It is the objective of this. General- Plan Element to conserve open space in adequate amounts to preserve the environmental amenities which embody the quality of life in Huntington Beach. Toward this end,. an open .space and conservation plan is proposed, to be implemented over the coming years through a program combining public ownership with open space • and conservation ordinances. Such a plan would accomplish the City's anvironmental objectives by utilizing all its authorized powers instead of placing the total burden for environmental protection on the municipal treasury and the taxpayer. Goals and Policies Statement Goals and policies have been formulated to provide basic guiding principles for future growth in resource- areas. Generally;: .the goals and policies which follow reflect the statements in the adopted Policy Plan as it relates to open space and conservation planning for the City's resources: land, water, air, biological, and cultural. Land Resources To conserve land resources which enhance the physical, social, and economic life style of the area by: (1) preserving and protecting outstanding geographical and topographical features; (2) developing the shoreline as a unique, irreplaceable, regional recreational asset; r (3) encouraging beautification of oil--producing areas and restoration of non-productive oil lands (4) maximizing the outdoor and environmental potential of the City by providing comprehensive, coordinated recreation parks and open space programs that fulfill the needs of all segments of the community; and (5) seeking joint participation, in all resource categories, among all levels of government, private citizens, and in- volved agencies and organization3. i i Water Resources To achieve wise management and well-planned utilization of the area' s water resources by: (1) preserving the ocean and shoreline as a recreational and physical resource; (2) cooperating in the implementation of a greenbelt plan for the Santa Ana River; (3) promoting the preservation of the area's marshes and lakes; (4) participating jointly with involved agencies to develop flood plain regulations; (5) encouraging water co:ifiervation, reclamation, and desalini- zation; and i (6) protecting the area's water resources - domestic supply, ocean r and harbor areas, marshlands, lakes -- from pollution. Air -Resources To preserve and promote clean air and a quiet environment by: . 4 (1) cooperating in local, rotate, and national efforts to improve air quality; (2) encouraging research into smog prevention techniques; and (3) preventing excessive noise intrusion. i Biological Resources I To insure the continued existence of distinctive biological resources contained within the boundaries of the Huntington Beach sphere of influence by: (1) preserving significant vegetation and wildlife habitat now existing in the planning area. Cultural Resources C To create a productive harmony between man and his environment by: (1) preserving and protecting areas of significant historic, scenic, and archaeological value; and (2) developing and maintaining high standards of visual beauty � within all areas of the City. Vill iiAir& The Open Space and Conservation Plan also identifies seven specific plan areas - vital open space areas not already preserved where special attention should be directed. . Priorities have been estab- lished for specific plan areas according to endangeredness. (See Section 6 .2 for a discussion of priority assignments.) I High Priori! : Areas where valuable resources exist and development is imminent, making expeditious planning important. 1. Seacliff 2. Meadowlark Medium Priorit : Areas where development is foreseen, but one or botho the following conditions exist - development pres- sures are lower than the areas in the high priority category and/or the resources contained within the area are not as significant. 3. Santa Ana River �► 4. Santa Ana River Marsh 5. Beach-Adams Area Lo��; Priority:- Areas where there are .valuable resources, ' but development pressures are at a low level. If the level of development pressure should change upward, a re-evaluation of priority would be conducted. In the case of the Bolsa Chica and Northwest Bolsa Chica (now assigned low priority status) , a reclassification into the high priority category would be initiated. • 6. Bolsa Chica 7. Northwest Bolsa Chica Open Space and Conservation Program • An implementation program is being proposed in the Element, de- signed to preserve local open space and conservation resources for future generations, resources that might otherwise be lost to urban development. The recommendations are as follows: a Preservation Through Regulation 1. Utilize development zoning (e.g. , estate and cluster zon- ing) to preserve open space within private developments. 2. Utilize natural resource zoning to restrict development in hazard areas and areas used for production of resources. A iv �► Open Space and Conservation Plan The final Open Space and Conservation Plan encompasses all existing and planned open space and conservation programs as well as several additional projects (see Figure 6-1) . To accomplish the identified goals and objectives, the plan depends upon the actions of other governmental jurisdictions and private developers in r addition to actual city expenditures. Strict policies, regulations, and ordinances designed to incorporate conservation measures into day-to-day development activities will support the final plan, and thus mitigate the impacts of such developments on the environment. The Open Space and conservation Plan designates eight open space � and conservation categories: scenic corridor, recreation area, resource preserve, neighborhood park, water area, resource production, trails, and planned open space development. 's Scenic' - Corridor: linear area protected from disharmonious de- '. velopment or preserved in a natural state; includes scenic road- ways and open space greenbelts. F' . Recreation Area: applies to all public and private park and recreation areas that are community-wide or regional in nature. (Neighborhood parks are excluded from this category) . This classi- fication is intended for large open areas and active recreation 0�. facilities. Resource Preserve: applies to land set aside primarily for the protection of natural resources. � (1 Neighborhood Park: applies to small, local open space areas de- signed for neighborhood use. Water Area: applies to salt and fresh water areas considered for both conservation and recreation purposes. Resource Production: applies to land primarily devoted to managed 1 production oG resources. i Trails: applies to equestrian trails. Bicycle trails will be dealt with in a separate element of the General Plan. �I Planned Open Space Development: applies to special. resource areas, r + permitting open space uses and other kinds of uses, including residential , which maximize open space benefits by incorporating natural resources into the development plan. i 3. Continue to impose subdivision controls through ordinance. Existing regulations govern: i • a. Development layout b. Public improvements j i c. Park dedication and park fees I ! d. Landscaping e. Grading. ' 4. Regulate development in the interests„of open space preservation through an Open Space Zoning Ordinance, gov- erning development of areas specified in the Open Space and Conservation Plan (Figure 6-1) . The ordinance would be broken down into three resource categories, establishing development standards and an overlay district for each. The categories are listed below: ! a. Natural Resource Areas of severely restricted or no development. Re- source areas within this category, as shown "on the plan, are as follows: Water Area ' - Resource Preserve Scenic Corridor Resource Production - Archaeological Sites -- Landmark Sites. b. Outdoor Recreation Permanent open space lands, no development permitted: - Water Area ! - Recreation Area - Neighborhood Park - Equestrian Trail.. c. Natural Hazard Areas of restricted development due to the exis;Qnce of natural hazards (e.g. , earthquake, flood) . Preservation Through AcVisition 5. Continue to acquire open space with full ownership rights ! through purchase, condemnation, or donation. Methods for v i I . acquiring open space with full rights to the land include: ` a. Eminent domain b. Installment or negotiated purchase c. Philanthropic donations d. Transfer of ownership among public agencies r. e. Multi-functional condemnation. Acquisition of full rights to the land is probably the most dependable means of preserving open space. it in by far the beat, method of preservation for vital resource areas because it. gives the City total control of the resource area and its . ultimate fate. 6. Investigate the feasibility. 'in Huntington Beach"of transfer . of development rights- and the "land bank" approach as methods of open space preservation with full rights to the land. (see Section 6.3.1 for a discussion of these potential methods of open space preservation.) 7. Employ "Lass Than' Fee`Ownershi' " techniques.`to preserve open space in Huntington Beach. : Such techniques (e':g. , easements and leasing) allow the `City certain .rights and �{ controls over property without having to secure actual ownership. (Cases where these techniques could be employed include equestrian trails, scenic roadways, and Edison easements in combination with park land.) Financing Open §pace Acquisition 8. Utilize all financing programs available to the -City for open space preservation. Existing and potential methods of financing include: a. Parks tax i b. Development fees c. Federal and State programs offering financial assist- ance d. Philanthropic donations e. Bond issues. Improvement of Recreational Facilities 9. Conduct a comprehensive analysis of park use and the cost- vi r effectiveness of the parks system, to be initiated by the City's Departments of Planning and Recreation and Parks. 10. Conduct a citizen survey seeking feedback on the physical attractiveness and enjoyability of recreation facilities. 11. Increase the flexibility of the standard for development of neighborhood parks - 5 acres per 1,000 population -- upon r which the schedule of park fees is based. (The required number of acres of neighborhood park could be reduced to the degree that community and regional park acreage is available in the vicinity. Community and regional parks, even though they help to i satisfy neighborhood park demand, are not presently considered in the assessment of neighborhood paik supply and demand. ) 12. Increase control over where park fees are spent so that. parks are sited in close proximity to the location paying the fees. 13. Consider the possibility of improving landscape treatment of neighborhood parks when reassessing the Parks Program, to increase their physical attractiveness and enjoyability. i 14. Consider providing more flat areas within neighborhood parks when reassessing the Parks Program to permit active recreation. Cost Considerations A general cost analysis for the Open Space 'an`d Conseirvation Plan is presented in the Element. The analysis is based on economic formulas developed by Orange County (Wi.11iams-- Kuebelbeck and Associates, Inc. ) and the Southern California Association of Governments (SLAG) . It is important to note that these figures are estimates only. They do include figures for inflation and changing social behavior, but are nevertheless only crude tools for predicting the major costs and benefits of a large-scale program over time. Total cost is estimated at $156.2 million. This amount in- cludes acquisition, development, and maintenance expenditures. Fees and taxes generated by all open space uses will total about $92.1 million udder the plan. User benefits to be derived from the plan total about $583.1 million. (These user benefits do not accrue directly to the City, of course; but they are accumulated by the community as a whole and are, • vii A v} C therefore, important to the City decision makers.) A summary of costs is given below: Total Cost $156. 2 million Total Benefits $665. 1 million Net Municipal Cost $ 74.1 million ' Net Community Benefit $509. 0 million .1 i - 1 1 viiiANN 1 � TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. 0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Intent and Purpose 1.2 Assumptions 1.3 State Authorization and Requirements , 2.0 GOALS AND POLICIES 2.1 Function in the Planning Process 2.2 Goals and Policies Statement 3. 0 RESOURCE PRIORITIES • 3.1 Resources for Open Space 3.2 Resources for Conservation !� 3. 3 Conclusion 4. 0 ALTERNATIVE USE CONCEPTS 4.1 Alternative A: Minimum Plan 4.2 Alternative B; Moderate Plan 4.3 Alternative C: Ultimate Plan ' 4.4 Conclusion 4.5 Achieving Consensus 5. 0 PARKS..ANALYSIS 5.2 Methodology 5.2 Constraints 5.3 The Master Plan of Parks, Open Space, Schools and Recreation 5.4 Capital Improvements Program 5.5 Background Data 5.6 Analysis . 5.7 Conclusions 5.8 Recommendations 6.0 OPEN SPACE AND CONSERVATION PLAN 6.1 Objectives 6. 2 Explanation 6.3 Implementation 6.4 Cost Considerations 6.5 Analysis 7. 0 APPENDIX i . f . .. ... .._.. .... �_ .... ..._.�...t. la, .. .. .•. .. . _ 1.... .r w..wr.r........�....- ♦..

A 'result of many months of. research"r, analysis, formulation, and review, this Phase II Open Space and Conservation Element" 'is designed to meet community needs and the urgent demands of imperiled resources. It is an official municipal response to ever-increasing public awareness of the intricate relationships among natural things (and between man and nature)' as well as to i growing public concern for the fate of these relationships for the fate of the natural environment in urban society. 1.1 Intent and Purpose . The phase II Open Space and Conservation Element represents w the culmination of a long-range environmental .plannirig. program. It establishes general open space and conservation goals and policies which will guide City officials in daily decision making; it identifies outstanding environmental resources and allocates conservation and preservation priorities; it reviews alternative open space and conservation concepts investigated during formu- 1 lative stages of element preparation; and finally, it details an open space and conservation plan for the City along with_im- plementation programs and cost considerations. a _ � 1 .9 w- This Phase II Element follows the directives of the law rid the guidelines prepared by the California Council on Intergovernmental Relations (CIR) . Though State law mandates preparation of two pR elements, open space and conservation are so interrelated that any separation is necessarily arbitrary. Therefore, while meeting all specific legal requirements, Huntington Beach has elected to combine open space and conservation into one element of the General, Plan so that the fate of the City's resources can be dealt with in a coordinated manner. �+ Preparation of this Element actually began many months ago with development of community goals, policies, and objectives by a City Council - appointed citizens committee. It was apparent from the results of this citizen-based effort that environmental concerns ranked high in the public mind. In December, 1973, r a Phase I Open Space and Conservation Element was adopted for ; Huntington Beach. This document was a summary of an on-going resource inventory and evaluation program being conducted by the. Planning .Staff..and a presentation of a prefatory Open Space ( : and Conservation Program for review and discussion. Since ; adoption of :that preliminary plan, the City's research effortsI have been completed and set forth in two technical, reports: O�pen :space Potentials (February 1974) and Conservation' Potentials Report March 974 These reports identify and analyze the City's en-vronmental resources in an effort to determine needs and potentials for a viable open space and conservation program while they interpret the significance and interrelationships of these assets to inform both planners and citizens about the complex. and delicate to. inform in which they live. Tne -latest step' in` developing this final element is embodied in O e� _n; py - i Conservation Plan Alternatives (May, 1974) , a first attempt to coZine open space and conservation goals with the detailed environmental data obtained from the resource analysis. The comments generated by the concepts outlined in the report 1.. provided direction for formulation of the Phase II Element. Once adopted, the Phase II Open Space and Conservation Element will form the nucleus of an Environmental Resources Management Program - ERMP - in which open space. and conservation consideration C ! are combined with the scenic highways, safety, seismic safety, and noise elements of the General Plan into a management system that will provide a guiding influence for all future growth and develop- ment. Such a program would eventually result in the preparation of specific development plans for resource areas. C 1.2 Assumptions It is the basic principle of this document that man (and his appurtenances) is only a small part of the total network of life upon this planet. That is, the natural environment does not exist solely for man's benefit and exploitation. It is further assumed C, 2 13 I i that coexistence of both urban and natural environments is possible and necessary because the relationship between man and nature is i inextricable. For survival, if for no other reason, man must live with, instead of against, the laws of nature. Additionally, this study is premised upon the belief that current inhabitants of this City and this region do not have full claim to the bounties of the earth -- full right to deplete, waste, and destroy. Instead, they share all natural assets with generations yet unborn, a responsi- bility which demands preservation and protection of the natural environment for the benefit and enjoyment of future residents and visitors. It is further assumed that open space resources are a vital factor in the general well-being and economic potential of the City. It follows, therefore, that non-development may indeed be the "highest and best use" of some land within the City � boundaries. Finally, it is apparent that this investigation presupposes -- as it is, in fact, directed to do by state law that preservation of open space and the conservation of resources y is both the right and the responsibility of local government in its 'I efforts to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. �1 1.3 State Authorization and Requirements i Both legal responsibility and guidance for preparation of Open Space and Conservation Elements are provided by the State. Through planning lawst CIR guidelines, and environmental quality regu- lations* the State has defined and outlined the necessary contents of and methodology for these two significant General Plan elements. i The Phase II Open Space and Conservation Element for Huntington Beach is formulated to comply with these suggestions and specifi- cations. • 's 3 49 l�1 I • 2.0 GOAD AND POLICIES The development of goals and policies is the most fundamental • aspect of the planning process. A goal is the expression of an ultimate ideal to be achieved. It is the end result toward which, efforts are directed. While a goal represents where to go, a policy is a directive on how to get there. It implies a realistic method and a general guide by which goals can be obtained. Because they describe in general terms both the community's destination and the most desirable route for arriving at it, these statements of community purpose and intent direct the selection of the most der-irable future for the City from the many alternatives avail- abie. The role of goals and policies in the planning process is indicated in Figure 2-1. 2.1 Function in• the Planning Process Before any plans or action programs can be developed, it is im- portant to analyze the attitudes of the community. In the case of the Open Space and conservation Element, thin involves deter- mining the community's major concerns about the environment and the extent to which it is willing to commit itself to an ` action program. Huntington Beach is fortunate to have an adopted Policy Plan prepared by City Council-appointed citizens advisory committees under the direction of the Planning Department. This document carefully assesses the attitudes of the community and presents written goals and objectives in major areas of citizen concern, including environmental resources. These citizen lip (00 FIGURE Z-1 GOALS AND POLICIES IN T11E PLANNING PROCESS Desirable Future Action Program Program Community Plans ti Public Agencies r, Goals and Policies it ^� Needs Desires Community I i , U G 6 objectives, describing the future desired by City residents, provide the foundation for the goals and policies outlined on the following pages which detail the basic guiding principles for the Phase II Open Space and Conservation Element. 2.2 Goals and Policies Statement The following declarations represent the goals and policies of the City of Huntington beach regarding open space and conservation • planning for the- City's resources: land, water, air, biological$ cultural. 2.2.1 Land Resources To conserve land resources which enhance the physical, w social., and economic life style of the area by: (1) preserving and protecting outstanding geographical and topographical features; (2) developing the shoreline as a unique, irreplaceable, r i� regional recreational asset; f f (3) encouraging beautification of oil-producing areas and restoration of non-productive oil. land; (4) maximizing the outdoor and environmental potential • of the City by providing Comprehensive, coordinated recreation parks and open space programs that fulfill the needs of all segments of the community; and 1 (5) seeking joint participation, in all resource categories, among all levels of government, private } ! citizens, and involved agencies and organizations. 2.2.2 Water Resources To achieve wise management and well--planned utilization of the area's water resources by: • (1) preserving the ocean and shoreline as a recreational and physical resource; (2) cooperating in the implementation of a greenbelt A plan for the Santa Ana River; (3) promoting the preservation of the area's marshes and lakes; (4) participating jointly with involved agencies e to develop flood plain regulations; k r (5) encouraging water conservation, reclamation, and desalinization; and (6) protecting the area's water resources -- domestic supply, ocean and harbor areas, marshlands, lakes from pollution. 2.2.3 Air Resources A To preserve and promote clean air and a quiet environment by: (1) cooperating in local, state, and national efforts to improve air quality; (2) encouraging research into smog prevention techniques; r and i; (3) preventing excessive noise intrusion. 2.2. 4 Biological Resources To insure the continued existence of distinctive biolog- ical resources contained within the boundaries of the Huntington Beach sphere of influence by: (1) preserving significant vegetation and wildlife habitat - Gj now existing in the planning area. 2.2.5 Cultural Resources To create a productive harmony between man and his environment by: (1) preserving and protecting areas of significant historic, scenic, and archaeological value; and (2) developing and maintaining high standards of visual beauty within all areas of the City. p I� i C) U 8 /h U r 3.0 RESOURCE PRIORITIES To determine resources worthy of priority consideration is a major obligation of the Open Space and Conservation Element. Such a task involves an inventory of resources within the City, evaluation of these resources to determine their potential for preservation or conservation, and finally, assigning priorities for the resources most important to the City's Open Space and 0 Conservation Program. The following pages set forth the methodology and results of this evaluation process. 3.1 Resources for Open Space Open Space can take a variety of forms throughout the City. It can be structured or natural., for instanca, and it can involve both small parcels and vast expanses. All these possibilities can be ut-ilized in creating a balanced Open Space Program. Therefore, the range of resources that can be incorporat,ad into the program is as diverse as the natural assets of the City. 40 The first step in developing an Open Space Program must necessarily be an investigation of the City's resources and their open space potentials. This task was accomplished with publication of the Open Space Potentials report in February, 1974 , which mentioned natural resources, managed production of resources, outdoor recreation resources, and areas important to public health and 9 St safety that may have open space significance. Information For this catalogue of assets was derived from first-hand observation by City planners, from special studies prepared by City departments and their consultants, and from the investigations of other govern- mental and private agencies. The results present a comprehensive overview of open space possibilities in Huntington Beach. 3.1.1 Standards for Evaluation Though Huntington Beach is an urban area in a metropolitan region, many aspects of the natural environment survive. To establish open space priorities, therefore, a set of standards for evaluation is necessary. Designed to allocate a "relative open space value" , these standards measure the importance of each recource according to the State-established categories of; 1) open space for natural resource conservation; 2) open space for managed production of resources; 3) open space for outdoor recreation; and 4) open space for public safety. Each resource can "score" from 0 to 2 points in every category with 2 being "significant importance" and 0 being "slight importance". The total of these "scores" reflects "composite relative value" for each resource. (A sample evaluation matrix is included in the appendix) . Obviously, the higher the composite value for a resource, the more significant it is assumed to be. The ranking of potential open space resources is indicated in Figure 3-1. These "scores" reflect the combined opinions of the Planning commission, Environmental Council , Recreation and Parks Commission, and Planning Staff. 0 3.1.2 Identifying Significant Open Space Areas The second step involves identifying significant open space areas in the City; and to do this, all potential resources were first plotted on a map. in some places , n several potential open space resources are located together. In other places, only one or two resources occur in combination. And in still others, no resources are present. The relative importance of each area is computed by totaling the composite value for each resource located there. For example, where a flood control channel O (3) , a tree stand (3) 0 and an intensive shear fault zone (2) might coexist, the "snore" for that area would be U. i This process, when completed for the entire City, produces an open space valuation map with a range of values from 0-14. cD I � V 2- i r Figure 3-1 OPEN SPACE RESOURCES • COMPOSITE FELATIVE VALUES Relative values Resource Factors i 5 Ocean 5 Huntington Central Park 5 Beaches 5 Santa Ana River 4 Lakes and Ponds 0 4 Recreational Trails 4 School and Park Sites 4 Waterways 3 Salt marsh 3 Fresh marsh r 3 Tree stands 3 High points. 3 Habitats 3 Edison right-of-way 3 Wildlife preserve 3 Golf courses 3 Scenic vistas 3 Historic landmarks 3 Flood control channels 2 Slope over 20 percent 2 Archaeologic/paleontologic site 2 Crops 2 Nurseries 2 Oil fields 2 Sand and gravel 2 Scenic highways 2 Equestrian stables 2 Lagoons 2 high risk seismic areas 2 Tidal marsh 2 Flood plain . 1 Low points 1 Slope 10 to 20 percent: 1 Oil islands 1 Mud dump 1 Railroad right:-of-way 1 Airport 1 Trace of fault 1 Uncertain fault area 1 Peat deposits WW 11 With so many value ranges, the open space valuation map is extremely complicated and difficult to read. Therefore, the original values are combined on Figure 3-2 into 5 summary categories to simplify the results. The nea classification represents the following value translations: TOTAL RELATIVE VALUE SUMMARY OF OPEN SPACE AREAS VALUE CLASSIFICATIONS (as originally developed) (illustrated on Figure 3-2) — r 0 0 1-3 1 4-6 2 7-9 3 10 and above 4 r The highest rating an area can have under the summary system is 4 --- instead of 14 as originally presented. 3.1.3 The Final Analysis With open space values tabulated, the next phase of the � . . operation involves delineating land status. Obviously, valuable resources will be of more significance to the open space plan if they are located in open, vacant, or underdeveloped areas that can be readily influenced by City policy. Therefore, land use was plotted on. Figure 3-3 and then compared to the Summary Open Space Values G . map to see where these overlaps occur. It becomes readily apparent which open space areas are most valuable when value is defined as "multiple incidence of significant resources" on "vacant or underdeveloped" acreage. Serious consideration should be given in the open space plan wherever these two conditions exist. 3.1 .4 Priority Open Space Areas The results of this analysis yield a series of priority areas which deserve consideration in the City's open Or— space and conservation efforts. These priority areas are outlined generally in Figure 3-4 and defined as follows: First Priority Areas Portions of the City which represent the greatest C potential for preservation as open space are designated below as First Priority Areas. Because they harbor numerous valuable resources (as deter- mined by the open space criteria presented in Section 3.1.2) and because they are vacant or underdeveloped, C these parts of the City will form the core of the Open Space Program. 12 ACRk Z-Z C i ''1 f r' � �l4 .tip � �•�~ w Aff � rh.+ � was � �r ... •. . i � "'ems; �4. •.A �.. y � k vP MI DEVELOPED LAND _ SPACE ,t- •. . ®TO BE DEVELOPED,.

Beaches: Providing valuable outdoor recreation, scenic vistas, and habitat for a variety of wild- life, including endangered species, this sensitive 8h mile fringe area where the ocean and land meet- is one of the City's most si.gnifirart resources. 2. Bolsa Chica A. Marshlands: This vicinity contains one of the y most important remaining estuaries in Southern California. Although oil drillings in the "gap" area have substantially destroyed its marshland nature by restricting tidal flow, this inlet remains relatively undeveloped and provides valuable wildlife habitat and distinctive vegatation in addition to signi- ficant mineral, archaeological, scenic, historic, and recreation resources. it is also a flood and seismic hazard area. B. Bluff Area: This valuable bluff-dominated v c n ty may some day provide a vital open space link between Huntington Central Park and the sea. Additionally, it contains archaeological sites, important vista points, and mineral resources. 3. Central Park Area: This. vicinity, which encom- passes a 264-acre City park, is a key location of fresh water lakes and marshes and includes the bluffs, an abandoned sand and gravel operation, significant tree stands, and important vista points. Second Priority Areas The locations denoted below represent important open space resource areas which contain fewer resources or resources of less significance than the First priority Areas but are, nevertheless, integral, elements in the Open Space and Conservation Plan. 4. Ocean: ThoLgh a full realization of the potential of the sea is presently limited by lack of scien- tific knowledge, the ocean offers abundant scenic, 4 historic, recreation, and mineral resources while providing vital wildlife. habitat. Its influence and value -- economic, cultural, recreational, and environmental -- to the City, is inestimable. i 13 5. Santa Ana River: Draining both the San Bernardino 1 and Santa Ana Mountains, the Santa Asia was once j the largest river in Southern California. Though today much of the watercourse is leveed sand bottom channel, this river still provides both water and scenic resources and is planned as a regional recreation corridor. Proposed facilities to be located within the City"s sphere of influence include a rivermouth park with restored estuary- marshlands, campgrounds, and boating. 6. Beach-Adams Area: This territory contains Impor- tant storiFand archaeological sites as well. as the bluffs, marshlands, tree stands, agriculture, oil resources, and fault traces. It is also r, scheduled for a park site. 7. Northwest Bolsa Chica: Agriculfil -e, the bluffs, fault traces, historic and archaeological sites, ; and tree stands make this area valuable for the C Open Space Frogram. S. Southeast Marshlands: Located near the mouth of the Santa Ana River, this area provides unique vegetation, wildlife habitat, and scenic vistas. It also suffers from flood and seismic hazards. C• 9. Meadowlark: This vicinity harbors important tree stands, archaeological sites, and the bluffs, as well as a private recreation area. Third Priority Areas Though of lesser significance, these designated areas contain valuable assets which should be incorporated into a comprehensive Open Space Program. 10. oil Production Area: Located primarily in the south-central port on of the City near the Town C. Lot, the City's oil field is one of California 's largest in cumulative production. For the most part, the oil production area is undeveloped, thus constituting a valuable land reserve for the future. C il. Flood Control Channels: Because most of. Huntington Beach is constructed a.n a flood plain, drainage and flooding have always been problems. As a result, an elaborate system of flood control channels Bisect the City, providing "environmenta� corridors" which offer potential for trails and C linear park/greenbelt systems. 14 L?ry:i rer S',�'' is i 7 i ,� „ r .. ,`,t':�. ,i, r /.,4.` i ,i; :� 1�•.R N.ars l: car l� -a f?

Huntington Harbour; Undeveloped regions of this marine-oriented community provide natural ►;arsh- lands, tidal flats, and water--recreation resources. Flood and seismic hazards are present too. i 13. Existing Parks and Recreation Areas: The 2,261 acres of publicly-owned park and recreation sites existing in the City constitute the foundation of a comprehensive program for the preservation of > open space resources in perpetuity. 3.2 Resources for Conservation Concern for the productivity and efficiency of physical resources goes far beyond a sentimental desire to maintain the chaste sim- plicity of the natural environment. It is, in fact, born of con- temporary reality --- killer smogs, devastating floods, destructive earth slippage and tremors, polluted waters. V-. is obvious that more than ever before the survival of urban communities dependo on the healthy functioning of the natural environment. Even in a densely populated city like Huntington Beach, natural resources abound. That these resources have been misused in the past r.r are of only small.-scale significance when viewed from a regional pers- pective is little reason to ignore potentials for utilizing these natural assets to their best advai:tage in the future. 3.2.1. Standards for Evaluation Just as natural resources are themselves finite, there is a limit to the time, manpower, and economic resources that the City can allocate to conservation programs. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and evaluate existing resources 0 to determine which are most vital to the future of the community and should receive priority consideration in the Conservation Program. identification of resources was accomplished by many months of Staff effort, the results of which were compiled in the Conservation Potentials Report of March, 1974 . This docu- ment was designed as both an evaluative and an educational tool that examined and analyzed the City's environmental resources in an effort to determine needs and potentials for a viable conservation program. At the same time, it interpreted the significance and inter-relationships of these assets to inform both planners and citizens about the complex and delicate natural surroundings in which they live. Considering land, water, air, biological, and cultural resources, this background report offers a com- prehensive picture of the City's natural environment. i y 15 MW rm ,rl i% ;.f. }r a J•sp' c.r y�� 7 r �, 5 N �q;.r 1'f '�F:1",XdCIA"� 1'{Y r r.� j r r '{ r:he r,'11... 1 rS,�'Ct,J,:.+�, "+•(�.�r'� Sr� i i}.t ,f, ��..:� •,;' !' _p^,i'{ »Sitc. y:,'Y�r 3"p t.

This i contribution is a measurement of the resources' value in each of six roles: health and safety (physical well- a being) , ecological (environmental well-being) , economic, recreation, amenity (emotional, sensual, and psychological well-being) , and uniqueness. Each resource can "score" from U to 2 points in each category with 2 being "signi- ficant" and 0 being "slight". (A sample evaluation matrix is contained in the Appendix) . The higher the total "score", the greater the potential contribution of the resource. The ranking of resources, based on the combined opinions of Planning Commissioners and Staff, is indicated in Figur4 3-5. (As with the open space standards defined in Section 3.1.1, these conservation criteria are not meant to establish absolute values. They are designed only to provide an evaluation system which enables the City 1 to identify its most important resources so that they can j be conserved . ) i d4 j The final phase of the evaluation system involves deter- mining how much influence the City has over each of its resources. To most effectively allocate public action, i the Conservation Program must channel energy into areas i where City policies will have the greatest impact. There- fore, as illustrated in Figure 3-6, City influence or Q! i efficacy for all resource categories is measured on a scale of 1 to 3 with 3 being "slight" and 1 being "extensive 3.2.2 Priority Resources for Conservation The results of this two-fold analysis. suggest a set of priorities based on resource contribution to community life and City efficacy, All resources are important and interrelated. But because their impacts and implications transcend political boundaries and jurisdictions, the Conservation Program must realistically accept the fact that there is a limit to the capability of the City to influence an environment which must be viewed on a regional or national or international perspective. That is, there are some things beyond the City's scope of authority. The priorities itemized in Figure 3-7 reflect that realization.

Identifying the resources to be in- cluded in the program and allocating relative importance to each one, these priorities give both scope and order to the environ- mentalplanning program. The next step includes organizing this information under the directives of the goals and policies statement into a conceptual open space and conservation plan. � I 20 ,� t. t� a t �a�: �'� ,Q , i � '•U � {� nb�j iS,{� 'i - t{" "��f�"� }�y nY��� d' $� f " .Y t.j !�";�, �`�' .", , r1' + r •t t + ,{ •• '1 t pp'� 7 r 'S' 3 :i •'} ra 1 �,✓� `� f ,, S, r r tv f R'`� r �1+'[ %f �p 4i�J t' n� rq �!!•,8. p ; .Iwf} 19 Sy•F' +([���C!�1'' ''� 3tY'.�A�P.',, � !! ,r�v:'�P'l�'}J.,}7 f'!�p{r y.t, 41 1 1r �.i, , �f lr�.Y r" ,r .g4'.�lt+ ,`r„1.

In an effort to channel Staff activities into the most desirable approach as early as possible in the planning process, three alternative open space and conservation concept plans were developed and presented to the City Council and Planning Commission for review and comment. These concept plans represent a preliminary attempt to combine open space and conser- vation goals with the detailed environmental data obtained from a comprehensive analysis of its natural resources and offer three different approaches to environmental management in the City. Alternative A presents a "minimal plan" relying solely on existing and proposed facilities and programs. Alternative C outlines? an "ultimate plan" which maximizes preservation and conservation of natural resources. Between these extremes is Alternative B which presents a. "moderate plan". Fully detailed j in Open Space and Conservation Plan Alternatives (May, 1974) , i thessa alternatives are rev ewed on the following pages. l ® 4.1 Alternative A: Minimum Plan Depicted in Figure 4-'1, this alternative involves only existing and currently planned programs. No new areas are identified for II open space nor would this plan require adoption of additional environmental ordinances. , 1 r.

Thirdly, under this alternative existing open space and conservation programs would also be continued r• (e.g. Capital Improvements Program, Coastline Study, Archaeological Study, and the Santa Ana River Greenbelt Plan) . Finally, existing open space and conservation ordinances would continue to be utilized. This plan designates six open space and conservation r' categories: recreation area, resource preserve, neigh- borhood park, water area, resource production, and trail. , Recreation Area: applies to all public and private 1' park and recreation areas that are communitywide' or regional in nature. (Neighborhood parks are excluded C' , from this category.) This classification is intended for large open areas and active recreation facilities. Resource Preserve: applies to land set aside primarily for the protect on of natural resources. c ' I Neighborhood Park: applies to small, local open space areas des gne -or neighborhood use. Water Area: applies to salt and fresh water areas considered for both conservation and recreation purposes. Ct Resource Production: applies to land primarily devoted to managed production of resources. Trails: applies to bicycle trails. Undesignated areas are assumed to be urban.

Though the alternative plans presented in this report are not specific, a general cost-benefit analysis is developed for each one based on economic formulas developed by Orange County 11 and the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) . While the figures used in this document are not precise, they will be useful as a tool for comparing different plan alternatives. The total cost to the City for acquiring and developing all projects listed would be $19.6 million and maintenance would amount to about $98 million from 1976 to 1990. On the other side of the ledger are the revenues and ® user benefits derived from the Alternative A program. Fees and taxes generated by all open space uses total about $44.7 million; and using formulas developed by Orange County and SCAG, $672.9 million of user benefits might be derived from this plan. Of course, these user •1 benefits do not accrue directly to the City; but they ' are accumululated by the community as a whole and are, � r � 23 1 ® LQ C s ��pyyr�• ,��r,s _ � � },� 4Ny�{4 r+���i'�''� �� .,! ?�.,'�;;il}.��1"'''j'If �•}`�r,•'�,�''.,�lt.•'•'�;� did af� +�%r�+��,t''�;i'� !i .'�v �d,M r!

(These figures do not take account of the fact that Alternative A would cause considerable over-use and crowding of planned facilities which could detract significantly from the value of user benefits. ) Tabulating a "balance sheet" for Alternative A comparing $117 .6 million in costs to $717.6 million in benefits reveals a net gain to the community of $600 million and a net cost to the City of $72.9 million. (These figures do not account for the possible loss of natural resources not preserved under this alternative, however; and such a cost could be considerable. ) 4 .1.3 Analysis v^; Each alternative plan discussed in this report has implications other than economic ones, of course. And many of the implications stemming from Alternative 11 A result from the assumptions upon which this plan is f; built. This alternative assumes, for example, that the r ` City has a minimal responsibility for the fate of the environment and allocates to the Free market the disposition of its natural resources. It follows that under this alternative concept open space and conservation programs will not be consciously used as tools to guide growth and shape urban development. r i Overall, this plan does not adhere to the City's environ- mental goals and policies. Tliough total acreage in open space uses would increase, the ratio of acres per person would decrease over time. And though this program might preserve more environmental assets than would survive without any plan at all, many important resources and resource areas may be permanently destroyed. This plan would not arrest the continues decline and general disappearance of natural habitats and the species which inhabit them though it would protect the most vital part of the Bolsa Chica. This plan would not greatly affect the aesthetics of the community nor would it remove an excessive amount of land from the private sector. 4.2 Alternative B: Moderate Plan ' G Figure 4-2 outlines a "moderate" open space and conservation plan that relies on both public and private activities to support a program considerably more extensive than Alternative A. 4 .2.1 Explanation Encompassing all existing and planned open space and C { 24 3 i II I T �,tiff".• —, ,... �—i i.��r J. -r J.r..

To accomplish its objectives it depends upon the actions of other governmental jurisdictions and private developers in addition to actual City expenditures. Thi.: plan, which does not preserve all identified resource areas, would be supported by strict policies, regulations, and ordinances designed to incorporate zonservation measures into day-to--day development activities and thus mitigate the impacts of such developments on the environment. This plan designates eight open space and conservation categories: scenic corridor, recreation area, resource preserve, neighborhood park, water area, resource production, trails, and planned open space development. Scenic Corridor: linear area protected from disharmonious development or preserved in a natural state; includes � scenic highways and open space greenbelts. Recreation Area: applies to all public and private park and recreation areas that are communitywide or regional in nature. (Neighborhood parks are excluded from this ® category. ) This classification is intended for large open areas and active recreation facilities. Resource Preserve: applies to land set aside primarily for the protection of natural resources. Neighborhood Park: applies to small, local open spar:e areas designed =or neighborhood use. Water Area: applies to salt and fresh water areas considered for both conservation and recreation purposes. Resource Production: applies to land primarily devoted to managed production of resources. Trails: applies to bicycle and equestrian trails. Planned Open Space Development: applies to special re- source areas, permitting open space uses and other kinds of uses which maximize open space benefits by incorpo- rating natural resources into the development plan. Undesignated areas are assumed to be urban. Awl 25 �r. CMjy ^ 17 ._J `Y.r •r f+g5� C w h. aY t + r•. _ r r nwt. , � ,- U !• 5r7 �'i >y' '7 ) } ,.a•,�.( �i) +✓qll' T. �A..' 'i ��r. ! ,':. S.

The total cost for C, l acquisition, development, and maintenance is about $150.6 million. Municipal revenues generated by this i � proposed program over the same period would total $38.3 million assuming fees per acre are similar to existing open space uses. If new kinds of revenue generating recreation facilities are incorporated into �Q is the plan, though, municipal revenues would be considerably I ` 26 7 Tn m"t'r.T..'76 g; "'7�,.'tq Nil! IV, .1 ry�.* "J".. y I zi.Ili'! I.; :.J.1 te,i higher. User benefits from locai and regional facilities are estimated at $672-5 million and benefits from miscellaneous facil-kries -- bicycling, horse: riding, and scenic highways -- total $502,775. When these statistics are compared, net community benefit (Total Benefits minus Total Cost) from Alternative B equals $560.7 million and net municipal cost (Total Cost minus Total Revenues) equals $112.2 million over a fifteen year period. As with Alternative A, these figures disregard the loss of resources not protected under this plan. 4.2.3 Analysis Several pertinent assumptions underlay the development of this alternative proposal. First, it presumes that the city is responsible for its natural resources and that it should play an active part in conserving and preserving them when possible. In a similar vein, it is an assumption of Alternative B that natural resources have intrinsic value and should ,be preserved for future generations. The responsibility for preservation rests with both private and public capabilities. Based on these assumptions, Alternative B accomplishes many of the goals set forth in the Phase I open Space and Conservation Element. The plan provides for a variety of open space and conservation needs including active and passive recreation, scenic enjoyment, cultural enlightenment, resource production, and nature reserve. By relying on strict ordinances and regulations, however, it provides for these needs without commitment of municipal finances; and by requiring special development standards in vital open space areas (e.g. , Balsa Chica) , resources can be preserved through private developers without loss of property tax revenues. Alternative B would provide a higher open space ratio than Alternative A and would result in 12.23 acres/loOOO persons by 1990. About 3.6 acres/1,000 persons would be provided by city-owned facilities. 4 .3 Alternative C: Ultimate Plan Q This proposal, illustrated in Figure 4-3, represents total incor- poration of the City varied natural and cultural assets into a. comprehensive conservation program. It encompasses all priority areas identified by previous background reportG and would be reinforced by a broad range of new open space and environmental regulations.

Open space areas were identified by locating vacant or undeveloped acreage which contained valuable resources -- valuable in regard to State-- established, categories of open space for natural resources, open space For managed production of resources, open space for outdoor recreation, and open space for public safety. Priority resources for conservation were established by a criteria judging their potential health and safety role, ecological role, economic role, recrea- tion role, and uniqueness as well as the degree of influence the City can exert over their future utilization A major objective of this plan is to incorporate environ- mental concerns into the decision-making process through i expanded environmental ordinances and requirements. This would include strong conservation measures in subdivision ' and development coder, an extensive internal E.I.R. ' process, strict adherence by all departments to adopted X goals and policies, and extensive public information programs. This plan designates seven open space and conservation categories: Scenic Corridor: linear areas protected from disharmon- ious development or preserved in a natural state; includes scenic highways and open space greenbelts. Recreation Area: applies to all park and recreation' areas that are communitywide or regional in nature. Resource Preserve: applies to land set asid3 primarily for the protection of natural resources. Neighborhood Park: applies to small, local open spare ar as des geed for neighborhood use. C ; Water Area: applies to salt and fresh water areas cons derec for both conservation and recreation purposes. Resource Production: applies to land primarily devoted to managed production of resources. Trails: applies to both bicycle and equestrian trails. Undesignated areas are assumed to be urban. The acreage contained in each category is itemized below: 28 1 Scenic Corridors Greenbelts 8 mi. Highways 12 mi. Recreation Areas Community Parks 106 ac. Central Park 435 ac. Bolsa Chica Park 547 ac.

Though they do represent a consistent rationale and include factors for inflation and changing social behavior, they nevertheless are only crude tools for predicting major costs and benefits for large-scale ® programs over time. To arrive at the estimations presented on the following pages, the "ultimate" plan was divided into three phases: 1976 to 1980, 1981 to 1985, 1986 to 1990. Costs during each phase were escalated to reflect a five percent per year inflation rate so the total cost estimate e 29 f of $234 million reflects actual dollars not 1975 dollars. This amount includes acquisition, development, and maint- enance expenditures. As with the other proposals, offsetting these costs are City revenues and user benefits from the plan. These revenue factors were also divided into phases and adjusted for inflation. Income to the City was escalated five percent per year and user benefits increased by 6.5 percent a year (as established by Williams-Kuebelbeck) . The resulting computations reveal over $42.6 million in revenue excluding potentially greater revenues from new types of recreation facilities) , and $673 million in user � benefits to be derived from Alternative C. This results in a net gain of $481.3 million to the community and a net cost to the City of $191.6 million. ; I 4.3.3 Analysis The comprehensive open space - conservation program set t forth in Alternative C is based upon three major assump- tions: 1. The City is responsible for its natural resources and must take an active role in conserving and preserving them; r 2. Natural and cultural resources have intrinsic value and should be protected for future generations as well as the present; and 3. Open space is a useful tool for guiding growth and shaping urban development. Alternative C accomplishes the goals and objectives established in the Phase I Open Space and Conservation Element and provides for a variety of open space and conservation needs: active and passive recreation, scenic and cultural enjoyment, resource production, and A preservation of natural areas. This plan increases total open space acreage as acres per person remain relatively constant. Relying as it does solely on fee title purchase to secure important open space and conservation areas, this plan --- while maximizing the City's environ- mental assets -- would remove many hundreds of acres from tax liability thereby reducing City income. On the other hand, by decreasing the supply of developable land, it would save the City considerable cost for servicing any urban uses on that property. And relying on public acquisition does insure the protection of these resources in perpetuity. 3 0 � f �i 4.4 Conclusion Figure 4-4 presents a statistical summary of each plan alternative presented on the previous pages. It reveals, as might be expected, that the more comprehensive the program is, the higher the cast will be. Surprisingly, however, it shows a decreasing "community benefit" corresponding to expanding programs. This is a result of the statistical method used which does not account for de^..teasing benefits from over-used facilities. Additionally, many costs and benefits have not been or cannot be evaluated in terms of dollars. Examples include costs from loss of resources not preserved; benefits of resources preserved; revenues lost from precluded development; expenditures saved by precluded development; aesthetic values; benefits derived by residents outside the City and perhaps most significantly, fees generated from revenue-producing recreation development. These factors suggest that decision- making should not be based solely on the cost figures presented. Rather, an open space - conservation plan must be based on community needs balanced by economic costs. ® It is apparent that Alternative A requires the least expenditure of municipal funds. Relying solely on existing and currently planned programs, it also provides the least protection to open space and natural resources. As a result, it does not correspond to the stated open space and conservation goals of the City. Alternative D requires higher municipal expenditures but provides more extensive protection to the City's natural assets. This program relies heavily on other jurisdictions and on private activities controlled by strict development ordinances. Its objective is to protect fragile resources by ordinance instead of acquisition. Therefore, while the total open space ratio B provided by this plan is 12.23 acres per 1,000 persons (compared to 9.56 acres under Alternative A) , City-owned acreage is only 3.6 acres per 1,000 persons. This is just slightly more than that provided by Alternative A. Alternative C represents the ultimate open space and conservation 40 plan and also the greatest municipal investment. By preserving all identified priority resources, this alternative is in keeping with the City's goals and policies and would increase total open space considerably over Alternatives A and B. City-owned open space would be increased to 7.77 acres per 1,000 persons. 0 4.5 Achieving Consensus The problem facing the City is to provide the greatest possible protection for its natural resources at a reasonable and acceptable cost to the community. 'though least expensive in terms of dollars, Alternative A would be prohibitively costly in terms of ® loss and damage to the environment. This fact should probably 31 10 Lo 1t i FIGURE 4-4 OPEN SPACE - CONSERVATION PLAN ALTERNATIVES C014PARATIVE ANALYSIS `p ALTERNATIVE ALTERNATIVE ALTERNATIVE A B C COST: AN Acquisition Costs 12,106,240 21,074,765 62,319,114 Development Costs 7,544 ,753 17,051,414 37,283,094 Maintenance Costs 98 ,015,387 112,493,250 134,753,897 TOTAL 117,666 ,380 150,619 ,429 i34,3561105 I BENEFIT: Municipal Revenues 44 ,715,284 38,340,761 42,661,422 User Benefits Local Facilities 318,025,200 318,025,200 318,025,260 Regional.

A remove that alternative from serious consideration. Alternatives B and C could both be considered responsible approaches to environ- 0 mental preservation. While not as extensive a program as Alter- native C, Alternative B does protect most vital resource areas and Promote establishment of meaningful municipal conservation legislation. Alternative C, the ultimate plan, is actually the "best" in relation to the City's open space and conservation goals. Because it relies almost completely on municipal ownership, it 0 guare tees preservation of vital assets. For the same reason, however, it is the rust expensive of the three alternatives; and the cost might make:: the program unfeasible. When these concepts were presented for review, the Planning Stuff recommended that the City's final Open Space and Conservation Plan 4 combine the assets of both Alternatives B and C - specifically, maximum protection of resources through a coordinated program of public ownership and strictly enforced open space and conservation ordinances. It was felt that such a plan could accomplish the City's environmental objectives by utilizing all its authorized powers instead of placing the total burden for environmental 0 protection on the municipal treasury and the taxpayer. The City Council favored a less comprehensive plan than recommended by the Staff. Alternative B was preferred because it protects the most vital resource areas while keeping costs within an acceptable range. Alternative C was ruled out due to the excessive ® costs involved. It was agreed, however, that Alternative B could be expanded provided that methods of preservation other than public acquisition are employed. The Planning Commission was in general agreement with Staff recommendation. It was agreed that Alternative A was not acceptable because it failed to meet basic open space and conservation needs in the City. It was also agreed that while Alternative C was in keeping with adopted goals and policies, � it was probably not within the realistic capabilities of the City to implement it. On the other hand, the Commission felt that by ' combining regulatory tools with acquisition, a plan more extensive ® than Alternative B could be accomplished. It was also suggested that the City's adopted open space and conservation goals and policies be reviewed in .Light of the findings presented in this report. In short, it ;;as concluded that the final plan represent a fairly extensive program based on both regulation and acquisition. p In regard to the specifics of the three alternative plans, the Planning C+ommisssion Subcommittee raised several points: r. 33 • i 1. Agriculture should probably he removed from the plan i.n I view of economic realities. 2. On-road bicycle trails should be transferred to the Circulation Element and expanded. The open Space and Conservation Element should emphasize off--road recreational trails. 3. Open space priorities should be modified based on development imminence. 4. More consideration should be given to the use of special open space development categories. With these directives in Rind, work began on formulation of the Final. Open Space and Conservation Plan. rL' I i �D � 1 34 .. ......__.. VOW `. t I I 5. 0 PARRS ANP LYSIS In order to develop a final Open Space and Conservation Plan ® that satisfies the goals and objectives listed in Section 2. 0, review of the City's existing program of recreation and parks was necessary since this existing program nerves as a base for the final plan. after the recreation and parks program was evaluated for adequacy in meeting the needs of all segments of the community, an Open Space and Conservation Plan could ::hen be developed that 15 truly responsive to the needs and wants of '{ the community. This section of the Element focuses on the City's { existing program of recreation and parks --- whether the goals and objectives underlying the existing program are still meaningful and how the City is meeting these goals and objectives through existing programs. 5. 1 Methodology The parks z--.nalysis was performed on a step-by-step basis. First of all, the Muster Plan o:: Parks, Open Space, Schools and I ; y 35 ., 0 r+ ! Recreation was evaluated for its adequacy in guiding development of a balanced recreational system in Huntington leach. Secondly, 10 the Capital Improvements Program was analyzed because of its relation to the Master Plan as an implementing tool. Next, an inventory of existing and proposed parks was conducted, followed by an assessment of existing and ultimate park demand. Proceeding in sequence, the next phase of the study was to analyze all information assembled up to this point. Specific tasks were as follows: (1) Evaluate park site locations and type of facility (either neighborhood, community, or regional., as recommended by the Urban YAnd Institute and specified by the Master Plan) (2) Comparison of park supply and demand under existing conditions and at ultimate development. (3) Evaluate effectiveness of the community's recreation program by determining the level of park use. With the preceeding material as a base, conclusions were then drawn on the adequacy of the City' s existing program of recreation and parks in meeting needs. Conclusions are broken down into two categories: f n (1) Goals and objectives - Are the goals and objectives of the Master Plan still meaningful? Is the City's Parks Program meeting these goals and objectives? (2) Park requirement standards - Are existing standards viable for assessing park demand? C The last phase of the Parks Analysis was to express recenmend- ations, directed towards making the City'd existing recreation program responsive to the -needs of all segments of the community. I 5.2 Constraints I `~ Certain informational constraints were encountered in performing the Parks Analysis. These considerations should be kept in mind when utilizing this study. 5.2.1 Non-Availability of Data Accurate user counts do net exist for the bulk of the parks in the City. Without accurate: counts, it is difficult to assess the extent to which local parka; are being used. Field surveys were conducted to partially overcome this problem, however. Certain assumptions could then be made about the level of park use in Huntington Beach. 36 a � e w 10 �y. 5.2.2 Population Projections The population projections included here are based on today' s conditions. Therefore, these projections should be considered estimates only as they do not take into account future changes in zoning and family composition, nor future annexations. These variables will effect the future population of the City but the extent cannot be precisely known at this time. 5.3 The Master Plan of Parks, Open Space, Schools and Recreation This plan was adopted by the Huntington Beach City Coun- cil in 1966 with the intent of developing a balanced recreational system, emphasizing the neighborhood park. it is being discussed here because it has been used in the Parks Analysis as a criteria for judging the adequacy of existing and proposed park supply in meeting demand. The specific goals and objectives of the Master Plan are as follows: . Provide a well-balanced recreational program for the citizens of Huntington Deach. Implement the Urban Land Institute recommendations. . Provide a sound basis for purchasing park sites by establishing criteria for the type of recreation, site location and space required. . 69herever possible, loco to neighborhood parks adjacent to school aites. Acquire at least three recreation centers, a municipal golf course, and a central city lake and natural area.. ® . Purchase land for parks, open space and recreation prior to development. . Utilize all financing programs that are available to the City. I . Coordinate the County's regional park plan with the City' s plan for parks, open space, schools and recreation. i . Continue the coordinated recreational program with the school districts. .�1 y Re-evaluate the Parks, Open Space, Schools and 0 Recreation Element on a periodic basis. The goals and objectives of the Master Plan reference certain recommendations made by the Urban Land Institute for Huntington Beach. These recommendations are summarized below: P% (1) Provide several small neighborhood parks in contrast to providing a few large community parks. (2) Locate park sites adjacent to school sites. 5.3.1 Classification of Facilities The Master Plan outlines four types of facilities: (1) neighborhood parks en (2) neighborhood playgrounds (3) community parks (4) regional parks A distinction is made between neighborhood parks and playgrounds. A park, whether neighborhood, community or regional in character, is essentially a passive form r of outdoor recreation. In contrast, the playground is an active form of recreation. It provides equipment which permits a wide range of normal play activities. 5.3.1.1 Neighborhood Parks G• The Master Plan states that a neighborhood park should be centrally located within a neighborhood. In addition, j the park sho,!.Id be adjacent to a school whenever possible so that both facilities can be combined to provide a more functional facility. The design should be free- flowing and able to accommodate all age groups; however., C parks should be planned primarily for children from five to fourteen years of age. The service area .for a p neighborhood ark is a one- quarterg mile radius.

The Master Plan of Parks, Open Space, Schools and Recreation recommends that playgrounds: (1) provide a wide range of normal play activities; (2) provide places for preschool children to play under the supervision of an adult or older child; (3) occur in the center of neighborhoods adjacent to elementary schools; n (4) occur where children will not have to cross poten- tiallyhazardous areas (e.g. , railroad tracks, arterial highways, commercial/industrial areas) . fThe size of a neighborhood playground is dependent upon the population of the neighborhood. Figure 5-2 details the recommended playground size. 5.3.1.3 Conununity Parks Community parks are designed to serve several neighbor- hoods. They are planned for youths and adults, and provide for a wider range of activities than the neigh- ! i borhood park or playground. The Master Plan recommends that a community park be 15 to 20 acres minimum size,' and provide facilities for indoor and outdoor activities. The community park requirement is 1.25 acres of park land per 1000 population. � I i 5.3.1.4 Regional Parks A regional park provides for special recreational activities. It supplements other recreational facilities G located throughout an urban area. The service area is approximately 30 to 40 miles. Development standards for regional parks are not set forth by the Master Plan of Parks, Open Space, Schools and Recreation. 5.3.2 Joint Venutres The City's recreation program is a cooperative effort. Under an annual agreement (entered into by the City of Huntington Beach and the local school districts) , the parties agree to cooperate with one another in c� 40 e �73 :r M t Figure 5-2 NEIGHBORHOOD PLAYGROUND SIZE PLAYGROUND NEIGHBORHOOD POPULATION AREA 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 Persons Persons Persons Persons Persons i Total Acres 2.75 3.25 4.00 5.00 6.00 Acres Per 2.75 1.63 1.33 1.25 1.20 1000 Persons i (As recommended by the American Public Health Association Committee on the Hygiene of Housing) a i ' F N ems.------ s f,. �r organizing a�► conducting a joint program of community recreation. The school districts make available to the City: K a. All permanently operated playground areas that are I suitable for community recreational activities. These areas are to be selected by the Director of Recreation and Paris of the City of Huntington Beach and approved by mutual agreement of the City Administrator and the Superintendents of the pertinent Districts; b. Other selected school facilities for community recreational programs under the same method of s selection as set forth in "a" above; c. Use of school facilities in accordance with pertinent district policies in granting permits for non-school use of facilities; and d. Schedules for use of said facilities for community i recreational activities to be established by the Director of Recreation and Parks and approved by pertinent D.iotrict Superintendents or designated- representatives. In return for the use of local school facilities, the City provides materials and supplies for community { recreation programs. In addition, certain equipment ! and supplies provided as part of the school program or , by the Recreation commission are inutually interchanged � r for the common use of both parties. Theschool districts provide custodial and maintenance services for all school facilities utilized for community recreation programs. Correspondingly, the � Recreation Director selects and provides qualified G !, personnel to conduct recreational activities and events which take place after school hours, on weekends, and during holiday and vacation periods. 5.4 Capital. Improvements Program L. The Capital Improvements Program is an implementing tool of the Master Plan of Parks, Open Space, Schools, and Recreation. The program contains a list of capital improvements that the community will need within a specific time period to provide the desired level of recreation service. The projects to be under- taken are assigned a tentative data for execution in order of � priority, and a probable cost, 42 AS, � ....... r A C, 1� t 'Y t, 0 In general, the long-range capital improvements program: (1) Assures that projects are carried out in accordance with pr--determined priorities of need and the community's ability to pay; (2) Permits the advance acquisition of real estate needed for improvements in a favorable price market; (3) Indicates which unused municipal property acquired from tax sales should be retained for future use rather than be sold. 0 Because of changing conditions, a periodic review and possible adjustment of the Capital Improvements Program is advisable. The emphasis of the Master Plan, as discussed in Section 5. 3, lies with the neighborhood park. As a result, the Capital Improvements Program, which is an implementing 4001 of the Master Plan, has effected a recreation program with like emphasis, stressing the neighbourhood park. Conditions in the City have changed considerably since 1966 when the Master Plan of Parks, Open Space, Schools, and Recreation was first adopted. Although periodic evaluations of the Master Plan have been conducted, the need for a comprehensive review of the Master Plan and accompany- ing Capital Improvements Program is recognized. This review will insure that the City's recreation program is responsive to the needs and desires of residents. 5.5 Background Data a This section of the report discusses the City's recreational areas existing and proposed. An inventory of parks is included, recreational areas other than parks are listed, and demands for parks by population is calculated. I� 4 5. 5.1 Park Inventory An inventory of all existing and proposed parks was conducted to determine the extent of the City's recreational facilities (see Figures 5-3, 5-4, and 5-5) . The framework within which the inventory was performed involves: a. Computation of gross acreages for all existing parks; b. Use of the Capital Improvements Program to determine $ acreages for proposed parks. 43 k ® i +1 I j I I Figure 5- IWENTORY OF EXISTING PARKS Acres Acres Ireased Acres Park Name ID No. Acquired Or Under Joint Developed (gr.acs) Powers (gr.acs) (gr.acs) NEIGHBORHOOD I Schroeder 700 2.4 2.4 Gredr 705 10.3 10.3 Irby 710 11.0 3.0 Wardlow 720 2.3 2.3 Recreation 725 3.0 3.0 Center Lake 730 4.0 1.8 5.9 Farquhar 735 3.0 3.0 %ope View 740 3.7 3.7 Lebard 745 3.4 2.0 5.4 Perry 750 2.2 2.2 Gisler 755 1.2 11.0 12.2 Eadhr 760 2.9 2.9 Oak View 770 2.5 2.5 G Sun View 785 2.6 2.6 Chris Carr 790 12.2 12.2 Circle View 800 2.0 2.0 Clegg-Stacy 805 3.5 3.5 Harbour View 810 3.5 3.5 Lake View 815 3.0 3.0 College View 820 2.5 .5 3.0 Bushard 825 2.5 2.5 Seabridge 830 3.5 3.5 Lark View 840 2.5 .5 3.0 Arevalos 850 3.0 3.0 Springdale 855 2.0 2.0 Golden View 860 2.7 2.7 44 l�r U t r ''� ' {. +y� ,i', .Pi',r` t •R.}�h.

This figure was computed using the Special Census of November, 1973 as a base. Monthly building reports provided by the City s r Department of Building and Community Development were s, C used to update the 1973 population figure. P Using an average ark standard of 2.0 acres of neighbor- ` hood park and 1.25 acres of community park per 1000 population, current park need is computed as follows: Neighborhood Park: 13 w ' 147,873 persons x 2.0 gr. acres/1000 pop. 295.74 gr. acs. i Community Park: 147,873 persons x 1.25 gr. acres/1000 pop. = .184.84 gr* acs• A general standard for neighborhood park need is used ` here. This is because the population estimate is a composite figure for the City as a whole and is not I� broken down by neighborhood. An accurate account of park demand would, therefore, be difficult to obtain using the graduated standards from the Master Plan as C' these standards are based on the population of the i neighborhood and the various types of dwelling units located within the neighborhood. Without this type of information, then, the Master Plan standards could not be accurately applied because the demand would calcu- G late out below its actual level. I Future population was projected by cataloging existing residential zoning by quarter section. Acreage totals for the various zoning categories were then multiplied by the number of units per acre and then by population per unit (see Figure 5-7) . C Figures 5-8 and 5-9 provide a specific example of how ' neighborhood and community park demands were derived, based on ultimate development of the City under existing i zoning. Figures 5--10 and 5-11 illustrate neighborhood and community park needs for the entire City by quarter section at ultimate development. t 52 Y n C I k,, t + + r r •'f ! �" Y a ,. !1'1'!4 1�, r� { ' � w ��: �i i i f + try ti +' r � �., 1Y5, '1 t�G t�, a '�2, `S +, r� r� 1 � (; .�. � , :'}�'v� ;'�' ar,� !M a •i�" � y'r••1 w!

The ULI was to evaluate the City's assets and liabilities, A and determine the proper course to pursue in improving the City's image. The ULI conducted an analysis of existing recreation areas and planning efforts. in Huntington Beach. They advised the City to provide several small neighborhood parks in contrast to providing a few larger community parks. The ULI felt that smaller i parks provide a_ wider ,.spread and more complete coverage. Furthermore, certain regional facilities already existed to help serve the broad recreational needs of the City -- the beach and a 300 •acre regional park in Fountain Valley. As part of the ULI analysis, the best locations for neigh- borhood park sites were examined based on existing neigh- borhood park facilities, existing and proposed school sites, and available land. Certain quarter sections in the City were not examined because one or more of the following conditions existed: • a . a school site, either existing or proposed, did not exist in the area: b. a park facility or site already existed in the area; c. the area was completely developed and no land was available; or d. the property was zoned or used for other than resi- dential use thereby precluding the necessity of a neighborhood park. Those quarter sections not deleted from the analysis due to existence of one of the previous four conditions were considered to have potential for the establishment of a neighborhood park site and were classified according to prior-ty. The basis for the assigrunent of priority was as follows: a. High Priority (1) the existence of a school site in the particu- lar neighborhood; G (2) the availability of lard in the particular neighborhood; t f: } ..,.... A�._,. .,.A3:.rn A (3) the number of people that would be accommodated (4) its compatibility with existing and future land use; and (5) its orientation away from arterial highways. High priority was assigned to quarter sections master planned for residential uses with development expected in R the foreseeable future. b. Medium Priority (1) the existence of a school site in the particu- lar neighborhood; C (2) the availability of land in the particular neighborhood, but not necessarily adjacent j to the existing or proposed elementary school site; (3) the number of people that would be accommo- dated (with emphasison futurepopulation) ; and (4) its compatibility with existing and future land use. G, Examples of quarter sections assigned medium priority status were those master planned for industrial use but likely to be developed residential because of surrounding uses. Medium priority was also assigned to quarter sec- tions within pi.,nned developments but not yet developed. `. When development took place, a re-evaluation of priority status was to take place. C. Low Priority (1) the existence of a school site in the particu- lar neighborhood; (3) the availability of land in the particular neighborhood; (3) the number of people that would be accommo- dated (with emphasis on future population) ; and (4) its compatibility with existing and future land use. _. Low priority was assigned to quarter sections where devel- opment was not expected in the foreseeable future. If the status changed, a re-evaluation of priority status was to take place. It appears that many neighborhoods were excluded from the ULI analysis that were most in need of neighborhood park facilities: those neighborhoods where a school site (existing or proposed) did not exist. The existence of a school site at least guarantees that neighborhood children have a playground to use. However, provision of park - land in the City has not been governed entirely by the recommendations of the Urban Land Institute. - If the need for park land existed, a park site was planned whether or not a school site existed in the neighborhood. An updated Master Plan of Parks, Open Space, Schools, and Recreation is shown Jn Figure 5-12. Certain proposed school sites included in the Master Plan have since been deleted by the school districts due to a decrease in the school population, as originally projected. Parks will continue to be developed in these locations, however, as long as demand justifies provision of the park land. 5. 6.2 Supply and Demand • A comparison of supply and demand was made by utilizing the background data contained in Section 5.5 The comparison is broken down into two parts: existing conditions and long-range projections. 5. 6.2.1 Existing Conditions 5.6. 2.1.1 Neighborhood Parks Comparing existing demand for neighborhood parks with current supply, a deficiency of 168 acres results. Existing Demand 147,873 persons x 2.0 gr. acs/1000 pop. = 295.74 gr. acs ® Existing Supply 127.60 gr. acs Differ ice 168.14 gr. acs A shortage of neighborhood park acreage is not uniform throughout the City, however.

This figure of 169 acres is somewhat misleading, as it is based on park demand computed from a general park standard - 2 acres per 1000 population. (Em- ploying general park standards is a customary method • of computing park demand.) This kind or standard, however, does not take into account many features which help to satisfy neighborhood park demand in Huntington Beach. These, features are: a. private recreation areas b. schools without adjoining park ?and c. community and, regional facilities. 5.6.2.1.2 Community Parks • A general standard for community park requirement is set forth in the Master Plan of Parks, Open Space, Schools, and Recreation. This standard of 1.25 gross acres per 1000 population is used to compare demand fcr community parks with supply: • Existing Demand 147,873 persons x 1.25 gr. acs/1000 pop = 184.84 gr. acs Existing Supply 58.40 gr. acs • Difference 126.44 gr. acs Kcdording to tkiis *general standard, the demand for community parks exceeds supply by 126 acres. Again, this figure is probably inflated to some extent due to the existence of certain factors not accounted • for by the general park standard: a. private recreation areas b. schools without adjoining part: land � ® C. regional facilities. Nevertheless, a shortage to any degree is considered critical due to the kind of facilities that com- munity parks provide. Ball fields, courts for tennis, handball and basketball - these are all 61 N' w�+.rlw• �.� ■■// III.,� `.; �� • `�••�rM 1111 r • r •. 1 t�.

The figure of 30 acres was computed by comparing ultim- ate park needs (Figure 5-10) with ultimate supply • (Figures 5-3 and 5-4) . This is an overall compari- son and does not reflect the surplus of neighbor- hood park land that will exist in certain quarter sections (see Figure 5-14) . Nor does this compari- son consider the other recreation facilities not accounted for by the general formulas used to • compute neighborhood park demand, as listed in Figure 5-1. Community park, demand will exceed supply by approxi- mately 254 acres. Ultimate demand will be 329 acres while supply will be limited to 75 acres. Again, • keep in mind that this comparison is based on a general park standard which does not accounts for certain recreation facilities which help to satisfy park demand (e.g. , private recreation areas, schools without park land, and regional facilities) . d 5. 6.3 Park. Use Figures on park usage can be used to determine the effectiveness of a communtiy recreation program. The Huntington Beach Department of Parks and Recreation keeps a monthly user count for Hunting- ' • ton Central Park, community parks, and organized sports. No counts exist for passive and other forms of recreation occurring in neighborhood parks, however (e.g. , picnicking , open play, children' s play) . Activity at several neighborhood parks was observed by Planning Department personnel to make up for the lack of actual user counts.

A park with limited equipment and a rolling terrain appears to receive less use than a park with multi-use playing fields I and flat terrain. ' During lunchtime, neighborhood parks (particularly those on arterials) are frequented by people enjoy- ing their lunch in the outdoors. On $.he .whole, however, passive use appears to be minimal. The most commonly used areas of neighborhood parks ±� seem to be the tot lots, picnic areas, and tennis �.. courts (when provided) . it was also observed that I'I parks adjacent to elementary schools do not seem f to experience the high use expected from this loca- tion. ;=I 5.6.3.2 Community Park Use Community parks in Huntington Beach experience heavy use due to the facilities provided. Special- ized courts and playing fields are in constant ' demand. The community centers experience heavy use, especially from organized activities and group meetings. 5. 6.3.3 Regional Park Use Huntington Central Park is classified as a regional park. it combines passive and active recreational areas, providing various forma of recreation not found in neighborhood or community parks in Hunting- ton Beach (e.g. , fishing, boating, and nature study) . Park use since opening day in June, 1974 has averaged approximately 41,000 reaple per month. The highest usage was experienced in July 1974, 41 when approximately '72,000 people visited Huntington Central Park. 65 UV i i I I i t� T f 2 5.7 Conclusions «1 5.7.1 Goals and Objectives In the interests of making the best use of recreational facilities in Huntington Beach, it is important to know whether the goals and objectives of the Master Plan (as listed in Section 5.3) are still meaningful; and if so, its the City's narks program meeting these goals and objectives. ARE THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE MASTER PLAN STILL MEANINGFUL? For the most part, the goals and objectives identified for 1!► Huntington, Beach are still meaningful. An exception does exist, however, regarding a statement of intent which reads: "Implement the Urban Land Institute recommendatiais." The ULI recommended that the City provide many small neighborhood parks, in contrast to a few larger community parks, because this approach would provide a wider spread and more complete coverage. Conditions t� in the City have changed considerably since these recommendations were made. Consequently, the community might be better served by a recreation program which emphasizes the community park and active recreational pursuits rather than the neighborhood park and passive forms of recreation. G Based on the preliminary analysis of park usage conducted by the Planning Department, it appears that neighborhood parks are not being used to their full capacity. On the other hand, cortununity parks, stressing active forms of recreation like tennis, handball, and baseball, are experiencing very heavy use. (There are some facilities within the neighborhood parks, however, which are C. experiencing a desired level of use. These facilities are tot lots, picnic areas, and baseball diamonds and tennis courts, when provided. ) These observations on park usage lead to the con- clusion that the public wants more action areas and recreation centers instead of grassy areas with rolling topography and minimal landscaping. This would mean focusing on the acquisition r and development of community parks to reduce the current deficiency, a deficiency that will continue to increase as the population of Huntington Beach grows. The above discussion is based on the preliminary analysis of park usage conducted by the Planning Department. In order to determine just what action should definitely be taken, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of park use. By so doing, meaningful action can then be taken. L 66 L �f S IS THE CITY'S PARKS PROGRAM MEETING THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES? The existing program of parks and recreation is not entirely consistent with the goals and objectives of the Master Plan in that it does not provide a balanced recreational system for the City of Huntington Beach. The recreational program does provide a variety of facilities for use offered within neighborhood, community, and regional parks, but the emphasis of the program clearly. lies with the neighborhood park and passive forms of recreation. A possible need for change in emphasis in the City' s Parks Program has been identified previously. Even if the present emphasis on neighborhood parks was considered desirable by this preliminary study, the existing program still leaves many neighbor- hoods without adequate neighborhood park facilities (now and at ultimate development) while other neighborhoods experience a surplus. (See Figures 5-13 and 5-14. ) A need for further study is recognized, however, before sound, meaningful conclusions can be drawn. I' 5.7. 2 Park Requirement Standards The analysis of park aril recreation facilities in Huntington Beach points up a major problem in the exist- � ing park requirement standards. The park standard used to compute existing demand for neighborhood parks reflects a deficiency of 168 acres. However, field investigations show that neighborhood park use is far below capacity. This leads to the conclusion that exist- ing neighborhood park standards should be revised to reflect the real desires of the citizenry regarding neighborhood parks as opposed to community and regional facilities. And even when using the general park stand- ard for community parks, it is obvious tLat the supply of community parks with active recreational areas is much too limited 0 - Existing deficiency is 126 acres. Deficiency at ultimate development will be 254 acres. It must be kept in mind that these conclusions are based on a preliminary analysis of park use. A comprehensive study of park use is still needed before meaningful action can be taken. B 67 ao � v 5. 8 Recommendations . In the interests :of making the bent use of recreational facilities in Huntington Beach, the following recommendations are being made: 1. Conduct a comprehensive analysis of park use and the cost- effectiveness of the parks system, to be initiated by the City's Departments of Planning and Recreation and Parks. r The present- program of parks and recreation, with i emphasis on the neighborhood -park, is costly and should be reworked if facilities provided under the program are not being used as intended. 2. Conduct a citizen survey seeking feedback on the physical attractiveness and enjoyability of recreation facilities. t� Such a survey will aid in making the parks program more responsive to the needs and desires of residents. C. v 3. Increase the flexibility of the standard for development of - neighborhood parks - 5 acres per 1,000 population - upon which the schedule of park fees is based. The required number of acres of neighborhood park could be reduced to the degree that coif-munity and regional park acreage is available in the vicinity. Community and regional parks, even though they help to satisfy neighborhood park demand, are not presently considered in "he assessment of neighborhood park supply and demand. This is why the City is overloaded with recreation facilities in some areas and lacking in others (see Figure 5-5) . 4. Increase control over where park fees are spent so that parks are sited in close proximity i:o the location paying the fees. L This will insure that direct benefit is accrued by the neighborhood contributing to the facility. 5. Consider the possibility of improving landscape treatment of neighborhood parks when reassessing the Parks Program, to increase their physical attractiveness and enjoyabiiity. More shaded areas, greater seclusion, and greater separation between recreational activities could then . be provided. 6. Consider providing more flat areas within neighborhood parks when reassessing the Parks Program to permit active recreation. • I i I I o I , I ' 6.0 OPEN SPACE AND CONSERVATION PLAN The Open Space and Conservation Plan provides for the conservation and preservation of natural resources, resources having intrinsic value for present and future generations (see Figure 6-1) . The plan is in keeping with the Goals and Policies Statement, and relies on other jurisdictions and private actions controlled by ordinance instead of acquisition in the conservation and preser- vation of resources. 6.1 Objectives The overall objective of the Open Space and Conservation Plan is to conserve open space in adequate amounts to preserve t!+e environmental amenities which emh.c;dy the quality of life in Huntington Reach. Underlying this overall objective are six additional objectives , more limited in scope, which spell out what the Open. Space and Conservation Plan is designed to accomplish ill more specific terms: (1) To identify vital open space areas, not already preserved through public ownership, where special attention and specific, plans should be directed. (2) To establish priorities for natural resources based on their endangeredness. 1° t :k (3) To protect fragile resources by reliance on ordinance instoad of acquisition. (4) To maintain all existing recreation areas as permanent open space lands. (5) To expand the existing recreation system to prevent overuse of existing facilities. (6) To guide urban development to be harmonious with the natural environment, especially where scenic features or hazards to public safety exist. 6. 2 Explanation The final Open Space and Conservation Plan is based on the moderate plan discussed iii Section 4.2 (Alternative B) . The plan encompasses all existing and planned open space and conservation programs as well as several additional projects. To accomplish its objective, f% the plan depends upon the actions of other governmental juris- dictions and private developers in addition to actual City expendi- tures. Strict policies, regulations, and ordinances designed to incorporate conservation measures into day-to-day development activities will support the final plan, and thus mitigate the impacts of such developments on the environment. G The Open Space and Conservation Plan designates eight open space and conservation categories: scenic corridor, recreation area, resource preserve, neighborhood park, water area, resource production, trails, and planned open space development. Scenic Corridor: linear area protected from disharmonious ' C development or preserved in a natural state; includes scenic roadways 3.nd open space greenbelts. ' Recreation Area: applies to all public and private park and recreation areas that are community-wide or regional in nature. C (Neighborhood parks are excluded From this category) . This classification is intended for large open areas and active recreation facilities. i ` Resource Preserve: applies to land set aside primarily for the protection of natural resources. Neighborhood Park: applies to small, local open space areas designed for neighborhood use. Water area: applies to salt and fresh water areas considered for both conservation and recreation purposes. � 70 w 1 i 3 i �T A ,r �I Resource Production: applies to land primarily devoted to managed production of resources. Trails: applies to equestrian trails. Bicycle trails will be deal`t with in a separate element of the General Plan. Planned Open Space Development: applies to special resource areas, permuting open space uses and other kinds of uses, including residential, which maximize open space benefits by incorporating natural resources into the development plan. The Open Space and Conservation Plan also identifies seven specific plan areas - vital open space areas not already preserved where special attention should be directed. Priorities have been established for the specifid plan 'areas according to en- i dangerbdness. High Priority: areas where valuable resources exist, as identified, ' and development is imminent, making expeditious planning important. 1. Seacliff: includes the 600-acre Seacliff Planned Community and the bluff to the northwest, along the City boundary. Valuable resources exist in this location: archaeological sites, the bluffs, vista points,. and mineral resources. Approximately 50% of the planning area is still vacant and requires a specific plan to guide future urban development' to be in harmony with the natural environment. 2. Meadowlark: includes Meadowlark Golf Course, Meadowlark ® Airport, and surrounding property, much of which is vacant. The City now owns the golf course and some adjoining property. Pressures continua to grow to close down the airport, which could subsequently develop as residential under existing zoning. A specific plan is needed in this location to insure compati- bility with the golf course - :. recreational open space resource - and the other natural resources in the area (e.g. , tree stands, archaeological sites, the bluffs) . Medium Priority: areas where development is foreseen, but one or both of the following conditions exist - development pressures are lower than the areas in the high priority category, and/or the resources contained within the area are not as significant. 3. Santa Ana River: includes the Santa Ana River channel and adjoining vacant land - the property at Brookhurst and Hamilton and the Edison easement. The river provides both water and scenic resources and is planned as a regional ® recreation corridor. Specific planning of this location Aft 71 r� will be phased according, to existing pressures. Phase 1, in the short--term, will focus on the vacant property at Hamilton p and Brookhurst, and the Edison easement. Phase 2, over the long-term, will focus on the river itself, at which time the alterations of the Santa Ana River channel , a minimum of 10 years off. 4. Santa Ana River Marsh: includes the property at the mouth of the Santa Ana Rive now owned by the California Department of Transportation. This area provides unique vegetation, wild- life habitat., and scenic vistas. It also suffers flood and seismic hazards. Cal-Trans intends to sell the property, but sale is being delayed pending completion of the Southeast Orange County Transportation Study. City jurisdiction over �k this property is minimal. Nevertheless, special attention is needed in case the property is returned to the private sector or public ownership is maintained and recommendations for use are solicited. 5. Beach-Adams Area: includes the property at Beach and Adams harboring many important resources to be contained within an 18-acre park site and 10-acre flood retarding basin. These resources include historic and archaeological sites, the bluffs, marshlandst and tree stands. Fault traces also exist in this location. Special attention is required to ensure ' that development within the specific plan area blends C' harmoniously with the natural environment. Low Priority: areas where there are valuable resources, as identified, but development pressures are at a low level. If the level of development pressure should change upward, a re- evaluation of priority would be conducted. In the case of the Bolsa Chica and Northwest Bolsa Chica (now assigned low priority status) , a reclassification into the high priority category would be initiated. 6. Bolsa Chica: includt ,:t the property in the Bolsa Chica be- tween the two bluff .11nes, excluding the property under State ownership or lease agreement. Contained within the planning area are numerous valuable and unique resources: wildlife habitat- V.stinctive vegetation, archaeological. sites; scenic, h At-,� ,cic, and mineral resources. It also suffers flood anti s Asmic hazards. Ongoing oil operations in this valuable resource area maintain development pressures at a low level. Consequently, specific planning of this locatio is assigned low priority status. 7. Northwest Bolsa Chica: includes the property in the North- west Bolsa Chica between the bluffline and City limits. This property, under County jurisdiction, is presently used for r agricultural purposes. It contains several valuable open 72 lull II m space and conservation resources: the bluffs, tree standri, w historic and archaeological sites, and scanic and mineral reso»rces. Fault traces also exist here. This property, together with the Bolsa Chica Specific Plan Area discussed previously, is owned by Signal Properties and requires a comprehensive plan before any development can take place. Annexation into the City of Huntington Beach would also be * necessary prior to development. Both these factors, in com- bination, act to suppress development pressures, giving this property a low-priority status for the development of a specific plan by the Planning Staff. Areas not designated within an open space/conservation category, nor contained with a specific plan area, are assumed to be urban. 6.3 •Implementation Opportunities for preserving open space and conserving resources 0 are many and varied. This section of the Element•. presents a program employing the most feasible methods for huntington Beach. The program combines regulatory tools and acquisition, stressing preservation of open space through regulation of development rather than 'through municipal ournership. 6.3. 1 Open Space and Conservation Program In keeping with the Goals and Policies Statement, the following pages set forth a program to preserve local open space and conservation resources for future 3enerations, resources that might otherwise be lost to 40 urban development. Preservation Through Regulation I. Utilize development zoning (e.g. estate and cluster j zoning) to preserve open space within private developments. Z. Utilize natural resource zoning to restrict develop- ment in hazard areas and areas used for production of resources. 3. Continue to impose subdivision controls through ordinance. Existing regulations govern: a. Development layout b. Public improvements ® C. Park dedication and park fees 73 A `� J d. Landscaping e. Grading. 4. Regulate development in the interests of open space preservation through an Open Space Zoning ordinance, governing development of areas specified in the Open Space and Conservation Plan (Figure 6-1) . The ordinance would be broken down into three resource categories, establishing development standards and an overlay district for each. The categories are listed below: a. Natural Resource Areas of severely restricted or no.develop- ment. Resource areas within this category, as shown on the plan, are as follows: - Water area - Resource preserve Scenic corridor - Resource production - Archaeological sites i - Landmark sites. C;? I b. Outdoor Recreation ! Permanent open space lands, no development permitted: i - Water area - Recreation area Neighborhood park -- Equestrian trail. �. Natural Hazard C Areas of restricted development due to the existence of natural hazards (e.g. earth- quake, flood) . Preservation Through Acquisition u 5. Continue to acquire open space with full ownership rights through purchases, condemnation, or donation. Methods for acquiring open .space with full rights to the land include: 74 1 I I, l a. Eminent domain b. Installment or negotiated purchase c. philanthropic donations ® d. Transfer of ownership among public agencies e. Multi-functional condemnation. (Multi-functional condemnation involves the purchase of more land than is actually required for a specific public project and preserving the excess as open space.) Acquisition of full rights to the land is probably the most dependable means of preserving open space. It is by far the best method of preservation for . vital resource areas because it given the City total control of the resource area and its ultimate fate. 6. Investigate the feasibility in Huntington Beach of transfer of development rights and the "land bank" approach as methods of open space preservation with full rights to the land. (Transfer of development rights is a procedure whereby the development potential and value of an open space area is established by the owner and the City. The development potential is then transferred to a portion of the subject property, and the development rights are sold to a developer, thereby allowing the original owner to liquidate his capital interest. The remainder of the acreage is assigned to a community land trust, and, if desired, the original owner could rent back the property for a nominal fee. The "land bank" approach, also referred to as advance land purchase, involves purchase of open land which is planned and later leased or sold with certain specified development rights. ) 7. Employ "Less Than Fee Ownership" techniques to preserve open space in Huntington Beach. Such techniques (e.g. easements and leasing) allow the City certain rights and controls over property without having to secure actual ownership. (Cases where these techniques could be employed include equestrian i� trails, ceniy roadways, and Edison easements in comb nat on u, th park land. ) 75 Financing Open Space Acquisition 8. Utilize all financing programs available to the A City far open space preservation. Existing and potential methods of financing include: a. Parks tax b. Development gees c. Federal and State programs offering financial assistance d. Philanthropic donations 04 e. Bond issues Im2ravement of Recreational Facilities 9. Conduct a comprehensive analysis of park use and the cost-effectiveness of the parks system, to be initiated by the City's Departments of Planning and Recreation and Parks. 10. Conduct a citizen survey seeking feedback on the physical attractiveness and enjoyability of C recreation facilities. 11. Increase -the flexibility of the standard for development of neighborhood parks - 5 acres per 11000 population - upon which the schedule o:: park fees is based. (The required number of acres of neighborhood park could be reduced to the degree that community and regional park acreage is avail- able in the vicinity. Community and regional parks, even though they help to satisfy C neighborhood park demand, are not presently considered in the assessment of neighborhood park supply and demand. ) 12. Increase control over where park fees are spent so that parks are sited in close proximity to the C . location paying the fees. 13. Consider the possibility of improving landscaping - treatment of neighborhood parks when reassessing the Parks Program, to increase their physical attractiveness and enjoyability. 76 I I` q b 14. Consider providing more flat areas within neighbor- hood parks when reassessing the Parks Program to permit active reaction. 6.4 Cost Considerations • A general cost analysis for the Open Space and Conservation Plan is presented in Appendices 1 through 10 and summarized in Figure 6-2. The analysis ig based on economic formulas developed by Orange County and the Southern California Association of Governments (SLAG) . It is important to note that these figures are estimates only. They do include fi.gures ' for • inflation and changing social behavior, but are nevertheless only crude tools for predicting the major costs and benefits of a large-scale program over time. To arrive at the estimates listed in the Appendix, the final plan was divided into three phases: 1976 to 1980, 1981 to 1985, and 1986 to 1990. Acquisition costs during each phase were escalated to reflect an eleven percent annual inflation rate. Development and maintenance costs during each phase were escalated at a slightly lower inflation rate of eight percent annually. (Infla- tion, rates .are based on information provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Department of Labor. ) As a result, 0 the total cost estimate of $156.2 million reflects actual dollars and not 1975 dollars. This amount includes acquisition, develop- ment, and maintenance expenditures. Revenues and users benefits to be derived from the Open Space and • Conservation Program are detailed in Appendices 4 through B. Appendix 4 discloses that fees and taxes generated by all open space uses will total about $82.1 million (based on an eight percent annual inflation rate) . Appendices 5 through 8 analyze the $583.1 million of user benefits that would be derived from this plan: $583.0 million from local and regional activities Appendices 5 and 6) and $76,555 from miscellaneous sources (horse • riding and scenic roadways, Appendix 8) . Of course, these user benefits do not accrue directly to the City; but they are accumulated by the community as a whole and are, therefore, important to the City decision makers. • Appendix 9 presents a "balance sheet" for the Open Space and Conservation Plan -- comparing $156.2 million in costs over a fifteen year period to $665.1 million in benefits. This results in a net gain to the community of $509.0 million and a net cost to 2 City of $74. 1 million.

First, it presumes that the City is responr.Able for its natural resources and that it should play an active part in conserving and preserving them when possible. In a similar ! vein, it is an assumption of the plan that natural resources have intrinsic value and should be preserved for future generations. The responsibility for preservation rests with both private and public capabilities. Based on these assumptions, the Open Spac6 and Conservation Plan e accomplishes the goals set forth in Section 2.0 of this Element. The plan provides for a variety of open space and conservation needs including active and passive recreation, scenic enjoyment, cultural enlightment, resource production, and nature reserve. By relying on strict ordinances and regulations, however, it provides for these needs without exclusive commitment of municipal finances; d and by requiring special development standards in vital open space areas (e.g. , Bolsa Chica) , resources can be preserved through private development without loss of property tax revenues. Appendix 10 reveals that the Open Space and Conservation Plan would provide an open space ratio of 18.60 acres/1,000 persons by ! year 2000. About 3.88 acres/1,000 persons would be provided by City-owned facilities.
