MEMORANDUM
TO: Robert Eichblatt, City Engineer
1
FROM: Jim Otterson, Traffic Engin
SUBJECT: Talbert Avenue between olden West Street and Gothard Street and its
relationship to the Cross Gap Connector
DATE: December 10, 1991
At the December 2, 1991, City Council meeting a number of questions regarding traffic
conditions on Talbert Avenue were raised by Councilman Green (and others). I will attempt to
answer these questions in the order in which they were raised.
1. Have traffic model runs been prepared for the No Cross Gap Connector scenario?
Answer: Yes, the Bolsa Chica Local Coastal Program Traffic Analysis (prepared for the
Koll Company's Bolsa Chica Project E.I.R.) contains ten development scenarios,
and seven of these scenarios have traffic model runs for the "No Cross Gap
Connector" condition. Of the three remaining scenarios, two have been
previously modeled without a Cross Gap Connector component. Talbert Avenue
is not effected significantly by the construction or deletion of the Cross Gap
Connector. All of the traffic modeling scenarios have shown traffic volumes
between 5,300 and 5,900 vehicles per day on Talbert Avenue between Golden
West Street and Gothard Street.
2. Can the Cross Gap Connector be connected at the intersection of Edwards Street/Ellis
Avenue rather than at the proposed location (the western terminus of Garfield Avenue).
Answer: It is my understanding that the Cross Gap connector route was selected to
minimize grading operations. The present route would use a natural "gap" or low
point in the bluff line. The Edwards/Ellis intersection route would add significant
grading and fill along the bluff line. The cliffs are considered a significant
natural and coastal resource and efforts have been made to minimize impacts on
the bluff. It should be noted that previous attempts to reroute Ellis Avenue to
connect with the western portion of Talbert Avenue have been defeated by four
different City Councils. The Cross Gap Connector (at Edwards/Ellis) would
generate additional traffic on Ellis Avenue (through an existing quiet residential
area), which does not have convenient access to Beach Boulevard. Additionally,
a Cross Gap Connector alignment at Edwards/Ellis would require substandard
curve radii or construction of another right angle intersection (the southerly
extension of Bolsa Chica Road intersecting with the westward extension of Ellis
Avenue).

3. Will any housing units constructed in Phase 1 of the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan preclude
the connection of the Cross.Gap Connector at the Edwards/Ellis intersection?
Answer: No, but the parcel immediately west of the Edwards/Ellis intersection is to be
deeded by Pacific Coast Homes to Orange County for inclusion in the Linear
Park. Connecting the Cross Gap Connector at the intersection of Edwards/Ellis
will have a significant impact on the Linear Park.
4. What happens if the Cross Gap Connector isn't built?
Answer: This question actually has a two part answer.
The existing Development Agreement between Pacific Coast Homes and the City
specifies that Pacific Coast Homes will be required to mitigate (city-wide) the
traffic impacts of their development. This is stated on page 18, second
paragraph, of the current Holly-Seacliff Development Agreement. Please see
attached Figure 6 from the Bolsa Chica Traffic Analysis showing the system wide
traffic impacts of No Project(that is , no Bolsa Chica development) and No Cross
Gap Connector for a graphical presentation of likely street system level of service
deficiencies with Holly-Seacliff,Meadowlark, Waterfront, and other development
traffic.
The development (or lack of development) ultimately approved for the Bolsa
Chica will determine the traffic impacts on the City's street system. Assuming
that the Koll Company's current proposal (approximately 4,800 dwelling units)
is approved, it is likely that a number of street segments and intersections will be
deficient (please see attached Figure 18 from the Bolsa Chica Traffic Analysis,
which depicts 4,800 dwelling units in the Bolsa Chica with a Cross Gap
Connector).
If the Cross Gap Connector is not constructed emergency vehicle access times
will be significantly effected. The Fire and Police Departments would be able to
provide more specific information on this issue.
If Talbert Avenue between is deleted Golden West Street and Gothard Street, through traffic
currently traveling on Talbert Avenue will be diverted to Slater Avenue and Ellis Avenue.
Existing traffic on Slater Avenue (between Golden West and Gothard) is approximately 15,000
vehicles per day (vpd). Existing traffic on Ellis Avenue (between Golden West and Gothard)
is approximately 5,300 vpd. Future traffic volumes (post 2010, from a Bolsa Chica
Development modeling scenario with 5,700 dwelling units, a"worse-case" scenario) with Talbert
Avenue deleted from the Master Plan of Arterial Highways shows 15,900 vpd on Slater Avenue
and 7,500 vpd on Ellis Avenue. These traffic volumes represent levels of service (LOS) B and
A, respectively.
The Cross Gap Connector serves primarily north-south directed traffic and will have no
significant impact on Talbert Avenue between Golden West Street and Gothard Street.

CIWMB concerns were primarily associated with the types of waste the
project would generate and impacts to landfill capacity resulting
from the subsequent disposal of these materials . Staff explained
that waste materials will predominantly consist of asphalt concrete
which is completely recyclable. The comments and staff ' s responses
have been included in the Planning Commission staff report (see
Attachment No. 4) .
Prior to any action on Circulation Element Amendment No . 91-1, it is
necessary for the City Council to review and act on Negative
Declaration No. 91-36 .
ANALYSIS•
Circulation Element Amendment No. 91-1
The proposed project will delete the segment .of Talbert Avenue
between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets as an arterial . Circulation
Element Amendment No. 91-1 evaluates the Talbert Avenue deletion in
terms of the effects on 1) circulation patterns and projected
traffic volumes; 2) emergency vehicle response; 3) existing and
further land uses in the area; 4) the City' s participation in the
Orange County Arterial Highway Financing Program; and 5) adopted
City goals and policies . The Circulation Element Amendment No. 91-1
document attached to this report contains a detailed analysis of the
issues associated with the arterial deletion. The following is a
summary of the conclusions of Circulation Element Amendment No. 91-1 .
RCA - 12/2/91 -2- (1447d)
The subject segment of Talbert is a lightly used arterial (receiving
approximately 5,300 average trips per day) . Traffic counts
conducted by the Traffic Division have indicated that a significant
portion (approximately 33%) of these trips are related to Central
Library and associated activities . The remaining 3 , 500 through
trips when redistributed on surrounding arterials (primarily Slater,
Ellis, Goldenwest and Gothard) over a 24 hour period are considered
minor and can be adequately accommodated without experiencing any
noticeable deterioration in service level. All arterials in the
project vicinity are currently operating at a LOS of A or better and
are anticipated to continue to do so with the deletion of Talbert .
Furthermore, the subject segment of Talbert is never anticipated to
serve arterial level traffic volumes due to the previous deletion of
Talbert between Edwards and Goldenwest Streets which eliminated
potential use of the street as a connector route between the
residential area, located to the west of Edwards, and Beach
Boulevard. Build out trip projections anticipate an increase of
approximately 500 trips per day of which one third are library
related trips . Surrounding arterials are projected to operate at
LOS of C or better and will continue to do so with the deletion of
Talbert.
In summary, the proposed Circulation Element Amendment will allow
for the deletion of an unnecessary arterial designation, as
determined by both the City of Huntington Beach Traffic Division and
the OCEMA; and will provide potential safety benefits to library
patrons and park users by reducing the number and the speed of
vehicles in- the library vicinity.
The segment of Talbert Avenue between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets
will never realize secondary arterial levels of use and will
continue to be a minor component of the City' s arterial highway
circulation system. Furthermore, due to the low number of through
trips conveyed by this segment its proposed deletion will not
substantially disrupt current and future traffic flow and levels of
service in the area.
In addition the subject segment of Talbert is not a vital part of
the Fire Department emergency response route system and can- be
deleted without any noticeable effect on emergency response time in
the vicinity.
And finally, the deletion of Talbert is consistent with other
elements of the General Plan and will specifically facilitate
implementation of the goals and policies of the Circulation and
Community Facilities Elements .
RCA - 12/2/91 -3- (1447d)
Environmental Status :
On September 4, 1990, the Environmental Assessment Committee (EAC) ,
in its initial study of the project determined that the project
would result in several potential short-term impacts . However, all
impacts were associated with the parking lot development rather than
with the deletion of Talbert Avenue as an arterial . The EAC
determined that all potential adverse impacts could be mitigated to
a level of insignificance and recommended processing of a Mitigated
Negative Declaration for the project. All recommended mitigation
measures were incorporated into the project as conditions of
approval for the Central Library Parking Master Plan.
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act regulations in effect at this time, the Department of Community
.Development advertised draft Mitigated Negative Declaration No.
91-36 for 30 days . Written communications were received from the
Environmental Board and the California Integrated Waste Management
Board (CIWMB) . The Env-ironmental Board expressed concerns over the
suitability of construction of a parking lot near the landfill with
the potential hazards associated with methane in the area . In
response to the Board' s concerns, staff has clarified that the City
contracted with Kleinfelder, Inc. to prepare a Landfill Gas
Mitigation Investigation and Geotechnical Study. These studies
assess the methane and• _soi-1 conditions for the p.roj.ect. site and
detail methane ventilation methods and structural specifications for
safe parking lot development . The Board also requested
clarification on the proposed parking lot expansion for the Central
Library.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CIRCULATION ELEMENT AMENDMENT NO, 91-1:
I. Deletion of Talbert Avenue, between Goldenwest and Gothard ,
Streets will not result in substantial future impacts to
surrounding arterials and the ability of the Circulation System
to serve the Central Library area, since projected buildout
levels of service or surrounding arterials with the deletion
will be at LOS C or better.
2. Deletion of Talbert Avenue, between Goldenwest and Gothard
Streets, will not negatively impact the future provision of
emergency vehicle response to the Central Library area, since
several adequate alternative response routes are available
which will not deteriorate the Fire Departments five (5) minute
response time to the area.
3 . Deletion of Talbert, between Goldenwest and Gothard as an
arterial is consistent with the other elements of the General
Plan.
4 . Deletion of Talbert, between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets, is
consistent with Circulation Element policies for the
development of a system of arterial streets and highways that
ensures the safe and efficient movement of people and goods by
improving safety for library patrons and park uses by
downgrading the levels of traffic and traffic speeds in the
library area.
5. Deletion of Talbert, between Goldenwest and Gothard Strees, is
consistent with the Community Facilities Element policies for
providing adequate community facilities by providing adequate
parking facilities and providing a more cost effective use of
the property.
6. Deletion of Talbert Avenue, between Goldenwest and Gothard
Streets, will allow for removal of an unnecessary arterial
designation since previous deletion of Talbert Avenue, between
Goldenwest and Edwards Streets, prevented the possibility of
future arterial level use or the subject segment.

1. 0 INTRODUCTION
This document constitutes an amendment to the Circulation Element of
the Huntington Beach General Plan and is the first amendment to this
element for .1991. The Circulation Element was adopted as a mandated
element of :the General Plan in December, 1976; this is the sixth
amendment to the Circulation Element since its original adoption.
The adopted Circulation Plan of Arterial Streets and Highways is
presented in Figure 1-1.
1 . 1 Methodology
This report addresses a proposal by the City of Huntington Beach
Library Services Department to delete Talbert Avenue between
Goldenwest Street and Gothard Street from the Circulation Plan of
Arterial Streets and Highways (Figure 1-1) to allow for
implementation of the Central Library Parking Master Plan. The
proposed deletion is analyzed in Section 2 .0 in terms of existing
and proposed circulation patterns and traffic volumes, emergency
vehicle responses, impact on existing and planned land uses and
consistency with adopted City goals, and policies.
In order to evaluate arterial classifications needed to serve the
current and future traffic conditions, certain criteria and
assumptions are made regarding roadway capacities . The relationship
between arterial capacity and traffic volumes is typically expressed
by means of Levels of Service. The concept of levels of service
assumes that each type of arterial has an absolute limit to the
amount of traffic that it can accommodate and that conditions
rapidly deteriorate as traffic volumes approach that level . As
traffic approaches capacity, congested conditions are experienced.

FIGURE 1e1
The levels of service concept has established classifications A
through F for defining levels of service. The six levels of service
classifications are defined as follows :
Level of Service A: indicates no physical restriction on
operating speeds .
Level of Service B: indicates stable flow with few
restrictions on operating speed.
Level of Service C: indicates stable flow, higher volume,
and more restrictions on speed and lane changing.
Level of Service D: indicates approaching unstable flow and
little freedom to maneuver.
Level of Service E: indicates unstable flow, lower operating
speeds than level of Service D, and some momentary stoppages .
Level of Service F: indicates forced flow operation at low
speeds where the highway acts as a storage .area and there are
many stoppages.
The City of Huntington Beach has deemed a Level of Service of C as
an acceptable flow of traffic for link capacities (a link is the
portion of the roadway between two arterial intersections) , and a
LOS of D for intersections . The following table shows the roadway
capacity values the City uses for circulation analysis of each type
of facility.

In analyzing the proposed arterial deletion in this amendment, the
City planning staff utilized traffic generation volumes for the
arterials surrounding the proposed deletion and other information
provided by the City of Huntington Beach Traffic Division.

1.2 Environmental Status
On September 4, 1990, the Environmental Assessment Committee (EAC) ,
in its initial study of the project determined that the project
_would result in potential short-term wind/water erosion, air
quality, noise and circulation impacts, soils impacts, drainage
impacts and loss of mature trees. However, all impacts were
associated with subsequent parking lot development rather than with
the arterial highway deletion. The EAC determined that all
potential adverse impacts could be mitigated to a level of
insignificance and recommended processing of a Mitigated Negative
Declaration for the project. All recommended mitigation measures
were incorporated into the project.
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act regulations in effect at this time, the Department of Community
Development advertised draft Mitigated Negative Declaration No.
91-36 for thirty (30) days. Written communications were received
from the Environmental Board and the California Integrated Waste
Management Board (CIWMB) . The Environmental Board expressed
concerns over the suitability of construction of a parking lot near
the landfill and potential hazards associated with methane in the
area . In response to the Board' s concerns, staff clarified that the
City contracted with Kleinfelder, Inc. to prepare a Landfill Gas
Mitigation Investigation and Geotechnical Study. The studies assess
the methane and soil conditions for the project site and detail
methane ventilation methods and structural specifications for safe
parking lot development . The Board also --requested clarification on
the proposed parking lot expansion for the Central Library.
CIWMB concerns were primarily associated with the types of waste the
project would generate and impacts to landfill capacity resulting
from subsequent disposal of waste materials . Staff explained that
waste materials will predominantly consist of asphalt concrete which
is completely recyclable. Due to this and cities ' growing need to
reduce waste generation, to comply with AB 939 regulations, the
project ' s waste is anticipated to be recycled and thereby have an
insignificant effect on landfill capacity.

2 .0 AREA OF CONCERN
On November 20, 1990 the Planning Commission held a public hearing
on construction of the Central Library Expansion project
(Conditional Use Permit No. 90-49) . At that time, the expansion
project consisted of three separate phases .
Phase 1 consisted of construction of the entire library expansion
structure and occupancy of upper floor uses; Phase II consisted of
occupancy of lower level uses; and Phase III consisted of expansion
of parking lot facilities and reconfiguration of Talbert Avenue
between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets.
As part of its action at that time, the Planning. Commission
conditioned occupancy of Phase II uses upon approval of a Parking
Plan by the Planning Commission. Since then, the Department of
Library Services has requested construction of the Central Library
Expansion project in a single phase. As such, it has submitted a
Parking Master Plan for the library expansion. As part of that
Master Plan, Library Services and the Department Public Works are
also requesting the deletion of a segment of Talbert Avenue (between
Goldenwest and Gothard Streets) from the City' s Circulation Plan of
Arterial Streets and Highways . Staff has prepared Circulation
Element Amendment No. 91-1 to address that deletion.
2 . 1 Background
Talbert Avenue between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets is a secondary
arterial which runs east and west across the central portion of the
City of Huntington Beach. Additionally, Talbert Avenue has regional
significance because it continues into Fountain Valley where it
. bridges the Santa Ana River Channel and becomes MacArthur Boulevard
which continues through the cities of Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, Irvine
and Newport Beach.
-5- (1315D)
At the present time, Talbert Avenue terminates at Goldenwest Street
in the City of Huntington Beach. This has been its terminus since
1976 when Talbert Avenue from Edwards to Goldenwest Street was
deleted from the City' s Circulation Plan of Arterial Streets and
Highways in order to avoid bifurcation of Huntington Central Park.
2. 2 Analysis
This section analyzes the proposed deletion of the Talbert Avenue
between Goldenwest and Gothard Street in terms of the effects on 1)
circulation patterns and projected traffic volumes, 2) emergency
vehicle response, 3) existing and future land uses in the area, 4)
the City' s participation in the Orange County Arterial Highway
Financing Program, and 5) adopted City goals and policies .
2 . 2 . 1 Circulation Patterns and Projected Traffic Volumes
The following section analyzes existing traffic volumes and
circulation patterns in .the vicinity of the study area. The section
also projects future 2010 traffic volumes and circulation patterns
with the deletion of the subject segment of Talbert Avenue.
It should be noted that although Talbert does have some regional
significance, as previously mentioned, both the County of Orange and
the City' s Traffic Division have indicated that the previous
deletion of Talbert between Edwards and Goldenwest Streets, which.
eliminated the possible use of this segment of Talbert as a
connection route between the residences in the area to the west of
Edwards Street and Beach Boulevard, has virtually eliminated the
regional significance of this segment along with any chances that
the subject segment of Talbert will ever operate at secondary
arterial level. Therefore, it has been determined that this segment
of Talbert has little significance to regional circulation patterns `
and does not need to be addressed any further as a regional
accessway in this document.
Existing Traffic
As indicated in Figure 1-1, there are currently four arterials, in
addition to Talbert Avenue, on the Circulation Plan which are
intended to provide circulation in the Central Library area. Those
arterials are: 1) Slater Avenue which is a secondary arterial, 2)
Ellis Avenue which is a primary arterial, but is presently
constructed as a secondary arterial between Goldenwest and Gothard
Streets, 3) Goldenwest Street which is planned as a major arterial
but is presently constructed as a primary arterial, and 4) Gothard
Street which is designated as a secondary arterial.
Figure 2-1 depicts existing traffic volumes on the arterials in the
immediate project vicinity in terms of Average Daily Trips (ADT) .
Talbert Avenue presently conveys 5,300 (ADT) between Goldenwest and
Gothard Streets, of which approximately 33% (1, 767 ADT) are library
associated trips and 66% (3, 533 ADT) are through trips. Talbert
Avenue conveys 9, 700 ADT between Gothard Street and Beach
Boulevard. These volumes place Talbert Avenue at Level of Service
(LOS) A for a secondary arterial. The design capacity (LOS C) for a
secondary arterial would be 20, 000 ADT.

Slater Avenue presently conveys 15, 000 ADT between Goldenwest and
Gothard Streets and 15, 700 ADT between Gothard Street and Beach
Boulevard. These volumes place Slater Avenue at LOS A for a
secondary arterial .
Ellis Avenue is presently conveying 5,300 ADT between Goldenwest
Street and Beach Boulevard. This traffic volume indicates that
Ellis Avenue is operating at a LOS A for secondary arterial as it is
presently constructed.
Goldenwest Street presently conveys 20, 000 ADT between Ellis and
Talbert Avenues and 24, 000 ADT between Talbert and Slater Avenues .
These traffic volumes indicate that Goldenwest Street is operating
at a LOS A for a primary arterial .
Gothard Street presently conveys 14, 500 ADT between Ellis and
Talbert Avenues and 16, 000 ADT between Talbert and Slater Avenues .
These traffic volumes indicate that Gothard Street is operating at
LOS A for a primary arterial .
The remaining estimated 3, 500 through trips for the portion of
Talbert Avenue in question, when redistributed on surrounding
arterials (primarily Slater, Ellis, Goldenwest and Gothard) over a
24 hour period is considered minor and can be adequately
accommodated without experiencing any noticeable deterioration in
service level. All arterials in the project vicinity are currently
operating at a LOS of A and are anticipated to continue to do so
with the deletion of Talbert. '
Future Impacts of Deletion of Talbert Avenue as an Arterial. between
Goldenwest and Gothard
In order to examine the long-term impacts of the deletion of the
subject section of Talbert Avenue, the City Traffic Division and
planning staff conducted an analysis on a long range basis . The
analysis evaluates the proposed arterial deletion' s impacts on
surrounding arterials based upon projected build out (2010) traffic
conditions, as a worse case scenario. Baseline 2010 traffic
projections were determined using a Traffic Study prepared by LSA
Associates, Inc. for the Holly-Seacliff. area. Based upon the
previously determined percentage of library associated trips, it is
estimated that 3, 900 trips (approximately 67% of the 2010 projected
trips for the subject segment of Talbert) would be redistributed
onto surrounding arterials. Due to the proximity of Slater and
Ellis Avenues and Goldenwest and Gothard Streets, it is assumed that
a majority of the remaining trips will be redistributed onto these
arterials, with a minor percentage being re-routed onto other
periphery streets . It should be noted that traffic volume increases
to periphery streets resulting from the Talbert Avenue deletion were
considered negligible and therefore have not been specified here.
Figure 2-3 shows the projected 2010 traffic volumes and levels of
service on Slater, Ellis, Goldenwest and Gothard with the deletion
of Talbert Avenue between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets .

with Talbert Deletion
huntington beach planning division
Talbert Avenue is anticipated to convey approximately 9,700 ADT
between Gothard Street and Beach Boulevard. This volume will
continue to place Talbert Avenue at Level of Service (LOS) A for a
secondary arterial . It should be noted that anticipated trips along
this route are not anticipated to change due to the minor level of
use of this segment.
Slater Avenue is projected to convey approximately 15, 900 ADT
between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets and 19,000 ADT between
Gothard Street and Beach Boulevard. These volumes place Slater
Avenue at LOS B and LOS A, respectively, for a secondary arterial .
This indicates a slight deterioration to service levels along Slater
Avenue between Gothard and Beach under build out conditions;
however, it should be noted that the slight deterioration in service
level is anticipated to be primarily due to increase in the
development of the area rather than the deletion of Talbert Avenue
and that levels of service will still be well above the City' s
standard, at a LOS B.
Ellis Avenue is anticipated to convey approximately 7, 500 ADT
between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets and 6,2.00 ADT between Gothard
Street and Beach Boulevard. These traffic volumes indicate that
Ellis Avenue will continue to operate at a LOS A for a primary
arterial .
Goldenwest Street is projected to convey approximately 30, 800 ADT
between Ellis and Talbert Avenues and 34, 700 ADT between Talbert and
Slater Avenues . These traffic volumes indicate that Goldenwest
Street is anticipated to operate at a LOS A for a major arterial .
Gothard Street is projected to convey approximately 14, 200 ADT
between Ellis and Talbert Avenues and 19 , 100 ADT between Talbert and
Slater Avenues . These traffic volumes indicate that Gothard Street
is anticipated to operate at LOS A and LOS C for a secondary
arterial .
In summary, when projected build out trip generations along Talbert
Avenue are redistributed onto the surrounding arterials, over a
twenty-four hour period, there will be a negligible impact to the
levels of service of those arterials. Arterials in the project
vicinity are anticipated to operate at an LOS of C or better.
2.2 .2 Emergency Vehicle Response
Fire station planning in the City of Huntington Beach has proceeded '
with the understanding that through access between Goldenwest and
Gothard Streets will be available via Talbert Avenue as a secondary
arterial as indicated on the City' s Circulation Plan. The subject
Talbert segment provides the best access route from the Gothard
Street station (see Figure 2-3) to the Huntington Central Park area
located on the west of Goldenwest Street at Talbert Avenue.

FIRE STATION LOCATIONS
HUNTINGTON BEACH PLANNING DIVISION
However, the Fire Department has indicated that the primary
importance of the segment is to provide emergency access to the
Central Library which will be maintained and designed to Fire
Department standards . (The adequacy of accessways is primarily
determined by turning radii and street width and need not be
designated to arterial standards . The proposed parking lot design
can therefore provide sufficient emergency vehicle access) .
The Fire Department has stated that, although it is generally
preferred to have the maximum number of access routes possible, this
segment of Talbert, due to the existing and anticipated future
development patterns in the area and the presence of several
acceptable alternate routes (via Slater and Ellis Avenue) , has
little significance to their emergency service for the area.
Response times in the area currently comply with the city standard
of five (5) minutes and are expected to continue to do so regardless
of the deletion.
In summary, the primary significance of the segment of Talbert
Avenue between Goldenwest and Gothard Street is to provide emergency
access to the Central Library which will not be effected by the
proposed deletion. Furthermore, the subject segment provides
minimal benefits to Fire Department access capabilities in the
area . Alternate emergency response routes via Slater or Ellis
Avenue can provide adequate Fire Department access in the project
vicinity; therefore, the deletion of the subject segment of Talbert
Avenue will have a negligible impact to emergency fire response.
2..2.3 Land Uses
The subject segment of Talbert Avenue is surrounded to the north,
south and west by area designated as part of the Huntington Beach
Central Park. Areas to the east, across Gothard Street primarily
consist of industrial uses .
Originally, Talbert Avenue was identified as a secondary arterial
which ran from Edwards to Gothard Street. However, the segment of
Talbert between Edwards and Goldenwest Streets was subsequently
deleted (GPA No. 76-3) due to concerns associated with park use
compatibility.
Although land uses along the subject segment of Talbert are more
intense in nature than those along the previously deleted segment,
the same issues of incompatibility may still apply. Of primary
concern is the issue to safety. In its current state, the subject
segment of Talbert traverses an area used for library parking . This
requires some library patrons and park users to cross Talbert Aveune
traffic. The proposed deletion and the resulting decrease. in the
intensity of use (i .e. as a parking area) is expected to
significantly reduce conflicts between library/park pedestrian
traffic and arterial traffic by reducing traffic speeds and volumes
(and generally discouraging through traffic) in the library area.
i
-12- (1315D)
The segment of Talbert is also located in the vicinity of an
abandoned landfill site. Presence of peat and organic materials in
the vicinity have led to differential street settlement and creation
of depressions resulting from• the decomposition of these materials .
The underlying soils conditions combined with street usage has
resulted in a increase in the frequency of such depressions and has
created costly maintenance problems for the street. The Department
of Public Works has indicated that the deletion of this segment of
Talbert as an arterial will reduce the number of vehicles crossing
the property and will slow the creation of such sink spots, thereby,
reducing the City' s maintenance costs for the area.
A separate land use issue involves the use of the subject segment of
- Talbert Avenue as a means of access to businesses on Talbert
Avenue. There are presently a large number of small industrial and
automotive tennants on the north and south side of Talbert Avenue,
east of Gothard Street. Those businesses are typically accessed by
customers coming from Beach Boulevard to the east or from Goldenwest
Street from the west . Deletion of the subject segment of Talbert
Avenue would require that Goldenwest Street customers detour to
Ellis or Slater, then back to Talbert, to patronize the businesses.
Deletion of the Talbert segment may make the businesses on Talbert
more difficult to find and access for customers coming from
Goldenwest. That the number of customers to be impacted will be
fairly low, however, is borne out by . the low traffic volumes which
presently utilize the subject segment of Talbert.
The analysis in Section 2 .2 . 1 has indicated that the deletion of the
subject segment of Talbert Avenue is a very lightly used arterial
and- that its deletion will have a minor effect on the levels of
service or surrounding arterials . As described above, elimination
of the arterial status of the segment will provide safety benefits
to library patrons and parks users as well as possible maintenance
cost benefits.
2 .2 .4 Arterial Highway Financing Program
The County of Orange presently operates an Arterial Highway
Financing Program (AHFP) wherein the individual cities receive
funding for arterial highway construction and maintenance. Such
funding, however, is contingent upon consistency of the cities '
circulation plans with the County' s Master Plan of Arterial Highways
(MPAH) . In order to remain eligible for AHFP funding, any city
which amends its circulation plan must do so in a coordinated effort
with the County.
Since the subject segment of Talbert is shown on the County MPAH,
deletion of the extension by the City must be done according to the
amendment process adopted by the County. The process essentially
requires that the Orange County Environmental Management Agency
(OCEMA) be informed of the suggested amendment and then supplied
with all of the analytical data collected by the City. The OCEMA
then recommends approval or denial of the amendment to the Board of
Supervisors .
-13- (1315D)
This Circulation Element Amendment document follows the proper
procedure for analyzing an amendment to the Circulation Plan.
Because of the very short time-frame of this amendment, the OCEMA
has not been able to review the document. However, the City has
been working in a coordinated effort with the County during this
process . Preliminary discussion between the City staff and
OCEMA/Transportation Planning has revealed that the County is in
support of the proposed deletion and will make a recommendation to
the County Board of Supervisors to delete Talbert from the County
Master Plan of Arterial Highways, pending receipt of a City Council
Resolution requesting the deletion. Therefore, the deletion is not
anticipated to result in loss of the AHFP funds .
2.2 . 5 City Goals and Policies
The General Plan for Huntington Beach contains statements of goals
and policies which are intended to provide guidance and direction
for development of the City. Several separate elements contain
goals and policies which are applicable to the proposed deletion of
Talbert Avenue between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets.
The Circulation Element of the General Plan contains policies
related to the arterial highway system city-wide. The proposed
deletion of Talbert Avenue between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets is
consistent with following goals and policies adopted in Section
3 . 1.2 of the Circulation Element:
Goal
1. To provide a multi-mode transportation system that ensures the
safe and efficient movement of people and goods .
Policies
1. Develop a system of arterial streets and highways that ensures
the safe and efficient movement of people and goods .
2 . Support the establishment of public transportation systems
within the City that are directed toward meeting the mobility
needs of the community.
7. Provide a transportation system that is consistent with efforts
to minimize adverse environmental and aesthetic effect.
The land use compatability analysis in Section 2 .2 .3 of this
document indicated that downgrading of Talbert to a parking lot
access will reduce the number and speeds of vehicles in the library
area, and will provide for safer pedestrian circulation in the
library area which is consistent with goal 6 and policy 1. In
addition this section has determined that the subject segment is
located in the vicinity of an abandoned landfill. Underlying soils
conditions combined with arterial level street usage will result in
frequent occurrence of sink spots and dspressions in the street.
Deletion of Talbert will allow for more appropriate development of a
parking lot which will reduce the rate of sinkage and associated
maintenance costs and, therefore, is consistent with policy 3 .
-14- (1315D)
The traffic projections in Section 2 .2 . 1 of this document have
indicated that the subject segment of Talbert is a minor component
of the City' s Circulation System which is not likely to ever
experience arterial levels of use. Deletion of Talbert is
consistent with policy 2 by allowing for removal of an unnecessary
arterial .
The Community Facilities Element addresses the provision of
life-threatening hazards community facilities throughout the City
and contains goals and policies to provide adequate facilities in
the City. Section 3 . 5 . 6 of the Element contains the following
policies .
1. Promote the provision of adequate community facilities within
the City of Huntington Beach.
4 . Prior to constructing new community facilities, consider the
impact of those facilities on annual maintenance and operating
costs and staffing requirements for maintenance.
Since the deletion of Talbert will allow for subsequent development
of needed library parking, the deletion is consistent with policy
1. In addition, as previously mentioned, the deletion will allow
for more cost effective development of the property which is
consistent with policy 4 .
-15- (1315D)
3 . 0 SUMMARY
The proposed Circulation Element Amendment will allow for the
deletion of an unnecessary arterial designation, as determined by
both the City of Huntington Beach Traffic Division and the OCEMA,
and will provide. potential safety benefits to library patrons and
park users by reducing the number and the speed of vehicles in the
library vicinity.
The segment of Talbert Avenue between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets
is a lightly used arterial which due to previous deletion of its
westerly segment will never realize secondary arterial levels of use
and will continue to be a minor component of the City' s arterial
highway circulation system. Furthermore, due to the low number of
through trips conveyed by this segment its proposed deletion will
not substantially disrupt current and future traffic flow and levels
of service in the area. All surrounding arterials will continue to
operate at an LOS of C or better, both at present as in the year
2010 .
In addition the subject segment of Talbert is not a vital part of
the Fire Department emergency response route system and can be
deleted without any noticeable effect on emergency response time in
the vicinity.
And finally, the deletion of Talbert is consistent with other
elements of the General Plan and will specifically facilitate
implementation of the goals and policies of the Circulation and
Community Facilities Elements .

2 . 0 GENERAL INFORMATION:
The Departments of Public Works and Library Services are jointly
requesting the deletion of Talbert Avenue between Goldenwest Street
from the City' s Circulation Plan of Arterial Streets and Highways
with the replacement of the segment as parking area for the Central
Library. The projects have been processed concurrently under one
(1) mitigated negative declaration due to the overlapping locations
and issues of concern. This staff report separately addresses each
project starting with a summary of conclusions of Circulation
Element Amendment No . 91-1 followed by an overview of the Central
Library Parking Master Plan.
3 . 0 ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
On September 4 , 1990 , the Environmental Assessment Committee (EAC) ,
in its initial study of the project determined that the project
would result in potential short-term wind/water erosion, air
quality, noise and circulation impacts , soils impacts , drainage
impacts and loss of mature trees . However, all impacts were
associated with subsequent parking lot development rather than with
the arterial deletion. The EAC determined that all potential
adverse impacts could be mitigated to a level of insignificance and
recommended processing of a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
project . All recommended mitigation measures were incorporated into
the project as conditions of approval for the Central Library
Parking Master Plan.
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act regulations in effect at this time, the Department of Community
Development advertised draft Mitigated Negative Declaration No .
91-36 for 30 days . Written communications were received from the
Environmental Board and the California Integrated Waste Management
Board (CIWMB) . The Environmental Board expressed concerns over the
suitability of construction of a parking lot near the landfill with
the potential hazards associated with methane in the area . In
response to the Board ' s concerns , staff has clarified that the City
contracted with Kleinfelder, Inc . to prepare a Landfill Gas
Mitigation Investigation and Geotechnical Study. These studies
assess the methane and soil conditions for the project site and
detail methane ventilation methods and structural specifications for
safe parking lot development . The Board also requested
clarification on the proposed parking lot expansion for the Central
Library.
CIWMB concerns were primarily associated with the types of waste the
project would generate and impacts to landfill capacity resulting
from the subsequent disposal of these materials . Staff explained
that waste materials will predominantly consist of asphalt concrete
which is completely recyclable . Due to this and Cities ' growing
need to reduce waster generation, to comply with AB 939 regulations ,
the project generated waste is anticipated to be recycled and
thereby have an insignificant effect on landfill capacity. The
comments and staff ' s responses have been attached to this staff
report (see Attachment No . 5) .
Staff Report - 11/5/91 -2- (1275d)
Prior to any action on Circulation Element Amendment No . 91-1, it is
necessary for the Planning Commission to review and act on Mitigated
Negative Declaration No . 91-36 .
4 . 0 ISSUES AND ANALYSIS:
This section summarizes the analysis constained in Circulation
Element Amendment No . 91-1 and discusses the issues associated with
the proposed Central Library Parking Master Plan.
Circulation Element Amendment No . 91-1
The proposed project will delete the segment of Talbert Avenue
between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets as an arterial . Circulation
Element Amendment No . 91-1 evaluates the Talbert Avenue deletion in
terms of the effects on 1) circulation patterns and projected
traffic volumes ; 2) emergency vehicle response; 3) existing and
further land uses in the area; 4) the City' s participation in the
Orange County Arterial Highway Financing Program; and 5) adopted
City goals and policies . The Circulation Element Amendment No . 91-1
document attached to this report contains a detailed analysis of the
issues associated with the arterial deletion. The following is a
summary of the conclusions of Circulation Element Amendment No . 91-1 .
The subject segment of Talbert is a lightly used arterial (receiving
approximately 5 , 300 average trips per day) . Traffic counts
conducted by the Traffic Division have indicated that a significant
portion (approximately 33%) of these trips are related to Central
Library associated activities . The remaining estimated 3 , 500
through trips when redistributed on surrounding arterials (primarily
Slater, Ellis , Goldenwest and Gothard) over a 24 hour period are
considered minor and can be adequately accommodated without
experiencing any noticeable deterioration in service level . All
arterials in the project vicinity are currently operating at a LOS
of C or better and are anticipated to continue to do so with the
deletion of Talbert .
The proposed Circulation Element Amendment will allow for the
deletion of an unnecessary arterial designation, as determined by
both the City of Huntington Beach Traffic Division and the OCEMA,
and will provide potential safety benefits to library patrons and
park users by reducing the number and the speed of vehicles in the
library vicinity.
The segment of Talbert Avenue between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets
due to previous deletion of its westerly segment will never realize
secondary arterial levels of use and will continue to be a minor
component of the City' s arterial highway circulation system.
Furthermore, due to the low number of through trips conveyed by this
segment its proposed deletion will not substantially disrupt current
and future traffic flow and levels of service in the area .
Staff Report - 11/5/91 -3- ( 1275d)
In addition the subject segment of Talbert is not a vital part of
the Fire Department emergency response route system and can be
deleted without any noticeable effect on emergency response time in
the vicinity.
And finally, the deletion of Talbert is consistent with other
elements of the General Plan and will specifically facilitate
implementation of the goals and policies of the Circulation and
Community Facilities Elements .
Central Library Parking Master Plan
On November 20 , 1991 the Planning Commission held a public hearing
on construction of the Central Library Expansion project
(Conditional Use Permit No . 90-49) . At that time, the expansion
project consisted of three (3) separate phases .
Phase I consisted of construction of the entire library expansion
structure and occupancy of upper floor uses ; Phase II consisted of
occupancy of lower level uses; and Phase III consisted of expansion
of parking lot facilities and reconfiguration .of Talbert Avenue
between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets .
As part of its action at that time, the Planning Commission
conditioned occupancy of Phase II uses upon approval of a Parking
Plan by the Planning Commission. Since then, the Department of
Library Services has requested construction of the Central Library
Expansion project in a single phase. As such, it has submitted a
Parking Master Plan for the library expansion. It should be noted
that pursuant to previous Planning Commission direction this is only
a Parking Master Plan not a new Conditional Use Permit . This
section analyzes the proposed Central Library Parking Master Plan.
This section analyzes the two (2) primary issues associated with the
Central Library Parking Master Plan, specifically the .provision of
adequate parking and circulation and parking lot design.
The existing parking lot provides a total of 453 parking spaces .
These parking spaces are provided in two (2) areas, one 178 space
area north of Talbert adjacent to the library and another 275 space
are on the south side of Talbert .
The proposed Parking Master Plan will expand the boundaries of the
existing parking area, adjacent to the library, to incorporate the
Talbert Avenue right-of-way, a portion of the existing parking area
on the south side of Talbert, as well as an approximate 1 . 1 acre
strip of park area on the north side of Talbert and an approximate
0 . 7 acre strip on the south side of Talbert, into a single 705 space
lot (see Figure 1) .

ANTHONY AND LANGFORD AIA ciTr a.,.,-11-0.b-cx -
N I ARCHITECTURE•ENGINEERING•PLANNING CENTRAL LIBRARY EXPANSION
The City Zoning Code does not contain any specific parking standards
for libraries . However, staff believes that due to the intense
variety of uses previously approved for the library expansion
project, the library is more of a multi-media/resource center than a
traditional library. As such, staff . determined that parking
requirements for the expansion should be based upon the square
footage of each approved of use. Parking need for the library with
expansion was then calculated based upon the following ratios .
Office, reading rooms, and stack areas are parked at 1 space/300
square feet; and conference rooms and auditorium areas are parked at
1 space/35 square feet . Based upon these factors a total of 704
spaces would be required to serve the site.
The Parking Master Plan will provide a total of 704 spaces . This
consists of 333 standard size (9 ' x 19" ) spaces, 363 compact spaces
(of which 189 are 7 ' 9" x 12 ' 6" and 174 are 9 ' x 16 ' 6" ). and 8
handicap spaces . It should be noted that the proposed compact
spaces do not comply with compact parking. provisions of the zoning
code . The plan proposes approximately 52% compact spaces; this is
approximately 32% (222) spaces more than the 20% maximum (141)
spaces permitted by code . In addition, none of the compact spaces
meet the minimum 9 ' x 17" dimension requirements specified by code .
However, this is a conceptual plan and it is possible that 141 of
the 9 ' x 16 ' x 6" spaces can be redesigned to meet code by
incorporating surplus aisle width areas . The remaining 222 spaces
should be redesigned to comply with standard size parking space
requirements .
Circulation throughout the parking lot is provided via two (2) 30
foot wide main accessways one (1) which runs along the western
portion of the lot and provides access to the northern parking
spaces and the other which serves as the primary library accessway
and connects Goldenwest and Gothard Streets . The accessway .
incorporates curves and bends as well as two (2) traffic circles,
one (1) located near each entrance point to slow traffic and
discourage through trips . The exact configuration of traffic
circles have not yet been established and will be required to meet
Public Works standards .
Internal circulation and parking space access will be provided
through 27 foot wide drive aisles . These aisles exceed code
provisions which require a 26 foot aisle width.
The plan provides one (1) crosswalk between the primary accessway
and southerly parking areas, see A on Figure 1, to provide safe
pedestrian access to the library. Staff is requesting that the
Public Works Department look into the need for providing additional
crosswalks near the library enchance (see B, Figure 1) and/or a stop
sign at the intersection of the primary circulation route and the
aisleway which runs immediatly in front of the library (see C,
Figure 1) for incorporation on final plans .
Staff Report - 11/5/91 -5- (1275d)
Staff also recommends that the plan be designed to incorporate a
wider drop off/bus turnout in front of the new childrens library
(area D, Figure 1) so that drop off traffic won' t conflict with
other parking lot traffic. The primary accessway is currently 38
feet wide in this area and may be widened slightly to provide an
acceptable loading area . These elements have been incorporated as
conditions of approval .
5 . 0 RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Circulation
Element Amendment No . 91-1 with the following findings and the
Central Library Parking Master Plan with the following findings and
conditions of approval :
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CIRCULATION ELEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 91-1 :
1 . Deletion of Talbert Avenue, between Goldenwest and Gothard
Streets will not result in substantial future impacts to
surrounding arterials and the ability of the Circulation System
to serve the Central Library area, since projected buildout
levels of service or surrounding arterials with the deletion
will be at LOS C or better .
2 . Deletion of Talbert Avenue, between Goldenwest and Gothard
Streets , will not negatively impact the future provision of
emergency vehicle response to the Central Library area, since
several adequate alternative response routes are available which
will not deteriorate the Fire Departments five (5) minute
response time to the area .
3 . Deletion of Talbert, between Goldenwest and Gothard as an
arterial is consistent with the other elements of the General
Plan.
4 . Deletion of Talbert, between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets , is
consistent with Circulation Element policies for the development
of a system of arterial streets and highways that ensures the
safe and efficient movement of people and goods by improving
safety for library patrons and park uses by downgrading the
levels of traffic and traffic speeds in the library area .
5 . Deletion of Talbert, between Goldenwest and Gothard Strees , is
consistent with the Community Facilities Element policies for
providing adequate community facilities by providing adequate
parking facilities and providing a more cost effective use of
the property.
6 . Deletion of Talbert Avenue, . between Goldenwest and Gothard
Streets, will allow for removal of an unnecessary arterial
designation since previous deletion of Talbert Avenue, between
Goldenwest and Edwards Streets , prevented the possibility of
future arterial level use or the subject segment .
Staff Report - 11/5/91 -6- (1275d)

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
(Explanations of answers are included after each subsection.)
Yes Maybe No
1 . Earth. Will the proposal result in:
a. Unstable earth conditions or changes in geologic substructures? _ _ X_
b. Disruptions, displacements, compaction or overcovering of the soil? X-
C. Change in topography or ground surface relief features? X
d. The destruction, covering or modification of any unique geologic or physical features? _ X
e. Any increase in wind or water erosion of soils, either on or off the site? - X
Yes Maybe No
f. Changes in deposition or erosion of beach sands, or changes in siltation, deposition
or erosion which may modify the channel of a river or stream or the bed of the ocean
or any bay, inlet or lake? _ X
g. Exposure of people or property to geologic hazards such as earthquakes, landslides,
mudslides, ground failure, or similar hazards? _ X
Discussion (a—g) : Deletion of Talbert Avenue, between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets, from the City's
Circulation Plan of Arterial Streets and Highways consists of a map amendment and will not result in any
earth related impacts. However, subsequent development of the area .as a parking lot for Central Library
will result in some disruptions, displacements, compaction and overcovering of soil as well as changes in
topography and short—term increases in wind/water erosion.
(b,c,d) The proposed parking lot site currently slopes downward to the north. Existing elevations range
from approximately 47 feet at the southern edge of the site to 20.0 feet at the northern edge. Development
of the parking lot proposes grading;of the site to an elevation of 38.5 feet at the south edge, sloping
downward to the north to an elevation of 24 feet, as well as compaction and overcovering with paving and
landscaping. The proposed grading will alter the existing topography by leveling off the existing changes
in grade. The Public Works Department has reviewed the proposed plan and has indicated that the grading is
not anticipated to result in any significant adverse impacts. Drainage related impacts associated with the
proposed grading and paving have been discussed under #3. b.
Trading and construction of the proposed project area are anticipated to result in short—term increases in
wind and water erosion in the area. Increased water erosion may potentially impact siltation in Talbert
Lake. However with implementation of mitigation measures no. 1 & 2 contained below, no significant impact
is anticipated.
(a & g) The project is not located within the Alquist—Priolo Special Hazards Study Zone; however the
southern edge of Talbert Avenue is bounded by the Huntington Beach Landfill . Kleinfelder, Inc. has prepared
a geotechnical report which analyzes the suitability of the project site for development of the proposed
parking lot. The study found a deep layer of organic material which may result in surficial settlement over
_he long—term due to decomposition. Parking lot maintenance issues have been discussed under 14. However,
:he study indicates that analysis of organic materials do not reveal highly active decomposition rates. The
report concluded that the parking lot could be developed as proposed using surficial grading to improve site
characteristics.
Although most of the parking areas are proposed to be located north of Talbert Avenue, some of the areas are
proposed for the south side of Talbert and may be located over the landfill . The study discussed above did
not analyze areas south of Talbert; therefore, suitability of soils south of Talbert for parking lot
development is not known. However with implementation of mitigation measures no. 3 contained below, no
significant impacts are anticipated.
Mitigation:
1 . During construction, the applicant shall :
a. Use water trucks or sprinkler systems in all areas where vehicles travel to keep damp enough
to prevent dust raised when leaving the site;
b. Wet down areas in the late morning and after work is completed for the day.
Environmental Checklist —2— (0627d)
Yes Maybe No
2. Prior to issuance of a grading permit a grading plan shall be submitted to the Department of Public
Works for approval . A plan for silt control for all water runoff from the property during construction
and initial operation of the project will also be submitted prior to issuance of grading permit.
3. Prior to issuance of grading permits, a detailed soils analysis shall be prepared by a registered Soils
Engineer for proposed parking areas located on the south side of Talbert. This analysis shall include
on—site soil sampling and laboratory testing of materials to provide detailed recommendations regarding
grading, soil corrosivity, fill properties, foundations, retaining walls, streets, and utilities.
2. Air. Will the proposal result in:
a. Substantial air emissions or deterioration of ambient air quality? _ X
Discussion: Deletion of the segment of Talbert Avenue is not anticipated to result in substantial increases
in air emissions. Although removal of the arterial will result in the rerouting of trips onto surrounding
arterials, a study conducted by the Traffic Division to assess impacts associated with deletion of the
arterial , has indicated that trips on this segment of Talbert consist primarily of Library customers. The
number of through trips which would -be rerouted was determined to be insignificant. Furthermore, the
additional distance traveled as a result of the reroute was determined to be one mile. Rerouting of
additional trips onto more efficiently operating surrounding arterials is not anticipated to result in any
significant adverse air quality impacts.
Some additional short—term dust and construction equipment emissions may result during the grading and
construction phases of the proposed parking lot development. However, with implementation of the mitigation
measure no. 1 from the earth impacts section and the mitigation measure identified below, no significant
adverse impacts are anticipated.
Mitigation:
1 . During construction, the applicant shall :
a. Use low sulfur fuel ( .05% by weight) for construction equipment;
b. Attempt to phase and schedule construction activities to avoid high ozone days (first stage
smog alerts);
C. Discontinue construction during second stage smog alerts.
b. The creation of objectionable odors? _ _ X
C. Alteration of air movement, moisture, or temperature, or any change in climate, either
locally or regionally? _ _ X
Discussion (b—c) : No objectional odors or climatic changes are anticipated to result from the proposed
project.
3. Water. Will the proposal result in:
a. Changes in currents, or the course of direction of water movements, in either marine or
fresh waters? _ _ X
Discussion: See 3b.
Environmental Checklist —3— (0627d)
�. Yes Maybe No
Discussion: See 3b.
b. Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface runoff? X
Discussion: Deletion of Talbert Avenue as an arterial , between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets, is not
.anticipated to result in any drainage impacts. However, subsequent parking lot development may alter
drainage and runoff in the area. Runoff in the area currently flows toward Talbert Lake. Drainage from
properties located to the south passes through the proposed project site. Proposed grading for subsequent
parking lot development may alter drainage patterns in the area. However, with implementation of mitigation
measures identified below, runoff from southern properties will not be obstructed. No significant impacts
to drainage patterns are anticipated.
Development of parking facilities will result in an increase of impervious surfaces in the area which in
turn, will result in an increase in runoff. Parking area runoff will be collected on—site and will be
directed into the City's storm drain system. With implementation of mitigation measures identified below,
no significant impact is anticipated.
Over the long—term, decomposition of underlying organic materials may result in the formation of depressions
which may trap runoff and prevent proper drainage. However, drainage impediments resulting from such
depressions are anticipated to be minimal and can be reduced further through diligent parking lot
maintenance. No significant impact is anticipated.
Mitigation:
1 . Prior to issuance of grading permit, hydrology/hydraulic studies shall be submitted to the Public Works
Department for approval .
2. Drainage flows from adjacent properties shall not be obstructed. Flows shall be accommodated per
Public Works requirements.
C. Alterations to the course or flow of flood waters? _ _ X_
Discussion: The project site is not located in the flood zone and does not propose any structures or
activities which will alter flood courses or flood flows.
d. Change in the amount of surface water in any water body? _ _ X
Discussion: See 3b.
e. Discharge into surface waters, or in any alteration of surface water quality, including
but not limited to temperature, dissolved oxygen or turbidity? _ X
Discussion: Se 3b.
f. Alteration of the direction or rate of flow of ground waters? _ _ X
Discussion: The proposed project does not involve any activities which will alter groundwaters.
g. Change in the quantity of ground waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals,
or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations? _ _ X
Discussion: See 3f.
Environmental Checklist —4— (0627d)
Yes Maybe No
h. Substantial reduction in the amount of water otherwise available for public water
supplies? — _ X
Discussion: Deletion of Talbert and construction of the proposed parking facilities is not anticipated to
result in substantial increases in water usage or depletion of public water supplies. Primary water usage
will be for irrigation of landscaped areas and is not anticipated to be significant.
i . Exposure of people or property to water related hazards such as flooding or tidal waves? _ _ X
Discussion: See 3c.
4. Plant Life. Will the proposal result in:
a. Change in the diversity of species, or number of any species of plants (including trees,
shrubs, grass, crops, and aquatic plants)? _ X
Discussion: See 4b.
b. Reduction of the numbers of any mature, unique, rare or endangered species of plants? X
Discussion: Subsequent development of the parking lot will result in the removal of several shrubs and
mature trees. However, with implementation of mitigation measure identified below,.. no significant impacts
are anticipated.
Mitigation:
1 . Prior to issuance of grading permits, plans depicting the location, type, size, and quantity of
all existing plant material which will be removed or relocated as a result of the parking lot
development shall be submitted to the Departments of Community Development and Public Works plans.
2. Existing mature trees on the site shall be retained and incorporated into the site plan if
feasible. Any existing mature tree that must be removed shall be replaced at a 2:1 rati.o with 36"
box trees which shall be incorporated into the project's landscape plan.
C. Introduction of new species of plants into an area, or in a barrier to the normal
replenishment of existing species? X _
Discussion: Subsequent development of the parking lot proposes provision of minor landscaped areas which
may result in the introduction of new plant materials in the area. However, no significant impact is
anticipated.
d. Reduction in acreage of an agricultural crop? _ _ X
Discussion: No agricultural crop will be impacted.
5. Animal Life. Will the proposal result in:
a. Change in the diversity of species, or numbers of any species of animals (birds, land
animals including reptiles, fish and shellfish, benthic organisms or insects)? _ X
b. Reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare or endangered species of animals? — X
Environmental Checklist =5— (0627d)
Yes Maybe No
C. Introduction of new species of animals into an area, or result in a barrier to the._
migration or movement of animals? _ _ X
d. Deterioration to existing fish or wildlife habitat? _ X _
Discussion (a-d) : Subsequent development of Central Library Parking facilities will result in the removal
of some shrubs and several mature trees. The plant materials to be removed constitute a small portion of
the Central Park area and is not anticipated to have a significant impact on animals which may use the area
since other areas of the park will still be available.. Previously prepared biological assessments (EIR
89-7) of the proposed area have indicated that the project area is not used by any unique, rare or
endangered species. No significant adverse impact is anticipated.
6. Noise. Will the proposal result in:
a. Increases in existing noise levels? _ _ X
b. Exposure of people to severe noise levels? _ _ X
Discussion: Deletion of Talbert Avenue and subsequent development of Central Library Parking Areas is not
anticipated to result in any substantial increases in noise in the project area. Additional traffic
re-routed, as a result of the deletion of Talbert, is not anticipated to be substantial . Noise impacts
resulting from additional traffic when distributed among surrounding arterials is considered negligible.
Some short-term noise impacts may result from grading and construction activities associated with parking
lot development. However, with implementation of the mitigation measure identified below, no significant
impact is anticipated.
Mitigation:
1 . Construction shall be limited to Monday - Saturday 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Construction shall be
prohibited Sundays and Federal holidays.
7. Light and Glare. Will the proposal produce new light or glare? _ _ X
Discussion: Deletion of Talbert Avenue and subsequent development of Central Library parking areas is
anticipated to result in an increase of parking area lighting for security purposes. However, the project
area is not located adjacent to any sensitive uses. With implementation of the mitigation measure
identified below, no significant impact is anticipated.
Mitigation:
1 . If lighting is included in the parking lot and/or recreation area energy efficient lamps shall be used
(e.g. , high pressure sodium vapor, metal halide). All outside lighting shall be directed to prevent
"spillage" onto adjacent properties.
8. Land Use. Will the proposal result in a substantial alteration of the present or planned
land use of an area? X
Environmental Checklist -6- (0627d)
Yes Maybe No
Discussion: The project consists of a Circulation Element Amendment. The amendment proposes deletion of
Talbert Avenue, between Goldenwest and Gothard Streets, from the City's Circulation Plan of Arterial Streets
and Highways to allow for construction of additional parking facilities for the Central Library. The
project will locate a parking lot over the existing streets. Surrounding properties consisting of parking
area (to be abandoned), vacant land fill to the south, library and park facilities to the north and
Goldenwest and Gothard Streets to the west and east, respectively. The proposed project design will
maintain library access from both Goldenwest and Gothard Streets but will discourage through traffic.
The Public Works Department has analyzed compatibility issues associated with removal of this segment of
Talbert Avenue and construction/operation of a parking area. Their analysis resulted in the following
findings.
Traffic counts conducted for this segment of Talbert indicate that trips are minimal and primarily
consist of library customers. If Talbert Avenue were effectively closed to through traffic,
rerouted trips could easily be accommodated by Slater, Ellis, Goldenwest and Gothard. Therefore,
based upon traffic volumes, the library section of Talbert is not necessary for through movements.
The proposed parking lot layout maintains through access between Gothard and Goldenwest Streets
and .allows for Fire Department response movement. Fire response will also be augmented with the
installation of opticom devices on Ellis. No significant adverse impact to Fire response time is
anticipated.
Based upon geotechnical studies which have identified the presence of landfill/organic materials
and previous differential settlement along this reach of Talbert, which has been accelerated by
arterial level traffic use, it is recommended that Talbert be reduced to a library accessway.
Based upon the above, as well as a compatibility with surrounding land uses, no significant adverse land use
impacts are anticipated.
9. Natural Resources. Will the proposal result in:
a. Increase in the rate of use of any natural resources? X
b. Substantial depletion of any non—renewable natural resource? _ _ X
Discussion (a,b) : Deletion of Talbert Avenue and construction of the Central Library parking lot is not
anticipated to result in any substantial increases in the use of natural resources or energy supplies.
10. Risk of Upset. Will the proposal involve:
a. A risk of an explosion or the release of hazardous substances (including, but not
limited to oil , pesticides, chemicals or radiation) in the event of an accident or
upset conditions? _ _ X
b. Possible interference with an emergency response plan or an emergency evacuation plan? _ X
Discussion: The project proposes deletion of Talbert Avenue as an arterial . However, emergency access
between Gothard and Goldenwest Streets through the project site will still be available. Emergency fire
response will also be augmented with the installation of opticom devices on Ellis.
11 . Population. Will the proposal alter the location, distribution, density, or growth rate of
Environmental Checklist —7— (0627d)
r`
t= Yes Maybe No
the human population of an area? _ _ X
Discussion: The project will not impact population, location, distribution, density or growth in the area.
12. Housing. Will the proposal affect existing housing, or create a demand for additional housing? _ — X
Discussion: The project will not affect housing in the area.
13. Transportation/Circulation. Will the proposal result in:
a. Generation of substantial additional vehicular movement? X
Discussion: The proposed expansion of the library is primarily intended to serve existing uses which
currently operate from the Central Library; the only true expansion of use will result from the operation of
the theater. Therefore, increases in existing trip generation are only anticipated in association with the
theater facilities. Library Services has indicated that theater use will be limited to the evenings during
the week and on afternoons and evenings during the weekends. Based upon this, the Traffic Division has
determined that trip generations resulting from the project will not impact peak hour traffic. Therefore,
no significant adverse traffic impacts are anticipated.
Furthermore, the Traffic Division has analyzed traffic impacts associated with week day morning and
afternoon usage of the theater which would increase peak hour traffic. Based upon this worse case analysis,
the Traffic Division has determined that traffic increases resulting from the prbposed project are not
anticipated to be substantial . No significant adverse impact is anticipated.
b. Effects on existing parking facilities, or demand for new off—site parking? _ X
Discussion: The City of Huntington Beach zoning code does not contain any specific parking standards for
libraries. Staff has analyzed the parking required to serve the library expansion. Parking need was
assessed based upon parking generation factors for existing and future uses in the library (1/300 sq. ft.
for offices, reading rooms and stacks and 1/35 sq. ft. for conference rooms) . Based upon these factors, a
total of 705 spaces will be required to serve the expansion. The proposed plan shows 705 spaces. No
significant adverse parking impacts are anticipated.
C. Substantial impact upon existing transportation systems? _ X
d. Alterations to present patterns of circulation or movement of people and/or goods? X
Discussion: Talbert Avenue is currently a secondary arterial which provides east/west circulation through
the City. Talbert also continues through Fountain Valley and crosses over the Santa Ana River Channel to
connect with Macarthur Blvd. in the cities of Costa Mesa and Santa Ana. The project proposes deletion of
Talbert Avenue as a secondary arterial from its existing terminus, at Goldenwest Street, to Gothard Street
to the east. Through traffic will not be obstructed; but, through the proposed design, will be
discouraged. The Traffic Division has conducted traffic counts along the subject segment. The counts have
indicated that trips along this segment are predominantly library oriented and that use of this route by
through traffic is minimal . Furthermore, previous deletion of Talbert Avenue, between Goldenwest and
Edwards Streets, has effectively prevented the possibility of arterial level traffic use along the subject
segment of Talbert. The Traffic Division has determined that re—routed through trips can adequately be
accommodated by surrounding arterials.
The City has also received notice from the County of Orange EMA that they support the elimination of the,
subject section of Talbert and will recommend to the County Board of Supervisors the deletion of Talbert
Avenue from the County Master Plan of Arterial Highways.
Environmental Checklist —8— (0627d)
Yes Maybe No
Some short—term circulation impacts are anticipated during the grading and construction phases of the
proposed parking lot. During these phases it is expected that library access and through traffic will be
obstructed. However, obstructions will be short—term and with implementation of the mitigation measure
identified below, no significant adverse impact is anticipated.
Mitigation:
1 . Prior to issuance of grading permits, a traffic control plan shall be submitted to Public Works for
approval .
e. Alterations to waterborne, rail or air traffic? — _ X
f. Increase in traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians? — _ X
Discussion: Deletion of Talbert Avenue combined with expansion and reconfiguration of the library parking
facilities will eliminate existing hazards associated with pedestrian traffic crossing Talbert Avenue from
existing parking areas located on the southside of Talbert. These parking areas will be abandoned once new
parking facilities are available.
1�. Public Services . Will the proposal have an effect upon, or result in a need for new or
altered governmental services in any of the following areas:
a. Fire protection? X_
b. Police protection? _X

d. Parks or other recreational facilities? X
Discussion: The proposed parking lot will not encroach onto usable park areas. No significant adverse
impacts are anticipated.
e. Maintenance of public facilities., including roads? X _
f. Other governmental services? _ X
Discussion (e,f) : Proposed parking facilities will be constructed and maintained by the City. . However, the
Public Works Department has indicated that maintenance of the parking facilities would be snore cost
efficient than maintenance of Talbert Avenue as a secondary arterial . Existing City services can adequately
accommodate construction and maintenance of the proposed project. No significant impact is anticipated.
15. Energy. Will the proposal result in:
a. Use of substantial amounts of fuel or energy? _ _ X
b. Substantial increase in demand upon existing source of energy, or require the
development of sources of energy? — _ X

21 . Mandatory Findings of Significance.
a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, sub—
stantially 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 California history or
prehistory? _ X
Discussion: See discussion for item #5.
b. Does the project have the potential to achieve short—term, to the disadvantage of
long—term, environmental goals? (A short—term impact on the environment is one which
occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long—term impacts will
endure well into the future.) X
C. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively consid—
erable? (A project may .impact on two or more separate resources where the impact on
each resource is relatively small , but where the effect of the total of those impacts
on the environment is significant.) _ X
d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects
on human beings, either directly or indirectly? _ _ X
DETERMINATION
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 NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL
BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT is required.

31TE PLAN
705 PARKING ;DACES
MASTER PARKING PLAN
RESPONSE TO COMMENTS RECEIVED ON
NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 91-36
1 . Environmental Board Comment :
A subcommittee of the Board has reviewed the assessment and
with the endorsement of the full Board recommends that more
information be developed concerning Items 1(a) and (g) ,
specifically the suitability of the former landfill area
south of Talbert which is proposed for development as a
parking lot . For example, Staff reports in relevant part
as follows :
"Kleinfelder, Inc . has prepared a geotechnical report
which analyzes the suitability of the project site for
development of the proposed parking lot . The study
found a deep layer of organic material which may result
in surficial settlement over the long-term due to
decomposition . . .However , the study indicates that
analysis of organic materials do not reveal highly
active decomposition rates . The report concluded that
the parking lot could be developed as proposed using
surficial grading to improve site characteristics .
Although most of the parking areas are proposed to be
located north of Talbert Avenue, some of the areas are
proposed for the south side of Talbert and may be
located over the landfill . The study discussed above
did not analyze areas south of Talbert ; therefore ,
suitability of soils south of Talbert for parking lot
development is not known . However , with implementation
of mitigation measures (sic) no . 3 contained below, no
significant impacts are anticipated . "
Mitigation measure no . 3 provides ,
"Prior to issuance of grading permits , a detailed soils
analysis shall be prepared by a registered Soils Engineer
for proposed parking areas located on the south side of
Talbert . This analysis shall include on-site soil sampling
and laboratory testing of materials to provide detailed
recommendations regarding grading , soil corrosivity, fill
properties , foundations , retaining walls , streets , and
utilities . "
The Board believes that given the potential for methane gas
leakage and explosion, questions concerning the suitability of
the former landfill area south of Talbert for Development as a
parking lot should be answered before the Planning Commission
grants approval of the project .
Response:
This issue has been dealt with in detail in Kleinfelder ' s
study entitled "Gothard Street Landfill Gas Migration
Investigation" dated September, 1991 and also in their
Geotechnical Study dated October 9 , 1990 , which was
specifically developed for this proposed parking lot
design . The Methane Migration Study recommends the type of
Methane Mitigation Measure, specifically a methane
ventilation system to be installed under the parking lot .
The Geotechnical Study specifically details what type of
structural section this parking lot should receive,
considering underlying refuse and peat . The Public Works
Department has indicated that should the project be
approved, the City will implement the recommendations of
both studies in construction of the project .
2 . Environmental Board Comment :
The Board also recommends clarification of the discussion
in response to Item 13 (b) . Item 13 (b) says that the
project may have an impact on existing parking facilities .
The discussion says in relevant part that ,
"The City of Huntington Beach zoning code does not
contain any specific parking standards for libraries .
Staff has analyzed the parking required to serve the
library expansion . . . a total of 705 spaces will be
required to serve the expansion. The proposed plan
shows 705 spaces . No significant adverse parking
impacts are anticipated .."
The Board wonders whether Staff might find library parking
requirements in a source other than the City ' s zoning
code . For example , in the County Building Code, or in
another source addressing the parking needs of public
buildings in general . Also, the Board recommends
clarification by Staff of the issue of the 705 parking
spaces shown by the plan. Are these 705 additional spaces
that don ' t exist today, or is this the number of spaces
presently existing?
Response:
Although the City zoning code does not provide specific
parking requirements for library uses , staff believes that
due to the combination of facilities which will be
available at the Central Library, the completed library
will be more of a resource center than a traditional
library. As such, the library is anticipated to generate a
greater level of activity than a traditional library. Due
to this , staff determined that required parking for the
library expansion should be based upon the total number of
spaces required for each specific use .
The required parking was calculated as follows . Parking
for office, reading room and slack areas was calculated at
one space per 300 square feet based upon the City' s parking
standards for office space . Conference room and auditorium
areas were parked at one. space per 35 square feet based
upon the City' s parking' requirement for public meeting
facilities . Using these standards , the total parking
required for the library, once completed, is 705 spaces .
The library presently provides 453 spaces ; the proposed
project will .reconfigure and expand the existing parking
area to provide a total of 705 spaces .
3 . CIWMB Comment :
In order to help decision-makers , l) identify potential
impacts from construction and demolition projects , 2)
determine whether any such impacts are significant, and 3)
ascertain whether significant impacts can be mitigated to a
level of insignificance, CIWMB staff request that the final
ND include the following information:
A. Since mitigated measures are included in the
document , the title of this document ' should be
changed to "Mitigated Negative Declaration . "
B . Identification of the final disposal site(s) for
the project ' s anticipated waste generation .
C . Identification of the anticipated types and
quantities of solid wastes to be generated upon
implementation of the plan; both during
construction phases and at the project completion .
D . Identification of the potential impacts of these
quantities on remaining landfill capacities and the
calculated site-life associated thereof .
Response:
(A) Comment noted .
(B, C,
D) The project has not been approved , as such, no
contractor has been selected to construct the new
parking facilities . Therefore, it is not known
which landfill facilities contractors will be used
to dispose of waste materials . Although the city
cannot legally require that the contractor dispose
of the waste materials at any specific site, it
should be noted that there is an existing pavement
recycling center located at the southwest corner of
Talbert and Gothard, adjacent to the project site,
which is a possible disposal site for the materials :
Furthermore, waste materials will predominantly
consist of asphalt concrete (A.C. ) which is
completely recyclable . In light of new
legislation (AB 939) which requires cities to
reduce their waste generation, it is
anticipated that the materials will be
recycled, wherever they are disposed of and
will , therefore, have a negligible impact on
landfill capacities .
4 . CIWMB Comment :
The construction of new parking facilities may increase the
generation of waste being sent to landfills . To minimize
the amount of solid waste going into landfills , staff
recommends that- the following measures be considered in the
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) :
A. Implementation of a recycling program at any
parking facilities .
B . Promote the use of products made of recycled
materials (e . g . , asphalt , inerts) in 'the
construction of structures for the project .
C. Promote the inclusion of waste collection storage
areas such as drop off bins into the design of the
project .
Response:
(A, B, C) The project is a flat parking lot . It will
employ A.C . on aggregate base or full depth
A.C. All of these products are recyclable .
Implementation of recycling programs and promotion of bins
is not anticipated at this time; however , the library board
at some later date might consider such a proposal for the
whole lot .
5 . CIWMB Comment :
A. Page 2 , discussion on items (a) and (g) . The MND
stated that the southern edge of Talbert Avenue is
bounded by the Huntington Beach Landfill . It is also
stated that other proposed parking areas will be
located on the south side of Talbert Avenue and may be
located over the landfill . While it is true that
Kleinfelder, Inc . has prepared a geotechnical report
which analyzes the suitability of the project site for
development of the proposed parking lot , there was no
mention in the study of possible exposure of
construction workers to landfill gas and how it will be
mitigated, as a result of disruptions , displacements
and compaction of soil materials .
B. Because of the potential impact to the public---health
and safety, what precautionary measures will be taken?
Would there be a Health and Safety Plan developed?
C. Is the Huntington Beach Landfill active or closed?
D. Would there be an enclosed structure ( i . e . , guard
house) in the proposed parking facility? If so, please
indicate in the map .
Response:
(A, B) Even though this is a closed landfill and methane
production is at the end of its -life cycle curve,
the City intends to put the contractor on notice
and require that he develop a safety plan during
construction of the project .
(C) It was operated by the County of Orange until 1959
and has been closed ever since .
(D) There will be no enclosed structures constructed on
the parking lot .
6 . CIWMB Comment :
What is the distance ( in feet) between the library and the
landfill boundary? Also , please indicate the location of
the landfill in the map . If the distance is within a
thousand feet , there is a likelihood of landfill gas
migration to the library.
Response:
The library is located approximately 500 feet from the
landfill boundary. As previously discussed, methane study
has been prepared to assess the possible methane impacts .
The proposed parking lot construction will be implementing
all mitigation measures to minimize the potential methane
related hazards .
7 . CIWMB Comment :
If construction has to occur on top of the landfill , what
mitigation measures will be taken for possible creation of
odor, landfill gas , vectors and litter? Also, if leachate
is discovered during construction, what mitigation measures
will be implemented?
Response:
Although refuse is. present under a small portion of the
proposed lot , the Department of Public Works has indicated
that if the project is approved, a ventilation system will
be installed under the entire lot .
Since the protrusion of the landfill that extends .under
Talbert is narrow and lies so far beneath the street, it
doesn ' t appear that grading operations will come into
contact with refuse and/or leachate . If leachate is
discovered during construction, the Public Works Department
will halt the project, bring in a consultant to develop a
mitigation plan before construction is allowed to continue .

INTER-DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATION
HUNTINCTON BEACH -
To Howard Zelefski From Robert Eichblatt
Planning Director City Engineer
Subject LIBRARY PARKING EXPANSION — Date August 22, 1991
LANDFILL/TALBERT DELETION
The Problem: Geotechnical studies have proved that the adjacent abandoned landfill south
of Talbert intrudes into and under the Talbert right—of—way at least as far as the southerly
edge of pavement — for the entire length of the library frontage. In fact, at the low
point along Talbert, the-landfill extends well beyond the northerly edge of pavement. The
borings indicate that the refuse mass in certain locations is as much as 20 feet thick, with
the bottom of the mass being as deep as 38 feet below the surface. To compound the
problem, at the low point along Talbert, the refuse mass sits on top of a thick layer o
peat.
These studies explain the reason why this reach of Talbert, over the years, has experienced
extensive differential settlement. The continual maintenance effort required has, by no
means, been cost—effective, considering the low traffic volumes.
If Talbert were widened to secondary arterial standards and the dip taken out, any
additional traffic generated by the improvements would further accelerate the settlement
and resultant maintenance costs. Our Geotechnical consultant, therefore, recommended
that Talbert be reduced to merely, an access to the library.
Possible Solutions
1. Revised structural sections including such things as cement or lime—treated bases The problem is so deep and extensive that such treatments would only delay the
continuation of the settlement.
2. Remove the refuse and peat — Since these materials are considered toxic and
the depths of the removal are as great as 38 feet, the cost of removal would be
considerable and the associated permit process as long as two years.
3. Build a bridge over the landfill — The bridge would be 600 to 800 feet long and
might hurt access to the library. The bridge piers would have to run completely
through the refuse mass and possibly the peat. This would also necessitate a
solid waste mitigation plan and the same two year permit process. The cost of
such an undertaking would be prohibitive
Traffic Issues
Our Traffic Engineering staff has studied the issue. Their findings are as follows:
1. Daily trips on this reach of Talbert are minimal and consisting predominantly of
library customers.
2. If Talbert were effectively closed to through traffic, those trips could easily be
accommodated by Slater, Ellis, Golden West and Gothard. They will be further
accommodated by the upcoming widenings on Golden West, Ellis and Gothard.
Library Parking Exp.
Landfill/Talbert Deletion
August 22, 1991
Page 2
3. Several years ago, the City Council removed Talbert, between Golden West and
Edwards, from the Circulation Element. This prevented the possibility of future
arterial — level traffic volumes.
4. Therefore, considering only traffic volumes, the library section of Talbert is not
necessary for through movements.
Public Safety Issues
The Fire Department objected to complete closure of this section of Talbert because of
their response grid. The latest version of the parking layout allows for the response
movement, while discouraging the motoring public from driving through. Fire response
will also be augmented with the installation of opticom devices on signals along Ellis.
County Concurrence
K
I have learned that staff has received notice from the County of Orange EMA staff that
they are in support of the elimination of Talbert Avenue as an arterial highway. This
support includes also the stretch between Golden West and Edwards in conformance with
the action of our City Council several years ago. The EMA staff will make a
recommendation to the County Board of Supervisors to delete those reaches of Talbert
from the County Master Plan of Arterial Highways, pending receipt of our Geotechnical
Report and a City Council Resolution requesting the deletion.

Dent. of Comm. Development
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Environmental Review Board
DATE: September 26 , 1991
SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment 91-36
This Assessment involves a request by the City of
Huntington Beach to delete a portion of Talbert Avenue between
Goldenwest and Gothard'. Street as an arterial on the City ' s
Circulation Plan of Arterial Streets and Highways to allow for
development of a parking lot in conjunction with the Huntington
Beach Central Library expansion project. City Staff reviewed the
environmental assessment form and determined that a negative
declaration could be filed for the project . The assessment was
given to the Environmental Review Board for review.
A subcommittee of the Board has reviewed the assessment and
with the endorsement of .the full Board recommends that more
information be developed concerning Items 1 (a) and (g) ,
specifically the suitability of the former landfill area south of
Talbert which is proposed for development as a parking lot. For
example, Staff reports in relevant part as follows :
"Kleinfelder, Inc. has prepared a
geotechnical report which analyzes the
suitability of the project site for
development of the proposed parking lot.
The study found a deep layer of organic
material which may result in surficial
settlement over the long-term due to
decomposition. . .However, the study
indicates that analysis of organic
materials do not reveal highly active
decomposition rates . The report concluded
that the parking lot could be developed as
proposed using surficial grading to improve
site characteristics . Although most of the
parking areas are proposed to be located
north of Talbert Avenue, some of the areas
are proposed for the south side of Talbert
and may be located over the landfill . The
study discussed above did not analyze areas
south of Talbert; therefore, suitability of
soils south of Talbert for parking lot
development is not known. However, with
implementation of mitigation measures (sic)
no. 3 contained below, no significant
impacts are anticipated. "
September 26 , 1991
Page 2
Mitigation measure no. 3 provides,
"Prior to issuance of grading permits, a
detailed soils analysis shall be prepared
by a registered Soils Engineer for proposed
parking areas located on the south side of
Talbert. This analysis shall include on-
site soil sampling and laboratory testing
of materials to provide detailed
recommendations regarding grading, soil
corrosivity; fill properties , foundations,
retaining walls , streets, and utilities . "
The Board believes that given the potential for methane gas
leakage and explosion, questions concerning the suitability of the
former landfill area south of Talbert for development as a parking
lot should be answered before the Planning Commission grants
approval of the project .
The Board also recommends clarification of the discussion in
response to Item 13 (b) . Item 13 (b) says that the project may
have an impact on existing parking facilities . The discussion
says in relevant part that,
"The City of Huntington Beach zoning code
does not contain any specific parking
standards for libraries . Staff has
analyzed the parking required to serve the
library expansion. . . a total of 705 spaces
will be required to serve the expansion.
The proposed plan shows 705 spaces . No
significant adverse parking impacts are
anticipated. "
The Board wonders whether Staff might find library parking
requirements in a source other than the City ' s zoning code. For
example, in the County Building Code, or in another source
addressing the parking needs of public buildings in general .
Also, the Board recommends clarification by Staff of the issue of
the 705 parking spaces shown by the plan. Are these 705
additional spaces that don ' t exist today, or is this the number
of spaces presently existing?
Finally, in response to Item 4 , which concerns the
landscaping of the parking lot areas, the Board recommends that
the City utilize drought resistant plants .

Subject: SCH #91091026 , Negative Declaration (ND) , No. 91-36 , to
amend the Circulation Element of the City of Huntington
Beach General Plan by deleting Talbert Avenue (Between
Goldenwest and Gothard Streets) from the City ' s
Circulation Plan of Arterial Streets and Highways, Orange
County.
California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) staff have
reviewed the Negative Declaration for the document cited above and
offer the following comments:
In consideration of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
section 15205 (c) CIWMB staff will focus comments on specific issues
involving waste generation and disposal .
In order to help decision-makers 1) identify potential impacts
from construction and demolition projects, 2) determine
whether any such impacts are significant, and 3) ascertain
whether significant impacts can be mitigated to a level of
insignificance, CIWMB staff request that the final ND include
the following information:
A) . Since mitigated measures are included in the
document, the title of this document should be
changed to "Mitigated Negative Declaration" .
B. ) Identification of the final disposal site (s) for
the project ' s anticipated waste generation.
1 .
Page 2
C. ) Identification of the anticipated types and
quantities of solid wastes to be generated upon
implementation of the plan; both during
construction phases and at the project completion.
D. ) Identification of the potential impacts of these
quantities on remaining landfill capacities and the
calculated site-life associated thereof.
The construction of new parking facilities may increase the
generation of waste being sent to landfills. To minimize the
amount of solid waste going into landfills, staff recommends
that the following measures be considered in the Mitigated
Negative Declaration (MND) :
A. ) Implementation of a recycling program at any
parking facilities.
B. ) Promote the use of products made of recycled
materials (e. g. , asphalt, inerts) in the
construction of structures for the project.
C. ) Promote the inclusion of waste collection storage
areas such as drop off bins into the design of the
project.
Other comments :
A) . Page 2 , Discussion on items (a) & (g) The MND
stated that the southern edge of Talbert Avenue is
bounded by the Huntington Beach Landfill . It is also
stated that other proposed parking areas will be located
on the south side of Talbert Avenue and may be located
over the landfill . While it is true that Klienfelder,
Inc. has prepared a geotechnical report which analyzes
the suitability of the project site for development of
the proposed parking lot, there was no mention in the
study of possible exposure of construction. workers to
landfill gas and how it will be mitigated, as a result of
disruptions, displacements and compaction of soil
materials .
B) . Because of the potential impact to the public health
and safety, what precautionary measures will be taken?
Would there be a Health and Safety Plan developed?
C) . Is the Huntington Beach Landfill active or closed?
D) . Would there be an enclosed structure (i . e, guard
house) in the proposed parking facility? If so, please
indicate in the map.
Page 3
4 . What is the distance (in feet) between the library
and the landfill boundary? Also, please indicate the
location of the landfill in the map. If the distance is
within a thousand feet, there is a likelihood of landfill
gas migration to the library.
5 . If construction has to occur on top of the landfill ,
what mitigation measures will be taken for possible
creation of odor, landfill gas, vectors and litter? Also,
if leachate is discovered during construction, what
mitigation measures will be implemented?
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the
Mitigated Negative Declaration for the City of Huntington
Beach Circulation Plan of Arterial Streets and Highways . If
you have any questions regarding these comments, please call
Leandro Ramos at (916) 327-0452 .

Huntington Beach, CA 92649
Dear Honorable Council Members:
RE: APPEAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 91-11
This letter has been written with due sincerity in hopes that the Council' will, reconsider
its previous decision regarding the Conditional Use Permit No. 91-11. I had previously
spoke out in opposition to this matter. I only regret that I have a previous obligation
before this one which is why I have taken the time to write this letter in case I don't get
there in time to speak out again. Hopefully, I will make it to the appeal in time to hear
some of it.
I, the undersigned, live directly across from the property involved. There are numerous
reasons why I wish to see this land either remain as R1 (single family residential)- as
classified or be left as_ it is with only the nursery,/daycare center. I have taken the time
to categorize my objections as follows:
SAFETY:. Heil and Graham is an extremely busy intersection and almost impossible to
get across not only as a pedestrian, jogger-, or bicyclist (bike lane located here), but as...
a driver of a vehicle as well. I have witnessed several accidents and many people who
do not stop for the stop sign nor the pedestrians. There are no sidewalks on Graham
or Heil on the side of the street where this. lot in question- is located. I feel• that it
would be extremely hazardous to the church members who walk to church on their
special days when they don't drive. I have also seen many Jaywalkers near the Mormon
church who are trying to get to their cars that have been parked- in front of my
neighbors' homes down the street (west) from me. It would also increase the number
of vehicles coming and going here when they do drive. We see a lot of traffic
commuting to Douglas, Marina High School, the industrial area, etc., between 6:00-9:00
a.m, and 3:30-6:30 p.m. In fact, my front door is really the alley, as there is not parking
in front of my house due to a bike line. You can imagine the trouble I have trying to
get out of the alley onto Graham--nobody wants to let you out or in!!
NOISE FACTOR: All day and night I hear the screeching of tires as the cars go flying
on these streets. Numerous times I think I'm at the Indianapolis 500 cause it sounds like
a race track. By permitting the church to congregate at this location would only add to
the amount of disturbances present. It would also increase the hours of noise as it is
• ` Huntington Beach Council Members

November 4, 1991
Page 2 of 2
only natural that when people get together for meetings they usually linger around in
the parking lots talking, laughing, etc., not being aware of how much their voices carry.
My husband goes to bed between 7:30-8:30 p.m. because he has to get up early to go
to work. I fear that if this permit is granted, the noise after their meetings will cause
problems. Especially, since they first stated that their meetings would end at 9:00 p.m,
and then at the second meeting they tried to slip in midnight as the finishing time.
What guarantee do we have that they will adhere to the hours set by the permit and
how much hassle is it going to be for us to have any discrepancies taken care of
regarding their changing the_hours.
PARKING: On numerous occasions, the overflow of cars that should be parking in the
Mormon parking lot are parked along Graham as there isn't enough parking in their lots.
We have some of them who speed through the alley so they can get on Del Mar to cross
Heil and be on the right side of the street where it's easier for them to access the
parking lot. This creates a hazard to us when we try to back out of our driveways.
MEADOWLARK DEVELOPMENT: With the upcoming development of the Meadowlark
area, I honestly feel the congestion at Heil and Graham will take its tall and be
ultimately unbearable at the completion of Meadowlark. Thus, to add a church at this
location will only increase the foreseen pedestrian/vehicular traffic here.
FLOODING: With the slightest amount of rainfall, this intersection falls victim to
flooding_as I am sure you are aware. This flooding adds to the dangers of this
intersection on the same side as the above-mentioned property- and should be taken into
consideration when deliberating. on- this matter.
COMMENTS: It seems that maybe the church could-get together with the Meadowlark
developers- and build something in that area in a more appropriate location that adds_
to the safety of their congregation and all concerned: Surely, there should be some
zoning that qualifies them to build-there. I have nothing against the church. I just don't
want to see that piece of property- eventually end up like all the other corners -- donut
shops, beauty salons, cleaners, video stores, etc. We have enough of them- in this area.
WHEREFORE, I, Virginia Austin, pray to the Huntington Beach City--Council members
that you will take into consideration some, if not all, of my objections to the issuance
of Conditional Use Permit No. 91-11. The outcome of this appeal lies in- your hands,
and I sincerely. believe that you perform this appeal in a professional, unbiased-manner.
Thank you for allowing me to present my side of the issue. Have a nice day!!

Huntington Beach City Council
Huntington Beach Civic Center
2000 Main Street
Huntington Beach, CA 92649
Dear Honorable Council Members:
RE: APPEAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 91-11
This letter has been written with due sincerity in hopes that the Council will reconsider
its previous decision regarding the Conditional Use Permit No. 91-11. I had previously
spoke out in opposition to this matter. I only regret that I have a previous obligation
before this one which is why I have taken the time to write this letter in case I don't get
there in time to speak out again. Hopefully, I will make it to the appeal in time to hear
some of it.
I, the undersigned, live directly across from the property involved. There are numerous
reasons why I wish to see this land either remain as R1 (single family residential) as
classified or be left as it is with only the nursery/daycare center. I have taken the time
to categorize my objections as follows:
SAFETY: Heil and Graham is an extremely busy intersection and almost impossible to
get across not only as a pedestrian, jogger, or bicyclist (bike lane located here), but as
a driver of a vehicle as well. I have witnessed several accidents and many people who
do not stop for the stop sign nor the pedestrians.' _There are no sidewalks on Graham
or Heil on the side of,the street where this lot in question is located. I feel that it
would be extremely hazardous to the church members who walk to church on their
special days when they don't drive. I have also seen many Jaywalkers near the Mormon
church who are trying to get to their cars that have been parked in front of my
neighbors' homes down the street (west) from me. It would also increase the number
of vehicles coming and going here when they do drive. We see a lot of traffic
commuting to Douglas, Marina High School, the industrial area, etc., between 6:00-9:00
a.m, and 3:30-6:30 p.m. In fact, my front door is really the alley as there is not parking
in front of my house due to a bike line. You can imagine the trouble I have trying to
get out of the alley onto Graham--nobody wants'to let you out or in!!
NOISE FACTOR: All day and night I hear the screeching of tires as the cars go flying
on these streets. Numerous times I think I'm at the Indianapolis 500 cause it sounds like
a race track. By permitting the church to congregate at this location would only add to
the amount of disturbances present. It would also increase the hours of noise as it is
M

Page 2 of 2
only natural that when people get together for meetings they usually linger around in
the parking lots talking, laughing, etc., not being aware of how much their voices carry.
My husband goes to bed between 7:30-8:30 p.m. because he has to get up early to,go
to work. I fear that if this permit is granted, the noise after their meetings will cause
problems. Especially, since they first stated that their meetings would end at 9:00 p.m,
and then at the second meeting they tried .to slip in midnight as the finishing time.
What guarantee do we have that they will adhere to the hours set by the permit and
how much hassle is it going to be for us to have any discrepancies taken care of
regarding their changing the hours.
PARKING: On numerous occasions, the overflow of cars that should be parking in the
Mormon parking lot are parked along Graham as there isn't enough parking in their lots.
We have some of them who speed through-the alley so they can get on Del Mar to cross
Heil and be on the right side of the street where it's easier for them to access the
parking lot. This creates a hazard to us when we try to.back out of our driveways.
MEADOWLARK DEVELOPMENT: With the upcoming development of the Meadowlark
area, I honestly feel the congestion at Heil and Graham will take its toll and be
ultimately unbearable at the completion of Meadowlark. Thus, to add a church at this
location will only increase the foreseen pedestrian/vehicular traffic here.
FLOODING: With the slightest amount of, rainfall, this intersection falls victim to
flooding as I am sure you are aware. This flooding adds to the dangers of this
intersection on the same side as the above-mentioned property and should be taken into
consideration when deliberating on this matter.
COMMENTS: It seems that maybe the church could get together with the Meadowlark
developers and build something in that area in a more appropriate location that adds
to the safety of their congregation and all: concerned. Surely, there should be some
zoning that qualifies them to build there. I.-have nothing against the church. I just don't
want to see that piece of property eventually end up like-all the other corners -- donut
shops, beauty salons, cleaners, video stores, etc. We have enough of them in this area.
WHEREFORE, I, Virginia Austin, pray to the Huntington Beach City Council members
that you will take into consideration some, if not all, of my objections to the issuance
of Conditional Use Permit No. 91-11. The outcome of this appeal lies in your hands,
and I sincerely believe that you perform this appeal in a professional, unbiased manner.
Thank you for allowing me to present my side of the issue. Have a nice day!!
Respectfully yours,
Virginia Y. Austin

for the existing school site. The existing nursery school building
and use have been in operation since 1968, however, the current use
will cease should the applicant' s request be approved.
As proposed, the applicants are requesting establishment of the use
for an initial period of five (5) years . No physical improvements
to the building and/or public improvements to the site are proposed
for the establishment of the temporary use. The public improvements
have been determined by Planning Staff and Public Works not to be
necessary at this time based upon the temporary nature of the use
and the fact that no physical improvements to the site are proposed.
The applicants will submit a new conditional use permit application
at the end of the temporary five (5) year period to the
use with full on-site and public improvements required to be in
place. The applicants have submitted a conceptual site plan for the
proposed use which indicates all public improvements, on-site
parking, landscaping and a building envelope for the future church
site.
Joint Use Parking
Pursuant to Section 9600.4 and Section 9606 . 1 of the Huntington
Beach Ordinance Code the applicants are requesting joint use of
parking for the establishment of the proposed church facility. The
off-site parking lot is located approximately 200 feet to the
southwest of the proposed church facility. The applicant' s site
currently is provided with four (4) on-site parking stalls and the
joint use request is to utilize the adjacent church parking lot
across Graham Place to the southwest to provide the remainder of the
parking.
A total of 51 spaces are required for the three (3) uses on site.
Even though the total parking required for the uses on-site is 51
parking spaces, the applicants are requesting joint use of parking
for their site based upon the divergent need of parking, days of
operation and hours of operation. The joint use parking analysis
indicates a maximum need of 34 parking spaces at any time for the
applicant ' s proposed combination of hours and type of operation.
RCA 11/4/91 -2- (1049d)
In addition to the joint use of parking request for the
establishment of the church, the applicants are requesting the
off-site use of the existing church' s parking lot to the west. This
is necessary because the applicant is only able to provide four (4)
parking spaces on-site. Thirty (30) additional off-site spaces are;
therefore, needed. The original establishment of the church to the
west required a total of 201 parking spaces, however, a total of 286
parking spaces are provided for an excess of 85 parking spaces. The
existing church has agreed to provide thirty (30) spaces at all
times to the applicants for their joint use. The aforementioned
joint use parking demand analysis indicates that at no time does the
total parking demand exceed the total parking provided by the
applicant and that no conflict regarding the availability of parking
will occur.
Analysis of Appeal
The appellant Mr. James A. . Bent, cites the following concerns and
reasons in appealing the Planning Commission' s approval of
Conditional Use Permit No. 91-11; 1) inadequate on-site parking, 2)
increased automobile and pedestrian traffic, 3) hours of operation,
4) additional structures, and 5) applicant purchasing the property.
A discussion of the appellant ' s concerns are outlined below:
Inadequate On-site Parking:
As analyzed in the attached September 4, 1991 Planning Commission
Staff report, a joint use parking arrangement has been determined to
adequately address the site' s insufficient parking. A total of 34
parking spaces are required to meet code requirements for the .
church' s (Applicant) operation. The applicant ' s site provides four
(4) on-site parking spaces and the remaining 30 spaces have been
made up with a joint use parking agreement with the existing church
to the west. Therefore, the parking requirements for the
applicant ' s site have been satisfied.
Increa ed Traffic:
The appellant states that the existing street system (Heil Ave. and
Graham Street) are inadequate to handle existing and potential
traffic. In addition, the appellant states that many of the
sidewalks in the area are also inadequate to handle the pedestrian
traffic. Staff ' s analysis .focused on the impact a maximum 100
member congregation would have on parking and traffic. With respect
to the latter the City' s Traffic Engineering Department belieives
the impacts to be minimal based upon the small size of the church' s
operation and the fact that the members walk to the Saturday
service. The fact that pedestrian traffic to the site generally
occurs only on Saturday indicates that the :lack of sidewalks on site
will have a minimal impact. Staff and Public Works determined that _
no public improvements (sidewalks) were necessary at this time
because of the temporary nature of the use.
RCA 11/4/91 -3- (1049d)
Hours of Operation:
The appellant states that a discrepancy on hours of operation was
indicated at the public hearing. As a condition of approval, the
hours of operation have been fixed for the proposed uses applied
for. No service or class is proposed to go beyond the hour of .
9 :30 PM.
Additional Structures :
The appellant cites a concern with regards to the possible placement
of a trailer or some other temporary structure on-site. The
proposal has been approved based upon the site plan submitted, and
therefore any additional trailer or structure requires an amended
Conditional Use Permit and the public hearing process .
Property in Escrow:
The appellant is concerned that the property is currently in escrow
and; therefore should be required to put in the required public
improvements . Planning staff does not generally concern itself with
this issue (Escrow) unless authorization from the current property
owner is. not granted. In this case all property owner
authorizations have been granted. As noted earlier, the public
improvements have been determined not to be necessary at this time
based upon the temporary nature of the use.
FUNDING SOURCE.:
N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The City Council may overturn the Planning Commission' s action of
September 4, 1991 by approving the appeal and denying Conditional
Use Permit No. 91-11 with findings.

Huntington Beach, CA
c..o
SUBJECT: APPEAL OF CUP # 91-11
The establishment of religious services, adult education classes
and nursery/day-care facilities with joint use parking on R1 zoned
properties.
Honorable Mayor and Council Members;
Huntington Beach is a wonderful place to live. However, living
on or near secondary arterial streets has its drawbacks , such as
increasingly heavy traffic , noise, pollution, and lack of parking .
This is why we are filing an appeal to stop CUP # 91-11 .
As Huntington Beach progresses into a new time of increasing
growth and density, it is imperative that the community
maintain higher levels of planned growth and improvements.
Outlined below are our major concerns and reasons for filing an
appeal of CUP # 91-11 . We know you will consider our concerns
with the sincerity in which they are expressed and the attention
they deserve. Thank you.
Inadequate on-site parking , creating child/pedestrian danger.
The Mormon church is already at or near capacity for their own
functions on Sundays and most week nights, and occasionally
spills onto neighboring streets. We do not feel they can
adequately provide a daily joint parking situation for the
Jewish Shabbat as required in CUP # 91-11 . The Mormon Church
received their CUP # 77-14C in 1977 , which stated 85 excess
parking spaces. In 14 years they have surely grown in member-
ship to need these spaces for their own use.
Increased automobile traffic and pedestrian traffic. Each year
traffic increases tremendously, grows less manageable and more
dangerous. The four-way stop at Heil/Graham is difficult in an
automobile and dangerous to pedestrians. Much of the streets to
the facility named in CUP # 91-11 are ill equipped for pedestrian
traffic.
EXAMPLE: Graham, between Heil and Warner has sidewalks only on
the west side of Graham, about 50% of the distance. This is
sporadic, not solid sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to walk into
ditches, through neighbors yards or into an already o_v:erloaded
and very narrow street.
EXAMPLE: Facility named in CUP # 91-11 has no sidewalks to
accommodate pedestrian traffic to services on Saturdays. This
would force them into the street, onto a narrow bike path to gain
access to their facility. Or they would have to make a crossing
at Graham Place and Heil several yards down from the safety of
crosswalks or stop signs.
We can't emphasize enough of our concern for pedestrian safety and
the already existing traffic problems.
Hours of Operation. There seemed to be some discrepancy on hours
of operation at the public hearing of the Planning Commissioners.
The Rabbi indicated that the facility would be used daily between
the hours of 6 :00 a.m. thru 12:00 p.m. midnite, while the permit
specifies use only until 9:30 p.m. This will still impact the
neighborhood in terms of noise until as late as 10:00-10:30 p.m.
This type of use should not be allowed in R1 zoned areas.
Additional structures to property. There has been some concern
to the possibility of trailers, or other temporary type of
structures being placed on the property. This will further
impact parking and pedestrian problems.
Is the Applicant currently in escrow to purchase property named
in CUP # 91-11? If this is the case, then we strongly feel that
improvements should be made to the property before a five year
period. This would benefit the applicant as well as the
neighborhood they have chosen to become a part of. As CUP # 91-11
reads now, no immediate improvements are offered. WHICH LEAVES
US TO FEEL THAT THERE ARE NO BENEFITS TO THE IMMEDIATE
NEIGHBORHOOD OR THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH IF SAID CUP # 91-11
IS APPROVED WITHOUT SOME CONCESSIONS.
In closing , we hope that you will approve our appeal and grant us
the opportunity to present our concerns in a public hearing .
Attached is a petition signed by 62 nearby residents who oppose the
approval of CUP # 91-11
Respectfully,
Jerry T. Abshier James A. Bent

nursery/daycare facilities with joint use parking pursuant to
Section 9630 . (c) of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. This item
was continued at the applicant ' s request to address parking concerns
and to amend the submitted site plan.

Parking
The applicant has requested to amend the floor plan of the proposed
building to correctly identify each room' s use. As orignally
submitted, each room (four [41 rooms total) is identified as a
mult'i-purpose room and; therefore, staff used the most restrictive
parking ratio for its parking calculations . Based upon this, staff
used the public assembly area parking ratio of one parking space for
every 35 square feet of _gross floor area (2, 352 square feet divided by
35 equals 67 . 2) , which required a total of 68 parking spaces .
The applicant ' s revised floor plan indicates that the two (2) rooms to
the east side of the building shall be used for religious services
only and the remaining two (2) rooms to the west shall be used for
classroom purposes only. The following table indicates the parking
required based upon the revised floor plans :
Parking Requirements
Use Sa. Ft ./Rooms Standard Spaces Required
Day Care Two (2) rooms 1 per staff 4 spaces
(west) 1 per classroom
Adult Two (2) rooms 7 per classroom 14 spaces
Education (west)
Hebrew Two (2) rooms 1 . 5 per classroom 3 spaces
School (west)
Religious Two (2) rooms 1 per 35 sq. ft . 30 spaces
Services 1, 05.0 sq. ft . public assembly
(east)
Total 51 spaces
As can be seen by the above parking requirements, a total of 51 spaces
are required for each use as revised by the applicant . This is a
reduction of 17 spaces as originally required. Even though the total
parking required for all uses on-site is 51 parking spaces , the
applicants are requesting joint use of parking for their site based
upon the divergent need of parking, days of operation and hours of
operation. The following table indicates a maximum need of 34 parking
spaces at any time for the applicant ' s proposed combination of hours
and type of operation.

In addition to the joint use of parking request for the establishment
of the church, the applicants are requesting joint use of parking with
the existing church to the west . This is necessary because the
applicant is only able to provide four (4) parking spaces on-site .
_Thirty (30) additional off-site spaces are; therefore, needed . The
original establishment of the church to the west required a total of
201 parking spaces, however, a total of 286 parking spaces are
provided for an excess of 85 parking spaces . The attached Planning
Commission staff report dated August 20, 1991 outlined the overall
parking that is available through the joint use parking agreement with
the existing church to the west . The existing church has agreed to
provide thirty (30) spaces at all times to the applicants for their
joint use . The aforementioned joint use parking demand table
indicates that at no time does the total parking demand exceed the
total parking provided by the applicant and that no conflict regarding
the availability of parking will occur .
