Uberuaga, General Plan Update by Community Development Director Melanie Fallon, Edinger Corridor Report by Hank Cunningham, Consultant, Cunningham and Associates. City Overview The City Administrator presented a slide report on the importance to the city of the Edinger Corridor. He reviewed the demographics of the Edinger Corridor, stating that the Huntington Center Mall was integral to the Edinger Corridor. The City Administrator reviewed the city projects that are in the planning stages, including Huntington Center, Holly-Seacliff Development, Ruby's at the End of the Pier, Waterfront-Marriott complex (possible timeshares). He reviewed a slide presentation on why Huntington Beach is one of the best cities to live in the United States. Melanie Fallon, Community Development Director, addressed the participants regarding the importance of the General Plan stating that it was important to hear and receive input on the General Plan; that the General Plan is the long term vision for the city. The Overview of the Draft General Plan was distributed to all meeting participants. Herb Fauland, Associate Planner, referred to the document Overview of the Draft General Plan - April 1995. He reviewed the seven elements of a General Plan and the optional elements which the city has chosen to encompass, including an Economic Element and Urban Design Element. Brian James, Assistant Planner, presented a report on the proposed changes in the General Plan. He asked the participants to refer to their General Plan Maps in their packets. Page 4 - Council/Agency Minutes - 04/28/95 Edinger Corridor Report Hank Cunningham, consultant, Cunningham and Associates, presented a slide report regarding the importance of the Edinger Corridor to the city. He reviewed the demographics of the city as it relates to the Edinger Corridor stating that the Huntington Center Mall was integral to the Edinger Corridor. He reported on why the Huntington Center Mall cannot attempt to compete on the same basis as the Westminster Mall. He reviewed the Huntington Center Redevelopment Project Area and explained the current status of the fund balance. Mr. Cunningham presented a conceptual drawing done about five years ago showing the use of street frontage shops to bring the mall out into the street. He stated that possible public draws were movie theaters and operations such as the Tustin Market were also ways to bring in shopping that is ancillary to the entertainment offered. He spoke regarding the options the city may consider such as community consensus building tenant attraction, involvement of Redevelopment but most importantly to retain existing businesses. Mr. Cunningham suggested that perhaps Redevelopment could help with public improvement needs. Phil Inglee, President, Liberty National Bank, questioned why the city could not focus its attention on the northern portion of the city as it did on the downtown area. The Mayor and City Administrator responded regarding the city's attempts in this area including Economic Development Committee meetings and the membership of the northern area represented on the General Plan Advisory Committee. Mr. Inglee stated that something like the Marshall Plan is needed for this area as he believed it was in danger of having the first attributes of a blighted area. The Assistant City Administrator spoke regarding the city's current efforts to focus on this area. Councilmember Garofalo stated the need for the business owners to be vocal and the land owners cooperative. Councilmember Bauer stated that the City Council, Economic Planning Committee and the Economic Development Committee should hold their next meetings at the north end of town and develop an agenda. The Mayor responded to a question regarding what the city is doing to bring dollars to Huntington Beach citing items such as the Reader Board sign. Les Jones, Public Works Director, introduced Bob Eichblatt, City Engineer. Mr. Jones addressed the group regarding Public Works Department involvement, including the Smart Street Project, creative landscaping plans and the progress on the Gothard/Hoover Street project. Councilmember Garofalo spoke regarding the importance of vehicular access to the community such as Orange County's plans for bridges. A participant spoke in opposition to plans for high density at Warner Avenue and Beach Boulevard stating reasons why such density did not appear feasible. I Page 5 -Council/Agency Minutes - 04/28/95 Jack Caswell, representing Bill Maxey Toyota, stated that the.auto dealers would like to keep the Beach-Edinger Corridor as a common corridor and not break it up; that a "white hole" be planned for the present time along the Edinger Avenue-Beach Boulevard Commercial area and a Specific Plan prepared. He stated his fear that Huntington Beach has become an island; that Beach Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway are the only access and other routes are needed. The Mayor responded regarding other vehicular accesses which he stated he believed were unlikely to occur. The Community Development Director spoke regarding the "nodes" and "mixed uses" on Beach Boulevard-Edinger which needed to be explored with the business community as she believed it is the most controversial proposal. Mr. Caswell stated the reasons why many auto dealers could not be moved and why the focus must be to improve what the dealers have at their current location. Mr. Caswell thanked the city and the Economic Development Department for the upcoming promotional automobile event that will be attracting 10,000 persons to the city to purchase cars. In response to a question regarding the Huntington Beach Mall, Delia Chadwell stated that Huntington Center is within a week or two of announcing new leases on the former J. C. Penny's and Barker Brothers sites. In response to a question, discussion was held regarding the anticipated timelines for improvements as it had been commented upon earlier that the downtown improvements took 20 to 25 years to occur. The Assistant City Administrator responded that the Edinger Corridor would take about 5 years and Beach Boulevard will take a lot of work. He stated that money must be generated. Councilmember Bauer responded as to his commitment as a Councilmember and stated that the target area should be within the next two years as a new election cycle will begin then which affects plans. A business owner stressed the difficulty of explaining to his customers where the Huntington Center Mall is; that there must be more signage on the freeway. City Engineer Eichblatt responded that these comments will be studied. Mrs. Bischof responded that she has the same visibility problem at her business at Old World. A businessman spoke regarding the difficulty of getting into the downtown area as in his business he brings many people into the city and wants to show his visitors this area of the city. Joyce Riddell, Chamber of Commerce representative, spoke regarding the Chamber's current and future efforts for city business promotion. Ms. Riddell brought Council's attention to the pamphlet in the packet, entitled Small Business Administration.

As the"constitution," the General Plan contains the citizen's future vision for Huntington Beach and translates their hopes and aspirations into a set of policies. The decision makers can then utilize these policies to guide their decisions. All future land use decision must be consistent with the directions established in the General Plan. The policies contained in the General Plan are very general and broad in scope. The tool that translates the broad policy statements of the general plan into specific requirements orf individual land owners is.the City's Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. State law requires that the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance be consistent with the goals'and policies contained in the General Plan. Contents of the General Plan Mandatory Contents Every City is required by State law to provide a General Plan that addresses, at minimum, the following seven topics, or elements: • Land Use - identifies the location and distribution of land uses such as residential or commercial and specifies the amount of building intensity. The Land Use Element for Huntington Beach includes policies that address design and development principles. • Circulation - identifies the current and future transportation needs for the City and sets policies that ensure a safe and efficient transportation system. • Housing - identifies the amount and need for housing in the City and sets forth policies that address the development, preservation and improvement of the housing stock. • Open Space - identifies the location and need for open spaces in the community and sets policies that address the conservation or use of that space. • Safety - identifies seismic, geologic, flood and other natural hazards in the City and establishes policies to help protect the community from the hazards they present. • Conservation - identifies natural resources including water, forests, soils, mineral deposits and wildlife and sets policies that address their conservation and development. • Noise - identifies noise issues and noise sensitive areas and sets policies that address methods for noise abatement. Optional Elements The City of Huntington Beach has chosen to create the following optional topics, or elements, in the update of the General Plan: • Economic Development - identifies the economic issues in the City and sets policies that address strategies for the long term economic stability and growth of the community. • Urban Design - identifies the aesthetic strengths and weaknesses of the City and sets policies that address strategies that enhance the aesthetic quality of the community. 1 • • • Historic and Cultural Resources - identifies the historic and cultural resources in the City and sets policies that address their conservation, enhancement, preservation and use. • Utilities - identifies the capacities of the City's existing utility systems and identifies improvements required to serve future development. • Public Facilities and Public Services - identifies the types and quality of services offered to the citizens of Huntington Beach and sets policies that address the provision of the services and facilities in the future. • Air Quality - identifies the state of the City's air quality and sets policies that address strategies for its improvement. • Parks, Beaches, Recreation and Community Services - identifies the recreational opportunities and needs of the community and sets polices that address the preservation, enhancement and provision of recreational opportunities. • Coastal - identifies areas of the City that are within the State mandated coastal areas and sets policies that address the use, development and preservation of the coast line. Why is the General Plan Being Updated? Although the General Plan has been periodically amended, the current General Plan last underwent a comprehensive update in 1976. Since that time, many of the policies and baseline information in the existing General Plan has become outdated and no longer reflect existing conditions. In addition, many of the legal requirements for General Plan have changed since 1976. In order to accurately reflect the desires and needs of today's residents and to plan for the next 20 years, the General Plan must be updated. How was the General Plan Updated? A 27 member advisory committee, called the General Plan' Advisory Committee, or GPAC, has been meeting for the past three (3) years on a regular basis. The GPAC is composed of citizens from various backgrounds and with a wide variety of interests. The GPAC's recommendations and discussions have been guided by input from City Staff and a land use consultant, ENVICOM. The GPAC has identified the community's strengths and weaknesses and has developed policies to address them. These policies have been compiled into the Draft General Plan. What is the Next Step in the General Plan Process? Now that the GPAC has finalized their recommendations, the Draft General Plan must be reviewed by the Planning Commission and then adopted by the City Council. The portions of the General Plan that are within the coastal zone must then be certified by the State Coastal Commission. 2 Maior Recommendations of the Draft General plan The first major recommendation of the proposed General Plan is to be as comprehensive as possible and incorporate the new laws and requirements. The proposed General Plan is thus an effective and complete guiding document for decision makers. Besides the required elements, the optional elements (Listed above) provide clear direction in areas that have not been previously addressed in the City's "constitution". For instance, the Urban Design Element and Land Use Elements will provide guidance for the aesthetic quality of the City. In addition, the Economic Development Element will provide guidance for the economic stability and growth of the community, and the Historic and Cultural Resources Element will provide direction for the conservation, enhancement and preservation of the City's historic and cultural resources. Another major recommendation of the proposed General Plan is to place a ceiling on the amount of growth that can occur in the City. The ceiling is based upon the ability of the City's infrastructure (Roads, sewers, storm drains, etc.) and government services (Fire, police, etc.) to serve the residents in a quality manner. If this ceiling is approached, the infrastructure and services may have to be adjusted to maintain the quality of life for the existing residents. The land use designations of the proposed General Plan remain basically unchanged from the existing designations. The following highlights the major recommended land use changes by area (Please refer to the attached subarea map): Pacific Coast Highway The basic concept for Pacific Coast Highway is create distinctive, identifiable areas of activity or interest along its length. This can be accomplished through the following subareas: (Subarea 4B) The northwest corner of Golden West Street and PCH- Allow medium to high density residential development in conjunction with a specific plan. The existing designation allows for a combination of Industrial Resource Production and Medium Density Residential. (Subarea 4E) The southeast corner of Beach Boulevard and PCH- Allow mixed development in conjunction with a specific plan. Development would be allowed only in areas not officially designated as wetlands and only if wetlands are maintained and protected. The existing designation allows a variation of Visitor Serving Commercial and Open Space Conservation. (Subarea 4H) The area north of PCH between the Edison Plant and Brookhurst Street - Allow low density residential development in conjunction with a specific plan. Development would be allowed only in areas not officially designated as wetlands and only if wetlands are protected and maintained. The existing designation is Open Space Conservation. (Portion of Subarea 9F) The area west of Newland Street and north of the flood control channel - Allow for industrial development. The existing designation is Open Space Conservation. 3 Beach Boulevard The concept for Beach Boulevard is to encourage islands of dense commercial to develop at major intersections and allow some high density residential development to occur in selected areas along Beach Boulevard. This will break up the continuous strip of commercial and help create distinctive, identifiable commercial areas. This can be accomplished thorough the following subareas: (Subarea 6B) The area north of Warner Avenue - Allow mixed use development, encouraging automobile dealers to locate in this area. Commercial depth is increased in some areas to provide adequate commercial depths. The existing designation is a mixture General Commercial and Medium High Density Residential. (Subarea 6H) The areas south of Warner Avenue, north of Yorktown Avenue and north of Adams - Allow high density residential development as infill. The existing designation is General Commercial. (Portion of Subarea 6G) The Crestview School site located on Talbert Avenue and Beach Boulevard - Allow general commercial development on the western half of the site and low density residential development on the eastern half. The existing designation on the western half is Low Density Residential. Edinger Avenue The concept for Edinger Avenue is to create an area of regional commercial activity. This can be accomplished through design principles and the following subareas: (Subarea 5C) The area south of Edinger Avenue between Golden West Street and Beach Boulevard- Allow regional commercial development such as the big box retailers. The existing designation is General Commercial. (Subarea 6G) The area north of Edinger Avenue and east of Golden West Street - Allow commercial development on the frontage of Golden West College. The existing designation is Public, Quasi- Public/Institutional. (Subarea 5F) The area east of Gothard Street and north of Center Drive - Allow commercial development in conjunction with the existing transit center. The existing designation is a combination of Mixed Development and Public, Quasi-Public/Institutional. (Subarea 5A) The area north of Edinger Avenue and west of Beach Boulevard - Allow mixed development, including residential, at the Huntington Center. The existing designation is General Commercial.

To compile our final listing, we ranked cities within each group by five crucial measures—business license tax, office space lease rates,median home price,crime rate,and cost of education—then averaged these together. The result:Huntington Beach in Orange County emerged as best big city for business,while Lancaster in Los Angeles County was ranked best mid-sized city. Both have low Huntington business taxes—although, interestingly enough, not the lowest.(Two cities-4th-ranked Glendale in the top 15 and Beach 2nd-ranked Sunnyvale in the middle cities—have no busi- ness taxes at all.) Moreover, Huntington Beach has the the lowest crime rate in its group,and Lancaster is ranked 1 Oth is ' in crime in its category.Both have low office lease rates and spend healthy amounts on education.

The Edinger Corridor is a very significant part of our City's business tax base and it is clear that the area needs to be upgraded. Please know that the City Council and staff appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration as we take the action steps needed to bring about positive change. By on-going cooperative action among businesses and between the City of Huntington Beach and the business community, we can continue to strengthen our City's business tax base. Attached for your information is a meeting summary and a list of participants. Sincerely, �'Gc'.o'L •� Victor Leipzig Mayor VL:TA:dw Tom/Letter/mallsumm Anjo,Japan SISTER CITIES aitakere. Ne%, Zealand Introduction Mayor Victor Leipzig welcomed the participants. Attendees were asked to introduce themselves. The Mayor thanked Della Chadwell, Manager of the Huntington Beach Mall, for hosting the meeting. The meeting was called to order as an adjourned City Council meeting as required by the Brown Act. City Overview City Administrator, Michael T. Uberuaga, showed transparencies relative to city projects and City finances. Attached are copies of these transparencies. He briefly discussed the General Plan Update in relationship to creating a vision for the community. General Plan Update Melanie Fallon, Community Development Director, briefly discussed the importance of the General Plan Update as a long term vision for the city of Huntington Beach. Herb Fauland and Brian James gave a presentation on the. General Plan and they passed out a General Plan-Update Summary to all present. Edinger Corridor Report Mr. Hank Cunningham, a consultant for the City of Huntington, was introduced to give an update on the status of the Edinger Corridor Development Plan. The Edinger Corridor is that area on Edinger Avenue from Golden West Street to Beach Boulevard. Mr. Cunningham made the following points regarding the economic viability of this commercial area: • The demographics within a five mile radius show strong buying power. The average income is $70,000 and the population is 550,000. The average income in this area is 10% higher than the County average. • The economic success of the Edinger Corridor is tied to the actions of the Huntington Beach Mall. The Mall can be a major catalyst for customers to come to the area. • Sales tax from the Edinger Corridor area has been decreasing and this trend needs to be changed to enhance the economic strength of the area. Major changes are needed to strengthen the Mall such as adding restaurants next to the street, adding movies/entertainment and the addition of high volume discount retail stores. • Examples of successful shopping centers are the Tustin Market Place, Fashion Island, and the Century City Plaza. Topics Raised During Questions and Answers • The Public Works Director reported the Gothard/IHoover Street project is progressing and that the Beach Boulevard/1-405 landscape project is proceeding as scheduled. • The City should focus on the North Huntington Beach Commercial area. • The North Huntington Beach Business Association does hold regular meetings. Della Chadwell at the Huntington Beach Mall is the contact person. • An action plan is needed to revitalize the Edinger Corridor Commercial.Area. • The City Council Economic Development Committee will review the Edinger Corridor Development Plan revitalization actions as proposed by staff in the Fall of 1995. • Additional major arterials are needed to provide easier access across the City of Huntington Beach for potential customers from Costa Mesa and Long Beach. • The Huntington Beach Auto Dealers Association would like to see the Edinger Avenue/Beach Boulevard Commercial Area designated as a "White Hole Area" for the General Plan Update and then have a Specific Plan prepared within one year. The existing General Plan would remain in place during the preparation of the Specific Plan. Staff explained that normally the General Plan is revised first, followed by consideration of rezoning through possibly a Specific Plan. • incentives for businesses are needed now, five years is too long to wait. • The Huntington Beach Small Business Assistance Center located in Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce office provides free counseling of small business. • The Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce will be discussing a City-wide marketing program that could possibly bring more customers to Huntington Beach. • Improved access and signage is needed for all businesses located on Center Avenue. • Retention and expansion of existing business is a high priority for retaining a strong. economic tax base. • Community consensus building is needed to implement significant programs to increase business development. • The City is also working with all businesses in our Industrial Areas to retain, expand and to attract new industrial businesses. • Improved signing is needed to assist motorists to reach Downtown from the I-40S freeway. • The Shop at Home Program keeps needed tax dollars in the City of Huntington Beach.

Overhead#1 - Trade Area Map • Heavy retail competition within 5-mile trade area radius from Beach/Edinger with three regional and one super regional shopping centers (excluding South Coast Plaza). • However, very high area demographics: - $70,000/average family income - Over 1/2 million population - Slightly higher income than Huntington Beach City, nearly 10% higher than Orange County • Huntington Beach city demographics also strong: - High income (majority over$50,000/year) - Low unemployment - College grads = 32% + - White collar= 71% + - Owner occupied housing = 55% + - High housing values - Retail potential particularly good for restaurants and apparel Overhead#2-Huntington Beach Mail • Edinger Corridor retail viability closely tied to that of Huntington Center. • Mall can serve as catalyst for other retail activity along corridor. • Mall is not in position to compete effectively with Westminster as a super regional (J.C. Penney, etc.). • General Plan Land Use Element acknowledges need for upgrading Mall. Overhead#3- Project Area Map • Adopted 1984, Huntington Center Project currently designated for General Commercial and Mixed Development land uses. • Project extends along both sides of Edinger from Beach Boulevard to SPRR tracks. • Due to declining real estate values caused by the recession, project is suffering a negative cash flow situation. • Fund balances are insufficient to sustain these losses over an extended period. • Project tax increment revenues must be bolstered in order to reverse the declining property tax base and retain bonding capacity. • In addition, 3rd Quarter 1994 sales were down by 1/3 from 1993 and trending in the wrong direction. 2 Overhead#4- Conceptual Drawing • Despite obvious challenges, Edinger Corridor has tremendous potential as regional draw due to location and demographics. • Conceptual drawing from a 1990 Huntington Center revitalization workshop illustrates one potential scenario for upgrading the Mall. • Under this concept, mall entrance would be opened up and oriented more to the street, rather than inwardly, with specialty retail, restaurants, etc., serving to draw customers to interior. • Enclosed shopping malls are currently falling out of fashion among retailers (°Demalling of America"). • New wave directed toward total shopping experience, including dining and entertainment. • No longer tied to traditional twin department store anchors. • Many successful new centers, such as Tustin Marketplace, combine large discount retail with theaters, restaurants, and specialty shops. • Even established malls, such as Century City Plaza and Fashion Island at Newport Center, have been revamped to a more open-air feel, with an emphasis on entertainment and outside browsing. Conclusion/Alternatives All of this goes to say that the Edinger Corridor has a number of options at hand. 1) No action -hope that general economy improves and retail along with it. 2) Heavy public sector involvement through redevelopment process (debt financing, site assembly, condemnation ?) Example: Main Place, Santa Ana. 3) Public/private joint effort involving shared responsibilities for planning and finance (specific plan overlay, community consensus building, targeted tenant attraction, assistance for existing tenants, public infrastructure improvements). This gathering represents a start for the latter option, one which hopefully, will emerge as the most viable direction to take.
