A MOTION WAS MADE BY ORTEGA, SECOND BY WILLIAMS, TO DENY LAND USE ELEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 89-1 FROM LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL; AND DENY ZONE CHANGE NO. 89-2 FROM R1-FP2 TO R2-FP2 WITH FINDINGS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Williams, Bourguignon, Ortega, Mountford, Leipzig NOES: Shomaker, Kirkland ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - ZONE CHANGE NO, 89-1: 1. The proposed zone change from R1-FP2 (Low Density Residential- Floodplain District 2) to R2-FP2 (Medium Density Residential-Floodplain District 2) would be incompatible with adjacent and nearby land uses since access to the subject parcel would be taken solely from streets serving the adjoining properties . 2 . The proposed zone change from R1-FP2 (Low Density Residential- Floodplain District 2) to R2-FP2 (Medium Densi :y Residential-Floodplain District 2) would signi _icantly increase the amount of traffic originally antiA pated for the existing residential streets . 3 . The proposed zone change from R1-FP2 (Low Density Residential- Floodplain District 2) to R2-FP2 (Medium Density Residential-Floodplain District 2) would severe:ly impact the amount of on-street parking available to existing residences . 4 . The proposed zone change from R'l-FP2 (Low Density Residential- Floodplain District 2) to R2-FP2 (Medium Densi-:y Residential-Floodplain District 2) would subje(:t six units to noise levels of Ldn 45 or greater due to insuf:"icient setbacks and other mitigation measures . RCA 11/6/89 -2- (3934d) 5. The proposed zone change from R1-FP2 (Low Density Residential- Floodplain District 2) to R2-FP2 (Medium Density Residential-Floodplain District 2) would facilitate designs aesthetically incompatible with the surrounding residential areas in regards to density, height, setbacks, landscaping and flood mitigation. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council uphold the Planning Commission' s decision by certifying Draft Environmental Impact Report No. 89-5 and denying General Plan Land Use Element Amendment No . 89-1 and Zone Change No. 89-2 with findings . ANALYSIS: The request is to amend the Land Use Element of the General Plan and zoning designation with related environmental impact studies on approximately 2 . 56 gross acres of land at the southeast corner of Bushard Street and Garfield Avenue from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential for a planned development. Analysis and impacts of the request are discussed in the attached report entitled Land Use Element Amendment No. 89-1 and Environmental Impact Report No. 89-5 dated July 6, 1989 . Five Development options including a 20, 000 square foot commercial/retail center are also analyzed. Current land use and zoning for the site allow for ten (10) standard 6, 000 square foot lots for single family home development on a cul-de-sac street or thirteen (13) single family homes designed as a planned residential development. The applicant ' s proposal for R2 (15u/gac) zoning would allow for up to 38 apartments or 30 condominiums . The applicant has proposed eighteen (18) detached single family homes on 35 foot x 110 foot and 45 foot x 78 foot lots along a private street as a planned residential development . At their meeting on September 5, 1989, the Planning Commission determined Draft Environmental Impact Report No. 89-5 adequate and recommended certification by the City Council . In addition, the Planning Commission denied Land Use Element Amendment No. 89-1 and Zone Change No. 89-2 with findings . Related entitlements, Conditional Use Permit No. 89-17, and Tentative Tract Map No. 14017 for development of a 18 unit detached single family residential planned development were not considered by the Planning Commission because without approval of LUE 89-1 and ZC 89-2, the proposal would not conform with the existing land use and zoning designations for the property. Planning Commission and staff are recommending that Draft Environmental Impact Report No. 89-5 be adopted and certified as adequate, and that the City Council deny the proposed Land Use Element Amendment as well as the Zone Change because a medium density residential use would be incompatible with adjacent and nearby single RCA 11/6/89 -3- (3934d) family residential land uses. This is due to the fact that access to the site would be solely from a single family residential neighborhood; several units (six) would be subject to noise levels of Ldn 45 or greater due to insufficient setbacks from the arterials; and the increased density of the site and lack of additional on-street parking would cause additional on-street parking on the adjoining single family residential neighborhood. Since the approval of LUE 89-1 and ZC 89-2 would allow for 38 apartments to be constructed on the site and no 38 unit apartment project has been submitted, staff feels that approval of the applicant ' s proposal would not have addressed the aesthetic impacts in a worst case scenario. Alternative Action: As an alternative to denial, a limited density zone change may be considered. A maximum density of 7. 1 units per gross acre on a medium density residential designation as well as a planned development suffix (PD) could be imposed. The maximum density restriction (7. 1) would limit the site to 18 apartments; the planned development (PD) suffix would further reduce the project to 15 units due to the adjusted gross acreage requirement for planned developments . The PD suffix would also require greater open space and other design standards which would be more harmonious with the existing low density residential tract adjacent to the project . The reduction in density would allow for additional parking and open space as well as a density more compatible with the surrounding land uses . It is important to note that if the staff alternative were approved, a future zone change could be proposed to remove both the maximum density limitation as well as the planned development designation without requiring a land use element amendment or environmental impact report . The land use designation would be for medium density residential and the option of a 38 unit apartment complex has been covered under Draft Environmental Impact Report No. 89-5 . ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: The environmental impact report discusses impacts in the areas of land use compatibility, traffic/circulation, housing, public services and utilities, noise, light and glare, aesthetics, seismic, soils and geology, flooding and economic considerations . The direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of the proposal are addressed, as are the impacts of project alternatives . Significant Impacts : There are a number of significant impacts related to the applicant ' s proposal which would be incompatible with the surrounding areas and could not be reduced to a level of insignificance: RCA 11/6/89 -4- (3934d) Land Use• Approval of Land Use Element Amendment No. 89-1 based upon the applicant ' s 18 unit proposal would nearly double (80 percent increase) the number of units allowed within an otherwise low density neighborhood. Traffic Circulation: The subject property is bordered to the south and east by Tract 4852. When Tentative Tract 4744 (of which Tract 4852 is a part) , was approved it was clearly intended for Albacore Drive to eventually continue onto the subject property as a continuation of the subdivision and terminate in a cul-de-sac with ten standard 60 foot x 100 foot single family lots. The applicant ' s proposal is for 18 single family homes arranged around a private hammer-head street . The lot sizes range from 35 feet x 109 feet to 45 feet x 78 feet. As such, the proposal is projected to generate approximately 80 more vehicle trips per day on the existing portion of Albacore Drive than the standard 10-lot subdivision. In addition, because the applicant proposes a reduced width private street in conjunction with narrow lots, no parking would be provided on-street thus, eliminating all guest parking. Visitors to residents in the project would be forced to park in front of existing homes on Albacore Drive, thereby eliminating their guest parking. None of the proposed alternatives would have a significant .adverse impact on the Level of Service of the adjacent arterials . Noise: The applicant' s request places 6 units adjacent to Bushard Avenue with only 10 to 13 foot setbacks. Special mitigation measures such as unit modification, additional building setbacks, walls, berming and/or landscaping would need to be employed to reduce this noise exposure and guarantee acceptable noise levels of less than Ldn 45 . Aesthetics : All properties abutting and near the subject parcel are single family homes, one story in height constructed prior to the National Flood Insurance Program requirements were implemented. The properties are 60 feet wide with front driveways approximately 20 feet in width leaving front yards 20 to 30 feet deep by 35 feet wide with a 10 foot wide landscaped parkway (5 foot sidewalk plus 5 foot landscaping) running along the street. The total public right-of-way is 60 feet wide (40 foot wide street plus a 10 foot parkway on each side) . The applicant proposes a private 40 foot wide street with no sidewalks or parkway, lot widths of 35 to 45 feet to allow for an additional 8 units and front entry driveways set back 20-25 feet x 20 feet wide. Front yards are then reduced to 10 feet wide in most RCA 11/6/89 -5- (3934d) cases . No parkways or sidewalks are proposed. Floor plans include 2-1/2 story homes placed on a pad elevated 3 feet to meet floodplain requirements making a total height of 36 feet above the existing grade. No second story setbacks or building variation are provided. The cumulative impact of architectural style, lot size, street design, floodplain requirements, density and building height make the project aesthetically incompatible with the surrounding area. Flood Mitigation: As mentioned earlier, the site lies within flood zone AO Depth 3 as determined by the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) effective September 15, 1989 . As a requirement of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) , all habitable (living) areas must be elevated with the lowest part of the lowest structural member of the lowest floor constructed at or above the base flood elevation. As a result, the lowest floor for all homes in the project will be approximately 3 feet higher than the existing homes in the surrounding area. Since this is a Federal requirement, no exception can be made for residential projects . The conclusion of the environmental impact report is that these significant impacts will be reduced to a level of insignificance if the number of units are limited to 15 for the site. FUNDING SOURCE' Not applicable ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: The City Council may approve the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change with a density limit for 15 units (Alternative 1 - Staff Alternative) based upon the EIR conclusions, or approve the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change for the applicant ' s request which would allow for up to 38 apartments or 30 condominiums (Alternative 2 - Applicant ' s Request) .

C - cp Pt A-F M-23C 2 . 0 GENERAL INFORMATION: The request is to make necessary land use and zoning changes with related Environmental Impact Studies to allow for an increase in density from low density residential to medium density residential for a planned development on approximately 2 . 56 gross acres of land at the southeast corner of the intersection of Bushard Street and Garfield Avenue. These changes would permit an increase of approximately eight residential units . Current land use and zoning allow for 10 standard 60 foot x 100 foot single family homes on a cul-de-sac street . The applicant ' s proposal is for eighteen single family homes on 35 foot x 110 foot and 45 foot x 78 foot lots along a private street . A zoning designation of R2 (Medium Density) would allow approximately 38 apartments to be constructed on this site . An R1-PD (Low Density Residential-Planned Development) zoning designation would allow for 13 single family homes . Draft Environmental Impact Report No . 89-5 analyzes the potential impacts of all of these options as well as a 20 , 000 square foot commercial/retail center . Staff is recommending that Draft Environmental Impact Report No . 89-5 be certified as adquate, and that the Planning Commission deny Land Use Element Amendment No . 89-1 and Zone Change No . 89-2 . As an alterntive to denial, staff is proposing that Zone Change No . 89=2 place a maximum density of 7 .4 units per gross acre on a medium density residential designation as well as a planned development suffix (PD) . The maximum density restriction (7.4) would limit the project to 18 apartments . The planned development (PD) suffix would further reduce the project to 15 units due to the adjusted gross acreage of the requirement for planned developments . The PD suffix would also require greater open space and other design standards which would be more harmonious with the existing low density residential tract adjacent to the tract . It is important to note that if the staff alternative were approved at a later date, an additional zone change could be proposed to remove the maximum density restriction as well as the planned development restriction without requiring a land use element amendment or environmental impact report, since the land use designation would be for medium density residential and the option of a 38 unit apartment complex has been covered under Draft Environmental Impact Report No. 89-5 . The applicant ' s proposal, Alternative 2 , would establish land use and zoning designations to allow for 38 apartments on the subject parcel . Staff Report - 9/19/89 -2- (3640d) • • California Environmental Ouality Act Process: In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) , Draft Environmental Impact Report No. 89-5 (DEIR 89-5) was prepared to analyze the potential impacts of the proposed Land Use Element Amendment No . 89-1 and Zone Change No. 89-2 . The requisite procedure that was followed is outlined below: 1 . Notice of Preparation posted, advertised and circulated May 26, 1989 . 2 . Notice of Completion of DEIR 89-5 posted, advertised and circulated July 6, 1989 . 3 . DEIR 89-5 available for public review and comment July 6, 1989 , through August 4, 1989 . 4 . Copies of DEIR 89-5 are forwarded to Planning Commission July 11, 1989 . 5 . No comments were received from either State, local agencies or other City departments . One letter of opposition to the increased density was received from the Huntington Beach Environmental Board. A copy of this letter is attached for review by the Planning Commission for the September 19 , 1989 meeting. 3 . 0 ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Draft Environmental Impact Report No. 89-5 was prepared by Planning staff to analyze potentially significant impacts of the Land Use Element Amendment and Zone Change request. DEIR 89-5 must be adopted and certified prior to any action on Land Use Element Amendment No . 89-1 which must be acted on prior to any action on Zone Change No. 89-2 . The environmental impact report discusses impacts in the areas of land use compatibility, traffic/circulation, housing, public services and utilities, noise, light and glare, aesthetics, seismic, soils and geology, flooding and economic considerations . The direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of the proposal are addressed, as are the impacts of project alternatives . Unavoidable Significant Impacts: There are a number of unavoidable significant impacts related to the applicant ' s proposal which would be incompatible with the surrounding areas and could not be reduced to a level of insignificance: Staff Report - 9/19/89 -3- (3640d) Land Use: Approval of Land Use Element Amendment No. 89-1 would nearly double (80 percent increase) the number of units allowed within an otherwise low density neighborhood.

The applicant ' s proposal is for 18 single family homes arranged around a private hammer-head street . The lot sizes range from 35 feet x 109 feet to 45 feet x 78 feet . As such the propsal is projected to generate approximately 80 more vehicle trips per day on the existing portion of Albacore Drive than the standard 10-lot subdivision would. In addition, because the applicant proposes a reduced width private street in conjunction with narrow lots, no parking would be provided on-street thus eliminating all guest parking . Visitors to residents in the project would be forced to park in front of existing homes on Albacore Drive, thereby eliminating their guest parking . None of the proposed alternatives would have a significant adverse impact on the Level of Service of the adjacent arterials . Noise' The applicant ' s request places 6 units adjacent to Bushard Avenue with only 10 to 13 foot setbacks . Special mitigation mesures such as unit modification, additional building setbacks, walls, berming and/or landscaping would need to be employed to reduce this noise exposure and guarantee acceptable noise levels of less than Ldn 45 . .

The total public right-of-way is 60 feet wide (40 foot wide street plus a 10 foot parkway on each side) . Staff Report - 9/19/89 -4- (3640d) The applicant proposes a private 40 foot wide street with no sidewalks or parkway, lot widths of 35 to 45 feet to allow for an additional 8 units and front entry driveways set back 20-25 feet x 20 feet wide. Front yards are then reduced to 10 feet wide in most cases . No parkways or sidewalks are proposed. Floor plans include 2-1/2 story homes placed on a pad elevated 3 feet to meet floodplain requirements making a total height of 36 feet above the existing grade. No second story setbacks or building variation are provided. The cumulative impact of architectural style, lot size, street design, floodplain requirements, density and building height make the project aesthetically incompatible with the surrounding area .

Federal requirement, no exception can be made for residential projects . 4 . 0 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take three separate actions : (A) Adopt and certify as adequate Draft Environmental Impact Report No . 89-5 and forward it to the City Council for their adoption and certification with the following findings; and (B) Deny Land Use Element Amendment No. 89-1 from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential; and (C) Deny Zone Change No. 89-2 from R1-FP2 (Low Density Residential- Floodplain District 2) to R2-FP2 (Medium Density Residential-Floodplain District 2) with the following findings . FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 89-5 : 1.

The proposed zone change from R1-FP2 (Low Density Residential- Floodplain District 2) to R2-FP2 (Medium Density Residential-Floodplain District 2) would subject six units to noise levels of Ldn 45 or greater due to insufficient setbacks and other mitigation measures . 5 . The proposed zone change from R1-FP2 (Low Density Residential- Floodplain District 2) to R2-FP2 (Medium Density Residential-Floodplain District 2) would facilitate designs aesthetically incompatible with the surrounding residential areas in regards to density, height, setbacks, landscaping and flood mitigation. 5 . 0 ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: The Planning Commmission may choose one of the following alternatives : Alternative 1 - Staff Alternative A.

The Land Use Element was adopted as a mandated element of the General Plan in December, 1973 ; this is the thirty-fourth amendment to the element . Planned land uses throughout the City are depicted in the attached Land Use Diagram. 1 . 1 METHODOLOGY This amendment concerns a change in General Plan designation on one site (Figure 1-1) . Section 15166 of the State Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Guidelines states that "The requirements for an EIR on a local General Plan Element or amendment thereof will be satisfied by the general plan or element document and no separate EIR will be required if : (1) the General Plan addresses all the points required to be in an EIR by Article 9 of the State EIR Guidelines, and (2) the document contains a special section or a cover sheet identifying where the general plan document addresses each of the points required. " In conformance with State guidelines , this document will constitute the EIR for Land Use Element Amendment No . 89-1 . The environmental setting and significant impacts associated with the issue areas identified in the initial study are addressed under Areas . of Concern (Sections 2 . 1 through 2 . 7) . Alternative land use designations and feasible mitigation measures to minimize significant effects are also discussed in this section. Section 3 . 0 addresses. overall environmental changes related to the following considerations : (1) the relationship between local short-term productivity; (2) irreversible or unavoidable environmental changes ; and (3) growth inducing impacts .

The property is currently designated for Low Density Residential (Figure 2-1) in the City' s Land Use Element . The current zoning on the property is Rl-FP2 . The R1 zoning permits single family residential construction and the FP2 suffix requires that ' the project be constructed in compliance with the City' s floodplain development standards . The flood depth on the site is three feet above adjacent grade and new construction must be elevated with the bottom of the lowest structural member of the lowest habitable floor above that elevation. On April 14 , 1989 , the applicant, Hall and Associates , filed a request for Land Use Element Amendment on the property for a change to Medium Density Residential . This request was filed concurrently with Zone Change No . 89-2 a request to change the zoning designation from R1 (Low Density Residential) to R2 (Medium Density Residential) and with Conditional Use Permit No. 89-17 and Tentative Tract No . 14017 for 18 single family units on 35 foot wide lots . The four applications are covered by EIR No . 89-5 and are being processed concurrently. GPA No . 89-1 -3- (3048d) ^fit;"j/ j���� %� • •• r see - . - •• I' ll�� �- , � • EMS PIC ma The applicant has requested to construct 18 single family detached homes on the site at a density of 7 . 1 units per gross acre. The existing Low Density land use designation would allow 13 attached dwelling units at a maximum 6 . 5 units per gross acre, or 10 single family detached units on 6 , 000 square foot lots . The following analysis will examine four alternative land use scenarios in addition to the existing General Plan of Low Density. The alternative land use designations are as follows : ( 1) Low Density Residential - 10 single family detached units (existing General Plan designation) (2) Low Density Residential - 13 single family attached units (existing General Plan designation Planned Development) (3) Medium Density Residential - 18 single family detached units (applicant ' s request) (4) Medium Density Residential - 37 apartments (maximum allowable under Medium Density Residential) (5) General Commercial - 20, 000 square foot convenience market The analysis of alternatives will focus on land use compatibility issues , traffic and parking issues, aesthetics, noise issues, geologic and soil issues , light and glare issues, as well as the provision of public. services . 2 . 1 . 2 Analysis 2 . 1 . 2 . 1 Land Use The study area is located in an area that is largely typified by low density residential development . The only adjacent areas that differ from this land use pattern. are the small convenience oriented shopping centers which lie directly across Bushard Street to the west and across Garfield Street to the north. The shopping center to the west was constructed in 1984 after General Plan Amendment No . 84-1 was approved for a change from Low Density Residential to General Commercial . That center is 2 .21 gross acres in size and contains 19 , 940 . square feet of commercial space. The principle tenant is a 7-11 convenience market . The 2 . 5 gross acres shopping center across Garfield Street to the north is actually located in Fountain Valley.- That center has been in existence for a number of years . Immediately to the south and east of the study area are single family subdivisions which were constructed in 1963 . The homes are zoned R1 and are designated Low Density Residential in the City' s General Plan. The majority of the homes are single. story units with 6 , 000 square foot lots and 60 foot street frontages . GPA No . 89-1 -5- (3048d) The subject property is zoned R1-FP2 and General Planned Low Density Residential . It has been utilized for farming purposes for many years . One single family residence located on the property will need to be demolished to make way for new development . when the subdivision to the east (Tract 4852) was constructed in 1963 , Albacore Drive was stubbed out at the eastern study site property boundary since the lot was not a part of the subdivision. Tentative Tract No . 4744 , of which Final Tract No . 4852 is a part, indicates that it was clearly intended for that street to eventually continue onto the study site as a continuation of the subdivision. Up to _ this point in time, continuation of the subdivision has not occurred . The applicant has requested to complete Albacore Drive as a private hammerhead in a single family subdivision on the study site. Rather than construct standard 6 , 000 square foot lots , however, the applicant has requested to be permitted to create 35 foot lots . This would allow 18 single family detached homes on the parcel , as opposed to 10, 6 , 000 square foot lots with single family homes . Since the applicant ' s request will slightly exceed the maximum number of units allowable under Low Density Residential, a General Plan Amendment and Environmental Impact Report are necessary. Any of the residential land use alternatives on the study site will impact the adjacent single story subdivisions in terms of building height and aesthetics . This is due to the need for three feet of grade elevation to comply with floodplain standards, and due to the fact that any new residential construction could be anticipated to be two stories in height . In order to minimize height impacts , zoning code standards pertaining to building setbacks , open space and fencing should be strictly adhered to . A positive aspect of residential development on the on the study site is that easy access may be obtained from Albacore Drive to the east . Residential development will allow Albacore to be continued onto the study site where a proper cul-de-sac or hammerhead turnaround can be constructed. At the same time, however, additional residential traffic on Albacore may lead to concerns related to parking and vehicle trip related impacts . Those impacts will be addressed in the traffic portion of this analysis . A commercial development on the study site would promote compatibility with the convenience centers which exist immediately across Bushard Street to the west and Garfield Avenue to the north. A convenience market at this location would take advantage of the visibility and easy access from the two adjacent arterial highways . Given that shopping opportunities already exist on the two corners, however, there is a concern that there may not be adequate market demand for more commercial at that location. A commercial center on the subject site would also not be able to promote the completion of a cul-de-sac or hammerhead on Albacore Drive to the east and would suggest possible negative impacts on the adjacent single family homes in the form of increased noise from delivery trucks and GPA No . 89-1 -6- (3048d) customer traffic . Any commercial center in this location would need to be designed to minimize delivery traffic at the back of the site and would have to incorporate appropriate setbacks and landscape screening as was done on the shopping center to the west . 2 . 1 . 3 Traffic and Circulation The 'study area is located at the signalized intersection of Garfield Avenue, a primary arterial with a capacity of 30 , 000 dai.ly vehicle trips, and Bushard Street , a secondary arterial with a capacity of 20 , 000 daily vehicle trips . Existing traffic volumes total approximately 18 , 900 daily trips on Bushard Street south of Garfield Avenue, and approximately 18 , 200 daily trips north of Garfield Avenue. These volumes place Bushard Street at Level of Service "C" , which is acceptable. Garfield Avenue presently conveys 17, 800 daily trips west of Bushard Street and 1.2 , 000 daily trips east of Bushard Street, placing it at a Level of Service "A" , which is excellent . Access to any of the residential alternatives would need to be taken exclusively from Albacore Drive. Albacore Drive is , in turn accessed from Garfield Avenue by way of Bluefin Lane . Residential access to the study area would then necessitate that vehicles drive 405 feet through the existing subdivision to the east . Due to the small size of the study area and the small number of units that could be constructed, it is not anticipated that any of the residential alternatives will generate traffic that will exceed the capacity of the local street which will be traversed. This is particularly true since Albacore Drive west of Bluefin presently serves only seven homes and consequently experiences very low traffic volumes . Any commercial development of the study area would be required to obtain all access directly from Bushard Street and Garfield Avenue. Public Works has indicated that driveways would need to be 'located immediately adjacent to the driveways which exist in the shopping centers across Garfield and Bushard in order to take advantage of existing striped medians and turning pockets . The following table indicates the traffic volumes which are estimated to be generated by each of the land use alternatives : Land Use Alternative Traffic Generation (1) Low Density Residential 100 Daily Trips (10 detached homes) (2) Low Density Residential 130 Daily Trips (13 attached homes) (3) Medium Density Residential 180 Daily Trips ( 18 attached homes, applicant ' s request) GPA No . 89-1 -7- (3048d) Land Use Alternative Traffic Generation (4) Medium Density Residential 259 Daily Trips (37 apartments) (5) Commercial 2, 600 Daily Trips (20, 000 square feet) As estimated above, none of the residential alternatives , when added to existing traffic volumes on Garfield and Bushard, will generate sufficient traffic to reduce levels of service on those arterials . The Low Density Residential alternative and the applicant ' s request are fairly similar in traffic impact on the local street system. A project which is built out to the maximum density (37 units) allowed under a Medium Density designation on. the site, however, will generate considerably more traffic than the other two residential alternatives . While this amount of traffic would not exceed the capacity of Albacore Drive, the additional traffic would be noticeable to the residents and could be deemed undesirable. Since the commercial alternative raises certain street circulation and access problems , a site plan showing proposed curb cuts and on-site circulation would be subject to review and approval of the Public Works Department . Apart from daily trip generation, another traffic related impact is that of vehicular parking . A typical single family subdivision with 60 foot lot frontages will allow considerable on-street parking in conjunction with the two car enclosed garages on-site which are required by code. The generous parking opportunities afforded by standard 6 , 000 square foot lot subdivisions contributes greatly to the Low Density "open" feel such subdivisions typically have. The applicant, however, while he is proposing single family homes, is also requesting that lot widths be reduced to 35 feet . Since his design does not feature rear alley garages, all garage access will need to be from the central local street . The result of this type of design is to eliminate off-site parking opportunities . Given that off-site (on-street) parking will not be available within the new subdivision, it is possible that the existing residences on Albacore Drive will be impacted by additional overflow on-street parking of vehicles to the east of the study site. In order to address the on-street parking issue, while still considering the applicant ' s request for 18 housing units, it may be desirable to examine the benefits of an attached unit project . An 18 unit attached housing project on the site would allow for a more efficient use of land. , Rather than consuming large amounts of land area in sideyard setbacks, that area could be consolidated into common open space and common parking areas which would be in addition to two-car garages for each unit . In order to eliminate on-street parking impacts associated with an 18 unit project, an attached unit design may therefore be necessary. This mitigation should be implemented through the zoning, conditional use permit and tentative tract process . GPA No . 89-1 -8- (3048d) 2 . 1 .4 Housing The City is presently in the process of preparing the five-year update of its Housing Element . Among the policies identified in the Draft Housing Element are those related to the provision of adequate housing opportunities in various income categories . Housing opportunities are to be promoted through various programs such as the streamlriirig of zoning and development processing, inventorying of available land, and the consideration of increasing allowable densities on appropriate parcels of land. The applicant ' s request for Medium Density Residential on the study area would be consistent with draft housing policies for the provision of additional housing opportunities in the City, though the request would only add five additional homes beyond what the existing .General Plan would allow, The fourth alternative for 37 units (maximum under Medium Density) under a Planned Development scenario would provide the greatest number of new housing opportunities (24 additional homes beyond Low Density Planned Development) . The commercial alternatives would service to eliminate housing opportunities in the City. 2 . 1 . 5 Public Services and Utilities 2 . 1. 5 . 1 Sewers The study site is located within Orange County Sanitation District Number 3 which is not experiencing any substantial service constraints . Development of the subject property would require connection to the 8-inch line which exists in Albacore. That line in turn feeds into a 54-inch County trunk sewer which runs in Bushard Street . The commercial alternative would require the construction of an 8-inch line to the 54-inch County trunk line which exists in Bushard Street or Garfield Avenue. 2 . 1 . 5 . 2 Water Any of the residential alternatives would receive sufficient water supply from the existing six-inch main in Albacore Drive., The commercial alternative would require connection into either 12-inch water main in Garfield Avenue or Bushard Street . It is important to note, however that although Huntington Beach has never experienced predicted peak hour demand, the current system is unable to meet that demand. There are system-wide improvements which need to be made in order to ensure the long-term acceptability of service. Those planned improvements have been tentatively approved by the City Council through their adoption of the Water Master Plan dated June 1988 . GPA No . 89-1 -9- (3048d) 2 . 1 . 5 . 3 Drainage The Public Works Department has indicated that any of the residential alternatives could be designed to drain onto Albacore Drive, Garfield Avenue or Bushard Street . The commercial alternative should be designed to drain to Bushard Street or Garfield Avenue. Any grade elevation program for the site which will be required to comply with the floodplain development regulations should follow these drainage guidelines . 2 . 1 . 5 . 4 Parks There are no neighborhood park facilities located within the subject quartersection. The nearest park facilities are the 2 . 5 acre Bushard Park site across Yorktown Avenue, one-half mile to the south and 5 . 5 acre Talbert Park located one-half mile across Bushard Street . Although there are no neighborhood parks within the quartersection, the Recreation Element of the City' s General Plan considers the study area to be adequately served by parks because of the proximity of the two neighborhood parks identified. 2 . 1 . 5 . 5 Police and Fire Protection Police service for the area of concern is .provided by the City of Huntington Beach which operates from a central facility located at Main Street and Yorktown Avenue. Police staffing is established by the General Plan at one officer per thousand population. Because of the small size of the study area, no additional staffing is anticipated should the site develop under any of the alternatives considered in this report . Fire response to the area of concern is provided by the City of Huntington Beach from the Bushard Station located approximately one mile south of the study area. Because of the close proximity of the fire station, no significant concerns are anticipated at this time in providing adequate fire protection for any of the alternatives considered for the site. 2 . 1 . 5 . 6 Schools The area of concern is located within the Fountain Valley School .District and is served by .Miola Elementary School and Huntington Beach High School . The school district has indicated that the school involved would be able to accommodate the increase in :students generated by any of the alternatives . Commercial development would have no impact on schools . 2 . 1. 5 . 7 Gas , Electrical and Telephone Service Natural gas service and electrical service are provided by the Southern California Gas Company and. Southern California Edison, respectively. The Southern California Edison Company has indicated that electrical load requirements can be met for any of the land GPA No . 89-1 -10- (3048d) uses considered for the study area provided that electrical load demand does not exceed estimates , and there are no unexpected outages to major sources of electrical supply. Similarly, the Southern California Gas Company foresees no difficulty in service future development under any of the proposed land uses provided current natural gas supplies continue to be available. The General Telephone Company, which provides telephone service for Huntington Beach; has indicated that adequate- service- can be provided for the area of concern under any of the land use alternatives . 2 . 1 . 5 . 8 Solid Waste Disposal The Rainbow Disposal Company provides solid waste collection to the City of Huntington Beach. No local service constraints are expected under any of the alternative land use designations assuming there is adequate access to accommodate the company' s refuse trucks . 2 . 1 . 6 Environmental Issues 2 . 1 . 6 . 1 Noise The area of concern lies at the intersection of a primary arterial (Garfield Avenue) and a secondary arterial (Bushard Street) . Based on projected 1990 Ground Transportation Noise Exposure Impacts, the majority of the site falls within the Ldn 65 noise contour, with only a small portion around the north and west perimeter of the site within the Ldn 70 noise contour . These noise levels are within acceptable levels (Ldn 80) for commercial development and therefore would not impact the commercial alternative. Residential development, however, would be affected by traffic noise. The applicant ' s request places six units adjacent to Bushard Avenue with only 10 to 13 foot setbacks . Special mitigation measures such as unit modification, additional building setbacks, walls , berming and/or landscaping could be employed to reduce this noise exposure and guarantee acceptable noise levels of less than Ldn 45 . Apart from noise impacts on the site, the land use selected for the site also has the potential to generate noises which would impact the surrounding residential uses . In particular, the commercial alternative could impact the adjacent residential uses with delivery truck and customer noises . Any commercial center should be designed to prohibit rear building truck deliveries . The residential alternatives would have very little potential to increase noise impacts on the surrounding residential uses . Any impacts that could exist should be mitigated by construction in conformance with the setback and fencing requirements of the City zoning code . GPA No . 89-1 -11- (3048d) 2 . 1 . 6 . 2 Light and Glare Any of the proposed residential alternatives on the subject site will feature street lighting and probably landscape lighting . The commercial alternative would possibly feature parking lot lighting . All of these additional light sources would have the potential to increase light and glare into the surrounding neighborhood. In order to mitigate this impact , all lighting should be directed to flood only those areas required on site . 2 . 1 . 6 . 3 Aesthetics All of the land use alternatives could have potential adverse aesthetic impacts on the surrounding neighborhood. The surrounding area is primarily one-story single family detached homes on 60-foot wide lots constructed prior to the City' s participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. The applicant ' s proposal is for two-story, single family detached homes on 35-foot wide lots . These new homes must have the lowest floor elevated approximately three (3) feet above existing grade. As a mitigation measure of these impacts particular design emphasis shall be placed on providing varying setbacks, architectural movement, second story setbacks, compatible materials, and a landscape easement along arterials . 2 . 1 . 6 . 4 Seismic, Soils and Geology In compliance with the Alquist-Priolo Geologic Hazards Zones Act of 1972, a Special Studies Zone has been established in Huntington Beach that includes the most hazardous earthquake fault locations . The study area is located well outside the Special Studies Zone. Although the site is not in the .Alquist-Priolo zone, it does lie in very close proximity to the Bolsa-Fairview earthquake fault which runs just southwest of the site. Given the proximity of this fault, a geologic study to address mitigation of potential seismic hazards should be prepared prior to entitlement for any of the land use alternatives . A 1974 study, Geotechnical Inputs, prepared for the City of Leighton-Yen and Associates, indicates the existence of a peat layer one-half to five feet thick in the vicinity of the study area . The report also indicates that there is .a low percentage (7%) of clay in the soil . Since peat deposits and expansive clay soils can cause damage to structures, a geotechnical study should be done to make proper design recommendations for construction on the property. 2 . 1 . 6 . 5 Flooding The study area is located within Zone AO (Depth 3) on the Flood Insurance Rate Map prepared for the City by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. This designation means that the site will be flooded to a depth of 3 feet in the event of a 100-year flood. GPA No . 89-1 -12- (3048d) Due to the flood status of the property, any new residential construction must be elevated so that the lowest structural member of the first habitable floor is located three feet or more above the adjacent grade. Commercial development must either be elevated or floodproofed to the same three foot elevation. 2 . 1 . 7 Economic Considerations The Planning staff utilized its standard fiscal impact methodology to analyze the alternatives in this amendment . The revenues and expenditures associated with each alternative were predicted for one year for comparison purposes . The results are summarized in the table below. Appendix A contains a summary of the fiscal impact assumptions . Alt . 1 Alt . 2 Alt . 3 Alt . 4 Alt . 5 Low Density Low Dens . PD Medium Medium Convenience Residential Residential Density Density Market 10 units 13 units 18 units 38 units 20, OOOsq. ft .

While most impacts of the request are minimal and easily mitigable, problems related to on-street parking and noise impacts from the adjacent arterials do exist . In order to address those concerns, staff would recommend that units be dropped from the project in order to provide on-street parking and additional building setbacks from Bushard Street and Garfield Avenue. By deleting those units, however, the density may not exceed the existing allowable density under Low Density Residential . As such, there would be no need to amend the General Plan and the amendment request should be denied. Alternatively, this EIR has indicated that the applicant ' s density request can be effectively mitigated if the project design is suitably modified. Those modifications would involve redesigning the project from a detached unit product to an attached product . By doing so, additional parking and setbacks can both be obtained . One concern with this approach, :however, is that once the General Plan is amended, the applicant could then request a 37 unit apartment project which would be the maximum allowable under the Medium Density designation . A proJ.ect of this nature would not be compatible with the adjacent neighborhood in terms of traffic generation and character . GPA No . 8971 -13- (3048d) If it is determined that the applicant ' s 18 unit request has merit, then special zoning should be adopted for the site which would limit the maximum number of units to 18 and which would contain other conditions to ensure compatibility. It would be appropriate to attach a density cap of 7 . 1 units per gross acre to the R2 zoning, as well as requiring that the PD (Planned Development) suffix also be attached . Conditions related to parking provision, setbacks and building heights should also be included under the Q (Qualified) suffix. With those conditions , staff feels that the applicant ' s request for Medium Density Residential can be fully mitigated. GPA No . 89-1 -14- (3048d) 3 .0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES In accordance with California Environmental Quality Act guidelines , an environmental assessment is required to address short-term and long-term effects, irreversible environmental changes, and growth inducing impacts of the total project or plan. This section analyzes these concerns in context of the recommended land use changes in Section 2 . 0 . 3 . 1 SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM PRODUCTIVITY Amendment No. 89-1 does not in and of itself create long term impacts . Rather, it makes changes in the general type of land uses that may be allowed on a particular area at the time of development . Amendment No . 89-1 seeks to identify short-range issues within a context of long-range goals , policies; and environmental planning programs . The amendment itself acts as a mitigation measure designed to minimize any adverse effects on long-term productivity resulting from short-term uses . One of the steps required to implement the amendment .is an analysis of the zone changes necessary to bring the zoning into conformance with the General Plan. The zoning changes that would result would have significant short-term effects, such as creating non-conforming uses, reducing or increasing intensity of development permitted, and providing stimulus for development . GPA No . 89-1 -15- (3048d) 3 . 2 IRREVERSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES The Amendment EIR addresses mitigation measures for most adverse effects . However, irreversible environmental change of a secondary nature can be expected from development under the proposed amendments . Loss of open space will occur as vacant land is converted to other uses . Although the option to recycle the land to , open space after development is available, it is probably .not economically feasible. Alteration of topography will be an irreversible change. Although mitigating measures can be imposed as part of the development process, the natural topography will experience a negligible degree of modification. Construction materials of mineral origin will also be needed for development to occur, and fossil fuels will be committed for long periods to satisfy local energy demand. However, such development would be consistent with existing land use designations . 3 . 3 GROWTH INDUCING IMPACTS The proposed amendment will also have growth inducing effects within the area of concern. An additional population of 85 persons could be generated by uses under Land Use Element Amendment No . 89-1, •thereby creating an increased demand on public services and utilities and incrementally affecting air quality, water quality, traffic, and noise levels . The demand for water and energy will likely increase as a result of the proposed land uses in this amendment . Conservation measures such as those outlined below can be implemented City-wide to reduce these impacts . 3 .3 1 Water 3 . 3 . 1 . 1 Interior (a) Supply line pressure: Water pressure greater than 50 pounds per square inch (psi) be reduced to 50 psi or less by means of a pressure-reducing valve. . (b) Drinking fountains : Drinking fountains be equipped with self-closing valves . (c) Hotel rooms : Conservation reminders be posted in rooms and restrooms . Thermostatically controlled mixing valve be installed for bath/shower . (d) Laundry facilities : Water-conserving models of washers be used. (e) Restaurants : Water-conserving models of dishwashers be used or spray emitters that have been retrofitted for reduced flow. Drinking water be served upon request only. (f) Ultra-low-flush toilets : 1-1/2 gallon per flush toilets be installed in all new construction. GPA No . 89-1 -16- (3048d) 3 . 3 . 1 . 2 Exterior (a) Landscape with low-water-using plants wherever feasible. (b) Minimize use of lawn by limiting it to lawn-dependent uses, such as playing fields . When lawn is used; require warm season grasses . (c) Group plants of similar water use to reduce over irrigation of low-water-using plants . (d) Provide information to occupants regarding benefits of low-water-using landscaping and sources of additional assistance . (e) Use mulch extensively in all landscaped areas . Mulch applied on top of soil will improve the water-holding capacity of the soil by reducing evaporation and soil compaction. (f) Preserve and protect existing trees and shrubs . Established plants are often adapted to low-water-using conditions and their use -saves water needed to establish replacement vegetation. (g) Install efficient irrigation systems that minimize runoff and evaporation and maximize the water that will reach the plant roots . Dip irrigation, soil moisture sensors, and automatic irrigation systems are a few methods of increasing irrigation efficiency. (h) Use pervious paving material whenever feasible to reduce surface water runoff and aid in ground water recharge. (i) Grade slopes so that runoff of surface water is minimized. (j ) Investigate the feasibility of utilizing reclaimed waste water, stored 'rainwater, or grey water for irrigation. (k) Encourage cluster development, which can reduce the amount of land being converted to urban use. This will reduce the amount of impervious paving created and thereby aid in ground water recharge. (1) Preserve existing natural drainage areas and encourage he incorporation of natural drainage systems in new developments . This aids ground water recharge. (m) To aid in ground water recharge, preserve flood plains ar,d aquifer recharge areas as open space. (n) Encourage tertiary treatment of and reuse of the return flow of public water supplies wherever such use is acceptable and safe. GPA No . 89-1 -17- (3048d) 3 . 3 . 1 . 3 Gas , Electric, Air Quality (a) Prohibit the use of open gas lighting in public or private buildings . (b) If lighting is included in the parking lot and/or recreation area energy efficiency lamps shall be. used (e.g . high pressure sodium vapor, metal halide) . All outside lighting shall be directed to prevent "spillage" onto adjacent properties . (c) Strategically place electric lights to maximize their efficiency. Their size and power consumption should be . minimized as much as possible . (d) Discourage electrical heating in public and private structures . Encourage solar-assisted heating systems . (e) Encourage the use of reflecting and/or insulating glass in structures where windows are not shaded by exterior architectural projections or natural plants . (f) Information on equipment or facilities which may generate air pollutants shall be 'submitted to the South Coast Air Quality Management District staff for their review prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any use within the building . (g) Commercial and office. projects should provide on-site day care facilities where feasible in order to reduce private vehicle trips . Ride share programs should also be encouraged. Restaurants and other shopping opportunities should be encouraged in major employment centers to further reduce .the need for private vehicle trips from the site. GPA No . 89-1 -18- (3048d) GD HALL and ASSOCIATES, INC. October 2, 1989 �- �4 City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main St. Huntington Beach, CA. 92648 Attn: Mr. Michael Conner RE : Appeal of Planning Commission Decision Land Use Element Amendment No. 89-1 Zone Change No. 89-2 Dear Mr. Conner; We are appealing the decision of the Planning Commission denying our requests for a zone change and land use amendment. We are being denied the same use of the property that other property holders in the area enjoy. Our project is less intensive than adjoining properties. Three of the adjoining corners of the intersection are commercial. A commercial zoning has an adverse impact on the area as you can see from the Environmental Impact Report. Our project would not have this negative impact. The Environmental Impact Report states that "due to the small size of the study area and the small number of units that could be con- structed, it is not anticipated that any of the residential alternatives will generate traffic-that will exceed the capacity of the local street which will be traversed." Our project would provide the look and feel of the single family dwellings in the neighborhood, and with the slightly larger number of units we have requested, we would not have a negative impact. Any concerns in connection with noise and aesthetics can be mitigated through the designs and landscaping of the project. We therefore request the City Council to examine our request for a Zone Change and Land Use Amendment. Sin r ly, 'lliam M.

The 1. 9 acre project is located at the southeast corner of Garfield Avenue and Bushard Street . The property is currently zoned R1-FP2 (Low Density Residential-Flood Plain) which allows for 6 . 5 units per acre. Access to the subdivision is from Albacore. In conjunction with the subdivision request is a general plan amendment and zone change to R2 (Medium Density residential) which would permit up to 15 units per acre on the property. The proposed subdivision represents 10 units per gross acre. Robert Franklin presented an overview of the project as well as the following concerns and requirements from Community Development : 1 . Special permits will be required for lack of common open space with recreation amenities and guest parking . 2 . Access from Albacore as presented is recommended. Access to the arterial streets is not recommended. 3 . Planned Residential Development Standards are required. 4 . Parking on private streets is prohibited due to a narrow street section and lack of curb space. 5 . Increase variety in building setbacks; the current design creates a straight line effect . 6 . A 10 ' landscape buffer is recommended along arterial streets . The Committee discussed the density of the project . Commissioner Ortega suggested that the project be revised as a 13-unit subdivision instead of the proposed 18 . Discussion ensued. John Cowles, applicant, requested that the Committee vote on the plan as it was presented. He did not wish to change or revise the project . Bruce Crosby presented the following requirements of Public Works : 1 . The Tentative Tract Map shall be revised to show: a . 7 ' of dedication on Garfield Avenue along Lots 13 - 18 . b.

"Hammerhead" portion of street shall be a designated fire lane with no parking allowed. Subdivision Minutes -2- (3383d) Planning Commission Comments : 1 . Commissioner Ortega recommended that the project be reduced to a 13-lot planned residential development; and expressed concern regarding on-site/off-site guest parking and buffer/setback problems to existing residences and arterial streets . 2 . Commissioner Kirkland stated that two-thirds of the units back or side an arterial . He expressed concerns regarding the lack of a sound buffers for those units as well as concerns about the elevation (3 ' higher than adjacent properties) of the proposed residences . 3 . Commissioner Bourguignon was concerned with the possible visual problems of the residences from the street . The current design of the plan lacks variety in the building setbacks and presents small front yard areas . All three Commissioners expressed great concern about the proposal ' s lack of on-site/off-site parking (i .e. guest parking, resident parking) . The Committee requested that the applicant provide for more on-site parking . The two allotted spaces per unit were not sufficient for the site. After lengthy discussion between the Committee and the applicant, a i suggestion was made to revise the plan. The applicant agreed to submit a conceptual layout of duplexes instead of the proposed single family detached residences . Commissioner Ortega made a motion to continue this item to the next Subdivision meeting scheduled for August 16, 1989 at 1 :30 p.m. This would allow time for the applicant to revise the tentative map to address the concerns stated herein and re-submit it for the Subdivision Committee' s review. Commissioner Bourguignon seconded the motion and it passed 6-0 . i Subdivision Minutes -3- (3383d) SUBDIVISION MINUTES AUGUST 9 , 1989 1 :30 PM Subdivision Committee Members Present : Geri Ortega, Kirk Kirkland, Ken Bourguignon, Bill Patapoff, Ward Kinsman (representing Steve Parker) , Mike Adams Staff Present : Scott Hess Tentative Tract No . 14017: Applicant: Hall & Associates This item was continued from the August 2, 1989 Subdivision Committee to allow the applicant time to submit revised plans addressing the concerns of the Committee. The applicant had agreed to prepare two plans, one depicting 9 duplexes and one as an alternative single family residence plan showing more guest parking spaces . Subsequently, the applicant requested that the Committee make a determination on the project as it was presented with no revisions . ' Following the applicant ' s request, the Subdivision Committee met on this date to review and discuss the proposal . The applicant was unable to attend the meeting . After brief discussion, Commissioner Kirkland made a motion to recommend denial to the Planning Commission of the 18 unit detached planned residential development project as presented based on insufficient guest parking .

Main: The Environmental Board has reviewed EIR No. 89-5 . the General Plan Admendment for the southeast corner of Garfield and Bushard. There is no significant justification presented in this document for the proposed rezoning of the parcel from RI (Low Density Residential) to R2 (Medium Density Residential) . Construction of two-story homes three feet above existing grade would have a considerable negative impact on the existing neighborhood of modest single story homes. mitigation measures must address aesthetics , glare, and noise emanating from such a project. Setbacks and screens of mature trees should be considered to avoid adverse impact on neighbors. Parking, as noted in the report, will be a definite problem. Even using existing R1 zoning, off-site parking will be severely limited in the proposed cul-de-sac situation. Not addressed in this report is the considerable negative impact of construction debris and noise generated by this project within a previously developed residential area. Construction equipment and materials will be transported through the tract to the Albacore cul-de-sac. Additionally, existing buildings on the site must be evaluated for asbestos content. Demolition of any structures demonstrated to contain asbestos should comply with OSHA and Huntington Beach City mandates for the removal of hazardous substances. Extreme caution should be used to avoid air-borne contamination of adjoining inhabited sites.

On the GPA-89-1 there were AP numbers on your 1988 list that did not appear on the 1989 list. Please inform me why this is if 1989 maps were used, see Hilite). The Downtown CUP hearing was also from the 1988 book, and as you ` can see updated to the 1989 book. — It is necessary that I receive your personal. -verification that the 1989 update is based on the 1989 parcel maps (including Fountain Valley) by receiving the attached affidavit signed. This is necessary due to the fact that you initialed the CUP- Downtown Hearing as being based on 1989 maps and they were not. The GPA hearing of Mike Connors was an understandable error, however, it too will need the same verification. If, in comparing the AP list with the parcel maps you find people it should be sent to we can do this if you get this office the addresses by Wednesday. The hearings cannot be held if I do not receive this information, as I will not be able to prepare minutes of the hearing which state "that all legal requirements for notification" were met. Please do not have the Planner who did the previous verification again do this. � r CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH INTER-DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATION HUNTINGTON BEACH To Howard Zelefsky From Connie Brockway Director Planning City Clerk Subject Notification for Public Hearings Date October 30, 1989 for: Cl) CUP-89-1 - RPPdAI (2,) Appeal of Planning Commission's Denial of General Plan Amendment No. 89-1 and Zone Change No. 89-2 Both scheduled to be held 11/6/89 Be advised that there has not been any recent subdivisions, tentative parcel maps, or lot line adjustments within the notification area which would affect the mailing list..-..The attached lists were based on the 1989 ma s_ as well as 1989 Map Books.
