BACKGROUND In 1996, the Coastal Commission reviewed and approved a Local Coastal Program (LCP) for the Bolsa Chica submitted by the County of Orange. The LCP limited development to 1,235 homes on the Mesa, and proposed the removal of the eucalyptus grove located on the edge of the Mesa. PL00-03.doc -2- December 28, 1999 11:36 AM 0 REQUEST FOR ACTION 0 MEETING DATE: January 3, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL00-03 Earlier this year, the Court of Appeal rendered a decision pertaining to the Bolsa Chica Local Coastal Program (LCP) which determined that the existing eucalyptus trees on the mesa cannot be removed, a 100-foot buffer must be maintained around Warner Pond, and residential development of the lowland wetlands is not permitted. As a result of the Court of Appeal's decision, the LCP must to return to the Coastal Commission for their review and approval. The LCP is tentatively scheduled to be reviewed by the Coastal Commission in February 2000. The City Council Subcommittee on the Bolsa Chica met on December 3, 1999 to discuss the seven Bolsa Chica Coastal Issues previously adopted by the City Council in August 1995. The City's seven issues were presented to the Coastal Commission for consideration when the LCP was originally reviewed in 1996. The City Council Subcommittee received comments from the general public, evaluated the applicability of the existing Bolsa Chica Coastal Issues, and recommended the addition of two new issues that apply to the former Fieldstone property and archaeology on the Mesa. The Subcommittee also requested an update on the storm drain outfall pipes and possibility of the existence of vernal pools on the Mesa. Bolsa Chica Coastal Issues Listed below are the seven Bolsa Chica Coastal Issues approved by City Council in August 1995 that were submitted to the Coastal Commission for consideration. 1. Conservation Easement: a conservation easement should be placed over the entire restoration area to protect it from future use as anything other than wetland restoration uses. (The conservation easement should be required to protect the lowland restoration areas, even if federal permits are not sought, are should and not granted, or if the property is acquired by a federal agency.) 2. Mesa Top Buffer: the Bolsa Chica Local Coastal Plan should include an open space buffer, on top of the Mesa (along the bluff edge), to protect the bluff and wetlands restoration area from the areas designated for development. The buffer should be of sufficient width to accommodate passive recreational uses (such as bicycle and/or pedestrian trails, benches and vista overlooks) similar to those planned for the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park (which runs parallel to the Bolsa Chica Mesa, along the length of the Huntington Mesa at the southern most edge of the Bolsa Chica area). PL00-03.doc -3- December 28, 1999 11:36 AM 0 REQUEST FOR ACTION 0 MEETING DATE: January 3, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL00-03 3. Wetland Restoration Plan: the restoration plan proposed in the LCP is a well- balanced plan which provides a valuable combination of habitats and will provide winter eco-tourism opportunities to the City. Implementation of the restoration plan should be careful to ensure that the tidal inlet is designed in a manner which will have no adverse impact to the beach, public recreation or be detrimental to public safety, health or welfare; that site planning of open space, parks, trails, ecological reserves or other open space amenities maintain the relationship between Mesa upland and lowland areas; and that the natural topography of the Mesa and bluff faces are maintained by limiting of grading, terracing or other similar methods. 4. Mesa Top Roadway: the LCP should incorporate a buffer by a Mesa top roadway which runs roughly parallel to the recommended bluff top buffer and separates the buffer from development areas. The Mesa roadway would serve as a distinct boundary between areas designated for development and public open space areas and would provide public access opportunities to public open space areas while providing additional separation from development and protection to the wetland restoration area. 5. Cultural/Historical Memorialization: the LCP should include memorialization of the cultural and historical resources found in the Bolsa Chica. Memorialization should be provided through interpretive signage and displays which depict the Bolsa Chica's history of oil production, use by Native Americans and the significance of the site during World War II; these elements should be incorporated into vista overlooks and small kiosks provided along the buffer. 6. Compatibility with Existing Los Patos Development: the LCP should designate the Bolsa Chica areas, adjacent to the City, to a compatible land use and zoning that is of similar density, type and scale to existing development along Los Patos Avenue. 7. Product Type: the LCP should reflect a percentage of single and multi-family units that exists in the immediate project vicinity which is not less than 66.66 percent single family. B. BOLSA CHICA SUBCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS The Bolsa Chica Subcommittee voted to modify two of the original Bolsa Chica Coastal Issues. In particular, recommendations were made to modify issues No. 1 and No. 2 of the original list. No changes were recommended for the remaining Coastal Issues, however a recommendation was made to add an issue that addressed archaeology on the Mesa. For ease of reference, the original Issue is stated first, proceeded by the Subcommittee's recommended modifications. PL00-03.doc -4- December 28, 1999 11:36 AM . REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: January 3, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL00-03 Conservation Easement: a conservation easement should be placed over the entire restoration area to protect it from future use as anything other than wetland restoration uses. (The conservation easement should be required to protect the lowland restoration areas, even if federal permits are not sought, are should and not granted, or if the property is acquired by a federal agency.) Currently, the former Fieldstone property is not included in the LCP boundary. The Subcommittee made the following recommendation to modify the existing conservation easement issue to include the Fieldstone property: A conservation easement should be placed over the former Fieldstone property — staff concurs with the Subcommittee. Mesa Top Buffer: the Bolsa Chica Local Coastal Plan should include an open space buffer, on top of the Mesa (along the bluff edge), to protect the bluff and wetlands restoration area from the areas designated for development. The buffer should be of sufficient width to accommodate passive recreational uses (such as bicycle and/or pedestrian trails, benches and vista overlooks) similar to those planned for the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park (which runs parallel to the Bolsa Chica Mesa, along the length of the Huntington Mesa at the southern most edge of the Bolsa Chica area). The Subcommittee made the following recommendation: A 100-meter Mesa top buffer, as recommended by the Department of Fish and Game, should be required to protect the bluff restoration areas from areas designated for development. Staff believes the City should support the Coastal Commission staff's recommendation which would be based on State and Federal Agency recommendations. At this time the Coastal Commission staff report has not been completed and specific recommendations for buffer width are not yet known. New Issues: In addition to the modifications listed above, the Bolsa Chica Subcommittee also recommended that the Coastal Commission should more specifically address the issue of archaeology. The Subcommittee's recommendation is as follows: PL00-03.doc -5- December 28, 1999 11:36 AM ACTION •REQUEST FORO MEETING DATE: January 3, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL00-03 Archaeology: the LCP should require test excavations to determine the depth and complexity of the sites and areas that are being written-off on the basis of inadequate information. The LCP should require the information and artifacts recovered from the date recovery excavations to be made available to scholars and Native Americans, and interpreted for the public. The LCP should require the preservation of at least a portion of the most significant sites so that in the future Native American descendants can restore and maintain the connection between the people of today and the past. Staff believes the LCP has established policies for the Bolsa Chica Planned Community that will require compliance with all County-adopted archaeological/paleontological policies. These policies ensure that all reasonable and proper steps are taken to either preserve archaeological remains in place, or alternatively, that measures are taken to assure the recovery, identification, and analysis of such resources so that their scientific and historical values are preserved. An archaeological research design for the Bolsa Chica shall be completed and submitted along with the first Master Coastal Development Permit application for land use development (Source: Bolsa Chica LCP, Section 3.4.2 - Cultural Resources Component, pg. 3-21 and 3-22). It would be premature to add detailed archaeological conditions at the LCP level. The LCP currently requires that conditions pertaining to archaeology shall be placed on the project during the tentative map process. Other Issues: Vernal Pools Hearthside Homes has submitted a biological assessment to the Coastal Commission to evaluate the possibility of the existence of vernal pools on the Bolsa Chica Mesa. In conversations with the Coastal Commission staff it is our understanding that vernal pools are not present on the Mesa. However, there may be seasonal ponds present that should be preserved. Storm Drain Outfall Pipes In April 1998, the City sent a letter to the Army Corps of Engineers (Attachment No. 1) identifying concerns related to the drainage structures. Concerns included: degradation of the visual quality of the bluff and bluff face visible from Pacific Coast Highway, disturbance to the wetlands and wildlife habitat, water quality and velocity associated with discharge into the wetlands, and water quality impacts for the Huntington Harbour. The letter also requested that the Army Corps of Engineers handle the application as an Individual Permit, rather than a Nationwide Permit. PL00-03.doc -6- December 28, 1999 11:36 AM 0REQUEST FOR ACTION • MEETING DATE: January 3, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL00-03 The Army Corps of Engineers determined that the application would remain a Nationwide Permit, and has processed the application accordingly. Staff and Bolsa Chica Subcommittee Recommendation: Storm Drain Outfall Pipes: Staff continues to support the concerns addressed in the letter sent to the Army Corps of Engineers dated April 7, 1998, and recommends the Coastal Commission evaluate the following issues in the LCP: degradation of the visual quality of the bluff and bluff face visible from Pacific Coast Highway due to the placement of the drainage structures and the bluff stabilization work required, disturbance to wetlands and wildlife habitat from the placement of structures in wetlands and the water quality and velocity of water to be discharged into the wetlands, and the potential water quality impacts for the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and Huntington Harbour. Environmental Status: Not applicable. This action is for the purpose of filing a report to the City Council and does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act.

It is important,therefore,that the City and the public be fully apprised of all proposed projects,their associated permit applications,and the requirements for those permits and have the ability to comment and provide input on them. Since the area will likely be annexed eventually,it is quite appropriate that the City be given the opportunity to review and comment on all permit applications. This is to request your cooperation in advising our City Administrator of any and all permit applications and intended actions with respect to activities in the Bolsa Chica area. ' As to the Nationwide 7 Permit sought for the Bolsa Chica drainage structures',the City has the following concerns: 1. Degradation of the visual quality of the bluff and bluff face visible from Pacific Coast Highway due to the large structures themselves and the bluff stabilization work required. rinjo,Japan -5I5--TER CITIELS Zea 2. Disturbance to wetlands and wildlife habitat from the placement of structures in wetlands and the water quality and velocity of water to be discharged into the wetlands. 3. Potential water quality impacts for the Bolsa Chica Wetlands.and Huntington Harbour- (we recognize that redirecting runoff to other discharge points is likely to result iu the waters ultimately entering into the Wetlands and Huntington Harbour anyway). We request that this application be handled as an Individual Permit,rather than a Nationwide Permit and not be acted upon until after certification of the Bolsa Chica Local Coastal Program by the State Coastal Commission,and issuance of the Permit by the State Regional Water Control Board. We believe that processing the application for a Nationwide Permit would be contrary to the public interest We have also been advised that the Corp could reassert jurisdiction(as you did in 1994)to again extend to all of the Bolsa Chica Mesa,given the drainage structure impacts on the wetlands and waters of the United States. We would appreciate hearing from you on this question. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

No habitable structures will be placed within this setback. Additionally, the project proposes the development of a Community Park (Source: County LCP Land Use Plan, Exhibit F) along the major fault line that will prevent any building structures from being constructed in an unsafe proximity to the fault. Any development within the Bolsa Chica project area will be in full compliance with all Local and State seismic standards and requirements as set forth in the EIR Mitigation Program and LCP conditions of approval. CITY GOALS APPROVED 2/22/99 102. Fire: The Fire Department has indicated that annexing the Bolsa Chica will have an impact on the Department's ability to assume and provide fire protection services throughout the City. Annexing the Bolsa Chica area will consume system-wide facility resources. Goals to achieve (relating to fire issues) include funding for necessary capital .improvements, meeting required response time standards' for fire or medical emergencies and obtaining acceptable access to the Bolsa Chica Planned Community. The Bolsa Chica Annexation Study found that the City's on-going costs for police and fire service to the proposed Mesa development would be provided for by the property taxes and other revenue generated by the development. Included in this finding is transfer of the Orange County Fire Authority's property tax levy to the City. In addition to these on- going revenues, staffs negotiations with Hearthside Homes have yielded substantial public safety related exactions, including a $75,000 payment for police services and$2.5 million to provide for fire improvements related to the development. 103. Public Works: any pre-annexation agreement would include provisions to address streets, water and wastewater issues. Staff and Hearthside Homes have negotiated conceptual terms of a pre-annexation agreement that requires Hearthside Homes to provide, among other exactions, the City with a 9-million gallon water reservoir and a sewer lift station that will replace an aging City facility and accommodate the development's sewer needs. 104. Water: production, distribution and storage of water should all be part of the pre- annexation negotiations. The City's goal is to ensure that adequate supplies of water are available under all conditions, including provision of storage in case of a temporary cessation of deliveries, and in meeting fire flow pressure and volume. Through discussions with Hearthside Homes and City staff, both parties have proposed that, as a term of any pre-annexation agreement, the City shall provide all municipal services to the Mesa development project, including, but not limited to: water, police, and fire services. The terms have also proposed that Hearthside Homes will provide the City with improvement security (bond or other acceptable instrument of credit) to pay for a 9- million gallon water reservoir, booster station and appurtenances (the "water improvements'). Hearthside Homes will complete construction of the water improvements (to City standards) before occupancy of the 351s' unit in the Mesa tE development project. Hearthside Homes will also dedicate approximately 1.5 acres of t 06/25/99 30 j i1 t l land to the City for the water reservoir(at a site mutually agreeable to Hearthside Homes and the City). If the Bolsa Chica were annexed into the City, the City would have a statutory obligation to provide water service to the area. If the annexation occurs, the 9 million-gallon water reservoir will help to complete Water Master Plan improvements. 105. Wastewater: negotiations must address the means by which wastewater will be collected and pumped and how related facilities will be financed. The City should create the most efficient design to accommodate both the current wastewater service needs and the needs of future development. It was proposed that, as a term of any pre-annexation agreement, Hearthside Homes will provide the City with a sewer lift station (the "sewer improvements'). Hearthside Homes will complete construction of the sewer improvements to City standards prior to occupancy of the first unit in the Mesa development project. 106. Streets: the project must accommodate efficient traffic circulation, address traffic safety standards, and adequately meet parking demands. The local road system for the Bolsa Chica Mesa will be served by the Mesa Connector which will be a collector roadway, connecting Warner Avenue with Bolsa Chica Street. It will be constructed as a 2-lane, divided road, with landscaped parkways and a median between the two project entries (Warner Avenue and Bolsa Chica Street). Class 11 bicycle lanes will be provided within the roadway. Adjacent to the Mesa Community Park, notched public parking and landscape pockets will be provided on both sides of the roadway. 107. Community Services: it is anticipated that the increase in population will further burden current over-utilized recreation facilities in proximity to the Bolsa Chica area. The Community Services Department has projected the need to provide additional sports field improvements at two adjacent elementary schools. The impacts on facilities will occur whether or not the Bolsa Chica is annexed into the City; however, a pre- annexation agreement may provide the opportunity for the City to negotiate park design standards and adequate funding to address service/maintenance costs. Community Services has determined that the proposed concept plan for the Mesa Community Park is acceptable if the project can provide for three lighted fields to maximize the availability of the fields to serve the youth sports participants that the project will generate. Through discussions with Hearthside Homes and City staff, both parties have proposed that, as a term of any pre-annexation agreement, that Hearthside Homes will construct a recreational playing field (soccer) with "practice level"lighting on the park planned to be adjacent to the new school playing fields. As part of an anticipated land exchange agreement, staff expects the Ocean View School District and Hearthside Homes will cooperate in lighting the two proposed school playing fields. 108. Police: if annexed, the City's Police Department will provide all law enforcement related services to the Bolsa Chica area. Goals relating to police issues include maintaining 06/25/99 31 i RCA ROUTING SHEET INITIATING DEPARTMENT: Planning SUBJECT: Bolsa Chica Coastal Issues COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 3, 2000 RSA ATTAR H M E N7S STATUS Ordinance (w/exhibits & legislative draft if applicable) Not Applicable Resolution (w/exhibits & legislative draft if applicable) Not Applicable Tract Map, Location Map and/or other Exhibits Not Applicable Contract/Agreement (w/exhibits if applicable) (Signed in full by the City Attorney) Not Applicable Subleases, Third Party Agreements, etc. (Approved as to form by City Attorney) Not Applicable Certificates of Insurance (Approved by the City Attorney) Not Applicable Financial Impact Statement (Unbudget, over $5,000) Not Applicable Bonds (If applicable) Not Applicable Staff Report (If applicable) Not Applicable Commission, Board or Committee Report (If applicable) Not Applicable Findings/Conditions for Approval and/or Denial Not Applicable EXPLANATIONFOR MISS1G ATTACHMENTS . ..
