Re: EIR 83-3
To Whom It May Concern:
At its regular meeting on September 4, the City Council voted
to not certify EIR 83-3 . Similar to the Planning Commission, the
City Council did not cite any inadequacies of the report. Rather,
the only objection expressed was the report' s timing vis-a-vis the
overall planning activities for the Bolsa Chica. Because we feel
that the Coastal Commission will take an action in the near future,
thus resolving the Council' s concerns, we respectfully request that
the City Council reconsider its action, and continue the matter to
its December 3 meeting.
Thank you for your attention.

Re: EIR 83-3
Members of the City Council :
On Tuesday, September 4, the Council will be asked to consider
certification of EIR 83-3, which concerns the 42 .4-acre parcel located
at the southern terminus of Graham Street. As the applicant, I
respectfully request that the Council consider the following:
• The hearing is solely to address whether or not the EIR meets
CEQA guidelines as an informational document. The two
emotion-filled hearings before the Planning Commission were
dominated by speakers supporting or attacking the merits of
the project itself. It was not then, and is not now,
appropriate to address site-specific issues; rather, such
issues would normally be considered at the tentative tract
map and/or conditional use permit stages . That consideration
of the site-specific issues weighed heavily on the Planning
Commission' s decision is evidenced by the fact that no
informational deficiencies were cited in its recommendation
that the EIR be denied certification.
• The city' s planning staff has recommended certification of
the EIR. The people who comprise that staff may well be the
best qualified to interpret CEQA guidelines .
• Certification of the EIR would serve to acknowledge only that
a good faith effort at full disclosure has been made by the
city-appointed EIR consultants, Van Dell and Associates.
Certification would not, and could not, commit the City to go
ahead with the project; it is only the first of many steps
necessary to gain to proper entitlements .
In summary, I ask only that the hearing focus on the EIR as the
disclosure document it is meant to be. Many homeowners in the
existing tracts adjacent to our parcel (i.e. , The Landing, Bolsa
Landmark Homes, and Cal Classics By The Sea) have expressed an
interest in speaking on behalf of our project. I have discouraged
them from doing so Tuesday night, as that would only continue to cloud
the issue.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully submitted,

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Date August 22, 1984
Submitted to: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Submitted by: Charles W. Thompson, City Administrator

Subject: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 8 3-3, GRAHAM PLA E PROJECT
Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Actions, Attachments:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE :
Transmitted for your consideration is Environmental Impact Report
No. 83-3 which assesses the potential environmental affect of a
proposed general plan amendment and pre-zone for 42.4 acres of
property within the unincorporated Bolsa Chica area of Orange
County at the terminus of Graham Street between the Orange County
Flood Contro1 District Wintersburg Channel and a point
approximately 1400 feet south of Graham Street. The pre-zone
change is being processed concurrently with a general plan land
use element amendment (LUE 84-1, Area 2 .1) to redesignate the
subject property from planning reserve to low density
residential. The general plan and pre-zone are preliminary steps
taken by the applicant to request annexation of the site into
the City of Huntington Beach.
RECOMMENDATION :
The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council not
certify EIR 83-3 as presented to them onJune 19 , 1984 . As an
alternative action, staff recommends that the City Council certify
Final EIR 83-3 which has been completed in compliance with CEQA
and the EIR Guidelines.

ABSENT: None -
ABSTAIN : Erskine
Discussion :
Final Environmental Impact Report No. 83-3 (Graham Place Project)
has been prepared as an objective assessment of the individual and
collective environmental impacts associated with the development
of approximately 98 single family homes and approximately 114-119
townhomes. Specifically, the EIR addresses the approval of a
general plan amendment and pre-zone which would redesignate 42. 4
acres from planning reserve to low density residential. The 42.4
acres are located in the unincorporated Bolsa Chica area of Orange
County. The pre-zone would designate the property low density
residential (R 1) . The City has the authority to designate land
uses and pre-zone unincorporated areas within its sphere of
influence.
The EIR was prepared at the request of. the applicant (Fieldstone
Company) after consultation with the Development Services
Department staff regarding the potential impact associated with
the proposed project. The environmental consulting firm of
Vandell and Associates was engaged by Development Services
Department to prepare the EIR.
Section 15160 from State EIR Guidelines, requires that the City
"provide adequate time for other public agencies and members of
the public to review and comment on an EIR that has been
prepared" . The draft EIR was distributed to the agencies and
individuals listed on the attached distribution list. Persons
reviewing the draft EIR were given 45 days to submit comments
regarding adequacy to the City. Section 15006, State EIR
Guidelines, states that the basic purposes of CEQA are to:
v -2- 7-18-84 - RCA
1. Inform governmental decision makers and the public about the
potential significant environmental effects of proposed
activities ;
2. Identify ways that environmental damage can be avoided or
significantly reduced;
3. Prevent significant avoidable damage to the environment by
requiring changes in projects through the use of alternatives
or mitigation measures when a governmental agency finds the
changes to be feasible;
4. Disclose to the public the reasons why a governmental agency
approved the project in a manner the agency chose."
In the staff ' s analysis, final EIR 83-3 is adequate to enable the
City Council to accomplish the purposes stated above.
Section 15012 of the State EIR Guidelines states that
"environmental impact report is an informational document which,
when fully prepared in accordance with the CEQA and State EIR
Guidelines, will inform public decision makers and the general
public of the environmental effects of the project they propose to
carry out or approve . . . While CEQA requires that major
consideration by given to preventing environmental damage, it is
recognized that public agencies have obligations to balance other
public objectives including economic and social factors, in
determining how a project should be approved" .
Section 15150 of the State EIR Guidelines states that, "an EIR
should be prepared with a sufficient degree of analysis to provide
decision makers with information which enables them to make a
decision which intelligently takes into account environmental
assessments. An evaluation of environmental effects of a proposed
project need not be exhaustive, for the sufficiency of an EIR is
to be reviewed in the light of what is reasonably feasible.
Disagreement among experts does not make an EIR inadequate. The
courts have looked, not for perfection, but for adequacy,
'completeness and a ood faith effort at full disclosure" .
EIR 83-3 meets the intent or the above sections of the State
EIR guidelines.
It should be noted that the applications for the land use element
amendment and pre-zone change pertaining to Graham Place were
accepted by the Department of Development Services on August 17,
1983. Section 15108 of the EIR Guidelines states, "with a private
project , the lead agency shall complete and certify the final EIR
as provided in Section 15090 within one year after the date when
the lead agency accepted the application as complete" . "Section
15090 states the following, "the lead agency shall certify that:
(a) the final EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA; and
(b) the final EIR was presented to the decision making body of the
lead agency and that the decision making body reviewed and
considered the information contained in the final EIR prior to
.3
-3- 7-18-84 - RCA ��
approving the project" .
Environmental Status:
After completing an initial study, the staff concluded that an EIR
would be required to address the potentially significant effects
of the proposed project prior to processing a general plan
amendment and pre-zone. The scope and depth of information
discussed in the EIR does satisfy the requirement of the
California Environmental Quality Act for entitlements of use.
Certification of .this EIR does not in any way obligate the City
Council to carry out the project or any project alternatives which
are described in the EIR. If in the future new or revised
concepts or information becomes available they will be addressed
environmentally either by modifying the EIR or conducting
additional environmental assessment to a lesser degree. In
conclusion, staff is requesting that the City Council certify that
it has considered the information contained in the final EIR prior
to the Planning Commission taking action on the land use element
amendment and pre-zone.
FUNDING SOURCE :
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION :
As an alternative action, the staff recommends that the City
Council certify the final EIR 83-3 which has been completed in
compliance with CEQA and the State EIR Guidelines. This will
allow the Planning Commission to take action on the General Plan
Amendment and Pre-Zone Change request.

PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS :
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 83-3 (Cont. from April 24 , 1984)
An- analysis of a general plan amendment and prezone request to
redesignate 42 . 4 acres located in the unincorporated Bolsa Chica
area of Orange County at the terminus of Graham Street between the
Orange County Flood Control Channel and a point approximately 1400
feet south of Graham Street from planning reserve to low density
residential, and to prezone the same property low density residen-
tial (R1) .
Commissioner Erskine announced that he will continue to abstain
from discussion and voting on this item.
Howard Zelefsky briefly discussed new information distributed to
the Commission and informed the Commission of letters received from
three state agencies in regard to the EIR. The Department of Fish
and Game maintains its position that the EIR should not be certified
(a position with which City planning staff disagrees) ; the Coastal
Conservancy' s letter indicates that the project is not incompatible
with the planning efforts in the Bolsa Chica; and the County EMA
repeats its past concerns.
Florence Webb updated the Commission on the status of ongoing plans
for the Bolsa Chica and described the recently adopted City Council
resolution outlining the City' s concerns in the areas of circula-
tion, service delivery, land use planning , and ocean access. Tom
Livengood directed that this resolution be circulated to interested
groups in the community.
Ms. Webb pointed out that an EIR is intended only to be a good
faith effort to address environmental information available at the
time it is prepared. In reply to the comments received in regard to
the timing of the proposal , she said that any future information
which may surface as a result of the County' s or the Conservancy ' s Q

plans can be addr.(�ssed in the future , with the possibility of a
new environmental documentation if such plans result in drastic
changes in the existing conditions . Ms. Webb also explained
the one-year deadline for the EIR, which expires August 17 ,
1984 , and emphasized the need for action to be taken in some
manner before that date so that the EIR does not automatically
. -become approved.
The public hearing was reopened.
Lynette Cervantes from Van Dell & Associates explained the
mitigation matrix and the other supplementary information sub-
mitted, adding that these items will be incorporated into the
_final EIR. Chairman Porter directed that the testimony given
at -this meeting also be incorporated as part of the documenta-
tion, by reference or in the file.
Ms. Cervantes discussed the Woodward Clyde report for the area
in regard to liquefaction, subsidence , and surface faulting.
She said the report indicates that liquefaction is likely to
occur in the area south of the subject property; that the sub-
sidence rate for the subject property is only moderate ( . 2"
-`for subject parcel, . 3" for the existing adjacent residential ,
and-l" per year for the oil fields) ; and surface faulting is
not considered a problem on the site which is 1000 feet from
the north branch of the Newport/Inglewood fault.
Ms. Cervantes further informed the .'Planning Commission
that her firm had held meetings with.. tne State agencies to try
to ascertain precisely what they wanted altered in the EIR,
and were given no specif1 mitigations or methodology; the
overriding concern of those agencies was with the timing of the
project. She expressed the opinion that this project would not
preclude any of the planning options for the ,land use plan for
the Bolsa Chica and noted that all of the impacts identified
in the Woodward Clyde report are mitigable.
Darlene Frost, Project Manager for Signal Lan6iark, said she
felt that there is insufficient information in the EIR to make
a determination as to whether the impacts have been adequately
addressed. She questioned the City' s jursidiction over the
project, conceding that the City does have a legitimate planning
interest but the jurisdiction rests with the County and the
Conservancy. Ms. Frost indicated that Fish and Game,'; in a
recent letter to the Fieldstone Company , had said that••. 75 per-
cent of the subject site is considered as wetlands by that
agency. It was her contention that it is too soon in the
planning process to approve the EIR and that any approval would
be open to challenge; she urged to Commission to at least table
- the- document until planning has been completed for the total

Andy Durham, representing the Fieldstone Company , spoke in sup-
port of the EIR, saying that it is consistent with both the Bolsa
Chica. planning efforts and with the resolution adopted by the
Huntington Beach City Council. In response to questioning from
Chairman Porter, Mr. Durham said that his company is prepared to
engageAn additional environmental assessment on the property at
some point in the future during the entitlement stage if necessary.
Rhoda Martyn speaking for the Amigos De Bolsa Chica, said that
their review has found a number of important and substantive con-
cerns still unaddressed: 1) the desilting basin ; 2) a critical
lack-of; information on elevations ; 3) no response has been made
to the comments of the Department of Fish and Game ; and 4) geo-
technical concerns need to be addressed. She concluded by saying
that-it is clear that the EIR does not meet the requirements of
the law and further information must be provided before it is
approved.
Dick Harlow, representing Fieldstone, addressed some of the com-
ments 'submitted. In speaking to the elevations , he noted that the
bulkhead is really dependent on the adoption of one of the plans
for the Bolsa Chica itself - as the area presently exists there is
no need -for any fill to accommodate development on the subject prop-
erty. z.He also expressed the opinion that the EIR is consistent
with the'-County' s and the Conservancy' s plans.
Dean Albrite spoke to protest what he termed the "giving away" of
natural resources such as the Bolsa Chica in the State of Calif-
ornia.
There were no other persons to speak for or against the EIR, and
the public hearing was closed.
Very extensive discussion took place regarding the timing and pro-
cessing of the EIR, the definition and treatment of wetlands , and
the adequacy of the EIR in the areas of elevations , biological re-
sources, geotechnical impacts , the desilting basin, etc.
The Commission considered whether or not it is possible to certify
the environmental document for this small parcel of the Bolsa Chica
when the total planning for the entire area is not completed. Staff
pointed out that the County has already certified an EIR for the
total area, which will go before the Coastal Commission. Secretary
Palin explained that the EIR under review here has been prepared as
a first step in the process of annexation, although no application
for annexation has been received by the City. If the EIR is certi-
fied and the City adopts the requested General Plan amendment and
prezoning, all three items (EIR, amendment, and zoning) would have
to go before the Coastal Commission for certification, as this area
is not a part of the City' s Local Coastal Plan and permitting auth-
ority remains with the Coastal Commission unless and until the area
falls within the City' s boundaries .

In the discussion regarding elevations , Commissioner Livengood
'suggested modifying the EIR language to delete the word "minor"
from the description. Ms. Cervantes indicated that as the
property exists now there are minor alterations , but the testi-
mony presented by the Amigos de Bolsa Chica was made in refer-
ence to the possible tidal influence of a possible future ocean
cut. She indicated that with the introduction of the tidal
barrier there would be a difference, but the distance between
the location of that barrier and the subject property should
provide adequate space to take up those elevations and meet the
existing grades. It was her opinion that merely changing the
wording would not be sufficient to mitigate their concern.
-In the discussion on wetlands , Commissioner Winchell said that
the document assumes the Signal Bolsa definition of wetlands as
. opposed to that of the Department of Fish and Game. By starting
with that assumption, the impacts that might be true using the
expertise of Fish and Game have not been addressed; these im-
pacts should be included in the EIR also, or at least a reference
made that Fish and Game does present a different definition of
wetlands. In this regard, Howard Zelefsky clarified the contents
of the letter from Fish and Game to the Fieldstone Company as
saying regarding wetland acreage, utilizing perhaps 75
percent (or 30 acres) would have to be ensured. On the other
hand, it is not possible to restore 30 acres due to surrounding
development. Accordingly, Fieldstone' s restoration would occur
offsite. " He noted that this information could be incorporated
into the document and distributed to the community. Also in
this regard, Florence Webb quoted the letter from the Coastal
Conservancy (charged with the responsibility of preparing the
Habitat Conservation Plan and acting as "middleman" in the Bolsa
Chica planning process) as stating: "It is highly unlikely that
the HCP and the Fieldstone plans would be incompatible . . only
issues are the acres of wetlands Fieldstone must restore and the
size and nature of. the settlement basin. "

Further discussion ensued concerning the adequacy of the informa-
tion in the EIR, the time constraints imposed by law upon the
processing of the EIR, and the desirability of action being
taken which would enable the City Council to conduct public hear-
ings prior to the August 17 date upon which the EIR would
automatically be considered certified. Legal counsel advised
that a finding of inadequacy with a recommendation to the City
Council for denial would move the public hearing process ahead
for Council consideration.

Applicant: Ascon Properties Inc.
To permit a change of zone from LUD-O (Limited Use District com-
bined with Oil) to LUD-OI-Q (Limited Use District combined with
Oil Production with a "Q" (Qualified) Suffix) for property located
on the southwest corner of Hamilton Avenue and Magnolia Street.
Howard Zelefsky reported that the notification problem has been
corrected and all property owners within 2000 feet of the subject
property have now been notified. Mr. Zelefsky reviewed the pro-
posed conditions of approval for the "Q" Suffix in regard to
limitation of the site area, sound proofing, and access , and called
attention to the recommended change in conditions to require that
drilling not proceed until final site characterization test results
have been reviewed by the Planning Commission at a noticed public
hearing. He informed the Commission that the -01 request is for
an approximately one-acre portion of the site in the southwest cor-
ner of the property; this site is 15 feet below the landfill and is
an area where no prior dumping has occurred.
The Commission duscussed the language of the moratorium and consid-
ered whether or not oil drilling would constitute "removal , " ex-
pressly prohibited by the moratorium on this property.
The public hearing was opened.
John Lindsey, Vice President of Ascon Properties Inc. , addressed

Re: Appeal of Planning Commission Actions
EIR 83-3
GPA 84-1
ZC 83-11
To whom it may concern:
This letter is to appeal the actions taken by
the Planning Commission at its April 3rd meeting
regarding Graham Place, the 42.4 acre parcel located
at the westerly termination of Graham Street. The
Commission found inadequate EIR No. 83-3 and voted
to continue the matter until September 18 , 1984. In
conjunction with that action, our proposed Land Use
Element Amendment 84-1 (Area of Concern 2. 1) and
Zone Change No. 83-11 were likewise continued to
September 18, 1984.
Our appeal is based on the following four issues:
• The Commission did not allow time for a
response from the EIR consultant to address
its specific concerns. The consultant,
Van Dell and Associates, has indicated that
it will be able to bring the EIR to acceptable
standards in a much shorter period of time.
• Our proposal is fully consistent with both
the pending County of Orange Land Use Plan
and State Coastal Conservancy Habitat
Conservation Plan.
City Clerk
April 11, 1984
Page 2
• The EIR evaluated the proposal as a land use
amendment and zone change; the Planning
Commission evaluated the proposal in far more
detail than is required at this time. Specific
implementation issues would normally be ad-
dressed at the tentative tract map and condi-
tional use permit stages.
• The 5�-month continuance does not take into
consideration the possibility that the Bolsa
Chica planning issues may be resolved in a
more timely manner.
We hope to have a public hearing on this appeal at
the earliest possible date. Thank you for your consid-
eration.

Re: Graham Place Project
EIR No. 83-3
Public Hearing, September 4, 1984
Dear Charles :
With regard to the forthcoming City Council hearing on the
proposed Fieldstone Project known as Graham Place, EIR 83-3, Signal
would like to be on record as deeply concerned about the adequacy of
this EIR. We have previously commented at length on our specific
concerns regarding the EIR, but it seems even more timely to reiterate
one overriding concern.
In ligh-t of the very recently adopted Coastal Conservancy' s
Habitat Conservation Plan, it is difficult -to see how the Council
could find the EIR, and therefore the project generally, to have been
adequately evaluated. The HCP would have a significant effect on land
uses proposed for the "Graham Place" lands; accordingly, the EIR must
evaluate the impacts of the proposed project on related planning for
adjacent areas. It is still our concern that the process of
certifying this EIR as adequate would potentially compromise and/or
prejudice the County ' s and, ultimately, the Coastal Commission' s
abilities to develop an appropriate Land Use Plan for the entire Bolsa
Chica area, of which the Graham Place Project is but one small piece.
In conclusion, Signal urges the City Council and staff to find
the Graham Place Project EIR 83-3 to be inadequate in its treatment of
Relevant Planning Programs, and to not certify this EIR at this time.
Respectfully submitted,
SIGNAL LANDMARK, INC.
