The Negative Declaration No. 98-8 has been prepared in compliance with Article 6 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. It was advertised and available for a public comment period of thirty (30) days. Comments received during the comment period were.considered by the Planning Commission prior to action on the Negative Declaration and Zoning Map Amendment No. 98-3,Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 98-3,the Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan and Specific Plan No. 98-1. 2. Mitigation measures incorporated in the environmental assessment avoid or reduce the project's effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment will occur. The recommended mitigation measures include provisions to mitigate the short-term environmental impacts associated with grading, remediation and c6nstruction-related activities on the 150 acre site. The mitigation measures also address the potential long-term environmental impacts associated with existing and proposed land uses, traffic, noise, air quality and public services and facilities. The mitigation measures reduce the potential environmental impacts of the projects to a level of insignificance. 3. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Planning Commission that the project, as mitigated, will have a significant effect on the environment. Updated traffic, air quality acid noise studies were prepared to assess the proposed project to determine whether the project falls within the scope of the analysis of the adopted Program Environmental Impact Report(PEIR) prepared for the City's 1996 General Plan. After analyzing the potential impacts associated with the project, it has been determined that the project, with the recommended mitigation measures, is within the scope of the PEIR and reduces the potential environmental impacts of the projects to a level of insignificance. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL-ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO. 98-3 and SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 98-1: 1. Zoning Map Amendment No. 98-3 amending District Map Nos. 3Z, 4Z and 10Z, and changing the zoning designations on the.150 acre site from High Density Residential with an Oil and Coastal Overlay (RH-O-C), General Commercial with an Oil and Coastal Overlay(CG-O-CZ), General Industrial with an Oil and Coastal Overlay(IG-O-CZ), and General Industrial with an Oil Production and Coastal Overlay (IG-OI-CZ)to SP-12(Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan) and Specific Plan No. 98-1 is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan because it allows for a specific plan designation on the site. The changes proposed would be compatible with uses in the vicinity, which are residential, recreation and open space. r Page 16 —Council/Agency Minutes —02/07/00 2. In the case of general land use provisions, the zoning map amendment and proposed specific plan arc compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, the zoning district for which it is proposed-The changes proposed would be compatible with uses in the vicinity, which are residential, open space and recreation. 3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed. The changes would expand the opportunities for housing and address the needs of a growing population and provide for future visitor serving uses consistent with the City's General Plan and Local Coastal Program. 4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. The Specific Plan provides for compatible land uses, public parks to serve the existing community and adequate infrastructure to serve the development. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL—LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO. 98-3: 1. The Local Coastal Program amendment to the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program to change the Land Use Plan designations from Medium High Residential and Resource Production with a Visitor Serving Overlay to Mixed Use-Horizontal Integration of Housing with a specific plan overlay, is consistent with the 1996 General Plan designations in that they provide for visitor serving uses, including open space and recreational uses, as well as, residential uses. 2. The proposed change to the Local Coastal Program is in accordance with the policies, standards ana provisions of the California Coastal Act that encourage visitor serving uses. The Local Coastal Program Amendment promotes the City's Local Coastal Program goals and objectives by allowing a mix of uses, with residential uses on the inland side and visitor serving uses, including open space and recreational opportunities on the ocean side of the site. The proposed land uses will provide for future visitor serving opportunities on the Aera parcel once the oil production activities have ceased. 3. The development conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. The Conceptual Master Plan and Specific Plan design guidelines encourage focal points and pedestrian areas with the emphasis on ocean oriented views. The Conceptual Master Plan and Specific Plan provides open space and recreational opportunities on the ocean side of the site and a public park site on the inland side of the site. Esplanades and greenbelts provide opportunities for public access through and between the site. No existing coastal access will be impacted.-.

Comments received during the comment period were.considered by the Planning Commission prior to action on the Negative Declaration and Zoning Map Amendment No. 98-3,Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 98-3,the Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan and Specific Plan No. 98-1. 2. Mitigation measures incorporated in the environmental assessment avoid or reduce the project's effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment will occur. The recommended mitigation measures include provisions to mitigate the short-term environmental impacts associated with grading, remediation and construction-related activities on the 150 acre site. The mitigation measures also address the potential long term environmental impacts associated with existing and proposed land uses, traffic, noise, air quality and public services and facilities. The mitigation measures reduce the potential environmental impacts of the projects to a level of insignificance. 3. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Planning Commission that the project, as mitigated, will have a significant effect on the environment. Updated traffic, air quality and noise studies were prepared to assess the proposed project to determine whether the project falls within the scope of the analysis of the adopted Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) prepared for the City's 1996 General Plan. After analyzing the potential impacts associated with the project, it has been determined that the project, with the recommended mitigation measures, is within the scope of the PEIR and reduces the potential environmental impacts of the projects to a level of insignificance. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL- ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO. 98-3 and SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 98-1: 1. Zoning Map Amendment No. 98-3 amending District Map Nos. 3Z, 4Z and 10Z, and changing the zoning designations on the 150 acre site from High Density Residential with an Oil and Coastal Overlay (RH-O-C), General Commercial with an Oil and Coastal Overlay(CG-O-CZ), General Industrial with an Oil and Coastal Overlay(IG-O-CZ), and General Industrial with an Oil Production and Coastal Overlay (IG-OI-CZ)to SP-12 (Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan) and Specific Plan No. 98-1 is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan because it allows for a specific plan designation on the site. The changes proposed would be compatible with uses in the vicinity, which are residential, recreation and open space. Page 16—Council/Agency Minutes — 02/07/00 2. In the case of general land use provisions, the zoning map amendment and proposed specific plan arc compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, the zoning district for which it is proposed. The changes proposed would be compatible with uses in the vicinity, which are residential, open space and recreation. 3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed. The changes would expand the opportunities for housing and address the needs of a growing population and provide for future visitor serving uses consistent with the City's General Plan and Local Coastal Program. 4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. The Specific Plan provides for compatible land uses, public parks to serve the existing community and adequate infrastructure to serve the development. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL—LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO. 98-3: 1. The Local Coastal Program amendment to the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program to change the Land Use Plan designations from Medium High Residential and Resource Production with a Visitor Serving Overlay to Mixed Use-Horizontal Integration of Housing with a specific plan overlay, is consistent with the 1996 General Plan designations in that they provide for visitor serving uses, including open space and recreational uses, as well as, residential uses. 2. The proposed change to the Local Coastal Program is in accordance with the policies, standards ano provisions of the California Coastal Act that encourage visitor serving uses. The Local Coastal Program Amendment promotes the City's Local Coastal Program goals and objectives by allowing a mix of uses, with residential uses on the inland side and visitor serving uses, including open space and recreational opportunities on the ocean side of the site. The proposed land uses will provide for future _. visitor serving opportunities on the Aera parcel once the oil production activities have ceased. 3. The development conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. The Conceptual Master Plan and Specific Plan design guidelines encourage focal points and pedestrian areas with the emphasis on ocean oriented views. The Conceptual Master Plan and Specific Plan provides open space and recreational opportunities on the ocean side of the site and a public park site on the inland side of the site. Esplanades and greenbelts provide opportunities for public access through and between the site. No existing coastal access will be impacted.'. § 1094.5 SPECIAL PROCEEDINGS Part 3 Note 378 itmipled for nett• trial de nm-,.

PROJECT PROPOSAL: Applicant: City of Huntington Beach, 2000 Main Street; Huntington Beach, CA 92648 and PLC Land Company, 23 Corporate Plaza, Ste. 250, Newport Beach, CA 92660 Location: Area bounded by Palm Avenue to the north, Pacific Coast Highway to the south, Goldenwest Street to the east and Seapoint Street to the west, with approximately four acres located on the west side of Seapoint. Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan (CMP) represents a request by the City of Huntington Beach to establish a conceptual development plan for a 150-acre property pursuant to the City of Huntington Beach General Plan Subarea 4B requirements. The objective of the CMP is to integrate the 150-acre project site by establishing land uses and their general locations, landscape design guidelines and architectural design guidelines for future development of both the PLC and Aera properties. The CMP also establishes the trip allocation budget that limits the intensity of development on the site as dictated by the General Plan and requires open space, buffers and setbacks. The development concept for the Conceptual Master Plan is summarized below. :.........................................:.........::::. Seaeliff.Prerr Ma..

A request by the City of Huntington Beach and PLC Land Company to amend the LCP to reflect the proposed Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan introduced below. Specific Plan No. 98-1 represents a request by the City of Huntington Beach and PLC Land Company to establish SP-12 (Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan) for the 150-acre site pursuant to Chapter 215 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (ZSO). The Specific Plan refines the Conceptual Master Plan provisions and provides development regulations for both the PLC and Aera parcels. It functions as the implementing program (zoning) for the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program and the Conceptual Master Plan. The proposed Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan provides for a mix of residential uses of up to 315 detached and attached dwelling units on the PLC portion of PL00-09 -6- January 25, 2000 2:17 PM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: February 7, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PI00-09 the site and visitor serving related uses such as commercial, resort hotel, entertainment, restaurants and civic uses, plus recreational/open space uses on the Aera portion of the site. The overall intensity for both residential and commercial development within the 150- acre site is dictated by the trip generation budget similar to the CMP. The development concept is discussed in more detail below. Aera Property.- The Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan for the Aera property mirrors the development provisions of the Conceptual Master Plan and the 1996 General Plan. Given its prime location and ocean-oriented views, the City's desire is to maximize the visitor serving commercial and recreational opportunities on this site. Therefore, no residential development is recommended. The four-acre site on the west side of Seapoint has been designated for future open space. Because the oil use is expected to continue for the next 15 to 20 years, the Specific Plan is more general in its treatment of standards for this portion of the site, while still establishing the preferred future land uses for the site. The Specific Plan includes a four story, 50 foot height limit and a Floor Area Ratio of 0.5, consistent with General Plan standards. Future office space is limited to a maximum of 15 percent of the square footage built on site and shall not be located on the ground floor. PLC Property: For the 54-acre PLC property, the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan allows single and multi-family residential and open space uses. The development concept provides for four distinct but integrated residential neighborhoods, with a mix of housing types and lot sizes being proposed within a private gated community. PLC is requesting to develop a maximum of 315 dwelling units. ..........I..................... .................... .......:::: ............. Planning Acres Type of Max. No. Min.

Based on the City's park requirements, the maximum number of units allowed by the Specific Plan would require a 5.0 acre park. PLC's actual development plan would require only 4.8 acres of park as it includes slightly fewer single family units. Assuming the maximum dedication requirement, however, leaves an additionall 1.5 acres of park requirement which would be satisfied by PLC with the improvement of the neighborhood park. The 1.5 acres is equivalent to an improvement cost of $774,750. In October 1999, the Community Services Commission reviewed and approved the conceptual design plans for the park. Zoning Map Amendment No. 98-3 represents a request by the City of Huntington Beach and PLC Land Company to amend District Map Nos. 3Z, 4Z and 10Z to change the zoning designations on the 150 acre site from High Density Residential with an Oil and Coastal Overlay (RH-O-C), General Commercial with an Oil and Coastal Overlay (CG-O-CZ), General Industrial with an Oil and Coastal Overlay (IG-O-CZ), and General Industrial with an Oil Production and Coastal Overlay (IG-01-CZ) to SP-12 (Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan) pursuant to Chapter 247 of the ZSO. Negative Declaration No. 98-8 represents a request to analyze environmental impacts associated with the proposed Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan and Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan and includes site specific traffic, noise and air quality studies (ATTACHMENT NO. 9). B. BACKGROUND General Plan Subarea 4B has been in oil production since the 1920s when it was owned by the Huntington Beach Company who leased this site to Standard Oil/Chevron. In 1963, the Huntington Beach Company split the site into two pieces and entered into a long-term lease on what is now the Aera parcel. In 1990, Chevron ceased all oil production on the PLC site. In May 1996, both PLC and Aera acquired their respective interests in Subarea 4B. In May 1998, PLC submitted a Specific Plan for their 54 acres. Pursuant to the 1996 General Plan requirements, staff determined that a Conceptual Master Plan was required for the entire 150-acre site. A series of meetings were held with PLC and Aera to establish a work program for the CMP. Aera indicated that they intended to continue oil production activities for the next 15 to 20 years. The City retained a consultant to prepare the CMP and serve as project planner for the entire planning effort. The Planning Commission formed a subcommittee to provide direction to staff during the preparation of the various planning documents. Prior to formal action by the Commission, staff held three study sessions with the Planning Commission. PL00-09 January 25, 2000 2:17 PM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: February 7, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PI00-09 To ensure adequate citizen participation, staff held three community meetings during the process, in addition to meeting with the Seacliff Homeowner's Association on numerous occasions. The CMP and SP have been revised and the land use plan redesigned to accommodate many of the community's concerns, including limited access from Palm, moving PLC's main entry to Goldenwest, ensuring compatible lots and homes that abut the Seacliff area, providing for a public park site rather than all private open space and ensuring adequate buffers on the Aera parcel. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND RECOMMENDATION: Th\nning Commission held a public hearing on the project on November 9, 1999. Six p 9 p J individuals one of which represented the applicant) spoke on the project. Four of the speakers were members of FANS (Friends and Neighbors of Seacliff); the sixth speaker was president of the Holly Seacliff Homeowners Association and requested that adequate disclosure regarding the Aera operations be made to the future residents of the PLC property. There As o opposition to the project. At the time of the hearing, PLC was requesting that the Aera property not be included in the Specific Plan and disagreed with some of staff's recommendations on the development standards. As discussed in the Analysis section of this report, PLC has since modified its position. Due to the outstanding issues at that time, however, the Planning Commission decided to take straw votes on the various issues. The Planning Commission voted to approve the Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan without residential uses on the Aera property and approve the Local Coastal Program Amendment, the Zoning Map Amendment and the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan that excluded the Aera property as requestedsy PLC and Aera. The Planning Commission concurred with staff on the outstanding development standard issues with the exception of parkway requirements. The Planning Commislign also voted to have the structural setback on the PLC property increased from 30 ttu 50 feet from the common property line between the Aera and PLC property. D. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: The section below reviews outstanding issues pertaining to the project request and proposed refinements to the planning documents. The CMP and Specific Plan are more fully analyzed in the Planning Commission staff report (ATTACHMENT NO. 10). PL00-09 -9- January 25,2000 2:17 PM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: February 7, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PI00-09 Outstandinq Issues As a result of Planning Commission action, discussion at the City Council Study Session held on December 20, 1999 and a meeting with PLC and Coastal Commission staff held on January 20, 2000, there are only three remaining issues for this project: • whether to allow residential uses on the Aera property; • whether the Aera property should be included in, or excluded from, the Specific Plan; • determining the appropriate minimum structural setback from the PLC/Aera common property line on the PLC side; 1) Should Residential Uses be included on the Aera Property within the CMP? Aera is requesting that the CMP be modified to include up to 300 units on their property. Staff envisions the Aera parcel being developed with exclusively visitor serving uses, such as a resort hotel, time-shares, limited retail, civic uses and recreational/open space uses. This position is consistent with the City's long term goals to maximize visitor serving commercial and other non-residential related uses along the ocean. In addition, as other ocean oriented parcels are being developed in Huntington Beach, the availability of land for future visitor serving uses will be more limited 15 to 20 years from now when the Aera site may cease oil production. It is staff's position that allocating residential uses to the PLC portion of Subarea 4B, provides adequate residential opportunities for the 150-acre site without detracting from future visitor serving opportunities on the Aera parcel. As indicated in the City's adopted Local Coastal Program goals and objectives, new residential uses within the Coastal Zone have the lowest priority, while new visitor serving uses, including open space and recreational uses have the highest priority. The City has previously argued before the California Coastal Commission that visitor serving uses should be designated for this site and the Commission agreed. At the meeting with Coastal Commission staff on the 201h, they reemphasized the importance of proposing only visitor serving uses, including open space, on the Aera property. The Planning Commission concurred with staff and recommended to prohibit residential uses on the Aera parcel within the Conceptual Master Plan, and only permit visitor-serving uses, including open space and recreational uses. Staff and Planninq Commission Recommendation. Prohibit residential uses on the Aera parcel within the CMP. PL00-09 -10- January 25, 2000 2:17 PM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: February 7, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PI00-09 2) Should the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan include the Aera property? At the time of the Planning Commission hearing, PLC and Aera requested that the Aera property not be included in the Specific Plan. As a result of the meeting with Coastal ,Commission staff, PLC has modified its position and is not opposed to including the Aera property (see PLC letter dated January 21, 2000, Attachment No. 11). Staff has contacted Aera regarding this development, but has not received a response as to whether Aera's position on this matter has changed. Due to the arguments of PLC and Aera at the Planning Commission hearing on November 9tn however, the Planning Commission voted to exclude the Aera property from the Specific Plan. Thus, staff has forwarded a resolution and Specific Plan that reflects the Planning Commission's recommendation. Coastal Commission staff indicated that if the Aera property is not included in the Specific Plan and the existing zoning of General Industrial is left in place, there is the potential for the area to be de-certified because the zoning would not necessarily be consistent with the General Plan land use designation. This would be an automatic recommendation for denial of the entire Palm/Goldenwest project. The staff also reiterated that other local coastal program amendments have recently been approved to change commercial property to residential on the premise that the City would be submitting a local coastal program amendment for this site to become predominantly visitor serving commercial. Staff believes that it is in the City's best interest to plan both the PLC and Aera properties now. The inclusion of both properties in the Specific Plan at this time establishes the appropriate and desired land uses, rather than waiting until the oil production activities have ceased. Inclusion of the Aera property will achieve consistency between zoning and General Plan land use designations and provide more certainty that future development is consistent with Coastal Act and City policy. The inclusion of the Aera property in the Specific Plan at this time also provides full disclosure to future residents and decision makers of the permitted and preferred uses for the Aera site. Staff Recommendation: Include the Aera property within the Specific Plan and approve the document as presented in Attachment No. 3. 3) What should the structural_setbacks be along the PLC side of the common property line between PLC and Aera? At the time of the Planning Commission hearing, PLC and staff proposed a 30 foot structural setback on the north side of the PLC/Aera common property line. To the south on the Aera property, a 75 foot structural setback was proposed with the 50 feet directly adjacent to the PLC property being landscaped. PL00-09 -11- January 25, 2000 2:17 PM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: February 7, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PI00-09 The Planning Commission thought a greater setback was required for the PLC property and is recommending a structural setback of 50 feet on the PLC side. The Planning Commission thought the setback on the Aera property was adequate. Since the Planning Commission's action, PLC and staff have discussued the feasibility of increasing the setback on the PLC property. PLC is in agreement with increasing the habitable structural setback to 40 feet. They believe that this increase can be accommodated within their development plan and not have a significant negative impact on the size of rear yards on in the interior of the project. Staff believes that the 40 feet provides for adequate separation in combination with the setback on the Aera property and the proposed eight foot high wall that will be constructed along the southern boundary of the PLC development. Staff Recommendation: Require a 40 foot habitable structural setback on the PLC side of the common property line between PLC and Aera, in lieu of a 50 foot setback, as presented in in the Staff version of the Specific Plan in Attachment No. 3. Proposed Refinements As a result of the meeting with Coastal Commission staff, there are two refinements proposed for the CMP and Specific Plan that pertain to the Aera property. One of the proposed permitted uses for that parcel is office. The Coastal Commission staff indicated that some limitation on the amount and location of the office space would be recommended as office uses are not a high priority in the coastal zone. Therefore, staff has modified the two documents to reflect that no more than 15 percent of the development on the Aera property shall be office use and that office uses shall not be located on the ground floor. E. SUMMARY: The City's General Plan requires preparation of a Conceptual Master Plan and Specific Plan(s) to establish a cohesive and integrated plan for the entire 150 acre site designated as Subarea 413. Subarea 413 is one of the largest undeveloped areas remaining in the City today. Its size and location offer unprecedented planning and development opportunities, as well as challenges. Staff believes that the recommended documents comply with City policy and will result in compatible land development. Staff recommends approval of the Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan, Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 98-3, Specific Plan No. 98-1, Zoning Map Amendment No. 98-3 and Negative Declaration No. 98-8 for the following reasons: With the recommended mitigation measures, the project will not be detrimental to the general health, welfare and safety to persons working or living in the area and will not be detrimental to the value of property or improvements in the area. PL00-09 -12- January 25,2000 2:17 PM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: February 7, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PI00-09 The proposed projects are consistent with the goals and polices of the Land Use Element of the General Plan that require the preparation of an integrated Conceptual Master Plan for the entire 150 acre Subarea 4B site and allows for concurrent processing of a Specific Plan. Both the Conceptual Master Plan and Specific Plan will allow development that is compatible with and sensitive to the existing land uses in the area. The proposed projects promote the goals and objectives of the Economic Development Element of the General Plan by reserving area for visitor serving uses that will enhance the long-term economic viability of the City. The proposed projects promote the City's Local Coastal Program goals and objectives by allowing a mix of uses, with residential uses on the inland side and visitor serving uses, including open space and recreational opportunities on the ocean side of the site. The Conceptual Master Plan and Specific Plan will establish design and architectural standards and guidelines for both residential and commercial uses, consistent with the intent of the Urban Design Element of the General Plan and the pending Urban Design Guidelines for the City. The Conceptual Master Plan and Specific Plan development procedures, regulations, standards and specifications are generally consistent with the relevant provisions of the City's Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. Environmental Status: A Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) was prepared and certified for the 1996 City of Huntington Beach General Plan in accordance with Sections 15168 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, as amended. CEQA provides that subsequent projects that fall within the scope of the analysis conducted in a previous PEIR may not require further environmental review, or that environmental review may be reduced to analyze only those potential impacts that were not already considered by the PEIR. The environmental assessment evaluates the proposed "project" (the draft Seacliff Promenade Master Conceptual Plan and draft Specific Plan) vis-A-vis the scope of the General Plan Program Environmental Impact Report. Staff determined that no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposed project that could not be mitigated to a level of insignificance with proper design and engineering. Subsequently, Negative Declaration No. 98-8 was prepared with mitigation measures pursuant to Section 240.04 of the HBZSO and the provisions of the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) with the following supplemental reports: 1) Circulation Analysis, March 8, 1999 2) Noise Study, February 9, 1999 3) Air Quality Study, February 9, 1999 PL00-09 -13- January 25,2000 2:17 PM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: February 7, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PI00-09 The traffic analysis was prepared consistent with the City's Traffic Impact Assessment Preparation Guidelines, July 1993. The traffic study concluded that Subarea 4B intersections are forecast to operate at acceptable levels of service in the existing, interim 2003 and future General Plan buildout conditions with the exception of Palm and Goldenwest in the future buildout condition. This intersection can be mitigated by adding a second eastbound left turn lane within the existing right of way. All arterial segments are forecast to operate at LOS C or better in the existing, interim and future conditions. PCH will warrant six lanes in the future condition (between 2003 and future General Plan buildout). The PLC proposal will warrant signalization at their two major entries. The Noise Study examined the short term and long term noise impacts of existing (including the oil production facilities) and planned noise sensitive areas on and adjacent to the PLC parcel. Mitigation measures were recommended to address the short-term construction related noise impacts and the long-term noise impacts. Constructing an eight high masonry wall along PLC's southern property line and providing air condition systems for certain units will mitigate the noise to a level of insignificance. The Air Quality Study evaluated the potential air quality impacts associated with the proposed project. The study was prepared in accordance with methodologies as specified by the City and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The study concluded that Aera parcel is operating within state and federal mandated standards. The recommended mitigation measures include having certain of the PLC units designed to have windows oriented away from the upwind direction, units within 200 feet of the oil tanks be equipped with air conditioning and maintain monitoring of the Aera operations. The Planning Department advertised draft Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-8 for thirty (30) days commencing on September 16, 1999 and ending on October 18, 1999. Comments were received from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, State Department of Parks and Recreation and City of Huntington Beach Environmental Board and a response to comments and errata sheet have been included with the attached Mitigated Negative Declaration. In addition, the approved fugitive dust mitigation measures from the recently approved remediation permit for the PLC parcel (Coastal Development Permit No. 99-6) have been included. Prior to any action on the ZMA, LCPA, SP and CMP, it is necessary for the City Council to review and act on Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-8. Staff, in its initial study of the project, is recommending that the Mitigated Negative Declaration be approved with findings and mitigation measures.

The Master Plan does not define the precise acreage or all land use locations. Such specificity is left to future specific plans for the site. 3.4.1 Trip Budget The Conceptual Master Plan limits the maximum number of average daily trips that may be generated by ultimate development of the site to 27,139. This is to ensure that impacts to the City's circulation system, as well as, `ambient air quality and noise levels remain within the scope of impacts analyzed in the General Plan Program EIR 94-1 and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-8. Of the total trip budget, the PLC site has been allocated a maximum of 5,230 average daily trips, .and the Aera parcel has been assigned a trip budget not to exceed 21,909 average daily trips. Individual parcels within the site may exchange or trade unused trip allocations, as long as the overall budget for the site is not exceeded, and subject . to City approval. The trip budget allocations, along with the development standards of the Conceptual Master Plan, will determine the land use intensities ultimately permitted within the Conceptual Master Plan Area. 3.4.2 Land Use Concept Within the Conceptual Master Plan land use plan the overall intensity and density of development for the 150 acres are consistent with the General Plan Subarea 4B criteria and the site is designed to conform to the trip budget allocation discussed above. The Conceptual Master Plan designates the 54 acre PLC parcel for exclusively residential development, with a maximum of 500 single family detached homes and multi family units permitted. The Conceptual Master Plan includes a 3.5 acre public park near Lexie Circle and Palm Avenue. The Specific Plan will then refine the land uses, development standards, site layouts and intensities/densities for the residential portion and park site on this parcel. Through the final map process, PLC will dedicate the land to the City for the park and will construct the park improvements concurrent with residential development of their parcel. The 96 acre Aera parcel is planned for a mix of visitor serving commercial, office/high technology, open space and civic uses that include esplanades, greenbelts and pedestrian linkages. Given its prime location and ocean-oriented views, it is the City's desire to maximize the visitor serving commercial and recreational opportunities on this site. Therefore, no residential development is included.

Page 3-2 September 1999 Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan City of Huntington Beach Section 3 3.0 CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN 3.1 OVERVIEW The purpose of the Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan is to ensure that, regardless of phasing, the entirety of Subarea 4B is ultimately developed in a cohesive and consistent manner. This document will establish the framework for reviewing the individual specific plans for both the PLC and Aera parcels. Commercial and residential development standards and design guidelines, including master landscape themes, uniform perimeter treatment and consistency in architectural design are set forth to help achieve this end. 3.2 PHASING It is PLC's intent to develop their 54 acre parcel, consistent with the Conceptual Master Plan, in the near future. Aera has indicated that they will continue the current oil production activities on their.parcel for the next 15.to 20 years. The differing ownership and timeframes for development present a challenge to the City for planning and implementing the Conceptual Master Plan. Given the site's proximity to the ocean and the lack of large vacant or semi-vacant ocean oriented properties elsewhere in Orange County, Subarea 413 will be a prime site for development, regardless of when Aera chooses to discontinue their current oil production activities. Therefore, it is essential that the City plan for the future development of this site as part of the Conceptual Master Plan. Since the Aera Parcel is one of the few remaining undeveloped ocean oriented parcels in the City; it is essential at this time to provide guidelines for future development. The Conceptual Master Plan requires the siting of the common areas, visitor serving areas and civic/open space/recreation areas, with the orientation of commercial buildings around those places to create a sense of place within the 96 acres. 3.3 GENERAL PLAN CRITERIA AND STANDARDS Extensive public participation was solicited for the 1996 General Plan and for the . development of the Conceptual Master Plan. Therefore, unless otherwise amended, the Mixed Use-Horizontal Integration of Housing General Plan designation shall apply. It is the intent of this document to be consistent with the 1996 General Plan policies and criteria listed below.

The Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan has been prepared in accordance with the General. Plan, and adopted by City Council Resolution No. T7;7;;' The requisite specific plan(s) will be prepared under separate cover and will function as the implementation tool to carry out the conceptual theme of this Master Plan. It is intended that all subsequent development plans, tentative tract or parcel maps and any other requests requiring discretionary or ministerial approval by the City for Subarea 4B shall be consistent with the General Plan, Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan, Subarea 4B specific plan and the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) as adopted and/or amended by the City Council. 1.2 PURPOSE AND INTENT Subarea 4B is one of the largest undeveloped areas remaining in the City today. Its size and location offer unprecedented planning and development opportunities, as well as challenges. The purpose of the Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan is to ensure that this unique site is developed as an integrated and compatible, high quality planned community. The primary objectives of the Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan are as follows: • To provide general direction for the future development of Subarea 4B, consistent with the Subarea 4B policies and criteria set forth in the General Plan; • To plan all parcels that comprise this project area in an integrated manner that is compatible with the surrounding area; • To provide conceptual development standards and architectural design guidelines to implement the planning and design concepts set forth in the General Plan; ' • To provide a consistent approach to site planning, building design, signs, graphics, colors, materials, lighting, landscaping, and other design elements; • To reserve areas for future civic/open space uses and visitor serving commercial opportunities that will complement the other commercial projects in the area; • To phase development with the provisions for the necessary infrastructure and public services to support the new development; Page 1-1 September 1999 PALM �AWERUE ' _ I ACACIA IAVENUE PECAN �C F\.�• AVENUE n ./ m RANGE ru� 9<` --------- / / y AVENUE �. • y,� NOT PART —PALM — --- y OLIVE ` •,- AVENUE SUBAREA 4B OF THE GENERAL PLAN L•- PACIFIC •—�.—_--__—_--_ ----'-------'--------------.� COAST HIGHWAY EXHIBIT NO. 1: SUBAREA 4B MAP City of Huntington Beach Ism®� Aso sro Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan City of Huntington Beach Section 1 • To provide for the implementation of the City's Local Coastal Program The Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan designates desired land uses; allocates density and intensity by establishing a maximum allowable trip generation factor for the site; establishes conceptual site design, perimeter treatment, landscaping and public and private improvements, and provides architectural design guidelines for Subarea 4B. A subsequent specific plan(s) for the site shall further define the aforementioned elements, including project specific land use types, densities and locations, on-site circulation, design parameters, etc., consistent with the Conceptual Master Plan. 1.3 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT COMPLIANCE In May 1996, the City of Huntington Beach certified Program Environmental Impact Report No. 94-1 ("PEIR") for the comprehensive update of the City's General Plan. This EIR evaluated development of the Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan Area (Subarea 4B of the General Plan) as Mixed Use-Horizontal Integration of Housing and assessed potential impacts from development. The Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan is consistent with the land use scenario evaluated in PEIR 94-1, and will not create any additional impacts. The PEIR determined that there will be no impacts from the proposed Master Plan development, which cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared as part of the Conceptual Master Plan approval process. The Initial Study will serve as the basis on which the environmental effects of implementing the Conceptual Master Plan can be ascertained. The Initial Study indicated that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEQA compliance tool, and has been prepared as part of the Conceptual Master Plan process. A traffic study, noise study, air quality study, and visual analyses have also been prepared in conjunction with the Conceptual Master Plan to further demonstrate that no significant impacts from implementation of the proposed Conceptual Master Plan are anticipated. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and distributed for public review and . comment. Mitigation Measures included as part of Mitigated Negative Declaration No. °1 98-8 are incorporated by reference and will be included as conditions of approval on all development projects within the Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan Area. All subsequent approvals necessary to develop any property within the Conceptual Master Plan Area must be consistent with the Conceptual Master Plan and be within the scope of PEIR 94-1 and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-8. Additional environmental documentation may be required in the future if significant changes are found to have occurred pursuant to Section 15162 and 15182 of the CEQA Guidelines. Page 1-3 January 2000 Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan City of Huntington Beach P. SECTION TWO PROJECT DESCRIPTION t. Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan City of Huntington Beach Section 2 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 LOCATION/ SURROUNDING LAND USES The Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan area encompasses approximately 150 acres of land bounded by Palm Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Goldenwest and Seapoint Streets, with,approximately four of those acres located on the west side of Seapoint (refer to Exhibit#2). This 150 acre site represents one of the largest (semi-) vacant properties in the City's Coastal Zone. PLC Land Company currently owns the vacant 54 acre parcel fronting on Palm Avenue (referred to as the PLC Parcel) and Aera Energy LLC presently owns the 96 acre parcel in oil production fronting on PCH (referred to as the Aera Parcel). PLC intends to develop its property within the next five years. Aera Energy LLC representatives have indicated that their parcel will remain in oil production for the foreseeable future. Surrounding land uses include Huntington Seacliff(RL-7), Seacliff on the Greens (RM- 15) and the Seacliff Country Club golf course (OS-CR) to the north, the Pacific Bay Ocean Pointe residential development and older residential development (RMH-25-d) to the east, Ocean Colony (RL-7), Surfcrest (RMH-25) and the County area that includes the future Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park to the west and the Bolsa Chica State Beach and Pacific Ocean to the south. 2.2 SITE HISTORY Subarea 4B has been in oil production since the 1920s when it was owned by the Huntington Beach Company who leased this site to Standard Oil/Chevron. In 1963, the Huntington Beach Company split the site into two pieces and entered into a long-term lease on what is now the Aera parcel. This was a result of the increase in off shore oil production due to the emergence of slant drilling technology. During the 60s, 70s and 80s, the leased operator changed many times. In 1990, Chevron ceased all oil production on the PLC site. In May of 1996, both PLC and Aera acquired their respective interests in Subarea 4B and it remains that way as of today. PLC and Chevron have the responsibility to remediate its site through a funding agreement, while Aera will be responsible for remediation of its site. The Phase One remediation efforts began on the PLC site in the mid 1990s. The wellheads were excavated and the soils were stockpiled. The Phase Two efforts to complete the remediation of the PLC site have yet to occur. It is anticipated to be completed by Chevron within four months of final City approvals. 2.3 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION During the 1996 General Plan update, extensive community input was solicited to establish how the site should ultimately develop. The City's adopted General Plan now designates this site as "Subarea 4B, Mixed Use-Horizontal Integration of Housing" (MH- F2/30(AVG. 15)-sp) (refer to Exhibit #3). Ultimately, the General Plan envisions a mix of visitor serving commercial uses, civic uses/open space and residential uses within the Page 2-1 January 2000 � G P �y�� P� c���F car • ►- • 1 B V V. kb 3 PACIFIC C.

While not currently proposed, any vertical integration of mixed use (both residential and commercial in a single structure) would require an amendment to the General Plan and applicable specific plans. The General Plan first requires the preparation of a "Conceptual Master Plan of Development" for Subarea 4B prior to development of the site. The Subarea 4B General Plan criteria and standards are the basis for the "Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan" and subsequent specific plans. 2.4 ZONING/COASTAL DESIGNATIONS The site is currently zoned High Density Residential with an Oil and Coastal Overlay (RH-O-CZ), Neighborhood Commercial with an Oil and Coastal Overlay (CG-O-CZ), General Industrial with an Oil and Coastal Overlay (IG-O-CZ) and General Industrial with an Oil Production and Coastal Overlay (IG-01-CZ) (refer to Exhibit #4). Once a specific plan is adopted for the area, the specific plan requirements will supersede and replace the existing zoning. The Conceptual Master Plan and subsequent specific plans set forth the permitted uses and development standards to ensure the site is planned and designed in a consistent and unified manner and shall conform to all provisions contained in the General Plan and the applicable sections of the HBZSO. Subarea 4B is located within the Coastal Zone of the City of Huntington Beach and is subject to the provisions of the City's Coastal.Element and Implementation Plan (together known as the City's "Local Coastal Program"). The existing local Coastal Program Land Use designation for the PLC parcel is "Medium Density Residential". The Aera parcel is designated as "Industrial-Oil Resource Production", but also includes a visitor serving commercial overlay for the western section of the Aera parcel at Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Seapoint, as well as, the eastern section at PCH and Goldenwest (refer to Exhibit#5). The Conceptual Master Plan encourages residential and visitor serving commercial uses, consistent with both the City's previous 1985 Coastal Element and the pending 1999 1 Coastal Element update. The Conceptual Master Plan calls for development to be designed so as to avoid adverse impacts to the City's beaches and coastal resources. The Master Plan provides for adequate on-site parking within the site, safe and convenient access from the site to the beach, and where appropriate, the preservation and/or enhancement of public view corridors from the site to the ocean and Bolsa Chica. The Conceptual Master Plan, all specific plans and any subsequent amendments will require approval by the Coastal Commission prior to development of the site.

A pedestrian linkage between Palm and PCH, near Cherryhill, is shown in the central portion of the site to complement the proposed open space/civic uses and the public park site off Palm Avenue. The corner of PCH and Goldenwest is designated for visitor serving uses such as specialty retail, restaurants, an entertainment complex, timeshares and/or a resort hotel. The remaining portions of the site are devoted to other commercial uses, including visitor serving retail, office and high technology uses. 3.4.3 Access The Conceptual Master Plan shows the approximate locations of both major and secondary access points to the two parcels. These access points are the result of the traffic study and review by City staff. The major access for the PLC parcel is off Goldenwest at Orange, with a secondary access off Palm Avenue.and Country Club Drive. Both of these accesses would be signalized. The accesses for the Aera parcel will be determined at the time of development. Conceptually, however, it is anticipated that there will be a right-in and right-out access off Goldenwest and Seapoint, with the major access points from PCH. A pedestrian corridor is proposed from PCH to Palm, near Cherryhill, to provide a connection between the Aera parcel and the neighboring residential uses. 3.4.4 Open Space/Recreation All residential development will be required to provide open space on site in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 254, Dedications and Reservations, of the HBZSO. The City shall determine whether the open space shall be public or private, or a combination of both. Greenbelts and buffer areas have been designated between the PLC parcel and Aera parcel to provide an adequate buffer between the proposed residential and future commercial development. An esplanade along PCH is designated that provides pedestrian access and view opportunities of coastal resources the length of the parcel. An open space area has been designated for civic/open space uses between Cherryhill and PCH, including the pedestrian access from Palm and vehicular access from PCH. The exact design and dimensions of these areas will be determined at the time of development. Page 3-5 January 2000 Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan City of Huntington Beach Section 3 3.4.5 Public Facilities The specific plan(s) will identify existing and proposed infrastructure, storm drain, sewer and water facility improvements that will be needed to serve the development. The developer shall be responsible for the installation of all public facilities and improvements concurrent with construction. Improvements shall be subject to review and approval by the City. 3.4.6 Visual Analysis The intent of the visual analyses contained within the Conceptual Master Plan is to provide the staff, decision makers and public with an understanding of what the proposed development of the PLC parcel will look like and what the potential development of the Aera Parcel could be (refer to Exhibit #7). Four viewpoints were selected from the public rights of way to reflect what the motorist, pedestrians and residents in the area may expect in terms of scale and massing for the.PLC and Aera parcels. The four intersections are Palm and Goldenwest and Palm and Cherryhill for the PLC parcel and PCH and Goldenwest and PCH and Seapoint for the Aera parcel. The Aera visuals are merely a representation of what could be developed on the corners of Goldenwest and PCH and Seapoint and PCH based on the adopted General Plan criteria and development standards. It must be noted that the actual buildings, locations and sizes will be dependent on what Aera or their successors choose to process. The City will need to assess the visual impacts in more detail at that time. The PLC visuals attempt to represent what PLC is actually proposing.

These design guidelines are intended to help define a consistent approach to:site planning, architecture, lighting, landscaping and other design elements to achieve visual harmony within Subarea 4B. These Design Guidelines are to be followed by the developer, project designers, and City in the review of Subarea 4B for all residential and non-residential projects. However, these provisions are not precise zoning regulations, but guidelines to implement the City's General Plan goals and Zoning_regulations. They,will provide direction on how best to accommodate site planning, architecture and landscaping for this project. These guidelines are to be considered as qualitative standards of good design to assist City decision-makers in their discretionary judgments to approve or deny projects. These guidelines should therefore.motivate design efforts toward meeting the City's quality standards, either prior to project submission or via design modifications during project review. The intent of these guidelines is to encourage new development projects which: • Utilize a variety of complementary and compatible .architectural styles and site designs; • Provide a consistent approach to site planning, building design, signs, graphics, color, materials, lighting, landscaping, and other design elements. • Ensure a consistent landscaping theme is utilized to create a unified design along the long frontage of PCH, as well as, along Palm, Goldenwest and Seapoint. 4.2 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DESIGN GUIDELINES In reviewing individual projects, the decision-making authority shall tailor the application of the design guidelines in the Conceptual Master Plan to the scale and character of the project. That is, the decision-making authority may grant relief from a policy if it . determines that, due to unusual project characteristics or small scale, no useful purpose would be served by the guideline in terms of advancing the goal and objectives set out in the Conceptual Master Plan and General Plan. The Design Guidelines are intended to augment the other provisions of the HBZSO, specific plans, and other relevant regulations controlling land use or development. In case of conflict or discrepancy between this Conceptual Master Plan and any other regulations, the decision-making authority shall utilize the ordinances in effect at the time. Page 4-2 September 1999 Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan City of Huntington Beach Section 4 4.3 LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES 4.3.1 Landscape Theme The landscape concept for the Conceptual Master Plan is an integral part to the overall character of the community. It includes a combination of landscape and hardscape features adjacent to and visible from PCH, Palm, Goldenwest and Seapoint,that combine to form,a major design element of the community structure. The overall objectives of this section are to visually emphasize prominent design elements and vistas, while screening .undesirable views; provide a harmonious transition between adjacent land uses and between development and open space; and to be varied enough to provide interest and emphasis, but not so obtrusive as to distract the viewer. 4.3.2 Plant Material Palette The proposed plant.materials, including street trees, shrubs, and groundcovers shall be compatible and complementary to existing adjacent streetscapes. Tree species and spacing should be selected to create a unified image for the street and provide an effective continuous tree canopy. (Refer to Appendix for Recommended plant palette). 4.3.3 Perimeter Walls/Buffers A decorative community theme wall along the public streets will provide project identity, privacy and noise control. Masonry or stucco walls or view fences (e.g. glass, Plexiglas or tubular steel) should be used. Designs should incorporate colors, materials, and finishes to blend with the surrounding environment. Where possible, setbacks for walls should vary to add interest to the streetscape. Long . straight stretches of wall should be.avoided. Landscaping should be integrated into the perimeter wall design to soften appearance. Elevalion of Sla99ered W01 , somfon of Planfealwaa q i Bevalion of Wad wth&saiu. Example of soaU apes. Page 4-3 January 2600 - E Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan City of Huntington Beach Section 4 4.4 COMMERCIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES The intent of this section is to encourage the siting of the common areas, civic uses, recreation facilities and visitor serving areas first, then orient specific buildings around these gathering areas creating a true sense of place for visitors to enjoy. Buildings should be sited in such a manner as to encourage walking.from one part of the commercial area to another with as little automobile intrusion as possible. 4.4.1 Commercial Design Theme The ultimate site design for the Aera parcel should attempt to visually emphasize prominent design elements and vistas, while screening undesirable views. The siting of buildings should protect and enhance public view opportunities to the ocean, with restaurant and entertainment uses located where they can take advantage of ocean views, while providing a harmonious transition between adjacent land uses and between development and open space. 4.4.2 Setbacks Increased setbacks and/or design elements that buffer residential units from impacts of the abutting commercial development should be.incorporated in the site design. Site plans should .be designed so that building footprints are articulated- and incorporate variations composed of insets, entries, .corners, and jogs integrated with adjacent outdoor areas in order to create intricate and inviting pedestrian spaces. meo+moda+ ,eaen t O�npOM41�La C01g1q..aongl3MJQ+QO[M .... This type 4archilecturc i.enmunk%ed. 4.4.3 Compatibility With Existing Development Although architectural diversity is encouraged in commercial projects, it is not to be achieved at the expense of harmony with existing development. Thus, though new projects need not imitate the design of surrounding buildings, they nevertheless should be visually compatible with that development. In addition, commercial projects should avoid designs so massive as to overwhelm the scale of surrounding residential development. Page 4-4 January 2000 Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan City of Huntington Beach Section 4 4.4.4 Focal Points The use of focal points in a commercial complex is desirable to provide both orientation and organization. These focal points create a visual counterpoint to the massing of nearby buildings. Examples of important focal elements include courtyards enhanced by fountains, outdoor cafes and other.amenities and the use of towers that create a vivid. visual and mental image for a project, provide identity and differentiation from other projects and become the gathering point for a project. 1 *PLAZA t.rtAn.. .,.rn ATURI a rucvrn arsutmq • w.utaumar rwrtrsormntra as LaX waauC nnwcrvrwm B ours eQ�wm�emwuma t.Gae W2"LI=MCw►ACrmtr At CQ"WX A rooftop makss an exciting outdoor space.

Buildings and pedestrian paths should be sited in such a manner as to encourage walking from one part of the commercial area to another, with as little automobile intrusion as possible. Also, provisions should be made for direct pedestrian links between the project's residential areas.

Outdoor lighting should be coordinated with parking lot and planting plans. Architectural lighting should serve to emphasize building entries and particular building details. 4.4.9 Parking Lots Parking lot design should provide for vehicular and pedestrian access to adjacent parcels, should be designed to avoid large unbroken expanses of paved areas, provide buffers between buildings and the parking areas and screened from the street by landscaping and berming. 4.4.10 Screening of Service Areas Service and storage areas and trash enclosures should be screened from public view by means of walls and landscaping. Loading and storage areas shall be screened from public view by means of solid walls or fences and/or plantings. IA�7r F 7 S► Sold r 7B Wa;landseophy and Diddnpa and rlonV* ❑ �"° .

All signs should be harmonious in scale, form, materials and colors with the project buildings, walls and other structures. Identification signs should be provided for all projects. Such signs shall conform to the sign regulations of the HBZSO pertaining to limitations on size, height, and placement. Page 4-6 January 2000 Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan City of Huntington Beach Section 4 4.4.12 Articulation The apparent mass of buildings should be reduced by means of articulation, i.e., the varying of wall planes in depth and/or direction. This also creates visual interest and human-scale outdoor spaces such as patios and terraces. Large blank single-planed-walls.should be avoided. A combination of one-story to four-story elements should be created within the overall form of commercial buildings in order to provide a variety of scales and reduce the perceived building mass. Any building mass above the second story should be substantially set back and reduced in size. wyiV W" ma,.mpda+ Awl _ x `av 17 �y Nxt. 011010 dWM A16CIJ711.'Q bC�OM MiWq i o.,.pa.aamrau CaWac..mrMaw,uwaaw This tyjw of and+itceture is rnwurugrd.

This can be achieved by the liberal use of windows, arcades, architectural detailing, wall murals, artwork, and similar design features. 4.4.14 Roofs The rooflines on larger buildings with long elevations should be broken up by roof elements of varying height. Tower elements are also used to break up large elevations. Parapet walls can also be used to add variation to the roofline. When,a flat roof is used, a parapet or shed roof that is designed to resemble hipped or t gabled roofs should screen it. home= pd ewe a,dpa�e ---pad m axwap.d 4 a MtiC1••••�,:'a`.�+dllbi0o:Y'••` -'i1W1YVt'1Si1rI+N� Full roofs are encouraged Page 4-7 January 2000 Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan City of Huntington Beach Section 4 4.5 RESIDENTIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES Residential projects within Subarea 4B should be configured to establish a pedestrian friendly environment and a distinct sense of neighborhood and identity by providing increased setbacks and/or design elements that buffer residential units from impacts of abutting commercial development. The overall design should provide a continuous network of sidewalks on both sides of the streets, bike, pedestrian paths and/or other elements to link parts of the community and provide connections to land uses in adjacent areas. 4.5.1 Design and Location of Common Facilities The City places a high value on the provision of usable open space and recreation facilities, both public and private. Such usable open space should be carefully landscaped and flat enough to accommodate both passive and active recreation. Active recreation facilities included within private common areas may consist of swimming pools,.spas, cabanas, tennis or other game courts, tot.lots, free play areas, game rooms, and similar facilities. Common open space and recreation facilities should be located in special places in order to create neighborhood focal points and accessible from all residences via the project's own pedestrian circulation system. 4.5.2 Interior Walls/Fences Walls and fences for individual dwellings that are visible from the street or from a common area should be treated as an integral part of the residential building's architecture. Materials,colors,finish and detailing should draw from the buildings they surround or adjoin. Walls and fences within residential projects should utilize durable masonry or stucco, with finishes and colors consistent with the overall project architecture.In all cases, front yard fence height and placement shall conform to the provisions of the specific plan. 4.5.3 Residential Architecture Residential.structures_should be appropriate in mass and scale to the site on which they are located avoiding building materials, colors and construction elements that z' visually dominate their setting and contrast significantly with the character of the neighborhood. Residential structures should incorporate elements, such as porches, in the design of dwellings to emphasize the front yard as an activity area and "outdoor living room", while still providing open space amenities accessible and of sufficient size to be usable by residents. S2- Page 4-8 January 2000 Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan City of Huntington Beach Section 4 4.5.4 Setback Variation Front yard setbacks should be varied sufficiently to create visual interest, variety and individuality along the street. For those homes facing the street, greater front yard setbacks are encouraged. Exterior mass and form can be arranged to improve the visual impact,of-attached,residential buildings on corner lots. Thus.-buildings on street corners should be either single-story or should have a significant single- story element on the exterior (street) side of the building. Front yard setbacks should be varied to avoid a monotonous pattern of houses and create an interesting street-scene. Side and rear yard setbacks shall be varied to allow for improved useful private open space areas l t J 4.5.5 Mixed-Height Elements By including single-story elements in a two-story building, the apparent building size can be reduced. 4.5.6 Articulation Articulation, the creation of jogs and insets in building walls, adds interest, richness, and intricacy to all buildings. In addition, these changes in plane and height and the use of such design features as porches, bay windows, dormers, and chimneys serve to break up blank walls and avoid the "row-of-boxes"appearance. Therefore, highly articulated residential buildings are strongly encouraged. The rear and sides of homes backing onto major streets are highly visible from off site and should be treated in a similar manner to the'front elevation. This is particularly true of second story conditions visible above a solid fence line. •mil ...� i Page 4-9 January 2000 Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan City of Huntington Beach Section 4 4.5.7 Building Materials and Colors The materials and colors should be compatible with and contribute to the overall quality of the community. The community should have a variety of roof colors and trim colors in order to avoid•a monotonous monolithic appearance when a residential area is viewed from a distance. 4.5.8 Roof Forms Roofs are highly visible in any residential project. Viewed from the street, roofs are as.powerful as front elevations in determining the visual quality of the streetscape. A harmonious diversity of roof forms can add variety and interest to a residential street, while roof uniformity can create monotony and lack of street identity. Therefore, roof forms should be varied along each street. One method of doing this is to create different hip and gable-end roof treatments for the same floor plan in production attached residential projects. Visual interest can be further achieved by varying the rooftop ridges so that some-are perpendicular and some are parallel to the street. ee ® 1=Q Hip Gable Ripped Gable 4.5.9 Garages and Carports Garages should be located and designed so that they do not dominate the street scene. Units should be designed and plotted so that the living portion of the house becomes the focal point, rather than the garage. Front building and garage z, setbacks should be varied. It is important to avoid the appearance of an unbroken line of garage doors with dwelling units attached as an afterthought. Recess garage doors deeply into the front wall in order to create strong shadow lines and visual relief. REAR PLACEMENT SIDE IN GARAGE Of GARAGE GARAGE OMET AA Page 4-10 January 2000 .

The 54 acre parcel at the corner of Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street is owned by PLC Land Company. The PLC parcel is currently vacant and is being considered for development within the next two years. The other parcel fronting along Pacific Coast Highway, between Goldenwest Street and Seapoint is 96 acres and owned by Aera Energy LLC. The Aera property is currently in oil production and according to Aera Energy LLC, the property will remain in oil production for the 15 to 20 years. The first section of the Specific Plan, Chapters 1-4, relates to the PLC parcel. The second section, Chapters 6-9, relates to the Aera parcel. The Administration chapter and the Appendices apply to both the PLC and Aera properties. 0 PALM /GOLDENWEST SPECIFIC PLAN SECTION ONE PLC PROPERTY PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 1 SPECIFIC PLAN INTRODUCTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROJECT AREA BACKGROUND The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan is located in northwestern Huntington Beach, an area that has historically been one of California's largest oil fields. Over the past ten years many of the marginally producing oil areas have been replaced with other uses. To the north of the site is the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan area, a former oil producing area that has been replaced with residential, recreation and commercial uses. Surrounding land uses include the existing Seacliff residential community and Seacliff County Club and Surfcrest Condominiums to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the south. Southeast of Goldenwest Street are single family and multi-family residential uses which are part of an area previously known as the Townlot area. A Conceptual Master Plan ("CMP") of development has been prepared in conjunction with this Specific Plan as required by the Huntington Beach General Plan. This CMP and the General Plan were shaped by the citizen participation.efforts that were_utilized in their formation, and provide the basis,for the requirements.of Subarea 4B. The CMP includes the Specific Plan Area, approximately 54 acres.owned-by PLC, and the approximate 96- acre oil production facility site to the southwest owned by Aera, and provides the basis for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan. The CMP describes proposed development for the PLC site, as well as future development potential for the Aera site once oil production ceases and sets the framework for individual specific plans to be implemented. 1.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area encompasses the 150 acre site bounded by Palm Avenue to the north, Pacific Coast Highway to the south, Goldenwest Street to the east and Seapoint Street, with approximately four acres located on the west side of Seapoint(see Exhibit 1.2-1, Vicinity Map, Exhibit 1.2-2, Location Map, and Exhibit 1.2- 3, Aerial Photograph). The site is a former Chevron, USA, oilfield. Oil production is no longer a use on the 54 acre PLC property,but is on-going on the 96 acre Aera property. The project area is located in the Coastal Zone boundary, as defined by the California Coastal Commission. The Huntington Beach General Plan currently designates the 150-acre site for Mixed Use- Horizontal Integration of Housing (MH), with a Specific Plan Overlay. The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area is designated as Subarea 4B on the Huntington Beach General Plan Table LU-4,which describes the Permitted Uses, Density/Intensity, and HB! !-1 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 1 SPECIFIC PLAN INTRODUCTION Design and Development Standards and Principles. A copy of Table LU-4 for Subarea 4B is included as Exhibit 1.2-4 for reference. The existing Local Coastal Program Land Use designation for the PLC property is Medium Density Residential and the Aera property is designated as Industrial-Oil Resource Production,but includes a visitor-serving commercial overlay for the western section of the Aera property at Pacific Coast Highway and Seapoint, as well as the eastern section at Pacific Coast Highway and Goldenwest Street. There are currently four zoning designations on-site: RH-O-CZ (High Density Residential with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays), CG-O-CZ (General Commercial with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays), IG-O 1-CZ (General Industrial with Oil Production and Coastal Zone Overlays), and IG- O-CZ (General Industrial with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays). 1.3 PURPOSE AND INTENT The purpose of this Specific Plan is to establish zoning and standards for the development of the 150 acre site consistent with the City's General Plan, the Local Coastal Program, the Conceptual Master Plan(CMP), and;compatible.with surrounding land uses. The Specific Plan provides consistency with the,goals,,policies and criteria of the City's General Plan, including policies related to-land use,urban design, economic development, circulation,public facilities, especially those related to Subarea 4B provisions. The intent of the Specific Plan is to guide and coordinate the future design and development of the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area. It provides a comprehensive description of land use, circulation, infrastructure, site development standards, and implementation programs for the preparation of detailed development proposals for City review and approval. The Specific Plan serves as the implementing actions program(zoning) for the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program and the Conceptual Master Plan. It will.act as the implementing actions program for the 54-acre site owned by PLC and the 96 acres owned by Aera Energy. This Specific Plan permits the development of a residential community with up to.three hundred and fifteen(315) dwelling units proposed in a mixture of single family detached homes and multi-family units on the PLC parcel and future visitor serving uses on the Aera parcel.

'City of Huntington Beach General Plan,May 13, 1996,pp.II-LU-52 and II-LU-53. HBI 1-6 January 2000 Palm And Golden west Chapter Z: .Introduction 1.4 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT COMPLIANCE In May, 1996,the City of Huntington Beach certified Environmental Impact Report No. 94-1 ("EIR") for the comprehensive update of the City's General Plan. This EIR evaluated development of the Specific Plan Area as Mixed Use-Horizontal Integration of Housing and any potential impacts from development. The Specific Plan is within the parameters of development evaluated in EIR No. 94-1, and will not create any additional environmental impacts. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared as part of the Specific Plan approval process. The Initial Study will serve as the basis on which the environmental effects of implementing the Specific Plan can be ascertained. The Initial Study indicated that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEQA compliance tool, and has been prepared as part of this Specific Plan process. A traffic study, noise study, air quality study, and visual analysis have also been prepared in conjunction with the CMP and this Specific Plan to further demonstrate that there are no significant impacts from the proposed Specific Plan and development. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and distributed for public review and comment. Mitigation Measures included as part of Mitigated Negative Declaration#98-8 have been incorporated in Chapter 6,Appendix B and will be included as conditions of approval on all development projects within the Specific Plan Area. All subsequent approvals necessary to develop any property within the Specific Plan Area must be consistent with the Specific Plan and be within the scope of the EIR and Mitigated Negative Declaration. Additional environmental documentation may be required in the future if significant changes are found to have occurred pursuant to Section 15162 and 15182 of the CEQA guidelines. 1.5 AUTHORITY AND SCOPE The authority to prepare,adopt,and implement specific plans is granted to the City of Huntington Beach by the California Government Code(Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457). The Specific Plan will be the device for implementing the Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program on this property. The Plan will contain all applicable land use regulations and will thus constitute the zoning for the Palm and Goldenwest property. The Development Standards contained in this Specific Plan will take precedence over all other provisions of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, unless other wise noted. As with General Plans,the Planning Commission must hold a public hearing before it can recommend adoption of a Specific Plan. The City Council shall adopt this specific plan by resolution. HBIPC 1-7 January 20M PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 2 SPECIFIC PLAN DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT 2 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT 2.1 CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT The Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan(CMP) for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area is illustrated on Exhibit 2.1-1. The intent of the Conceptual Master Plan is to establish general planning concepts for the entire site to be refined through the preparation of a Specific Plan. The General Plan for Subarea.4B specifically allows for phased Specific Plans in order to permit the near-term development of PLC's property and development of Aera's property at a later point in time as oil operations are phased out. The CMP Land Use Plan illustrates that the Aera property will remain in oil production for the foreseeable future (approximately 10-15 years). The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan proposes a variety of residential uses on the 54-acre PLC property and future visitor serving uses on the 96 acre Aera property. The land use plan for the PLC property is more fully described in this first section of the Specific Plan and Section Two of the Specific Plan details the land uses proposed for the Aera property. 2.2 LAND USE PLAN/DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Land Use Plan for the PLC parcel contains three residential density land uses categories. All uses proposed in the Land Use Plan are . consistent with the General Plan and the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B, and will not deviate from any established General Plan policies and criteria. The 54 acre PLC site is planned for a maximum of 315 dwelling units. Within the PLC parcel,the Specific Plan designates Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, and Medium High Density Residential areas with a combination of detached and attached single- and multi-family dwellings. The development concept for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan is to provide for distinct residential-neighborhoods in a well-designed private gated community. Perimeter themed landscaping will complement the adjacent Holly Seacliff project. A 3.5-acre neighborhood public park is also provided in Planning Area 4. The Land Use Plan for the PLC property is shown on Exhibit 2.2-1, and is described below in Sections 2.2.1 through 2.2.4.

Those tract map developments shall be consistent with all policies and standards contained herein, and with the General Plan and Subarea 4B Conceptual Master Plan. Density may be transferred either internally or from one Planning Area to another, provided that the maximum number of dwelling units established by this Specific Plan is not exceeded. All requests for transfer of density shall be in accordance with procedures set forth in Section 5.2 of this Specific Plan. 2.2.1 Planning Area 1 Planning Area 1, located at the intersection of Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street, is approximately 18.2 acres, and allows for up to 65 dwelling units. The area is designated for Low Density Residential development,which permits single-family detached homes at densities not to exceed seven(7) dwelling units per net acre. The minimum lot size in Planning Area 1 shall be 6,000 square feet. Pedestrian corridors are provided along Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street, and along the southern boundary of the Planning Area bordering Planning Area 3. 2.2.2 Planning Area 2 Planning Area 2, located west of Planning Area 1 south of Palm Avenue, is approximately 14.3 acres, and allows for a maximum of 65 dwelling units. The area is designated for Low Density Residential uses, which permits residential development at a density up to seven(7) dwelling units per acre. The minimum lot size in Planning Area 2 shall be 5,000 square feet. Pedestrian corridors are provided along Palm Avenue and the southeastern boundary, adjacent to the Aera facilities. An enhanced landscaped corridor is provided adjacent to the Aera facilities to buffer the site from adjoining oil operations. 2.2.3 Planning Area 3 Planning Area 3 is located south of Planning Areas 1 and 2 along Goldenwest Street, and is 11.4 acres and allows for a maximum of 70 dwelling units. The area is designated for Medium Density Residential development,which permits single- family detached or attached homes at densities not to exceed fifteen(15) dwelling units an acre. Permitted development includes single family detached homes on individual lots with a minimum of 3,600 square feet, or attached townhouses pursuant to a condominium plan. Pedestrian corridors are provided along Goldenwest Street and the boundary with Planning Area 1. A 40 foot habitable structural setback is HB2 2-4 Jamoy 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 2: Development Concept provided for those lots which are adjacent to the oil operations to the south within this Planning Area. 2.2.4 Planning Area 4 Planning Area 4, located west of Planning Area 2 along Palm Avenue, is 10.1 acres, and allows for up to 115 dwelling units. The area is designated for Medium High Density Residential development,which permits single family detached homes on individual lots with a minimum lot size of 3,000 square feet, attached townhouses pursuant to a condominium plan, or apartments pursuant to a conditional use permit at densities not to exceed twenty-five (25) dwelling units an acre. A pedestrian corridor is provided along Palm Avenue. Within Planning Area 4 is a 3.5-acre neighborhood public park which will be dedicated to the City of Huntington Beach. The location of the neighborhood public park is depicted on Exhibit 2.2-1 and a description of the park can be found in Section 2.4.1 of this Chapter. 2.3 CIRCULATION PLAN The Conceptual Master Plan limits the maximum number of average daily trips that may be generated by ultimate development of the Specific Plan Area to 27,139. This is to ensure that impacts to the City's circulation system, as well as, ambient air quality and noise levels remain within the scope of impacts analyzed in the General Plan Program EIR 94-1 and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-8. Of the total trip budget,the PLC site has been allocated a maximum of 5,230 average daily trips, and the Aera parcel has been assigned a trip budget not to exceed 21,909 average daily trips. Individual parcels within the site may exchange or trade unused trip allocations, as long as the overall budget for the site is not exceeded, and subject to City approval. The trip budget allocations, along with the development standards of the Conceptual Master Plan, will ,j determine the land use intensities ultimately permitted within the Specific Plan Area. The Circulation Plan,Exhibit 2.3-1, illustrates the general alignments and street classifications in and adjacent to the PLC property. Two arterial streets lay adjacent to the site, Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street. Palm Avenue, a Primary Arterial, generally bounds the site to the northeast. Goldenwest Street,a Major Arterial, bounds the site on the southeast. All vehicular access to the PLC Parcel will be from Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street. The Specific Plan proposes two points of access to the PLC Parcel. No direct residential driveway access will be permitted from either Palm Avenue or Goldenwest Street. All interior streets will be private and maintained by a homeowners association. xB2 2-5 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 2: Development Concept Primary access to the PLC Parcel will be taken from Goldenwest Street opposite Orange Avenue. A secondary entry is located on Palm Avenue opposite the entrance to the Seacliff Country Club. Each of the entries will be gated and will include enhanced landscaping and paving, and project monument signage. Within the PLC property, all interior streets serving single family detached neighborhoods will provide a 52-foot right-of-way consisting of a 40 foot paved way, with six-foot sidewalks on both sides of the street with detached parkways provided along the main entry road only and detached parkways elsewhere in the project at the option of the developer. All streets within multi-family areas will include minimum paved street sections of 24 feet in accordance with City of Huntington Beach specifications for multi-family neighborhoods. These typical street sections are shown on Exhibit 2.3-2.

Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 2: Development Concept 2.4.3 Perimeter and Buffer Landscaping and Pedestrian Walkways Landscaped setback areas will be provided along the arterial highways, Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street, that form the north and east perimeter of the Specific Plan Area. Within the PLC portion of the Specific Plan Area, pedestrian walkways with detached sidewalks and parkways including street trees will be provided along the main entry road only and detached parkways elsewhere in the project at the option of the developer. Walkways will be linked to perimeter sidewalks along Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street at each project entry, and will also'link to a meandering walkway located in the enhanced landscape area along the south side of Planning Area 2 adjoining the Aera Energy property. A master homeowners association or sub-association will maintain all pedestrian walkways within the interior of the PLC property. The City of Huntington Beach will maintain all sidewalks on the perimeter of the Specific Plan Area. 1. Palm Avenue Along the south side of Palm Avenue within Planning Areas 1 and 2, an existing six foot high block wall was constructed and landscaping installed in the late 1960's to screen oilfield uses. The setback of the existing wall varies between three and twenty feet from the existing sidewalk and right of way of Palm Avenue. Within Planning Area 4, west of the entry to Seacliff Country Club, an eight-foot high concrete panel wall exists atop a four-foot high berm. Additional planter walls and landscaping have been installed within the area between the wall and sidewalk, which varies in width from eight to eighteen feet. The proposed development plan has been designed to retain the existing pedestrian walkway,perimeter wall and landscaping within Planning Areas 1 and 2. Portions of the existing improvements will be removed at +, the location of the new secondary project entry opposite Seacliff Country Club, which will also include new entry landscaping and monument signs. Directly opposite Ofelia Lane, a portion of the existing wall is proposed to be removed and replaced with a six-foot high view fence adjoining an interior landscaped open space lot. A master homeowners association will maintain all perimeter walls and landscaping. A typical section showing the perimeter wall and landscaping within Planning Areas 1 and 2 is shown in Exhibit 2.4-3. Within Planning Area 4, adjacent to the proposed neighborhood park,the existing wall will be removed to provide visual access to the park. HB2 2-11 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 2: Development Concept Adjacent to the.multifamily development,the existing wall may be retained or replaced with either a new wall or tubular steel fence, similar to other multifamily perimeter fencing established along Palm Avenue. If a new solid wall is constructed, it will be set back fifteen feet from the right of way of Palm Avenue. If a tubular steel fence is used, it may be located within the fifteen foot landscaped setback with a minimum setback of five feet from right-of-way. In either condition, a minimum of fifteen feet will be landscaped and maintained by a master homeowners association. A typical section showing the perimeter wall and landscaping within Planning Area 4 is shown in Exhibit 2.4-3. 2. Goldenwest Street Along,Goldenwest Street, a twenty-five foot wide landscape setback will be provided within Planning Areas 1 and 3. The perimeter wall will be an eight-foot high solid masonry wall. At the primary project entry opposite Orange Avenue,the wall will be angled back to allow additional entry landscaping and project monument signage. A master homeowners association will maintain all perimeter walls and landscaping. A typical section showing the.perimeter wall and landscaping along Goldenwest Street within Planning Areas 1 and 3 is shown in Exhibit 2.4-4. 3. Aera Energy Edge Because of the planned long-term oil production activity on the adjacent Aera Energy site,the Specific Plan provides for additional buffer landscaping along the southerly edge of the Specific Plan within Planning Areas 2, 3 and 4. Within Planning Area 2, a landscaped common area lot has been provided for the entire length of the street between Planning Areas 3 and 4. This landscaped area varies from 25 to 45 feet in width, and will incorporate trees, shrubs and turf in addition to a meandering pedestrian walkway. A typical section showing the buffer landscape area is shown in Exhibit 2.4- 5. Within all Planning Areas, a 40 foot habitable structural setback will be provided along the common property line between the PLC property and the Aera Energy property. A typical section showing the additional buffer setback is shown in Exhibit 2.4-5.

The grading concept for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan is intended to: • Be responsive to the existing land forms; • Minimize the length of time and physical impacts of the grading operations; • Stabilize manufactured slopes; and • Avoid any unnecessary import/export of earthwork to minimize impacts of the grading operation on surrounding residential communities. Soil remediation, over-excavation, stockpiling and normal grading operations and procedures will occur within each of the individual development areas. All oil well abandonments and excavation and remediation of contaminated soils will be performed in accordance.with standards and plans approved by the Huntington Beach Fire Department. Clean up will involve abandonment of wells and removal of well cellars, excavation and removal of highly concentrated crude oil contaminated soils, screening of less contaminated soils, blending in onsite fills, and removal and/or relocation of pipelines.

This Master Storm Drain Plan is a concept plan only. The final design of all drainage facilities will be in conformance with drainage design criteria established by the City of Huntington Beach. The developers shall provide hydraulic calculations to determine if off-site facilities are adequate to accommodate increased flow from the project. Existing storm drainage facilities are maintained by the City of Huntington Beach, Public Works Department. New drainage facilities constructed within the Specific Plan Area will be maintained either by the City or privately maintained by a homeowners association. Any drainage facilities designed or sized to accommodate upstream drainage will be designated as public facilities and maintained by the City. The area will drain via proposed underground conduits into two drainage areas. The first area generally consists of flows collected from Planning Areas 1, 2, and 4. Interior streets will carry storm run-off into catch basins which will connect via a series of new storm drain lines to the existing 48-inch Seacliff IV Storm Drain located in Palm Avenue and the existing 18-inch storm drain in Cherryhill Lane. The second drainage area generally consists of flows leaving the area through the south corner of the site (Planning Area 3). Flows from this area will be transported off-site via a new extended storm drain line to the ocean and/or could intercept the existing 48-inch Goldenwest Storm Drain located in Goldenwest Street. HB2 2-18 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 2: Development Concept 2.6.2 Sewer Facilities The Proposed Sewer Plan for the Specific Plan Area is shown on Exhibit 2.6-2. Existing public 12-inch and 21-inch lines pass through the site from Palm Avenue and Ofelia Lane to Goldenwest Street and Orange Avenue. East of Goldenwest Street,the 21-inch line is maintained by the City of Huntington Beach. If feasible,the existing 12-inch and 21-inch lines shall be consolidated into the 21- inch line. All Specific Plan Area sewage will be transported via gravity flow to connect with the existing 21-inch line near Orange Avenue. The existing sewer facilities in the Specific Plan Area will be maintained by the City of Huntington Beach, Public Works Department. All new on-site sewer lines will have a minimum diameter of 8 inches and will be privately maintained by a master homeowners association or sub-association. Any sewers designed or sized to accommodate upstream flows will be designated as public and maintained by the City. 2.6.3 Water Facilities The Proposed Domestic Water Plan is shown in concept on Exhibit 2.6-3. All water facilities for the Specific Plan Area will be provided to the site by the City of Huntington Beach. Connections will be made to the existing 12-inch line located in Palm Avenue at Lexie Circle and Seacliff Country Club Drive. Connections are also proposed to be made to the existing 12-inch line stubbed into the site at Goldenwest Street and Orange Avenue, and to the 24-inch line in Goldenwest Street. Final line sizing will be based on a water pressure analysis. The minimum diameter of on-site water lines will be 8 inches.

HB3 3-10 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 4 SPECIFIC PLAN COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES 4 COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area is designed as a safe, livable residential and recreation-based community. These guidelines are intended to set a direction for distinctive, high-quality residential developments. These guidelines give specific direction as to styles and themes of development, yet are general enough to allow the individual developer and/or builder flexibility to interpret changes in consumer tastes and market conditions. Although individual interpretation and character are encouraged, builders and designers should review the following design guidelines and standards to examine the relationship that their particular site has to the entire community, and to incorporate all applicable provisions of these guidelines into their projects. More specifically,the purpose of these Community Design Guidelines is: • To provide community design criteria for use by builders,planners, architects, landscape architects, civil engineers and other project area builders/developers; • To provide specific design criteria that encourages development of a desirable living environment that will help to maintain and enhance the community's value over time. • To create a"classic seaside community" character as an overall theme in the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area; and • To allow each Planning Area to establish its own individual identity, yet blend with the overall community theme. This chapter of the Specific Plan is divided into the following sections: ❑ Community Design Concept, Section 4.1; ❑ Site Planning Guidelines, Section 4.2; ❑ Landscape Architecture Guidelines, Section 4.3; and ❑ Architectural Guidelines, Section 4.4. It is the purpose of the Community Design Guidelines to ensure that the theme is implemented in a clear, concise and aesthetically consistent manner. Care and consideration have been given in developing these Community Design Guidelines to ensure the creation and enhancement of a new aesthetically pleasing community with an emphasis on outdoor lifestyle and recreational opportunities in the City of Huntington Beach. HB4 J-! January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 46- Community Design Guidelines 4.1 COMMUNITY DESIGN CONCEPT A central theme has been devised to ensure that this carefully considered plan is implemented in a manner that will bring the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area a sense of its own character and ambiance. It is further intended that this theme be expressed in coordination with the project setting, which serves as a basis around which key elements of the community can be developed. The Specific Plan establishes the project site with a seaside community theme, the intent of which is to create an environment that responds to the increasing demand for well planned residential communities oriented to the active,recreation-rich Southern California lifestyle. This community theme establishes a harmonious blend of traditional architectural styles, landscape concepts, entry monumentation, and walls and fences, which are designed to integrate with the site's proximity to the beach. This will allow the community to develop its own sense of identity, while reflecting the seaside design of surrounding neighborhoods in Huntington Beach. 4.2 SITE PLANNING GUIDELINES The Site Planning Guidelines of the Specific Plan are intended to promote a community that will have a clear identity and sense of place, and that will meet the needs of residents by providing a harmonious and pleasing environment for all uses and activities. These guidelines will provide direction to planners, architects and landscape architects for key design components of the Palm and Goldenwest community. The guidelines are formulated to provide quantitative criteria on appropriate aspects of physical development, as well as qualitative guidance on aspects of how buildings, landscaping, hardscape and signage may positively affect the land, residents and visitors. 4.2.1 General Guidelines The following site planning guidelines are applicable for every Planning Area within the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area and should be applied wherever feasible throughout the community. Generally, the plan will contain ' residential and open space land uses which follow the guidelines set forth below.' 1. Residential streets should be designed to direct traffic to the arterial and/or collector street system as safely as possible. 2. Design solutions for residential street layouts should consider land form, grades, and circulation hierarchy, and employ appropriate street configurations. HBa 4-2 Jimary 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter.4: Community Design Guidelines 3. Entries to residential developments should be visually reinforced through techniques such as landscape treatments, monument signage and/or pavement details. 4. Encourage projects adjacent to the Aera property to be integrated and blended using treatments such as undulating edges,varied rear yard setbacks, and landscape treatments to buffer the industrial site from the residential edge. 4.2.2 Residential Guidelines The following site planning guidelines apply generally to all residential development within the PLC property. Lot configurations should conform to the Development Standards and Guidelines set forth in Chapter 3 of this Specific Plan. • Curvilinear streets should be utilized whenever possible for visual interest and to modulate building massing in individual neighborhoods. Residential streets should be designed to promote interaction and pedestrian movement. • Varying lot widths and configuration, and cul-de-sacs and corners should be utilized where feasible to promote a varied residential character. • Homes should be arranged whenever possible in a staggered and variable setback fashion to provide visual interest and avoid repetitive appearance and facades and yards. Each structure or composite of units should have a varied facade material or color than the immediately adjacent structure/composite,to replicate a diverse single-family style neighborhood and promote individuality. • The architectural design character should be consistently implemented in structural features and details including signs and lighting. :t . Single-family attached products should be architecturally articulated. Varied driveway locations are encouraged to break up repetitive curb cuts and yard patterns. • Combinations of one and two story building elements are encouraged to create yard variation and visual interest. • Safe and convenient circulation connections should be provided between housing areas and open space areas. HB4 4-3 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4: Community Design Guidelines • Common area fencing, walls, gates and other security features should be designed to facilitate access to the pedestrian areas and open space. • Rear or side elevations of residential units should be enhanced where visible from public open spaces and public streets. 4.2.3 Open Space Guidelines The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan will provide public and private open space areas as described in Chapter 2. These areas should incorporate the. following site planning guidelines. • Open space,parks and recreation areas should be located in highly visible locations. • Open space areas within the community should be linked by a network system of pedestrian walkways. • Open space areas should be visible from streets for safety and surveillance purposes. • Open space areas should be appropriately landscaped. • Plant materials should be used to define activity/use areas, and to frame and reinforce views. 4.3 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE GUIDELINES Landscaping plays an important role in establishing the visual identity and character of the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area as a beachside residential community. Consistency in theme and the application of major community-level design elements such as entries, arterial street parkways, walls and fences,interface/edge conditions, and plant materials must be maintained throughout the Planning Areas of the Specific Plan Area to communicate and strengthen this identity. The Community Landscape Plan for the PLC property is shown in Exhibit 4.3-1. Implementation of the following guidelines will ensure a recognizable and cohesive community image while allowing individual expression of landscape treatment at the Planning Area or project level.

The following design principles are embodied in this concept: • Community and project entries classically designed using natural materials and colors, with a similar vocabulary of materials, shapes and forms; • Consistent street tree themes should be related to the hierarchy of the street system; • Unified community theme wall and fence design, and the extensive use of trees,vines and shrubs to soften these features; • Recommended plant palettes for specific applications (i.e., entries, streetscapes, paseo/buffers, etc.) and the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area community as a whole; • Recognition of existing natural conditions and situations; • Use of both "formal" and "informal" planting arrangements, depending upon the particular condition; • Use of both evergreen and deciduous plant material; and, • "Layering" of the shrub understory to create depth,variety and interest. 4.3.2 Entry Treatments 1. Primary Project Entry The Primary Project Entry, shown in Exhibit 4.3-2, is located off of Goldenwest Street opposite Orange Avenue and will be a security-gated +' entrance with a guardhouse. The entry is designed with entry project monumentation, enhanced paving, formally spaced project theme trees, and groupings of accent trees and annual color. 2. Secondary Project Entry The Secondary Project Entry, shown in Exhibit 4.3-3, is located off of Palm Avenue opposite Seacliff Country Club Drive.

This hierarchy of streets and entries has been developed to: • Provide an attractive edge to implement the City's Urban Design Element and complement existing neighborhoods surrounding the project area; • Provide thematic continuity throughout the Specific Plan Area through the use of repetitive materials and themes; and • Complement a variety of architectural styles and themes. 1. Palm Avenue Palm Avenue forms the northern project boundary, and has been landscaped as part of previous development projects. From Goldenwest Street to Seacliff Country Club Drive, the existing landscaping is planned to be retained and enhanced. West of Seacliff Country Club Drive, existing landscaping may be retained unless the grading plan for the multi- family site changes significantly. Adjacent to the proposed neighborhood park, existing landscaping and walls are to be removed to open views into the park. This streetscape is shown in Exhibit 4.3-1 and detailed in Exhibit 2.4-3. 2. Goldenwest Street Goldenwest Street forms the eastern edge of the project and is designated a Landscape Corridor in the Urban Design Element of the Huntington Beach General Plan. A 25-foot wide landscape setback is designed for the entire length of the subject property, and will be planted with a repetition of palm trees with groupings of deciduous canopy trees. This scheme is shown in the Community Landscape Plan, Exhibit 4.3-1, and detailed in Exhibit 2.4-4. The Primary Entry Road off of Goldenwest Street will be a formal promenade of marching project theme trees spaced with groupings of accent trees leading to the guardhouse. The roadway is designed with a 20-foot landscape parkway lining both sides of the drive,with a low planted median of shrubs and annual color from Goldenwest Street to the guardhouse. This streetscape scheme is shown in Exhibit 2.4-4. HBa 4-9 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4: Community Design Guidelines 4.3.4 Landscape Buffers and Interfaces In order to-create a well-planned established seaside community, a series of landscape buffers have been designed for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan. These buffers will provide orderly transitions between the various land uses. The Landscape Buffers/Interfaces are described in Section 2.4, Open Space, identified on the Community Landscape Plan, Exhibit 4.3-1, and briefly described below. 1. Arterial Edges • Palm Avenue Palm Avenue is designed to retain or enhance the existing landscape buffers along the entire length of the property. From Goldenwest Street to Seacliff Country Club Drive, existing groupings of accent trees screen a 6-foot perimeter wall as measured from the top of the exterior sidewalk elevation. West of Seacliff Country Club Drive, existing walls will be removed to provide views into the neighborhood park. Adjacent to the multi-family site,the existing wall may be retained or may be replaced with a six(6) foot wall or view fence. • Goldenwest Street Goldenwest Street,bordering the site to the east, is designed to continue the existing streetscape north of the subject property. It will have a 25-foot landscape buffer the entire length of the subject property, and will have an 8-foot perimeter wall as measured from the top of the exterior sidewalk elevation. 2. Aera Energy Edge The Aera property edge is designed as a paseo/buffer area with a variable 25-foot setback with a meandering sidewalk and heavy landscaping. A minimum eight-foot high screen wall and minimum 20 foot landscape buffer area will be provided along the southern project boundary to screen the residential development from impacts of ongoing oil operations. Properties adjacent to the Aera property edge have an additional structural setback requirement. This paseo/buffer area is depicted in Exhibit 2.4-5 and the structural setbacks on Table 3.3.A. HBa 4-10 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4: Community Design Guidelines 4.3.5 Community Theme Walls and Fences The design concept for the community walls and fencing at Palm and Goldenwest is shown in Exhibit 4.3-4, and is summarized below. Community walls and fencing consist of elements which are readily visible from arterial and collector streets or from adjacent or nearby areas outside of the Planning Areas. Generally, community theme walls should be consistent in scale, materials, and type. Some variation in design details, such as color, finish, caps and pilasters may be employed at entries to express a certain individuality. Fences and walls include any type of fence,retaining wall, sound attenuation wall or screen. Fences and walls shall be in compliance with the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Section 230.88. For the purposes of this section, exterior side means that fence wall facing away from the property and toward adjoining properties, streets and interior side means that fence wall facing inwards toward the property. 1. General Guidelines • All community theme walls and fences shall be consistent in design. • Any fence/wall adjoining a public street or any fence/wall visible from the side or rear shall be the community theme wall. • View fencing should have a low masonry wall with cap and pool code height tubular fencing, or glass for sound attenuation if required. Alternatively,view fencing of full height tubular steel may be used, and pilasters incorporated into steel fencing. • Vines and/or shrubs should be planted along community walls to soften the visual character. An extensive use of vines is encouraged. • The maximum wall or fence height shall be six(6) feet within any required rear, or side setback area, or eight(8) feet along the project perimeter. Fence/walls heights are measured from the base of the fence/wall to the top of the interior or exterior side, whichever is greater,except in no case should the maximum height of the wall exceed ten(10) feet(in combination with a retaining wall). Wall heights along the perimeter shall be measured from the top of the exterior sidewalk.

The intent is to allow the Planning Areas to establish individual identities, yet blend strongly with overall community themes. It is further the intent of these guidelines to ensure consistency with the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B and the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. These guidelines should be addressed during final project review unless it is demonstrated that certain guidelines are not applicable, appropriate, or feasible under the circumstances. The goal of this component of the Architectural Guidelines is to promote product quality and community diversity by encouraging builders to explore and expand their range of architectural styles. The guidelines in this section seek to continue the legacy of diversity within the City of Huntington Beach without sacrificing quality control over design details. 4.4.1 Architectural Character I An assemblage of architectural styles consistent with an "established seaside community" theme is intended to aid designers in developing a classic architectural image compatible with the surrounding residential communities. 4.4.2 Residential Architectural Design Guidelines The purpose of this section is to provide specific architectural design guidelines for product development. Criteria are provided to ensure the use of recurring design elements which will reinforce the visual and spatial expression of the community and its themes. It will concurrently allow for individual design solutions appropriate to each planning area. 1. Height and Building Mass Height shall be determined by the residential development standards of this document. However,the underlying theme of the massing should be to maintain a human scale and low profile. Proper design considerations for building mass and form will create a visually attractive community that is sensitive to the surrounding environment. HBa 4-18 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4: Community Design Guidelines 2. Building Materials and Colors Building materials and colors shall complement the natural, climatic, and built environment of the Palm and Goldenwest community. Whenever possible, materials should be durable and require minimal maintenance. 3. Architectural Projections Balconies, porches and overhangs are desirable elements of a building that provide architectural interest and protection against the sun and inclement weather. Balconies are encouraged for inclusion in medium and high density residential areas since they provide residents with necessary outdoor areas and spaces. Balconies, porches and overhangs add visually to structures by breaking up wall masses, offsetting floors, and creating a' sense of human scale. 4. Facade Treatments By varying the spacing, sizes, shapes and locations of door and window openings in building facades, structures may be made more visually interesting and attractive. However, care must be taken to avoid too much variety or the end result will be a chaotic, cluttered, building facade. i HBa 4-19 January 2000 PALM /GOLDENWEST SPECIFIC PLAN SECTION TWO AERA PROPERTY PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 5 SPECIFIC PLAN: AERA PARCEL INTRODUCTION 5 INTRODUCTION 5.1 PROJECT AREA/EXISTING CONDITIONS The 96 acre Aera parcel is bounded by Pacific Coast Highway, Goldenwest Street, Seapoint and the PLC parcel as shown on Figure 2-1-1. The site is currently used for oil production and owned by Aera Energy LLC. According to Area Energy, the site will remain in oil production for the next 15 to 20 years. The project area is located in the Coastal Zone boundary, as defined by the California Coastal Commission. The Huntington Beach General Plan currently designates the Aera parcel for Mixed Use- Horizontal Integration of Housing(MH), with a Specific Plan Overlay. The Aera parcel is designated as Subarea 4B on the Huntington Beach General Plan Table LU-4, which describes the Permitted Uses, Density/Intensity, and Design and Development Standards and Principles. The existing Local Coastal Program Land Use designation for the site is Resource Production with visitor serving overlays at both the northerly and southerly ends of the site. There are currently two zoning designations on-site: RH-O-CZ (High Density Residential with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays) and IG-OI-CZ (General Industrial with Oil Production and Coastal Zone Overlays). The legal description is included in the appendix of the Specific Plan. 5.2 PURPOSE AND INTENT The purpose of this portion of the Specific Plan is to establish zoning and standards for visitor serving uses, including open space and recreational uses on the 96 acre Aera parcel consistent with the City's General Plan, the Local Coastal Program, the Conceptual Master Plan (CMP), and compatible with surrounding land uses. This portion of the Specific Plan provides consistency with the goals, policies and criteria of the City's General Plan, including policies related to land use, urban design, economic development, circulation, public facilities, especially those related to Subarea 4B provisions. HBS 5-1 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 6 SPECIFIC PLAN: AERA PROPERTY INTRODUCTION The intent of this portion of the Specific Plan is to guide and coordinate the future design_ and development of the Aera parcel. It provides a description of land use, circulation, infrastructure, site development standards, and implementation programs for the preparation of detailed development proposals for City review and approval. The Specific Plan serves as the implementing actions program (zoning) for the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program and the Conceptual Master Plan. Aera has indicated that they will continue the current oil production activities on their parcel for the next 15 to 20 years. This Specific Plan permits the oil production use to continue and the future development of a mix of visitor serving commercial, office/high technology, open space and civic uses that include esplanades, greenbelts and pedestrian linkages. Given its prime location and ocean-oriented views, it is the City's desire to maximize the visitor serving commercial and recreational opportunities on the Aera site. Therefore, no residential development is included. Any change of use from the current oil production activities will require review and approval by the City through the tentative map/conditional use permit/coastal development process. 5.3 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT COMPLIANCE In May, 1996, the City of Huntington Beach certified Environmental Impact Report No. 94-1 ("EIR") for the comprehensive update of the City's General Plan. This EIR evaluated development of the Specific Plan Area as Mixed Use -Horizontal Integration of Housing and any potential impacts from development. The Specific Plan, the proposed PLC project and the Aera site are within the parameters of development evaluated in EIR No. 94-1, and will not create any additional environmental impacts. The EIR determined that there will be no impacts from the proposed residential development which cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared as part of the Specific Plan approval process. The Initial Study will serve as the basis on which the environmental effects of implementing the Specific Plan can be ' ascertained. The Initial Study indicated that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEQA compliance tool, and has been prepared as part of this.Specific Plan process. A traffic study, noise study, air quality study, and visual analysis have also been prepared in conjunction with the CMP and this Specific Plan to further demonstrate that there are no significant impacts from the proposed Specific Plan and development. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and distributed for public review and comment. Mitigation Measures included as part of Mitigated Negative Declaration 998-8 have been HB5 5-2 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 6 SPECIFIC PLAN;AERA PROPERTY INTRODUCTION incorporated in Appendix B and will be included as conditions of approval on all development projects within the Specific Plan Area. All subsequent approvals necessary to develop any property within the Specific Plan Area must be consistent with the Specific Plan and be within the scope of the EIR and Mitigated Negative Declaration. Additional environmental documentation may be required in the future if significant changes are found to have occurred pursuant to Section 15162 and 15182 of the CEQA guidelines. G FIBS 5-3 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 6 SPECIFIC PLAN: AERA PARCEL DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT 6 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT 6.1 CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT The Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan(CMP) for the Palm and Goldenwest. Specific Plan Area is illustrated on Exhibit 2.1-1. The intent of the Conceptual Master Plan is to establish general planning concepts for the entire site to be refined through the preparation of a Specific Plan. The General Plan for Subarea 4B specifically allows for phased Specific Plans in order to permit the near-term development of PLC's property and development of Aera's property at a later point in time as oil operations are phased out. 6.2 LAND USE PLAN/DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT All uses proposed in the Land Use Plan are consistent with the General Plan and the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B. The CMP Land Use Plan illustrates that the Aera property will remain in oil production for the foreseeable future (approximately 10-15 years). Within this portion of the Specific Plan, the Aera parcel proposes a mix of visitor serving commercial, office/high technology, open space and civic uses. The corner of PCH and Goldenwest is designated for visitor serving uses such as specialty retail, restaurants, an entertainment complex, timeshares and/or a resort hotel. The remaining portions of the site are devoted to other visitor serving uses, including retail, office and high technology uses, but still permitting continued oil production activities on the 96 acre Aera parcel. 6.3 CIRCULATION PLAN Four arterial streets lay adjacent to the site, Pacific Coast Highway, Seapoint, Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street. Conceptually, for the Aera Parcel, it is anticipated that there will be a right-in and right-out access off Goldenwest and Seapoint, with the major access points from PCH. A pedestrian corridor is proposed from PCH to Palm, near Cherryhill, to provide a connection between the Aera parcel and the neighboring residential uses. The exact locations of the accesses for the Aera parcel will be determined when the site is proposed for development. HB6 6-1 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 6 SPECIFIC PLAN: AERA PARCEL DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT The Conceptual Master Plan limits the maximum number of average daily trips that may be generated by ultimate development of the site to 27,139. This is to ensure that impacts to the City's circulation system, as well as, ambient air quality and noise levels remain within the scope of impacts analyzed in the General Plan Program EIR 94-1 and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-8. Of the total trip budget, the PLC site has been allocated a maximum of 5,230 average daily trips, and the Aera parcel has been assigned a trip budget not to exceed 21,909 average daily trips. Individual parcels within the site may exchange or trade unused trip allocations, as long as the overall budget for the site is not exceeded, and subject to City approval. The trip budget allocations, along with the development standards of the Conceptual Master Plan, will determine the land use intensities ultimately permitted within the Aera parcel. 6.4 OPEN SPACE Within the Aera Parcel, the four acre site on the northwest side of Seapoint has been designated for future open space uses to complement the existing open space designations adjacent to this site. In addition, a pedestrian linkage between Palm and PCH, near Cherryhill, is shown in the central portion of the Aera site to complement the proposed open space/civic uses and the public park site off Palm Avenue. Greenbelts and buffer areas have been designated between the PLC parcel and Aera parcel to provide an adequate buffer between the proposed residential and future commercial development. An esplanade along PCH is designated that provides pedestrian access and view opportunities of coastal resources the length of the parcel. When the Aera parcel is developed, the property owner/developer will be responsible to fulfill the required open space obligation in effect at the time. On the Aera side, the buffer shall include a minimum setback of 75 feet from the PLC property line for structures, as well as, a minimum of a 50 foot landscaped area within the required 75 foot setback. No parking or vehicle access (other than for emergency access) shall be permitted within that 50 foot landscaped area. 6.5 GRADING CONCEPT The Aera parcel will require grading operations for soil remediation and to construct streets, infrastructure, pads and other site improvements to create properly drained development areas. The grading concept for the Aera parcel is intended to: • Be responsive to the existing land forms; • Minimize the length of time and physical impacts of the grading operations; • Stabilize manufactured slopes; and HB6 6-2 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 6 SPECIFIC PLAN: AERA PARCEL DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT • Avoid any unnecessary import/export of earthwork to minimize impacts of the grading operation on surrounding residential communities. Soil remediation, over-excavation, stockpiling and normal grading operations and procedures will occur within the site. All oil well abandonments and excavation and remediation of contaminated soils will be performed in accordance with standards and plans approved by the Huntington Beach Fire Department. Clean up will involve abandonment of wells and removal of well cellars, excavation and removal of highly concentrated crude oil contaminated soils, screening of less contaminated soils, blending in onsite fills, and removal and/or relocation of pipelines. All soil remediation and grading within the Aera parcel will require a grading permit and will be governed by soils, foundation and other geotechnical reports prepared by registered professional civil and geotechnical engineers, building codes, established engineering practices and City ordinances. Preliminary grade elevations and details will be provided at the Tentative Tract Map process. Grading shall be consistent with City policies and incorporate safe grading techniques to provide for proper engineering practices and ensure proper site drainage. All soil remediation and grading plans shall be subject to review and approval by the City to incorporate appropriate conditions of approval and mitigation measures. 6.6 PROJECT INFRASTRUCTURE The infrastructure for the Aera parcel will be analyzed when a change of use is considered. Developers shall be responsible for the construction or funding of public facilities improvements within their project and/or off-site facilities necessary to serve the development, including but not limited to storm drains, sewer facilities, water facilities and other required services. Developers shall forward copies of all tentative tract maps submitted for City approval to the utility providers to coordinate service requirements. HB6 6-3 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 7 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 7 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 7.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT The purpose of this section is to provide the specific development standards and regulations that will be applied to all new development permitted within the Aera parcel. Section One of the Specific Plan provides standards for the PLC portion of the site. These regulations are intended to provide criteria for use by builders, developers, planners, engineers, architects, landscape architects and other professionals in order to maintain quality design of the project area. It is the intent of these Development Standards to be consistent with the General Plan and the Conceptual Master Plan. 7.2 GENERAL PROVISIONS All development activity within the Aera parcel will be subject to the following general conditions and requirements, as noted. The Aera parcel is entirely within the California Coastal Zone and all development projects shall require approval of a Coastal Development Permit in accordance with the regulations contained in Chapter 221 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance(HBZSO), as may be amended from time to time. 7.3 APPLICABILITY The Development Standards shall be applicable to all property within the Area parcel. Any change of use from the current oil production activities will require review and approval by the City through the tentative map/conditional use.permit/coastal development process. This review process will allow the City and the community to work with the developer of the site to determine the appropriate land uses, site layouts, accesses, development standards and intensities best suited for the Aera parcel at that time. Where there is a conflict between the provisions of the Specific Plan and the HBZSO, the Specific Plan shall apply. Where the Specific Plan is silent, the provisions of the HBZSO shall apply. HB7 7-1 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 7.4 PRINCIPAL PERMITTED USES The following are permitted uses within the Aera Parcel: • Continued oil production activities consistent with the existing operations. • Visitor serving commercial uses as permitted by the HBZSO, except as follows: ■ automotive service and repair related uses shall be prohibited. ■ drive-through windows in conjunction with restaurants shall be prohibited. • Resort Hotel • Office: not to exceed 15% of the total square footage allocation for the property based on ADTs and shall not be located on the ground floor • Timeshares • Recreational facilities, public and private • Open Space, public and private • Civic Uses including museums, libraries, community centers, amphitheaters, schools, civic center, City Hall facilities and/or other public facilities. • Other uses determined to be similar in nature, or as other wise approved through a specific plan amendment. 7.5 MAXIMUM DENSITY The maximum density shall not exceed a FAR of 0.5:1 and an overall intensity that does result in a change to the City's adopted traffic level of service and roadway capacity standards. 7.6 NL4XIIVIUM HEIGHT The maximum height shall not exceed four(4) stories and 50 feet in height as measured in accordance with the HBZSO.

All landscaping shall be consistent with the Plant Palette for this Specific Plan Area and those included in the Conceptual Master Plan. 7.8 WALLS AND FENCES Walls and fences shall be constructed in accordance with Section 230.88 of the HBZSO. Design of all walls and fences shall be consistent with the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B. A conceptual plan showing the proposed location, height, design, and materials of all proposed walls and fences shall be submitted for review and approval by the Planning Department concurrent with any development or tentative map application. 7.9 SIGNS AND OUTDOOR LIGHTING All signs and outdoor lighting shall be in accordance with Chapters 232 and 233 respectively, of the HBZSO. Signs and Outdoor Lighting shall be consistent with the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B.. 7.10 MINIMUM BUFFER AREA/BUILDING SEPARATION BETWEEN THE PLC PARCEL AND THE AERA PARCEL On the Aera side, a minimum setback of a 75 foot structural from the PLC property line for structures shall be provided. Within that 75 feet, 50 feet closest to the PLC property line shall be landscaped and shall not permit parking or motor vehicle access(except for emergency vehicles) to encroach into that 50 foot landscaped area. The precise design of the setback area should be determined through the tentative map/conditional use/coastal development permit process and developed in accordance with the recommended mitigation measures set forth in the Appendix HB7 7-3 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN: AERA PARCEL COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES 8 COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES These guidelines give specific direction as to styles and themes of development, yet are general enough to allow the individual developer and/or builder flexibility to interpret changes in consumer tastes and market conditions. Although individual interpretation and character are encouraged, builders and designers should review the following design guidelines and standards to examine the relationship which their particular site has to the entire community, and to incorporate all applicable provisions of these guidelines into their projects. It is the purpose of the Community Design Guidelines to ensure that the theme is implemented in a clear, concise and aesthetically consistent manner. Care and consideration have been given in developing these Community Design Guidelines to ensure the creation and enhancement of a new aesthetically pleasing community with an emphasis on outdoor lifestyle and recreational opportunities in the City of Huntington Beach. More specifically, the purpose of these Community Design Guidelines is: To provide community design criteria for use by builders, planners, architects, landscape architects, civil engineers and other project area builders/developers; To provide specific design criteria that encourages development of a desirable living environment that will help to maintain and enhance the community's value over time; To create a "classic seaside community" character as an overall theme in the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area. 8.1 COMMUNITY DESIGN CONCEPT A central theme has been devised to ensure that this carefully considered plan is implemented in a manner that will bring the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area a sense of its own character and ambiance. It is further intended that this theme be expressed in coordination with the project setting, which serves as a basis around which key elements of the community can be developed. HB8 8-1 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES 8.2 SITE PLANNING,GUIDELINES The Site Planning Guidelines for the Aera parcel are intended to promote a community that will have a clear identity and sense of place, and that will meet the needs of residents and visitors by providing a harmonious and pleasing environment for all uses and activities. These guidelines will provide direction to planners, architects and landscape architects for key design components of the Palm and Goldenwest community. The guidelines are formulated to provide quantitative criteria on appropriate aspects of physical development, as well as qualitative guidance on aspects of how buildings, landscaping, hardscape and signage may positively affect the land, residents and visitors. 8.3 OPEN SPACE GUIDELINES The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan will provide public and private open space areas should incorporate the following site planning guidelines. • Open space, parks and recreation areas should be located in highly visible locations. • Open space areas within the community should be linked by a network system of pedestrian walkways. • Open space areas should be visible from streets for safety and surveillance purposes. • Open space areas should be appropriately landscaped. • Plant materials should be used to define activity/use areas, and to frame and reinforce views. 8.4 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE GUIDELINES Landscaping plays an important role in establishing the visual identity and character of the Aera parcel as a beach side visitor serving area. Consistency in theme and the application of major community-level design elements such as entries, arterial street parkways, walls and fences, interface/edge conditions, and plant materials must be maintained throughout the Aera parcel to communicate and strengthen this identity. The landscaping themes should be consistent with the Conceptual Master Plan landscape design guidelines and should include: • Community and project entries classically designed using natural materials and colors, with a similar vocabulary of materials, shapes and forms; •- Consistent street tree themes should be related to the hierarchy of the street system; HB8 8-2 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES • Unified community theme wall and fence design, and the extensive use of trees, vines and shrubs to soften these features; • Recommended plant palettes for specific applications (i.e., entries, streetscapes, paseo/buffers, etc.) and the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area community as a whole; • Recognition of existing natural conditions and situations; • Use of both "formal" and "informal" planting arrangements, depending upon the particular condition; • Use of both evergreen and deciduous plant material; • "Layering" of the shrub understory to create depth, variety and interest. • Provide an attractive edge to implement the City's Urban Design Element and complement existing neighborhoods surrounding the project area; • Provide thematic continuity throughout the Aera parcel through the use of repetitive materials and themes; and • Complement a variety of architectural styles and themes. 8.5 COMMUNITY 'THEME WALLS AND FENCES Community walls and fencing consist of elements which are readily visible from arterial and collector streets or from adjacent or nearby areas outside of the Planning Areas. Generally, community theme walls should be consistent in scale, materials, and type. Some variation in design details, such as color, finish, caps and pilasters may be employed at entries to express a certain individuality, however: • All community theme walls and fences shall be consistent in design. • Any fence/wall adjoining a public street or any fence/wall visible from the side or rear shall be the community theme wall. • View fencing should have a low masonry wall with cap and pool code height tubular fencing, or glass for sound attenuation if required. Alternatively, view fencing of full height tubular steel may be used, and pilasters incorporated into steel fencing. HB8 8-3 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES 0 Vines and/or shrubs should be planted along community walls to soften the visual character. An extensive use of vines is encouraged. • Pedestrian sidewalks and enhanced perimeter landscaping will be provided along the entire length of Goldenwest Street. This edge will be a continuation of the enhanced landscape and wall materials and design along Palm Avenue. • Fences and walls shall be in compliance with the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Section 230.88 8.6 ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES Implementation of a consistent architectural design program. The intent is to allow the Planning Areas to establish individual identities, yet blend strongly with overall community themes. It is further the intent of these guidelines to ensure consistency with the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B and the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. These guidelines should be addressed during final project review unless it is demonstrated that certain guidelines are not applicable, appropriate, or feasible under the circumstances. The goal of this component of the Architectural Guidelines is to promote product quality and community diversity by encouraging builders to explore and expand their range of architectural styles. The guidelines in this section seek to continue the legacy of diversity within the City of Huntington Beach without sacrificing quality control over design details. An assemblage of architectural styles consistent with an "established seaside community" theme is intended to aid designers in developing a classic architectural image compatible with the surrounding residential communities. 8.7 COMMERCIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES The intent of this section is to encourage the siting of the common areas, civic uses, recreation facilities and visitor serving areas first,then orient specific buildings around these gathering areas creating a true sense of place for visitors to enjoy. Buildings should be sited in such a manner as to encourage walking from one part of the commercial area to another with as little automobile intrusion as possible. 1. Commercial Design Theme The ultimate site design for the Aera parcel should attempt to visually emphasize prominent design elements and vistas, while screening undesirable views. The siting of buildings should protect and enhance public view opportunities to the ocean, with restaurant and entertainment HB8 8-4 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES uses located where they can take advantage of ocean views, while providing a harmonious transition between adjacent land uses and between development and open space. 2. Setbacks Increased setbacks and/or design elements that buffer residential units. from impacts of the abutting commercial development should be incorporated in the site design. Site plans should be designed so that building footprints are articulated and incorporate variations composed of insets, entries, corners, and jogs integrated with adjacent outdoor areas in order to create intricate and inviting pedestrian spaces. 3. Compatibility With Existing Development Although architectural diversity is encouraged in commercial projects, it is not to be achieved at the expense of harmony with existing development. Thus, though new projects need not imitate the design of surrounding buildings, they nevertheless should be visually compatible with that development. In addition, commercial projects should avoid designs so massive as to overwhelm the scale of surrounding residential development. 4. Focal Points The use of focal points in a commercial complex is desirable to provide both orientation and organization. These focal points create a visual counterpoint to the massing of nearby buildings. Examples of important focal elements include courtyards enhanced by fountains, outdoor cafes and other amenities and the use of towers that create a vivid visual and mental image for a project, provide identity and differentiation from other projects and become the gathering point for a project. 5. Public Art Provisions shall be incorporated in the Specific Plan to require public art be provided in public spaces, especially to assist in defining focal points and open area. FIBS 8-5 January 2000 y PALM AND GOL DEN WEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES 6. Pedestrian and Open Space Linkages Open space areas with footpaths should be designed throughout the project area to provide linkages to the major recreation activities and encourage pedestrian activity. Buildings and pedestrian paths should be sited in such a manner as to encourage walking from one part of the commercial area to another, with as little automobile intrusion as possible. Also, provisions should be made for direct pedestrian links between the project's residential areas. 7. Bicycle Access Bicycle usage shall be encouraged by the provision of bikeway accesses and bike racks at convenient locations near building entries. 8. Lighting Parking lot and outdoor lighting should be the minimum needed to accommodate safety and security, while minimizing the impacts on the surrounding residential areas. Outdoor lighting should be coordinated with parking lot and planting plans. Architectural lighting should serve to emphasize building entries and particular building details. 9. Parking Lots Parking lot design should provide for vehicular and pedestrian access to adjacent parcels, should be designed to avoid large unbroken expanses of paved areas, provide buffers between buildings and the parking areas and screened from the street by landscaping and berming. 10. Screening of Service Areas Service and storage areas and trash enclosures should be screened from public view by means of walls and landscaping. Loading and storage areas shall be screened from public view by means of solid walls or fences and/or plantings. 11. Signs A sign program should identify commercial centers. All signs should be harmonious in scale, form, materials and colors with the project buildings, i walls and other structures. Identification signs should be provided for all HB8 8-6 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES projects. Such signs shall conform to the sign regulations of the HBZSO pertaining to limitations on size, height, and placement. 12. Articulation The apparent mass of buildings should be reduced by means of articulation, i.e., the varying of wall planes in depth and/or direction. This also creates visual interest and human-scale outdoor spaces such as patios and terraces. Large blank single-planed walls should be avoided. A combination of one-story to four-story elements should be created within the overall form of commercial buildings in order to provide a variety of scales and reduce the perceived building mass. Any building mass above the second story should be substantially set back and reduced in size. 13. Ground Floor Interest Commercial and office buildings should be designed so that the ground floor presents an interesting and varied appearance to pedestrians and motorists. This can be achieved by the liberal use of windows, arcades, architectural detailing, wall murals, artwork, and similar design features. 14. Roofs The rooflines on larger buildings with long elevations should be broken up by roof elements of varying height. Tower elements are also used to break up large elevations. Parapet walls can also be used to add variation to the roofline. When a flat roof is used, a parapet or shed roof that is designed to resemble hipped or gabled roofs should screen it.

Over the past ten years many of the marginally producing oil areas have been replaced with other uses. To the north of the site is the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan area, a former oil producing area that has been replaced with residential, recreation and commercial uses. Surrounding land uses include the existing Seacliff residential community and Seacliff County Club and Surfcrest Condominiums to the north, and the Aera Energy property to the south. Southeast of Goldenwest Street are single family and multi-family residential uses which are part of an area previously known as the Townlot area. A Conceptual Master Plan("CMP") of development has been prepared in conjunction with this Specific Plan as required by the Huntington Beach General Plan. This CMP and the General Plan were shaped by the citizen participation efforts that were utilized in their formation, and provide the basis for the requirements of Subarea 4B. The CMP includes the Specific Plan Area, approximately 54 acres owned by PLC, and the approximate 96- acre oil production facility site to the southwest owned by Aera, and provides the basis for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan. The CMP describes proposed development for the PLC site, as well as future development potential for the Aera site once oil production ceases and sets the framework for individual specific plans to be implemented. 1.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area includes the property south of Palm . Avenue, west of Goldenwest Street and north of the Aera Energy property(see Exhibit 1.2-1, Vicinity Map, Exhibit 1.2-2, Location Map, and Exhibit 1.2-3, Aerial Photograph). The site is a former Chevron, USA, oilfield. Oil production is no longer a use on the 54 acre PLC property. The project area is located in the Coastal Zone boundary, as defined by the California Coastal Commission. The Huntington Beach General Plan currently designates the 54 acre site for Mixed Use- Horizontal Integration of Housing (MH), with a Specific Plan Overlay. The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area is designated as part of Subarea 4B on the Huntington Beach General Plan Table LU-4, which describes the Permitted Uses, Density/Intensity, and Design and Development Standards and Principles. A copy of Table LU-4 for Subarea 4B is included as Exhibit 1.2-4 for reference. HBI PC I-1 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER Z SPECIFIC PLAN INTRODUCTION The existing Local Coastal Program Land Use designation for the PLC property is Medium Density Residential. There are currently four zoning designations on-site: RH- O-CZ (High Density Residential with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays), CG-O-CZ (General Commercial with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays), IG-01-CZ (General Industrial with Oil Production and Coastal Zone Overlays), and IG-O-CZ (General Industrial with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays). 1.3 PURPOSE AND INTENT The purpose of this Specific Plan is to establish zoning and standards for the development of the PLC property consistent with the City's General Plan, the Local Coastal Program, the Conceptual Master Plan (CMP),-and compatible with surrounding land uses. The Specific Plan provides consistency with the goals, policies and criteria of the City's General Plan, including policies related to land use, urban design, economic development, circulation, public facilities, especially those related to Subarea 4B provisions. The intent of the Specific Plan is to guide and coordinate the future design and development of the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area. It provides a comprehensive description of land use, circulation, infrastructure, site development standards, and implementation programs for the preparation of detailed development proposals for City review and approval. The Specific Plan serves as the implementing actions program(zoning) for the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program and the Conceptual Master Plan. It will act as the implementing actions program for the 54-acre site owned by PLC. This Specific Plan permits the development of a residential community with up to three hundred and fifteen (315) dwelling units proposed in a mixture of single family detached homes and multi-family units on the PLC parcel.

' City of Huntington Beach General Plan,May 13, 1996,pp.II-LU-52 and II-LU-53. HB1PC 1-6 January 2000 Palm And GQ/denwest Chapter 1: Introduction 1.4 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT COMPLIANCE In May, 1996, the City of Huntington Beach certified Environmental Impact Report No. 94-1 ("E1R") for the comprehensive update of the City's General Plan. This EIR evaluated development of the Specific Plan Area as Mixed Use-Horizontal Integration of Housing and any potential impacts from development. The Specific Plan is within the parameters of development evaluated in EIR No. 94-1, and will not create any additional environmental impacts. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared as part of the Specific Plan approval process. The Initial Study will serve as the basis on which the environmental effects of implementing the Specific Plan can be ascertained. The Initial Study indicated that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEQA compliance tool, and has been prepared as part of this Specific Plan process. A traffic study, noise study, air quality study, and visual analysis have also been prepared in conjunction with the CMP and this Specific Plan to further demonstrate that there are no significant impacts from the proposed Specific Plan and development. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and distributed for public review and comment. Mitigation Measures included as part of Mitigated Negative Declaration#98-8 have been incorporated in Chapter 6, Appendix B and will be included as conditions of approval on all development projects within the Specific Plan Area. All subsequent approvals necessary to develop any property within the Specific Plan Area must be consistent with the Specific Plan and be within the scope of the EIR and Mitigated Negative Declaration. Additional environmental documentation may be required in the future if significant changes are found to have occurred pursuant to Section 15162 and 15182 of the CEQA guidelines. 1.5 AUTHORITY AND SCOPE The authority to prepare;adopt, and implement specific plans is granted to the City of Huntington Beach by the California Government Code(Title 7, Division 1;Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457). The Specific Plan will be the device for implementing the Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program on this property. The Plan will contain all applicable land use regulations and will thus constitute the zoning for the Palm and Goldenwest property. The Development Standards contained in this Specific Plan will take precedence over all other provisions of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, unless other wise noted. As with General Plans, the Planning Commission must hold a public hearing before it can recommend adoption of a Specific Plan. The City Council shall adopt this specific plan by resolution. HBIPC 1-7 January2000 PALMAND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 2 SPECIFIC PLAN DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT 2 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT 2.1 CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT The Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan (CMP) for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area and the adjacent Aera property is illustrated on Exhibit 2.1-1. The intent of the Conceptual Master Plan is to establish general planning concepts for the entire site to be refined through the preparation of a Specific Plan. The General Plan for Subarea 4B specifically allows for phased Specific Plans in order to permit the near-term development of PLC's property and development of Aera's property at a later point in time as oil operations are phased out. The CMP Land Use Plan illustrates that the Aera property will remain in oil production for the foreseeable future (approximately 10-15 years). The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan proposes a variety of residential uses on the 54-acre PLC property. 2.2 LAND USE PLAN/DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Land Use Plan contains three residential density land uses categories. All uses proposed in the Land Use Plan are consistent with the General Plan and the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B, and will not deviate from any established General Plan policies and criteria. The 54 acre PLC site is planned for a maximum of 315 dwelling units. The Specific Plan designates Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, and Medium High Density Residential areas with a combination of detached and attached single- and multi-family dwellings. The development concept for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan is to provide for distinct residential neighborhoods in a well-designed private gated community. Perimeter themed landscaping will complement the adjacent Holly Seacliff project. A 3.5-acre neighborhood public park is also provided in Planning Area 4. The Land Use Plan for is shown on Exhibit 2.2-1.and is described below in Sections 2.2.1 through 2.2.4.

Density may be transferred either internally or from one Planning Area to another, provided that the maximum number of dwelling units established by this Specific Plan is not exceeded. All requests for transfer of density shall be in accordance with procedures set forth in Section 5.2 of this Specific Plan. 2.2.1 Planning Area 1 Planning Area 1, located at the intersection of Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street, is approximately 18.2 acres, and allows for up to 65 dwelling units. The area is designated for Low Density Residential development, which permits single-family detached homes at densities not to exceed seven(7) dwelling units per net acre. The minimum lot size in Planning Area 1 shall be 6,000 square feet. Pedestrian corridors are provided along Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street, and along the southern boundary of the Planning Area bordering Planning Area 3. 2.2.2 Planning Area 2 Planning Area 2, located west of Planning Area 1 south of Palm Avenue, is approximately 14.3 acres, and allows for a maximum of 65 dwelling units. The area is designated for Low Density Residential uses, which permits residential development at a density up to seven(7) dwelling units per acre. The minimum lot size in Planning Area 2 shall be 5,000 square feet. Pedestrian corridors are provided along Palm Avenue and the southeastern boundary, adjacent to the Aera facilities. An enhanced landscaped corridor is provided adjacent to the Aera facilities to buffer the site from adjoining oil operations. 2.2.3 Planning Area 3 Planning Area 3 is located south of Planning Areas 1 and 2 along Goldenwest Street, and is 11.4 acres and allows for a maximum of 70 dwelling units. The area is designated for Medium Density Residential development,which permits single- family detached or attached homes at densities not to exceed fifteen(15) dwelling units an acre. Permitted development includes single family detached homes on individual lots with a minimum of 3,600 square feet,or attached townhouses pursuant to a condominium plan. Pedestrian corridors are provided along Goldenwest Street and the boundary with Planning Area 1. A 50 foot habitable structural setback is HB1Pc 2-4 Jan&wy 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter Z: Development Concept provided for those lots which are adjacent to the oil operations to the south within this Planning Area. 2.2.4 Planning Area 4 Planning Area 4, located west of Planning Area 2 along Palm Avenue, is 10.1 acres, and allows for up to 115 dwelling units. The area is designated for Medium High Density Residential development, which permits single family detached homes on individual lots with a minimum lot size of 3,000 square feet, attached townhouses pursuant to a condominium plan, or apartments pursuant to a conditional use permit at densities not to exceed twenty-five (25) dwelling units an acre. A pedestrian corridor is provided along Palm Avenue. Within Planning Area 4 is a 3.5-acre neighborhood public park which will be dedicated to the City of Huntington Beach. The location of the neighborhood public park is depicted on Exhibit 2.2-1 and a description of the park can be found in Section 2.4.1 of this Chapter. 2.3 CIRCULATION PLAN The Conceptual Master Plan limits the maximum number of average daily trips that may be generated by ultimate development of the Specific Plan Area to 27,139. This is to ensure that impacts to the City's circulation system, as well as, ambient air quality and noise levels remain within the scope of impacts analyzed in the General Plan Program EIR 94-1 and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-8. Of the total trip budget, the PLC site has been allocated a maximum of 5,230 average daily trips, and the Aera parcel has been assigned a trip budget not to exceed 21,909 average daily trips. Individual parcels within the site may exchange or trade unused trip allocations, as long as the overall budget for the site is not exceeded, and subject to City approval. The Circulation Plan,Exhibit 2.3-1, illustrates the general alignments and street classifications in and adjacent to the PLC property. Two arterial streets lay adjacent to the site, Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street. Palm Avenue, a Primary Arterial, generally bounds the site to the northeast. Goldenwest Street,a Major Arterial, bounds the site on the southeast. All vehicular access to the PLC Parcel will be from Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street. The Specific Plan proposes two points of access to the PLC Parcel. No direct residential driveway access will be permitted from either Palm Avenue or Goldenwest Street. All interior streets will be private and maintained by a homeowners association. HB2PC 2-5 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 2; Development Concept Primary access to the PLC Parcel will be taken from Goldenwest Street opposite Orange Avenue. A secondary entry is located on Palm Avenue opposite the entrance to the Seacliff Country Club. Each of the entries will be gated and will include enhanced landscaping and paving, and project monument signage. Within the PLC property, all interior streets serving single family detached neighborhoods will provide a 52-foot right-of-way consisting of a 40 foot paved way, with six-foot sidewalks on both sides of the street with detached parkways provided along the main entry road only and detached parkways elsewhere in the project at the option of the developer. All streets within multi-family areas will include minimum paved street sections of 24 feet in accordance with City of Huntington Beach specifications for multi-family neighborhoods. These typical street sections are shown on Exhibit 2.3-2. i HB2PC 2-6 Jdnwy 2000 LPALM VENUE A ACACIA AVENUE O,� O PECAN O 0c AVENUE ........ 0 � m ..... ... ` VENUE ::, .. .. ..

Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 2; De!T6q ment Concept 2.4.3 Perimeter and Buffer Landscaping and Pedestrian Walkways Landscaped setback areas will be provided along the arterial highways, Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street,that form the north and east perimeter of the Specific Plan Area. Within the Specific Plan Area, pedestrian walkways with detached sidewalks and parkways including street trees will be provided along the main entry road only and detached parkways elsewhere in the project at the option of the developer. Walkways will be linked to perimeter sidewalks along Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street at each project entry, and will also link to a meandering walkway located in the enhanced landscape area along the south side of Planning Area 2 adjoining the Aera Energy property. A master homeowners association or sub-association will maintain all pedestrian walkways within the interior of the PLC property. The City of Huntington Beach will maintain all sidewalks on the perimeter of the Specific Plan Area. 1. Palm Avenue Along the south side of Palm Avenue within Planning Areas 1 and 2, an existing six foot high block wall was constructed and landscaping installed in the late 1960's to screen oilfield uses. The setback of the existing wall varies between three and twenty feet from the existing sidewalk and right of way of Palm Avenue. Within Planning Area 4, west of the entry to Seacliff Country Club, an eight-foot high concrete panel wall exists atop a four-foot high berm Additional planter walls and landscaping have been installed within the area between the wall and sidewalk, which varies in width from eight to eighteen feet. The proposed development plan has been designed to retain the existing pedestrian walkway,perimeter wall and landscaping within Planning Areas 1 and 2. Portions of the existing improvements will be removed at the location of the new secondary project entry opposite Seacliff Country Club, which will also include new entry landscaping and monument signs. Directly opposite Ofelia Lane, a portion of the existing wall is proposed to be removed and replaced with a six-foot high view fence adjoining an interior landscaped open space lot. A master homeowners association will maintain all perimeter walls and landscaping. A typical section showing the perimeter wall and landscaping within Planning Areas 1 and 2 is shown in Exhibit 2.4-3. Within Planning Area 4, adjacent to the proposed neighborhood park,the existing wall will be removed to provide visual access to the park. HB2PC 2-11 Jama7 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 2; Deve%pment Concept Adjacent to the multifamily development,the existing wall may be retained or replaced with either a new wall or tubular steel fence, similar to other multifamily perimeter fencing established along Palm Avenue. If a new solid wall is constructed, it will be set back fifteen feet from the right of way of Palm Avenue. If a tubular steel fence is used, it may be located within the fifteen foot landscaped setback with a minimum setback of five feet from right-of-way. In either condition, a minimum of fifteen feet will be landscaped and maintained by a master homeowners association. A typical section showing the perimeter wall and landscaping within Planning Area 4 is shown in Exhibit 2.4-3. 2. Goldenwest Street Along Goldenwest Street, a twenty-five foot wide landscape setback will be provided within Planning Areas I and 3. The perimeter wall will be an eight-foot high solid masonry wall. At the primary project entry opposite Orange Avenue, the wall will be angled back to allow additional entry landscaping and project monument signage. A master homeowners association will maintain all perimeter walls and landscaping. A typical section showing the perimeter wall and landscaping along Goldenwest Street within Planning Areas I and 3 is shown in Exhibit 2.4-4. 3. Aera Energy Edge Because of the planned long-term oil production activity on the adjacent Aera Energy site, the Specific Plan provides for additional buffer landscaping along the southerly edge of the Specific Plan within Planning Areas 2, 3 and 4. Within Planning Area 2, a landscaped common area lot has been provided for the entire length of the street between Planning Areas 3 and 4. This landscaped area varies from 25 to 45 feet in width, and will incorporate ' trees, shrubs and turf in addition to a meandering pedestrian walkway. A. typical section_showing the buffer landscape area is shown in Exhibit 2.4- 5. Within all Planning Areas, a 50 foot habitable structural setback will be provided along the common property line between the PLC property and the Aera Energy property.

The grading concept for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan is intended to: • Be responsive to the existing land forms; • Minimize the length of time and physical impacts of the grading operations; • Stabilize manufactured slopes; and • Avoid any unnecessary import/export of earthwork to minimise impacts of the grading operation on surrounding residential communities. Soil remediation, over-excavation, stockpiling and normal grading operations and procedures will occur within each of the individual development areas. All oil well abandonments and excavation and remediation of contaminated soils will be performed in accordance with standards and plans approved by the Huntington Beach Fire Department. Clean up will involve abandonment of wells and removal of well cellars, excavation and removal of highly concentrated crude oil contaminated soils, screening of less contaminated soils, blending in onsite fills, and removal and/or relocation of pipelines. The maximum slope ratio,horizontal to vertical, will be 2:1 unless otherwise recommended by a geotechnical engineering report and approved by the City. Overall grades will be consistent with existing grades and no slopes greater than six(6) feet in height are anticipated. There shall be a smooth transition where graded slopes meet existing grades. A transition at both top and toe of slopes should also be provided. Temporary erosion and run-off-control devices shall be installed in conjunction with grading activities. Such devices shall conform to City standards. All soil remediation and grading within the Specific Plan Area will require a grading permit and will be governed by soils, foundation and other geotechnical reports prepared by registered professional civil and geotechnical engineers, building codes, established engineering practices and City ordinances. Preliminary grade elevations and details will be provided at the Tentative Tract Map process. Grading shall be consistent with City policies and incorporate safe grading techniques to provide for proper engineering. practices and ensure proper site drainage. All soil remediation and grading plans shall be subject to review and approval by the City to incorporate appropriate conditions of approval and mitigation measures. HB2PC 2-17 Jan xuy2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter Z; Development Concept 2.6 PROJECT INFRASTRUCTURE This section describes the general location, usage and dimensions of services and facilities which will be provided to the Specific Plan Area including drainage, sewer and water improvements for the PLC site. Developers shall be responsible for the construction or funding of public facilities improvements within their project and/or off-site facilities necessary to serve the development. If a developer is required to construct or oversize any facilities beyond his fair-share to serve other projects, the developer shall enter into a reimbursement agreement with the City.

This Master Storm Drain Plan is a concept plan only. The final design of all drainage facilities will be in conformance with drainage design criteria established by the City of Huntington Beach. The developers shall provide hydraulic calculations to determine if off-site facilities are adequate to accommodate increased flow from the project. Existing storm drainage facilities are maintained by the City of Huntington Beach, Public Works Department. New drainage facilities constructed within the Specific Plan Area will be maintained either by the City or privately maintained by a homeowners association. Any drainage facilities designed or sized to accommodate upstream drainage will be designated as public facilities and maintained by the City. The area will drain via proposed underground conduits into two drainage areas. The first area generally consists of flows collected from Planning Areas 1, 2, and 4. Interior streets will carry storm run-off into catch basins which will connect t; via a series of new storm drain lines to the existing 48-inch,Seacliff IV Storm Drain located in Palm Avenue and the existing 18-inch storm drain in Cherryhill Lane. The second drainage area generally consists of flows leaving the area through the south comer of the site(Planning Area 3). Flows from this area will be transported off-site via a new extended storm drain line to the ocean and/or could intercept the existing 48-inch Goldenwest Storm Drain located in Goldenwest Street.

These guidelines are intended to set a direction for distinctive, high-quality residential developments. These guidelines give specific direction as to styles and themes of development,yet are general enough to allow the individual developer and/or builder flexibility to interpret changes in consumer tastes and market conditions. Although individual interpretation and character are encouraged, builders and designers should review the following design guidelines and standards to examine the relationship that their particular site has to the entire community, and to incorporate all applicable provisions of these guidelines into their projects. More specifically, the purpose of these Community Design Guidelines is: • To provide community design criteria for use by builders, planners, architects, landscape architects, civil engineers and other project area builders/developers; • To provide specific design criteria that encourages development of a desirable living environment that will help to maintain and enhance the community's value over time. • To create a"classic seaside community" character as an overall theme in the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area;and • To allow each Planning Area to establish its own individual identity, yet blend with the overall community theme. This chapter of the Specific Plan is divided into the following sections: ❑ Community Design Concept, Section 4.1; ❑ Site Planning Guidelines, Section 4.2; ❑ Landscape Architecture Guidelines, Section 4.3; and ❑ Architectural Guidelines, Section 4.4. It is the purpose of the Community Design Guidelines to ensure that the theme is implemented in a clear, concise and aesthetically consistent manner. Care and consideration have been given in developing these Community Design Guidelines to ensure the creation and enhancement of a new aesthetically pleasing community with an emphasis on outdoor lifestyle and recreational opportunities in the City of Huntington Beach. HB4PC 4-1 Janwry 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4: Community Design Guidelines 4.1 COMMUNITY DESIGN CONCEPT A central theme has been devised to ensure that this carefully considered plan is implemented in a manner that will bring the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area a sense of its own character and ambiance. It is further intended that this theme be expressed in coordination with the project setting,which serves as a basis around which key elements of the community can be developed. The Specific Plan establishes the project site with.a seaside community theme,the intent of which is to create an environment that responds to the increasing demand for well planned residential communities oriented to the active, recreation-rich Southern California lifestyle. This community theme establishes a harmonious blend of traditional architectural styles, landscape concepts, entry monumentation, and walls and fences, which are designed to integrate with the site's proximity to the beach. This will allow the community to develop its own sense of identity,while reflecting the seaside design of surrounding neighborhoods in Huntington Beach. 4.2 SITE PLANNING GUIDELINES The Site Planning Guidelines of the Specific Plan are intended to promote a community that will have a clear identity and sense of place, and that will meet the needs of residents by providing a harmonious and pleasing environment for all uses and activities. These guidelines will provide direction to planners, architects and landscape architects for key design components of the Palm and Goldenwest community. The guidelines are formulated to provide quantitative criteria on appropriate aspects of physical development, as well as qualitative guidance on aspects of how buildings, landscaping, hardscape and signage may positively affect the land,residents and visitors. 4.2.1 General Guidelines The following site planning guidelines are applicable for every Planning Area within the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area and should be applied wherever feasible throughout the community. Generally, the plan will contain residential and open space land uses which follow the guidelines set forth below. 1. Residential streets should be designed to direct traffic to the arterial and/or collector street system as safely as possible. 2. Design solutions for residential street layouts should consider land form, grades, and circulation hierarchy, and employ appropriate street configurations. RWC 4-1 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4; Community Design Guidelines 3. Entries to residential developments should be visually reinforced through techniques such as landscape treatments, monument signage and/or pavement details. 4. Encourage projects adjacent to the Aera property to be integrated and blended using treatments such as undulating edges,varied rear yard setbacks, and landscape treatments to buffer the industrial.site from the residential edge. 4.2.2 Residential Guidelines The following site planning guidelines apply generally to all residential development within the PLC property. Lot configurations should conform to the Development Standards and Guidelines set forth in Chapter 3 of this Specific Plan. • Curvilinear streets should be utilized whenever possible for visual interest and to modulate building massing in individual neighborhoods.Residential streets should be designed to promote interaction and pedestrian movement. • Varying lot widths and configuration,_and cul-de-sacs and comers should be utilized where feasible to promote a varied residential character. - • Homes should be arranged whenever possible in a staggered and variable setback fashion to provide visual interest and avoid repetitive appearance and facades and yards. • Each structure or composite of units should have a varied facade material or color than the immediately adjacent structure/composite,to replicate a diverse single-family style neighborhood and promote individuality. • The architectural design character should be consistently implemented in structural features and details including signs and lighting. • Single-family attached products should be architecturally articulated. • Varied driveway locations are encouraged to break up repetitive curb cuts and yard patterns. Combinations of one and two story building elements are encouraged to create yard variation and visual interest. • Safe and convenient circulation connections should be provided between housing areas and open space areas. HB4K' 4-3 Janwry 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4;. Community Design Guidelines • Common area fencing,walls, gates and other security features should be designed to facilitate access to the pedestrian areas and open,space. Rear or side elevations of residential units should be enhanced where visible from public open spaces and public streets. 4.2.3 Open Space Guidelines The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan will provide public and private open space areas as described in Chapter 2. These areas should incorporate the following site planning guidelines. • Open space, parks and recreation areas should be located in highly visible locations. • Open space areas within the community should be linked by a network system of pedestrian walkways. • Open space areas should be visible from streets for safety and surveillance purposes. • Open space areas should be appropriately.landscaped. • Plant materials should be used to define activity/use areas, and to frame and reinforce views. 4.3 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE GUIDELINES Landscaping plays an important role in establishing the visual identity and character of the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area as a beachside residential community. Consistency in theme and the application of major community-level design elements such as entries, arterial street parkways,walls and fences, interface/edge conditions, and plant materials must be maintained throughout the Planning Areas of the Specific Plan Area to communicate and strengthen this identity. The Community Landscape Plan for the PLC property is shown in Exhibit 4.3-1. Implementation of the following guidelines will ensure a recognizable and cohesive community image while allowing individual expression of landscape treatment at the Planning Area or project level.

The following design principles are embodied in this concept: • Community and project entries classically designed using natural materials and colors, with a similar vocabulary of materials, shapes and forms; • Consistent street tree themes should be related to the hierarchy of the street system; • Unified community theme wall and fence design, and the extensive use of trees,vines and shrubs to soften these features; • Recommended plant palettes for specific applications (i.e., entries, streetscapes, paseo/buffers, etc.) and the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area community as a whole; • Recognition of existing natural conditions and situations; • Use of both"formal' and "informal' planting arrangements, depending upon the particular condition; • Use of both evergreen and deciduous plant material; and, • "Layering" of the shrub understory to create depth, variety and interest. 4.3.2 Entry Treatments 1. Primary Project Entry The Primary Project Entry, shown in Exhibit 4.3-2, is located off of Goldenwest Street opposite Orange Avenue and will be a security-gated entrance with a guardhouse. The entry is designed with entry project monumentation, enhanced paving, formally spaced project theme trees, and groupings of accent trees and annual color. 2. Secondary Project Entry The Secondary Project Entry, shown in Exhibit 4.3-3, is located off of Palm Avenue opposite Seacliff Country Club Drive.

Exhibit 4.3-1,Community Landscape Plan, gives a diagrammatic depiction of the entries, and street locations and classifications. This hierarchy of streets and entries has been developed to: • Provide an attractive edge to implement the City's Urban Design Element and complement existing neighborhoods surrounding the project area; • Provide thematic continuity throughout the Specific Plan Area through the use of repetitive materials and themes; and • Complement a variety of architectural styles and themes. 1. Palm Avenue Palm Avenue forms the northern project boundary, and has been landscaped as part of previous development projects. From Goldenwest Street to Seacliff Country Club Drive, the existing landscaping is planned to be retained and enhanced. West of Seacliff Country Club Drive, existing landscaping may be retained unless the grading plan for the multi- family site changes significantly. Adjacent to the proposed neighborhood park, existing landscaping and walls are to be removed to open views into the park. This streetscape is shown in Exhibit 4.3-1 and detailed in Exhibit 2.4-3. 2. Goldenwest Street Goldenwest Street forms the eastern edge of the project and is designated a Landscape Corridor in the Urban Design Element of the Huntington Beach General Plan. A 25-foot wide landscape setback is designed for the t, entire length of the subject property, and will be planted with a repetition of palm trees with groupings of deciduous canopy trees.

H34PC 4-10 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4; Community Design Guidelines 4.3.5 Community Theme Walls and Fences The design concept for the community walls and fencing at Palm and Goldenwest is shown in Exhibit 4.3-4, and is summarized below. Community walls and fencing consist of elements which are readily visible from arterial and collector streets or from adjacent or nearby areas outside of the Planning Areas.. Generally, community theme walls should be consistent in scale, materials, and type. Some variation in design details, such as color, finish, caps and pilasters may be employed at entries to express a certain individuality. Fences and walls include any type of fence, retaining wall, sound attenuation wall or screen. Fences and walls shall be in compliance with the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Section 230.88. For the purposes of this section, exterior side means that fence wall facing away from the property and toward adjoining properties, streets and interior side means that fence wall facing inwards toward the property. 1. General Guidelines • All community theme walls and fences shall be consistent in design. Any fence/wall adjoining a public street or any fence/wall visible from the side or rear shall be the community theme wall. • View fencing should have a low masonry wall with cap and pool code height tubular fencing, or glass for sound attenuation if required. Alternatively, view fencing of full height tubular steel may be used, and pilasters incorporated into steel fencing. • Vines and/or shrubs should be planted along community walls to soften the visual character. An extensive use of vines is encouraged. • The maximum wall or fence height shall be six(6) feet within any required rear,or side setback area, or eight (8) feet along the project perimeter. Fence/walls heights are measured from the base of the fence/wall to the top of the interior or exterior side, whichever is greater, except in no case should the maximum height of the wall exceed ten(10) feet(in combination with a retaining wall). Wall heights along the perimeter shall be measured from the top of the exterior sidewalk. HB4PC 4-11 Jwn&wy 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4; Community Design Guidelines 2. Perimeter Theme Wall-Palm Avenue The existing wall and landscaping theme along Palm Avenue will be retained wherever possible or replaced with new walls or view fencing in a theme similar to the existing landscaping. 3. Perimeter Theme Wall- Goldenwest Street Pedestrian sidewalks and enhanced perimeter landscaping will be provided along the entire length of Goldenwest Street. This edge will be a continuation of the enhanced landscape and wall materials and design along Palm Avenue. 4.3.6 Lighting • Lighting shall be sufficient to provide reasonable safety for persons and property, allow sufficient illumination to identify hazards to pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and permit routine surveillance by security personnel. • Consistent lighting fixtures shall be used throughout the Specific Plan Area to enhance community character. Light rays shall be confined on-site through orientation, the use of shading/directional controls, and/or landscape treatment. 4.3.7 Signa�e • Project monumentation signs should reflect the character and materials of the Palm and Goldenwest landscape concept. • Neighborhood identification signs should be integrated into the landscape and community theme walls using low maintenance materials and design. Temporary builder "ladder" or "kiosk" signs should be consistent with the architectural character of the community.

The intent is to allow the Planning Areas to establish individual identities, yet blend strongly with overall community themes. It is further the intent of these guidelines to ensure consistency with the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B and the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. These guidelines should be addressed during final project review unless it is demonstrated that certain guidelines are not applicable, appropriate,or feasible under the circumstances. The goal of this component of the Architectural Guidelines is to promote product quality and community diversity by encouraging builders to explore and expand their range of architectural styles. The guidelines in this section seek to continue the legacy of diversity within the City of Huntington Beach without sacrificing quality control over design details. 4.4.1 Architectural Character An assemblage of architectural styles consistent with an "established seaside _ community" theme is intended to aid designers in developing a classic architectural image compatible with the surrounding residential communities. 4.4.2 Residential Architectural Design Guidelines The purpose of this section is to provide specific architectural design guidelines for product development. Criteria are provided to ensure the use of recurring design elements which will reinforce the visual and spatial expression of the community and its themes. It will concurrently allow for individual design solutions appropriate to each planning area. 1. Height and Building Mass Height shall be determined by the residential development standards of this document.

The 54 acre parcel at the corner of Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street is owned by PLC Land Company. The PLC parcel is currently vacant and is being considered for development within the next two years. The other parcel fronting along Pacific Coast Highway, between Goldenwest Street and Seapoint is 96 acres and owned by Aera Energy LLC. The Aera property is currently in oil production and according to Aera Energy LLC, the property will remain in oil production for the 15 to 20 years. The first section of the Specific Plan, Chapters 1-4, relates to the PLC parcel. The second section, Chapters 6-9, relates to the Aera parcel. The Administration chapter and the Appendices apply to both the PLC and Aera properties. PALM /GOLDENWEST SPECIFIC PLAN SECTION ONE PLC PROPERTY t PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 1 SPECIFIC PLAN INTRODUCTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROJECT AREA BACKGROUND The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan is located in northwestern Huntington Beach, an area that has historically been one of California's largest oil fields. Over the past ten years many of the marginally producing oil areas have been replaced with other uses. To the north of the site is the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan area, a former oil producing area that has been replaced with residential, recreation and commercial uses. Surrounding land uses include the existing Seacliff residential community and Seacliff County Club and Surfcrest Condominiums to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the south. Southeast of Goldenwest Street are single family and multi-family residential uses which are part of an area previously known as the Townlot area. A Conceptual Master Plan("CMP") of development has been prepared in conjunction with this Specific Plan as required by the Huntington Beach General Plan. This CMP and the General Plan were shaped by the citizen participation efforts that were utilized in their formation, and provide the basis for the requirements of Subarea 4B. The CMP includes the Specific Plan Area, approximately 54 acres owned by PLC, and the approximate 96- acre oil production facility site to the southwest owned by Aera, and provides the basis for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan. The CMP describes proposed development for the PLC site, as well as future development potential for the Aera site once oil production ceases and sets the framework for individual specific plans to be implemented. 1.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS. The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area encompasses the 150 acre site bounded by Palm Avenue to the north,Pacific Coast Highway to the south, Goldenwest Street to the east and Seapoint Street,with approximately four acres located on the west side of. Seapoint (see Exhibit 1.2-1,Vicinity Map, Exhibit 1.2-2, Location Map, and Exhibit 1.2- 3, Aerial Photograph). The site is a former Chevron, USA, oilfield. Oil production is no longer a use on the 54 acre PLC property,but is on-going on the 96 acre Aera property. The project area is located in the Coastal Zone boundary, as defined by the California Coastal Commission. The Huntington Beach General Plan currently designates the 150-acre site for Mixed Use-Horizontal Integration of.Housing (MH), with a Specific Plan Overlay. The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area is designated as Subarea 4B on the Huntington Beach General Plan Table LU-4,which describes the Permitted Uses, Density/Intensity, and HBl January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 1 SPECIFIC PLAN INTRODUCTION Design and Development Standards and Principles. A copy of Table LU-4 for Subarea 4B is included as Exhibit 1.2-4 for reference. The existing Local Coastal Program Land Use designation for the PLC property is Medium Density Residential and the Aera property is designated as Industrial-Oil Resource Production, but includes a visitor-serving commercial overlay for the western section of the Aera property at Pacific Coast Highway and Seapoint, as well as the eastern section at Pacific Coast Highway and Goldenwest Street. There are currently four zoning designations on-site: RH-O-CZ(High Density Residential with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays), CG-O-CZ(General Commercial with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays), IG-OI-CZ (General Industrial with Oil Production and Coastal Zone Overlays), and IG- O-CZ (General Industrial with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays). 1.3 PURPOSE AND INTENT The purpose of this Specific Plan is to establish zoning and standards for the development of the 150 acre site consistent with the City's General Plan,the Local Coastal Program, the Conceptual Master Plan (CMP), and compatible with surrounding land uses. The Specific Plan provides consistency with the goals,policies and criteria of the City's General Plan, including policies related to land use,urban design,economic development, circulation,public facilities, especially those related to Subarea 4B provisions. The intent of the Specific Plan is to guide and coordinate the future design and development of the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area. It provides a comprehensive description of land use, circulation, infrastructure, site development standards, and implementation programs for the preparation of detailed development proposals for City review and approval. The Specific Plan serves as the implementing actions program(zoning) for the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program and the Conceptual Master Plan. It will,act as the implementing actions program for the 54-acre site owned by PLC and the 96 acres owned by Aera Energy. This Specific Plan permits the development of a residential community with up to three hundred and fifteen(315) dwelling units proposed in a mixture of single family detached homes and multi-family units on the PLC parcel and future visitor serving uses on the Aera parcel.

'City of Huntington Beach General Plan,May 13, 1996,pp.II-LU-52 and II-LU-53. HB! 1-6 Jamary 2000 Palm And Go/denwest Chapter 1; Introduction 1.4 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT COMPLIANCE In May, 1996,the City of Huntington Beach certified Environmental Impact Report No. 94-1 ("EIR") for the comprehensive update of the City's General Plan. This EIR evaluated development of the Specific Plan Area as Mixed Use -Horizontal Integration of Housing and any potential impacts from development. The Specific Plan is within the parameters of development evaluated in EIR No. 94-1, and will not create any additional environmental impacts. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared as part of the Specific Plan approval process. The Initial Study will serve as the basis on which the environmental effects of implementing the Specific Plan can be ascertained. The Initial Study indicated that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEQA compliance tool, and has been prepared as part of this Specific Plan process. A traffic study, noise study, air quality study, and visual analysis have also been prepared in conjunction with the CMP and this Specific Plan to further demonstrate that there are no significant impacts from the proposed Specific Plan and development. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and distributed for public review and comment. Mitigation Measures included as part of Mitigated Negative Declaration#98-8 have been incorporated in Chapter 6,Appendix B and will be included as conditions of approval on all development projects within the Specific Plan Area. All subsequent approvals necessary to develop any property within the Specific Plan Area must be consistent with the Specific Plan and be within the scope of the EIR and Mitigated Negative Declaration. Additional environmental documentation may be required in the future if significant changes are found to have occurred pursuant to Section 15162 and 15182 of the CEQA guidelines. 1.5 AUTHORITY AND SCOPE The authority to prepare, adopt, and implement specific plans is granted to the City of Huntington Beach by the California Government Code (Title 7, Division I' Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457). The Specific Plan will be the device for implementing the Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program on this property. The Plan will contain all applicable land use regulations and will thus constitute the zoning for the Palm and Goldenwest property. The Development Standards contained in this Specific Plan will take precedence over all other provisions of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance,unless other wise noted. As with General Plans, the Planning Commission must hold a public hearing before it can recommend adoption of a Specific Plan. The City Council shall adopt this specific plan by resolution. FIBIPC I-7 J=uuy 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 2 SPECIFIC PLAN DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT 2 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT 2.1 CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT The Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan (CMP) for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area is illustrated on Exhibit 2.1-1. The intent of the Conceptual Master Plan is to establish general planning concepts for the entire site to be refined through the preparation of a Specific Plan. The General Plan for Subarea 4B specifically allows for phased Specific Plans in order to permit the near-term development of PLC's property and development of Aera's property at a later point in time as oil operations are phased out. The CMP Land Use Plan illustrates that the Aera property will remain in oil production for the foreseeable future (approximately 10-15 years). The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan proposes a variety of residential uses on the 54-acre PLC property and future visitor serving uses on the 96 acre Aera property. The land use plan for the PLC property is more fully described in this first section of the Specific Plan and Section Two of the Specific Plan details the land uses proposed for the Aera property. 2.2 LAND USE PLAN/DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Land Use Plan for the PLC parcel contains three residential density land uses categories. All uses proposed in the Land Use Plan are consistent with the General Plan and the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B, and will not deviate from any established General Plan policies and criteria. The 54 acre PLC site is planned for a maximum of 315 dwelling units. Within the PLC parcel, the Specific Plan designates Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential,and Medium High Density Residential areas with a combination of detached and attached single-and multi-family dwellings. The development concept for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan is to provide for distinct residential neighborhoods in a well-designed private gated community. Perimeter themed landscaping will complement the adjacent Holly Seacliff project. A 3.5-acre neighborhood public park is also provided in Planning Area 4. The Land Use Plan for the PLC property is shown on Exhibit 2.2-1, and is described below in Sections 2.2.1 through 2.2.4.

This is to ensure that impacts to the City's circulation system, as well as, ambient air quality and noise levels remain within the scope of impacts analyzed in the General Plan Program EIR 94-1 and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-8. Of the total trip budget,the PLC site has been allocated a maximum of 5,230 average daily trips, and the Aera parcel has been assigned a trip budget not to exceed 21,909 average daily trips. Individual parcels within the site may exchange or trade unused trip allocations, as long as the overall budget for the site is not exceeded, and subject to City approval. The trip budget allocations, along with the development standards of the Conceptual Master Plan,will >, determine the land use intensities ultimately permitted within the Specific Plan Area. The Circulation Plan,Exhibit 2.3-1, illustrates the general alignments and street classifications in and adjacent to the PLC property. Two arterial streets lay adjacent to the site,Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street. Palm Avenue, a Primary Arterial, generally bounds the site to the northeast. Goldenwest Street, a Major Arterial, bounds the site on the southeast. All vehicular access to the PLC Parcel will be from Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street. The Specific Plan proposes two points of access to the PLC Parcel. No direct residential driveway access will be permitted from either Palm Avenue or Goldenwest Street. All interior streets will be private and maintained by a homeowners association. AB2 2-5 Jmnmy 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 2: Development--Concept Primary access to the PLC Parcel will be taken from Goldenwest Street opposite Orange Avenue. A secondary entry is located on Palm Avenue opposite the entrance to the Seacliff Country Club. Each of the entries will be gated and will include enhanced landscaping and paving, and project monument signage. Within the PLC property, all interior streets serving single family detached neighborhoods will provide a 52-foot right-of-way consisting of a 40 foot paved way, with six-foot sidewalks on both sides of the street with detached parkways provided along the main entry road only and detached parkways elsewhere in the project at the option of the developer. All streets within multi-family areas will include minimum paved street sections of 24 feet in accordance with City of Huntington Beach specifications for multi-family neighborhoods.

Within the PLC portion of the Specific Plan Area, pedestrian walkways with detached sidewalks and parkways including street trees will be provided along the main entry road only and detached parkways elsewhere in the project at the option of the developer. Walkways will be linked to perimeter sidewalks along Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street at each project entry, and will also link to a meandering walkway located in the enhanced landscape area along the south side of Planning Area 2 adjoining the Aera Energy property. A master homeowners association or sub-association will maintain all pedestrian walkways within the interior of the PLC property. The City of Huntington Beach will maintain all sidewalks on the perimeter of the Specific Plan Area. 1. Palm Avenue Along the south side of Palm Avenue within Planning Areas 1 and 2, an existing six foot high block wall was constructed and landscaping installed in the late 1960's to screen oilfield uses. The setback of the existing wall varies between three and twenty feet from the existing sidewalk and right of way of Palm Avenue. Within Planning Area 4, west of the entry to Seacliff Country Club, an eight-foot high concrete panel wall exists atop a four-foot high berm. Additional planter walls and landscaping have been installed within the area between the wall and sidewalk, which varies in width from eight to eighteen feet. The proposed development plan has been designed to retain the existing pedestrian walkway,perimeter wall and landscaping within Planning, Areas 1 and 2. Portions of the existing improvements will be removed at the location of the new secondary project entry opposite Seacliff Country Club,which will also include new entry landscaping and monument signs. Directly opposite Ofelia Lane, a portion of the existing wall is proposed to be removed and replaced with a six-foot high view fence adjoining an interior landscaped open space lot. A master homeowners association will . maintain all perimeter walls and landscaping. A typical section showing the perimeter wall and landscaping within Planning Areas 1 and 2 is shown in Exhibit 2.4-3. Within Planning Area 4, adjacent to the proposed neighborhood park, the existing wall will be removed to provide visual access to the park. HB2 2-11 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 2: Development Concept Adjacent to the multifamily development,the existing wall may be retained or replaced with either a new wall or tubular steel fence, similar to other multifamily perimeter fencing established along Palm Avenue. If a new solid wall is constructed, it will be set back fifteen feet from the right of way of Palm Avenue. If a tubular steel fence is used, it may be located within the fifteen foot landscaped setback with a minimum setback of five feet from right-of-way. In either condition, a minimum of fifteen feet will be landscaped and maintained by a master homeowners association. A typical section showing the perimeter wall and landscaping within Planning Area 4 is shown in Exhibit 2.4-3. 2. Goldenwest Street Along Goldenwest Street, a twenty-five foot wide landscape setback will be provided within Planning Areas 1 and 3. The perimeter wall will be an eight-foot high solid masonry wall. At the primary project entry opposite Orange Avenue,the wall will be angled back to allow additional entry landscaping and project monument signage. A master homeowners association will maintain all perimeter walls and landscaping. A typical section showing the perimeter wall and landscaping along Goldenwest Street within Planning Areas 1 and 3 is shown in Exhibit 2.4-4. 3. Aera Energy Edge Because of the planned long-term oil production activity on the adjacent Aera Energy site,the Specific Plan provides for additional buffer landscaping along the southerly edge of the Specific Plan within Planning Areas 2, 3 and 4. Within Planning Area 2, a landscaped common area lot has been provided for the entire length of the street between Planning Areas 3 and 4.

The grading concept for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan is intended to: • Be responsive to the existing land forms; • Minimize the length of time and physical impacts of the grading operations; • Stabilize manufactured slopes; and • Avoid any unnecessary import/export of earthwork to minimize impacts of the grading operation on surrounding residential communities. Soil remediation, over-excavation, stockpiling and normal grading operations and procedures will occur within each of the individual development areas. All oil well abandonments and excavation and remediation of contaminated soils will be performed in accordance with standards and plans approved by the Huntington Beach Fire Department. Clean up will involve abandonment of wells and removal of well cellars, excavation and removal of highly concentrated crude oil contaminated soils, screening of less contaminated soils, blending in onsite fills, and removal and/or relocation of pipelines. The maximum slope ratio, horizontal to vertical, will be 2:1 unless otherwise recommended by a geotechnical engineering report and approved by the City. Overall grades will be consistent with existing grades and no slopes greater than six (6) feet in height are anticipated. There shall be a smooth transition where graded slopes meet existing grades. A transition at both top and toe of slopes should also be provided. Temporary erosion and run-off-control devices shall be installed in conjunction with grading activities. Such devices shall conform to City standards. All soil remediation and grading within the Specific Plan Area will require a grading permit and will be governed by soils, foundation and other geotechnical reports prepared by registered professional civil and geotechnical engineers, building codes, established engineering practices and City ordinances. Preliminary grade elevations and details will be provided at the Tentative Tract Map process. Grading shall be consistent with City policies and incorporate safe grading techniques to provide for proper engineering practices and ensure proper site drainage. All soil remediation and grading plans shall be subject to review and approval by the City to incorporate appropriate conditions of approval and mitigation measures. HB2 1-17 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 2: Development Concept 2.6 PLC PROJECT INFRASTRUCTURE This section describes the.general location,usage and dimensions of services and facilities which will be provided to the Specific Plan Area including drainage, sewer and water improvements for the PLC site. Developers shall be responsible for the construction or funding of public facilities improvements within their project and/or off-site facilities necessary to serve the development. If a developer is required to construct or oversize any facilities beyond his fair-share to serve-other projects, the developer shall enter into a reimbursement agreement with the City. Infrastructure will be sized and installed incrementally as the project is developed. 2.6.1 Storm Drains The Proposed Storm Drain Plan for the PLC property is shown on Exhibit 2.6-1. This Master Storm Drain Plan is a concept plan only. The final design of all drainage facilities will be in conformance with drainage design criteria established by the City of Huntington Beach. The developers shall provide hydraulic calculations-to determine if off-site facilities are adequate to accommodate increased flow from the project. Existing storm drainage facilities are maintained by the City of Huntington Beach, Public Works Department. New drainage facilities constructed within the Specific Plan Area will be maintained either by the City or privately maintained by a homeowners association. Any drainage facilities designed or sized to accommodate upstream drainage will be designated as public facilities and maintained by the City. The area will drain via proposed underground conduits into two drainage areas. The first area generally consists of flows collected from Planning Areas 1, 2, and 4. Interior streets will carry storm run-off into catch basins which will connect via a series of new storm drain lines to the existing 48-inch Seacliff IV Storm Drain located in Palm Avenue and the existing 18-inch storm drain in Cherryhill Lane. The second drainage area generally consists of flows leaving the area through the south corner of the site (Planning Area 3). Flows from this area will be transported off-site via a new extended storm drain line to the ocean and/or could intercept the existing 48-inch Goldenwest Storm Drain located in Goldenwest Street. HB2 2-18 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 2: Development Concept 2.6.2 Sewer Facilities The Proposed Sewer Plan for the Specific Plan Area is shown on Exhibit 2.6-2. Existing public 12-inch and 21-inch liries.pass.through the site from Palm Avenue and Ofelia Lane to Goldenwest Street and Orange Avenue. East of Goldenwest Street, the 21-inch line is maintained by the City of Huntington Beach. If feasible, the existing 12-inch and 21-inch lines shall be consolidated into the 21- inch line. All Specific Plan Area sewage will be transported via gravity flow to connect with the existing 21-inch line near Orange Avenue. The existing sewer facilities in the Specific Plan Area will be maintained by the City of Huntington Beach, Public Works Department. All new on-site sewer lines will have a minimum diameter of 8 inches and will be privately maintained by a master homeowners association or sub-association. Any sewers designed or sized to accommodate upstream flows will be designated as public and maintained by the City. 2.6.3 Water Facilities The Proposed Domestic Water Plan is shown in concept on Exhibit 2.6-3. All water facilities.for the Specific Plan Area will be provided to the site by the City of Huntington Beach. Connections will be made to the existing 12-inch line located in Palm Avenue at Lexie Circle and Seacliff Country Club Drive. Connections are also proposed to be made to the existing 12-inch line stubbed into the site at Goldenwest Street and Orange Avenue, and to the 24-inch line in Goldenwest Street. Final line sizing will be based on a water pressure analysis. The minimum diameter of on-site water lines will be 8 inches.

HB3 3-10 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 4 SPECIFIC PLAN COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES 4 COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area is designed as a safe, livable residential and recreation-based community. These guidelines are intended to set a direction for distinctive, high-quality residential developments. These guidelines give specific direction as to styles and themes of development, yet are general enough to allow the individual developer and/or builder flexibility to interpret changes in consumer tastes and market conditions. Although individual interpretation and character are encouraged, builders and designers should review the following design guidelines and standards to examine the relationship that their particular site has to the entire community, and to incorporate all applicable provisions of these guidelines into their projects. More specifically, the purpose of these Community Design Guidelines is: • To provide community design criteria for use by builders,planners, architects, landscape architects, civil engineers and other project area builders/developers; • To provide specific design criteria that encourages development of a desirable living ..environment that will help to maintain and enhance the community's value over time. • To create a "classic seaside community" character as an overall theme in the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area; and • To allow each Planning Area to establish its own individual identity, yet blend with the overall community theme. This chapter of the.Specific Plan is divided into the following sections: ❑ Community Design Concept, Section 4.1; ❑ Site Planning Guidelines, Section 4.2; ❑ Landscape Architecture Guidelines, Section 4.3; and ❑ Architectural Guidelines, Section 4.4. It is the purpose of the Community Design Guidelines to ensure that the theme is implemented in a clear, concise and aesthetically consistent manner. Care and consideration have been given in developing these Community Design Guidelines to ensure the creation and enhancement of a new aesthetically pleasing community with an emphasis on outdoor lifestyle and recreational opportunities in the City of Huntington Beach. HB4 4-1 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4: Community Design Guidelines 4.1 COMMUNITY DESIGN CONCEPT A central theme has been devised to ensure that this carefully considered plan is implemented in a manner that will bring the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area a sense of its own character and ambiance. It is further intended that this theme be expressed in coordination with the project setting, which serves as a basis around which key elements of the community can be developed. The Specific Plan establishes the project site with a seaside community theme,the intent of which is to create:an,environment that responds to the.increasing.demand for well planned residential communities oriented to the active,recreation-rich Southern California lifestyle. This community theme establishes a harmonious.blend of traditional architectural styles, landscape concepts, entry monumentation, and walls and fences, . which are designed to integrate with the site's proximity to the beach. This will allow the community to develop its own sense of identity, while reflecting the seaside design of surrounding neighborhoods in Huntington Beach. 4.2 SITE PLANNING GUIDELINES The Site Planning Guidelines of the Specific Plan are intended to promote a community that will have a cleanidentity and sense of place, and that will meet the needs of residents by providing a harmonious and pleasing environment for all uses and activities. These guidelines will provide direction to planners, architects and landscape architects for key design components of the Palm and Goldenwest community. The guidelines are formulated to provide quantitative criteria on appropriate aspects of physical development, as well as qualitative guidance on aspects of how buildings, landscaping, hardscape and signage may positively affect the land, residents and visitors. 4.2.1 General Guidelines The following site planning guidelines are applicable for every Planning Area within the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area and should be applied wherever feasible throughout the community. Generally,the plan will contain residential and open space land uses which follow the guidelines set forth below. l. Residential streets should be designed to direct traffic to the arterial and/or collector street system as safely as possible. 2. Design solutions for residential street layouts should consider land form, grades, and circulation hierarchy, and employ appropriate street configurations. HB4 4-2 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4: Community Design Guidelines 3. . Entries to residential developments should be visually reinforced through techniques such as landscape treatments, monument signage and/or pavement details. 4. Encourage projects adjacent to the Aera property to be integrated and blended using treatments such as undulating edges,varied rear yard setbacks, and landscape treatments to buffer the industrial site from the residential edge. 4.2.2 Residential Guidelines The following site planning guidelines apply generally to all residential development within the PLC property. Lot configurations should conform to the Development Standards and Guidelines set forth in Chapter 3 of this Specific Plan. • Curvilinear streets should be utilized whenever possible for visual interest and to modulate building massing in individual neighborhoods. Residential streets should be designed to promote interaction and pedestrian movement. • Varying lot widths and configuration, and cul-de-sacs and corners should be utilized where feasible to promote a varied residential character. • Homes should be arranged whenever possible in a staggered and variable setback fashion to provide visual interest and avoid repetitive appearance and facades and yards. • Each structure or composite of units should have a varied facade material or color than the immediately adjacent structure/composite,to replicate a diverse single-family style neighborhood and promote individuality. • The architectural design character should be consistently implemented in structural features and details including signs and lighting. • Single-family attached products should be architecturally articulated. • Varied driveway locations are encouraged to break up repetitive curb cuts and yard patterns. • Combinations of one and two story building elements are encouraged to create yard variation and visual interest. • Safe and convenient circulation connections should be provided between housing areas and open space areas. HBa 4-3 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4: Community Design Guidelines • Common area fencing, walls, gates and other security features should be designed to facilitate access to the pedestrian areas and open space. • Rear or side elevations of residential units should be enhanced where visible from public open spaces and public streets. 4.2.3 Open Space Guidelines The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan will provide public and private open space areas as described in Chapter 2. These areas should incorporate the following site planning guidelines. • Open space, parks and recreation areas should be located in highly visible locations. • Open space areas within the community should be linked by a network system of pedestrian walkways. • Open space areas should be visible from streets for safety and surveillance purposes. • Open space areas should be appropriately landscaped. • Plant materials should be used to define activity/use areas, and to frame and reinforce views. 4.3 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE GUIDELINES Landscaping plays an important role in establishing the visual identity and character of the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area as a beachside residential community. Consistency in theme and the application of major community-level design elements such as entries, arterial street parkways,walls and fences, interface/edge conditions, and plant materials must be maintained throughout the Planning Areas of the Specific Plan Area to communicate and strengthen this identity. The Community Landscape Plan for the PLC property is shown in Exhibit 4.3-1. Implementation of the following guidelines will ensure a recognizable and cohesive community image while allowing individual expression of landscape treatment at the Planning Area or project level.

The following design principles are embodied in this concept: • Community and project entries classically designed using natural materials and colors, with a similar vocabulary of materials, shapes and forms; • Consistent street tree themes should be related to the hierarchy of the street system; • Unified community theme wall and fence design, and the extensive use of trees,vines and shrubs to soften these features; • Recommended plant palettes for specific applications (i.e., entries, streetscapes, paseo/buffers, etc.) and the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area community as a whole; • Recognition.of existing natural conditions and situations; • Use of both "formal" and "informal" planting arrangements, depending upon the particular condition; • Use of both evergreen and deciduous plant material; and, • "Layering" of the shrub understory to create depth, variety and interest. 4.3.2 Entry Treatments 1. Primary Project Entry The Primary Project Entry, shown in Exhibit 4.3-2, is located off of Goldenwest Street opposite Orange Avenue and will be a security-gated 4' entrance with a guardhouse. The entry is designed with entry project monumentation, enhanced paving, formally spaced project.theme trees, and groupings of accent trees and annual color. 2. Secondary Project Entry The Secondary Project Entry, shown in Exhibit 4.3-3, is located off of Palm Avenue opposite Seacliff Country Club Drive. This entry will have auto-security gates, and is designed with enhanced paving and project theme and accent trees.

AUGUST 1999 nma�W udn PLC S"02— Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4: Community,Design Guidelines 4.3.3 Streetscape Guidelines A hierarchy of landscaped parkways and entry treatments has been established for the Specific Plan Area. Exhibit 4.3-1, Community Landscape Plan, gives a diagrammatic depiction of the entries, and street locations and classifications. This hierarchy of streets and entries has been developed to: • Provide an attractive edge to implement the City's Urban Design Element and complement existing neighborhoods surrounding the project area; • Provide thematic continuity throughout the Specific Plan Area through the use of repetitive materials and themes; and • Complement a variety of architectural styles and themes. 1. Palm Avenue Palm Avenue forms the northern project boundary, and has been landscaped as part of previous development projects. From Goldenwest Street to Seacliff Country Club Drive, the existing landscaping is planned to be retained and enhanced. West of Seacliff Country Club Drive, existing landscaping may be retained unless the grading plan for the multi-. family site changes significantly. Adjacent to the proposed neighborhood park, existing landscaping and walls are to be removed to open views into the park. This streetscape is shown in Exhibit 4.3-1 and detailed in Exhibit 2.4-3. 2. Goldenwest Street Goldenwest Street forms the eastern edge of the project and is designated a Landscape Corridor in the Urban Design Element of the Huntington Beach General Plan. A 25-foot wide landscape setback is designed for the entire length of the subject property, and will be planted with a repetition of palm trees with groupings of deciduous canopy trees. This scheme is. shown in the Community Landscape Plan, Exhibit 4.3-1, and detailed in Exhibit 2.4-4. The Primary Entry Road off of Goldenwest Street will be a formal promenade of marching project theme trees spaced with groupings of accent trees leading to the guardhouse. The roadway is designed with a 20-foot landscape parkway lining both sides of the drive, with a low, planted median of shrubs and annual color from Goldenwest Street to the guardhouse. This streetscape scheme is shown in Exhibit 2.4-4. HB4 4-9 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4: Community Design Guidelines 4.3.4 Landscape Buffers and Interfaces In order to create a well-planned established seaside community, a series of landscape buffers have been designed for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan. These buffers will provide.orderly transitions between the various land uses. The Landscape Buffers/Interfaces are described in Section 2.4, Open.Space, identified on the Community Landscape Plan, Exhibit 4.3-1, and briefly described below. 1. Arterial Edges . • Palm Avenue Palm Avenue is designed to retain or enhance the existing landscape buffers along the entire length of the property. From Goldenwest Street to Seacliff Country Club Drive, existing groupings of accent trees screen a 6-foot perimeter wall as measured from the top of the exterior sidewalk elevation. West of Seacliff Country Club Drive, existing walls will be removed to provide views into the neighborhood park. Adjacent to the multi-family site, the existing wall may be retained or may be replaced with a six (6) foot wall or view fence. • Goldenwest Street Goldenwest Street, bordering the site to the east, is designed to continue the existing streetscape north of the subject property. It will have a 25-foot landscape buffer the entire length of the subject property, and will have an 8-foot perimeter wall as measured from the top of the exterior sidewalk elevation. 2. Aera Energy Edge The Aera property edge is designed as a paseo/buffer area with a variable 25-foot setback with a meandering sidewalk and heavy landscaping. A `'. minimum eight-foot high screen wall and minimum 20 foot landscape buffer area will be provided along the southern project boundary to screen the residential development from impacts of ongoing oil operations. Properties adjacent to the Aera property edge have an additional structural setback requirement. This paseo/buffer area is depicted in Exhibit 2.4-5 and the structural setbacks on Table 3.3.A. yga 4_/0 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4: Community Design Guidelines 4.3.5 Community Theme Walls and Fences The design concept for the community walls and fencing at Palm and Goldenwest is shown in Exhibit 4.3-4, and is summarized below. Community walls and fencing consist of elements which are readily visible from arterial and collector streets or from adjacent or nearby areas outside of the Planning Areas. Generally, community theme walls should be consistent in scale, materials, and type. Some variation in design details, such as color, finish, caps and pilasters may be employed at entries to express a certain individuality. Fences and walls include any type of fence,retaining wall, sound attenuation wall or screen. Fences and walls shall be in compliance with the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Section 230.88. For the purposes of this section, exterior side means that fence wall facing away from the property and toward adjoining properties, streets and interior side means that fence wall facing inwards toward the property. 1. General Guidelines • All community theme walls and fences shall be consistent in design. • Any fence/wall adjoining a public street or any-fence/wall visible from the side or rear shall be the community theme wall. View fencing should have a low masonry wall with cap and pool code height tubular fencing, or glass for sound attenuation if required. Alternatively,view fencing of full height tubular steel may be used, and pilasters incorporated into steel fencing. Vines and/or shrubs should be planted along community walls to soften the visual character. An extensive use of vines,is encouraged. G i The maximum wall or fence height shall be six(6) feet within any required rear, or side setback area, or eight(8) feet along the project perimeter. Fence/walls heights are measured from the base of the fence/wall to the top of the interior or exterior side, whichever is greater, except in no case should the maximum height of the wall exceed ten(10) feet (in combination with a retaining wall). Wall heights along the perimeter shall be measured from the top of the exterior sidewalk.

The intent is to allow the Planning Areas to establish individual identities, yet blend strongly with overall community themes. It is further the intent of these guidelines to ensure consistency with the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B and the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. These guidelines should be addressed during final project review unless it is demonstrated that.certain-guidelines are not applicable, appropriate, or feasible under the circumstances. The goal of this component of the Architectural Guidelines is to promote product quality and community diversity by encouraging builders.to explore and expand their range of architectural styles. The guidelines in this section seek to continue the.legacy of.diversity within the City of Huntington Beach without sacrificing quality control over design details. 4.4.1 Architectural Character An assemblage'of•architectural styles consistent with an "established seaside community" theme is intended to aid designers in developing a classic architectural image compatible with the surrounding residential communities. 4.4.2 Residential Architectural Design Guidelines The purpose of this section is to provide specific architectural design guidelines for product development. Criteria are provided to ensure the use of recurring design elements which will reinforce the visual and spatial expression of the community and its themes. It will concurrently allow for individual design solutions appropriate to each planning area. 1. Height and Building Mass Height shall be determined by the residential development standards of this document. However,the underlying theme of the massing should be to maintain a human scale and low profile. Proper design considerations for building mass and form will create a visually attractive community that is sensitive to the surrounding environment. HBa 4-18 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 4: Community Design Guidelines 2. Building Materials and Colors Building materials and colors shall complement the natural, climatic, and built environment of the Palm and Goldenwest'community. Whenever possible, materials should be durable and require minimal maintenance. 3. Architectural Projections Balconies,porches and overhangs are desirable-elements of a building that provide architectural interest and protection against the sun and inclement weather. Balconies are encouraged for inclusion in medium and high density residential areas since they provide residents with necessary outdoor areas and spaces. Balconies, porches and overhangs add visually to structures by breaking up wall masses, offsetting floors, and creating a sense of human scale. 4. Facade Treatments By varying the spacing, sizes, shapes and locations of door and window openings in building.facades, structures may be made more visually interesting and attractive. However, care must be taken to avoid too much variety or the end result will be a chaotic, cluttered,building facade. 2.

The site is currently used for oil production and owned by Aera Energy LLC. According to Area Energy, the site will remain in oil production for the next 15 to 20 years. The project area is located in the Coastal Zone boundary, as defined by the California Coastal Commission. The Huntington Beach General Plan currently designates the Aera parcel for Mixed Use- Horizontal Integration of Housing(MH), with a Specific Plan Overlay. The Aera parcel is designated as Subarea 4B on the Huntington Beach General Plan Table LU-4, which describes the Permitted Uses, Density/Intensity, and Design and Development Standards and Principles. The existing Local Coastal Program Land Use designation for the site is Resource Production with visitor serving overlays at both the northerly and southerly ends of the site. There are currently two zoning designations on-site: RH-O-CZ (High Density Residential with Oil and Coastal Zone Overlays) and IG-01-CZ (General Industrial with Oil Production and Coastal Zone Overlays). The legal description is included in the appendix of the Specific Plan. 5.2 PURPOSE AND INTENT The purpose of this portion of the Specific Plan is to establish zoning and standards for visitor serving uses, including open space and recreational uses on the 96 acre Aera parcel consistent with the City's General Plan, the Local Coastal Program, the Conceptual Master Plan (CMP), and compatible with surrounding land uses. This portion of the Specific Plan provides consistency with the goals, policies and criteria of the City's General Plan, including policies related to land use, urban design, economic development, circulation, public facilities, especially those related to Subarea 4B provisions. FIBS S-1 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 6 SPECIFIC PLAN:AERA PROPERTY INTRODUCTION The intent of this portion of the Specific Plan is to guide and coordinate the future design and development of the Aera parcel. It provides a description of land use, circulation, infrastructure, site development standards, and implementation programs for the preparation of detailed development proposals for City review and approval. The Specific Plan serves as the implementing actions program(zoning) for the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program and the Conceptual Master Plan. Aera has indicated that they will continue the current oil production activities on their parcel for the next 15 to 20 years. This Specific Plan permits the oil production use to continue and the future development of a mix of visitor serving commercial, office/high technology, open space and civic uses that include esplanades, greenbelts and pedestrian linkages. Given its prime location and ocean-oriented views, it is the City's desire to maximize the visitor serving commercial and recreational opportunities on the Aera site. Therefore, no residential development is included. Any change of use from the current oil production activities will require review and approval by the City through the tentative map/conditional use permit/coastal development process. 5.3 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT COMPLIANCE In May, 1996, the City of Huntington Beach certified Environmental Impact Report No. 94-1.("EIR") for the comprehensive update of the City's General Plan. This EIR evaluated development of the Specific Plan Area as Mixed Use -Horizontal Integration of Housing and any potential impacts from development. The Specific Plan, the proposed PLC project and the Aera site are within the parameters of development evaluated in EIR No. 94-1, and will not create any additional environmental impacts. The EIR determined that there will be no impacts from the proposed residential development which cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared as part of the Specific Plan approval process. The Initial Study will serve as the basis on which the'environmental effects of implementing the Specific Plan can be ascertained. The Initial Study indicated that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEQA compliance tool, and has been prepared as part of this Specific Plan process. A traffic study, noise study, air quality study, and visual analysis have also been prepared in conjunction with the CMP and this Specific Plan to further demonstrate that there are no significant impacts from the proposed Specific Plan and development. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and distributed for public review and comment. Mitigation Measures included as part of Mitigated Negative Declaration#98-8 have been HB5 5-2 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 6 SPECIFIC PLAN;AERA PROPERTY INTRODUCTION incorporated in Appendix Band will be included as conditions of approval on all development projects within the Specific Plan Area. All subsequent approvals necessary to-develop any property within the Specific Plan Area must be consistent with the Specific Plan and be within the scope of the EIR and Mitigated Negative Declaration. Additional environmental documentation may be required in the future if significant changes are found to have occurred pursuant to Section 15162 and 15182 of the CEQA guidelines. HBS 5-3 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 6 SPECIFIC PLAN: AERA PARCEL DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT 6 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT 6.1 CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT The Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan(CMP) for the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area is illustrated on Exhibit 2.1-1. The intent of the Conceptual Master Plan is to establish general planning concepts for the entire site to be refined through the preparation of a Specific Plan. The General Plan for Subarea 4B specifically allows for phased Specific Plans in order to permit the near-term development of PLC's property and development of Aera's property at a later point in time as oil operations are phased out. 6.2 LAND USE PLAN/DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT All uses proposed in the Land Use Plan are consistent with the General Plan and the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B. The CMP Land Use Plan illustrates that the Aera property will remain in oil production for the foreseeable future (approximately 10-15 years). Within this portion of the Specific Plan, the Aera parcel proposes a mix of visitor serving commercial, office/high technology, open space and civic uses. The corner of PCH and Goldenwest is designated for visitor serving uses such as specialty retail, restaurants, an entertainment complex, timeshares and/or a resort hotel. The remaining portions of the site are devoted to other visitor serving uses, including retail, office and high technology uses, but still permitting continued oil production activities on the 96 acre Aera parcel. 6.3 CIRCULATION PLAN Four arterial streets lay adjacent to the site, Pacific Coast Highway, Seapoint, Palm Avenue and Goldenwest Street. Conceptually, for the Aera Parcel, it is anticipated that there will be a right-in and right-out access off Goldenwest and Seapoint, with the major access points from PCH. A pedestrian corridor is proposed from PCH to Palm, near Cherryhill, to provide a connection between the Aera parcel and the neighboring residential uses. The exact locations of the accesses for the Aera parcel will be determined when the site is proposed for development. HB6 6-1 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 6 SPECIFIC PLAN: AERA PARCEL DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT The Conceptual Master Plan limits the maximum number of average daily trips that may be generated by ultimate development of the site to 27,139. This is to ensure that impacts to the City's circulation system, as well as, ambient air quality and noise levels remain within the scope of impacts.analyzed-in,the General Plan Program EIR 94-1 and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 98-8. Of the total trip budget, the PLC site has been allocated a maximum of 5,230 average daily trips, and the Aera parcel has been assigned a trip budget not to exceed 21,909 average daily trips. Individual parcels within the site may exchange or trade unused trip allocations, as long as the overall budget for the site is not exceeded, and subject to City approval. The trip budget allocations, along with the development standards of the Conceptual Master Plan,.will determine the land use intensities ultimately permitted within the Aera parcel. 6.4 OPEN SPACE Within the Aera Parcel, the four acre site on the northwest side.of Seapoint has been designated for future open space uses to complement the existing open space designations adjacent to this site. In addition, a pedestrian linkage between Palm and PCH, near Cherryhill, is shown in the central portion of the Aera site to complement the proposed open space/civic uses and the public park site off Palm Avenue. Greenbelts and buffer areas have been designated between the PLC parcel and Aera parcel to provide an adequate buffer between the proposed residential and future commercial development. An esplanade along PCH is designated that provides pedestrian access and view opportunities of coastal resources the length of the parcel. When the Aera parcel is developed, the property owner/developer will be responsible to fulfill the required open space obligation in effect at the time. On the Aera side, the buffer shall include a minimum setback of 75 feet from the PLC property line for structures, as well as, a minimum of a 50 foot landscaped area within the required 75 foot setback. No parking or vehicle access (other than for emergency access) shall be permitted within that 50 foot landscaped area. 6.5 GRADING CONCEPT The Aera parcel will require grading operations for soil remediation and to construct streets, infrastructure, pads and other site improvements to create properly drained development areas. The grading concept for the Aera parcel is intended to: • Be responsive to the existing land forms; • Minimize the length of time and physical impacts of the grading operations; • Stabilize manufactured slopes; and HB6 6-2 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 6 SPECIFIC PLAN: AERA PARCEL DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT • Avoid any unnecessary import/export of earthwork to minimize impacts of the grading operation on surrounding residential communities. Soil remediation, over-excavation, stockpiling and normal grading operations and procedures will occur within the site. All oil well abandonments and excavation and remediation of contaminated soils will be performed in accordance with standards and plans approved by the Huntington Beach Fire Department. Clean up will involve abandonment of wells and removal of well cellars, excavation and removal of highly concentrated crude oil contaminated soils, screening of less contaminated soils, blending in onsite fills, and removal and/or relocation of pipelines. All soil remediation and grading within the Aera parcel will require a grading permit and will be governed by soils, foundation and other geotechnical reports prepared by registered professional civil and geotechnical engineers, building codes, established engineering practices and City ordinances. Preliminary grade elevations and details will be provided at the Tentative Tract Map process. Grading shall be consistent with City policies and incorporate safe grading techniques to provide for proper engineering practices and ensure proper site drainage. All soil remediation and grading plans shall be subject to review and approval by the City to incorporate appropriate conditions of approval and mitigation measures. 6.6 PROJECT INFRASTRUCTURE The infrastructure for the Aera parcel will be analyzed when a change of use is considered. Developers shall be responsible for the construction or funding of public facilities improvements within their project and/or off-site facilities necessary to serve the development, including but not limited to storm drains, sewer facilities, water facilities and other required services. Developers shall forward copies of all tentative tract maps submitted for City approval to the utility providers to coordinate service requirements. HB6 6-3 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 7 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 7 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 7.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT The purpose of this section is to provide the specific development standards and regulations that will be applied to all new development permitted within the Aera parcel. Section One of the Specific Plan provides standards for the PLC portion of the site. These regulations are intended to provide criteria for use by builders,,developers, planners, engineers, architects,landscape architects and other professionals in order to maintain quality design of the project area. It is the intent of these Development Standards to be consistent with the General Plan and the Conceptual Master Plan. 7.2 GENERAL PROVISIONS All development activity within the Aera parcel will be subject to the following general conditions and requirements, as noted. The Aera parcel is entirely within the California Coastal Zone and all development projects shall require approval of a Coastal Development,Permit in accordance with the.regulations contained in Chapter 221 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO), as may be amended from time to time. 7.3 APPLICABILITY The Development Standards shall be applicable to all property within the Area parcel. Any change of use from the current oil production activities will require review and approval by the City through the tentative map/conditional use.permit/coastal development process. This review process will allow the City and the community to work with the developer of the site to determine the appropriate land uses;site layouts, accesses, development standards and intensities best suited for the Aera parcel at that time. Where there is a conflict between the provisions of the Specific Plan and the HBZSO, the Specific Plan shall apply. Where the Specific Plan is silent, the provisions of the HBZSO shall apply. HB7 7-1 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 7.4 PRINCIPAL PERMITTED USES The following are permitted uses within the Aera Parcel: • Continued oil production activities consistent with the existing operations. • Visitor serving commercial uses as permitted by the HBZSO, except as follows: ■ automotive service and repair related uses shall be prohibited. ■ drive-through windows in conjunction with restaurants shall be prohibited. • Resort Hotel • Office: not to exceed 15%of the total square footage allocation for the property based on ADTs and shall not be located on the ground floor • Timeshares • Recreational facilities, public and private • Open Space, public and private • Civic Uses including museums, libraries, community centers, amphitheaters, schools, civic center, City Hall facilities and/or other public facilities. • Other uses determined to be similar in nature, or as other wise approved through a specific plan amendment. 7.5 MAXIMUM DENSITY The maximum density shall not exceed a FAR of 0.5:1 and an overall intensity that does result in a change to the City's adopted traffic level of service and roadway capacity `. standards. 7.6 MAXIMUM HEIGHT The maximum height shall not exceed four(4) stories and 50 feet in height as measured in accordance with the HBZSO. HB7 7-2 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN: AERA PARCEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 7.7 LANDSCAPING A conceptual plan showing proposed landscape.design and plant materials shall be submitted for review and approval by the Planning Department concurrent with any development or Tentative Map application. All landscaping shall be consistent with the Plant Palette for this Specific Plan Area and those included in the Conceptual Master Plan. 7.8 WALLS AND FENCES Walls and fences shall be constructed in accordance with Section 230.88 of the HBZSO. Design of all walls and fences shall be consistent with the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B. A conceptual plan showing the proposed location, height, design, and materials of all proposed walls and fences shall be submitted for review and approval by the Planning Department concurrent with any development or tentative map application. 7.9 SIGNS AND OUTDOOR LIGHTING All signs and outdoor lighting shall be in accordance with Chapters 232 and 233 respectively, of the HBZSO. Signs and Outdoor Lighting shall be consistent with the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B. 7.10 MINIMUM BUFFER AREA/BUILDING SEPARATION BETWEEN THE PLC PARCEL AND THE AERA PARCEL On the Aera side, a minimum setback of a 75 foot structural from the PLC property line for structures shall be provided. Within that 75 feet, 50 feet closest to the PLC property line shall be landscaped and shall not permit parking or motor vehicle access(except for emergency vehicles)to encroach into that 50 foot landscaped area. The precise design of the setback area should be determined through the tentative map/conditional use/coastal development permit process and developed in accordance with the recommended mitigation measures set forth in the Appendix HB7 7-3 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES 8 COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES These guidelines give specific direction as to styles and themes of development, yet are general enough to allow the individual developer and/or builder flexibility to interpret changes in consumer tastes and market conditions. Although individual interpretation and character are encouraged, builders and designers should review the following design guidelines and standards to examine the relationship which their particular site has to the entire community,.and to incorporate.all applicable provisions.of these guidelines into their projects. It is the purpose of the Community Design Guidelines to ensure that the theme is implemented in a clear, concise and aesthetically consistent manner. Care and _. consideration:have been.given in developing these.Community Design Guidelines to ensure the creation and enhancement of a new aesthetically pleasing community with an emphasis on outdoor lifestyle and recreational opportunities in the City of Huntington Beach. More specifically, the purpose of these Community Design Guidelines is: To provide community design.criteria for use by.builders, planners, architects, landscape architects, civil engineers and other project area builders/developers; To provide specific design criteria that encourages development of a desirable living environment that will help to maintain and enhance the community's value over time; To create a "classic seaside community" character as an overall theme in the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area. 8.1 COMMUNITY DESIGN CONCEPT A central theme has been devised to ensure that this carefully considered plan is implemented in a manner that will bring the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area a. sense of its own character and ambiance. It is further intended that this theme be expressed in coordination with the project setting, which serves as a basis around which key elements of the community can be developed. HB8 8-1 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES 8.2 SITE PLANNING GUIDELINES The Site Planning Guidelines for the Aera parcel are intended to promote a community that will have a clear identity and sense of place, and that-will meet the needs of residents and visitors by providing a harmonious and pleasing environment for all uses and activities. These guidelines will provide direction to planners, architects and landscape architects for key design components of the Palm and Goldenwest community. The guidelines are formulated to provide quantitative criteria on appropriate aspects of physical development, as well as qualitative guidance on aspects of how buildings, landscaping, hardscape and signage may positively affect the land, residents and visitors. 8.3 OPEN SPACE GUIDELINES The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan will provide public and private open space areas should incorporate the following site planning guidelines. • Open space, parks and recreation areas should be located in highly visible locations. • Open space areas within the community should be linked by a network system.of. . pedestrian walkways. • Open space areas should be visible from streets for safety and surveillance purposes. • Open space areas should be appropriately landscaped. • Plant materials should be used to define activity/use areas, and to frame and reinforce views. 8.4 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE GUIDELINES Landscaping plays an important role in establishing the visual identity and character of the Aera parcel as a beach side visitor serving area. Consistency in theme and the application of major community-level design elements such as entries, arterial street parkways, walls and fences, interface/edge conditions, and plant materials must be maintained throughout the Aera parcel to communicate and strengthen this identity. The landscaping themes should be consistent with the Conceptual Master Plan landscape design guidelines and should include: • Community and project entries classically designed using natural materials and colors, with a similar vocabulary of materials, shapes and forms; •. Consistent street tree themes should be related to the hierarchy of the street system; HB8 8-2 January 2000 PALM AND GOL DEN WEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES • Unified community theme wall and fence design, and the extensive use of trees, vines and shrubs to soften these features; • Recommended plant palettes for specific applications (i.e., entries, streetscapes, paseo/buffers, etc.) and the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area community as a whole; • Recognition of existing natural conditions and situations; • Use of both "formal" and "informal" planting arrangements,-depending upon the particular condition; • Use of both evergreen and deciduous plant material; • "Layering" of the shrub understory to create depth, variety and interest. • Provide an attractive edge to implement the City's Urban Design Element and complement existing neighborhoods surrounding the project area; • Provide thematic continuity throughout the Aera parcel through the use of repetitive materials and themes; and • Complement a variety of architectural styles and themes. 8.5 COMMUNITY THEME WALLS AND FENCES Community walls and fencing consist of elements which are readily visible from arterial and collector streets or from adjacent or nearby areas outside of the.Planning Areas. Generally, community theme walls should be consistent in scale, materials, and type. Some variation in design details, such as color, finish, caps and pilasters may be employed at entries to express a certain individuality, however: • All community theme walls and fences shall be consistent in design. • Any fence/wall adjoining a public street or any fence/wall visible from the side or rear shall be the community theme wall. • View fencing should have a low masonry wall with cap and pool code height tubular fencing, or glass for sound attenuation if required. Alternatively, view fencing of full height tubular steel may be used, and pilasters incorporated into steel fencing. HB8 8-3 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES • Vines and/or shrubs should be planted along community walls to soften the visual character. An extensive use of vines is encouraged. • Pedestrian sidewalks and enhanced perimeter landscaping will be provided along the entire length of Goldenwest Street. This edge will be a continuation of the enhanced landscape and wall materials and design along Palm Avenue. • Fences and walls shall be in compliance with the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Section 230.88 8.6 ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES Implementation of a consistent architectural design program. The intent is to allow the Planning Areas to establish individual identities,-yet blend strongly with overall community themes. It is further the intent of these guidelines to ensure consistency with the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B and the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. These guidelines should be addressed during final project review unless it is demonstrated that certain guidelines are not applicable, appropriate, or feasible under the circumstances. The goal of this component of the Architectural Guidelines is to promote product quality and community diversity by encouraging builders to explore and expand their range of architectural styles. The guidelines in this section seek to continue the legacy of diversity within the City of Huntington Beach without sacrificing quality control over.design details. An assemblage of architectural styles consistent with an "established seaside community" theme is intended to aid designers in developing a classic architectural image compatible with the surrounding residential communities. 8.7 COMMERCIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES The intent of this section is to encourage the siting of the common areas, civic uses, recreation facilities and visitor serving areas first, then orient specific buildings around these gathering areas creating a true sense of place for visitors to enjoy. Buildings should be sited in such a manner as to encourage walking from one part of the commercial area to another with as little automobile intrusion as possible. 1. Commercial Design Theme The ultimate site design for the Aera parcel should attempt to visually emphasize prominent design elements and vistas, while screening undesirable views. The siting of buildings should protect and enhance public view opportunities to the ocean, with restaurant and entertainment HB8 8-4 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES uses located where they can take advantage of ocean views, while providing a harmonious transition between adjacent land uses and between development and open space. 2. Setbacks Increased setbacks and/or design elements that buffer residential units from impacts of the abutting commercial development should be .incorporated in the-site design. Site plans should be designed so that building footprints are articulated and incorporate variations composed of insets, entries, corners, and jogs integrated with adjacent outdoor areas in order to create intricate and inviting pedestrian spaces. 3. Compatibility With Existing Development Although architectural diversity is encouraged in commercial projects, it is not to be achieved at the expense of harmony with existing development. ..Thus, though new projects need not imitate the design of surrounding buildings, they nevertheless should be visually compatible with that development.:In�addition, commercial.proj ects-should avoid designs so massive as,to overwhelm the scale of surrounding residential development. 4. Focal Points The use of focal points in a commercial complex is desirable to provide both orientation and organization. These focal points create a visual counterpoint to the massing of nearby buildings. Examples of important focal elements include courtyards enhanced by fountains, outdoor cafes and other amenities and the use of towers that create a vivid visual and mental image for a project, provide identity and differentiation from other projects and become the gathering point for a project. . 5. Public Art Provisions shall be incorporated in the Specific Plan to require public art be provided in public spaces, especially to assist in defining focal points and open area. HB8 8-5 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES 6. Pedestrian and Open Space Linkages Open space areas with footpaths should be designed throughout the project area to provide linkages to the major recreation activities and encourage pedestrian activity. Buildings and pedestrian paths should be sited in such a manner as to encourage walking from one part of the commercial area to another, with as little automobile intrusion as possible. Also, provisions should be made for direct pedestrian links between the project's residential areas. 7. Bicycle Access Bicycle usage shall be encouraged by the provision of bikeway accesses and bike.racks at convenient locations near building entries. 8. Lighting Parking lot and outdoor lighting should be the minimum needed to accommodate safety and security, while minimizing the impacts on the surrounding residential.areas. Outdoor lighting should be coordinated with parking lot and planting plans. Architectural lighting should serve to emphasize building entries and particular building details. 9. Parking Lots Parking lot design should provide for vehicular and pedestrian access to adjacent parcels, should be designed to avoid large unbroken expanses of paved areas, provide buffers between buildings and the parking areas and screened from the street by landscaping and berming. 10. Screening of Service Areas Service and storage areas and trash enclosures should be screened from public view by means of walls and landscaping. Loading and storage areas shall be screened from public view by means of solid walls or fences and/or plantings. 11. Signs A sign program should identify commercial centers. All signs should be harmonious in scale, form, materials and colors with the project buildings, walls and other structures. Identification signs should be provided for all HB8 8-6 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 8 SPECIFIC PLAN; AERA PARCEL COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES projects. Such signs shall conform to the sign regulations of the HBZSO pertaining to limitations on size, height, and placement. 12.Articulation The apparent mass of buildings should be reduced by means of articulation, i.e., the varying of wall planes in depth and/or direction. This also creates visual interest and human-scale.outdoor spaces such as patios and terraces: Large blank single-planed walls should be avoided. A combination of one-story to four-story elements should be created within the overall form of commercial buildings in order to provide a variety of scales and reduce the perceived building mass. Any building mass above the second story should be substantially setback and reduced in size. 13. Ground Floor Interest Commercial and office buildings should be designed so that the ground floor presents an interesting and varied appearance to pedestrians and motorists. This can be achieved by the liberal use of windows, arcades, architectural detailing, wall murals, artwork, and similar design features. 14. Roofs The rooflines on larger buildings with long elevations should be broken up by roof elements of varying height. Tower elements are also used to break up large elevations. Parapet walls can also be used to add variation to the roofline. When a flat roof is used, a parapet or shed roof that is designed to resemble hipped or gabled roofs should screen it. i HB8 8-7 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 9 SPECIFIC PLAN ADMINISTRA TION 9 ADMINISTRATION The methods and procedures for implementation and administration of the Development Standards, as well as the policies, guidelines and other conditions of this Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan for both the PLC and Aera properties, are prescribed as follows: 9.1 ENFORCEMENT OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN The Specific Plan serves both a planning function and regulatory function. It is the vehicle by which the City of Huntington Beach General Plan/Local Coastal Program and the Conceptual Master Plan are implemented for the Palm and Goldenwest property. In addition, the general administration rules in this Chapter are specified to properly relate the Specific Plan to the provisions within the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. If there is a conflict found between this Specific Plan and the City's Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances, the contents of this Specific Plan shall prevail. Where the Specific Plan is silent, the provisions of the HBZSO shall apply. Should future economic or development conditions make it desirable to amend this Specific Plan, the procedures described in Section 5.2 shall govern such amendments. This Specific Plan may be amended at any time in the same process by which it was originally adopted. Enforcement of the provisions of the Specific Plan shall be as follows: • The Planning Director or Director's designee shall be responsible for interpreting and enforcing the site development standards and design guidelines set forth in the Specific Plan. • Any administrative interpretation of the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan may be submitted for review by the Planning Commission and shall be subject to appeal to the City Council. HB9 9-1 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 5; Administration 9.2 METHODS AND PROCEDURES 9.2.1 Implementation The Specific Plan shall be implemented through.the processing of site plans in conjunction with Coastal Development Permits; tentative tract maps and tentative parcel maps. The site plans may be prepared concurrently in sufficient detail to determine conformance with the Specific Plan and consistency with the CMP and General Plan. 9.2.2. Coastal Development Permits All development projects in the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area require a Coastal Development Permit pursuant to the provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. 9.2.3 Tentative Tract Maps Tentative Tract or Parcel Map(s) shall be in compliance to the provisions and procedures in the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. 9.2.4 Zoning Text Amendments A Zoning Text Amendment shall be required for changes to the Development Standards in the Specific Plan, unless such changes are to provide clarification only, which may be approved by the Planning Director. Zoning Text Amendments shall be processed in accordance with the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. 9.2.5 Dwelling Unit Transfer Procedure Dwelling units may be transferred from one Planning Area to another, provided that the Planning Director determines that: • The average density for the Planning Area to which the units are transferred does not exceed the Maximum Units for that Planning Area shown on Table 2.2-A; and • The transfer does not increase the maximum number of dwelling units permitted in the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan. HB9 9-2 January 2000 Palm And Golden west Chapter 5; Administration 9.2.6 Planning Area Boundary Adjustment The interior Planning Area boundaries may be adjusted up to ten(10)percent of the approved acreage on Exhibit 2.2-1 during the Tentative Map process due to final engineering adjustments. 9.2.7 Allocation And Transfer Of ADTs ALLOCATION OF ADTS At the time of the adoption of this document, the PLC property has an overall intensity total of 5,230 Average Daily Trips (ADT's) assigned to the property, which is the equivalent to a maximum of 500 residential units. In the event that _the PLC property does not develop a total of.500 units, pursuant to this specific plan, the unused trip capacity (ADT's) may be reallocated to the Aera property at the City's discretion. At the time of the adoption of this document, the Aera property has an overall intensity of 21,909 ADTs assigned to the property. This trip assignment is equivalent to a maximum of 614,570.square feet of commercial or other comparable uses as determined by a traffic analysis approved by the City. The four acre site across Seapoint should be designated as open space and therefore should not be considered within the 21,909 ADT's allocated for the Aera property. TRANSFERS OF ADTS The transfer of Average Daily Trips (ADTs) from the PLC property to the Aera property may be permitted in the event that PLC does not develop a maximum of 500 units. Any transfer will be reviewed and approved concurrent with the tentative map/conditional use/coastal development permit process for the Aera property. The Planning Director, Planning Commission and/or City Council may determine not to allocate ADTs to those uses or areas that do not generate vehicular trips, such as greenbelts, esplanades or other similar uses or areas, subject to approval through the tentative map and/or conditional use permit process. HB9 9-3 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest Chapter 5; Administration 9.2.8 Hearings All Public Hearings held relative to this Specific Plan shall be administered per the applicable provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. 9.2.9 Appeals Any decision, determination or requirements may be appealed in accordance with applicable provisions of the�Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. 9.3 MAINTENANCE MECHANISMS For development projects which include privately-owned streets, parking, recreation, open space, landscaped areas, community walls and fences, or community buildings or facilities, the developer shall submit a legal instrument or instruments setting forth a plan or manner of permanent care and maintenance of such areas and facilities. No such instrument shall be acceptable until approved by the City Attorney as to legal form and effect, and by.the Planning Director as to suitability for the proposed use of said areas and facilities. If the common areas are to be conveyed to a master homeowners' association or sub-association, the developer shall file a Declaration of Covenants to be submitted with the application for approval, that will govern the association. These covenants shall include: • The homeowner's association shall be established.prior to the sale of the first dwelling unit within each Planning Area. • Membership shall be mandatory for each buyer and each successive buyer. • Any open space restrictions shall be permanent. • Provisions to prohibit parking upon other than approved and developed parking areas shall be written into the covenants, conditions and restrictions for each project. • If the development is constructed in increments of phases which require one or more final maps, reciprocal covenants, conditions or restrictions, reciprocal management and maintenance agreements shall be established which will cause a merging of increments as they are completed, and embody one homeowners' association with common areas for the total development. HB9 9-4 January 2000 Palm And Golden west Chapter 5: Administration • Notification to all future residents of existing adjacent oil operations, potential loss of view upon development of the Aera property, and the future commercial development on the Aera property. i,. HB9 9-5 January 2000 PALM AND GOLDENWEST CHAPTER 10 SPECIFIC PLAN APPENDICES A. SPECIFIC PLAN CONSISTENCY WITH THE HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN I. Land Use Element GOAL L U 1: Achieve development that maintains or improves the City's fiscal viability and reflects economic demands while maintaining and improving the quality of life for the current and future residents of Huntington Beach. How Satisfied: The Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan proposes development that will implement the General Plan proposed land uses,provide additional property tax base, and provide development that is consistent in character with the existing residential development to the north and west at compatible densities. The proposed residential project will provide private streets, open space, and landscaping that will be maintained by a homeowners'association and not require the use of City funds. GOAL LU2: Ensure that development is adequately served by transportation infrastructure, utility infrastructure, and public services. How Satisfied: The proposed project is adequately served by transportation infrastructure, utility infrastructure and public services. A traffic study has been prepared and it demonstrates that the existing transportation infrastructure is adequate for build-out of the proposed project. Existing utility systems in the project vicinity have adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed project. The conceptual engineering and utility plans are described in Chapter 2, Development Concept. More detailed plans will be submitted during the Tentative Tract Map approval process. GOAL LU3: Achieve the logical, orderly and beneficial expansion of the City's services and jurisdictional limits. How Satisfied: Not Applicable. The subject property is currently within the Huntington Beach city limits, and will conform with existing land use designations set forth by the Huntington Beach General Plan and the Conceptual Master Plan for Subarea 4B. HB10-A 10-1 January 2000 Palm And Goldenwest ;,. .n , .:.,_ -- ChapterlO: Appendices GOAL LU 4: Achieve and maintaid High quality architecture, landscape and public open spaces in the City. How Satisfied: The architecture character and landscape plan for the Specific Plan Area are described in Chapter 4, Community Design Concept. All architectural design and landscaping is in conformance with policies setforth in the Conceptual Master Plan. GOAL LU S: Ensure that significant environmental habitats and resources are maintained. How Satisfied: Not applicable. The subject property has been utilized for the extraction and processing of oil for decades and therefore no environmental habitats or resources are currently on the site. GOAL LU 6: Ensure that the City's General Plan is maintained and updated to be an accurate guide for development and resource conservation. How Satisfied: The City of Huntington Beach recently prepared the Subarea 4B Conceptual Master Plan which.includes the Palm and Goldenwest Specific Plan Area. The purpose of this Conceptual Master Plan is to provide an updated and accurate guide for development of the subject property and the adjacent Aera property. This Specific Plan is designed to provide for development that is in conformance with the Conceptual Master Plan. GOAL LU 7.• Achieve diversity of land uses that sustain the City's economic viability,while maintaining the City's environmental resources and scale and character.

Mitigation measures incorporated in the environmental assessment avoid or reduce the project's effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment will occur. The recommended mitigation measures include provisions to mitigate the short-term environmental impacts associated with grading, remediation and construction-related activities on the 150 acre site. The mitigation measures also address the potential long-term environmental impacts associated with existing and proposed land uses, traffic, noise, air quality and public services and facilities. The mitigation measures reduce the potential environmental impacts of the projects to a level of insignificance. 3. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Planning Commission that the project, as mitigated, will have a significant effect on the environment. Updated traffic, air quality and noise studies were prepared to assess the proposed project to determine whether the project falls within the scope of the analysis of the adopted Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) prepared for the City's 1996 General Plan. After analyzing the potential impacts associated with the project, it has been determined-that the project, with the recommended mitigation measures, is within the scope of the PEIR and reduces the potential environmental impacts of the projects to a level of insignificance. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO. 98-3 and SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 98-1: 1. Zoning Map Amendment No. 98-3 amending District Map Nos. 3Z, 4Z and 10Z, and changing the zoning designations on the 150 acre site from High Density Residential with an Oil and Coastal Overlay (RH-O-C), General Commercial with an Oil and Coastal Overlay (CG-O-CZ), General Industrial with an Oil and Coastal Overlay(IG-O-CZ), and General Industrial with an Oil Production and Coastal Overlay (IG-OI-CZ)to SP-12 (Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan) and Specific Plan No. 98-1 is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan because it allows for a specific plan designation on the site. The changes proposed would be compatible with uses in the vicinity, which are residential, recreation and open space. 2. In the case of general land use provisions, the zoning map amendment and proposed specific plan are compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, the zoning district for which it is proposed. The changes proposed would be compatible with uses in the vicinity, which are residential, open space and recreation. 3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed. The changes would expand the opportunities for housing and address the needs of a growing population and provide for future visitor serving uses consistent with the City's General Plan and Local Coastal Program. 4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. The Specific Plan provides for compatible land uses, public parks to serve the existing community and adequate infrastructure to serve the development. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL—LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO. 98-3: 1. The Local Coastal Program amendment to the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program to change the Land Use Plan designations from Medium High Residential and Resource Production with a Visitor Serving Overlay to Mixed Use-Horizontal Integration of Housing with a specific plan overlay, is consistent with the 1996 General Plan designations in that they provide for visitor serving uses, including open space and recreational uses, as well as, residential uses. 2. The proposed change to the Local Coastal Program is in accordance with the policies, standards and provisions of the California Coastal Act that encourage visitor serving uses. The Local Coastal Program Amendment promotes the City's Local Coastal Program goals and objectives by allowing a mix of uses, with residential uses on the inland side and visitor serving uses, including open space and recreational opportunities on the ocean side of the site. The proposed land uses will provide for future visitor serving opportunities on the Aera parcel once the oil production activities have ceased. 3. The development conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. The Conceptual Master Plan and Specific Plan design guidelines encourage focal points and pedestrian areas with the emphasis on ocean oriented views. The Conceptual Master Plan and Specific Plan provides open space and recreational opportunities on the ocean side of the site and a public park site on the inland side of the site. Esplanades and greenbelts provide opportunities for public access through and between the site. No existing coastal access will be impacted.
