REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 8/17/2009 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL09-17 Planning Commission Action on June 23, 2009: THE MOTION MADE BY DELGLEIZE, SECONDED BY LIVENGOOD, TO APPROVE THE FINAL PROJECT DESIGN AND LANDSCAPE PLANS FOR THE HUNTINGTON BEACH SENIOR CENTER WITH MODIFIED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: DELGLEIZE, LIVENGOOD, MANTINI, SPEAKER NOES: FARLEY, SHIER BURNETT ABSENT: SCANDURA ABSTAIN: NONE MOTION PASSED Analysis: A. PROJECT PROPOSAL: Applicant: City of Huntington Beach, Community Services Department, 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Location: 18041 Goldenwest Street (5-acre site southwest of the intersection of Goldenwest Street and Talbert Avenue in Huntington Central Park) Conditional Use Permit No. 07-039 was approved on February 4, 2008 for the development of a senior center in Huntington Central Park. The senior center project was approved for the construction of a 45,000 square foot senior center with a height of 46 feet at the highest point, and associated site improvements including an outdoor garden and lawn area and parking lot. The final project plans consist of a 37,563 square foot building with a height of approximately 35 feet in addition to an outdoor garden and lawn area and parking lot. Pursuant to the conditions of approval for the project, the final project design and landscape plans were required to be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission, which occurred on June 23, 2009. The following conditions were applicable to the Planning Commission's review: Condition #3 Prior to submittal for plan check, project design, including landscape plans (completed pursuant to conditions 5 and 6), shall be reviewed by the City of Huntington Beach Design Review Board and approved by the Planning Commission as a non-public hearing item. -2- 8/10/2009 11:00 AM REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 8/17/2009 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL09-17 Condition #5 The final landscape plans shall incorporate a variety of tree, shrub and grass species that are currently planted at adjacent uses, including the Sports Complex, Shipley Nature Center and the passive park west of the project site. Condition #6 In the event that an overflow parking area is provided in place of the meadow area depicted on the preliminary landscape plan, meadow grasses shall be planted elsewhere on the project site. The species of meadow grasses should take into consideration the species currently planted at Shipley Nature Center. B. BACKGROUND: On February 4, 2008, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit No. 07-039 for the development of a senior center in Huntington Central Park. Pursuant to the conditions of approval for the project, the final project design and landscape plans were required to be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. On June 23, 2009, the Planning Commission approved the final project design and landscape plans for the senior center. C. APPEAL: On July 6, 2009 Council Member Hardy filed an appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of the final project design and landscape plans (ATTACHMENT NO. 1). The appeal letter cites concerns that the size of the project site is greater than five acres. D. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff and the Planning Commission are recommending approval of the final project design and landscape plans based on compliance with the conditions of approval and consistency with the City Council approved conceptual plans. The final project design plans for the senior center are in substantial conformance with the approved conceptual plans. In terms of architectural design, there are no major differences between the conceptually approved plans and the proposed final plans. However, the overall scale of the building is reduced due to the reduction in building size from 45,000 square feet to 37,563 square feet and height from 46 feet to 35 feet. Although the proposed color scheme for the building varies from the conceptually approved plans, staff and the Planning Commission believe that the proposed colors represent an improvement to the design and better define the architectural style of the building. The proposed landscape plans comply with conditions five and six and meet the intent of the conditions in achieving greater compatibility with the surrounding park and recreation uses by incorporating similar planting materials, as appropriate, into the senior center project. A more detailed discussion of the design and landscape plans is included in the Planning Commission staff report (ATTACHMENT NO. 2) The concerns expressed in the appeal letter by Council Member Hardy that the project site is greater than five acres do not directly relate to the action that was taken by the Planning Commission on June 23, 2009. The Planning Commission action was to review and approve the final project design and landscape plans for compliance with the conditions of approval -3- 8/10/2009 11:00 AM REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 8/17/2009 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL09-17 and consistency with the City Council approved conceptual plans. However, to address the concerns of the appeal, the project boundary, as shown on the site plan in Attachment No. 5 and as approved by the Planning Commission, is five acres in area. Other improvements, such as connections to utilities, traffic signal improvements, and the access driveway, were not included in the Planning Commission's action and are located outside of the five-acre project boundary. The access driveway leading into the park from the intersection of Goldenwest Street and Talbert Avenue is identified in the Central Park Master Plan that was approved in 1999 as a planned use for the overall 14-acre area where the senior center will be located and does not require further action by the Planning Commission or other City board or commission. Other off-site improvements, similar to those listed, are necessary and typical of most development projects. Strategic Plan Goal: Maintain, Improve and Obtain Funding For Public Improvements: The approved senior center is being funded through the park fees of the Pacific City project. Review of the final project design and landscape plans is a necessary step in implementing the project and would ensure a quality design for a centrally located senior recreation and human service facility within the City. Environmental Status: Environmental Impact Report No. 07-002 for the senior center project was certified by the City Council on February 4, 2008. Subsequent review of the final project design pursuant to the conditions of approval is not subject to further environmental review in accordance with CEQA. Attachment(s): . 0 - 0 - 0 ® 0 0 1.

On June 23, 2009, the Planning Commission approved the final project design and landscape plans during a non-public hearing. The request is to review the final project design and landscape plans pursuant to the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 07-039, approved by the City Council on February 4, 2008. The primary reason for my appeal is that I believe the final project design and landscape plans reflect an area larger than five acres. Pursuant to Section 248.18 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, the City Council shall hear an appeal from the decision of the Planing Commission.

"Approve the final project design plans with modified accent colors as recommended by the Design Review Board" B. "Continue review of the final project design and landscape plans for the Huntington Beach Senior Center and direct staff accordingly." PROJECT PROPOSAL: On February 4, 2008, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit No. 07-039 for the development of a senior center in Huntington Central Park. The senior center project was approved for the construction of a 45,000 square foot senior center with a height of 46 feet at the highest point, and associated site improvements including an outdoor garden and lawn area and parking lot. The final project plans consist of a 37,563 square foot building with a height of approximately 35 feet in addition to an outdoor garden and lawn area and parking lot. Pursuant to the conditions of approval for the project, the final project design and landscape plans must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. The following conditions are applicable to this request for the Planning Commission's review: Condition#3 Prior to submittal for plan check,project design, including landscape plans (completed pursuant to conditions S and 6), shall be reviewed by the City of Huntington Beach Design Review Board and approved by the Planning Commission as a non-public hearing item. Condition#5 The final landscape plans shall incorporate a variety of tree, shrub and grass species that are currently planted at adjacent uses, including the Sports Complex, Shipley Nature Center and the passive park west of the project site. Condition#6 In the event that an overflow parking area is provided in place of the meadow area depicted on the preliminary landscape plan, meadow grasses shall be planted elsewhere on the project site. The species of meadow grasses should take into consideration the species currently planted at Shipley Nature Center. Background: A public hearing for the senior center project was held at the Planning Commission meeting of December 11, 2007. The Planning Commission certified the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and approved the project with conditions. The original conditions recommended by staff included conditions five and six (referenced above) and recommended that final project design be reviewed by the Design Review Board PC Staff Report—06/23/2009 -3- (09sr38 CUP 07-039 Senior Center) (condition three). However, during discussion of the project at the December 11, 2007 public hearing, the Planning Commission determined that the design, particularly the landscape plan, was too conceptual. As such, condition three was revised to include Planning Commission review of the final project design as a non-public hearing item, in addition to review by the Design Review Board. Although the EIR and project were appealed to the City Council, the above-referenced conditions remained a part of the final project approval by the City Council. ISSUES: The primary issues for the Planning Commission to consider when analyzing this request are: ■ Compliance with conditions three, five and six as stated in the City Council Notice of Action, dated February 7, 2008; and ® Consistency with the conceptual plans as preliminarily approved by the Design Review Board and approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. General Plan Conformance: Conditional Use Permit No. 07-039 for the senior center project was found to be in conformance with the General Plan upon project approval by the City Council on February 4, 2008. Zoning Compliance: Not applicable. Urban Design Guidelines Conformance: Not applicable. Environmental Status: Environmental Impact Report No. 07-002 for the senior center project was certified by the City Council on February 4, 2008. Subsequent review by the Planning Commission and Design Review Board of the final project design is not subject to further environmental review in accordance with CEQA. Coastal Status: Not applicable. Redevelopment Status: Not applicable. Design Review Board: The Design Review Board (DRB) reviewed the final design and landscape plans for the senior center on June 11, 2009. The DRB recommended approval of the final project design and landscape plans to the Planning Commission provided that the proposed color scheme is revised to incorporate muted or "toned down" building accent colors, specifically the yellow and orange colors depicted on the elevations and materials sample board. As a result of the DRB recommendation, staff has obtained samples of the colors from the manufacturer and believes that the actual colors are much more muted than how they are represented on the materials sample board meeting the intent of the Design Review Board's action. The manufacturer color samples will be presented at the Planning Commission meeting on June 23rd. As such, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission approve the design plans as proposed in Attachment No. 3. Subdivision Committee: Not applicable. PC Staff Report-06/23/2009 -4- (09sr38 CUP 07-039 Senior Center) Other Departments Concerns and Requirements: The landscape plans and final project design plans have been developed with input from the Planning, Community Services and Public Works Departments, including the City's landscape architect. Public Notification: Public notification for this item is not required. However, notice of this item was published in the Huntington Beach/Fountain Valley Independent on June 11, 2009. In addition, notice of this meeting was published in the City Administrator's newsletter on June 2, 2009 and has been posted on the Planning Department website since June 3, 2009. ANALYSIS: Project Desikn The final project design plans for the senior center are in substantial conformance with the approved conceptual plans. The finish materials for the final project design include stucco, stone veneer,timber and glass similar to the approved conceptual plans. In addition, the proposed plans show variations in wall planes and roof lines and incorporate a standing seam metal roof consistent with the approved conceptual plans. In terms of architectural design, there are no major differences between the conceptually approved plans and the proposed final plans. Although the proposed color scheme for the building varies from the conceptually approved plans, staff believes that the proposed colors represent an improvement to the design and better define the architectural style of the building. Landscape Plans The conceptual senior center landscape plans, approved by the City Council, showed a variety of native and non-native plant and tree species throughout the parking area and around the perimeter of the site, a turf lawn and a natural meadow grass area. The plans also included a hummingbird/demonstration garden, decorative potted plants, a barbeque pad, a fountain/water feature, a trellis patio and a walking path. The proposed landscape plan is consistent with the conceptual plans except the barbeque pad has been removed and a larger courtyard area is shown. In addition, a concrete area in the southwest corner of the project site that was originally proposed to be a Fire Department turnaround area, which is no longer required by the Fire Department,is now proposed to be a native garden with a decomposed granite path. With respect to condition no. 5, the senior center landscape plans include several species that are utilized in adjacent areas of Central Park, specifically Shipley Nature Center and the Sports Complex. Although, the majority of the various planting materials proposed for the senior center site occur at the adjacent Sports Complex and Shipley Nature Center, the table below provides several examples of the plant species that will be utilized at the senior center site that are currently planted at Shipley Nature Center and the Sports Complex. Proposed Senior Center Planting Occurs at Shipley Nature Center Occurs at Sports Complex Material Common Name California sycamore(tree) X Chilean Mesquite(tree) X Strawberry Tree small tree X Palo Verde(small tree) X X To on small tree) X Coyote Bush(shrub) X PC Staff Report—06/23/2009 -5- (09sr38 CUP 07-039 Senior Center) Proposed Senior Center Planting Occurs at Shipley Nature Center Occurs at Sports Complex Material Common Nance Orchid Rockrose(shrub) X X Deer Grass shrub X Mexican Bush Sae(shrub) X X Prostrate Rosemary(ground cover) X X Lantana(ground cover) X The landscape plans also feature a large lawn area characteristic of the vast turf areas of the passive park to the west. Condition No. 6 requires that meadow grasses be planted elsewhere on the project site should the area specified for meadow grass planting on the conceptually approved plans be converted to an overflow parking area. The overflow parking area is no longer depicted on the site plan, and as such, meadow grasses are proposed to remain in the area depicted on the approved conceptual plans. Meadow grasses are also proposed in the parking lot landscape areas/bioswales. During the study session on June 9, 2009, the Planning Commission asked questions relative to whether plant materials from the adjacent uses would be incorporated into the landscape plan and if the proposed plant materials would be drought-tolerant. In addition to the plant materials listed in the table above, the landscape plans denote planting materials utilized at the adjacent park uses. The plans also denote that all planting materials shall be low water usage species and the proposed irrigation system shall be water- efficient utilizing automatic timers and low flow irrigation heads in accordance with City requirements. Staff believes that the proposed landscape plans comply with conditions five and six and meet the intent of the conditions in achieving greater compatibility with the surrounding park and recreation uses by incorporating similar planting materials, as appropriate, into the senior center project.

I obtained the final senior center plans from the Planning Department and then imported them into Google Earth Pro as image overlays carefully aligned to the underlying and adjacent terrain features. I then used the ruler tool to measure the acreage of the total ground disturbance envelope approved by CUP 07-039 (see attached annotated map). The total project size is approximately 6.5 acres,which exceeds the five acre maximum specified by the ballot item. The staff assertion that the extra acreage for the driveway entrance and associated trails were approved by HCP MEIR No. 99-1 is simply untrue. EIRs by themselves do not approve projects —they merely analyze impacts. Furthermore,the MEIR only analyzed the acreage in question at a"program"level of detail,rather than at a"project"level. As the August 2, 1999 RCA for the MEIR states,"Program level elements are longer-term and the specific site details are not yet determined". So no specific driveways or trails were analyzed for the then-future senior center site by that MEIR. Senior center CUP 07-039 is the first and only CUP to ever approve a specific driveway and trails for that site,and thus that driveway and those trails must be considered a part of the senior center project. The voted will of those governed is the very foundation of democracy. This project is in violation of the acreage limit approved by the November 7,2006 election and must be rejected.

The City of Huntington Beach contends that construction of the Senior Center is authorized pursuant to the passing of Ballot Measure T in November 2006. However, Measure T provides, in relevant part: "[i]f approved, this proposed measure would authorize a centrally located senior center building, not to exceed 47,000 square feet, to be placed on a maximum of five.acres of an undeveloped .1.4-acre parcel in the 356-acre Huntington Beach Central Park..." (emphasis added). See, Ballot Measure T. The EIR that was prepared in relation to the Senior Center Project contemplates a project that is "approximately five acres." See, EIR, Section 3.1. 214983.1 Planning Commission June 11, 2009 Page 2 Based on the Site Plan, the Senior Center project site will clearly exceed the 5 acre limit. The building site alone is 5 acres. The attempt to exclude a significant part of the project from the measurement is a breach of faith with the voters and is illegal. The project exceeds the scope of authority allegedly granted pursuant to the ballot measure and at a minimum, the Senior Center must be redesigned to disturb no more than 5 acres of land.

Conditional Use Permit No.07-039 to permit the construction and operation of a 45,000 square foot senior recreation facility will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. An EIR that analyzed the project's potential to generate detrimental impacts on people and surrounding properties was prepared and concluded that, with mitigation, there are no significant project specific impacts. In addition, being that the project is located in Central Park, the closest adjacent residences are located approximately 800 feet west of the project site. One significant cumulative impact to aesthetics was identified in the EIR and as such, a Statement of Overriding Considerations, which discusses the benefits of the project in relation to the cumulative impact, is required for approval of the project. 2. Conditional Use Permit No. 07-039 will be compatible with surrounding uses because it is consistent with the applicable General Plan Land Use and Zoning designations as noted in previous sections of this report. Although the proposed project will result in the development of a new senior center on existing open space,the project will be compatible with the established recreational land use pattern in the area, specifically existing community facilities such as the Central Library and Sports Complex adjacent to the proposed project site. Within this context, the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding parkland. In addition,the proposed project would add a senior recreation facility on land currently designated for recreational uses but at a greater intensity than what was previously intended for the site. The proposed building features a design with architectural features that minimize the visual bulk and mass of the buildings and provides for compatibility with the surrounding parkland. The project complies with all of the requirements for development in the OS-PR zoning district and provides an adequate number of parking spaces. To integrate the project with the natural setting of the Shipley Nature Center and existing passive parkland west of the project site, substantial landscaping is proposed throughout the site, including surrounding the entire perimeter of the project site. 3. Conditional Use Permit No. 07-039 will comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, including the Open Space—Parks&Recreation zone permitted uses and minimum setbacks. Parking requirements are determined by the conditional use permit and are specific to the requested use. A sufficient number of parking spaces is provided for the project based on surveys of similar projects. 4. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 07-039 will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of OS-P (Open Space - Parks) on the subject property. In addition,it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: l Air Quaitty Element Policy AQ 1.8.3: Encourage developers to maintain the natural topography, to the maximum extent possible, and limit the amount of land clearing, blasting, grading, and ground excavation operations needed for development. The proposed project anticipates a balanced site with minor cut and fill operations during construction. Policy AQ 1.10.1: Continue to require the utilization and installation of energy conservation features in all new construction. As with all new buildings, the proposed project will be required to comply with the energy conservation standards of Title 24, which would ensure that there would be no wasteful or unnecessary use of energy. Circulation Element Policy CE 6.1.7: Require new development to provide accessible facilities to the elderly and disabled. The proposed senior center project will be required to comply with the requirements of the ADA. The proposed project will also provide ADA access to the site via a pedestrian path north of the access driveway. Policy CE 7.1.7: Continue to construct landscaped medians in existing major and primary arterial streets and continue to require the construction of landscaped medians in new developments. The proposed project includes construction of a signalized access driveway at the intersection of Goldenwest Street and Talbert Avenue. The new access driveway includes a proposed landscaped median. Environmental Hazards Element Policy EH 4.1.1: During major redevelopment or initial construction, require specific measures to be taken by developers, builders, or property owners in flood prone areas, to prevent or reduce damage from flood hazards and the risks upon human safety. Although the site is partially located in Flood Zone A, the project site is already a minimum of 4 feet higher than the base flood elevation at its lowest point.
