I-fore detailed design is now needed so work can begin on the improvements. In addition, the redevelopment plan proposed realigning Gothard Street to connect to Hcover Street in Ireatminater, and the posoible creation of a new freeway on and off ramp at Gothard. following up on '..hene propoualo will require a detailed feasibility utudy, drawing of preliminary design plinc and, dincts,,io*ls with the California DeparLm-unt of TrancportaLlon, the south-urn Iacif.ic I:hill-Clad, and the City of Ventmincirr.

Z� Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source,Alternative Actions,Attachments: STATEMENT OF ISSUE: On August 13, 1984 the Redevelopment Agency received the Preliminary Redevelopment Plans from the Planning Commission for the Huntington Center Commercial District and Talbert Gap Flood Control Redevelopment Project Sutvey. Areas, and authorized the transmittal of information to taxing agencies and officials. At that time, staff began preparing the Redevelopment Plan and Draft EIR for each of the project areas. These documents are now complete, and the Redevelopment Agec:ny needs to take action receiving them and directing their distribution. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached resolutions taking the following actions: 1. Receive the proposed Redevelopment Plana and authorize their transmittal to the Fiscal Review Committee, if necessary. 2. Submit the proposed Redevelopment Plans and related documents j to the Planning Commission for report and recommendation. 3. Receive Draft EIR's and authorize publication of notices of completion and availability of the Draft EIR's. 4. Approve and adopt Rults for Owner Partieipation' and Preferences and authorize transmital to City Council. 5. Adapt Relocation Plans. ANALYSIS: Existing redevelopment law defines a blighted area as an area which is characterized by properties which suffer from economic dislocation, deterioration or disuse because of one or more of several specified factors. Two of the specified factors are economic dislocation, deterioration or disuse resulting from faulty planning and the existence of lots or other areas which are subject to being No•ref y • i submerged by water . Senate Bill No. 203 (Hannigan) which becomes effective on January 1, 1985, would delete these two important factors, and would revise the definitions of a blighted area. The revised definitions of blight would add additional language to make it more difficult to establish blight. The Agency would have to show that its project area constitutes a serious physical, social or economic burden on the community that cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed of alleviated by private enterprise acting alone. When this new law becomes effective, it will no longer be possible to adopt a "redevelopment project area .for the Talbert Gap Flood Control Project, which has as its only airs to fund flood control improvements to alleviate the threat of flooding of adjacent properties. It would also become: more difficult to make the required finding of blight for the Huntington Center project, as many of the proposed improvements there are to alleviate conditions caused by peicemeal development in the past. The City has made a strong commitment to revitalizing and making optimum use of its existing commercial areas, and has committed to do all it can to help property owners threatened by flooding from the County's inadequate Flood control channels. These proposed . redevelopment projects would take direct action toward these goals. Adoption of the attachedr resolutions by the Agency are vital steps in completing the processing of the two Redevelopment Projects before the deadline. The Planning Commission will hold public hearings on the Draft EIR's prior to approving their report and recommendations to Council on the Redevelopment Plans. The Agency will also hold public hearings on the Draft EIR's as well as joint public hearings with City Council on the Redevelopment Plans prior to their adoption. FUNDING SOURCE: None needed ALTERN&TIVE ACTIONS: Do not adopt the attached resolutions. In this case, adoption of the redevelopment plans will not take place on schedule. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

It has been prepared in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) , the Califotnia Community Redevelopment Law, and the City of Huntington Beach's adopted procedures for the preparation, processing and review of environmental documents. Unlike most projects, a Redevelopment Plan does not, by i itself, implement any specific development. The Plan is the implementation vehicle to allow future development. It does not involve a change in the General Plan or other ' existing land use controls. Establishing •a Redevelopment Project Area creates a mechanism For eliminating blight, and a means for financing various redevelopment activities, such as public works improvements. The subject of the : 1 Environmental Impact Report is the environmental impact expected to occur as a result of establishing the Redevelopment Project Area (which includes a number of physical development proposals) . Thio report addresses both the beneficial and adverse effects of implementing the Redevelopment Plan. 1.2 SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS A summary of the environmental impacts associated with the Redevelopment Project is presented in Table 1. Impacts of both the public improvements and private improvements are summarized in the table. Refer to Section 3.0 of this environmental document for detailed descriptions of environmental sitting, impacts and mitiagation measures. i (1044d) -1- Huntington Center EIR i TABLE 1 SUMMARY OF PROJECT IMPACTS AND MITIGATIONS IMPACT SUMMARY DEGREE OF IMPACT MITIGATIONS 301 GEOTECHNICAL RESOURCES Potential for erosion during cut, S/M Earthwork operations fill and grading operations should be performed during the dry season.

The proposed Project Area totals approximately 160 acres including Huntington Center, One Pacific Plaza and surrounding commercial uses. The Project Area is generally bounded by the San Diego Freeway and McFadden Avenue to the north; Beach Boulevard to the east; rothard Street, the Edison right-of-way and the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way to the west; and Aldrich Street and a line extending east/west approximately 660 feet south of Edinger Avenue to the south. The Old World Village and Seawind Apartments located within this boundary are excluded from the Project Area (see Figure 2) . t 2.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT The Huntington Center Commercial District Redevelopment Plan is intended to revitalize and assist optimum util).zation of an existing commercial area which is characterized by blight and therefore eligible for redevelopment assistance. New public improvements and upgrading of inadequate public facilities will encourage private investment in renovating and expanding commercial uses in the project area. The combination of public-private investment will increase the tax base of the community, provide new employment opportunities, improve the visual and aesthetic character of the Project Area, facilitate traffic and pedestrian circulation and enhance property val-je& in surrounding neighborhoods. I 2.3 PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS The Project Area encompasses the Huntington Center shopping mall as well as a number of smaller retail centers along the south side of Edinger Avenue. It also includes One Pacific Plaza and an area north of McFadden Avenue devoted to recreational vehicle 4 storage and a Technical. school.The Edison right-of-way and high tension lines bisect the site from east to west and form a portion of the western site boundary. The existing commercial sites along the south side of Edinger are characterized by visual clutter, excessive curb c-)ts which impede traffic flow, a lack of landscaping and aesthetic treatment, circulation problems, and poor pedestrian access. To the north, One Pacific Plaza suffers from difficult access from the freeway, from Huntington Center, and from, Ldinger Avenue. f 2.4 PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS The fi,;lowing improvements are planned for implementation within the Project Area.

This study represents an investigation of fault displacement; earthquake shaking; liquefaction, lurching and differential compaction; tsunamis and eeiches; peat and organic soils deposits; expansive clays; beach erosion; land subsidence; and groundwater. Portions of the Geotechnical In2uts report are included in the following discussion. Local Geology; Primarily as a result of the intensive petroleum exploration effort within the City , subsurface geologic conditions are wll known in their general aspects down to depths of about 10,u00 feet. Structurally, the sedimentary bedrof:l: beneath the City can be divided into three different regions: (1) a relatively simple faulted offshore anticline, (2) a complexly folded and faulted central portion (the Newport-Inglewood Structural Zone) , and (3) a relatively undeformed northeasterly-dipping flank on the northeast side of the Newport-Inglewood Structural Zone . Recent deposits (those deposited within approximately the last � 15,000 years) have been only slightly disturbed by faulting and folding. Beat and Expansive Soils: The Project Area may lie over a layer �. of peat ranging from 1 2 to 5 feet in depth. Most of the project area site has already been developed with commercial structures. No soil problems were encountered during construction of these structures, and no subsidence has been experienced since construction. Expansive Clays: Major deposits of clay having a ' moderate-to-high expansion potential are located within the inland areas of the north half of the City, including the Project Area. The soils in this area. are primarily clays, clay looms, and clay adobe with percentages of clay particles ranging from about 20 to 42 percent. Expansive clay soils can cause damage to lightly loaded structures, pavements, driveways, sidewalks, canal linings, etc, due to volumetric changes associated with increases or decreases in moisture content. Soil engineers can identify potentially f expansive clay soils by means of laboratory tests. Seismicity: Much of the City of Huntington beach is situated in close proximity to fault zones which trend in an east-west direction across the southern part of the City. The Project Area is not near any of the known or suspected faults that have been charted within the City (See Figure 3) • (1049d) . .. -11- � ... . . _ Huntington Center EIR�w�_�� Figure 3 DM 9 DEAN •r j• �� LEGEND rM 19.6.10•SEC714N•TOWNSFIIP•RANGE 16.5.11 15.5.11 14• 11 OG .•.. ilk! �DM17 ''' OM22-DISTRICT kW22 1 24.5.2 �• 19 •I1;•;•;�;•, 0•S•II 21.5•11 21.5.11 23.5•II 24.5.11 OM 28 ' DM 1;•;;t;•;; 23 DM 24 Dld 25 Y DM25 DM 27 1, I !0• �; J11;; 27-5-11 26.5.11 25.5.11 iDIM 35 ` ' • •�}•:'. ;•p`R Did 32 DM31 DM.0 . .. • • . . • 'C�375.11 •1��;� h� f. y;ll 35.5.11 3G�5•II DM.7 D •+;•�i;•, , D 39 OM39 y WA40 --- 5•6•11 6,-11--•'- 3.6.11 2.6.111 1.6.11 6.6.10 �•GIO 11M4 ••DM4 DM3 DM2•.'

OM29 `+ '13 22 i Jan 1,1976 i I HUNTINGTON BE4CH C4LIFORNIN FAULT MAP PLANNING DIVISION ` Liquefaction and Lurching: [luring an eaarthquake, the resulting ground shaking will tend to compact loose deposits of some soils. If the soils are saturated with water, the compaction process will result in an increase in the pore water pressure in the soil. With the increased pore pressure, the water within the soil will tend to flow upward which may in turn reduce the integrity of the soil deposit, sometimes causing ground cracking and lurching. "Lurching" is a change of the ground surface due to a loss of strength in underlying strata. The likelihood of liquefaction occurring depends on many factors, including differences in the compaction of the soil layers, the nature of the soil, the depth of the deposits, and the depth of the water table. Areas of saturated peat and organic soils, overlying sandy ! ► deposits may be at-eas of high liquefaction potential. Some portions of the iroject Area could be subject to these conditions (see Figure 4) . Each site needs to be evaluated individually to determine which of the factors contr-buting to liquefaction (e.g. , groundwater level, soil type, relative density) are present. ?.1.2 Project Impacts Construction Impacts: Construction of the proposed project would involve minor cut, fill and grading operations. Excavations and grading operations would be .susceptible to erosion if they were left unprotected during a heavy rainfall. Use of normally accepted. erosion control techniques (see Mitigation Measures) would minimize this potential problem. Due to the flat topography, the erosion potential in the redevelopment area is low.

Seismic Hazards: There is a high probability that the. Fe—development area would be subjected to ground shaking during the design life of the improvements due to regionally active faults. Severe ground shaking could result in extensive damage to sewers. storm drains, roadways, parking facilities and :they structures if they are not properly designed. There is some potential for secondary impacts resulting from ground shaking in the redevelopment area. Such impacts include liquefaction, lurch cracking, lateral spreading, anu differential se%:tlement. 3.1.3 Mitigations Measures Project improvements, including founda'tOn support and roadways should be designed to resist the effects of ground shaking, expansive soils, acid liquefaction. Earthwork operations should be performed during the dry weather M season, where possible, to avoid the potential for soil erosion 1 during construction and to decrease the likelihood of trench i stability problems. i Construction sites should be revegetated or repaved as soon as ' practical after project completion. ` If expansive soils a.e encountered, a qualified soils engineer should be consulted when designing the improves..ants. i ( 1U44cj1 -1�-- }lUnttr�c�t.��n Crnt�r E:I}t . 3.2 HYDROLOGY 3.2.1 Environmental Setting Drainage: Drainage within the Project Area is heavily influenced by the existing urban development and infrastucturp. Most runoff travels by overland flow toward the catch basins and drop inlets along the citJ* streets. In some areas, runoff is conducted in open drain culverts. This includes Murdy Channel f (C5--SC2) , a concrete lined channel which runs along the north side of Center Drive and then parallel to the Standard Pacific railroad tracks. Further south, this channel joins with the Orange County FlooO C-ntrol District's Wintersburg Channel (C-05) . The water is then discharged into the Bolsa Chica i wetlands. The City's Master Plan, of Drainage does not include any �. proposals for future drainage improvements within the Project Area. Flooding: The northeast corner of Beach Boulevard and EdingerAvenue as we21 as the area south of Edinger Avenue lies within Flood Zone A0. This area would be subject to flooding from a 100 year flood. The owners of these properties are required by lenders to participate in the Federal Flood Insurance Program. The remainder of the Project Area lies within zone B. This zone would be subject to flooding of less than one foot during a 100 year flood: The property owners are not required to participate in the Federal Flood Insurance Program. Groundwater: The City of Huntington Beach obtains a large portion of its water from groundwater sources. On site percolation is low clue to the low percentage of permeable land within the Project Area. There are no wells located on the site; however, wells HB6 and HB 10 are locted immediately south �f tt•- area. Water Quality: Surface water quality in the Project Area contains contaminants typical of an urban environment - sediments, organic debris - heavy metals, and petroleum hydrocarbonr.. Existing storm water runoff enters the storm drainage sy-5tem where it eventually reaches the Balsa Chica wetlands. 3 .2 .2 Project Impacts j The Redevelopment Plan does not include any provisions, for additional storm drain capacity within the Project Area.

( 1044o) -1G- 1JU1)t1rrcrtvn Center 1:11, i The anticipated improvements within the Project Area would not result in any increased flood hazard, nor are they expected to affect groundwater volumes or quality. Construction activity and the additional traffic generated by the Center 's expansion would incrementally increase sediments and roadway contaminants introduced to waterways through runoff. 3.2.3 Mitigation Measures Revegetation should occur as soon aspossible after construction. Earthwork should occur only in the dry season. In addition, all future development within the AO flood zone must comply with the FP2 standards contained in Article 969.6 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. These standards regulate the elevation and floodproofing of new structures. 3.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES + A biological assessment of the Project Area was prepared by Michael Brandman Associates in 1984. The report, entitled "Biological Resources Assessment for the Huntington Center Development Project", includes a description of the environmental setting, impacts and mitiagation measures. The report is contained in the Appendix, Section 11.0 of this document. 3.4 CULTURAL RESOURCES AND ARCHAELOGY 3.4.1 Environmental Setting The Project Area does not contain any significant cultural or archaeological resources. Furthermore, it has beEn previously graded and developed, and very little area remains unpaved. A 1973 report on existing paleontological, archaeological, and historical sites within Huntington Beach by Archaeological Research Incorporated did not identiff any sites within or near the Project Area boundaries. 3 .4 .2 Project Impacts There will be no project impacts upon cultural or archaeological resoures.

The report is contained in the Appendix, section 11.0, of this document. 3.8 LAND USE AND PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 3.8.1 Existing Setting Land Use: The Project Area is an approximately 160 acre parcel, roughly bounded by the San Diego Freeway, Eeach Boulevard, Edinger Avenue and Gothard Street. (The Seawind Apartments and Old World speciality shopping center are excluded from the Project Area) . The area includes the Huntington Center regional shopping wall, adjacent commercial uses and One Pacific Plaza, a mixed use development located north of Huntington Center. Huntington Center includes three major department stores - The Broadway, J.C. Penny and Montegomery cards - which provide a total of 584,345 (gross) square feet of ccmmercial area. The interior of the mall includes more than 50 stores providing a total of 142,427 square feet of gross leasable area. Satellite stores, located in the parking lot of the mall, account for E�.i additional 111,943 square feet of commercial use. The total gross leasable square footage for Huntington Center is 838, 715 square feet. Strip commercial uses are located along the south side of Edinger Avenue. Typical development includes pr• �ared food, banking and con• umacle and durable goods sales. Many of these commercial use are separated from Edinger Avenue by large parking lots. flumerous curb cuts along the street provide access to the individual parcels. One Pacific Plaza is a mixed use development loc.- ted north of Huntington Center . Current development includes a six-!;tort' office butldinq and two restaurants. A parking :structure, a :six story off ice buildincl and a four Story nrt-dical building are- prerjently unclear cvtantruction.

( 1044d) -1 F3- hunt '.n(1totl Ci-,ntl�•r 1:11t it Non-commercial uses within the Redevelopment area include a small parking lot used by Goldenwest College located on the northeast corner of Gothard Street and Center Drive. This parcel has been recently been purchased from the College District by the Orange County Transit District. Orange County Transit District has ppoposed to develop a Transportation Center on this site. The center will become a transfer point for twelve bus lines, a "park and tide" facility, and may possibly include an interstate service line. Southern California Edison Company, the Southern Pacific Railroad and Orange County Flood Control District have major easements with the Project Area. The railroad line runs in a north-south direction thru the Project Area along the western boundary of Huntington Center. The Orange County Flood Control District channel parallels the railroad. The Edison Company easement runs along the northern boundary of Huntington Center and then turns north and parallels the railroad tracks. There are high voltage overhead transmission lines within this easement, and the land below is either in a natural state or has been leased for nursery use. A small triangular parcel located north of McFadden Avenue is j presently ueing used as a storage facility For recreational vehicles. There is also a small ;'ethnical School located on the site. Surrounding land uses include Goldenwest College to the west and additional commercial uses along the south side of Edinger Avenue and the Beach Boulevard frontage. The area along Gothard Street, south of Edinger Avenue comprises the city's industrial corridor. Surrounding residential uses include singly-family detached homes north of McFadden, northeast of the San Diego Freeway and south of Edinger Avenue behind the commercial uses. Multi-family units are located adjacent to Old World shopping center and south of Edinger Avenue behind the commercial uses (See Figure ( 1044d) -19- Huntington Ci:ntur 1;Ili Figure' 5' SINGLE FAbLILYl CCI�Pi. comm.

The General Commercial category allows for the development of convenience and neighborhood commercial developments, community shopping centers, regional shopping centers and highway related commercial uses. In addition, hotels, motels, and office professional uses are permitted. The property north of Huntington Center has been designated as Mixed Development. Allowable uses in this category include retail and speciality commercial, office/professional, hotels and motels, residential, public facilities, light industrial uses, open space and recreational facilities. The Public, Quasi-Public, Institutional category allows for uses that are necessary to support the community by providing educational, cultural ano functional opportunities. , Huntington Beach has designated a total of 11235 acres of [. land for commercial use. The Project Area represents approximately 13 percent of; all commercially designated land within the city. Zoning is generally consistent with the General Plan (See Figure 7) . Zoning categories include C4, C2, CF-E, R1, RGS, 141 and North Hunting Center Specific Plan. Huntington Center and a majority of the land south of Edinger Avenue are zoned C2-Community Business District, which allows for a wide variety of retail and service uses. The southwest corner of Edinger Avenue and Beach Boulevard is zoned C4-Highway Commercial District. Permitted uses include motels and hotels, and professional services and offices. A small triangular parcel lo.:ated along the western boundary of the Project Area is zoned CF-E, Community Facilities-Education, and is presently used as additional f , parking for Goldenwest College. The Edison Company right-of-way is designated RI-Low Density Residential ane. ROS-Recreational Open Space. The Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way is zoned Ml, which permits light manufacturing facilities. A small triangular parcel north of McF'addei, is also zoned M-1. North Huntington Center Specific Plan is the zoning for the property bounded by Huntington Center , the San Diego Freeway and Huntington Village Way. Permitted development includes professional and medical offices, hotel and restaurants. 3.� .2 Impacts Land use impacts can re--ult from either the prapot;ud private development or iram the proposvd public improvements which corn-prise thy,- Redevelo4,munt Plan.

Land use impacts associated with the Center's expansion, both additional anchor stores and a parking structure, are largely beneficial, resulting in enhanced economic attraction for the Center and the adjacent commercial uses along the south side of Edinger Avenue. The expansion of Huntington Center will not dislocate any of the existing commercial establishments on the Center 's property. The provision of parking within the Southern California Edison Company easement will require a zone change on the property from the existing designation of RO5 to an appropriate commercial zone. Public Improvements in the Redevelopment Area: Public • project related land use impacts would result from the proposed roadway improvements along Gothard Street, and I-405 southbound off ramp at Beach Blvd. As noted in Section 3.5 Traffic and Circulation, the proposed extension of Gothard Street to Hoover Street may result in adverse land use impacts. The extension would include a grade separation with I-405 and a possible partial interchange to/from the north. The most practical alignment for the extension would appear to be west of the railroad tracks, however, that would lie within the City of Westminster limits on the north side of McFadden Avenue. If aligned along the east side of the railro--d tracks, it would most likely require the removal of residences as well as commercial properties. There is a potential to expand the Center Avenue interchange to provide a direct connection to the Huntington Center from the sou%;hbound I-405 on and off-ramps. The construction of such a connection would most likely rec-uire retaining walls because of the grade differential between the parking lot and Center Avenue. However; the construction of a direct connection tram the freeway to Huntington Center will not require the removal of any existing commercial structures within the Center . 3 .8.3 Mitigation measures The City of Huntington Beach it; required to implement relocation assistance programs for displaced residents, tenants and business persons in accordance with the California Relocation Assistance Law and Community Pedevelopment Law. 3.9 VISUAL QUALITY (1t) it)c3) -:? )- iiunt�n�2korr Cr•rrtcr i:Iit 3.9. 1 Environmental Setting The visual character of the Redevelopment Area is predominantly urbanized with built structures constituting the major landscape elements. The commmercial core of the area -- Huntington Center and the strip commercial along the south side of Edinger Street -- consists of structures of varied mass and scale, generally having a low height of one to two stories. The tallest buildings in this area are The Broadway and J.C. Penny's, which are both three stories high and the Mercury Savings Bulling located on the south side of Edinger Avenue. There is oa common signage or architectural theme evident within this area. Huntington Center has recently installed a coordinated signage systetin for the major vehicular entrances to the mall. The area located north of Huntington Center is known as One Pacific Plaza. Present site development consists of one six-story office building and two restaurants, with a second six-story office building and a four gory medical building under construction. Additional development has been approved for this site, and will include a 23, room hotel, a 12 story office building, a 2 story office building and parking structures containing 1688 parking spaces. Edinger Avenue is the major vehicular corridor within the Redevelopment Area. Overhead wires and utility poles create visual chaos along the street. The numerous traffic signals and the Standard Pacific railroad crossing contribute to the confusion. An abundance of signs of various types, shapes and sizes, added to the poor design of many structures combines to create visual blight along this street. There are scattered street trees along Edinger Avenue, but they are not visually dominant. There are landscaped medians along this street which contain flowering shrubs and textured paving. A temporary tree.farm within the railruad right-of-way adds additional greenery within the area. Perhaps the most visually dominant element within the Project :area is the high voltage transmission lines located in the Edison right-of-way north of Huntington Center and east of Gothard Street. The land underneath the towers remains in a undeveloped state, characterized by brush, grass, and scattered debris. 3.9. 2 Project Imjaacts Public itrprov(?mcnts <tivnq Utlinger Avenue would have primarily beneficial impacts on the overall ae!;thc?tic character of the Project Area. keducing tr.aftic congestion, underyrMltldinci the: overhead utility lines anet (1044d) -25- Euntington Center L:IR t providing additional landscaping would create a more orderly appearance along the street and also establish a visual link between Huntington Center and the commercial uses along the south side of Edinger Avenue. The construction of two additional anchor stores, satellite commercial areas and a narking structure will alter the visual appearance of Huntington Center. The expansion would extend over what is presently the mall's parking lot. The height and mass of such additional structures will alter the view of the mall from both the adjacent streets and the San Diego Freeway. If additional. surface parking is provided within a portion of the Edison right-of-way, the natural brush and grasses would be replaced with parking and landscaping. 3.9.3 Mitigations Architectural and site plan review of the mall expansion and parking structures would be required to ensure that the j building materials, color and architectural style are compatible with the existing Huntington Center. A comprehensive signaye program, should also be required for future mall expansion. 3.10 HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT 3.10.1 Environmental. Setting There are no dwelling units within the Project Area. There are residential uses to the north of the 405 Freeway and within the Old World and Seawind developments which are surrounded by the Project Area (See Figure 2) . Exact employment figures for the Project Area are not ; available however, employment ment generation rakes based on i r P Y 9 ; type of business and existing gross square footages indicate that 45B persons presently are employed within the Project Area. 3.10 .2 Project Impacts There are no dwelling units proposed within the P_ojuct Area. Rerouting Gothard Street under the 405 Freeway to connect with Hoover Streec in Westminster , or relocation of the Edison high voltage transmission lirir!s north of the freeway, could impact some existing residences in that area . The e::act number of dwelling units affected cannot be preciucly identified until specific design stage of the project. The nu*rbt,r of employees within the llroj,�sct Area will be increased as a re .,:-ult of the mad6itional construction which Will Ocuur under the Re:devel.opmi-,nt Ilan. -'riploym,!nt gcneratirn rates indicator that 355 new jobs would 1);2 ( 1044d) -2 6- llutetington CcnLer Ellk �• n created. Adding to the work force in Huntington Beach will ` be a positive benefit to the economic base and sales tax revenue of the City. The additional employment will generate extra traffic, and thus marginally increase noise and air pollution. These impacts were discussed in the circulation section of this report. 3.10.3 Mitigation Measures All households which are displaced through redevelopment activities, will receive relocation assistance under the adopted Relocation Plan as required by State law. The impacts or increased fenployment within the Project Area on circulation, nnise and air quality will be mitigated by circulation improvements proposed by the Plan. Reduced y congestion on surrounding streets will mean less idling and therefore, less emissions. Traffic moving smoothly through the area will also generate less noise from shifting engine speeds. In addition, provision should be made for bus turnouts ?nd • shelters in any new development. Facilities for bicycles should also be included in new development to encourage alternate modes of transportation. Bicycle facilities may include bike paths, bicycle racks, lockers and drinking fountains. 3.11 COMMUNITY SERVICES AND UTILITIES 3.11.1 Environmental Conditions Fire Protection: The City of lluntington Beach Fire Department provides fire service to the Project Area: The closest station is the Murdy Fire Station, which in located aL 16221 Gothard Avenue. The station includes nine personnel; four assigned to a ladder truck; three assigned to a pumper unit; and two assigned to a paramedic unit. The response time from Murdy Station to the Project Area is presently within five minutes 90 percent of the time. In addition, the City maintains automatic aid assistance with the City of Westminster and County of orange. • Polices The Huntington Beach Police Department is located in the Civic Center at Main and Yorktown. This is approximately four miles from the Project Area. The Police Department is currently allocated 201 sworn officers. Scheduling is arranged around a four-clay Work week, with patrolmen deployed by a b,,at configuration . Huntington Center is located in beat 13 and is serviced by an assigned unit With primary bacn-up suj;plied by units assigned to thew adjacent areas,. (1044d) -17- flvntinylorr Ccnt�,r 1:IH t As with most major shopping centers, the cause for most calls for service is petty theft (shoplifting) . The Project Aiea generates approximately twice the number of calls as the average for all areas, with theft the primary reason. Sewer: The Project Area lies within the Orange County Sanitation District No. 3. The area is served by the Miller-Holder Trunk Sewer which discharges to the Huntington Beach Treatment Plant. Water: The Project Area is supplied with water by the City of Huntington Beach ?ublic Works Department. The department obtains its water from local groundwater sources and the Metropolitan Water Distrtict of Southern California. The department has a number of water mains beneath the Project Area streets, including Edinger Avenue (12 inch) , Beach Blvd. (12 inch) , Gothard Street 112 inch) , Center Drive (8 inch) , and Huntington Village Lane (10 t inch) . in addition# Huntington Center is served by a loop �. system of 10 inch lines. The City of Huntington Beach has recei..:ly reached an i agreement with the Standard Pacific Railroad to allow ftr the construction of a water line betwen Gothard and the railroad tracks. This improvement will complete a continuous loop around the perimeter of the Center, and greatly strengthen the water supply for the Project Area. The closest water well to the Proje-t Area is HB lU, located south of Edinger Avenue on Sher Lane. This well ;s capable of supplying 5,000 gallons if water per minute to the Project Area. Parks and Recreation: There are no city or county parks within the Project Area. Schools: There are no schools for:aced within the Project Area. The closest schools are Sunview School, College View School, Glen View School, Gill School , and Goldenuest College. utiliti.Ls: Nat,iral Gas - Natural gas is supplied to the Redevelopment Area by the Southecn California Gas Company. Gas mains are located underneath Edinger Avenue, Center Drive, Huntington Villagc Lane and Gothard Stc'eet. tlertricity - Electricity is supplied to tfle Project Area by the: Southern California Edison Company. Existing facilitic3 include the uvt_,rt ea6 220 kv tranu-niuniun line north of tiuritinrtun Center and 66 kv and 12 kv lines along the soutti G1,1e ni L:dinci(t- AvenuQ and ttie CNISL c ide of Ucach bQulevarci. fiuntinyton Center Elk I 3.11.2 Project Impacts Fire' Protection: Direct impacts from the Redevelopment Project s public improvements would not cause a significant increase in fire protection services demanded. The impact on response time is uncertain. While the increased traffic generated by the additional retail stores may impair circulation in the vicinity .of the area, the proposed improvements to Edinger Avenue are expected to alleviate any problem. The realignment of Gothard Street to Hoover Street would have a beneficial impact on fire service, allowing for the improvement of the response time of Westminster and Orange County units coming to Huntington Beach for automatic *id assistance. A higher influx in the number of people in the area will generate a higher demand for medical aid service due to vehicle accidents and sudden emergencies. Polices The additional commercial square footage proposed with In Huntington Center is expected to generate 535 calls to the Police Department each year . This is calculated on the basis of one call. per 1,000 square feet, which was the rate established by the last survey conducted. To determine the additional personnel requirements2 this figure is divided by 225, which is the desired number of calls per year per officer based upon the national average of two offices per 1,000 population. Two additional officers would be required to serve the proposed 1 development. i Sewer: it's coming soon. i Water: The impact on water service from additional development within the Project Area would not be. significant. Commercial uses, such as the proposed department stores and satellite commercial arias, are not larqe consumers of water . Water is primarily used for the restroom facilities. The existing water supply system that serves Huntington Center was sized to meet fire flow requirements. Therefore, the size of the water mains greatly exceeds the size necessary for water usage within the stores. The Huntington Beach Fire Department has indicated that the water pressure and supply for the area is adequate to meet the fire flow requirements for additional development. The Fire Department requirements for each structure will be evaluted during the new plan check land may include supplemental on site fire portection equipment. (Picard, 1984) . (1044d) -29- Huntington Center EIR Parks and Recreation: There will be no significant impact on local park and recreation facilities. School: The Redevelopment Project will not have any s gnificant impacts on the school district., Utilities: Natural Gas - The Southern California Gas Company has nd cated that gas service can be Provided to additional commercial development within the Project Area without any significant impact on the environment. Electricity - The Southern California Edison Company Was indicated that the electric loads for the proposed development are within the pacameters of projected load growth which Edison its planning to meet in this area. 3.11.3 Mitigation Measures Fire Protection: Strict complaince with the ordinance code and the f re code will insure the provision of adequo to fire lanes within the Project Area. Strict enforcement of parking violations will aslo mitigate the impacts caused by a greater number of automobilez. within the area. Traffic congestion may be further reduced with r.n increase in the use of public transportation. The increase in medical aid responses could be reduced by j the Huntington Center development providing a manned emergency care unit to provide medical assistance for minor emergencies. Polic ,. The increase in income to the City's general fund produrdd by the new or expanded uses Would offset any additional service costs.

The structur;,s in the. Project Area consume electricity and gas for lighting, heating and coaling. In addition, energy is expended by patrons and employees of the uses to commute to and from the site. .ftigh .uitage electrical transmission lines from the Edison Company bisect the site from east to west and boeder the northwest perimeter. These transmission liras are essential components of Edison's electrical power distribution grid within orange County and the region. 3.12.2 Project Impacts The proposed project would increase the intensity of uses in the area, resulting in additional energy use. Additit•nal gasoline for transportation will a),so be consumed by patrons and employees of the new or expanded uses. The estimated numbers of additional automobile trips are discussed in Section 3.5. 3.12.3 Mitigation Measures I Some of the best ways to reduce energy consumption are through good site planning, the use of proper building materials, and energy efficient design. Good energy management and efficient personal transportation habits can be encouraged through public education programs. The following mitigation measures will aid in conserving energy throughout the life of the project. i .1. Utility companies should utilize the same trenches as much as possible in extending their respective services into the Project Area to minimize the use of diesel fuels during the construction phase. 2. Bikeways should be provided with connection to major local routes as an alternative transportation system • serving the site. Bike facilities, such as racks and lockers should also be included in new projectc. 3. If solar heating systems are incorporated into the design of proposed buildings, site planning should insure that incoming solar radiation is unobstructed. j 4. Appropriate and well placed landscaping can be used to moderate temperature. For example, deciduous trees located on south and west exposures provide shade during the summer, yet allow light and heat to enter during the winter months. (1044d) -31- Huntington Center EIR i II ; r n 5. Improved accessibility to bus service could encourage project customers to use mass transit as an alternative transportation mode. Bus turnouts and shelters should be incorpoeated into project design. 6. All buildings constructed on the project site shall comply with Title 24 Energy Conservation Standards. 7. Orientation of the largest surface areas and the major openings of the buildings towards the south would maximize« solar exposure and natural heat gain during the winter months and minimize heat gain during the winter. 8. Walls, ceilings, floors, windows and hot water lines should be inuulated to prevent heat loss or gain. 9. Energy-•efficient lighting (e.g. , high•-pressure sodium outdoors and fluorescent indoors) fhould be used rather than less efficient types of lighting. 10. Non-essential, ornamental lighting should be avoided. 11. Native plants that are adapted to the climate in the Huntington Beach area should be used exclusively in the landscaping of the proposed project to minimize water use and energy consumption. I k' it i 1 (1044d) -32- Huntington Center EIR r. 4.0 ALTERNATIVES This section presents three alternatives to the development . proposal evaluated in the document, 4.1 NO PROJECT This alternative would retain the project site in its present state. The "No Project" . alternative would avoid potential incremental impacts associated with a revamped traffic circulation system in and around the Project Area (noise contour alterations, air quality degradation) . It would also avoid any temporary inconvenience to customers frequenting Huntington Center during the construction phase of a project. The disLdvantages of the "No Project" alternative would be most apparent to the business owners within Huntington Center. Without rehabilitation to the Center as proposed, there would be no incentive for new customers to visit the f I (1044d) -33- Huntington Center EIR e , retail shops. As a result, a new or revitalized revenue generator would be lost to the City of Huntington Beach. Also, with the "No Project" alternative, the streets would remain in the existing state and congestion during peak hours would remain unchanged. _ The proposed project would • reduce these problems by eliminating a number of curb cuts along the Edinger Avenue right-of-way, refining the traffic light synchronization to improve vehicular movement, and providing new pedestrian walkways From the north side of Edinger Avenue to the south side of Edinger Avenue. Another disadvantage of a "No Project" alternnative is that Beach Boulevard and the Beach Boulevar6 off-ramp would continue to receive .a high number of vehicles eniting the freeway and proceeding into central Huntington Beach. The proposed project would provide an alternative means of access into the commercial/industrial heart of the City. 4.2 MODIFIED PROJECT I This alternative proposes no Gothard Street off-ramp from the San Diego Freeway, no realignment of Gothard Street with Hoover Avenue, and no improvements to the Beach Boulevard off-ramp or to circulation between Huntington Center and One Pacific Plaza. This alternative proposes to improve Edinger Avenue and construct additional commercial square footage in Huntington Center without any major changes to the . circulation system. { The primary advantage of this alternative is that the incremental impacts of noise and air quality associated with the construction of a new Gothard Street off-ramp and realignment will not occur. There would be no associated impacts on the City of Westminster. The major disadvantage of this; alternative is that there will be an anticipated increase in the number of vehicle trips to the Project Area generated by new commercial tenants, without the benefit major traffic improvements to reduce the congestion. It is reasonable to assume that the improvements planned for Edinger Avenue would not be significant enough to enhance the entire circulation system = � around the Huntington Center Commercial District Redevelopment Project Area. This would be especially true for the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Edinger Avenue and the Beach Boulevard off ramp. A modified project would not fulfill the City's objective of enhancing both the infrastructure and commercial character of the project site. (1044d) -34- Huntington Center EiR 4.3 REHABILITATION TO EXISTING COMMERCIAL STRICTURES This alternative would avoid all major improvements to the infrastructure in and around the Project Area and would not construct any new commercial square footage. The primary advantage of this proposal is that, by simply rehabilitating the existing commercial center , there would be no significant impacts to the community. There would, however, be a visible aesthetic improvement to the deteriorated buildings within the project boundaries. As with the modified project, this proposal would not provide a new tax base for the City of Huntington Beach. it may be viewed as a "half-hearted" attempt at fulfilling the Redevelopment Agency's goal of providinq needed improvements. l i i i (1044d) -35- ' Huntingtop Center EIR F 1 5.0 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOCAL SHORT-TERM USES OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF LONG-TERM PRODUCTIVITY The implementation of the Redevelopment Plan will involve few cumulative and long-Eerm impacts. Most of the Redevelopment Project Area is already committed to urban { uses: the redevelopment project would be increasing the intensity of these uses somewhat. Increased intensity can bring more impacts from traffic, air' pollution, and noise. One of the purposes of the project, however, is to improve i traffice circulation, which would tend to improve air pollution through more efficient traffic flow. Long-term productivity would be enhanced in the project area by the creation of new jobs and an increase to the City's economic and tax bases. The implementation of a Redevelopment Project Area will have a positive benefit to the entire City as new and expanded commercial uses will increase sales tax revenue, which constitutes an important component of the general fund, contributing to general maintenance activities and effective service delivery M throughout the City. Short-term impacts during project construction may be negative. 'these could include air quality and noise impacts from construction equipment and dust, temporary disruption of normal circulation patterns, and possibly some business dislocations during commercial expansion. These short-term effects are expected to be outweighed by 1, the long-team benefits of the project. i I i i l i � t (1044d) -36- Huntington Center EIR "�-^w.,:{GS'�r;..':. .. .+ ...... b ..f,_.-..�._..___ _ .+<... ,.. ... .... n+. ._. _ _....-,.........,.--,.._.._...___.+.....--..+.+...wa...ve+r•�+wraw.ra sw+ ' r 6.0 IRREV,ERSIPLE ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES AND IRRETRIEVABLE COMMITMENT Of RESOURCES The following irreversible environmental changes and irretrievable commitment of resources whculd result from the proposed projects The •construction of additional commercial square footage within the Huntington Center .

Growth would occur in the economic base of the City resulting in more jobs. These jobs are expected to be filled by people who already reside in the area; however, some new employees may be attracted from outlying areas, thereby increasing the dematid for housing in Huntington peach. Because both employment and housing supply are regional issued, it ) -- difficult to assess their impacts within such a localized area. The demand for housing in Huntington peach is always high because of the City's coastal location and amenities. It is unlikely that the project would increase housing demand measureably. Growth inducing aspects of the project on employment, the tax base, and sales tax revenues are expected to be positive. The commercial growth may bring more traffic, E air pollution, and noise but the plan itself is designed to improve circulation and mitigate those impacts. Some additional demand may be created for police -and fire protection. The income to the general fund produced by the new or expanded uses would offset any additional service costs. r 1 ' 1 I • 1' j . ..

Further, realignment of Gothard Street may necessi- tate the uncovering of soil. 3 (b) Additional structures on the subject site in conjunction with the alteration of traffic patterns, may cause established drainage patterns to be altered. 6(a) There will be an increase in noise levels during the con- struction phase of the project. A change in traffic circula- tion may also have an effect on the noise contours for the surrounding area. 7 The proposed structures of the Huntington Center site will ' create a change in the existing light and shadow patterns for the immediate area. 13 (a) (b) (c) (d) There are four potential changes to the circulation pattern in an around Huntington Center that will have an impact on the site itself. (1) The possible realignment of Gothard Street to con,ect with Hoover Street. ' (2) Exploring the possibility of a freeway offramp from Cothard' Street. (� (3) A Beach Boulevard fly-over (i.e. , a bridge) . ' (4) Modification to Edinger Avenue which would facilitate traffic circulation in and around Huntington Center. MaHb) Additional square footage to Huntington Center in con- junction with a rahange in traffic patterns may have an effect on the response time for safety personnel. 14 (e) The addition of new roads (i.e. , the realignment of Gothard Street, freeway off-ramp at Gothard Street) could necessitate additional road maintenance. 16 (a) (e) This project would trigger the undergrounding of the public utilities. The realignment of Gothard Street may affect storm water drainage for the surrounding area. 21 (b) The proposed changes in the traffic pattern in an around Hunt- ington Center may provide short-term goals at the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals. The longterm impacts might possibly be realized by an increase in noise arI traffic congestion. a i l Y•i � I it a: � %ia 1 ,N ' l' 't ,ii • '+�� i y,r'y� Jt'�i��li tip. �}}�� , �r L" -:' �.• 7�;1. �. r r(!r i? •L'�J#+� 1+^�+� y'!��r'l,l�';fi�a� '�� � t z �' � 4 '� J'r��i:'i r)t j,��,�7�J :rrlj �� ��„ ��+� ;;+�k�f is"����f'���$`y���rti.►�Jr•#•s�+.'1,,..

Box 190 Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Subject: Environmental Impact Repot for Proposed Redevelopment Plan , Huntington Center The proposed 160 acre redevelopment project lies within County Sanitation District No. 3 . This project will be served by the Miller-Holder Trunk Sewer which discharges to the Huntington Beach Treatment Plant. The project area has been master planned by the Sanitation Districts for commercial and industrial flows using flow coefficients' of 3230 gallons cer acre per day and 3880 gallons per acre per day :respectively. Because the intended project involves parking structures which increases the gross buildable acreage, the Districts suggest that in calculating flows for the project a guideline of 100 gallons per 1000 square feet For both the ro osed P p development and existing development be utilized . The Districts' facilities have been sized to accommodate master planned flows . The Districts operate under a NPDES Fermit issued by the California' Regional Water Quality Control Board; this permit ;! hart a set :discharge limit for biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids . At the present time the biochemical oxygen demand in Districts' discharge is close to the limit. The staff projects that each million gallons per day of additional flow will add one part per million to the biolchemical oxygen demand after treatment, therefore, significant land use changes will impact the Districts ' facilities . The Districts appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this environmental. impact report.

Unless the demand for electrical generating capacity exceeds j our estimates, and provided that there are no unexpected t outages to major sources of electrical supply, we expect to meet our electrical requirements for the next several. years. Our total system demand is expected to continue to increase annually; however, excluding any unforeseen problems, our plans for new generation resources indicate that our ability to serve all customer loads during peak demand periods will be adequate during the decade of the 80 's. I Ire have marked up your map and identified our overhead 220 kv transmission line right of way (in red) and our 66 kv and 12 kv lines along the southside of Edinger and eastside of Beach Blvd. (in green) . In respect to our fee owned right of way north of Huntington Center, and laong Gothard Ave. , we are concerned, about the possible financial impact the redevelopment project will have and any modification, relocation, or encroachment that might be considered.

Picar DIrector, Development Services Fire Chief Subject HUNTINGTO14 CENTER REDEVELOP MENTDate August 16, 1904 PROJECT AREA The impact the Huntington Center project will have on the Fire Department's ability to provide services Include the following: 1. Reduced circulation - Increased density in the added commercial g development ;ould cause a reduction In circulation which could have an effect on the department's access to emergencies and thus, Increase our response time. 2. Increased traffic congestion - The additional retail stores and a reduction in circulation could cause the stacking of cars on limited circulation paths causing traffic jams and thus, affecting the department's response route and increasing response time. 3. Consumer/Retailer increase - A higher influx of people in the area will require a higher demand for medical aid service to vehicle accidents and sudden emergencies. 4. For Fire Prevention inspections - more commercial establishments will be added which will require semi annual and annual fire Inspections on an already impacted area. Mitigation measures for circulation require: strict compliance with the ordinance code and the fire code to provide adequate fire lanes. Strict enforcement of parking violations will also be required. Along with the proposed improvements, traffic congestion might be further reduced by public transportation. A concentrated effort to increase the use of public transportation should be Implemented. . The Increase In medical aid responses may be reduced by the Huntington Center development providing a mai+ned emergency care unit to provide medical assistance for minor emergencies (Einergi-Care Center. A computerized record ke_ping system for Fire Prevention inspections would streamline the Inspection process and allow fire companies more time out of the station to conduct inspections. A positive impact the department supports is the realigning of Gothard Street to Hoover Street In Westminster. This would Improve the response time of Westminster and Orange County units corning to Huntington Boach for automatic aid assistance. Huntington Beach units would serve the area from Murdy Fire Station and be backed up by Westminster and Qrsnge County Fire Units. The Murdy Fire Station is located at 16221 Gothard Street and consists of nine personnel; four assigned to a ladder truck; three assigned to a pumper unit; and two assigned to a paramedic unit. The response time from Murdy Station to the area presently Is within five minutes 90 percent of the time. Water is'avallable through the Huntington Beach water system. The pressure and supply for the area Is adequate. Fire Department requirements for each prcject structure will be evaluated during new plan check and may include supplemental on site fire protection equipment.

PALIN, Director From JIb1 �WRE Developiient Services Dept. Crime Analyst Subiect HWTINGTON CENTER REDWELOP10W Date AUGUST 15, 1984 IMPACT ON POLICE SERVICE This proposed redevelopment of the Huntington Center area will leave the following impact upon police service. To ease in locating pertinent data, I shall categorize this report by the information you have requested. 1. Location of Nearest Station: Huntington Beach is serviced by one: police . ace ity Iocat&J in the Civic Center at Main Street and Yorktown. This is approximately four mules from the redevelopment site. 2. Manpower within Patrolling Area: The Huntington Reach police partment is currently allocated 201 sworn off!L:vrs. :'cheduling is arranged around a four-day Mork week, with patrolmen deployed by beat configuration. Huntington Center is locatod in Beat. 13 and is serviced by an assigned unit with pri.nkary back-up sul)plied by trots assigned to the adjacent areas (Beats 9, 11 or 12). 3. Me of Crime Int'.ensity in the Area: As with most major shopping centers, the cause for most calls and service is Petty 'Theft , in the form of shoplifting. By examining all calls for service , that particular area generates approximately twice the number of calls as the average for all areas,with theft the primar; reason. f 4. lEpacts on Services: Any additional personnel/equipnk nt needed to adequately service project area--Structures. With an additional shopping structure approximately 535,00'square feet, they, estimated number of calls per year would equal 535. This is calculated on I the basis of one call per 1,000 square feet accoruing to the last survey conducted. To determine the number of additional personnel ! j requirements, divide this figure (535) by 225 (the desired number of calls per year per officer based upon the national averapc of two officers per 1,000 population) , and we find two additioral officers would be required. Parking Structure Enhancements and 1,2 Street ,INbditications. No additional personnel required. 5. Suggested t1itigation Wasures: None noted.

The site was surveyed by motor • vehicle and on foot by the firm of Michael Brandman Associates on September 5, 1984. Weather at the time of the survey was mild, with a temperature of 75°F, clear skies and no wind. The physical nature of the property permitted a complete direct examination of ell terrain within Its confines. Floral and faunal constituents encountered were recorded in terms of relative abundance and host habitat type, and the overall biotic composition of the site was derived from this information combiner', with documented habitat preferences of regional wildlife species which, whether or not detected during the survey, are known to Include the site within their range. Floral taxonomy follows the current regional flora of Munz (1974). Common plant names, where not available ,from Munz (1974), are taken from Abrams (1923), Hitchcock (1950), Robbins, et al. (1951), Collins (1972) and Hastings and Heintz (1976). Vertebrates identified in the field by sight, calls or other signs are cited according to the nomenclature of Stebbins (1972) and Collins, et al. (1978) for amphibians and reptiles; AOU (1983) for birds; and: Hall (1981) and Jones, et al. (1982) for mammals. Sources used for determination of sensitive biological resources are as follows: plants - FWS (1982), COFG (1984) and Smith, et al. (1980); wildlife - FWS (1982) and CDFG (1980, 1983). Vegetation. The vegetation of the site consists of two plant communities: herbaceous riparian and landscaped ornamental. All but a small portion (about one acre) of the site has been developed as a commercial district with shopping centers, business complexes, restaurants and retail stores. Landscaped j ornamental plantings dominate the landscape. A representative list of ornamentals Is Included in the floral compendium (Appendix —). It Is estimated that more than 150 species and horticultural varieties of ornamental plants have been used In landscaping the site; however, most plantings represent only 25 to 30 commonly used species. • i � A Southern California Edison (SCE) Company transmission line easement traverses northern portions of the site (Figure --). Beneath the cast-west oriented portion of the easement is an area of open space comprising approximately one acre. Vegetation in this undeveloped portion Is principally herbaceous riparian. Tule (Sairpzs ca!ifornicus) and broad-leaved cat-tail ( ha latifolia) are the dominant species In the low-lying portion and various ruderal species dominate the. drier, elevated portions. The latter include grasses such, as bermudagrass (C 66don dart lon). ltallan ryegrass (LolIum erenne multiflorum) and dallis grass ( as a um , dilatatum), and (orbs such as sugar beet Beta vulgaris), common sow thistle Sonchus oler aeeus) and field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis)—all non-native species. Wildlife. In the developed portions of the property, birds are the only conspicuous wildlife present. Avian species onsite are those typical of urban communites throughout southern California--rock dove (Columba Livia), American crow 2 (Corvus bracli rh nehos), European starling (Sturnus vul aril) and house finch (Carpodacus mexicanus). Several species of birds typical of freshwater marshes can be found In the small riparian component. These Include the red-winged blackbird (A elaius phoeniceus), common yellowthroat (Geothlyplu trichas) and song sparrow Melospixa melmelodia), among other less plentiful species. Amphibians, reptiles and mammals onsite are virtually confined to the orie acre of riparian open space. While none were observed during the survey, western toad (Bufo boreal), Pacific treefro0 (Hyla re ilia), srnithern alligator lizard (Gerrhonotus multicarinatus) and several species of rodents are expected to be fairly plentiful.. Domestic pets, especially dogs, may frequently visit the site from nearby residential communities. Sensitive Resources. No Species of plant or animal designated rare, endangered or threatened by t he California Department of Fish and Game or the U.S. FIsh and Wildlife Service is expected to occur on the site. The one acre of herbaceous riparian plants (of which only about one-half acre is marsh) Is much too small and far removed from other similar communities to be expected to harbor any sensitive species. Environmental Impacts • r Implementation of the redevelopment project, as proposed, would result In the loss of the small riparian cummunity which presently occupies the open space beneath the SCE transmission lines. This loss would represent an impact of moderate local significance. Though of local and Intrinsic value, this riparian community does not serve a role In the survival of any rare or endangered species nor Is it of suffletent size to exert a marked Influence on the regional ecology; consequently, it Is not considered of regional significance. Mitigation Measures It Is recommended that consideration be given to project design measures which I; would result In retention of the small riparian community onsite. Should such measures prove Infeasible, loss of this community would represent an unavoidable i adverse Impact. I1 ft 3 s , I . i REFERENCES CITED Abrams, Leroy. 1923.

Air Quality Huntington Center Fnvironmental Huntingtun Beach is located in the South Coast Air Setting Basin. Generally, air pollution in the basin is a regional problem. Pollution levels in Huntington beach are r result not only of local emissions, but also those in other parts of Orange County. Tables 1 through 3 summarize air quality for selected pollutants in Costa Mesa, which is the closest site to Huntington Beach at which pollutant levels are recorded. Concentrations reflect a slow decline over the past 15 years as motor vehicle pollution controls become more stringent and apply to larger portions of the vehicle fleet. Because of low average wind speeds in the summer and a persistent daytime temperature inversion, &nissions of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen have an opportunity to combine in sunlight i• a complex series of reactions producing photocher.Acal oxidant (smog). The National Ambient Air QuaiIity Standard for oxidant is expected to be the most difficult of the ttandards to achieve in the { region. Pollutants emitted in the Huntington Beach area cun":,ribute to the regional oxidant problem. The Southern California Association of Governments (SLAG) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District have prepared an Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) which has been forwarded through the State of California as part of the State Implementation Plan for compliance with the Clean Air Act. The State Implementation Plan is now being reviewed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. If EPA approves the plan, the control measures contained in the plan will become requirements for local implementation. €' The AQMP does not project compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards by 1981 for all pollutants under the development projections of the SCAG-82 Growth Forecast Policy. Achievement of emission reductions forecast by the AQMP will require institution of a large number of control measures included in the plan including: o Additional restrictions on vehicle emissions. i o Annual inspectio,i and maintenance program for light and ` medium duty vehicles. o Transportation control measures including encouragement of high occupancy vehicles, physical improvements to ►'oadways and transit system improvements. j. o Additional stationary source controls. 1 t TABLE 1 NUMBER OF DAYS FEDERAL Alit QUALITY STANDARDS WERE EXCEEDED DURING 1982 CARBON SULFUR OZONEI MONOXIOE2 DIOXUDE3 TSo4 LEAD5 Long Beach 6 47 O U 0 Lynwood 13 0 0 0 Los Angeles 48 9 0 0 Pico Rivera 65 6 0 Whittier 44 8 0 11M RM 8 0 0 0 La Habra 39 0 Anaheim 28 2 0 O NM 0 0 0 Los Alamitos 10 2 0 MM NM Costa Mesa 6 NM NM Pomona 66 0 p 0 Riverside 96 0 0 E1 Toro 18 0 NM 1 . 0 NM Not measured at this station. �I 1 Days Ozone exceeded 0.12 parts per million, 1-hour average. it 2 Days CO exceeded 9 parts per million, 8-hour average. 3 Days SO2 exceeded 0. 14 parts per million, 24-hour average. ►, 4 Uays TS; exceeded 150 ug/cubic meter, 24-hour average. 5 quarters lead exceeded 1.5 ug/cubic meter, quarterly average.

Air po 1 l utants hay.e a number of adverse impacts on ->uman health, result in degradation of materials and finishes, and are harmful to sensitive plants. The sources and effects of various contaminants are discussed briefly below, as reported by the South Coast Air Qaality Management District. Carbon Monoxide CU . Carbon monoxide is a colorless, ocTorTess, toxic gas produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing substances. Carbon monoxide concen- trations are usually higher in the winter when more fuel is burned and meteorological conditions favor the buildup of directly emitted contaminants. In the South Coast Air Basin, gasoline-powered motor vehicles are the largest source of this contaminant. Carbon monoxide does not irritate the respiratory tract, but passes through the lungs directly into the bloodstream. By interfering with transfer of fresh oxygen to the blood, carbon monoxide deprives sensitive tissues, primarily the heart and brain, of oxygen. It is not known to have = adverse effects on vegetation, visibility or material i objects. } Oxides of Nitrogen (NO ). Two oxides of nitrogen are m3 portanL iyn aTr poIIAion. These are nitric oxide (NO), a colorless, odorless gas formed from atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen when combustion takes place under high temperature and/or high pressure, and nitrogen dioxide (1102), a reddish-brown, irritating gas formed by the com5ination of nitric oxide with oxygen. Motor vehicles are the primary source of oxides of nitrogen in the region, a'.;ing with combustion in power plants. Some petroleum refining operations, other industrial sources, ships, railroads and aircraft operations are less important sources. I Oxides of nitrogen are direct participants in photochemical f smog reactions. The emitted compound, nitric oxide, combines with oxygen in the atmosphere, in the presence of hydrocarbons and sunlight, to form nitrogen dioxide and ozone. Nitrogen dioxide can color the-atmosphere at concentrations as low as 0.5 parts per million on days of 10-mile visibility. Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). Sulfur dioxide is a colorless, pungenti"rr�itating gas formed primarily by the combustion of sulfur-containing fossil fuels. In humid atmospheres, some of it may be changed ;:u sulfur trioxide and sulfuric 1 acid mist, with some of the latter eventually reacting with other materials to produce sulfate particulates. In the South Coast Air Basin, fuel combustion is the 4 ".w . ....� ...~.f.. . i.... - .. . .. .. ..,.�....- . . .. ....... ............ ...... ....._. • .W`R.y.—..;j.i•1 iS..[SItYWr"r"" •'b r primary source of S02, while chemical plants, sulfur recovery slants, and metal drocessiny are minor sources. Introduc- tion of low sulfur fuel oil , heyinning in 1968, lov-r ' S02 emissions. Shortiyes of r itural gas have resulted in greater use of low : fur fue, oil , possibly adversely affecting air quali ., At sufficiently higl. .ncentrations, sulfur dioxide irri- tates the upper respiratory tract; at lower concentrations in combination with particulates, it appears able to do still greater harm by injuring lung tissues. Sulfur oxides, in combination with moisture and oxygen., can yellow the leaves of plants. dissolve marble and eat away iron and steel. Sulfur oxides can also limit visibility and cut down the light from the sun. Photochemical Oxidant (0 ). The term "photochemical oxi- aaant' can nc Re severa r di fferent pol 1 utants, but con sists primarily of ozone (more than 90%), and a group of chemicals called eryanic peroxynitrates. Photochemical oxidants are created in the atmosphere and are not emitted directly into the air. Reactive hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen are the emitted contaminants which participate in the reaction. Ozone is a pungent, colorless, toxic gas which is produced by the photochemical process. Photochemical oxidant reaches its highest concentrations in the summer and early fall when ultraviolet energy from the sun and other conditions are most suitable for oxidant-producing reactions. Motor vehicles are the major source of emission of oxides of nitrogen and reactive hydrocarbons (principal ozone precursors) in the South Coast Air Basin. The common effects of oxidants are damage to vegetation and cracking of untreated rubber. Photochemical oxidants in high concentrations can also directly affect the lungs, causing respiratory irritation and possible changes in lung function. Particulates. Atmospheric particulates are made• up of flne13 di ed solids or liquids such as soot, dust, aerosols, fumes and mists. About 90%, by weight, of the emitted particles are larger than 10 microns, but about. 90%, by number, of particulates are less than 5 microns in diameter. The aerosols formed in the atmosphere are usua 1 ly sma 1 l er than I micron. In areas close to major sources, particulate concentrations are generally higher in the winter, when more fuel is burned and meteorological conditions fdvnr the buildup of directly emitted i contaminants. However, in areas remote from major sources I and subject to photochemical smog, particulate co .cen- trations are higher during summer months. } Particulate matter consists of particles in the atmosphere I t i 5 i t resulting from many kinds of dust and fume-producing industrial and agricultural operations, construction, from combustion productt; including automobile exhaust, and from i atmospheric photochemical reactions. Some natural activities such as wind-raised dust and ocean spray, also emit particuiates into the atmosphere. In the respiratory tract, very small particles of certain f substances may produce injury by themselves, or may act in conjunction with gases to alter their deposition sites and scope of action. Suspended in the air, particulates of aerosol size can both scatter and absorb sunlight, reducing the amount of solar energy reaching the earth, producing haze and reducing visibility. They can also cause a wide J range of damage to materials. H drocarbons and Other r panic Gases. This group of I poi utants'IncTu es t many compounds consisting of hydrogen and carbon, found especially in fossil fuels. Some hydrocarbons are highly photochemically reactive. Hydrocarbon concentrations are generally higher in winter ; `.� because the reactive hydrocarbons react more slowly then and }' rl can accumulate in the atmosphere to higher concentrations. The major source of reactive hydrocarbons in the South Coast Air Basin is now the internal combustion Engine of motor vehi- cles. Minor sources include petroleum refining, petroleum "4 marketing operations, and evaporation of organic solvents. C , Certain hydrocarbons, such as ethylene, damage plants by inhibiting growth and causing flowers and leaves to fail. Levels of hydrocarbons commonly measured in urban areas are ' ,.; not known to cause bdverse effects in humans. Envirorwental Project Emissions. The proposed project will result Impact in higher levels of primary pollutant emissions and concen- trations than the no project case. In general , any deve- lopment in the South Coast Air Basin would result in higher '. ;;:: levels of, air pollution than would be the case without such , development. Tables 4 and 5 summarize air pollution emission factors used in calculating project emissions and contributions to local and regional air pollution levels. Table 5 also reports project emisssons based on these emission factors. Project air pollution emissions come from three principal } sources: on-site combustion of natural gas for space , heating, water heating and cooking; local and regional emissions from motor vehicles traveling to and from the project site; and combustion of fuels at power plants to produce electric power used on the project site. 6 . j T TABLE 4 i F RNIA COMPOSITE MOVING EXHAUST CALIFORNIA EMISSION RATES 0 I CALE14DAR YEAR I98B Emissions in Grams- per Mile % of --- --------------------------- �.

These concentrations were estimated using the Ca line 3 air polfu- tion model and show a small contribution by the project to carbon monoxide concentrations resulting from the proposed Project. However, because assumed background levels of carbon monoxide are higher than the National Ambient Air Quality Standard, continued violations of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard are expected The project may result in an increase in the number of days on which carbon 1 monoxide concentrations exceed the standard at receptor sites near the project area. Construction emissions. Construction emissions include emissions from motor vehicles used during construciton, and emissions of fugitive dust resulting from project construction. Uecause the project will be developed in phases over a number of ears ime not expected to be sufffcient to result in uradfng at n sually iven thighis emissions of dust, and this effect is not considered significant. Air Quality Management Plan Consistency, The proposed Project is consistent with the Air Quality Management plan which is based on the Huntington Beach General Plan, on which regional growth Projections for population, housing and employment were based, and is therefore consistent with the regional growth ;management plan. i j, Mitigation Although the project itself is not expected to contribute t Measures sfgrii ficant ly to regional pollution levels, t;;e total of projects constructed in the South Coast Air Basin In the next 10 to 20 dears has a potential to adversely affect air region may be adopted as part of the Air ali quality. Measures to reduce air pollution emissions in the Plan. These measures cannot be assured ate this timeayerrent because they depend on regional which are outside the Jurisdictioji nOfthees aCitytor actions Huntington Beach. Measures to reduce tripmaking included in the discussion of circulation impacts will reduce air pollution emisisons. The following mitigation treasures are included in the proposed orljeet: o Improvement of existing streets and parkways where only partial improvements exist to the extent redevelopment funds are avai 1 ab l e and pri vate development takes ill ace in the project area. This mitigation measure will reduce. fugitive dust emissions from unpaved and unimproved streets and sidewalks in the project area. i II t ';'"' �k.�„A*t �r•�I� .; Qi'1 ; .t.i ! �r ��R' r �•t. , y "w, i»F r,w.. 1 �, .:{,+i.`���gf ��el���� 1� t pp,�( !t � t�•4'"r� �,+ !�• • A 'C '�fyeV'� +] 7fw "F :%„ ly2r ri�(>y I 'fiRj.'y�!�� wi g w l;=,t,�r. , ,�y r• z ' 'l' � '��"i�JA. ! 4 •,�s` `� i 1. 3 �.a't .Si `! ? t•j rA f 7! � r f Y'r • +' �;' y i c• .. ..s'�.. • �j�(�+Y. ♦+ i+�, � �. �Y&` r 'tj lL�`. ry f AM +, yi1�. + .� 1 f t ��j' .t'Y�: P � �•. � �fe 1�' r� y �l � �.�f �'*Y�ws�i'.!�}/ a- '� �'�"., r xx�� '�}�'. y + w ,) � i t�'i 3� 1 1 !

Introduc- tion of law sulfur fuel oil , beginning in 1968, lowered i SU2 emissions. Shortages of natural gas have resulted in greater use of luw sulfur fuel oil , possibly adversely affecting air quality. At sufficiently high concentrations, sulfur dioxide irri- tates the upper respiratory tract; at lower concentrations in combination with particulates, it appears able to do still greater harm by injuring lung tissues. Sulfur oxides,* in combination with moisture and oxygen, can yellow the leaves of plants, dissolve marble and eat away iron and steel. Sulfur oxides can also limit visibility and cut down the light from the su►i. Photochemical Oxidant (U ), The term "photochemical oxi- ant can nc u'de severali different pollutants, but con- sists primarily of ozone (more than 90%), and a group of chemicals called organic peroxynitrates. Photochomical oxidants are crzated in the atmosphere and are not emitted directly into the air. Reactive hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen are the emitted contaminants which participate in the reaction, Ozone is a pungent, colorless, toxic gas which is produced by the photochemical process. Photochemical oxidant reaches its highest concentrations in the summer and early fail when ultraviolet energy from the sun and other conditions are most suitable for oxidant-producing reactions. Motor vehicles are the major source of emission of oxides of nitrogen and reactive hydrocarbons (principal ozone precursors) in the South Coast Air Basin. The common effects of oxidants are damage to vegetation and cracking of untreated rubber. Photochemical oxidants in high concentrations can also directly affect the lungs, causing respiratory irritation and possible changes in lung function. Particulates. Atmospheric particulates are made up of finely ai-viced solids or liquids such as soot, dust, aerosols, fumes and mists. About 90%, by weight, of the emitted particles are larger than 10 microns, but about 90X, by number, of particulates are less than 5 microns in diameter. The aerosols formed irr the atmosphere are usua I ly sma 11 er than 1 mi crop.

At their meeting on August 61 19840 the city Council amended the boundaries of this survey area and adopted by resolution a redevelopment survey area for the Talbert Gap Flood Control Project . Subsequently, an August 13, 1984 the Redevelopment Ayor+::y received the Preliminary Redevelopment Plans for the two survey areas and directed staff to transmit the boundary maps and descriptions of the areas to the State Board of Equal i.:at- ion, the Auditer and Tax Assessor of Orange County and the affect,ad taxing entities, along with a statement that plans for the redevelopment of the project areas are being prepared. Section 33385 of the Community Redevslopinent Law requires the for- mation of a Project Area Committee (PAC) whenever low and moderate income families will be displaced by a redevelopment project . Since neither of the proposed redevelopment projects will displace resldentt; ` from the project areas, no PAC is required. The council must adopt a resolution for each project area making this determination. RECOMM'::'RATION: Ad,:pt the attached resolutions determining that a Project Area Com- mi4tee shall not be forded, and authorizing and directing Lhe Agency to meet with Project Area businesses, residential owner occupants ..A;,d tenants, and existing organizations and to provide such persons organizations with copies of the Project Redevelopment Man. j ANALYSIS: • Section 33385 of the Community Redevelopment Law requires the for- mation of a PAC when a substantial number of low and moderate income families are to be displaced by the redevelopment project. This requirement allows project area residents who will be directly of-- fected to have input into the formulation of the redevelopment plan, inasmuch as the two Redevelopment Projects proposed for the Hunting- ton Center Commercial District and Talbert Gap Flood Control Project Areas will not displace any residents within the project areas, a PAC is not required, r 4 aio Q61 lw+�.M•rw+r. • ,...... ....1 . . .., .... .._ _.__ "'1,3 ! `. .'.,. .. . •t .:S: -.'.7::rn,t t;•.r...�...rww.-..,r.r.Hw.s77rwi+?.l'4"KRaTv`'i'-. Section 33385 provides that, if no Pttc is formed "the Agency shall consult with, and obtain the advice of, residents and community organizations. . . and provide such persons and organ- Izations with the redevelopment plan Prior to submitting it to the legislative body. The attached resolutions will allow City Council to determine that no PAC- shall be formed for the respective project areas. The resolutions further direct the Agency to' take the other actions required by Section 33385. FUNDING SOURCE; None needed. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS; Do not adopt the attached resolutions.

Thompson, Chief Executive Officer Prepared by: Charles P. Spencer, Special Projects Coordinator Subject: RFQ/RFP FOR CONSULTANT TO PREPARE HUNTINGTON CENTER REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA DOCUMENTS Statement of Issue,Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source,Alternative Actions,Attachments: STATEMENT OF ISSUE: On July 2, 1984, the City Council created the Huntington Center Redevelopment Survey Area by Resolution; and on August 6 the City Council will be requested to create a Flood Control Channel R.S.A. by a similar resolution. To assist in the study necessary to analyze the feasibility of these as Redevelopment Project Areas, it is necessary to request the assistance of a consultant firm. FIECOMMENDATI04: Approve and authorize the staff to distribute the attached Request for Qualifications/Request for Proposals, for a consultant to assist with the preparation of the required "Report to Council" and other documents necessary to present the Huntington Center Redevelopment Survey Area and Flood Control Channel R.S.A. to the Council for consideration as Project • Areas. ANALYSIS: Recent State legislation will significantly alter the process through which local jurisdictions designate Redevelopment Project Areas. This legislation will become effective January 1, 1985, and if the Huntington Center and Flood Control Survey Areas are to become adopted and effective Redevelopment project Areas prior to this date, it is necessary to move forward with all possible speed. 1 To assure that this plan adoption process goes as smoothly and expeditiously as possible, it is recommended that the City secure the services of a reputable consultant firm to assist in the preparation of the "Report to City Council" and other documents necessary for plan adoption, and to assure that the schedule of this plan adoption permit the Project Area to become effective prior to January 1, 1985. The consultant will be asked to perform specific tasks in this process to augment City staff efforts. FUNDING SOURCE: It is estimated that the cost of consultant services necessary will be �J from $20,000 - $500000. It is recommended that the City Council authorize a loan from the City to the Redevelopment Agency for this purpose and that ! repayment of this loan be subject to the terms and conditions of the current Cooperation Agreement between the City and the Redevelopment Pio�n� Agency. aw I� I RH a4-23 August I, 1984 Page Two ALTERNATIVES: 1.

HUNTINGTON CENTER: On Monday, July 2, 1984, the City Council adopted a resolution to establish the area, including and surrounding, Huntington Center as a Redevelopment Survey Area. The Agency is now interested in pursuing, as quickly as possible, the adoption of this survey area as a Redevelopment Project Area. (Attached for your information is the Request for Council Action through which the survey area was adopted). The private sector concerns which prompted the consideration of this are: for redevelopment are: • The opportunity to secure one additional major retail client center • Shortage of parking • Relocation of Edison transmission lines The Redevelopment Agency's concerns for the area are: Relocation of the Edison transmission lines Traffic congestion and circulation problems on Edinger adjacent to the Center Creation of the new freeway underpass for Gothard Pedestrian circulation between Huntington Center and the strip commercial on the south side of Edinger and commercial area north of Center Drive Vehicular circulation between Huntington Center and the Levitz commercial area The maximum scope of improvements currently envisioned for the Redevelopment Project Area are as follows: Relocation of the Edison transmission lines Enhancement/improvement of traffic circulation and signalization on Edinger . Construction of on and off ramp on the 405 freeway at Gothard Realignment of Gothard Construction of freeway underpass for Gothard Enhancement of the existing Huntington Center Provision of two major additional retail anchors Provision of additional parking, probably through the use of parking structures Enhancement of commercial uses on the south side of Edinger The Agency, through the study of the Redevelopment. Survey Area, will consider amendment to the boundary established in the Survey Area resolution. ..._. .. .. .,..,,.,.:y.uti]1"ltr::.:'J;�"'+•i•-*'ink►.+ . •.� .. ..... .. . .......-........+rr.r.+•+,.+Nrw4•.+n�.n..�r-.... ...�....�.• ...{ • . /1. ..1 ^` .�-..r.t..�..w.i.. rw r• l.+a ryr t 2. FLOOD CONTROL On Monday, August G, 1984, the survey area resolution will be presented to the City Council to incorporate a flood control channel and surrounding areas into a redevelopment survey area. This survey area boundary will tract the flood control channel from the Fountain Valley corporate boundary to the Pacific Ocean. Selected adjacent vacant parcels will also be incorporated within this su►•vey area. The principal purpose of the creation of this as a survey area and eventually a redevelopment project area is to enhance the Orange County Flood Control District's flood control channel throughout this area to eliminate future flooding problems. Since flooding will no longer be considered a blighting influence in redevelopment project areas effective after January 1, 1985, it is the City's intention to process this project adoption in sufficient time to avoid this restriction on definition of blight. It 'is expected that this survey area will be created as an independent redevelopment project area, but its adoption will be conducted simultaneous with the project area adoption for the above described Huntington Center project area. 3.

Pal in, Director of Development Services •• Subject: AMENDING THE HUNTINGTON CENTER COKM RCIAL pI6TRICT REDEVELOPMENT SURVEY AREA YR8 .4;)�4 2,b Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source,Alternative AcWns,Attachments: STATEMNT OF ISSUE: On July 2 , 1984 the City Council designated a redevelopnent survey area for the Huntington Center Commercial District, generally located near Beach Boulevard and Edinger Street. Additional study by staff has shown that it would be beneficial for additional land u to the 405 freeway to p Y be included in the survey area and that the Old World development should be deleted from the survey area. The attached resolution would amend the redevelopment survey area boundary to make these changes. REC0FMND?:""ION: Adopt the attached resolution amending the Huntington Center Commercial District Redevelopment survey area boundary. ANALYSISt When the City Council adopted a redevelopment survey area for Huntington Center, several issues were identified as problems, among which were traffic congestion, interior circulation, and the realignment of Gothard to connect with Hoover to the north. Since the adoption of the survey area, staff has been considering possible solutions to these problems for inclusion in the comprehensive analysis of the area. Some proposed solutions might include realignment of Gothard to connect with Hoover, ; an underpass for Gothard under the 405 freeway, a possible new on - and off-ramp from the 405 at Gothard, modifications to the existing south bound 405 off ramp at Beach Boulevard, and some realignment of traffic corridors' along Center Drive to facilitate circulation between the center and Pacific Plaza. These solutions would involve property beyond the present scope of the survey area. While public improvements can be made outside the boundaries of a redevelopment project, staff feels it would be beneficial to include the land where improvements are contemplated, as well as properties which would benefit substantially fronthe improvements, within the study area. PIO 4l81 i AR-LADING THE HUNTINGTON CENTER COMMERCIAL DISTRICT REDEV'ELOPMNT SURVEY AREA (Cont) Old World, a mixed use development north of Center Drive, is currently included within the redevelopment survey area. Although some improvements would be beneficial to the development, staff does not Neel that the problems are severe enough to warrant inclusion in a redevelopment project at this time. In addition. since the mixed use includes residential development, inclusion of Old World in the project could precipitate additional requirements and/or controversy for the project. Staff therefore recommends that Old World be excluded from the survey area in this boundary amendment. Senate Bill No. 203 (Hannigan) will amend the redevelopment law as of January 11 1984 no that the definition of blight no longer includes economic dislocation, deterioration or disuse resulting from faulty planning. While it may be possible to ;justify the redevelopment project area without this definition, it would be more difficult. Staff recommends, therefore, that a strong effort be made to complete the adoption of the project area before the end of 1984. it is possible to do this by following the very tight time frame outlined in the attached draft schedule. Staff has made a commitment to meeting these deadlines if the Council so directs. The details of the proposed schedule are discussed more fully under the proposed adoption of a redevelopment survey area for the Huntington Beacn and Talbert flood control channels. FUNDING SOURMi None needed. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Do not adopt the resolution amending the boundary of the survey area as recommended by by staff. In this case, the adopted survey area would be applicable. 2. Amend the survey area boundary in a different manner an desired by Council.

Thompson, City Administrator Prepared by: James W. Paiin, Director of Development Services �('t'�1` "'`'V Subject: DESIGNATING HUNTINGTON CENTER COMI`1ERCI L 111• C11 2 Cti�;,+`,� DISTRICT AS A REDEVELOPMENT SURVEY ARE �.1 9 Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Funding Source,Alterne iv s: ...._� Ct1Y Ems+ STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The City of Huntington Beach has made a strong commitment to the revitalization of sections of the City which have experienced deterioration and underutilization. It is critical to the City' s economic wellbeing that the commercially designated areas of the City be utilized to their highest and best use in order to generate needed revenue to the City by bolstering the tax base. In studying and analyzing commercial areas in the City, it was determined by staff that the Huntington Center and the surrounding commercial district were such underutilized areas (see Exhibit. "A" map) . After considerable study, staff recommends that the area on the attached map be designated as a redevelopment survey area so that a more detailed study can be made of the potential for overcoming some of their problem3 and promoting its development to its highest and best use. RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution No. 5407 designating the Huntington Center Commercial District a Redevelopment Survey Area. ANALYSIS: California Redevelopment Law requires that a redevelopment survey area be established by resolution of the City Council prior to proceeding with specific studies or utilizing the broad provisions of said law in any way to assist and support the revitalization of such an area. The designation if a survey area simply expresses the City' s intent to proceed with a comprehensive analynis of the potential of using redevelopment as a resource to upgrade an identified area. In conducting a preliminary study of the area, a number of concerns were identified relating to circulation, underutilization of commrcial property, fragmentation of the commercial district, and the need for upgrading t:he_ commercial area. The issue of circulation needs to be further analyzed to explore solutions to the significant traffic problems on Edinger. The high traffic volume on Edinger Avenue creates No 4181 r 1 some congestion, but it is greatly aggravated by the excessive number of curb cuts on the north and south sides of Edinger between Beach ! Boulevard and Gothard Street. Because of the excessive number of curb cuts, signals have been needed which cause slacking of vehicles and impede traffic movement. Interior circulation from Huntington Center to the Levitz Center on the west needs to be explorer. The realignment of Gothard to connect with Hoover to the north also needs to be i analyzed. The Huntington Center has an approximate site coverage of 21 percent, with the remainder of the center primarily devoted to surface parking. This has resulted in a tremendous loss of potential tax dollars resulting from the underutilization of valuable commercial property. Additional analysis needs to be conducted to ascertain the feasibility of freeing up surface parking area in order to provide more space for additional commercial development. A possible means of accomplishing this could be by construclA ng a parking structure. The use of the Edison right-of-way to the north of the center could also be explored to provide for additional parking to support more commercial uses. Another issus which needs to be addressed is how to link the two very separate commezcial areas on the north and south sides of Edinger in order to create a cohesive, united commercial center that will attract renewed investment by developers and businessmen. A fragmente;i ownership pattern and the lack of an overall development scheme has contributed to this problem. Excessive signs, many of which are deteriorated and do not comply with the City' s sign code in terms of size and height, create a hodgepodge visual blight. This emphasizes the need for a cohesive revitalization program that will physically upgrade the area to make it more competitive with the other commercial areas in Orange County and thus capture more of the Orange County tax dollar for Huntington Beach. FUNDING SOURCE: None applicable. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: 1. Do not dopt the redevelopment :.urvey area, thereby eliminating the possibility of using the various resources that redevelopment might bring to the area. 2. Modify the survey area to reflect changes the City Council may desire to make to the boundary. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Draft Resolution No. 5407 2.
