of approximately 12 trips per day per household. The generated traffic, which is not considered to be significant based on City standards, is expected to travel northbound on Bolsa Chica Street from the project site. According to noise industry experts, the traffic noise models used to project noise impacts would conclude that the project traffic (192 trips per day) would not generate noise levels that would significantly impact the existing residential development surrounding the project site. I3.6 The Mitigated Negative Declaration conclusion of less than significant is based on information provided by the service and utility proN iders. I3.7 ORA-86 has been test excavated and the results documented in the County's Bolsa Chica EIR 9551. Refer to Response to Comment I1.10. As stated on page 4.12-13 of the Bolsa Chica EIR 9551, ORA-83 and 86 have separate histories of investigation and different levels of significance. A complete discussion of these two sites, and the results of site investigations is contained in the Bolsa Chica EIR#551. The boundaries of ORA-83 do not extend onto the project site. I3.8 The less than significant conclusion was made utilizing City standards and through consultations with the City Community Services Department. As indicated on page 13 of the Mitigated Negative Declaration, "The project will be subject to either land dedication or payment of park and recreation fees to contribute toward the project"s share of park facilities in the City, which will offset the project's cumulative recreational impacts."

Most of what is known of the terrestrial invertebrates comes from an insect study conducted by Bradley (MITECH 1990). According to the study, proposed development would not significantly impact sensitive invertebrates. I6.3 Extensive surveys have been conducted for both the lowlands and the Bolsa Chica Mesa, which included the 6-acre Sandover project site, and are contained in the Bolsa Chica EIR 4551. Please refer to Chapter 14 — Bibliography of the Bolsa Chica EIR #551, which lists all the public documents that were utilized in the EIR. I7.1 The comment is acknowledged. Please refer to responses below. I7.2 Refer to Response to Comment 11.4. I7.3 The winter records cited for the overall Bolsa Chica mesa contain the San Diego blacktailed jackrabbit species, which might nest or reside within the ruderal and coastal scrub uplands. This species is not formally listed by CDFG or USFWS, although it is an informal "species of concern" to these agencies. The jackrabbit likely would be displaced from open areas adjacent to development by children, cats and dogs. This species does not make burrows, but rather rests and breeds under shrubby vegetation, and so is particularly vulnerable to feral pet predation. It is likely that the local metapopulation of this subspecies is not particularly abundant except in areas well-away from human habitation, and could easily be extirpated by any substantial development intrusion or direct loss of habitat. Areas that are regularly disked generally are used only for nighttime foraging, not breeding by this species. At present, because this subtaxon is not formally listed by the agencies, such losses, while important locally, would not be considered significant under CEQA, CESA or FESA. P-\I999\9N I2 I01\P TCDOC UNMNT DOC ATTACHMENT NO. I7.4 The mainland subspecies of the loggerhead shrike is not endangered or threatened, but in some geographical regions they have experienced varying degrees of metapopulation declines. Shrikes seen during winter months may be migrants, and its status on any particular parcel is difficult to assess unless nesting is observed. Shrikes are not uncommonly encountered in ruderal and coastal scrub habitats, although they never occur in high densities on any given parcel, in part due to territorial needs and in part to variations in resource abundance.

While the northern harrier might forage casually in or over the project site, it would not be directly dependent upon the resource base of the site for population maintenance or for its continued local existence. The harrier might nest locally within secluded portions of the marshlands, but would not breed on the open ground in ruderal or coastal sage scrub areas which have had continual human and feral pet activity. The same would be true for short-eared owl, and at present there is no record of active nesting sites in this portion of southern California (it formerly nested in marshlands in Huntington Beach and other areas locally, but not within the past several decades). The site probably does provide some foraging value for this species (and the other raptors as well), but it certainly is not an essential resource area for any of these taxa in terms of breeding habitat or population maintenance. In particular, use of the site by Swainson's hawk, which does not nest in coastal southern California and occurs locally only as a seasonal migrant, would be for occasional resting, roosting, and foraging. I7.5 San Diego horned lizard would not occur on the site if there is no open, sandy, coastal scrub or ruderal habitat with harvester ant nests. It does not use over-grown non-native grasslands or ruderal sites which are densely thatched with herbaceous growth. A single San Diego coast horned lizard was in fact found during the 1970 Dillingham survey; however, this sighting was located in the loose sandy soils of Rabbit Island. Despite extensive additional field sampling studies at Bolsa Chica, which included the mesa, it has not been recorded since 1970 (Macdonald et al. 1992). Because Rabbit Island, which is the only location on which the San Diego coast horned lizard has been spotted, is anticipated to be preserved, the potential for direct impacts to this species due to the proposed project is not expected. P`,1999\9N 12101\RTCDOCUMENT DOC -12- ;�TTACHNIEN I NU. �-_ I7.6 Robert Hamilton's letter report stated that all of sightings reported were essentially consistent with the baseline information reported in the Bolsa Chica EIR #551. The other species reported by Hamilton from January, 1998 (the kite, harrier, Cooper's and sharp-shinned hawks) either nest in trees (kite, Cooper's hawk), or in marshland (harrier) or do not nest at all in coastal southern California (sharp-shinned). The harrier might nest locally within secluded portions of the marshlands, but would not breed on the open ground in ruderal or coastal sage scrub areas which have had continual human and feral pet activity. The same would be true for short-eared owl, and at present there is no record of active nesting sites in this portion of southern California (it formerly nested in marshlands in Huntington Beach and other areas locally, but not within the past several decades). The site probably does provide some foraging value for this species (and the other raptors as well), but it certainly is not an essential resource area for any of these taxa in terms of breeding habitat or population maintenance.

The effect of a project on "ocean sound" is not identified within the State's Initial Study checklist utilized by the City of Huntington Beach to assess environmental effects. P6.7 The Bolsa Chica EIR #551 addressed the geologic factors of the Bolsa Chica area, which included the project site. According to the EIR, the potential for major damage to structures planned for the Bolsa Chica Mesa as a result of ground shaking from seismic activity from the Newport-Inglewood Fault or the Bolsa-Fairview Fault is not considered significant. This was based on information contained in the report "Evaluation of Hazards due to Fault Surface Rupture at Bolsa Chica Mesa and in the Bolsa Chica Lowland, Orange County, California" by Woodward-Clyde Consultants, October 1987. Additionally, risk of life, health and property is based on the probability of an event to happen during a given time frame. All of southern California is subject to the risk of earthquakes. The acceptable level of risk is defined by the regulatory bodies and laws governing design. For construction of housing and other facilities anywhere, including the project site, the Uniform Building Code (UBC) is the governing set of standards which states what must be done to protect life, health and property. The applicant is required to implement UBC standards for all design and construction.

Additionally, the City's standard condition that requires a Water Quality Management Plan states, "In accordance with NPDES requirements, a "Water Quality Management Plan" shall be prepared by a Civil or Environmental Engineer, prior to issuance of building permits. The plan shall reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practical using management practices, control techniques and systems, design and engineering methods, and such other provisions which are appropriate."

The awkward angled boundary line of the project site has existed since the incorporation of the area into the City of Huntington Beach. The area located west of Bolsa Chica Street (which includes the project site) was incorporated in 1971. This area was zoned RA (Residential Agriculture). The area to the east of the project site (east of Bolsa Chica Street) was zoned R-1 (Low Density Residential), which has since been changed. In 1972, zoning of the area west of Bolsa Chica Street (including the project site) changed from RA to R-2 (Medium Density Residential — 14 du/acre). In 1984, the CZ (Coastal Zone) suffix was added on both the R-2 on the westside and the RA, which was rezoned in 1984 from R1 to RA-CZ on the eastside. In 1984, zoning on the westside of Bolsa Chica Street (including the project site) was changed from R2-CZ to R1-CZ. In 1994, the nomenclature was changed from R1 to RL on the'kvestside. No comments on the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration have been received from the California Coastal Commission and the California Department of Fish and Game. The only public agency response received to date by the City of Huntington Beach is from the County of Orange. No wetlands have been delineated on this portion of the mesa.

Feral and domestic animals do pose a threat to sensitive species; however, the City could not quantify the increase, if any, of these animals within the proposed residential area. Nonetheless, the potential danger is serious and should be treated as such. Therefore, information on the detrimental effects of domestic cats on common and sensitive species of birds will be supplied to each original homeowner who purchases a home. This information will be approved by the City before issuance of occupancy permits for residential units. The following condition of approval will be added to the proposed project: "Residents shall be given written notification of the presence of sensitive environmental resource areas adjacent to the project, and shall be instructed to obey all ordinances regarding confinement and leashing of pets. Local animal regulation agencies shall be contacted and requested to vigorously enforce all appropriate ordinances. This notification shall be subject to the approval of the City prior to issuance of occupancy permits for residential units."

P 12.4 The CEQA Guidelines provides criteria to assist in assessing whether a cumulative effect requires an EIR. In accordance with Section 15064(i)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, the City of Huntington Beach has determined within the initial study that the Sandover project's contribution to a significant cumulative impact is rendered less than cumulatively considerable and thus is not significant. According to CEQA Section 15064(i)(2), "When a project might contribute to a significant cumulative impact, but the contribution will be rendered less than cumulatively considerable through mitigation measures set forth in a mitigated negative declaration, the initial study shall briefly indicate and explain how the contribution has been P\1999 9N 12101 RTMOCUMENT_DOC -22- ATTACHMENT NO. rendered less than cumulatively considerable." Through implementation of Standard Conditions of Approval and proposed mitigation measures (Attachment Nos. 6 and 7 of the Initial Study), the project's contribution to a significant cumulative impact is rendered less than cumulatively considerable and therefore is not significant requiring the preparation of an EIR to address cumulative impacts.

The southern and western margins of the site are defined by the boundary line between Huntington Beach and Orange County; the northern margin (Los Patos Avenue) abuts existing residential development; the eastern margin encompasses the unpaved extension of the Bolsa Chica Street alignment, beyond which lies a small parcel of undeveloped open space (at present a ruderal field laced with dirt roads and used for old telephone pole storage). A line of senescent gum trees (Eucalyptus sp.) parallels the eastern margin of the Bolsa Chica Street extension. The southern and western boundaries of the parcel are fenced de facto as part of the perimeter fencing of the surrounding land. Methods FH&A principal biologist Frank Hovore inspected the t6 acre site on 22 March 1999, from mid-morning until early afternoon, under clear, warm weather conditions. The requested objectives of this visit were to determine presence/absence or viable potential for nesting birds, particularly raptors, and to survey for nesting burrowing owls. In this particular year, with relatively low rainfall and cooler-than-average daytime temperatures, the timing of the visit corresponded with the early part of the territorial establishment,nesting and incubating season for most birds of prey locally. The site was "scouted" visually with binoculars (10x42) from perimeter points, and a grid of transects was walked over the entire acreage to provide full coverage per the accepted protocols for burrowing owl surveys. All gum trees within the project portion of the alignment were carefully inspected for the presence of nests, and evaluated as potential monarch butterfly winter roosts. This survey was confined physically to the t6 acre parcel, and while some visual observations were made within the surrounding fenced area, information presented herein specifically represents conditions as encountered on the surveyed parcel. ATTACHMENT NO. ____- 2 Physical characteristics of the site; existing land uses This corner of the overall Bolsa Chica uplands is adjacent to existing residential development, some light industrial facilities, and at the base of the knoll to the east, agricultural fields. Substrates on the site have been disked routinely in recent years as part of mandated fire prevention procedures, and the presence of water pumps and cisterns on the surrounding land suggests a prior history of agricultural use, although it appears that no crops have been cultivated on-site for at least a decade. There are no rock outcroppings, cliffs, seasonal pools, channels or other natural geomorphic or hydrologic features on the site. In March, 1999, the entire site showed evidence of considerable vehicular "joyriding," resulting in dozens of deeply-rutted, circular tire marks, made recently enough to have ripped-out emergent herbaceous vegetation. Additionally,the SW corner of the site is littered with debris and trash, mostly around an old, non-functioning well. The perimeter of the adjacent portions of the uplands is entirely fenced with 6' high chain-link, which in turn serves as partial perimeter fencing for the=L6 acre parcel. The uplands of which this parcel is a part continue coast-ward for several hundred meters, then the terrain slopes rather steeply downward into severely-degraded remnant portions of the Bolsa Chica wetlands ecosystem. There are roads and trails along the upper rim of the mesa and down into the former wetlands habitats, most of which now consist of sumps and berms associated with oil extraction. There now are limited or no tidal inflows to these wetlands because of the berms and roadways, and the presence of the Wintersburg channel between them and the natural tidal basin. Much of the area below the toe of the mesa has been invaded by gum trees and other alien vegetation which now form dense stands of varying ages and condition. Vegetation Site vegetation consists entirely of non-native grasses and ruderal herbaceous taxa such as cheeseweed (Malva sp.), mustards (Hirschfeldia, Brassica) and radish (Raphanus sativa),with the only woody plant being a single non-native shrub (prob. olive) sprouting in the center of the property. Soils are a sandy loam throughout the site, only moderately compacted along roadways and trails, and supporting no natural or native plant formations. None of the plant species present is considered sensitive by any resource agency or botanical organization, and the overall composition of the site is typical of heavily or frequently-disturbed substrates in southern California coastal uplands. The line of gum trees was planted along the eastern margin of the extension of Bolsa Chica Street, and extends along the alignment to the slopes above the lowlands, where the species has "seeded-out" and formed dense groves. Several of the gum trees within the property boundaries have died, and the remainder are senescent and in declining ATTACHMENT NO. 3 health, probably due to a combination of environmental stress, age, and a moderate infestation of Australian longhomed woodboring beetles (Phoracantha semipunctata, P. recurva). There are no other native or ornamental trees on the property. Wildlife Native wildlife use of ruderal fields adjacent to residential areas typically is severely limited by the lack of natural vegetation formations, the general lack of cover, and consistently high levels of human disturbance. Insects observed on the property included one monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), several cabbage butterflies (Artogeia rapae, non-native), and one painted lady (Vanessa cardui). The latter two species frequently utilize ruderal herbaceous plants for larval feeding, and so have potential host plants present on the site. The low structure, linear orientation into the prevailing on-shore winds, and mesa-top siting of the gum trees along Bolsa Chica Street generally are not characteristic of monarch winter roosts, which are invariably taller, more densely spaced, and wind-sheltering. No evidence (nectaring butterflies, wings and corpses under the trees) of such use was observed, nor have such roosts been reported for any of the other gum tree formations in the vicinity of the f6 acre parcel. The nearest recorded wintering sites for monarchs are located in Huntington Beach Central Park and Garden Grove Park. Terrestrial arthropods noted included European earwig (Forficula auricularia), dooryard sowbug (Porcellio laevis), common pillbug (Armadillidium vulgare), woolly darkling beetle (Cratidus osculans) and western black widow spider (Latrodectus hesperus), all but the last two of which are non-native. Mollusks observed included brown garden snail (Helix adspersa) and garden slug (Agriolimax reticulatum), neither of which are native to North America. No sensitive invertebrate taxa would be expected to occur anywhere within the f6 acre parcel. The only amphibian which might be capable for sustaining a population marginal to the site would be the western toad (Bufo boreas halophilus), which often persists in urban settings, but because of the lack of surface water it could not breed on the site. Reptile diversity likewise is low, commensurate with the degraded and frequently disturbed condition of the substrate and vegetation, with only two species, western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) and San Diego alligator lizard (Elgaria multicarinatus webbi) having been observed on the site. Side-botched lizard(Uta stansburiana) also may occur on the site, and if not already extirpated locally, San Diego gopher snake (Pituophis melanoleucus annectens) and southern Pacific rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis helleri) also might occasionally stray onto the property in search of prey. No agency-listed species of amphibians or reptiles would be expected to occur on the=L6 acre site. Great blue heron (Ardea herodias) and other wading birds occasionally hunt for rodents and reptiles in ruderal fields, and 3 heron nests were observed in gum tree snags along the top of the mesa several hundred meters southwest of the site. Outlying stands of gum ATTACHMENT NO. _ 4 trees may serve as roosting, nesting and perching sites for a number of native bird species, although such sites are not naturally-occurring adjacent to the wetlands. The herons and other predatory birds likely would hunt more frequently in the extensive and much less disturbed areas of non-native grassland outside the t6 acre parcel boundaries. Red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) also are resident locally and may nest within the outlying stands of gum trees around the mesa margin, but this species and other birds of prey hunt opportunistically over the entire Bolsa Chica habitat system, wherever there are sufficient numbers of prey species. In general, most native species would be less likely to use the ±6 acre site than the surrounding uplands simply because it is more frequently cleared, is adjacent to residences and streets, and has higher levels of direct human disturbance. Site suitability for roosting, nesting, sheltering and other uses by birds of prey is correlated closely with levels of human disturbance, and during the weekday morning of the 1999 surveys, no fewer than 17 people, 8 dogs and 1 cat were present for varying lengths of time within the perimeter of the ±6 acre parcel, with perhaps as many as 40 vehicles driving along the Bolsa Chica Street alignment. It is apparent that this particular site consistently receives high levels of human activity. Although some birds of prey and a few species of songbirds occasionally utilize gum trees or perching, roosting and nesting, such use is infrequent and non-essential, at least relative to the use of native tree species, and as a rule the presence of these trees degrades natural habitat values. Tall trees such as these are not natural features of southern _ California coastal bluff or salt marsh ecosystems, and the only such trees historically present near marshes prior to human habitation of the areas were riparian species associated with freshwater inflow channels. The presence of gum trees adjacent to coastal uplands and marsh systems provides birds of prey and crows with hunting perches and nest sites, contributing to unnaturally-intense levels of predation and harassment of ground-nesting birds and wetlands wildlife. In the case at hand, though, the proximity of the gum trees along the margin of the t6 acre parcel, combined with their generally decadent condition, appears to render them unsuitable as nesting sites, even for such disturbance-tolerant species as crows, and no evidence was found to indicate that any native bird species presently are nesting in them. Several species of native resident and migrant songbirds, including house finch (Carpodacus mexicanus), black phoebe (Sayornis nigricans), western kingbird (Tyrannus verticalis) white-crowned and golden-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys, Z. atricapilla) were observed on or around the parcel, but the complete lack of suitable nest sites would preclude their breeding within the 6 acres. Ecological generalist species possibly nesting within the gum trees include the American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), European starling (Sturnus vulgaris), and perhaps also American kestrel (Falco sparverius), although the latter two species require cavities in which to nest. Although no woodpeckers were observed locally, the soft, rotten tops of the gum trees may contain cavities, and while no evidence of either of these species nesting on the site was found in March, 1999, a pair of starlings was observed exhibiting courtship and nest-searching behavior around a dead ATTACHMENT NO. -- 5 snag-top. Starlings are not native to North America, and the species is considered a major factor in the populational declines of native woodpeckers and other cavity-nesting birds. A pair of loggerhead shrikes was observed hunting, perching and exhibiting courtship behavior near a small shrub located offsite, south of the fenceline, near the SW corner of the property. The perimeter fencing prevented more detailed observations of this species on the surrounding property. Several western meadowlarks (Sturnella neglecta) were flushed from the grass onsite, in an area of extensive vehicle activity near the western fenceline of the property, and they then flew several hundred feet into the fields to the west. Meadowlarks utilize ruderal fields as habitat, and it might nest within the property boundaries, but this seems unlikely, given the surrounding extensive acreage of higher quality, less-disturbed nesting habitat, with greater percentages of cover, and fencing against human and feral pet intrusion. The entire site was searched visually for western burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia hypogea) prior to entering, and all rodent burrows on the property were carefully inspected for this species' sign (feathers, tracks, pellets, food remnants, fecal staining, etc.), but no evidence of their presence was found. This species may nest anywhere in open ruderal or non-native grasslands, particularly with easily excavated soils and high numbers of rodent burrows (especially California ground squirrel); a single bird was reported from the upper mesa(precise locality not specified) in January, 1998 (Hamilton, in lift.). It is vulnerable to predation by feral pets and disturbance by humans, however, and the high levels such activity on the site, combined with the routine substrate alteration practices presently serve to render the site unsuitable for burrowing owl breeding or resident use. Mammal activity on the site consists primarily of pocket gopher (Thomomys bottae ssp.) and California ground squirrel (Spermophilus beecheyi), the burrows of which are common throughout the property. Audubon cottontail (Sylvilagus auduboniz) also is common in the fields around the site, and several fecal pellets of San Diego black-tailed jackrabbit (Lepus californicus bennetti) were found along the trails. This latter species does not burrow, and so is particularly vulnerable to feral pet predation and disturbance by humans; it probably resides within the overgrown ruderal fields surrounding the ±6 acre parcel, and some individuals may enter the site at night to feed on the emergent grasses and herbaceous plants. This property receives more regular disking, and so the vegetation emerges earlier in the season, is shorter in stature and less woody, which may make it slightly more attractive to foraging rodents and lagomorphs in the early spring months. None of the plant species or ruderal formation present are unique to the f6 acre site, nor are they biologically or ecologically essential to the continued presence of any native mammal species locally. Overall, the f6 acre site does not appear to support any native species of wildlife populationally, seasonally, or in a resource-dependent relationship, with the only vertebrate taxa resident on the site (= breeding and present within the property ATTACHMENT NO. 6 boundaries during all times of the activity season) being ground squirrels, gophers, 3 lizard species, and perhaps also cottontail rabbits. All of these taxa are widespread in many different habitat types in coastal southern California, and being ecological generalists which readily habituate to human presence (or are oblivious to it), they commonly persist in ruderal situations and urban landscapes. Summary The f6 acre parcel presently does not support active resident or breeding populations of any native wildlife species, nor does it serve as an essential foraging, roosting, or sheltering site for same. Existing levels of human intrusion on the site, particularly vehicle trespass and dog-oriented activities, continuously suppress natural terrestrial habitat values. There is no evidence of western burrowing owl on the property, with present and on-going levels of substrate and habitat disturbance rendering the site unsuitable for their use. The gum trees on the property are in a state of declining health and are infested with cambium-girdling insects; many have dead crowns or have died completely. Because of their diminished stature and collapsing crown structure they appear to no longer offer suitable nest sites for native birds of prey or songbirds. They also are not suitable structurally as winter congregation trees for monarch butterflies. Development of this ±6 acre parcel would not directly result in impacts to agency-listed sensitive plants or animals, nor to any threatened or endangered species. It would not eliminate essential foraging,roosting, nesting, or seasonal use areas for any such species, nor interfere with migratory or non-seasonal movement patterns. The aging and dying gum trees on site are not native to North America, and do not appear to be functioning as a structural or biological resource for local birds of prey or other sensitive species. As such, no formal mitigation measures should be required under CEQA, ESA or other environmental protection statutes,relative to impacts to existing features.

The changes to the Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration as they relate to issues contained within this errata sheet do not affect the overall conclusions of the environmental document. The changes are identified by the comment reference. Subsequently to completion and circulation o f the Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration the applicant revised the original submittal by reducing the proposed number of units (17 to 16 units), and increasing the net site area within the tract boundary to include the Bolsa Chica Street extension (total 5.7 acres). In addition, the amount of soil import (800 cu. yds.) was revised to reflect 5,000 cubic yards which is necessary to design the tract to drain properly. The additional fill and project area, and reduction in the number of units will not generate any new or additional environmental impacts not addressed in the original mitigated negative declaration. The following revisions to the original checklist are required to address the modified plans. PROJECT TITLE, (pg. 1) The project title has been modified to reference a 16 unit residential subdivision PROJECT DESCRIPTION, (pg. 1) The project description has been modified to read as follows: To subdivide approximately six (6) acres on the Bolsa Chica Mesa (within City limits) for the construction of 16, two-story single family residences. I. LAND USE AND PLANNING (pg. 4, discussion, paragraph 2) The density of the proposed project is 3.4 units per net acre; the zoning designation allows up to 7 units per net acre. The proposed project is designed to be compatible with other single family residences in the area in terms of lot size and floor area. All lots will comply with minimum 6,000 square foot requirement. No exceptions to development standards are being requested on the project site as part of this request. The proposed 16 unit subdivision will comply with the City's Zoning and Land Use Element of the General Plan. II. POPULATION AND HOUSING (pg. 5, discussion, paragraph 2) The project will introduce 16 new homes into the area and approximately 45 occupants. The population increase resulting from the project is consistent with the growth projections in the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and regional projections and represents less than 0.1 percent of the city's current population. The subject site is currently vacant and there will be no housing displaced as part of this project. ATTACHMENT NO. III. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS (pg. 5, discussion, paragraph 1) Discussion: The project will require 100% of the site to be graded. The volume of cutting will be approximately 5,200 cubic yards; the fill will be approximately 6,000 cubic yards. The import of approximately 5,000 cubic yards of soil will be via an approved truck hauling route. The maximum fill on the site will be approximately three (3) feet in order to design the site to drain properly. Displacement, compaction, and overcovering of soil associated with the construction of the infrastructure improvements and single family units is considered negligible. The project will be subject to standard conditions of approval which require submittal of hydrology and hydraulic studies to determine that the project will not adversely impact the adjacent properties, or exceed the capacity of surrounding drainage systems. IV. WATER (pg. 7, discussion, paragraph 3) The project will require the installation of new on-site water lines. Because the proposed 16 unit project complies with the Low Density Residential land use designation in the General Plan for the site, the estimated water demand of approximately 5984 gallons per day for the proposed project can be accommodated by the City's water service capacity and does not represent a significant demand. The project will be subject to standard conditions of approval requiring implementation of Title 24 conservation measures such as low flow fixtures and use of drought tolerant plant species and drip irrigation. (See Condition No. 6 of Attachment No. 6). The site does not drain directly into any natural body of water. No significant adverse impacts to the existing water supply are anticipated. V. AIR QUALITY (pg. 7, discussion, paragraph 1) Short-term: The construction of the 16 unit residential project will result in short term increases in dust and construction equipment emissions. Emissions are expected from gasoline and diesel powered grading and paving equipment and fugitive dust generation associated with earth moving activities. Due to the size and scope of the grading and construction (approximately 30 days), the dust and construction emissions are not anticipated to be significant (based on AQMD thresholds) and can be further reduced with implementation of standard conditions of approval (see Condition No. 7 on Attachment No. 6). No significant adverse impacts are anticipated. VI. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION (pg. 8, discussion, paragraph 1) The 17 units are projected to result in approximately 170 average vehicle trips per day at completion. Access to the project will be via Bolsa Chica Street south of Los Patos Avenue (see Attachment No. 1). The streets within the proposed tract are proposed to be private, however will be designed to public street standards. A secondary access is also proposed on the west end of the project site from Los Patos Avenue for emergency vehicles only. ATTACHMENT NO. VIII. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES (pg. 10, discussion, paragraph 1) Construction of the 16 unit subdivision will increase natural resource and energy use on site. However, the proposed residential use is consistent with the Low Density Residential designation in the General Plan and buildout anticipated under the General Plan. In addition, the project will be subject to standard conditions of approval, which require implementation of Title 24 conservation measures for construction. The new residences are not anticipated to significantly deplete any non-renewable resource or require the development of new energy sources. No significant impacts to natural resources are anticipated. IX. HAZARDS (pg. 10, discussion, paragraph 1) The proposed subdivision and construction of the 16 single family residences will not involve the use of any hazardous materials and will not result in any impediments to emergency response or evacuation plans. The project site is located within the recommended five (5) minute response area from the Warner Fire Station located near Pacific Coast Highway. With implementation of standard conditions of approval, no significant impacts resulting from hazardous materials are anticipated. XVI. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE (pg. 14, discussion, paragraph 1) The project is designed to be incorporated into the Bolsa Chica master plan community located in the jurisdiction of the County of Orange. The master plan is currently pending California Coastal Commission review and approval. The potential impacts resulting from the proposed 16 unit tract is not considered to be significant as discussed under items I-XV above. All environmental impacts resulting from the proposed Bolsa Chica master plan have been addressed in the Environmental Impact Report for the Bolsa Chica Local Coastal Program.

P P.O. Box 190 PIKX 0 Huntington Beach,CA 92658 .T Z4 _ 2- SUBJECT: ND for Sandover — Dear Mr. Ca--valho: The above referenced item is a Negative Declarazian(ND)for the City of Huntington Beach. The proposed project involves the development of 17 single-family residential lots on fivo acres located at the southwest comer of Bolsa Chica Street and Los Patos Lane. The County of Orange has reviewed the ND and offers the following comments: BIKEWAYS 1. The Commuter Bikeways Strategic Plan(CBSP)administered by Orange County Transportation Authority depicts a"Recommended Bikeway"along Bolsa Chica Street in the C1.1 project areas. Presumably it will be a Class II or III,both on-mad bikeways. The project should address this potential regional bikeway facility. 2. The CBSP identifies the Bolsa Chica Bikeway,a Class I (paved off-road)bikeway along the East Garden Grove-Wintcrsburg Channel in the project vicinity. Current planning for the Bolsa Chica open space indicates that the channel maybe removed in the open space area,in C 1.2 which case the proposed bikeway would be relocated to the northerly perimeter of the open space. The subject project should not preclude implementation of the Class 1 bikeway around the northerly perimeter of the Bolsa Chica open space area. 3. Also,there may be opportunities to connect the subject project's proposed pedestrian trail and sidewalks to the Bolsa Chica Bikeway,%-hich would serve both bicyclists and C1.3 pedestrians. We suggest the project not preclude connections between the bikeway and the proposed pedestrian uails. ATTACHMENT NO. -�-_� 4. Regarding coordination of trail and bikeway planning, we suggest the subject project proponent and the City work with the project proponent of the nearby Shea Homes project C1.4 and the County. We understand Shea Homes has been conditioned to construct a portion of the Bolsa Chica Bikeway along the northerly side of the Wint--rsbug Channel. WATER QUALITY 5. We feel that the conclusion that a new tract of this size could not have surface water quality impacts associated with ronoff from the subdivision may not be warranted. Under Orange County's Countywide municipal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit(to which the City is a party)each new developm:nt and significant redevelopment is required to:a) incorporate construction-term measures in the Countywide Drainage Area Management Plan(DAMP); and b) develop and implement a long-term post-construction Water Quality Management Plan(WQMP),describing the installation and maintenance of appropriate structural facilities and conduct of routine non-structural Best Management Practices(BMPs)consistent with the DAMP Now Development Appendix 0. On page 6 of the ND,under Envirotunental Checklist item 4C,we suggest that"Potentially . C1.5 Significant Impact Unless Mitigated"be checked instead of"No Imp=,." Mitigation would be the City's implementation of the County of Orange condition WQ2 which states: "Prior to the recordation of a subdivision reap,or issuance of precise grading permits or building permits,whichever comes first,the applicant should submit and obtain approval from the County of a WQMP specifically identifying BMPs that will be used on-site to control predictable pollutant runoff. This WQMP should identify,at a ruirdum,DAMP Appendix G which details implementation of BMPs whenever they are applicable to a project,the assignment of long term maintenance responsibilities(specifying the developer,parcel owner, maintenance association,lessee,etc.);and, should reference the location(s)of structural BMPs.

CERRITOS COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT 11110 ALONDRA BLVD. • NORWALK, CALIFORNIA 90650-6298 • (310) F60-2451• FAX (310)467-5005 Fs. 10 14G5 RECEIVED Feb. 5, 1999 FEB 0 8 1999 Wayne Carvalho, Associate Planner OEPARTM ENT OF PLANNING City of Huntington Beach Planning Department 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 I1 Dear Mr. Carvalho, I am writing in objection to the city only preparing a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-11 for the proposed development of 17 housing units on the Bolsa Chica Mesa. My first objection is in the piece meal way the planning of development on the Bolsa Chica Mesa is being done. I think this application is premature in light of the fact that the applicant's other planned development of 1 ,235 units on the County portion of the property is before the San Diego Appellate Court. The court is expected to rule within three months. The court could send this development back to the California Coastal I1.1 Commission for further review and significant changes could be made in the proposed development. Would it not be more prudent for the City to wait to see what the court will decide and if necessary the Coastal Commission before going ahead with the planning process for this piece of what is essentially the same property? For example if the Commission directs the applicant to cluster the development in the center of the mesa to reduce impacts to the surrounding Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHAs) the planning of housing for this site could be affected. I believe a full Environmental Impact Statement needs to be prepared for the following reasons: 1 . This piece of land is contiguous with the rest of the property owner's land on the Bolsa Chica mesa. After the E1R was prepared for the applicant's project on County land the endangered (and-lo-elieved extinct) Pacific Pocket mouse was discovered in similar a ita in ana Point. No surveys for this endangered species have been conducted on the o sa Chica mesa aes pe commu ca ion rom the US Fish and I1.2 Wildlife Service stating t at t e soil type and habitat for the mouse exists on the Bolsa Chica Mesa. An EIR should be done with surveys for this mouse. Since no one is sure if this mouse is found on the mesa the statement " The project will not result in any loss to endangered or sensitive animal or bird species" on page 9 of the Environmental Checklist cannot be considered a valid statement until surveys are done. ATTACHMENT NO. 2. Burrowing owls, a species of special concern, have been seen in the winter months within a few hundred feet of this site. This bird has declined in numbers throughout Califomia. Surveys should be done on this site to ensure no owls are nesting or wintering in this habitat. These birds have been seen from Los Patos Street on the I1.3 Bolsa Chica mesa. It only makes sense to determine if they are using this habitat as a wintering ground or nesting. 3. The eucalyptus trees which are mentioned to be removed are part of an Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) delineated by the California Department of Fish and Game. The Department of Fish and Game delineated 24 acres of these trees as an ESHA due to their importance to raptors or it s of prey. I1.4 While the co an in a prepare or the development of the county land rather arbitrarily reduced the number of acres, to my knowledge the Fish and Game Department has not. I have a 1994 document stating the size of the EHSA to be 24 acres. This is not addressed in your checklist and needs to be addressed in an EIR. 4. The endangered peregrine falcon and the white tailed kite, a species of special concern use these eucalyptus trees for roosting, perching and hunting. These birds use even the dead and dying trees. The white tailed kite uses the trees as nesting habitat. A survey needs to be done in the nesting season to ensure the kites will not be I1.5 disturbed by development activities. Other birds of prey such as the red-tailed hawk, red-shouldered hawk, Cooper's hawk, American kestrel, bam owls, and great-horned owls, use this EHSA. That is why it is referred to as the Raptor ESHA. An EIR needs to be done to determine the impacts this project and subsequent human activity will have on these birds. 5. All of the endangered birds which use the wetlands are ground nesting birds. What impact will the domestic animals such as cats have on these birds? This is not addressed at all by your statements or checklist. This piece of land is not isolated from the rest of Bolsa Chica or from the wetlands. Cats can have a severe impact on all birds not just ground nesting birds. Please see Coleman, J.S. and S.A. Temple. (1995) I1.6 How many birds do cats kill ? Wildlife Control Technology. 44. ; Dunn,E.H. and D.L. Tessaglia. (1994) Predation of birds at feeders in winter. Journal of Field Ornithology 65 (1): 8-16.; Mitchell, J. and R.A. Beck. 1992 Free ranging domestic cat predation on native vertebrates in rural and urban Virginia. Virginia Journal of Science 43: 197-206. 6. No mention is made of the monarch butterfly. This butterfly uses the eucalyptus tress along the California coast for food and to form night-time aggregations Trees in which aggregations form are given protection by CDFG and more effort should be made to I1.7 determine if the butterflies are using the trees on the site as aggregation sites or not. Please address this in an EIR. 7. Suitable habitat exists at this site for the northern harrier a species of concern. California homed lark young and nests have been reported on the mesa. The I1.8 California horned lark is a 62 species. Loggerhead shrikes, another C2 species are common and nest in low numbers on the mesa. Are there any of these species on this ATTACHirv!EN 1 N0- -- - property? Only a survey done at the appropriate time of year will answer that question. I1.8 This survey should be part of the EIR done for the property. 1(cont. 8. The Army Corps of Engineers recently delineated a 5,000 square foot vernal pool on the Bolsa Chica mesa. An EIR needs to be done to study the impacts this I1.9 development may have on the pool. 9. ORA 86 is located on this site. This archeological resource deserves protection, and study. If housing is built on a si a any information it holds will be lost. At the very least, I1.10 additional study is warranted. 10. 1 object to the statement on page 13 that " The project will not result in the loss of existing recreational facilities". This statement I believe comes from again piece meal planning of the site. People have had access to this property for decades. They use it to walk, jog, bike ride, bird watch, and other passive activities. If housing is constructed on this site those uses will end. This will cause a significant impact to the people in the area who currently use this land recreationally. I also do not agree that I1.11 the payment of park and recreation fees will offset the impacts of the development. These fees are so low that it is ridiculous to think land for a park could be purchased with amount of money the developer will have to pay. In summary this piece of land needs to be seen by the city staff and others for what it is- a part of the Bolsa Chica ecosystem. What happens on this part of the mesa will have an impact on the wetlands below, on the raptor ESHA, and on the other habitats on the mesa. Sincerely, 6"� a,,, 4..."

O. Box 190 Huntington Beach, CA 92648 I2 Dear Mr. Carvalho: I am writing on behalf of my family, neighbors, and the 1200 members of the Huntington/Long Beach Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation to ask that you provide a full I2.1 •review of the proposed development of 17 homes off Los Patos on the Bolsa Chica mesa. me ask that you prepare an Environmental Impact Report in lieu of the Negative Declaration. This portion of the mesa is both an Environmentally Sensitive Habitat and an area of cultural and archeological artifacts. I have often observed wildlife in this area as coyotes, 12.2 peregrine falcons, owls, Great Blue Herons, Snowy Egrets, and more. The mesa provides habitat for middle and upper level predators that help keep the Bolsa Chica wetlands ecosystem in balance. - An EIR is also necessary to decide if ORA 86 is a significant site. The planning department would be remiss in servicing the citizens of Huntington Beach if 12,3 the proposed project were to proceed without a proper EIR. My telephone number is 846-8790.

FEB 0 9 1999 H.B. CA 92648 DEPARTMENT GE PLANNING Feb 9,1999 I3 Mr. Carvalho: As Land Trust Board members we think the project should have a new EIR because of the following concerns Our concerns with the Koll Sandover Project Negative Declaration (ND) are these: LI Land Use and Planning (Pg.4) ("b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project."ND rates it"No impact I3.1 This 1700 acres are a flyway and protected by RAMSAR Treaty (an environmental treaty to protect the flyways internationally.) Bolsa Chica is one of those areas. 2.11 Population and Housing(pg.4) b)"Induce substantial growth in an area either directly or indirectly(e.g., through projects in an undeveloped area or extension of major infrastructure). ND says "Less than significant" I3.2 By their own admission (pg14) "the project is designed to be incorporated into the Bolsa Chica Master Plan." How could 1235 homes in this BC Mesa impact. be anything but Potentially Significant Impact? 3 VI. Transportation/Circulation(pg.8) a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion. ND says: Less than significant impact b) ND says,"The Bolsa Chica Street extension south is designed as a full public street section with four lanes and a median. The extension is designed to allow I3.3 for future access to the remainder of the parcel and possible linkage to the development in the unincorporated area of the Mesa( in other words the 1235 homes c) Picture enclosed of street as it is today. 4.VII Biological resources (pg.9)ND rates it No Impact a) "Endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats (including but not limited to: plants, fish, insects, animals and birds)?" Read discussion about the I3.4 eucalyptus trees Pictures included showing the birds in the trees and coyotes on the site on 1/30/99 5 X Noise (pg10) "Long term impacts may occur as a result of end trips..." I3.5 ATTACHMENT NO. "The noise may be attenuated by double-paned windows and air-conditioning 113.5 systems or other means"What about the existing homes? ND says Less than 1(cont.) significant XI Public Services ND says Less than significant Fire, police, schools, roads, and other governmental services. I3.6 6 XII Cultural Resources. (pg 12)ND says Less than significant for paleontological resources and archeological resources. and NO impact on historical resources Ora86 hasn't been fully tested. It is on the site There was an 8000-year old body and a cogstone discovered in situ and turned over to the coroner in"October I3.7 12,1993. The body was found on ORA 83 which is on the Mesa This body was 9 19. How could this project adjacent to ORA 83 not have some of the same archeological, paleontological and historical resources NG says" it is not significant as it appears to be destroyed and no further investigation would be required." Wrong this is what they say about everything they want to destroy. 8.XV Recreation ND says Less than significant. `Increase the need for neighborhood parks or regional parks or other recreational I I3.8 facilities" 9.XV! Mandatory Finding of Significance (pg. 13) - a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment substantially reduce the habitat of wildlife species ...etc ND says NO D-4PACT.Wrong read the discussion. It says "it's not located in any I3.9 wildlife or biological resource area."This Bolsa Chica is a flyway for birds migrating from South America to Canada and Siberia it's a raptors habitat, It's probably a cemetery, It has Archeological potential on ORA 86 which is on the site. These are our concerns for this project Thanks for your attention. Eileen Murphy Nancy Donaven Pictures included in the letter are 91. The street that is pictured is the one (pg.8) in ND says:"there will be 4 lanes wide with a median "and the ND says 'Less than Significant Impact" 92 Pictured inside the fence adjacent to project on Bolsa Chica Road. 93. Tress filled with birds described in ND as (pg.13)"The project is not located in the areas of any wildlife or biological resources areas and will not therefore substantially reduce the habitat of fish or wildlife species--" tt4.

S 71le Bolsa Chica Mesa has been severely compmmised by previous h=an activities including oil extraction, and shore batteries. The predominate plant cammunity is tit described as introduced annual gasses.In addition,its isolation tram other upland habitats impedes the continued movement of%ildlhfe in a^d cut of this site. Development of surrounding properties has reduced the diversity of this site through the ehmination of habitat,intrusion of domestic animal (parnculariy dogs and cats) and human activies hogging, mountain bikes)_ However,the Mesa is not without value. Its immediate proximity to the Bolsa Chica Marsh provides tmmense value to the Mesa. Alternatively,the presence.of coyotes on the Mesa provides means of contsollmg of mesu-predators both or.the Mesa and in the Marsh itself. The Mesa also provides important foraging areas for raptors and migrating birds. orange CLnmty has lost a ties,mendous amount of its natural habitats. The size of the Mesa and its pna)dmity to the Marsh makes this site very important to the long term well being of the Coastal Marshes in this region. This property is an integral part of the Bolsa Chica Salt Marsh's ecology and every effort should be made to maintain and enhance its present value. The value will be greatly increased if the site were restored. The wildlife value could be significantly improved ff human activities were limited and domestic animals controlled. The improvement would likely include greater use by Borrowing owls, Short eared owls and Harriers as well as an increase in the mammal population Future restoration should include elimination of introduced exotic plants and reintroduction of native coastal plants.

Location: This site is situated along the SW edge of upper 6olsa Chica Mesa beginning at the southernmost extent of the terrace just E of a large W14 II bunker and continuing NE some 600 m. The site is about 0.7 mi (1.1 km) inland from the Pacific Ocean. Access- From intersection with Los Patos Avenue proceed S on gravel road that is a continuation of Bolsa Chica Avenue for 0.15 mi (0.24 km) to center of site at location of Woodman Pole Company yard (17200 Bolsa Chica Avenue, Huntington Beach). 8. Prehistoric X Historic Protohistoric 9. Site Description: This site consists of extensive deposits of anthrosols containing relatively high frequencies of both eco- factual and artifactual materials including over 400 cogged stones. some 40 discoidals , and charmstones, as well as large numbers of utilitarian items such as milling equipment, falked stone tools and debitage, bone tools, and shell beads. This site includes strati- fied deposits of variable depth, extent, and characteristics that extend continuously between the formerly separately recorded sites CA-DRA-83/144 and CA-ORA-86. Based upon chronometric data (33 14C dates ranging from 7600 to 2334 years B.P., uncorrected)and arti- fact cross-dating reported by previous investigators - (see References) , the site appears to have been occupied continuously for some 5000 years beginning before 4000 B.C_ Since more cogged stones have been recovered from this site than from all other southern Cal i fornia sites combined , it is possible that CA-0RA- 83/B6/144 was an influential regional center. 10.-_Area: NE/SW 600. m (length) xNW/SE 150 m -(width) t90.000 • m - --- Method of Determination: Surface observations of the extent of cultural deposits. i ATTACHMENT N0. 2-10-1999 A;ASPiM LL.. i^P i=!_S 213 622 044S P. 7 rCHAEOLOGICAL SITE RECORD Permanent Trinomial : CA-t,..,+-03l36/144 (Supplem ent), Other Designations: Strandt 1717; Herring' s "A" and "E" loci ; "7he Cogged Stone Site" 11.

Site Disturbances: This site has been disturbed by both natural and human causes, but the degree/extensiveness of that disturbance remains a point of contention to this date. Natural disturbances have included animal burrowing , soil displacement by roots , and erosion. Human disturbances have included agricultural plowing, construction of WW II batteries and related facilities , undergrounding of utilities , and the construction and use of several roads , fences, the Woodman Pole Company yard, and a housing development (at the far NF end of site). Given the depth of —^deposits noted (up to 150+ cm ) and observations made during previous subsurface studies , subs tantial intact deposits likely remain at this site and even the probably disturbed upper deposits may retain significance.

Remarks: This site is very well known, and has been scientifically investigated with both surface and subsurface studies since the 1920s, (see References). The number of cogged stones found at this site exceeds the number reported from all other California sites combined, suggesting the importance of this site with respect to resolving the function and temporal. positioning of these items, as well as larger issues concerning regional social dynamics. Large portions of this site have been adjudged "disturbed" by some previous investigators, though substantial evidence +has not been presented to confirm or reject such statements. Additional studies -----will be needed to clarify the issue of site integrity in areas -- - - - which have received little or no scientific attention to date.

Substantial evidence exists supporting a fair argument that this project may have a significant adverse impact upon the environment,therefore,preparation of an EIR is mandatory. I have attached pages from a 1979 US Fish and Wildlife Service report on the Bolsa Chica area which highlights the importance of the Bolsa Chica mesa and indicates the presence of diverse species which utilize the area proposed for the project. According to this report,the eucalyptus groves are "important to many songbirds, raptors, and mammals...Many of the birds feed and nest in or near the blue gum habitat." The report continues, "One of the more dramatic visitors to the blue gums is the migratory monarch butterfly. Wintering in southern California, this big beautiful orange butterfly fills 1( the area forming 'butterfly trees! Insects and spiders utilizing the area have not been studied." Despite the assertions by the developer and its consultants that the Eucalyptus grove is dying, neither the US Fish and Wildlife Service nor the California Department of Fish and Game have ever backed away from their original Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area(ESHA) acreage delineation. This ESHA is not comprised solely of eucalyptus trees; it is an interwoven ecosystem of grasses, shrubs and trees which provide an important habitat for the wildlife of Bolsa Chica. While the past twenty years of debate over the future of Bolsa Chica has resulted in countless studies on wetlands habitat, virtually no resources have been expended on studying the upland habitat. There is adequate evidence in the record to indicate the likelihood of numerous endangered species on 16 the mesa and until such is studied in an environmental impact report it is inappropriate for the City to allow the piecemeal destruction of the Bolsa Chica mesa.

ATTACHMENT NO. THE U?LANDS r GRASSLANDS he-undeveloped portions of the Bolsa Chica and Huntington Beach mesas predominantly grasslands. This is not the natural community, but he results of many years of human disturbance . In fact, portions of he Bolsa Chica mesa were still farmed during the 19701s. The present asslands are mostly vegetated by annual , weedy species. Ripgut brome, oxtail chess, gild oat and barley grasses, wild radish, and Russian histle are quite common. Ice plant has established in some areas. he grasslands provide habitat for many small resident mammals such as ce , poc et gopners , and jack and cottont rabbits. Burrows are yeryw ere. Badgers also reportedly occur. Gartersnakes, kingsnakes, d rattlesnakes are frequently encountered . Insects are numerous. The ost visible members of the community are the birds. Mourning dove, ck dove, house finches, starlings, and meadowlarks forage the fields or insects and seeds. Such species as the house finch, Cassin's ngbird , mourning dove , and meadowlark nest here. Red-tailed hawks, parrow hawks, and white-tailed kites forage over the mesas to feed on he abundant rodent amd insect populations. The raptors and birds also tilize adjacent or nearby sage scrub ruderal . and wetland habitats. abbit Island is the only naturally occurring upland area within the olsa gap. This island was formerly a tertiary sand dune system rdered by extensive , level sandy flats. The typical dune vegetation a no longer present. Instead, soft chess and other grasses redominate. Horseweed or mare's tail and some Baecharis shrubs grow on he dunes to a height of 2 to 6 feet. Potholes lie along the margins of e flats and are filled with wetland vegetation. aunal species of this area are very similar to that found on the mesas. additional species , the red fox, hunts on the dunes and into the etlands. The coyote is also present. 14 TTACHIAENT NO. j, COASTAL SAGE SCnUB t the present time , the coastal saga scrub community is considered the ost threatened upland veaetati•:e type in southern California because of xtensive urban develooments . The southwest bluff of the Bolsa Chica esa is vegetated by this co.---nunit.:. Bladder-pod, California buckwheat , ree tobacco , encelia , goldenoush , telegraph weed, saltbush, prickly ear, and cholla cactus combine to form dense thickets. Many small ucalyptus saplings have become established along the top of the bluff. r- K he sage scrub provides habitat for a variety of insects, lizards, akes, mammals, and birds . Ground squirrels, cottontails, skunks, and ce are commonly sighted in the thickets. Birds observed include erican and lesser goldfinches , cowbirds, bushtits, wrentits, ous-sided towhees , fox sparrows , Bewick's wrens and California quail. rowing owls have also been sighted . Owls, quail , and brown towhees est among the shrubs . I. LANDSCAPED EUCALYPTUS GROVES COO eblue gum eucalyptus groves were reported to be planted on the Bolsa ca mesa and along the base of the southwest bluff by the gur. club aut 1900. The two stands contain mostly large mature trees up to 80 t. tall. Many of the trees in the lower grove, which once extended 1 beyond the base of the mesa , are now dead due to increased soil �i-ities resulting from saltwater intrusion. =eucalyptus grove on the mesa is bordered by grassland and other ental plants.

Similar findings were made during a study of Mugu Lagoon , a Ventura County coastal wetland. The significant productivity was attributed to the constant nutrient recycling in a closed system. There is no lag time in the shallow water lagoons. Primary productivity studies on the emergent vegetation within the diked wetlands of Bolsa Chica have recently been completed. A preliminary look at the data from these studies show that the productivity of the Bolsa Chica wetlands is as high as that of Los Penasquitos wetlands. Differences do occur in that Bolsa Chica has a more diverse vegetative community. The diversity has been attributed to the percolation of ocean waters through the beach strand. The Marsh Reestablishment Project appears to be lessening the productivity of the wetlands included within the new dikes. The area outside the dikes was not studied. These studies, along with the studies of other southern California lagoons, indicate that the term "degraded" should be considered a misnomer when applied to the Bolsa Chica wetlands. No matter how the wetlands function, they are productive. The importance of the mesas in maintaining the productivity of the wetlands is not known. Virtually no work has been done on the interrelationship between southern California coastal wetlands and their associated uplands. The contribution of the uplands to the entire Bolsa Chica ecosystem can now only be described in terms of the habitat it - provides to many mammalian and avian species; For example, the success and oresence of the many birds of prey found in the Bolsa Chic__ a e been attr'but,­'t— the eucPilyntus ¢roves and the extensive foraging areas provided by the mesas and lowlands. 17le—w is nown that terrestial species are interwoven in the food web of etlands ecosystem. �I e�`oundation of a simple wetlands food chain is comprised of microscopic phytoplankton and zooplankton . Healthy marsh waters teem with these organisms which serve as food for many higher forms of life such as the larger planktonic and invertebrate animals that in turn serve as food for fish qnd birds. In those food chains where birds are the top predator , some , like the terns, oelicans, and osprey, feed on fish. Others, . like the shorebirds , probe in the mud flats for bottom-dwelling invertebrates. One large avian predator, the marsh hawk, feeds primarily on small mammals and birds that in turn take their nourishment from plants, insects and other species. 29 ATTACKMENT NO. L . I former destruction of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands, the Service would also recommend denial of any permit that could in any way significantly and adversely affect the Bolsa Chica wetlands . In addition, the Service would seek to stop and remedy all unauthorized dredge and fill activities that are damaging or posing a threat of damage to the aquati and wetland ecosystem. The Corps of Engineers is one of the regulatory agencies for activities in wetlands. Their authorities come from Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act of 1977. The Corps of Engineers-Los Angeles District have only recently established Section 404 jurisdiction over ghat remains of the Bolsa Chica wetlands. Historic actions have allowed large portions of the wetlands to be filled and developed without the necessary and required Corps permits. The Corps must be urged to enforce their authority. Protection and preservation of the entire mesa areas is also desirable for there exists a mutually beneficial ecological relationship between coastal wetlands and their associated upland habitats. This could best be achieved by acquisition either singularly or in combination by a local , State , or Federal acquisition program. If this is not feasible, only development proposals that are sensitive to the ecosystem would be considered.. Plans should protect and aresery he bluff faces of both mesas and the euc yptus groves of the Bolsa Chica mesa. A natural buffer zone o 1Il _me ers should be delineated about these areas. No evelopment o an pe should be allowed in this zone. Tha Service ha: no jurisdiction over these areas except for review of Section 208 planning efforts and local coastal plans. During this review process, the Service should seek maximum protection of the bluffs and the groves. The State of California Coastal Commission does regulate development within the coastal zone. Because of this, the Service would recommend that the State Coastal Commission protect these valuable resources by denying permits which do not provide adequate protection and p eservac_on of the mesa and wetland resources. The State Coastal ccMr2.ss2.on should not issue any permits to develop the area until the coastal zone planning process has been completed. Legislation which aids the Ccastal Commission in protecting the Bolsa Chica centers arounc the Coastal Conservation Act of 1972, Proposition 20. This act calls for a permanent long-range plan be developed for the entire California coast. The California Coastal Act of 1976 specifies basic goals for coastal conservation and development aimed at protecting, enhancing, and restoring coastal environmental quality and resources. The California Coastal Conservancy Act and the Urban and Coastal Park Bond Act were passed to aid in the protection and preservation of the coastal zone. 46 ATTACHINIENT NO. 14:59 DIU. 562 40-?507P- P.01 F AL %ff Date Number of pages inducting cover sheet !

First ,in my original comments I make reference to a document from the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) regarding the size of the eucalyptus grove (raptor) environmentally sensitive habitat area (ESHA) . I have included this document as part of this fax. I have included the first two pages of a letter from the CDFG to Paul Lanning dated 1994 showing that after the DEIR was done for the development of the County land on the Bolsa Chica mesa the DFG still considered the size of the grove to be 20.5 acres despite its reduction in size mentioned in the DER for the project. No one from 17.2 the US Fish and WildlifeService or the California DeP-a-r-t-m-8-n-r-0T7T97T and Game has reduced the size of this ESHA. Indeed, it has only been reduced in size by consultants hired by the developer of the site. This ESHA will be impacted by the construction of the road need for the Sandover development planned on the city land at the Bolsa Chica mesa. This needs to be addressed in an EIR. in my first fetter, I failed to mention the rp esence of the black tailed iackrabbit (Lepus camomicus) on the Bolsa Chica mesa. The black tailed jack rabbit is a sensitive mammal species. The impacts to this animal should be analyzed in an EIR. While the project site has been separated by a chain link fence from the applicant's property in the county, the fence has enough space between the bottom of the fence and the ground that rabbits and other small animals can move back and forth from this property to the I7.3 adjacent property_ In fact, as a condition of the permit granted by the Coastal Commission for the fence it was required that the fence not impede the movement of wildlife.

Please see page 4.7-33 of the DEIR for the Koll project included in this fax. Harriers are a CSC species, surveys done in accordance with California Department of Fish and Game methods should be done to determine if they are using the Sandover project site for hunting, roosting, or nesting. The impacts of development of the site on the harrier as well as all sensitive species should be addressed in an EIR. The DEIR for the Koll Project also reports that the only suitable habitat for the sharp shinned (Accipiter strfatus) and Cooper's hawks, ( Accipiter cooperii) both CSCs, is the eucalyptus grove. ( See page 4.7-33 included with this fax). Are these two species using .the part of the grove slated to be removed to make way for the road into the project site ? Only an appropriate survey done as part of an EiR will answer that question. I7.4 The Swainson's hawk ( Buteo swainsoni) is a California State Threatened Species. This species forages over grasslands. Pete Bloom a noted raptor biologist considers Bolsa Chica an important habitat for this species. (See page 4.7-33 included with this fax). Is the proposed Sandover project site used by this species ? A survey must be done to answer this question. The short eared owl (Asio flammeus) is a CSC which nests in open country. The DEIR for the Koll project indicates potential nesting habitat exists at Bolsa Chica. (See page 4.7-23 from the DEIR included with this fax). Are these owls using the Sandover site? Again, a survey must be done to answer this question. Finally, the San Diego coast homed lizard (Phrynosoma coronatum blainvillei) a Federal Candidate 2 species and a CSC is found in grassland and shrub habitat on the uplands at Bolsa Chica according to the DEiR for the Koll Project. ( See page 4.7-13 I7.5 included with this fax). Is this rare lizard using the grassland habitat on the Sandover project site? We will not know the answer to this question until a survey is done for the site. In additon to the information included in the DEIR 1 am also sending by fax a list of animal species observed by biologist Robert Hamilton on the entire BolsaCh,ica mesa on January 16, 1998 and January s part ot tnis survey Mr. amilton reports seeing the following sensitive species on the mesa: White tailed-kite ( Elanus leucurus), Northern Harrier(Circus cyaneus), Sharp-shinned hawk (Accipiter striatus), Coopers Hawk (Accipiter cooperii), Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia ), Loggerhead Shrike (Lanius ludovicianus) and Black-tailed jackrabbit (Lepus califomicus). I7.6 Since the Sandover site is part of the Bolsa Chica mesa it is logical to assume animals reported using the land in the DEIR for the Koll Project and by Mr. Hamilton will also be found on the similar habitat at the Sandover site. The only way to disprove this assumption is to conduct surveys, at the appropriate time of year and time of day, to ATr C.-WACENT NO. FEB-10-1999 15 01 CERRITCS CCLLEu= D11). 562 467507e P.04 `., determine the presence or absence of these animals. Clearly with so many sensitive species found on the Bolsa Chica mesa it only makes sense to conduct these surveys. I7.6 In light of all the evidence presented in both my letters I fail to see how the City can (con.0 conclude "The project will not result In any loss to endangered or sensitive animal or bird species' as stated on page 9 of the Environmental Checklist. Again, in order to be sure that all of the sensitive species mentioned in both my letters are not using the* Sandover site you must do surveys as part of an EIR document.

U 942A&2M (916) 653-4875 February 18, 1S14 I Mr. Paul Lanning EKA Environmental Planning Division county of orange 300 North Flower Street Santa Ana, California 92702 Dear Mr. Lanning: _ Bolsa Chica Project Environmental Impact Report, Orange County, SCH 93-07064 The Department of Fish and Game has reviewed the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) , and associated appendices, involving the Bolsa Chica Project Local Coastal Program (LCP) , county of Orange. For reasons explained in detail below, we. recommend against county certification of the DEIR at this time. The Preferred Alternative (the "Applicarntls Proposed Project") would result in urban development on approximately 212 acres of grassland, Eucalyptus grove, and agricultural land presently associated with Bolsa Chica Mesa and the County of Orange portion of the Metropolitan Wa-.er District (MWD) property. Further, the Preferred Alternative world result in residential development on approximately 183 acre. of lowland (all of which is feasibly restorable as, highqumlit5 wetland and approximately , p 120 acres of VSXc1resantly fn�ion; as wetland) . Additionally the Preferred Alternative would resul, in Wetland restoration and open space uses on the remaining approximately 1150 acres of lowland, and other residential and paruive uses associated with the remainder of the LCP area (1604 alres) and overall study area (1973.1 acres) . The DEIR also discusc es a Modified Project Alternative, and briefly examines tan distinct "CEQA Alternatives". The subject DEIR incorporates nu;:erous inconsistencies regarding existing and post-project wetland, estuarine subtidal, and environmentally sensitive non-wet.- and habitat area (ESHA) acreages. Similar inconsistencies were involved in the prior 1992 Draft Joint EIR/EIS, for which tJe City of Huntington Beach and the U.S. Army corps of Engineers sunctioned as lead agencies. ATTAr�i ��`N 1 �i�. _.- . .5:01 - E=R,RITCS CCLLE-G= DIU. 562 4675278 P-es Paul Lanning s eb=-uar y 18, 1994 Page Two As an example of a major inconsistency, Table 4.7-5 indicates that there are no existing ESHAs, and Lhe explanatory footnote indicates that existing and post-project ESHAS "are included in other habitat acreages above" . In returning to the table, we find that, of the ESHA types described by the Department in our 1982 ESHA report (Novick, Radovich) , the table reports 1.3 acres of existing Baccharis Scrub, 20.5 acres of existing Dune, and 7.5 acres of Eucalyptus/Exotic Trees, or a total of 29.3 acres. Our ESHA report, on the other hand, describes a total of 86.8 acres of ESHA composed of 13.6 acres of dune along Pacific Coast Highway; 20.5 acres of eucalXRtus ove _ Qn and immediately adjacent to an ov 80 �e a (this area ys fairly narrow s approximately 2/3 of a mile long) ; the 1.7- acre Warner Avenue Pond; and 51-acre Rabbit Island (a combination of 3.6 acres of wetlands, and 42.4 acres of what may be: most conveniently described as "tertiary dunes" stabilized by $accharis scrub, grassland, and dune vegetation) . inasmuch as we identified 10.3 acres of wetland above the 5-foot MSL contour in our ESHA report (1.7-acre Warner Avenue Pond and 8. 6 acres associated with Rabbit Island) , it follows that we identified 76.5 acres of terrestrial ESSA. These 76.5 acres of existing terrestrial ESHA are not adequately reflected by Table 4.7-5, nor are they adequately discussed in the accompanying text regarding the Preferred Alternative, nor are they adequately accounted for in discussions of any of the other alternatives discussed by the subject DEIR. Moreover, Table 4.7-5 indicates post-project terrestrial acreages which appear to be inconsistent with maintenance of the 76.5 acres of terrestrial ESHA identified by this Department. Further, inasmuch as certain errors are incorporated into the pre- and post-project terrestrial habitat acreages of Table 4.7-5 (at least regarding portrayal of FSHA acreages) , the "net loss or gain" column is inaccurate, and the implication that ESHA acreage is increased by 17.9 acres is incorrect. This lack of clarity regarding the fate of ESHA acreage identified by the Department extends throughout the subject document and to all of the 11 other alternatives discussed. Lastly, the significant reliance upon the Huntington Beach Mesa as an area in which to produce compensatory ESHA does not adequately consider the potential incompatibility of the proposed linear park and the habitat values associated with the compensatory EMM acreage. Similarly, Table 4.7-5 indicates existing areas of ecological communities which may be characterized as waters of the United States. These areas total 900.9 acres. However, the text of the DEIR repeatedly acknowledges the use of the most--- recently amended EPA determination of 919 acres of waters of the United States. This 18.1-acre discrepancy is then incorporated into the "net gain or loss" column as an overstatement of gain and/or as an understatement of loss. Similar errors are incorporated into all twelve project designs discussed by the DEIR. :�I T.ti�h''M fv'I i��C�. ,ENSI:rVE.

Associate Planner Planning Department City-of Huntington Beach 18 Dear Mr. Carvalho, I write this letter as a biologist and educator at Cypress College. It represents my personal and professional opinion and judgments and does not represent the position of Cypress College. I became acquainted with the Bolsa Chica mesa and wetlands twenty-five years ago. I continue to regularly visit the area with my biology students today. The Bolsa Chica ecosystem, which includes the wetlands and the mesa, is a wonderful educational resource_ I8 from which my students and I have benefited greatly over the years. Consequently, I want to register my objection to the preparation of a "A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION". It is my personal and professional judgment that the proposed development project MAY have a significant impact on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT should be required and needs to be prepared. Endangered species, species of special concern and C2 species have been sighted in or near the proposed project area. David S. Kossack, Ph. D, consulting biologist, (see attachment) during a survey conducted in June of 1992, found evidence of at least three I8 nesting territories of the Loggerhead Shrike, a C2 species. He also noted another C2 species, the blacktailed rabbit, as did Robert Hamilton, consulting biologist, on a survey in January of 1998(for the full text of this survey, see Paul Horgan's letter). The white tailed kite, a species of special concern, as well as the endangered peregrine falcon use eucalyptus trees at the project site for roosting, hunting and perching. These P ave been designated by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) asan l�vironmentally Sensitive Area (ESHA). The proposed project plans It to remove these trees. Other birds of prey (Cooper's hawk, red-shouldered hawk, red- tailed hawk, American kestral, great-horned owls and barn owls) also use this ESHA.

The California horned lark, I8,3 a C2 species, nests on the mesa. Surveys to determine if these critical species are found in cont the project area and an EIR to determine what impacts the project will have on these important species need to be done. Monarch butterflies have been sighted on the mesa. CDFG gives protection to trees in which monarchs aggregate. Coastal eucalyptus in very similar habitat to those on the project site are known to be used for night-time aggregation and for food. The trees which I8.4 the project plan has designated for removal need to be studied to determine if they are used by the monarchs. The Pacific Pocket mouse, an endangered (and thought to be extinct) species has been discovered in similar habitat in Dana Point. US Fish and Wildlife has stated that the Bolsa I8.5 Chica mesa contains the appropriate soil type and habitat for this endangered species and yet no surveys for this species have been conducted at the project site. The Environmental Checklist (page 9) states that the "project will not result in any loss to endangered or sensitive animal or bird species". I challenge the validity of this statement based on the information mentioned above. Another point of objection to this project relates to the legal status of the other proposed project on the Bolsa Chica mesa on I8.6 which the San Diego Appellate court is expected to make a ruling within the next three months. The court could require that the development be resubmitted to the California Coastal Commission. It would appear prudent to wait until after the courts ruling to proceed with development on this contiguous property. In summary, it is my opinion that a EIR needs to be performed for this project.

Substantial evidence exists supporting a fair argument that this project may have a significant adverse impact upon the environment, therefore, preparation of an EIR is mandatory. I have attached pages from a 1979 US Fish and Wildlife Service report on the Bolsa Chica area which highlights the importance of the Bolsa Chica mesa and indicates the presence of diverse species which utilize the area proposed for the project. According to this report,the eucalyptus groves are "important to many songbirds, raptors, and mammals...Many of the birds feed and nest in or near the blue gum habitat." The report continues, "One of the more dramatic visitors to the blue gums is the migratory monarch butterfly. Wintering in southern California, this big beautiful orange butterfly fills the area forming 'butterfly trees.' Insects and spiders utilizing the area have not been studied." Despite the assertions by the developer and its consultants that the Eucalyptus grove is dying, neither the US Fish and Wildlife Service nor the California Department of Fish and Game have ever backed away from their original Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area(ESHA) acreage delineation. This ESHA is not comprised solely of eucalyptus trees; it is an interwoven ecosystem of grasses, shrubs and trees which provide an important habitat for the wildlife of Bolsa Chica. While the past twenty years of debate over the future of Bolsa Chica has resulted in countless studies on wetlands habitat, virtually no resources have been expended on studying the upland habitat. There is adequate evidence in the record to indicate the likelihood of numerous endangered species on I. the mesa and until such is studied in an environmental impact report it is inappropriate for the City to allow the piecemeal destruction of the Bolsa Chica mesa.

I realize that in 1973 the site was determined to be "radically disturbed" and to have a low artifact yield and because of this was determined not to contain important information regarding California prehistory. However, the determination that this site is not significant was made over a quarter of a century ago when there were numerous archaeological sites in the area, archaeological research tended to focus on artifact typology, and the technological advances of today's archaeological research were not available. I11.1 Since that time thousands of archaeological sites have been destroyed due to modern development and in the next 50 years, it is probable that there will be very few remaining. Also, since that time, new technological developments have given archaeologists the ability to address a whole new set of important questions including the relationship between humans and the environment, diet and nutrition, and settlement and subsistence patterns. These questions can be addressed through the excavation and analysis of even a small area of intact shell midden (shell, bone, and other materials resulting from prehistoric human activities). According to the Pacific Coast Archaeological Society Quarterly Vol. 4(3) 1968, the site is describe as "another extensive shell midden" with dimensions estimated at 200 by 1000 meters. Given that size, there is a high probability that some intact cultural deposits and even archaeological features, such as hearths remain intact. I11.2 In light of the tremendous losses of significant archaeological sites that have occurred and the potential for the site to address important questions, I recommend that the site be tested and reevaluated. If significant cultural deposits remain, preservation alternatives should be considered per CEQA, such as burial of the core area of the site following current guidelines for archaeological preservation and used as an open space or parking lot within the development.

REcEf�E� Wayne Carvalho 2-9-99 o FEB 0 1999 HunBoxt190ton Beach Planning Dept. EPqRThfENT pfiPCgNN,NG Huntington Beach CA 92648 P6 Dear Mr Carvalho: I oppose the plan to build 17 homes on the Mesa, next to Los Patos Lane. When the predecessor of Hearthside homes, the Koll Co., did demolition in the area they damaged some wetland areas then apologized to the Corps. of Engineers and said it was in error. Next they damaged the Sensitive Habitat Area, ORA 86, and claimed, in part, that also P6.1 was error. The amount of Native American remains on the site, a significant subject if there are sufficient bones to change the status of the site to a burial ground, has never been adequately addressed. There were unanswered questions regarding the objectivity of the archeological team on the site as well as the Native American expert. At the time, the damage had been done, additional work was not planned at the time, and there was no penalty that could be meted out so it was dropped. Now comes the "camel's nose under the tent.' The eucalyptus grove which has been partially destroyed by the artificial channeling of salt water and fresh water can still be saved and restored. The developers would like us to believe that they are innocents in that destruction, however, they have a symbiotic relationship with those that did the drilling there for 70 years. Because of Koll's relationship with the oil companies, (And Hearthside and too many other company names to mention here.) the oil companies are not being held responsible for total P6.2 restoration. Someone should be. To say that homes will not affect that fragile place is not realistic. Look how the bird life moved to the north end of the mesa since the oil spill in the channel last fall. It has been as dramatic a migration as I've seen of wildlife in the 25 years I've lived there. Those birds moved because of commotion created by the humans trying to clean the oil spill. The egrets movement can be instantly seen but what of the other wildlife that cannot be seen. Drive by and look at how the birds stay behind the fence so they can avoid human contact. What happens when the homes come. The developer will point out that the fence will still be there...but for how long ? Once the "camel's nose gets a "nosehold" the balance of that ecosystem will be history. The environmental check list I reviewed for this planned project seems to have overlooked several potential problem areas. P6.3 The developer found no problem for "Transportation/Circulation;' yet entrance to Los Patos from Warner was blocked several years ago to reduce the traffic risks to the residents. Why is that no longer important ? The developer admits a little impact on "Cultural Resources." Are we to forget the pleadings �P6.4 of our Native American community ? The developer admits a little impact to "Biological Resources" such as heritage trees but P6.5 completely overlooks wetland habitat, wildlife dispersal, and threatened species of flora and fauna. 1 of 2 e�TYACHNIENT' iNv. There was no check on "Population and Housing." The existing homes on Los Patos have an ocean view and, perhaps more importantly, an "ocean sound." That is an important part of . the lifestyle. It's a fact that people enjoy the sound of the ocean & pay extra to have that P6.6 feature. This project will remove both of those things. Doesn't the city owe something to the residents who already reside here ? There was no check for "Geologic Problems." Other geologists oppose building on the Mesa saying the developer has used an example of one kind of earthquake to justify P6.7 construction while overlooking several other kinds of quakes that could do serious damage. For "Water" there was a "Less than significant" check, yet the absorption rate will change, there will be discharge of slightly toxic, or worse, surface water, there will be impact to P6.8 groundwater. They admitted there would be a little impact on "Public Services." Well, recent studies said that if 1,250 homes were built on the mesa it would just about be a break even on public services. I imagine that some of the economies of scale would be lost with just 17 homes. P6.9 Similarly, there was an admission of a little impact on "Utilities and Services." HB is no different from any other So. Cal in juggling the problems of water supply, sewer and refuse removal, etc. We know the costs of these services are going to skyrocket. Have we really done accurate projections for future costs ? Under "Aesthetics"the developer admitted there would be a potentially significant problem. They went on to say that the site is not located along any scenic highway ? I disagree. Pacific Coast Highway, by its very name is a scenic highway and not just looking P6.10 westward. Looking at the wetlands and the bluffs behind them has a tranquilizing affect on many motorists. To say that homes on the Mesa will not affect that tranquility is less than accurate. Perhaps the most disingenuous statement was under "Mandatory Findings of Significance." To say that the project does not have the potential to degrade the quality of environment, substantially reduce the habitat of fish or wildlife, and would not eliminate important examples of major periods of California history, or prehistory if patently untrue. Yes, under another P6.11 name, the developer already destroyed 8,000 to 10,000 year old cogstone sites, but there are others still buried, and should the developer be exonerated from past actions by a name change ? We deserve to see an objective E1R on this plan. Bill Halpin - 17182 Marina View, Htg Beach 714-846-7446 Fax 562-424-4134 Wayne Carvalho. Associate Planner February 9, 1999 City of Huntington Beach Planning Department E C E I V E D P.O. Box 190 Huntington Beach, CA 92648 P7 FEB � 9 1999 Dear Mr. Carvalho: '�,�`NT OF PLANNING I am writing to you to submit my comments regarding the "Draft mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98- 11 Sandover(17-Unit Subdivision)". I have reviewed the Environment Assessment No. 98-11 and have the following comments: 1. Page 2, Water, Biological Resources, and Recreation are not checked as being potentially affected by the development. Water would certainly be impacted both in the fact that new water lines would have to be created to provide water for the development. You currently show these water lines going across Los Patos. Would these be sufficient for the whole community or would more have to be dug through the adjacent open space? If so, this causes a dramatic negative impact on the adjacent wilderness. Water from the city resources would certainly be drained. Although it is only 17 units—this would still have a significant impact on the city water resources. Furthermore, if the landowners are planning to try to get the entire MESA developed one 17-unit development at a time this certainly would have a LARGE impact on the area. Although you may be able to look at it in small increments, I feel this is unfair and very short-sited. As far as biological resources are concerned, I am certain that you have not considered the White-tailed(black- P7. shouldered) kites that have mated and nested in the adjacent Eucalyptus trees there for at least the last 5 years that I have lived there. Why do you think they nest in a very small-dilapidated Eucalyptus grove instead of in the hundreds of very healthy trees throughout the city parks system? The answer is quite simple, privacy and food source. The MESA where the landowners would like to now develop, one tiny 17-unit development at a time is home to countless rodents, reptiles, and mammals that provide a food source for the kites to provide food for their young. The area also provides a buffer between the noise and clamor of civilization. No cars, no lawnmowers, leafblowers, weedkillers, pesticides, large pedestrian traffic to bother a nesting bird. All of which ARE in the Huntington Beach City parks, which have very nice nesting trees but no food or privacy. Finally, I find it negligent not to consider the recreation source this area has provided and could provide to the countless joggers, birdwatchers, horse-riders and others who have enjoyed the area(illegally or not) for its wildness over the years. This area could provide both a wonderful preserve for the birds and a wonderful escape for the rest of us animals cooped up in city life. 2. Page 4, Land Use and Planning. I have heard that this whole area was designated by the city of Huntington Beach as open space or wetlands about 20 years ago and suddenly somehow it wasn't any longer. I would like to know the truth on this. Also, I think a ruling should be made by the California Coastal Commission and the Department of Fish and Wildlife (Game) on the need for this land both as a wildlife preserve and as a buffer for wildlife both in the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and outer Bolsa Bay. You can't expect to rope an area off and keep the wildlife within it while P7.: the city comes right up to the edge. The Nature Conservancy and other environmental oreanizations have discovered the need to preserve wildlife corridors with buffer zones and have shown that when we rope off an area—the species within it, specifically the sensitive and endangered ones do not survive. The clapper rail is one species that comes to mind. The Northern pintail duck is another species that I have personally seen in the seasonal ponds just west of the proposed development. Why do you think they nest there in spring instead of the rest of the Bolsa Chica wetlands, which are not seasonal and are in better shape'? Only one thing comes to mind again— PRIVACY. Distance from the sounds and poisons of civilization. Distance from P7 people's pets who stalk the animals and their young. Distance from cars, lawnmowers, and other i(cor machinery that disturb them. There can be no other reason. The rest of the wetlands are in much better shape —but are NOT PRIVATE. Please reconsider the environmental impact. 3. I have also seen mating red-tailed hawks next to the proposed development. Northern Harriers, � White-Tailed (Black-Shouldered)Kites, and American Kestrels hunting on the meadows the proposed development land provides. At dusk I have seen Great-horned Owls and Barn owls hunting over the meadows provided by the currently vacant land. I have seen the California blue- throated lizard(I am not sure of the exact name), I have seen snakes rodents, beetles, bugs and other animals enjoying this wild habitat that you do not find in the many public parks that are not wild. I have seen Western Kingbirds, Red-winged blackbirds, Says phoebes, Black phoebes, Downey Woodpeckers, Northern Flickers, a Merlin, a Peregrine Falcon, 2 male Vermilion Flycatchers, California Towhees, countless Anna's and Allen's hummingbirds, Spotted Doves, P7.: Osprey, Great Egrets and Great-blue herons feeding in the area when it rains, and countless other rare and not so rare bird species. The point is, you don't see these birds and animals in Huntington Beach City Parks, you don't see many of these animals in the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. The reason you don't is simple—Privacy, the wild habitat provided by the meadows on the MESA. You say on the bottom of page 4 that this area is not designated in a habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. Well where in Huntington Beach is? Are we going to pave over or sod over every patch of the city until we have a beautifully pristine and sterile landscape where we only have urban species—crows,pigeons, starlings, and skunks? Is this what- I and the rest of the community have to look forward to? Have you asked the people? Is this what they want? I really doubt it for the countless numbers I have seen out walking in this area and others in the Bolsa Chica MESA. I doubt they want it developed. Please just leave us our open space, leave the animals their open space, leave us and them some sanity. 4. Page 7 you state that the proposed development would create a less than significant impact to "Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants." Does this mean you do not believe that nesting birds such as the White-Tailed(Black-Shouldered)Kites, Northern Pintails and Red-tailed Hawks are not sensitive to the excess emission from poorly and UNREGULATED construction equipment with very highly polluting combustion engines? Please check the regulations with the EPA and the State of California Air Resources Board. You will find most construction equipment is EXEMPT from environmental regulations on exhaust emissions. Any regulations placed on them are for the safety of the operators in enclosed spaces, not the safety of nearby sensitive species. Does this mean you believe the nesting and nearby birds are not sensitive to the dust stirred up by P7.4 the development. AIso not included in this report is the noise disturbance to these nesting animals. Even when not nesting, these birds and the other resident animals will be affected and probably die or if they are lucky leave due to the increase in noise, pesticides, predation by pets, and increased carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides both during and after construction due to both construction equipment and civilization that would now be present in the animals homes and feeding area. Trust me— they will not survive this. Is this the price we must pay so some developer can get rich? I don't see how Huntington Beach can profit from this since the property taxes will not even approach the costs to build and maintain roads, emergency services, street lights, police services, power, schools, water, and other needs for the new development. And it will not compensate the people of Huntington Beach for the loss of open space and wilderness nor ATTACHMENT NO. Will it replace the loss of habitat for the animals, or the lives of the animals that will undoubtedly P7, die in the construction particularly the rodents and lizards that have their homes in the meadow. (con 5. On page 9 under Biological Resources you miss all of the points I have stated previously. The development will take homes from wildlife. The development will take food sources for nesting and resident birds. I believe the nesting White-tailed (Black-shouldered) kites are unique to this area, as are the Great-horned owls, the Vermilion Flvcatchers and the Peregrine Falcon. Also, the endangered birds that inhabit the nearby wetlands and lowlands «-ill be disturbed by the close proximity of the development, its people, its machines, and its predator pets. The MESA, the piece that the proposed development will pave over is within the Pacific Flyway for migratory birds, some which rely on the MESA as a nesting ground or food-source and some of which rely on the MESA as a buffer to provide them quiet in the lowlands and wetlands. This fact cannot be P7.� ignored. The wildland meadows provided by the MESA are unique in the area. I have been in both the Harriet M. Wieder Regional Park (IN Huntington Beach) and the Bolsa Chica MESA. The MESA by far provides a more preserved meadow for the wildlife. I make this statement because I have seen the Great-horned owls, kites, hawks, kestrels, falcons, and woodpeckers on the Bolsa Chica MESA, where the proposed development would be, and I have not seen them in the Harriet M. Wieder Regional Park. These are the only two such meadows I know of in the area. Please see the above for the remainder of my comments on the impact of development on the species in this area. 6. Page 10—Hazards. I think you forgot to include the hazards to the w ldlife posed by the introduction of fertilizers, pesticides and all sorts of lawn care items that people will undoubtedly use on their yards in the proposed development. In addition, household cleaners, driveway cleaners, automotive cleaners and fluids such as coolant, and other chemicals will also be used in the proposed development. And finally there is the hazard posed by people's dogs and cats and other pets roaming P7,6 throughout the remaining wild areas adjacent to the proposed development. Dogs and cats, hunt, harass, and threaten birds, rodents, lizards, snakes, and wild mammals that are now present in this area. In addition, the mere act of developing the area will destroy the homes of several rodent, lizards, mammals, and nesting birds (sparrows, blackbirds, hummingbirds, phoebe's) and in the process kill many of these animals and birds that cannot leave or will not leave because of babies present. 7. Page 11 —Utilities and Service systems. As I have said previously, all of these new systems pose threats through noise and chemical exposure to animals and birds in the area and adjacent lands. In P7.7 addition, all of these services will cost the existing Huntington Beach residents increased taxes and deplete our limited resources. In addition sewage spills can cause dramatic affects on the existing adjacent wildlife. 8. Page 13 —Recreation—As I have said previously, illegal or not, people have used this land for recreation including walking, running, bird-watching, horse-back riding, and simple escape from P7.8 civilization. I don"t think you should look lightly upon this impact. The residents need some open I space. Society needs a place to escape. 9. Page 13 —Mandatory Findings of Significance. As I have also stated previously, this is a significant nesting ground for birds and mammals, some rare and threatened. This is also a feeding ground for P7.9 several bird species. This is significant and you cannot ignore it. There are several people who have documented the fact that the White-tailed(Black-Shouldered) Kite has nested in the adjacent land an T TACHMENT NO. , fed on this land for the last five years or more. I have personally seen the kites and hawks mating. I have seen the Great-homed Owls and Northern Harriers, and American Kestrels feeding. Development will kill these birds and other animals and drive many others away. To where I do not know. There is no where else in the vicinity that provides this type of meadow habitat. Also in this section you claim that the project does not have the potential to achieve short-term goals at the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals. Again, I challenge you to check with the California Coastal Commission and Department of Fish and Game (wildlife). I challenge you to ask the citizens P7 of Huntington Beach and the surrounding communities that enjoy this land as a wilderness. You must (co Iook at the long-term goals of the landowners and developers. You may be asked to look at one 17- Unit development right now, but I assure you, their long-term goal is to development the entire Bolsa Chica MESA area. THIS will have a dramatic impact on destroying wildlife,wildlife habitat,driving off threatened species (to who knows where) and degrading the quality of life for the citizens of this community. All while costing the taxpayers more money to provide services to this new community and dtplete the existing resources. I implore you to look into the log-range goals of the landowner and developer and that impact on this area. Are we the community supposed to be locked in this concrete jungle and the unnatural sterility of public parks? Please, consider the sanity of the residents of this community. Consider our needs for open space and wildlife. Consider the wildlife. Most of all consider the impact of development on the local community. Impacts such as excess burdens on-water sources that residents pay for(not developers). Impacts on city resources such as power, lighting, emergency services,roads, sidewalks, and schools,all of which the citizens pay for and not the developers. Development does not help anyone but the _ developers and puts a great financial burden and traffic impact on the local community. I don't-wish to pay to destroy the only precious open space around or to pay for some developer to get rich. We must P7. find some way to preserve this land and compensate the owners for their investment. I would rather my tax dollars be spent on this than for traffic circles, plants in the islands or other unnecessary "beautification" projects. As one last point, we are destroying most of the stop-offs in the Pacific Flyway for migratory birds. I think we should stop before we destroy them all. The Bolsa Chica wetlands and MESA are one of these we can still preserve. Sinc rely, Aimee M.

Box 190 Huntington Beach, CA 92648 RE: Proposed Sandover Project at corner of Los Patos & Bolsa Chica Road. Dear Mr. Carvalho: This is to point out that there are many questions regarding the environmental impacts of the proposed Sandover project. The area in question is a site where it is commonplace to see raptors flying overhead and perching on the adjacent trees. Environmentally sensitive birds such as Northern Harriers, White-tailed Kites, Peregrine Falcons, as well as a multitude of other raptors and birds, are seen in the vicinity on a daily basis. P8.1 Enclosed, please find color copies of photographs taken in the area just last week. One is a photo of a pair of perched White-tailed Kites. The other photo shows a Northern Harrier flying overhead near the proposed Sandover site. These raptors need a large habitat area to hunt their food. The development of this area would endanger their ability to survive there, as there is very little open space left. More study needs to be done on the impact the project would have on the environment. I P8.2 Thank you for your time and consideration of this important matter.

Specifically, this document does not adequately describe the Biological Resources of the site, page 9. It does not describe sensitive bird species or their habitat. I personally observed a Burrowing Owl, a sensitive bird species, on this site, on January 16, 1998. 1 was in the company of Nancy Donovan and Robert A Hamilton, who wrote a report entitled: "Subject: Animal Species Observed at Bolsa Chica Mesa", dated January 26, 1998, attached. This bird was moving from spot to spot, including the land on the Sandover project. The presence of P9.2 this bird as a fall and winter resident or a breeding resident should be ascertained with directed spring surveys in a manner consistent with California Department of Fish and Game policy, as recommended by the Hamilton report. Robert Hamilton co-authored the book: Birds of Orange County. Status and Distribution, Robert A. Hamilton, Douglas R. Willick, 1996. The Burrowing Owl is a species which is disappearing from Orange County through loss of habitat. In addition, the trees on this property actually are part of a larger habitat, the ESHA (Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area) on the Bolsa Chica Mesa, which the Department of Fish and Game has described in the past as comprising 20 P9.3 acres. These trees as a whole provide habitat for raptors, including the sensitive species White-tailed Kite. I observed a pair of these birds in this ESHA on January 16, 1998. The status of this ESHA should be described in a full EIR, bceir99 1 %,TTACHIMENT NC- JAN D.

Moreover, other documentation exists that shows the property, as part of the Bolsa Chica Mesa, to have historically significant vegetation, namely upland grasslands and Eucalyptus grove. Enclosed is the "U.S. Fish And Wildlife P9.4 Service Special Report", 1979. The December 11, 1981 Memorandum from the Dept. of Fish and Game, enclosed, mentions environmentally sensitive areas in upland areas adjacent to the lowlands. The February 17, 1994 letter from the USFWS to Mr. Thomas Mathews concerning the Bolsa Chica EIR 551 is enclosed. This letter mentions bird surveys on the Bolsa Chica Mesa (ERS 1993). Page 3 of this letter recommends P9.5 focused surveys for the Federally Endangered Pacific pocket mouse which may be found on the Bolsa Chica Mesa. The Sandover project is on the Bolsa Chia Mesa. Other sources for biological information of the Bolsa Chica Mesa that should be analyzed for historically significant vegetation include "Bolsa Chica 1970- P9.6 1992: Status of Habitats Over The Past 20 Years, by Keith Macdonald, et al. October 30, 1992, cover page and References Cited pages enclosed. Wetland habitat should also be investigated because a vernal pool has been found nearby on the Bolsa Chica Mesa near Los Patos and Lynn Street. The Army Corps of Engineers should be contacted regarding this vernal pool. A report should address the possibility of a vernal pool on the Sandover site, because of its close proximity to this vernal pool and the same soil conditions. P9.7 Wetland habitat should be investigated because of the variety of wetland habitats that are found on the Bolsa Chica Mesa, on which the Sandover project lies. The Bolsa Chica Mesa includes pocket wetlands, vernal pool, and saltwater marsh at Warner Pond. Under Section XIV. Cultural Resources, a Potentially Significant Impact to Archeological Resources should be addressed in an EIR.

Under Section XVI. Mandatory Findings of Significance, Potentially Significant adverse impacts to wildlfe habitats, rare species of animals, and major periods of California prehistory may occur from the project, so a full EIR should be prepared. Also, since the County LCP for Bolsa Chica does not have p9.9 certification due to litigation, issues such as preservation of the ESHA may include the habitat on this property, so this project may have a cumulatively considerable impact that warrants more thorough review with an EIR that takes into account the final certification of the Bolsa Chica LCP by the Coastal Commission. In addition, the public has traversed this area for decades, in their passive recreational activities of hiking, strolling, bird watching and quiet relaxation. P9.10 Therefore, the public has acquired rights in the subject property through the doctrine of implied dedication. The subject property is a historically significant property based on its inclusion within the Bolsa Chica area, being part of the Bolsa Chica Mesa adjacent to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands, including historically significant P9.11 vegetation, archeologic resources, and public implied dedication rights.

However, the information contained in this report will be used by the FWS during ,- investigations conducted under the authority of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act.

ATTACH L_NT NO _ vk . ,tj� w �'- B NATURAL RESOURCE VALUES T.B. Talbert, a local historian, described the Bolsa Chica as once a vast estuarine-riparian ecosystem. The freshwater areas supported a _ dense growth of bulrush, cattails, willows, sycamores, and other wetland vegetation. A vast salt marsh supported cordgrass flats separated by tidal channels, mudflats, and bay waters. The mesas were covered by coastal sage scrub. The Bolsa Chica was described as one of the greatest natural habitats for wildlife and gamebirds in the world. Ducks, geese , snipe, coots, plovers, doves, killdeer,, egrets, herons, gulls, pelicans, landbirds, and waterfowl of every kind and description - varied their flights from ocean to marsh, from marsh to swamp, from swamp to grainfields, and from grainfields to ocean again to feed on a diverse variety of food items. Birds were seen by the thousands so thick in flight as to almost eclipse the sun. Deer, coyote, fox, rabbits, raccoons, and ground squirrels were plentiful. Fish and shellfish abounded in estuarine and/or freshwater habitats. 12 1 - - The Bolsa Chica is no longer a wilderness . Several species are no longer found here and other species occur in small numbers , their existence being incompatible with extensive human development. A century of change has left its mark upon the land, and many of the former resident populations can never be reestablished . To the --, untrained observer, only the degraded nature of the land would be recognized, certainly not the pristine environs conjectured with "fish 1 and wildlife" . Despite development, an extremely valuable habitat remains for a surprisingly diverse array of life forms. The importance of the area for 'wintering waterfowl and shorebirds has been well documented. In addition, several rare, threatened, and endangered species feed, rest and-/or nest here. Of equal importance is the habitat the Bolsa Chica provides to raptors and predatory mammals. Both groups can commonly be observed resting and foraging on the mesas and in the lowlands. - - Resident birds and mammals live, breed, and raise their young here. The 1 many birds and mammals which figure prominently at the top of food chains visibly indicate the vigor and viability of the entire ecosystem. A diverse assemblage of plant community types remain. The upland communities are characterized by classical floristic assemblages which include grassland, southern coastal sage scrub, and the coastal strand. Man's modifications are indicated by the presence of ruderal vegetation and landscaped eucalyptus groves. The wetlands are defined 'by a new classification system developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the National Wetlands Inventory 1 Project. The structure of this classification is hierarchical , progressing from component systems at the most general level to classes, subclasses, and dominance types. Modifiers can be applied to each division as appropriate. Using this system, the great diversity and many gradations within wetlands can be delineated with considerable detail. For this report, the discussions and mapping will be broadly classified on the basis of wetland types that are easily recognizable in the field and that appear to have a high degree of uniformity in species composition. The marine systems are not included in the discussion. Additionally, fish and wildlife resources that occupy these communities are documented. Common names are used throughout the text; however, species lists which includes the scientific names are provided in the appendices. 1� ATTACH'rvi i1T NO. I THE UPLANDS I. GRASSLANDS The undeveloped portions of the Bolsa Chica and Huntington Beach mesas �-� are predominantly grasslands. This is -not the natural community, but the results of many years of human disturbance. In fact, portions of the Bolsa Chica mesa were still farmed during the 19701s. The present grasslands are mostly vegetated by annual , weedy species. Ripgut brome, foxtail chess, wild oat and barley grasses, wild radish, and Russian thistle are quite common. Ice plant has established in some areas. The grasslands provide habitat for many small resident mammals such as mice , pocket gophers, and jack and cottontail rabbits. Burrows are everywhere. Badgers also reportedly occur. Gartersnakes, kingsnakes, ►- � and rattlesnakes are frequently encountered . Insects are numerous. The most visible members of the community are the birds. Mourning dove, rock dove, house finches, starlings, and meadowlarks forage the fields for insects and seeds. Such species as the house finch, Cassin's 1 kingbird , mourning dove , and meadowlark nest here . Red-tailed hawks, sparrow hawks, and white-tailed kites forage over the mesas to feed on the abundant rodent amd insect populations. The raptors and birds also utilize adjacent or nearby sage scrub, ruderal, and wetland habitats. Rabbit Island is the only naturally occurring upland area within the Bolsa gap. This island was formerly a tertiary sand dune system bordered by extensive, level sandy flats. The typical dune vegetation is no longer present. Instead, soft chess and other grasses 1 predominate. Horseweed or mare's tail and some Baccharis shrubs grow on --JJJI the dunes to a height of 2 to 6 feet. Potholes lie along the margins of the flats and are filled with wetland vegetation. 1 Faunal species of this area are very similar to that found on the mesas, --� An additional species, the red fox, hunts on the dunes and into the wetlands. The coyote is also present. -1 l.ri L 14 1 ATTAC ;ILE N T N0. _ . II . COASTAL SAGE SCRUB At the present time , the coastal sage scrub community is considered the most threatened upland vegetative type in southern California because of extensive urban developments. The southwest bluff of the Bolsa Chiea mesa is vegetated by this community. Bladder-pod, California buckwheat, tree tobacco , encelia , goldenbush, telegraph weed , saltbush, prickly pear, and cholla cactus combine to form dense thickets. Many small eucalyptus saplings have become established along the top of the bluff. , • Y r id '• J 1 The sage scrub provides habitat for a variety of insects, lizards, snakes, mammals, and birds. Ground squirrels, cottontails, skunks, and mice are commonly sighted in the thickets. Birds observed include American and lesser goldfinches, cowbirds, bushtits, wrentits, rufous-sided towhees, fox sparrows, Bewick's wrens and California quail. Burrowing owls have also been sighted. Owls, quail , and brown towhees nest among the shrubs. III . LANDSCAPED EUCALYPTUS GROVES The blue gum eucalyptus groves were reported to be planted on the Bolsa Ch-ica mesa and along the base of the southwest bluff by the gun club about 1900. The two stands contain mostly large mature trees up to 80 feet tall. Many of the trees in the lower grove, which once extended well beyond the base of the mesa, are now dead due to increased soil halinities resulting from saltwater intrusion. The eucalyptus grove on the mesa is bordered by grassland and other ornamental plants. Canary Island date palms and cultivated lilies are the most obvious exotic species. Cattails and some spiny rush now grow where a leak in the irrigation system occurred. The lower blue gum J 15 ATTACH;yArNT NO. /1 ti r grove which lies between a roadway and the wetlands is bordered by coastal sage scrub vegetation, wild celery and ruderals. Sea purslane interarades between the grove and the wetlands. The groves are important to many song birds, raptors, and mammals. Opossums are frequently sighted and have been trapped in the groves. Mice, ground squirrels, and skunks frequent the densely littered understory. The high trees provide ideal roosting for raptors. Red-tailed hawks, marsh hawks, red-shouldered hawks, sparrow hawks, Cooper hawks , sharp-shinned hawks, and white-tailed kites are common. The peregrine falcon, golden eagle, and bald eagle occasionally roost in ' 1 the .groves and/or forage nearby. Many of the birds feed and nest in or near the blue gum habitat. Brown towhees, red-shafted flickers, crows, ravens, Bullock's orioles, house finches and red-winged blackbirds nest here. The trees historically served as a heron rookery; raptors also once nested here. Common visitors to the groves include black-chinned hummingbirds, Anna' s hummingbirds , ash-throated flycatchers, Audubon's warblers, white-crowned sparrows, and starlings. One of the more dramatic visitors to the blue gums is the migratory monarch butterfly. Wintering in southern California, this big beautiful orange butterfly fills the area forming "butterfly trees." Insects and spiders utilizing the area have not been studied. r 16 i , AT (DA"1ivil 1 0. _ t / I Similar findings were made during a study of Mugu Lagoon, a Ventura County coastal wetland. The significant productivity was attributed to the constant nutrient recycling in a closed system. There is no lag Y time in the shallow water lagoons. Primary productivity studies on the emergent vegetation within the diked wetlands of Bolsa Chica have recently been completed. A preliminary look at the data from these studies show that t'^e productivity of the Bolsa Chica wetlands is as high as that of Los Penasquitos wetlands. Differences do occur in that Bolsa Chica. has a more diverse vegetative community. The diversity has been attributed to the percolation of ocean waters through the beach strand. The Marsh Reestablishment Project appears to be lessening the productivity of the wetlands included within the new dikes. The area outside the dikes was not studied. These studies, along with the studies of other southern California lagoons, indicate that the term "degraded" should be considered a misnomer when applied to the Bolsa•Chica wetlands. No matter how the wetlands function, they are productive. The importance of the mesas in maintaining the productivity of the wetlands is not known. Virtually no work has been done on the interrelationship between southern California coastal wetlands and their associated uplands. The contribution of the uplands to the entire Bolsa Chica ecosystem can now only be described in terms of the habitat it provides to many mammalian and avian species. For example, the success and presence of the many birds of prey found in the Bolsa Chica have been attributed to the eucalyptus groves and the extensive foraging areas provided by the mesas and lowlands. It is known that terrestial species are interwoven in the food web of the wetlands ecosystem. The foundation of a simple wetlands food chain is comprised of microscopic phytoplankton and zooplankton . Healthy marsh waters teem with these organisms which serve as food for many higher forms of life such as the larger planktonic and invertebrate animals that in turn serve as food for fish qnd birds. In those food chains where birds are the top predator, some , like the terns, pelicans, and osprey, feed on fish. Others, like the shorebirds, probe in the mud flats for bottom-dwelling invertebrates. One large avian predator, the marsh hawk, feeds primarily on small mammals and birds that in turn take their nourishment from plants, insects and other species.

This plan could be achieved by various approaches. For example, a court suit filed by the Amigos de Bolsa Chica is requesting that the 1973 land trade agreement be set aside and the public tidelands trust be re-established. If this suit is successful , all or part of the wetlands would be returned to public ownership. The State of California has set aside $3.6 million for - - acquisition of the lowlands and the County of Orange has $2 million for acquisition of park corridors along the mesas and in the wetlands. Additional State funds could come from the Coastal Conservancy. The Bolsa Chica has also been identified by the "Unique Wildlife Ecosystem Program" -of the Fish and Wildlife Service. This program seeks to protect the Nation's natural resources through public participation, easemepts, and/or acquisition. Monies for acquisition are from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Once acquired, the area becomes part of the National Wildlife Refuge System.

System could also seek acquisition because of the importance of the area to migratory shorebirds and waterfowl and endangered species. Several actions then could be taken which would significantly enhance the natural resource values. Based on the findings of a study being conducted by Orange County, unnecessary oil roads, drilling pads and fills could be removed as oil production ceases. Dikes and tidegates could also be removed or modified allowing for better circulation of surface water while protecting the remaining oil facilities. Eventually all the fills could be removed from the wetlands and a more natural hydrologic system be re-established. The mesas would also be left undeveloped and natural succession allowed to taLke .place until much of the area was revegetated by the climax community, the coastal sage scrub. Grassland areas could also be maintained. A nature trail could provide controlled access through the mesa and border the wetlands. This linear park system would only allow hiking activities. A natural trail system would provide unique recreational opportunities to residents and visitors. Development in the immediate Bolsa Chica would not be allowed. Impacts to the area would be related to increased and controlled recreational usage and further urbanization of the north Orange County coastline. Effect of Scenario on the Year 2000 Environment , With the change in hydrologic regime, which could include tidal 11{ flooding, the relative abundance of wetlands vegetative communities j would again shift. The present non-tidal portion of the wetlands would 1 become a combination of palustrine and estuarine wetlands. The resource values to freshwater and marine invertebrates and fish species would i increase due to increased amounts of water channel habitat and improved flushing. Resident and migratory birds should also receive benefits from the enhancements to the diverse habitats. Endangered species (light-footed clapper rail, brown pelican, and California least tern) should also benefit. Some terrestial faunal species would probably be displaced and/or lost if water levels become too high in the lowlands. However, foraging opportunities in the wetlands would continue to be high for the predatory raptors and mammals. Breeding opportunities should increase for land birds, raptors, mammals, as the mesas succeed to a more natural vegetative state. 43 i1 E T N;". ndurn , t-Uchaei L.

This report , then, includes a summary of findings and determinations; a historical perspective; present status; extent of historical wetlands in the study area; applicable definitions and criteria applied; extent of non-degraded and degraded wetland areas ; a discussion of restoration alternatives and the feasibility of restoring and improving wetland values ; and a base map which delineates the extent of existing and historic . wetland and non-wetland resources . Summary of Major Findings Based upon examination of historical mapping, existing biological data, and upon the definitions and criteria outlined herein, the Department finds that of the 1 ,324 acres within the study area, 1 ,292 acres are historic wetlands and 32'acres are historic uplands . We find that of the 1 ,292 acres of historic wetlands, 852 (6 W dontinue to function viably as wetlands. The Department finds that 166 of these 852 acres have been restored by the Department and are, therefore, essentially non-degraded. These 166 acres are confined to the State Ecological Reserve. The Department finds that there are 686 acres of viably functioning but degraded wetlands within the Bolsa Chica lowlands ; 70 of these acres are within the State Ecological Reserve . These 686 acres of degraded wetlands are not severely degraded because they presently provide significant wildlife values and in terms of annual net productivity are extremely productive. For purposes of PRC Section 30411(b) , the Department specifically finds that while the 686 acres of degraded wetlands are not severely degraded, the 1 ,000 acre wetland system (consisting of the union of 616 acres of existing wetlands and 384 acres of restorable historical wetlands outside State ownership) is, when viewed as a whole, so severely degraded that it is in need of major restoration. The Department further finds that a boating facility can be of sufficiently small size that a restored area meeting the minimum 75% requirement of Section 30411(b)(2) can be maintained in conjunction with such a project. Finally, the Department finds that because only limited information is currently available, it can make no determination, at present, as to the feasibility of a boating facility or any other means of enhancing and restoring wetlands within the area. Upon completion of the pending U.S. Army Corps of Engineers study of alternative ways to restore tidal influence to Bolsa Chica, the Department, in consultation with the Coastal Commission and the Department of Boating and Waterways, and pursuant to PRC Section 30411(b) , will determine the most feasible way to restore the area.* (Table 1) * This report is intended to define and delineate wetland areas pursuant to the requirements of PRC Section 30411. The report has not addressed the location or extent of other environmentally sensitive areas which are found in uoland areas adjacent to the lowlands. For example, a particularly high quality coastal chaparral community in a bluff area would not be addressed in this report. The Department is in the process of preparing a report on environmentally sensitive habitat in the non-developed bluff and upland areas involved. AT IENT � �.

Box 4048 g DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING Santa Ana; CA 92702-4048 Re: Bolsa Chica Project Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR 551) Dear Mr. Mathews: The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has- reviewed the referenced document and offers the following comments. First, although you wrote letters to the Service regarding one aspect of our written response to you on the Notice of Preparation (NOP) of EIR 551, our letter was not included among those shown in Technical Appendix D. You asked about funding for a "Biodiversity Park" alternative. We have attached all these letters for your convenience. We stated in our NOP response letter the mission and authorities of the Service, as well as, our keen interest in working with agencies to address the fish and wildlife issues of the Bolsa Chica. While we have felt otherwise excluded from your process of preparing the subject EIR and "Wetland Restoration Plan" , to date, it is our expressed desire and intention to be very involved in the preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to be prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act, not to mention the Corps' of Engineers permit consideration and Endangered Species Act compliance. Consequently, we now provide only summary comments on your EIR, rather than a meticulous and detailed review. One of our recommendations to you in July 1993 was for the completion of appropriate biological survey work, especially of the bird utilization of the area. We now find that the draft EIR repeatedly cites allegedly completed or ongoing surveys but the actual results are not disclosed, provided in appendices, or provided separately. For specific example, please refer to EIR page 4.7-15 for the following "sentences. "Most recently, Guthrie et al. (1993) conducted an analysis of bird census data collected in the Bolsa Chica Lowland from March 1992 through February 1993 . This most recent study, which is still ongoing, provides a comprehensive_ account of the avian species that use the Bolsa Chica Lowland throughout the year including breeding, migratory, and sensitive species. " Another example can be noted on cage 4.7-18 in the following sentence. "The most recent survey of birds on the Bolsa Chica Mesa was completed by Ecological Research Services (ER in the spring of 1993 (ERS 1993) . " Neither Letter 'from USFWS to Tom t,athews , OC Planning Dated February 17 , 1994 Re: Bolsa Chica Draft EIR ( EIR 551 ) *` By: Gail Kobetich, Field Supervisor 'Thomas Mathews 2 these "reports" is even listed in the Bibliography (Appendix B) yet many lological conclusions of the EIR are purportedly based on the information in them. The importance of this is that credible and accurate analysis of development L' impacts and mitigation, wetland restoration goals, wetland ecosystem impacts, or benefits all derive from accurate and credible biological baseline information. There is also no indication in the "Wetlands Restoration Plan" (WRP, Appendix E) that the preparers of that plan had been provided and utilized any of the information said to have resulted from these surveys . This could explain the specious contentions of adequate mitigation or biological benefits that appear throughout the document. We believe some elements of the proposed "restoration" project could have just the opposite effect than the EIR contends. Claimed biological restoration benefits could become actual damage or predicted enhancement actually could result in degradation. Based on the available information, we cannot agree that California least tern, western snowy plover, Belding's savannah sparrow, or shorebirds and waterfowl would be benefitted by the proposed mitigation/restoration as claimed in the EIR. One conclusion is that the proposed plan would not constitute adequate mitigation for the impacts of development. Even absent any development impacts, the construction of the WRP may damage wildlife resources it purports to benefit. Furthermore, these recent baseline data would likely aid in the implementation of measures to remediate the active and ongoing degradation that appears to result from the existing oil field operations and pumping of water out of the lowland. That is, we believe that the manner in which current and controllable land use activities on the privately owned wetland areas may have incurred some habitat degradation that could easily be reversed. For example, the EIR states on page 4.6-19 that no pumping of water out of the lowland has occurred since 1990. (This is incorrect in that pumping was conducted in 1993 .) The effect of pumping is to "dewater" the wetland. The seasonal extent of water is a factor in the biological vigor and diversity of the pickleweed flats , as well as, patterns of shorebird and waterfowl use which ought to be discernable in the, as yet undisclosed, reports. Page 4.7-28 includes the following statement on western snowy plover, which is federally listed as threatened with extinction. After discussing surveys done 23 years ago, the EIR states "Most recently, Guthrie (1982) also noted that the heaviest use occurred in the seasonal ponds. Guthrie (1993) observed snowy plovers during the months of April through December with the peak numbers occurring in the fall. At present, the western snowy plover is considered a visitor to Bolsa Chica (WRP 1993) . Most snowy plovers observed at Bolsa Chica are migrants or visitors : only four pairs have regularly nested at Bolsa Chica in the last 3 years. " We note that the WRP was prepared by and for the private landowner and itself derived or includes no data on snowy plover. The last sentence cited obviously contradicts the preceding remark that the snowy plover is a visitor. Neither of the other cited sources are listed in the bibliography or known to be available, but we do believe that the western snowy plover makes significant use of some parts of Bolsa Chica for breeding. The EIR section discussing impacts to target bird species at page 4.7-51 does not mention snowy plover. :However, on page 4 .7-56 , zhe EIR , TTA nrAF:NIT N0. , . Mathews 3 _.that the eliminated snowy plover nesting areas would be "relocated" , the WRP indicates not until 2 and 12 years later (phasing of area 2A and The minimal physical description of this "relocated" nest site also acts to us that it would neither offset the identified impact nor benefit snowy plover. The conclusion should be that snowy plover would be further }Larmed, rather than benefitted by the proposed project. Regarding the existing condition for snowy plover, we also suspect that daily vehicle traffic of the oil lease operator along the interior road/dikes may be preventing or destroying snowy plover nesting activity there. Destruction of snowy plovers or their nests at Bolsa Chica as a result of the oil operations or vehicle traffic would be an act prohibited by section 9 of the Endangered Species Act. In the absence of a Federal action, the exemption from the section 9 prohibition of take can only be obtained through the section 10(a) permit process. We recommend focused surveys during the breeding season be conducted and that an Habitat Conservation Plan or credible measures for avoiding harm to this listed species be prepared and submitted to the Service. You should be aware now that effective January 31, 1994, the Pacific pocket mouse, Peroenathus loneimembris Pacificus, thought to have been extinct, was emergency listed as a Federal Endangered Species as a result of its rediscovery on the Dana Point Headlands and imminent threat of destruction - there. The Federal Register notice is attached for your convenience. We note that the soil type, proximity to the coast, and conformation at the Bolsa Chica Mesa is virtually identical, although the history of disturbance and currently existing vegetation are somewhat different. While within the animal's historic range, appropriate biological surveys for this species of small mammal on the Bolsa Chica Mesa are not known to ever have been conducted. The Service believes that suitable habitat conditions may exist on the Bolsa Chica Mesa for this highly endangered animal, it may be present there, and we recommend that focused surveys be conducted there. The definition and usage of "wetlands" is muddled throughout the document. Page 3-9 uses Federal jurisdictional acreage while the glossary page 10 describes California Coastal Act wetlands and glossary page 4 describes existing wetlands as Federal jurisdictional acreage, again. The EIS, yet to be prepared, would be the appropriate forum for addressing Federal jurisdictional waters and wetlands and the mitigation (avoidance, minimization, rectification, and compensation) of environmental impacts. Since you chose to separate the two processes, we again suggest that the subject EIR should primarily address Coastal Act wetlands and policies. Consequently, it appears to us that the proposed project described on page 3-9 and 3-12 and many of the conclusions regarding wetland-creation, restoration, and mitigation would need to be revised. For example on page 3-12, the following sentences are found. "Residential development on a reconfigured and consolidated parcel of property along the inland edge of the lowland. This parcel. . . :s approximately 194 acres and will result in approximately 120 acres of impact to jurisdictional waters of the United States." We suggest that the such sentences should instead indicate that the impact would be the elimination of 194 acres of degraded but restorable, Coastal Act wetland. A t i AIC',�4MEN 1 i s � _�— i �xathays S "-•aseline biological condition, impacts to wildlife, and appropriate Is mitigation be revised and augmented. This EIR provides very •juscification" for diminishing wetland areas by building houses , with =ly explained and, perhaps, damaging Wetland Restoration Plan. The Leal premise that the proposed Wetland Restoration Plan would benefit t than actually harm wildlife resources requires better documentation. `Corieinue to believe that some parts of Bolsa Chica are so biologically cable that they should not be modified or impacted at all, while others may biologically "improved" through habitat modification. We recommend a revised draft be prepared and circulated for public comment. In any event, �a the Service will be closely coordinating with the Corps of Engineers and other Federal agencies during the preparation of the EIS.

Species considered sensitive by state and/or federal resource agencies are denoted as such in the Appendix A species list. Methods I walked the upper mesa with you and Jan Vandersloot from on 16 January 1998,and walked the entire Bolsa Chica mesa and associated upland slopes on 21 January. During each survey, I searched for primarily for birds and other wildlife; during the second survey, I searched for the Coastal California Gnatcatcher(Polioptila californica californica) in areas of coastal bluff scrub,dried Black Mustard (Brassica nigra) and Sweet Fennel(Foeniculum vulgare). I also inspected two ponded areas covering approximately 0.1 to 0.2 acre located on the upper mesa near the intersection of Los Patos and Lynn roads, and smaller wet areas in this general area. ti Table A-Survey Summary Survey Date Time Start Conditions End Conditions 16 January 1998 1300-1530 wind 1-3 mph;clear; --75°F wind 1-3 mph;clear;--75°F 21 January 1998 0900-1130 wind 1-3 mph; clear; --75°F wind 1-3 mph;clear;--75°F Results I detected three butterfly species, one reptile species, 38 bird species, and four mammal species (please refer to the species list in Appendix A);I also observed fairy shrimp of undetermined species in tire tracks located on the upper mesa,near the small ponded areas referred to previously. During the 16 January survey,I observed one Burrowing Owl on the upper mesa. This raptor has declined dramatically in Orange County and elsewhere in coastal southern California, and now primarily occurs in Orange County as a fall and winter visitor. However, raptor biologist Peter H. Bloom (pers. comm.) suggests that Bolsa Chica mesa may be near enough to the county's last substantial resident population,at the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge, for dispersing birds to establish residence at Bolsa Chica mesa. Directed spring surveys would be required to ascertain whether the Burrowing Owl presently occurs at Bolsa Chica mesa as a fall and winter visitor or a breeding resident. ATTACHMENT NO _ PO.

Discussion The bird sightings reported here are essentially consistent with baseline information reported in the Setting section of Draft EIR No. 551 for the "Bolsa Chica Project," prepared by the County of Orange, dated 20 December 1993. It is not clear, however, that focused spring surveys for the Burrowing Owl have been completed in a manner consistent with California Department of Fish and Game policy. In addition, discovery of seasonally ponded areas and unidentified fairy shrimp appears to represent new biological information that was not considered in the preparation of environmental documentation for the proposed project. Conclusion Please call me at(714)459-2875 if you have any questions regarding this report,or wish to further discuss any issues. Sincerely, Robert A.Hamilton Consulting Biologist Attachments: Appendix A,List of Animal Species Observed cc:Jan Vandersloot 2 - Robert A Hanntton,Consulting Biologist APPENDIX A ANIMAL SPECIES OBSERVED BOLSA CHICA MESA The following invertebrates, amphibians,reptiles,birds and mammals were noted during walks of the Bolsa Chica mesa on 21 January 1998. Each species was observed,rather than being detected by indirect means ( tracks, scat, etc.). Numbers of each species observed during the 21 January survey are indicated in parentheses; Red-shouldered Hawk,Cooper's Hawk,Burrowing Owl,and Palm Warbler were observed only during the 16 January 1998 survey;numbers indicated for these species pertain to the earlier survey date. In addition to species conclusively identified,I observed five fairy shrimp of unknown genus and species in water ponded in tire tracks on the upper mesa during the 21 January survey. *Ir troduced species LEPIDOPTERA BUTTERFLIES Nymphalidae Brush-footed Butterflies Danatts plexippits Monarch (2) Vanessa atalanta ntbria Red Admiral (1) Nymphalis antiopa antiopa Mourning Cloak(1) REPTILIA REPTILES _ Iguanidae Iguanid Lizards Sceloporus occidentalis Western Fence Lizard (3) AYES BIRDS Ardeidae Herons Ardea herodias Great Blue Heron(3) Ardea albtts Great Egret(5) Accipitridae Hawks Elanus lettcurits White-tailed Kite (2) Circus cyaneus Northern Harrier(2) Accipiter striattts Sharp-shinned hawk(1) Accipiter cooperii Cooper's Hawk(1) Buteo lineattts Red-shouldered Hawk(1) Buteo jamaicensis Red-tailed Hawk(3) Falconidae Falcons Falco sparveritts American Kestrel (3) Columbidae Pigeons,Doves Zenaida macrottra Mourning Dove (5) Strigidae Typical Owls Athene cttnicttlaria Burrowing Owl (1) Trochilidae Hummingbirds Calypte anna Anna's Hummingbird (12) Alcedinidae Kingfishers Ceryle alcyon Belted Kingfisher(1) rATTA("',!

Juana Mueller 603 - 21 st Street P13 Huntington Beach, CA 92648 February 10, 1999 Mr. Wayne Carvalho, Associate Planner RF City of Huntington Beach cF�VRo 2000 Main Street F4-8 Huntington Beach, CA 92648 oFpAgT��hT 199g Dr. Mr. Carvalho, I would like to submit some comments on the Environmental Checklist Form for Environmental Assessment No 98-11, for the Sandover development. 1. Regarding Cultural Resources: The ancient archaeological sites, Ora 83, 86, 144- must be evaluated in present time with present day technologies. The study cited in the Environmental Checklist was done in 1973. We need updated, state of the art information to discover if grading and covering all or portions of these sites is appropriate. P13.1 Bolsa Chica Mesa is known as a "coastal bay-bluff setting" for native American habitation over many thousands of years. This type of setting is now a rarity in southern California. Dr. Patricia Martz, anthropology, California State University, Los Angeles has stated the area is one of the most significant in southern California. I submit that there is a "cumulative considerable" effect on these archaeological sites which is significant and an EIR is needed for documentation. 2. Regarding Biological Resources: I have personally witnessed White Tailed Kites, a sensitive species, hunting over the 5 acres in question. 1 have seen them roosting in the Eucalyptus snags near this property. An EIR study is needed to determine if removing 5 acres of hunting area will affect the viability of these birds. P13.2 The increased traffic and new light sources from this development should be studied in relation to the biological resources. Will these impacts adversly affect this sensitive species? An updated EIR study is needed to answer such questions. 3. Land Use and Planning: Open space was not addressed in the Checklist. Open space is part of land use and planning. An EIR should address this issue in regard to P13.3 this particular new development. Open space is becoming more and more of a concern in the growing urban sprawl. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, AT f AC1"iiVi � 1 February 10, 1999 RECEIVED Mr. Wayne Carvalho p 12 FEB 10 1999 Associate Planner City of Huntington Beach DEPARTMENT GP PLANNING 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach,CA 92647 Dear Mr. Carvalho: I wish to comment individually on Environmental Assessment No. 98-11 and ask that you I consider requiring a full environmental assessment of the subject property rather than approving p12.1 the mitigated negative declaration which you are currently proposing The reasons for my request are as follows: 1. The Leighton-Yen report cited on page 6 of the assessment show the trace of the Bolsa- Fairview Fault to come within 400-600 feet of the project. The trace of the fault and lateral extent of the fault zone are not known accurately and are inferred primarily from subsurface water well data. Further,the subject property lies approximately 4000'northeast of the Newport- - Inglewood Fault. Geotechnical work done on this latter fault in connection with a projected housing development on the mesa indicate that there are smaller lateral faults which extend p12.2 from this fault into the mesa area Without further geotechnical evaluation of the property to determine the site-specific potential for seismic shalang or offset associated with these two faults beyond that considered or required in the current environmental assessment„ it can not be said or determined with certainty or even high probability that the property and its associated housing will not be subjected to a potentially significant impact. 2. This area currently receives significant use for recreational purposes. That use has increased while the area availability has decreased because the property owner of this project area is also the property owner of the large adjacent area within county jurisdiction and has fenced the adjacent to preclude continued,further use of the larger area. Further, this area has no local P12.3 park available for recreational purposes and most certainly not for the level of use the area has experienced. This is a significant impact on a much larger area than the project itself and should be dealt with much more extensively than the proposed assessment is capable of doing. 3. The contribution of this project to the cumulative impacts to the city and especially to the adjacent residents, if and when the mesa is fully developed by this same property owner have not been, and can not be, adequately considered in a negative impact. These 'impacts can only be considered in a full environmental review. Further, rood planning.,protective of the existing city residents as well as those who would occupy the proposed project, and, I believe,the sense and P12.4 goals of CEQA and LAFCO (which would apply to potential annexation)dictate that areas not be piece-mealed and cumulative effects be considered for such a project as that being currently being proposed. in TA NT Nvv. - I I also have some questions about the accuracy of the assessment in other regards. Time does not permit reviewing all of these. I might indicate one,however, which pertains to the zoning on this property. It would appear that housing will occupy part of the area zoned RA and hence this area will impact land which could potentially used for agriculture, i.e. lot 10 on attachment 2, p12.5 appears to lie partially within the RA zone. Further, it is not clear what the future holds for lot B (?,I can not quite read the letter for sure) at the south end of A street. This latter lot is almost completely within the RA zone and lies partially on county property and looks like it could also be developed for residential purposes. Secondly, attachment 2 shows 17 residential lots but the assessement refers to 16. Which is it? Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this assessment.

Input was 3 given to EA, Implementation Agreement and other subsections of HCP process. Drafted text for biological section of EIR for Specific Plan area, including impacts. mitigations and monitoring assignments. Project: Cabin Bar Ranch Water Extraction Project Conducted site inventories and prepared biological and ecological documentation for EIR for water extraction program in southern Ovens Valle-, Invo County. Studies included full- spectrum biota surveys during all seasons: sensitive mammal species trapping and ecological studies; amphibian and fish trapping and habitat management; wetlands and riparian areas habitat restoration in xeric alkaline and saline soils; protection, transplantation and habitat enhancement for endangered desert wetlands plants; riparian habitat damage assessment and restoration monitoring; development of long-term open space management, mitigation and monitoring programs for desert wetlands and riparian systems. Also conducted field surveys and prepared EIS biota information, including corridor and habitat linkage assessment, for pipeline alignment on adjacent BLM-administered desert uplands. Project: China Lake Naval Weapons Center Water Treatment Plant/Pipeline Surveys conducted in 1993 and 1994 in sensitive areas to determine the presence or absence of endangered plants and animals, to provide clearance for expansion of existing treatment facilities, to protect agency-designated sensitive habitats. species, corridor values and habitat linkage systems along 4 miles of pipeline alignments: also evaluated potential impacts of changes to groundwater. Performed desert tortoise and Mohave ground squirrel protocols on all properties. Conducted follow-up surveys in 1996 for revised project footprints, additional pipeline corridors and wastewater spreading areas, and off-site percolation ponds. Four separate areas outside the base were assessed for habitat values, for use as potential mitigation for project impacts. Project: Coachella Valley Municipal Water District Master EIR Conducted field surveys and literature reviews for entire suite of potential sensitive biotic issues for lower Coachella Valley area, including evaluation of biotic quality and existing impacts for aquatic, riparian and wetland habitats along and within approximately 50 total miles of the Coachella Canal and Whitewater Stormwater Channel alignments. Evaluations included assessment of impacts to fish species (incl. desert pupfish), benthic macroinvertebrates, all vertebrate taxa, and seasonal migratory bird resources. Also surveyed and assessed impact areas for proposed treatment plant and percolation pond facility sites in xeric upland habitats, along with several miles of associated pipeline alignments. Impact evaluations included potential changes in overall habitat connectivity values. seasonal resource use areas, and wildlife movement corridors. Project: Tejon Ranch Land Use Planning Program Performed field inventories and habitat assessments over several years on 432 square mile privately-owned ranch in southern California- including sensitive species field surveys, land management option evaluations, preliminary wetland values assessments, comprehensive evaluation of riparian habitats and obligate species use of same, and native grassland surveys. Program involvement included informal determination of land use constraints, evaluation of general impact potentials, development of Habitat Conservation Plan analysis, evaluation of rangeland use issues, assessment of existing resource conditions for interior rangeland habitats and oak savannah, interpretation of public perceptions. and agency interaction strategies. Recent project work included preparation of biotic assessment for proposed hunting and trap shooting club in 8,000 acre parcel in Los Angeles County_-. to SEATAC standards. Approved March, 1997. Project: Manitou Foundation Lands Habitat Conservation Plan This project required a broad-based evaluation of all natural resources present or seasonally occurring within a several mile-long swath of mid-slope range and forest on the western face of the Rocky Mountains, above Crestone, Colorado.

Archamologicsil sitar in several adjacent arts (i.e. CA-ORA- 93, 94, 85, 86. reed 288) were tested under my field direction more than 25 years ago in 1973. 1 understsawl that my document is currently being referenced as a study whose insults revealed this area to not be an important cultuW resource. I would like to point taut that the area currently proposed for development dots not appm to be an arw in which much if any of my work occurred. As rdmr as I can dektmine from the two figures that I have looked at(Attachments 3.1 and S.87), at most only a single five m+eW long backhoe trench may have been located in the southeastern mast corner of the current development parcel. Consequently, at least, during my project, this area was not, or essentially not, investigated. In addition, F believe it aWropriate to point out that the remaining undeveloped area(s) of upper Solsa Chica Mesa, represents virtually ail that is left of a unique prehistoric site complex originally consisting of sites CA-ORA-83, 84, 85, 86, anti 288. While ift 1973 the results of my testing,program indicated that oonsideraWe disttubance had occurred to the site dep"ts prmnt, and a relative pAuoty of diagnostic artifacts were recovered, these resttits must be understood in context of the time. 1n 1973, when all of the Rites were still present, the areas 1 tested appeared to contain relatively kawer amounts of cultural nuacrials and to have less deposit integrity. Today, !hey represent virtually the only remaining in situ repositories of these materials. Since 1973, teary new technologies have been developed to analyze archacvlogical samples. As a stark exam*, desktop computers had not yet evert made their appearance by 1973. Radiaccbon dating, while known about, was stall infregekndy used in archaeological analysis. Other evaluative techniques common today, including tool residue and pollen studies. obsidian hydration+and sourcing,and DNA testing. were also either unlolown cn were in their infancy and not headily available for use in archaeological studies. Conwquantly, I would like to rewmmaW that some level of gre=vwdon now be t on"erad for any intact site remnants still pmeent_ The sub&tAntW development that has occurred in southern California in the last 25 yem,espeein33y along the:coast. has made preItiswrk,c msW sites much rarer and, as a result, more signifosat resources today than they were 25 years ago. 71taefore, I beUeve the current research value of sites on Wsa Chica, shouW be considered relative to the cumulative iirp2at criwtia of today's resource bay, as well as in regard to the substantially increased level of information that can be pined using today's technologicai cavabiiities and improved analytical techniques.

I realize that in 1973 the site was determined to he "radically disturbed" and to have a low artifact yield and because of this was determined not to contain important information regarding California prehistory. IIowever, the determination that this site is not significant was made over a quarter of a ccritury ago when there were numerous archaeological sites in the area, archaeolOgic;Il research tended to focus on artifact typology, and the technological advances of today's archaeological research were not available. Since that tune thousands of archaeological sites have heen destroyed due to modern development and in the next 30 _years it is probable Char there will be very few remaining. Also, since that tirne, new techlloiogKA developments have given archaeologists the ability to address a whole new sct of Important questions including the relationship between humans and the environment, diet and nutrition, and settlement and subsistence patterns. 'These questions can be addressed through the excavation and analysis of even a small area of intact shell midden (shell. horse, and other materials resulting from prehistoric human activities). According to the Pacific C'oost Archoeologkol Society Ouarwrlt' Vol. 4(3) 1968, the site is describe as "another- extensive shell midden" with dimensions estimated at 200 by 1000 meters. Given that size, there is a high probability that some intact cultural deposits and even archaeological features, such as hearths remain intact. IIi light of the treinendOUS losses of significant archaeological sues that have occurred and the potential for the site to address important yuettii�iit, i recommend that the site be tested and reevaluated. if significant oultt,riJ deposits remain, preservation alternatives should be considered per CEQA. i he Cdlihrme Stacy Unwtislcy 4, Sincerely, Patricia Martz, PlI.D.

Itcni XIV of the Env)rorrnental Ch,;LhIlst for the pi-operty ir,d:eates that the proposed development. v:iJi have a less thaii significant impact on cultural resources, but subsequent text inclicates mitigation measures that are required to mitigate impacts to a level below sitmuicance.

'fhr finding that thr site (CA-()IL'1-86) has been "radically disturbed," is bused on very old research by T.OT, t'ooley (1973). At that time, the research questions invQ:,Iigated for cultural resources were substantially different from modern nnethodoIogies Subsequ,:nt workon ORA-86 has yielded burials,and midden deposits extending as much as two meters(-6 feet) below the existing ground surface Site OF-\-515, located within the boundary of ORA- 83/86/i 4-4, has also produced lnitn:a;n burii-11s. 3 At the time that i\Ir.

Disturbance of the site is relatively restricted to the plow-zone - the top --10 inches of site. Since it is known that the site extends to as much as 72 inches, this leaves some $ti percent of the site inract.. 6. The earlier wort: of Cooley Nvas done to archaeological standards of the day.

R I DECLARATION OF ROSEMARY STEINBRECHER 2 I,Rosemary Steinbrecher,declare as follows: 3 1. In or about August of 1990, I was temporarily employed by the then- 4 dissolving Signal Landmark Company. I was employed as a switchboard/receptionist 5 until the transition to the Koll Company was complete. 6 2. At the time stated above, Mr. Joe Stucker, who was in charge of"land 7 development" for the company was leaving permanently within a few days. A Mr. 8 Pacini had been sent from the parent Henley Corporation to affect the transfer to Koll 9 and the final dissolution of Signal Landmark. 10 3. While working at Signal in the summer of 1990, a memo was placed on my 11 desk by an outgoing secretary, and I was told to give it to Mr. Pacini as soon as he came 12 in. This memo was a single sheet placed face up unfolded on my desk without an 13 envelope. Mr. Pacini did not come in for at least two hours and, so, I did read the memo. 14 At the time, I thought it was odd that I would be allowed to see a memo like this, but I 15 attributed it to the general harum-scarum atmosphere of a company where everyone was 16 on very short notice. 17 4. The memo described in this declaration, was approximately four paragraphs 18 long. Its tenor was instructional, from the outgoing head of his department(Mr. 19 Stucker) to the new director(Mr. Pacini). 20 •5. The memo notified Mr. Pacini of the fact that human remains had been 21 unearthed on their Bolsa Chica land. The memo reflected a specific numerical 22 designation which was "ORA-83." There was also mention of"Indian burial site" 23 and "cogstones." 24 6. Mr. Stucker urged Mr. Pacini, "excavation of the entire site to remove all 25 artifacts before public announcement would prevent the physical preservation of the 26 area. Physical preservation would preclude most development uses." 27 7. The memo further stated, "If we continue to excavate now and do discover 28 more human remains, we would be able to remove all remains from our property J . I I immediately and rebury thus preventing any future problems with the Gabrielinos over 2 burial site designations." 3 8. After reading the memo, I wrote notes of its contents on a Signal memo pad. 4 Attached hereto is a true copy of those notes. The notes accurately reflect the contents 5 of the memo. 6 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of California that the foregoing 7 is true and correct. 8 Executed this 17th day of April, 1995, at Newport Beach, California. 9 10 11 ROSEMARY AMINBRECHER 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2 • •� +w-iri�4 [r3,24 Ftl GLAD5fOIV� 1NTL TO 9i31�43'P'T 92 i� P.IZ ;i1 •J; • ,.:.'� 1 LucYmi 1' + PAK i (714)374-24tn 1S t TACT In 1' I ; At�cheoi Em7atloot ld Bola Chka How MV*archeolo eaca atlow been gdm on at;Bola Cblat M ? srcheoloo sass on China Mem haw beds subject to study tied .' i; acre sina�the t9'fOs. mog recant excavations, which are the subject pf the { 'l =4W*lea, were Ini in the summer of IM.

This is information which I would have readily provided to you, had I been asked to do so. Consequently, this is, of course, information that Koll Company and S.R.S., Inc. would not voluntarily provide to a Most Likely Descendent for obvious reasons. Let me start with a brief chronology of the latest developments: April 25, 1994: Excavation resumed at ORA-83 on the area beneath the tree stumps (this are was left unfinished from previous excavations prior to December 24, 1993). This current excavation was expected to yield additional human remains due to the proximity to earlier discoveries in December 1993. April 26, 1994: First encounter with human remains occurred at approximately 11 A.M. Excavation continued. Mr. Domingo Belardes, Mr. Eric Shaw and Mr. Frank McDowell (Field Supervisor) were excavating. April 27, 1994: Excavation proceeded. At 10:15 A.M. I was informed by Mr. Domingo Belardes that the project had been halted per directive of Mr. David Belardes. You might wonder why the project was halted so abruptly, and you might ask who were the Native American monitors. May 10, 1994 Page Two The answers are that there were no Native American monitors present prior to the halting of the project and that is why the project was halted. The fact of the matter is that neither Domingo Belardes nor myself were acting in the capacity of Native American monitor. For my part, I was not even involved in the excavation. It was not until after it became apparent to Mr. David Belardes and the California Coastal Commission (April 27, 1994) that a discrepency in excavation methods was taking place by S.R.S., Inc., that Domingo Belardes and myself were approached with the option to become "instant" monitors. The transition from field crew worker to monitor was an obvious ploy by S.R.S., Inc. to conceal the fact that the archaeological excavation that began two days earlier was started and would have continued without the presence of, and consultation with, a Native American monitor. My subsequent refusal to cooperate with S.R.S., Inc. in this matter led Mr. Frank McDowell, the field supervisor, to order me off the site that same day at approximately 1:30P.M. I might add that Dr. Nancy Desautel was in constant telephone contact with Mr. McDowell and was aware of every aspect of the situation. I have had no contact with Dr. Nancy Desautel or any representative of Koll Company since that date and time, although I did receive a "final" employee paycheck the following Sunday in the mail. So I can definitely presume that my defiance and attitude toward their ploy were not greatly appreciated by either Koll Company or S.R.S., Inc. It is now my understanding that Domingo Belardes did return the following day (April 28, 1994) to act as a Native American monitor on behalf of the Juanenos and that the excavation did resume and continued into the following week. What terms and conditions Domingo has with Koll Company is anyone's guess. All of the aforementioned events leads me to think the worse possible scenario, especially now that I am totally isolated from the site. It also leaves several unanswered questions and some very disturbing possibilities. The most disturbing possibility to me is that Koll Company and S.R.S., Inc. will proceed at this time to totally disregard a recommendation made by the Native American monitors on December 13, 1993 to Darlene Shelley, consultant to Koll Company and Susan Hori, attorney for Koll Company, and relayed by letter to Dr. Desautel (see letter dated December 15, 1993), that called for further excavation of a tree line to the east and directly adjacent to the present archaeological site. My concern then, as it is now, is that a boundary of the burial site has not been determined. The problem Koll Company has with further excavation is that excavation into the tree line (outlined in red on 07/07/93 map) will undoubtedly yield additional ancestral remains and scientifically prove the existence of an Indian CEMETERY. C� I May 10, 1994 Page Three Let us not forget that Darlene Shelley, Susan Hori and Nancy Desautel did not offer you this information when you visited the site as a Most Likely Descendent. They would like nothing more than to proceed with reburial and wrap this project up at this time and forget about it. Koll Company could care less about finding a boundary to this burial site, nor would they give a damn about bulldozing additional femains from under the tree line when their plans call for grading the immediate vicinity of ORA-83. I feel the callous disregard for Native American input recently displayed by Koll Company representatives is a valid indicator of their future intent. The apparent willingness:of S.R.S., Inc. to comply with their substandard treatment of certain Native Americans can only reflect badly on Dr. Nancy Desautel. I can only hope that this letter and the enclosed maps and charts will help you better understand the situation now surrounding ORA-83. If you need to confer with me, please feel free to do so. Please remember, I am now under no contractual obligations, and I may speak my mind freely, both privately and publicly. Sincerely, Samuel H.

I spoke with Nancy Desautels , Archaeologist with SRS (Scientific Resource Surveys , Inc) ; David Kice, Human Osteologist working with SRS; and Phillip Ibanez, Native American Monitor. I examined the excavation pits and photographed burial 19 (BB9) which had been pedastelled and partially exposed. I photographed overall views of the excavation including the wet screening processing area. I examined briefly the skeletal material which had previously been excavated in the laboratory facility and spoke with both Nancy Desautels and David Kice regarding the analysis to date. The skeletal remains coming from this site are very old, approximately 8000 years old as indicated from some current dating procedures. The remains resemble the Early Horizon material from Central California regarding the heavy mine ralizatton of the material . The bone comes from a uniform layer, the upper part of the Pleistocene terrace deposit. For this reason, the bone is clearly prehistoric and cannot be confused with modern skeletal material of forensic interest to the Coroner. The mineralization and the poor preservation ( usually the only bone remaining is long bone midshafts and cranial vault) make determination of prehistoric status a reliable procedure. Mr. Kice, currently working with SRS, has a good background in osteological procedures. His experience allows him to determine the nature of the bone and if any modern forensic material is ever found at the site there is no doubt that he will recognize it at once. I instructed both Nancy Desautels and David Kice to immediately inform the Coroner if such should occur. Further site visitation should not be necessary if the remains continue to be highly diagnostic and prehistoric. I spoke with Phillip Ibanez, Native American monitor and we discussed general outlines of the Coroner responsibility including why I take photographs to legally document my conclusions. Finally, I photographed and examined a cranial fragment in the laboratory which had an enigmatic feature which resembled, in part, trephination. At the end of the excavation (sometime during 1993 or early 1994) it was decided that David Kice and I would submit this material to Steve Dowell at the L. A. Coroner's office for examination of the defect with the dissecting microscope. The Native Americans are in agreement with the importance of examining this feature in order to properly interpret past events at the site. Judy Myers Suchey, Ph. D.

Whitney-Desautels, Ph.D. Principal Investigator SRS Project No. 926 June 1999 f i � r EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The current archaeological investigations included surface collections, auger drilling, subsurface material collection, and geological studies. These studies showed that: 1) A full soil sequence does not exist on the Sandover property. 2) The soil sequence did not contain well-developed midden ( Facies II), 3) but was restricted to: 1= disc plowzone III=chisel plowzone IV=natural brown soil Vll=natural red clays 4) The truncated soils sequence indicates that cultural materials found within the two plowzone soils are not in place but were imported from elsewhere. 5) The presence of peat 'smears' at the base of the upper disc plowzone and as streaks in chisel tine molds in the lower soils verified this conclusion. 6) All 16 recovered subsurface historic materials (glass, nails, slag, shot gun shell and rodent bones) were contained within both plowzones. 7) All 17 recovered subsurface prehistoric materials (flakes and a bone tool fragment) were also contained within both the disc and chisel plowzones. 8) Slightly over 1 cup (10 oz.) of shell fragments were recovered from the entire subsurface investigation. All pieces were extremely fragmentary (the majority were the size of a dime or smaller) and highly weathered, indicating continual or repeated exposure to the surface presumably through agricultural activities and rodent burrowing. 9) Only one small whole shell was recovered, not sufficient for radiocarbon dating and a large enough shellfish sample was not gathered for studying subsistence activities. No fish otoliths or bird bone were found for seasonality studies, no features or floor surfaces were located for determining site activities, no stone tools were recovered for establishing site use through functional classifications or use-wear analyses, and no obsidian was recovered for obsidian hydration dating or obsidian sourcing. 10) The requisite data was not recovered for addressing regional research questions (at least 20 centimeters of intact or relatively intact 'midden' soils, at least 3-4 prehistoric artifacts per auger hole below the upper plowzone, and at least 2-3 levels of shell of sufficient quantity [determined to be at least 16 hinges per auger level] are required). In summary, archaeological site Ora-86, Herring's Site E, is not located on the Sandover Project. The scant materials on the property are confined to the two plowzones and have been displaced from elsewhere. If the site still exists, it is probably as Herring (1961, 1967, 1968) and Eberhart (1966a, 1966b) originally stated, '200 feet east of Bolsa Chica Road'. ii JAN D.

It is my opinion that the Biological Resources Evaluation is insufficient and that a full Environmental Impact Report should be prepared. I am a medical doctor with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biologic Science from Cornell University, 1967. After attending medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School from 1967 to 1971, 1 served my internship in Tucson , Arizona, and then my Dermatology residency at Stanford University from 1972 to 1975. 1 then served in the US Navy at Long Beach from 1975 to 1977. 1 have practiced medicine in Huntington Beach since 1977 in the specialty of Dermatology. Since 1980, 1 have been extensively involved in the Bolsa Chica area, acting as a Director of Amigos de Bolsa Chica for 12 years, and a founding member and current Board member of Bolsa Chica Land Trust, serving since 1992. For the past 19 years I have studied all the Environmental Impact Reports and available scientific papers relating to Bolsa Chica. I have visited the Bolsa Chica on hundreds of occasions over 19 years, observing the flora and fauna of both the wetlands and the associated uplands, including the mesa, for hundreds of hours I have observed the wildlife associated with the Sandover area of the Bolsa on dozens of occasions, at different times of year, becoming thoroughly familiar with the different species of wildlife and the relationship of Sandover 6-6-99 1 / za-y(f- JAN D. VANDERSLOOT, M.D. Diplomate,American Board of Dermatology 8101 Newman, Suite C (714) 848-0770 Huntington Beach, CA. 92647 FAX (714) 848-6643 this property with the rest of the Bolsa Chica ecosystem. I have personally seen the burrowing owl, the northern harrier, and the loggerhead shrike on or near the Sandover property The profusion of wildlife on this property mimics the rest of the mesa, and is truly amazing. On the other hand, Mr. Hovore visited the area on only one occasion, from mid-morning to early afternoon, on 22 March, 1999. In particular, the Hovore report is deficient in not analyzing the Biologic Resources that have been present over the years, during different times of year, and the necessity to do focused surveys for particular sensitive species, including the burrowing owl, the white-tailed kite, the loggerhead shrike, the northern harrier, the peregrine falcon, and the Pacific pocket mouse. A focused survey for the Pacific Pocket Mouse on the Bolsa Chica Mesa was recommended by the USFWS in its letter of February 17, 1994 to Draft EIR 551 for the Bolsa Chica. Clearly, the Mitec study of 1989, quoted in the Response to Comments, was not directed to this species, and the USFWS made its comments fully 5 years after the Mitec study. The Pacific pocket mouse was not known to exist until January, 1994. The USFWS feels that "suitable habitat conditions may exist on the Bolsa Chica Mesa for this highly endangered animal, it may be present there, and we recommend that focused surveys be conducted there" (full letter present in my response dated February 9, 1999). The Hovore report does not show that "focused spring surveys for the Burrowing Owl have been completed in a manner consistent with California Department of Fish and Game policy" (Robert Hamilton report, January 26, 1998, included in my previous letter). Moreover, the Biological Evaluation does not discuss the interelationship of this parcel to the larger Bolsa Chica Mesa. The report does mention the flock of western meadowlarks that flew from the parcel to the adjacent land on the mesa during his visit, and the proximity of a pair of loggerhead shrikes near the SW corner of the parcel. The report mentioned the surrounding extensive acreage of"higher quality, less disturbed nesting habitat", but given the very short observation period, approximately 4 hours, the conclusion that nesting does not occur on the property is premature.

The Biological Evaluation should be addressing the whole of the mesa, and the birds and animals that utilize the mesa that also would be present on the subject property. The Sandover property is not separate from the rest of the mesa, but is part and parcel of the mesa ecosystem. It should not be piecemealed out from the rest of the mesa, but the cumulative effects of the development over the whole mesa should be acknowledged and analyzed. The effects of development of this property on the rest of the mesa should be addressed in a full EIR, including loss of foraging and nesting areas, and the impact of feral pets and human intrusion on the rest of the mesa habitat, and the effect on the adjacent wetlands ecosystem. Recently; the California Court of Appeals ruled that the Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) on the mesa could not be built on, as well as not allowing development of residential housing on wetlands at Bolsa Chica. The Sandover property, as well as the rest of the Mesa, provides foraging grounds for the birds and animals in the ESHA, a circumstance not acknowledged in the Negative Declaration. As a result of the Court decision, the whole Bolsa Chica project must be resubmitted to the California Coastal Commission. The configuration of the project and the extent of the ESHA will be reevaluated. Since the Sandover project is part of the Bolsa Chica Mesa, and the project on the Mesa will be reevaluated by the Coastal Commission, the effect on the environment by the Sandover project should be evaluated after the project on the Mesa is known, after the Coastal Commission hearings. The significance of the Eucalyptus groves is stated in the May, 1979 USFWS Special Report, Bolsa Chica Area, included in my previous comments as well as the comments by Debbie Cook in her letter of February 10, 1999. This significance is not alluded to at all in the Hovore report; in fact the Hovore report denigrates the value of the groves. Since the Courts have upheld the value of the groves, the Hovore report should be reexamined in light of both the USFWS and the Court of Appeals opinions. Sandover 6-6-99 3 JAN D.

Since the ESHA will stay at Bolsa Chica thanks to the Court decision, the value of the Sandover site and its utility as a foraging site for the raptors in the ESHA should be evaluated in a full EIR. The concept of notifying residents about the adjacent sensitive areas and to obey leash and confinement laws concerning pets should be shown to work in other areas before considering it to be a valid mitigation measure for pet intrusion This is not valid mitigation, and has never worked anywhere. Despite posted signs at every park or open space area I have seen, the animals go without leashes frequently. Cats are commonly seen loose in parks, unless controlled by presence of coyote. In summary, I believe the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Frank Hovore Biological Evaluation are deficient and should be replaced with a more thorough and detailed biological evaluation as part of a full Environmental Impact Report.

The appellants contend that a portion of our Sandover site is on ORA-86 and therefore an EIR should be prepared for the project. While none of the issues raised by the appellants in their appeal have any merit whatsoever, their claims that there has been insufficient study of ORA-86 and therefore an EIR should be prepared is particularly disturbing given the extensive archaeological research that has been conducted at Bolsa Chica. To demonstrate to the City Council and the public the comprehensive nature of the archaeological studies and investigations that have taken place on Warner Mesa and surrounding areas, I asked Dr. Whitney-Desautels of Scientific Resource Surveys, Inc. (SRS) to prepare a report documenting all of the past studies of ORA-86 and summarize the conclusions of these studies. The report is attached for your information. In her report Dr. Whitney-Desautels identifies 27 separate archaeological investigations of ORA-86 by a number of individuals and organizations from 1920 through 1995. A review of these investigations reveals that at least 12 separate recordations and assessments for site significance have concluded that no further archaeological work is recommended for site ORA-86. The report also concludes that the Sandover project is not located within the boundaries of ORA- 86. Despite the conclusions of previous archaeological investigations of ORA-86 as documented in the County's EIR 551 for the Bolsa Chica Local Coastal Program, the City Planning Commission added a mitigation measure to the negative declaration requiring further archaeological field investigation of the Sandover 6 EXECUTIVE CIRCLE, SUITE 250, IRVINE, CALIFORNIA 92614 (949) 250-7700 FAX (949) 250-7705 r Mayor and City Council • June 3, 1999 Page 2 site prior to issuance of a grading permit.

Chronology of Investigations of CA-ORA-86: Herring's Site E.......... 3 it EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Archaeological site Ora-86, also known as Herring's Site E, has been the subject of 27 separate archaeological investigations, including at least 8 surveys, 5 site form recordations which required additional surveying, 3 surface collections, 2 excavation programs, 1 site inspection after grading, and eight evaluations or assessments of the site for significance, all occurring from the 1920's to 1995. The site was recorded as a shell midden and originally was situated 200 feet east of Bolsa Chica Road in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Road. Throughout the early and mid-1960's several surveys and an excavation program concurred as to this location. In the late 1960's, however, peat materials were brought from the lowlands and used to enhance the organic content of the area soils. During investigations in the early 1970's these materials obscured the surface, but could clearly be distinguished in subsurface excavations from underlying cultural deposits. Nearly forty additional years of disturbance, particularly through agricultural plowing, discing, and deep ripping, have homogenized these deposits and modified the visual surface spread of shell remains. Due to these changes, recent environmental documents now describe the site as extending over Bolsa Chica Road to the west and down off the bluff into the adjacent lowlands on the east. The enlarged site boundaries appear to consist of cultural materials that have been redeposited from site Ora-86. The Sandover Project is a 16-lot proposed development located within the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Road. As such, a small portion of this property, the southeast corner, is shown in these recent environmental studies as containing surface shell materials. It is probable that these materials are not in place, are confined to the plowzone, and have been moved to their present location from Ora-86 through decades of agricultural activities. Constant plowing has homogenized the upper soil layers and appears to have spread cultural materials west of Bolsa Chica Road where they did not originally exist. At least 12 separate recordations and assessments for site significance have reviewed these facts and have concluded that no further archaeological work is recommended for site Ora-86. In conclusion, the Sandover Project is not located within the boundaries of Ora-86. iii I , 1 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE ORA-86: HERRING'S SITE E This paper presents the cultural context of archaeological site Ora-86 by providing a summary of all investigations to date on or directly adjacent to the site. The synopsis is presented as part of the investigations into the relationship of this site and its boundaries to a proposed development along the southern California coast within the jurisdiction of the City of Huntington Beach (Figure 1). The development, known as the Sandover Project, consists of 18 residential lots located on a parcel of land situated southwest of the intersection of Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Road (Figure 2). The parcel, which includes in excess of six acres of land, is reported to contain remnants of archaeological site Ora-86 (Figure 3). Ora-86 is essentially a shell midden that was found to consist of redeposited midden materials mixed with lowlands peat deposits. The site was also described as heavily disturbed and substantially removed by excavators Dr. Hal Eberhart in 1966 and ARI in 1973. Both investigators stated that the site lacked significance and ARI indicated that the site did not require additional investigations prior to development. Eight additional site assessments over a twenty year period (1975 to 1995) have all reiterated the lack of integrity and inability of this site to provide sufficient information to address regional research questions, thereby rendering the site unimportant according to CEQA guidelines. The site was originally recorded substantially east of Bolsa Chica Road in 1961 and did not extend into the Sandover project boundaries. Over 40 years of additional agricultural plowing, discing, and deep ripping have essentially smeared the site boundaries at the surface and spread materials considerably west of the original site location. Ora-86, also known as Herring's Site E, was recorded as an extensive shell midden located on the eastern edge of the southernmost tip of Bolsa Chica Mesa overlooking Bolsa Bay (Figure 3). It is situated approximately 100 feet north of Ora- 144, the Water Tower Site, which in turn is adjacent to and just north of Ora-83, the Cogged Stone Site. The three sites have collectively been 'lumped' and 'split' over the years based solely on surface evidence. Although numerous excavations have been performed on Herring's Site E and the Cogged Stone Site, only two partial hand-excavated units have ever been placed on the intervening Water Tower Site (Herring 1967). The Water Tower Site is also the location of a World War II PSR Building (Plotting Survey Room) and associated water tower. Construction of these buildings during the war years greatly disrupted the archaeological site in this location, effectively providing a gap between the Water Tower Site and Herring's Site E. 1 1 , Herring's Site E has been the subject of 27 separate archaeological investigations as enumerated on Table 1, including at least 8 surveys, 5 site form recordations which required additional surveying, 3 surface collections, 2 excavation programs, 1 site inspection after grading, and 8 evaluations or assessments of the site for significance (ARI 1970a, 1970b 1971 a, 1971 b 1973a, 1973b, 1975a, 1975b; Chambers Group, Inc. 1991; ARMC 1980; County of Orange 1994; Dixon and Eberhart 1964; Eberhart 1961, 1964, 1966a, 1966b, 1968a, 1968b; Hefner and McKinney 1965; Herring 1961 , 1967, 1968; INFOTEC 1988, 1989; [Marshall] and Eberhart 1989; PAR 1995; SRS 1981 , 1982; Strandt 1921). These activities occurred from 1921 to as recent as 1995. STRANDT INVESTIGATIONS (1920's) As early as 1921 Bolsa Chica Mesa had attracted the attention of local amateur archaeologists because of the presence of unusual artifacts termed 'cogged stones'. Herman F. Strandt surveyed and presumably collected from over of 100 archaeological sites in southern California (PCAS 1965:2), 25 of which were located in Orange County (Strandt 1921: Map). In 1921 Strandt prepared a large sketch map indicating the location of his Orange County sites; the map was revised in the 1930's while Strandt was working under John Winterbourne for the Work Progress Administration (WPA) Anthropological Project. Copies of the map are still exist (Strandt 1921), however, all notes concerning the nature of these sites have disappeared. Strandt did write a summary of his impression of the southern California Indian in general (Strandt 1968). Eberhart equated Strandt Site #6 with Ora-85, and Strandt Site #7 with Ora-86 or Herring's Site E (Eberhart 1964, 1966a, 1966b). PCAS (Hefner and McKinney 1965) and ARI (1970a, 1970b) also equate this site (Ora-86) with Strandt #7. Strandt's map (Figure 4) labels both sites with a circle indicating that these sites contained artifacts associated with the Canalino or Paiute time period, according to his map legend. Strandt's Canalino or Paiute designations are equivalent to a Late Prehistoric designation, dated locally from approximately 1000 years ago to the historic present (SRS1995). HERRING-GOCHICOA INVESTIGATIONS (1957-1964) During the war years (1940's) archaeological activities ceased on the mesa. The site became part of the Bolsa Chica Military Reservation (Berhow 1992); entry to the site was restricted to military personnel only. From 1957 to 1964 Alika K. Herring and Robert S. Gochicoa systematically 'walked' the plowed portions of Ora-83 (his Site A) and collected artifacts as they were brought to the surface after rains and agricultural plowing and deep ripping (Herring 1961, 1967, 1968). At least 708 artifacts were collected by these forays; approximately half of these were cogged 2 Table 1. Chronology of Investigations of CA-Ora-86.

Other artifacts included handstones and millingstones, pestles, projectile points, a knife, worked shell, charmstones, stone pipes, and unidentified stone objects. Mundane objects (such as scrapers and scraper planes) were not collected, suggesting that the collection strategy for objects other than cogged stones was favoring museum-quality pieces. Nonetheless, the range of materials still allows for the conclusion that the site was occupied during two periods (Herring 1967:xxvi): The investigations at Bolsa Chica may be briefly summarized by the following generalized statements: 1. Site A was a village site containing a considerable number and variety of artifacts. It was the only site of the Bolsa Chica complex that yielded cogged stones and may be the most prolific site for this type of artifact yet investigated. 2. Site A apparently had the longest history of all of the sites within the Bolsa Chica complex. The occupation apparently began at some point in the Milling Stone Horizon and continued through all or part of the Intermediate Period, but probably did not extend into the Late Prehistoric. The first formal mapping of the site was by Alika Herring in 1961 published in his monograph, Bolsa Chica- A Prolific Cogged Stone Site (Herring 1967:xxxxii). His sketch map is still the most accurate representation of the original boundaries of the archaeological deposit for the Cogged Stone Site (Figure 5). All subsequent investigations have simply served to reduce the boundaries to areas of intact subsurface deposits, as summarized by SRS (1995). The Herring map shows that the northern boundary of Ora-83, his Site A, extends irregularly through the field on the southern end of the bluff, crosses Bolsa Chica Road, and terminates at a gully north of a water tower. Near this gully was a spring recorded by Hefner and McKinney (1965; Figure 7). Herring's boundaries indicate that Site A (Ora-83) and adjacent Site E (Ora-86) are not contiguous. His site descriptions and maps reveal that the sites are both geographically and culturally distinct: Site E (Ora-86), is another extensive shell midden situated on the bluff east of Bolsa Chica Avenue and northeast of Site A. While possibly an extension of A, it more probably is an independent site. Site E disappears under the housing development south of Wintersburg and its northern limits could not be defined with certainty. No artifacts were found on this site, although the shell concentration is fairly heavy. Both Herring's site map (Figure 5) and his description indicate that Site E was located decidedly east of Bolsa Chica Road and did not extend into the area of the proposed Sandover Project. Site E does not have cogged stones and is not multi- component like Site A, but instead appears to have received limited use during a limited time period. The site may be a special-use shell processing area since artifactual materials which might indicate procurement or processing activities other than shellfish preparation are rare to absent based on Herring's survey efforts in the 1960's. 4 FIRST SITE RECORDATION (1964): DIXON AND EBERHART Ora-86 was first recorded in 1964 by Keith Dixon and Hal Eberhart. It was described as being just north of Ora-83 and 200 feet east of the intersection of Los Patos Avenue and Bolsa Chica Street (Figure 6). The site materials grouped within an area 200 feet [66 m] east-west by 1000 feet [330 m] north-south on the surface and associated materials were reported to a depth of 18 inches [45 cm]. The soil was described as brown sandy soil with red-brown sandy soil as the surrounding soil type. Most of the site is reported as farmed and disturbed by fencing and a World War it 'gun emplacement'. Herring lumped Ora-83 and Ora-144 as the same site (A) and distinguished Ora-86 (E) as a separate site. The site is recorded as Strandt #7. SECOND SITE RECORDATION (1965): PCAS The Pacific Coast Archaeological Society (PCAS) formed a consortium with Dr. Hal Eberhart and his CSCLA students for a joint exploration of the sites on Bolsa Chica Mesa. The consortium was in effect from at least 1964 to 1968 (Eberhart 1964, 1966a, 1966b, 1968a, 1968b). The investigations initiated with a survey of the entire Mesa including the area containing Ora-86. Hefner and McKinney at PCAS were instrumental in separating Ora-144 from Ora-83 and Ora-86 and recognizing this site as a distinct entity. The site was dubbed The Water Tower Site : "Site marked by a water tower at present" (Hefner and McKinney 1965). The site form lists the size of the deposit as 700' [230 m] and 400' [130 m] with an unknown depth. A spring is described at the eastern edge of the site which supported a stand of rushes (Figure 7). Bolsa Chica Road bisected the midden deposit and, although no buildings were presently on the site (1965), there were remains of old ranch buildings which probably pre-dated the gun club, according to Hefner and McKinney (1965). Artifacts noted at the time of site recordation included "heavy dart points, 4 plummets, metate and bowl sections, crude cobble tools.... Large heavy shells typical of Milling Stone culture" (Hefner and McKinney 1965). This designator, Ora- 144, now refers only to the area of archaeological materials that is contained wholly within Wood-Man Pole Company property. EBERHART INVESTIGATIONS (1966) Subsequent to the survey and as part of the PCAS-Eberhart consortium, in 1966, a Bolsa Chica field school for the Anthropology Department, California State College at Los Angeles was initiated with PCAS volunteers. The school excavated on three archaeological sites from 1964 to 1968, including Ora-83, Ora-85, and Ora-86. The second site investigated in the series was Ora-86, Herring's Site E, in 1966. The investigations included a surface collection of the site and hand-unit excavations (Eberhart 1966a, 1966b): 5 BOLSA CHICA FIELD WORK On Saturdays between March 5 and April 23, the class in archaeological field methods from California State College at Los Angeles carried on excavations at Strandt 7 on the Bolsa Chica near Huntington Beach. Ten five foot square pits were dug through the shell midden into the reddish, sandy base. An eleventh pit of the same dimensions was taken down only six inches. Midden deposit varied in depth from nine to 27 inches. Artifact yield was slightly better than the return from nearby Strandt 6, which was excavated two years ago by a crew composed of CSCLA students and members of the Pacific Coast Archaeological Society. From Strandt 7 were obtained leaf-shaped and side notched projectile points, manos, and bowl and mortar fragments. Represented by single specimens were an olivella shell bead, an abalone shell pendant, a pestle, and a metate fragment. All chipping waste was saved and a column sample taken. The portion of the site excavated-- some 500 feet north of the water tower--appears to date from the Intermediate or early Late Horizon. The final report on CSCLA field work at Bolsa Chica was written by John Marshall, a student of Eberhart's, and published by PCAS in 1989 ([Marshall] and Eberhart 1989). The report states: In the spring of 1966 ten 5 foot square pits were dug in the northwest part of the site [Ora-86] and the spring of 1968 twelve 5 foot square pits were dug in the southwest sector [Ora-83]" ([Marshall] and Eberhart 1989:64). The site map produced by Eberhart for the excavations in both areas of the mesa is reproduced here as Figure 8. A total of 242 artifacts were recovered from these investigations. The majority (225 or 93%) were recovered from the surface of both areas. Eberhart reports that the southern sector (Ora-83) only produced 'a dozen' artifacts from the 12 five foot square area dug in this part of the site or an average of one artifact per five foot square (Eberhart 1968a, 1968b). Conversely, only 5 artifacts were recovered from the 10 five foot square units at Ora-86, Herring's Site E, or an average of one-half artifact per five foot square area; half of the quantity of Ora-83. The paucity of materials discouraged further work by these investigators in either site area on Bolsa Chica Mesa. THIRD SITE RECORDATION (1970) AND ARI INVESTIGATIONS (1970-1975) As part of an overall Mesa re-survey, Archaeological Research, Inc. (ARI) re- recorded Ora-86 lumping the site with Ora-144 (PCAS) and Ora-83 (Herring) to form 'Ora-83' (Figure 9). Included in this effort was a site description where Ross and McCurdy from this firm provide important information regarding Ora-86, their Ora-83 (NE): "Shell midden, northern portion has been covered (to a depth of 3') by dark soil from the bay" (ARI 1970a). The site is also recorded here as Strandt #7. The third site recordation described above was part of an overall program of historic research, surface surveys, and subsurface excavations that formed the Bolsa Chica Archaeological Research Project. This project was conducted by ARI under the 6 direction of Roger Desautels and spanned a five-year period in the early 1970's (ARI 1970a, 1970b, 1971 a, 1971 b, 1973a, 1973b, 1975a, 1975b). Although Ora-83, Ora- 144, and Ora-86 were all 'lumped' during this research effort, Ora-86 was continually discussed separately as the 'northern' portion of the site or as Ora-83 NE. Early reports resulting from this research program constantly reference the introduction of foreign materials to the site as recorded above on the 1970 site re- recordation, and referenced elsewhere (ARI 1970b:8): In addition, the northern portion of the site, between the logging area and the property boundary line, has been covered with approximately three feet of peat. This was done in the mid-1960's to improve the soil for farming purposes. This statement indicates that Herring, Dixon and Eberhart, and PCAS prepared their site recordations prior to the placement of these materials, which explains why the previous descriptions indicated that the site soils were brown and not dark or black. Other disturbances to the site included residential building construction. The entire northern half (?) of the site was removed in 1973 (see Figure 11) which prompted the report to state that by 1973 the site no longer existed (ARI 1973b:23): Ora-86: Believed to be an extension of Ora-83, destroyed at this time. This statement was not only based on the fact that apartment houses had been built, essentially destroying the northern portion of the site area, but also that subsurface excavations had been conducted by ARI over the remainder of site (Figure 10) which produced few artifactual remains (ARI 1973a:8-9): ARI conducted a surface survey prior to excavations of Ora 83 [NE]. Excavations consisted of eight manually dug, 1.5 meter square control units, and ten thirty-six inch wide backhoe trenches of various lengths and depths. The manually excavated units were excavated in twenty centimeter levels with all soil defined as midden being screened through a quarter inch mesh screen. Excavation units were located according to surface indications, such as soil coloration and shell concentrations, which were observed in the preliminary surface survey..... Over half of the test area of Ora 83 was covered with from one to sixty centimeters of peat fill dirt. This sterile overburden was clearly distinguishable from the midden deposit below. The overburden was removed, without screening, in those control units affected.... Two distinct midden layers were evident. This portion of Ora 83 is covered with an orange clay-like madden with sparse shell content (predominately Pismo clam). Along the bluff edge, the orange, clay- like midden is overlain by a dark, friable midden with a heavier shell content (predominately scallop, cockle, oyster). Artifact descriptions within the report included measurements for millingstone fragments (2), handstone fragments (5), hammerstones (1), scrapers (1), utilized flakes (2), fish vertebra fragments (1), and chipping waste (8). The provenience of each artifact is not listed in the ARI report, however, assuming that the backhoe 7 i 1 trenches had an equal chance of yielding artifacts and that they were conservatively three times the volume of the hand units, then a rough estimate of artifact density can be made for comparative purpose with data previously collected by Eberhart (1966a, 1966b, 1968a, 1968b). The ARI inventory totals 20 items from 8 1 .5-meter hand units and 10 backhoe trenches, or 90 square meters [270 square feet] of surface area,. the rough equivalent of 54 five-foot square units. With 20 items distributed over 54 square meters, an average of slightly under one-half artifact were, therefore, recovered from a five foot square by the ARI excavations nearly the same yield as that of the Eberhart and PCAS investigations in 1966. Regarding this sparse yield, ARI commented (ARI 1973b:11): The artifact yield from this northernmost portion of Ora 83 is so low, and so fragmented, that it is not possible to make any definitive statements concerning the age of the site or the lifeways of the people based on artifact typology. The area has been so radically disturbed that no evidence of dwelling remains, campsites,or work areas are discernible. ARMC ASSESSMENT (1981) In 1981 , as part of an environmental impact report, ARMC prepared an Archaeological Resources Assessment for the entire Bolsa Chica area. Included in the document was an evaluation of Ora-86, based on the previous ARI test excavation data (ARMC 1981:14-15): In 1973, Theodore Cooley of ARI conducted archaeological investigations on three sites on the Bolsa Chica Mesa. The first site investigated by T. Cooley was the northernmost portion of Ora-83 (previously designated Ora-86). A surface collection of this portion of Ora-83 was made prior to any excavation. Excavation consisted of eight manually dug 1.5 by 1.5 meter square control units and 10 thirty-six inch wide backhoe trenches (Cooley [ARI] 1973). Over one-half of the test area of Ora-83 as covered with one to sixty centimeters of peat fill dirt. Two distinct midden layers were evident. Part was an orange clay-like midden with sparse shell content; close to the bluff this layer was overlain with a dark friable midden with heavier shell content. It appears that part of the midden had been removed from the area with the orange clay midden. Few artifacts were recovered and no further work in this area was recommended. SRS INVESTIGATIONS (1981-1982) During the early 1980's Scientific Resource Surveys, Inc. (SRS) under the direction of Roger J. Desautels conducted an archival search focused on understanding the nature and extent' of man's historic disturbance of archaeological site Ora- 83/144/86. The study emphasized delineating the portion of this site complex likely to be least disturbed and thus worthy of further archaeological work. In addition to report archives, the study included an extensive historic map search and aerial 8 photo review. A series of 20 aerialphotographs document the site from 1927 to p 1980 and each provided evidence of past historic disturbances to the area. Archaeological excavations in themselves are destructive. The 1973 aerial photograph of the property (Figure 11) showed ARI's excavations on Ora-86. Evidently the photograph was taken at the time that the excavations were in process. In 1980-1981 SRS was called upon to inspect a grading project being conducted by Mola Corporation on the extreme northern portion of Ora-86. The site was described by SRS (1987:21-22) as follows: The area under the northern part of the pole yard on Bolsa Chica Mesa was originally recorded as CA- ORA-86 by Dixon and Eberhart in 1964. The site was tested by Eberhart in 1966 (Marshall and Eberhart 1982). In 1970 Ross and Desautels (1970:7) determined that Ca-ORA-86 was actually part of CA-ORA-83. In 1973 this northern part of CA-ORA-83 was tested with backhoe trenches and hand excavation units (Cooley 1973). Cooley (1973:21) concluded that the 'northernmost portion of Ora 83 is substantially disturbed and the artifactual material recovered so scanty that that area of the site is of little, if any, archaeological value.' He recommended no further work in this area. Inspection of this area by SRS during development of the northern portion of this property in 1980 showed that the midden was redeposited, consisting of, by this time, a mixture of midden and peat from the wetlands. During the ARI investigations the introduced peat deposits could be easily distinguished from the underlying archaeological midden (ARI 1970a:9). However, by the 1980's this material had been homogenized with the lower soils and archaeological midden materials. In addition, the Mola grading profile (Figure 12) showed that the current northern edge of the site contained evidence of the redeposition described by earlier investigators. The bottom of the 'peat-filled midden' deposit ended abruptly in a sharp contact with the underlying biege-red soils, suggesting the area had been bladed or graded prior to midden re-deposition. In 1981, PCAS nominated the Ora-83/144/86 complex to the National Register of Historic Places (Figure 13). Only a small portion of the Sandover Project (the southeast corner) would be included in the nominated site area. The nomination forced another assessment of the integrity of this site complex, as reported by SRS (SRS 1981: 56-57): The excavations [ARI's 1973 work] revealed that the eastern area was the only portion of the northern half of the site which contained midden deposits. The excavations also revealed that the shell deposits were secondary in nature and had been redeposited from some other portion of this or an adjacent site. This secondary shell deposit was overlain by imported peat fill which originated in Bolsa Chica Lowlands to the south. Dr. William J. Wallace inspected the excavations and concurred with the conclusions of the investigators that this portion of the site was totally disturbed (Cooley 1973; Wallace 1973). These conclusions were in accord with those earlier stated by Eberhart. Therefore, the entire northern half of ORA-83 does not contain a primary midden deposit but appears to have been an area of historic fill. Based on this data ARI recommended against saving this portion of the site from destruction (Cooley 1973:21). 9 r Recent grading (1981) along the northern edge of this area verified the conclusions of Cooley, Wallace and Eberhart. Figure 24[current Figure 12] shows the subsurface redeposited madden layer overlain in this section, not by peat but by historic fill. The madden layer was discontinuous, contained imbedded metal debris and stopped sharply on the clay basement. Due to site integrity problems, the areas of both Ora-86 and Ora-144 were omitted from the nomination and a second form was submitted to the National Register of Historic Places. Only the extreme southern portion of the site remained in this nomination. The fact that Ora-86 was removed from this consideration, once again, reiterates that independent assessments had concluded the site was heavily disturbed and unable to provide important research data. FOURTH SITE RECORDATION (1988) AND INFOTEC SITE ASSESSMENT (1989) In 1988 INFOTEC re-surveyed Bolsa Chica and Huntington Beach Mesas for the Army Corps of Engineers and re-evaluated each of the archaeological sites on the mesa. As part of their assessment, Ora-86 was 'lumped' again with Ora-144 and Ora-83. The boundaries mapped by INFOTEC (Figure 14) essentially mirrored those of ARI in 1973 (Figure 9) and the report presented a summary of previously recorded information, adding no new site data. The extreme southeastern portion Ora-83 had been removed as a borrow area in 1976 after archaeological investigations in this area by ARI (ARI 1971 a). The INFOTEC map now excludes the borrow area from the overall site boundaries (INFOTEC 1988, 1989). FIFTH SITE RECORDATION (1991) AND CHAMBERS GROUPS ASSESSMENT In 1991 Chambers Group re-surveyed Ora-86 as part of a study of Metropolitan Water District parcels (44 acres) in the lowlands adjacent to Bolsa Chica Mesa. During the survey effort, a new site form was recorded which added new area to site Ora-86, now down in the lowlands (Figure 15): Pedestrian survey along the eastern boundaries of the site indicated shell extended beyond the site boundaries onto the Bolsa Chica lowlands. It is suggested the site boundaries be moved to include this lowland area, so it can be tested with the remainder of the site to determine the presence/absence of in-situ cultural remains (Chambers Group 1991). The investigations included an assessment of the site which provided an expanded justification of the new site boundaries: An examination of the base of the mesa and the adjacent agricultural field suggested that ORA 83/86/144 may extend into this area. The base of the mesa to the west (below the large borrow pit area) is densely covered with eucalyptus trees, many of which have been felled, creating a very difficult 10 landscape to survey. Visibility was poor at best. The few artifacts that were visible amongst the tree debris were modern. Further to the northeast, opposite the agricultural field, the base of the mesa contained marine shell, consisting of Chione, Argopecten, and Ostrea, species which were commonly exploited by Native Americans, but ones which also could have occurred naturally within a bay/estuary environment. However, a single chert uniface (stone tool) was also observed in this area. The marine shell extends as much as 200 m southeast onto the agricultural field where the surface density drops to less than 1 fragment/100 square meters. The field slopes gradually uphill from the base of the mesa. In the southwestern portion of the agricultural field, there are remnants of an equestrian area (corral) at the base of the mesa, and highly fragmented marine shell is also present there. Based on the presence of the economic marine shell species and the chert tool at the base of the mesa, it was decided to extend the boundary of the site ORA 83/86/144 to include the entire base of the mesa below the site as previously recorded, including the area of poor visibility covered with eucalyptus trees and debris. This latter area may also contain potential cultural deposits that are currently not visible. The adjusted site boundary for ORA-83/86/144 is shown in Appendix C [site record form]. COUNTY OF ORANGE SITE ASSESSMENT (1994) The condition and significance of this site was also summarized in the 1994 Bolsa Chica Project Local Coastal Plan prepared by the County of Orange. The site was evaluated at that time as follows (1994:4.12-21): ORA-86, located north of the Goodell property, was tested in 1973. Eight hand-excavated 1.5 by 1.5- m units and 10 backhoe trenches were employed in the test program (Cooley 1983). Part of the site was overlain by peat fill dirt up to a depth of 60 cm. Below this was an orange clay which contained sparse amounts of shell. Dark midden with heavier shell content was found only along the bluff edge. Very few artifacts were recovered. Given the stratigraphy documented at ORA-83 (Whitney-Desautels 1986), it appears that most of the cultural deposits have been removed from ORA-86 and replaced by peat fill. The orange clay was found below the cultural deposits at ORA-83. Cooley (1973:11) concluded that the site had been "radically disturbed" and that the artifact yield "is so low, and so fragmented, that it is not possible to make any definitive statements concerning the age of the site or the lifeways of the people based on artifact typology." Because of the disturbance and the low artifact yield, Cooley's (1973:21) recommendation was that the site was not significant as it appeared to be destroyed and no further investigation would be required. The southern boundary of ORA-86 has traditionally been drawn along the edge of the mesa. However, during the survey of the MWD parcel, Chambers Group (1991:Appendix G1) identified shell and a chert uniface at the base of the mesa. This shell extended as far as 200 m to the southeast onto an agricultural field at which point the surface density is less than one shell fragment/100m2. The site boundary has been redrawn to include a potential locus at the base of the mesa which extends a distance of about 70 m out onto the field. As indicated in this summary, the portion of the site on the mesa that is located west of Bolsa Chica Road, and onto the Sandover Project, did not contain midden deposits; these were confined to the bluff edge north of Goodell property, and even 11 the bluff edge deposits appeared to contain redeposited materials. PAR/PETRA SITE ASSESSMENT (1995) Petra archaeologists were retained by PAR Environmental Services, Inc. to conduct a re-survey of both Bolsa Chica and Huntington Beach Mesas and an assessment of 17 prehistoric archaeological sites. Part of the site assessment included an evaluation of site integrity as Petra reports (PAR 1995:28): The integrity of several of the prehistoric components has been compromised because of past impacts on these sites. Significant cultural materials no longer exist at CA-ORA-78/1-1 (prehistoric component), CA-ORA-84, CA-ORA-288, and CA-ORA-290. In addition, two sites, CA-ORA-86 and CA-ORA-289, originally consisted of materials that were redeposited at their present locations from elsewhere and are not in situ deposits. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Ora-86, Herring's Site E, has been the subject of 27 separate archaeological investigations as enumerated on Table 1, including at least 8 surveys, 5 site form recordations which required additional surveying, 3 surface collections, 2 excavation programs, 1 site inspection after grading, and 8 evaluations or assessments of the site for significance, all occurring from the 1920's to 1995. Site size and shape has been modified through time. Most significantly, although recorded as a distinct site, the site is frequently lumped with Ora-144 and Ora-83 as one continual midden encompassing all three sites. In 1960 when the site was first recorded (Herring 1961, 1967, 1968), the site was clearly situated 200 feet east of Bolsa Chica Road. It was described as a shell midden but lacked surface artifacts and at best probably represented a support camp for other mesa sites used for shellfish processing. Nearly forty additional years of site disturbance has included: continual plowing, discing, and deep ripping; a soils enhancement program with organic peat deposits from the lowlands mixed into the sediments, residential housing construction destroying the northern half (?) of the site; and constant pedestrian traffic from neighboring local residents. Excavation programs commenced in the late 1960's and early 1970's after the deposition of up to 60 cm of peat fill material. During those investigations, the fill materials were clearly visible and evidently could be distinguished from the underlying sediments. Since that time, however, constant plowing has homogenized these layers and appears to have spread cultural materials west of 12 Bolsa Chica Road where they did not originally exist. Both Eberhart (1966a, 1966b) and ARI (1973a) concentrated their excavation efforts on the bluff edge where Herring originally stated that the heavy concentrations existed and where he recorded his Site E. ARI excavated two backhoe trenches west of Bolsa Chica Road to verify that the deposits were indeed confined to the area east of the road, and then placed hand excavated units decidedly to the east. At least the northern edge of the site has received additional fill activities as shown when Mola Corporation removed substantial portions of the site for residential housing construction. Inspection of the remaining soils profile of the northern edge of Ora-86 revealed a light colored fill with metal debris overlying the peat/midden mix, which in turn had been bladed or removed and redeposited as shown by the sharp demarcation between this soil and the basal clays in the area. The 1980's and 1990's saw additional surveys mostly related to updated site recordations and assessments as part of environmental studies. In several cases (Chambers Group, Inc. 1991 ; INFOTEC 1989) these studies re-recorded the sites, extending the shell both west of Bolsa Chica Road and east of the eastern bluff edge down into the lowlands. The recent western extension of the site onto the southeastern portion of the Sandover Project has prompted this literature review in order to attempt to establish the cultural context of the Sandover materials. It appears from the numerous studies conducted over the years that the cultural items on the Sandover property have been displaced and redeposited from elsewhere, mostly through intensive agricultural efforts. 13 BIBLIOGRAPHY Archaeological Research Inc.
