CONCLUSION 10 APPENDIX A - PROJECT AREA MAP APPENDIX B - LEGAL DESCRIPTION PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR AMENDMENT NO. ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT I. 'INTRODUCTION The purpose -of this Preliminary Plan is to provide direction for the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency in the development of methods and procedures to satisfy the needs of its residents and businessmen in the development of a viable and active residential and commercial base in the area proposed as Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project. This amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Oak—view Redevelopment Project only involves a change in the limitation on the tax increments which may be allocated to the Redevelopment Agency pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33670 and an updatina of the Redevelopment Plan and all other documents related to the Plan amendment process to the current standards of the California Community Redevelopment Law. The amended Plan will not change the Project Area boundaries or the restrictions on eminent domain. This amendment is necessary since the existing limitation, which stipulates that the Redevelopment Agency may not collect more than $350,000 in tax increments during any one fiscal year, does not provide sufficient funds for the successful implementation of this Project. The basic goal of the Preliminary Plan is to assist in the replanning or redesign of redevelopment areas which are presently stagnant .or improperly utilized because of defective or inadequate street layout, faulty lot layout in relation to size, shape, accessibility or usefulness. In addition, the Plan proposes to arrest the decline and decay of blight throughout the Project Area through the restoration and revitalization of former and existing uses and the development of new uses. • This Preliminary Plan will outline the conditions deterring growth and preventing the City from achieving its full potential. It will 1 focus on means to redevelop stagnating and blighted areas in such a way as to stimulate and attract private investment, thereby improving the City's economic health, employment opportunities and revenue producing activities. The above referenced conditions include, but are not limited to, deterioration or disuse due to irregular and inadequate lot layout, inadequate public improvements and services, depreciated property values, impaired investments, lack of employment opportunities, and social and economic maladjustment. These conditions also include unfit or unsafe commercial and residential structures due to deteriorated construction, faulty spacing, inadequate open space, age, obsolescence, and mixed and shifting uses. The Preliminary Plan is an initial framework document which will be adjusted during the review and adoption process of the Redevelopment Project. More detailed and specific studies are to be initiated which will target more specific problems, programs and actions necessary to effectuate the achievement of public policy. A "Project Area" is defined by the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Sections 33000 et. seq. ) as a predominantly urbanized area of a community which is in a blighted condition, the redevelopment of which is necessary to effectuate public policy. The Planning Commission, based upon the Survey Area designated by the City Council, selects and directs that this area be studied and analyzed to determine if existing conditions permit the establishment of a redevelopment project. The Planning Commission may select one or more project areas comprised of all or part of any survey area. The lands included within a project area may be either contiguous or noncontiguous. All noncontiguous areas may be included in a project area based upon a determination that such areas exhibit one or more of the blighting conditions specified in Health and Safety Code Sections 33031 and • 2 33032 (which are delineated in Section VIII of this Preliminary . Plan) , or that such areas are necessary for effective redevelopment as described in Health and Safety Code Section 33320.2. The Planning Commission, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33325, shall submit the Preliminary Plan for the Project Area to the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency. Health and Safety Code Section 33324 states that a Preliminary Plan need not be detailed and is sufficient if it: (a) Describes the boundaries of the Project Area. (b) Contains a general statement of the land uses, layout of principal streets, population densities, and building intensities and standards proposed as the basis for the redevelopment of the Project Area. (c) Shows how the purpose of the California Community Redevelopment Law would be attained by such redevelopment. (d) Shows that the proposed redevelopment conforms to the City's General Plan. (e) Describes, generally, the impact of, the Project upon residents thereof and upon the surrounding neighborhoods. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PROJECT AREA The boundaries .of the proposed Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project are illustrated on the map accompanying this report, labeled as Figure 1 in Appendix A. The legal description of the proposed Project Area is attached hereto as Appendix B. III. GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED LAND USES • Asa basis for the redevelopment of the area initially proposed as Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project it is proposed 3 that development and redevelopment be in conformance with the adopted General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach, subject to all review and procedural requirements in effect as development and redevelopment takes place within the final Project Area boundaries. All land uses permitted within the Project Area shall be in conformance with the Land Use Element of the Huntington Beach General . Plan. IV. GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED LAYOUT OF PRINCIPAL STREETS As a basis for the redevelopment of the Project Area, it is proposed that, in general, the layout of principal streets and those that will be developed in the Project Area be as shown on the Huntington Beach General Plan Circulation Element and as permitted by future actions of legally authorized public entities. Existing streets within the Project Area may be closed, widened or otherwise modified, and additional streets may be created as necessary for proper pedestrian and/or vehicular circulation. V. GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED POPULATION Within the confines of the General Plan Land Use designations, there will be a permitted range of development. Population densities will be in conformance with the Huntington Beach General Plan. VI. GENERAL STATEMENT OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING INTENSITIES As basis for the redevelopment of the Project Area it is proposed that, in general, the building intensity be controlled by limits on: (1) the percentage of ground area covered by buildings (land coverage) ; (2) the ratio of total floor area for all stories of the buildings to areas of the building sites (floor area ratio) ; (3) the size and the location of the buildable areas on building sites; and (4) the heights of buildings. The land coverage, sizes and locations of buildable areas should be limited, as feasible, to provide 4 adequate open space and parking areas. The limits on building intensity shall be established in accordance with the limits contained in the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach. VII. GENERAL STATEMENT OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING STANDARDS It is proposed that, in general, the building standards shall conform to all building requirements of applicable State statutes and local codes and ordinances. VIII. ATTAINMENT OF THE PURPOSES OF THE LAW The proposed redevelopment of the proposed Project Area would attain the purposes of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Sections 33000 et. seq. ) . The purpose of this section is to provide a general description of the conditions within the proposed Amendment No. One to the oakview Redevelopment Project that are characteristic of blight. The California Community Redevelopment Law defines a "blighted area" as one which is characterized by one or more of those conditions set forth in Sections. 33031 or 33032,- causing "a reduction of, or lack of, proper utilization of the area to such an extent that it constitutes a serious physical, social, or economic burden on the community which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting alone." The law establishes two (2) broad categories for blight, one citing a poor physical environment as being conducive to social and health problems, and the second describing a retarded economic condition .resulting largely from poor planning and inadequate public improvements. Health and Safety Code Section 33031 states that "a blighted area is characterized by the existence of buildings and structures, used or intended to be used for living, commercial, industrial, or other purposes, or any combination of such uses, which are unfit or unsafe 5 to occupy for such purposes and are conducive to ill health, • transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, and crime because of any one or a combination of the following factors:" (a) Defective design and character of physical construction; (b) Faulty interior arrangement and exterior spacing; (c) High density of population and overcrowding; (d) Inadequate provision for ventilation, light., sanitation, open spaces, and recreation facilities; and (e) Age, obsolescence, deterioration, dilapidation, mixed character, or shifting of uses. Health and Safety Code Section 33032 further states that "a blighted area is characterized by properties which suffer from economic . dislocation, deterioration, or disuse because of one or more of the following factors which- cause a reduction of, or lack of, proper utilization of the area to such an extent that it constitutes a serious physical, social, or economic burden on the community which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting alone: (a) The subdividing and sale of lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate size for proper usefulness and development; (b) The laying out of lots in disregard of the contours and other topography or physical characteristics of the ground and surrounding -conditions; (c) The existence of inadequate public improvements, public facilities, open spaces, and utilities which cannot be remedied by private or governmental action without redevelopment; 6 (d) A prevalence of depreciated values, impaired investments, and social and economic maladjustment." For many years the citizens and governmental officials of the City of Huntington Beach have been aware of the adverse conditions in the commercial and residential areas within the Project Area boundaries. The conditions in this Area have contributed to the physical deterioration of structures and infrastructure, a lack of proper utilization of the Area, a decline in the economic viability of the Area, impaired investments, and social and economic maladjustment. Generally, the proposed Project Area is one which provides the viewer with the impression of a section of the City which contains underutilized parcels and structures which reflect a general lack of i ' cohesiveness and unity. Numerous commercial and residential structures are in need of some rehabilitation. The absence of adequate street lights and sidewalks contributes to the Area's vehicular/pedestrian flow problems. The lack of adequate water and drainage facilities adds credibility to the Area's need for redevelopment. The proposed Project Area is currently characterized by economic blight caused by underutilized properties and the existence of inadequate public facilities, improvements, and utilities. There is, generally, poor visual quality to much of the proposed Project Area including: 1. Inadequate landscaping, buffering, and setbacks from public rights-of-way and adjacent uses of land; 2. Poorly maintained buildings; 3. Dominate use of overhead utility lines and poles; 4. Poorly maintained vacant lots, often used for the discard of trash and obsolete items; 5. Rights-of-way lacking landscaping; and 6. Inadequate and deficient public improvements. 7. Deficient circulation system, including deteriorated/missing curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. In conclusion, the proposed Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project exhibits many of the characteristics of blight as defined by the California Community Redevelopment Law as summarized below: 1. Deficient, deteriorated, and dilapidated structures and infrastructure; 2. Inadequate street, parking, and pedestrian conditions; 3. Flooding, inadequate drainage, and lack of flood control facilities; 4. Mixed and incompatible land uses; 5. Irregularly shaped and inadequately sized parcels; and 6. Vacant and underutilized parcels. Benefits will occur to the present and future inhabitants and property owners within the proposed Project Area as well as to the residents and taxpayers of the City at large if the Project Area is redeveloped. Redevelopment of the Project Area would be attained through the following: 1. The comprehensive planning, redesign, replanning, development, reconstruction or rehabilitation of the Area would facilitate a higher and better utilization of the lands within the Project Area, thereby contributing to the public health, safety and welfare; 8 2. Stimulating construction activity and increasing employment in the commercial and industrial segments of the community; 3. Assisting in the financing, reconstruction and/or construction of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, streets, flood control improvements and other public facilities; 4. The attraction of residential and commercial uses to stagnant unproductive areas, including the recycling of land uses into viable productive uses consistent with the City's General Plan; and 5. Assisting in the development of residential, commercial and industrial construction by financing such development in the Project Area in such a way which will make the development economically feasible. IX. CONFORMANCE TO THE GENERAL PLAN OF THE CITY The Preliminary Plan conforms to the City of Huntington Beach's General Plan. The Preliminary Plan proposes a similar pattern of land uses and includes all highways and public facilities indicated by the General Plan. X. GENERAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT UPON THE RESIDENTS AND THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS The negative impacts of the Project upon residents of the proposed Project Area and surrounding neighborhoods will, in general, be minimal. There may be short term inconveniences placed upon residents using the circulation system within the Project Area during the construction of public works improvements. However, these short term negative impacts will be offset by the long term positive improvements to the Project Area. The positive impacts upon the Project Area residents and the surrounding neighborhoods will, in • 9 general, involve improvements to traffic circulation, public facilities and services, parking, environmental quality, employment opportunities, and economic development. It is anticipated that direct Agency activity will occur only when sufficient financial resources are available -and such action will produce effective and immediate redevelopment results. Thus, the proposed Redevelopment Project is intended to be phased with a limited scope of direct activity at any given time. This subject will be discussed in depth by the Redevelopment Agency in the Report to Council which will accompany the proposed Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area. XI. CONCLUSION The Preliminary Plan, as the initial document produced in the redevelopment plan adoption process, conforms to the requirements of the California Community Redevelopment Law. The Preliminary Report is generalized and nonspecific in detail in its parts, evidencing its purpose as a preliminary directional guideline document.

Cook, City Administrator Prepared by: Douglas N. La Belle, Deputy City Administrator/Economic Develop en Subject: Determination that a Project Area Committee is not necessary for tendmenit No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project Consistent with Council Policy? l Yes [ ] New Policy or Exception Iq Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Fundinq Source, Alternative Actions, Attachments: STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Consideration of a Project Area Committee is a necessary step for the City Council in the adoption process for the proposed-amended Redevelopment Plan. RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize the City Clerk to execute the attached Resolution. ANALYSIS: Pursuant to Section 33385 of the California.Community Redevelopment Law (CCRL), the legislative body shall approve a representative Project Area Committee (PAC) in each Project Area within 60 days after the Project Area is selected by the Planning Commission, unless. the Project will not displace . a substantial . number of low- and moderate-income families. This amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Oakview Redevelopment Project only involves a change in the 'limitation on the tax increments which maybe -allocated to the Redevelopment Agency pursuant to Section 33670 of the CCRL and will not change the Proiect Area boundaries or the restrictions on eminent domain. Since the proposed amended Project will not result in the displacement of a substantial number of low and moderate-income families, the City Council may determine that a Project Area Committee is not necessary for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project. This section of the Redevelopment Law allows the Agency to do without the formalities of a PAC, while still directing the ' Agency to informally confer with area residents, business people, and community organizations about policy matters that may affect residents and businesses in the Project Area. i 4A FUNDING SOURCE: The amendment to the Oakview Redevelopment Project is a budgeted Agency administrative expense. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: Do not approve the attached . Resolution. This will pre-empt continuation of this amendment. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Dated: November 22 , 1988 Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency Check one only Paul Cook Initial Plan Executive Director X Amended Plan PROJECT DESCRIPTION AMENDMENT NO. ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT This Project involves the adoption and implementation of Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project located in the City of Huntington Beach (see attached Project Area map) . The proposed Project Area, consisting of approximately 68 acres, is predominately urbanized with commercial and residential land uses and community facilities. The land uses permitted in the proposed Project Area will be those permitted by the Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, as amended from time to time. The density, intensity and other development regulations also will be those contained in the City-Is General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Although these permitted land uses have already- been subjected to CEQA review when the General .Plan was adopted, this EIR will investigate the impacts of buildout under the current General Plan since the amended Redevelopment Project may hasten and possibly intensify the development that might otherwise occur. The purpose of this amended Redevelopment Project is ,to assist in the elimination of those conditions within the Project Area that are conducive to blight. The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency will • undertake a variety. of activities designed to eliminate the existing blighting conditions. These activities and their impacts, along -with the impacts of buildout, will be the main focus of the environmental review process. The activities of the Agency projected at this time are listed below. These activities will be discussed in further detail in the draft EIR. 1. The construction and reconstruction of streets, which may include resurfacing, restriping, realignment, widening, and improved signalization. 2 . The construction, reconstruction, and improvement of other public works, including parking, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, sewers, storm drains, and water mains. 3 . Assistance in land purchase and assembly for development projects. 4 . Rehabilitate deteriorated residential and commercial structures. 5. Encourage existing owners, businesses and tenants within the Project Area to participate in the redevelopment activities. • 6. Landscaping, installation of pedestrian and transit amenities, historic renovation, visual enhancement of commercial structures, and other beautification activities. Most of the environmental impacts of these activities are projected to be beneficial rather than adverse. However, some short-term adverse impacts are projected due to the public and private construction activities, such as dust, noise, and traffic disruptions. In addition, some long-term impacts may occur from the hastened and intensified buildout, such as increased traffic, but these will ultimately be mitigated to an insignificant level by the activities listed above, resulting in a net improvement relative to the existing conditions.

ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT Section I. GENERAL These rules are promulgated to implement the provisions of the amended Redevelopment Plan (the "Plan") for Amendment No. One to the oakview Redevelopment Project regarding participation and the exercise of preferences by owners, operators of businesses, and tenants in the Project Area. These rules set forth the procedures governing such participation. • Participation is desired in the restoration and -redevelopment of the Project Area by as many owners and tenants as possible. The Agency shall extend preferences to persons who are owners and tenants in the Project Area, to continue in or, if the Agency acquires the land of an owner or the land on which a tenant is located, to , re-enter the Project Area if any such owner or tenant otherwise meets the requirements prescribed in the Plan and in these Rules. The Agency is also authorized to permit persons who are owners of real property in the Project Area to be given the opportunity to participate in the restoration and redevelopment of the Project Area by retaining, and if necessary rehabilitating, all or a portion of their properties, by acquiring adjacent or other properties in the Project Area, by selling their properties to the Agency and purchasing other properties in the Project Area or by selling improvements to the Agency and redeveloping their property. Participation opportunities shall necessarily be subject to and limited by such factors as the following: i 1 170 1 . Removal, relocation and/or installation of public utilities and public facilities. 2 . The elimination and changing of some land uses. 3 . The realignment, abandonment, widening or opening of public rights-of-way. 4 . . The ability of owners to finance acquisition and development in accordance with the Plan. 5. Any reduction in the total number of individual parcels in the Project Area. 6. The assembly and development of areas for public and/or private development in accordance with the Plan. If conflicts develop between the desires of participants for particular sites or land uses, the Agency is authorized to establish reasonable priorities and preferences among the owners and tenants and to determine a solution by consideration of such factors as length of time in the area; accommodation of as many participants as possible; ability to perform; similar land use to similar land use; • and conformity with the intent and purpose of the Plan. Participation to the extent feasible shall be available for two or more persons, firms or institutions, to join together in partnerships, corporations, or other joint entities. Section II. TYPES OF PARTICIPATION Participation includes remaining in substantially the same location either by retaining all or portions of the property, or by retaining all or portions of the property and purchasing adjacent property from the Agency. An owner who participates in the same location may be required to rehabilitate or demolish all or part of his existing buildings or the Agency may acquire the buildings only and then remove or demolish the buildings. Participation also includes the Agency buying land and improvements at fair market value from existing owners, and offering other parcels for purchase by such participants. Participation also includes business and residential tenants obtaining preferences to re-enter the Project Area. ,J s l t 2 170 Section III. PARTICIPATION PROCEDURE A. Certificate of Conformance The Project Area contains many parcels of real property, and as such, there is a need to simplify the availability of participation opportunities. Therefore, as an alternative to requiring a participation agreement for each property not to be purchased or subject to Agency acquisition by eminent domain, the Agency is authorized to make determinations of those properties which conform to the Plan. The Agency shall in good faith review the property contained in the Project Area and issue Certificates of Conformance to qualifying properties as soon as possible, consistent with the restoration and redevelopment permitted by the Plan and specific designs for development adopted by the Agency pursuant to the Plan. B. Participation Agreements The Agency is authorized to enter into participation agreements regarding properties not purchased or not to be purchased by the Agency and not included in an Agency Certificate of Conformance. Each agreement will contain provisions necessary to insure that the participation proposal will be carried out, and that the subject property will be developed or used in accordance with the conditions, restrictions, rules and regulations of the Plan and the agreement. Each agreement will require the participant to join in the recordation of such documents as the Agency may require to insure such development and use. Participation agreements will be effective only if approved by the Members of the Agency. C.

ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT Prepared by: Urban Futures, Incorporated Fullerton, California Advisors to the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency HUNTINGTON BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY RULES GOVERNING PARTICIPATION AND PREFERENCES BY OWNERS, OPERATORS OF BUSINESSES, AND TENANTS FOR AMENDMENT NO. ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT Section I. GENERAL These rules are promulgated to implement the provisions of the amended Redevelopment Plan (the "Plan") for Amendment No. One to the Oakview •Redevelopment Project regarding participation and the exercise of preferences by owners, operators of businesses, and tenants in the Project Area. These rules set forth the procedures governing such participation. It is the intention of the Agency to encourage and permit participation in the redevelopment of the Project Area by as many owners, operators of businesses, and tenants residing within the Project Area boundaries as possible. The Agency shall extend preferences to persons who are owners and tenants in the Project Area, to continue in or, if the Agency acquires the land of an owner or the land on which a tenant is located, to re-enter the Project Area if any such owner or tenant otherwise meets the requirements prescribed in the Plan and in these Rules. The Agency is also authorized to permit persons who are owners of real property in the Project Area to be given the opportunity to participate in the restoration and redevelopment of the Project Area by retaining, and if necessary rehabilitating, all or a portion of their properties, by acquiring adjacent or other properties in the Project Area, by selling their properties to the Agency and purchasing other properties in the Project Area or by selling improvements to the Agency and redeveloping their property. Participation opportunities shall necessarily be subject to and limited by such factors as the following: 1 1. Removal, relocation and/or installation of public utilities and public facilities., 2. The elimination and changing of some land uses. 3. The realignment, abandonment, widening or opening of public rights-of-way. 4. The ability of owners to finance acquisition and development in accordance with the Plan. 5. Any reduction in the total number of individual parcels in the Project Area. 6. The assembly and development of areas for public and/or private development in accordance with the Plan. If conflicts develop between the desires of participants for particular sites or land uses, the Agency is authorized to establish reasonable priorities and preferences among the owners and tenants and to determine a solution by consideration of such factors as length of time in the area; accommodation of as many participants as possible; ability to perform; similar land use to similar land use; and conformity with the intent and purpose of the Plan. Participation to the extent feasible shall be available for two or more persons, firms or institutions, to join together in partnerships, corporations, or other joint entities. Section II. TYPES OF PARTICIPATION Participation includes remaining in substantially the same location either by retaining all or portions of the property, or by retaining all or portions of the property and purchasing adjacent property from the Agency. An owner who participates in the same location may be required to rehabilitate or demolish all or part of his existing buildings or the Agency may acquire the buildings only and then remove or demolish the buildings. Participation also includes the Agency buying land and improvements at fair market value from existing owners, and offering other parcels for purchase by such participants. Participation also includes business and residential tenants obtaining preferences to re-enter the Project Area. 2 Section III. PARTICIPATION PROCEDURE A. Certificate of Conformance The Project Area contains many parcels of real property, and as such, there is a need to simplify the availability of participation opportunities. Therefore, as an alternative to requiring a participation agreement for each property not to be purchased or subject to Agency acquisition by eminent domain, the Agency is- authorized to make determinations of those properties which conform to the Plan. The Agency shall in good faith review the property contained in the Project Area and issue Certificates of Conformance to qualifying properties as soon as .possible, consistent with the restoration and redevelopment permitted by the Plan and specific designs for development adopted by the Agency pursuant to the Plan. B. Participation Agreements The Agency is. authorized to enter into participation agreements regarding properties not purchased or not to be purchased by the Agency and not included in an Agency Certificate of Conformance. Each agreement will contain provisions necessary to insure that the participation proposal will be carried out, and that the subject property will be developed or used in accordance with the conditions, restrictions, rules and regulations of the Plan and the agreement. Each agreement will require the participant to join in the recordation of such documents as the Agency may require to insure such development and use. Participation agreements will be effective only if approved by the Members of the Agency. C. Statements of Interest Before making offers to purchase property in the Project Area, the Agency shall notify the last known assessee of any such properties by certified mail, return receipt requested, that the Agency is considering the acquisition of such property. Such notification will refer to these participation rules and shall include a form entitled "Statement of Interest in Participation" with the notification. Within 30 days of receipt of such notification any owner interested in participating in the Project Area shall file a "Statement of Interest in Participation". 3 The Agency may disregard any Statements received after such 30-day period. Any owner or tenant may also submit such a statement at any time before such notification. The Agency shall consider such Statements as are submitted on . time and seek to develop reasonable participation in accordance with the Plan and any design for development adopted by the Agency, for those submitting such statements to stay in place, to move to another location, or to obtain preferences to re-enter the Project Area. The submission of a Statement does not guarantee that a property owner or tenant will be permitted to retain such property. Section IV. ENFORCEMENT In the event a property is not developed or used in conformance with the Plan, and with a Certificate of Conformance or a Participation Agreement, then the Agency is authorized to; (1) purchase the property; (2) purchase any interest in the property sufficient to obtain conformance; or (3) take any other appropriate action sufficient to obtain such conformance. Section V. AMENDMENTS OF OWNER PARTICIPATION RULES The Agency may amend these Rules at any meeting held after their adoption but only after notice to the Agency Members. Such notice shall be delivered at least ten (10) days before the date of the meeting at which the proposed amendment will be considered. i 4 HUNTINGTON BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AMENDMENT NO.

CHAPMAN AVE. , #106, FULLERTON, CA 92631 • i . PROJECT DESCRIPTION AMENDMENT NO. ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT This Project involves the adoption and implementation of Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project located in the City of Huntington Beach (see attached Project Area map) . The proposed Project Area, consisting of approximately 68 acres, is predominately- urbanized with commercial and residential .land uses and community facilities. The land uses permitted in the proposed Project Area will be those permitted by the Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, as amended from time to time. The density, intensity and other development regulations also will be those contained in . the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Although these permitted land uses have already been subjected to CEQA review when the General Plan was adopted, this EIR will investigate the impacts of buildout under the current General Plan since the amended Redevelopment' Project may hasten and possibly intensify .the development .that might otherwise occur. The purpose of this amended Redevelopment Project is to assist in the elimination of those conditions within the Project Area that are • conducive to blight. The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency will undertake a variety of activities designed to eliminate the existing blighting conditions. These activities and their impacts, along with the impacts of buildout, will be the main focus of the environmental review process. The activities of the Agency projected at this time are listed below. These activities will be discussed in further detail in the draft EIR. 1. The construction and reconstruction of streets, which may include resurfacing, restriping, realignment, widening, and improved signalization. 2 . The construction, reconstruction, and improvement of other public works, including parking, curbs, gutters, sidewalks;- sewers, ' storm drains, and water mains. 3 . Assistance in land purchase and assembly for development projects. 4 . Rehabilitate deteriorated residential and commerc =1 structures . 5. Encourage existing owners, businesses and tenants ii tiain the Project Area to participate in the redevelopment ac=ivities. 6. Landscaping, installation of pedestrian and transit amenities, historic renovation, visual enhancement of commercial structures, -and other beautification activities. Most of the environmental impacts of these activities are projected to be beneficial rather than adverse. However, some short-term adverse impacts are projected due to the public and private construction activities, such as 'dust, noise, and traffic disruptions. In addition, some long-term impacts may occur from the hastened and intensified buildout, such as increased traffic, but these will ultimately be mitigated to an insignificant level by the activities listed above, resulting in a net improvement relative to the existing conditions.

ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT APPLICANT: City of Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency PROPERTY OWNER: Various REQUEST: To amend the Oakview Redevelopment Plan to increase the existing limitation on the total amount of tax increment that may be allocated to the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency, and to update various elements in the plan to meet the current standards of the California Community Redevelopment Law. LOCATION: Oakview Redevelopment Project Area, southwest of Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue (see attached map) . • ACREAGE: Approximately 68 acres 1.0 SUGGESTED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 1411, finding that the proposed Amended Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project conforms with the Huntington Beach General Plan, and recommending approval of the Amended Plan and Environmental Impact Report to the Redevelopment Agency. 2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION: The proposed project is to amend the Oakview Redevelopment Plan to increase the existing limitation on the total amount of tax increment which may be allocated to the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency, and to update. various elements in the plan to meet the current standards of the California Community Redevelopment Law. The proposed amendment will not change the original project area boundaries, General Plan designations, zoning, or restrictions on eminent domain. The 1982-1983 assessment rolls will be retained as the base year assessment roll for the purpose of allocating - taxes. The amended plan will provide adequate financing needed for the Agency to upgrade public facilities and improve the quality of life for Project Area residents, employees and business owners. 1 A-FM-23C 3 .0 ANALYSIS• • Urban Futures, Inc. , has prepared the Draft Redevelopment Plan and Environmental Impact Report for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project. The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency has initiated the amendment because the existing cap on the amount of tax increment which may be allocated to the Agency is $350,000 .per fiscal year. This limitation does not provide sufficient funding for the successful implementation of the Oakview Redevelopment Project. The proposed new limitation is $90,000,000 over the life of the Project Area (comparable to $2,250,000 per year, although there is no yearly cap) . The intent of the amended Plan is to revitalize and upgrade the Project Area in accordance with the City' s General Plan and all other applicable City, County, State "and Federal laws, as well as to utilize existing underutilized parcels, increase `sales and business tax revenues, provide low- and moderate-income housing opportunities, improve roadways, provide a high level of City services, create jobs for area residents, assure social and economic stability, and promote aesthetic and environmental improvements. The tax increment revenue allocated to the Agency will be used to eliminate and prevent the spread of deficient conditions within the Project Area through 1) the provision of housing programs, 2) the installation, construction, reconstruction, redesign or. reuse of streets, utilities, curbs, gutters, sidewalks and other associated public improvements as permitted by the Huntington Beach General • Plan and Zoning Ordinance, 3) the assemblage of land into parcels suitable for modern integrated development with improved pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and 4) the development and redevelopment of the Project Area in a manner consistent with the goals and policies of the Huntington Beach General Plan. The Environmental Impact Report .(EIR) for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Plan is a program EIR, which does not present specific details about- the location, timing, or physical characteristics of specific development that may be induced over the life of the project. Rather, it is used to address the project' s growth accommodating effects, since the buildout envisioned by the existing General Plan and zoning may be hastened by the project. When necessary, subsequent environmental documentation will be based upon this EIR. The EIR identifies no impact that will be significantly adverse . after mitigation. The mitigation measures identified involve compliance with the existing General Plan, zoning ordinance, and other City, County, State and Federal regulations. Most of the environmental impacts associated with the Redevelopment Plan and the projects to be undertaken by the Agency are projected to be beneficial rather than adverse. Some short-term adverse impacts such as dust, noise and traffic disruptions are projected due to public and private construction activities, however these can be mitigated to a level of insignificance at the project level. Staff Report - 3/7/89 -2- (2122d) Additionally, some long-term impacts may occur as a result of • hastened buildout, such as traffic, but these will ultimately be mitigated to an insignificant level by the various public improvements undertaken by the Agency, bringing long-term benefits to the City. The Environmental Impact Report, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act, identified four alternatives, including 1) no project, 2) alternative project area size, 3) limited redevelopment activities, and 4) alternative methods of financing. These alternatives would allow existing conditions of deficiency to continue without a feasible means of abatement, which would adversely affect proper utilization of the project area. The objectives of the Redevelopment Project Area would not be met, and it is unlikely that needed improvements and facilities .would be provided. 4 .0 RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 1411, finding that the proposed Amended Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project conforms with the Huntington Beach General Plan, and recommending approval of the Amended Plan and Environmental Impact Report to the Redevelopment Agency. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL: 1. The Amended Redevelopment Plan is consistent with the Huntington Beach General Plan because the land uses, densities, and intensities set forth by the Redevelopment Plan are those designated by the General Plan Land Use Element. 2. The Amended Redevelopment Plan is consistent with the Huntington Beach General Plan because it will help to eliminate the spread of blight, and create a better designed community. 3. The Amended Redevelopment Plan is in conformance with the Circulation Element of the General Plan because the proposed circulatin system is that set forth by the General Plan, and the proposed improvements will promote a safer and more efficient traffic pattern. 4 . The Amended Redevelopment Plan is consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan because it will assist in implementing the General Plan goal of providing decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for Project Area residents.

ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT TO THE HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN I. INTRODUCTION This Report on Conformity of the Proposed Amended Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project to the Huntington Beach General Plan has been prepared in accordance with Section 33346 of the California Community Redevelopment Law. The primary purpose of Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project is to increase the existing limitation on the total amount of tax revenue which may be allocated to the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency pursuant to the provisions of Health and Safety Code Section 33670. The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency has initiated this Amendment because the existing limitation, which stipulates that the Redevelopment Agency may not collect more than $350,000 in tax increments during any one fiscal year, does not provide sufficient funding for the successful implementation of the Oakview Redevelopment Project. This Amendment also involves an upgrading of various elements in the original Redevelopment Plan, as adopted by Ordinance 2582 of the Huntington Beach City Council in November 1982, to meet the current standards of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq. ) . This Amendment will not change the original Project Area boundaries or the original restrictions on eminent domain. This Amendment will • 1 also retain the 1982-1983 assessment roll as the base year assessment roll for the purpose of allocating taxes pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33670. II. PROJECT AREA Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project consists of approximately 68 acres generally bounded on the north by Warner Avenue, on the east by Beach Boulevard, on the south by Slater Avenue, and on the west by Oak Lane. A map showing the location and boundaries of the Project Area is located at the end of this Report as Figure 1. The amended Redevelopment Plan, using the General Plan as its guide, will provide for the long-range, comprehensive physical development of the Project Area. Such physical development will include public works improvements and coordination between private developers and the City to promote the general welfare • and prosperity of the community. As a comprehensive plan, the amended Redevelopment Plan will be implemented in accordance with the General Plan, as it relates physical design proposals to community goals and social, environmental and economic policies. It is based upon the existing potentials for improvements and development in the Project Area. At the same time, the General Plan's flexibility is the key which allows the amended Redevelopment Plan to guide the direction and quality of future development. The General Plan is a policy oriented document which provides a statement of goals, principles; and standards with respect to the most desirable use of land within the City for commercial, residential, industrial and other uses; the most desirable density of population; a system of circulation; and public facilities. It also focuses on specific community centers, 2 corridors, and sub-areas for orderly development and methods of implementation. The Land Use Element to the General Plan presents a pattern of land uses determined to be best suited for the community's welfare and prosperity. The amended Redevelopment Plan will adhere to the Land Use designations of the General Plan and the policies and community goals of the General Plan. The land uses, layout of principal streets, population densities and standards proposed as the basis for redevelopment of the Project Area are as follows: A. Land Uses The Land Use Element of the Huntington Beach General Plan presents the City's objectives and policies for the location and character of land uses necessary for orderly growth and. development. As a basis for the revitalization of the Project Area in conformance with the Land Use Element to the Huntington Beach General Plan, it is proposed that, in general, the following categories of land uses be permitted in the locations and the extent set forth in the Land Use Element of the Huntington Beach General Plan: 1. Medium Density Residential 2. Medium High Density Residential 3. General Commercial B. Principal Streets As a basis for the redevelopment of the Project Area, it is proposed that, in general, the 16yout of principal streets and those that will be developed in the Project Area will conform to the Circulation Element of the Huntington Beach General Plan. 3 • C. Population Densities The population densities within the Project Area will vary depending upon the densities of residential neighborhoods. However, the residential dwelling unit densities will be in conformance with the City's General Plan and therefore population densities will be as permitted according to the Land Use Element of the Huntington Beach General. Plan. D. Building Intensities The standards on building intensity shall be established in accordance with those contained in the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan of the City. As a basis for the redevelopment of the Project, it is proposed that, in general, the building intensity be controlled by limitations on: (1) the percentage of ground area covered by buildings (land coverage) ; (2) the ratio of total floor area for all stories of the buildings to the area of the building site (floor area ratio) ; (3) the size and location of the building area on building sites; and (4) the height of buildings. The building intensities shall also be adjusted, as feasible, to provide for adequate open space and parking areas. The limits on building intensity shall be established in accordance with the limits contained in the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach. E. Building Standards It is proposed that, in general, the building standards shall conform to the building requirements of applicable State statutes and local building codes and ordinances. 4 F. Public Facilities and Improvements • The amended Redevelopment Plan identifies a number of public improvements which the Redevelopment Agency is considering as future redevelopment projects. The following is a summary of the type of activities which are proposed by the Redevelopment Agency. 1. Installation, construction, reconstruction, redesign, or reuse of streets, utilities, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, handicap ramps, and other public improvements as permitted in accordance with the Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. 2. Construction and/or reconstruction of various flood control and storm drainage facilities. 3. Provision and/or upgrading of traffic signals, channelization, lighting and signing of various intersections, and correction of other existing circulation deficiencies within the Project Area. 4. Completion of various water system projects including the replacement, construction, and improvement of water lines, water storage and treatment facilities, and water meters in order to provide adequate fire flows and domestic water supplies. 5. Undergrounding of utilities in the Project Area. 6. Improvement and development of recreational facilities for local residents. 7. Construction and improvement of public protection facilities, including police and fire facilities. • 5 8. Construction and improvement of vehicle parking facilities. 9. Improvement, as needed, or various utility distribution systems including electrical, gas and telephone. 10. Improvements to streetscapes and urban design. 11. Provisions for senior citizen, handicapped and low- to moderate-income housing. 12. Purchase of land, construction, reconstruction or rehabilitation of structures for the purpose of providing necessary community uses such as parking, recreational facilities, and other facilities. The above mentioned summary of major public improvements is not exclusive of other public improvement projects which may be proposed by the Redevelopment Agency. In addition, some improvement projects may be undertaken outside of the Project Area boundaries that are of benefit to the Project Area and its residents. However, any future public improvement proposed by the Redevelopment Agency will be in conformity with the City's General Plan. III. CONFORMITY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN The proposed amended Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project conforms to the Huntington Beach General Plan. The amended Redevelopment Plan proposes a pattern of land uses and includes all highways and public facilities as indicated in the General Plan. The proposed land uses for the amended Redevelopment Plan are the same land uses as outlined in the Huntington Beach General Plan. The amended Redevelopment Plan will assist in implementing the .General • 6 e Plan's goals and policies. An essential part of the amended Redevelopment Plan is that any future redevelopment activity must be consistent with the City's adopted General Plan. 1. The land uses identified in the Land Use Element of the Huntington Beach General Plan for properties within the Project Area boundaries are the same land uses proposed for the amended Redevelopment Plan. 2. The General Plan establishes principles which will encourage a better community design. The amended Redevelopment Plan proposes to make improvements to the Project Area in order to eliminate the spread of blighting influences and ultimately create a better designed community. 3. The General Plan proposes an adequate traffic . circulation system in and around the Project Area to provide for the efficient and safe movement of people and goods. The amended Redevelopment Plan will assist in implementing the General Plan by improving the circulation system within the Project Area, thereby enhancing traffic flows and protecting the public safety. 4. The General Plan establishes policies to provide for the housing needs of all segments of the community. The amended Redevelopment Plan proposes to assist in implementing the General Plan goal of providing decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for all Project Area residents. L 5. The General Plan provides for the funding of required community services and facilities to serve the Project Area. The amended Redevelopment Plan proposes to make 7 improvements to these services and facilities for the purpose of enhancing the community. IV. CONCLUSION The redevelopment of the Project Area as a single project provides for the coordination of scattered opportunities which, if approached in a piecemeal fashion, would most likely be financially infeasible and leave the opportunities of the overall Project Area underachieved. The Project Area is in need of, and is suitable for redevelopment pursuant to the California Redevelopment Law. The Project Area is blighted and contains a combination of the following factors: a lack of proper utilization of land, resulting in a stagnant and unproductive condition of land which is potentially useful and valuable for contributing to the public welfare; the existence of inadequate roadways and public service utilities; the lack of adequate flood control and drainage facilities; and deteriorated buildings located throughout the Project Area. These conditions exist to such an extent that they constitute a serious physical, social and economic burden on the community. The revitalization of the Project Area cannot be accomplished by private enterprise acting alone due to the extensive cost and existing methods of financing. Without public participation and assistance, the redevelopment of the Project Area would not be possible. Redevelopment in conformance with the General Plan will provide for the planning, development, replanning, redesign, clearance, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of the Project Area and will provide for the proper utilization of land that is potentially useful and valuable for contributing to the public welfare. In addition, the amended Redevelopment Plan will provide the vehicle to assist in the implementation of policies, goals, principles and objectives of the General Plan. 8 i NEI NMI_ WARNER AVE r FIR' D F IL z = T R A 8ELSIT 7 'Xz W r:;eCYPRE .:. s :,-:i:<•: 4vE CYPRESS 0 "= M- is ss 2a ti r _ a 0 MANOR ELL OR KRISTIN CR.

T OFFICE OF THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR May 8, 1989 RE: Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project Dear Property Owner: The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency has initiated proceedings for the adoption of an amended Redevelopment Project. In order to give all property owners in the Project Area an opportunity to participate in this Project, and -to fully understand the redevelopment process in general, the Redevelopment Agency has scheduled the following public workshop for all interested citizens: • Date: May 24, 1989 Time: 7:00 P.M. Place: Huntington Beach City Council Chambers 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, California The purpose of Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project is to increase the limitation on the amount of tax increments which may be allocated to the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency. This amendment is necessary for achieving the purposes of this Project since the existing limitation, which stipulates that the Redevelopment Agency may not collect more than $350,000 in tax increment revenues during any one fiscal year, does not provide sufficient funding for the successful implementation of the public improvement projects proposed for this Project.

Acquisition of property will generally be achieved by cooperative negotiations between the owner of such property and the Agency. The power of purchase and condemnation is general and the Amended Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project has no specific list or description of property to be aacquired by purchase or condemnation because no such specific property is known at this time and should such acquisition become necessary in the future to carry our any proposed improvements, the.Huntington Beach Redevelopment . Agency will meet all legal requirements,.including notification as to intent at that time.

ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT I. Introduction The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency is proposing the establishment of Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project. The original Redevelopment Plan for the Oakview Redevelopment Project was approved and adopted by the Huntington Beach City Council in November 1982 . This proposed amendment to the Redevelopment Plan involves only a change in the limitation on the tax increments which may be allocated (to the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency pursuant to Health and Safety Code • Section 33670, as well as an updating of all related documents to the current standards of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Sections 33000 et seq. ) . The amended Redevelopment Plan will not change the original Project Area boundaries or the original restrictions on eminent domain. This amendment is necessary for achieving the purposes of the California Community Redevelopment Law since the existing tax increment limitation, which stipulates that the Redevelopment Agency may not collect more than $350, 000 in tax increments during any one fiscal year, does not provide sufficient funds for the successful implementation of this Project. II. Project Area Population The current residential population of the Project Area is • estimated to be 1, 620 persons. This figure was calculated by 1 multiplying the total number of residential units for all single and multi-family structures (592 dwelling units) by the average household size of 2 .736 for the City of Huntington Beach, as reported by the California Department of Finance (although the average Project Area household size is likely to be greater than the Citywide average, a more specific average for the Project Area is not presently available) . Since the population of the entire City is 187, 740, the Project Area contains approximately 0. 86% of the Huntington Beach population. III. Land Uses The overall location and boundaries of the approximately 68 acre Project Area is presented in Figure 1. The breakdown of land uses within the Project Area by approximate acreage is shown in Table 1. Figure 2 illustrates the existing land uses throughout the Project Area. TABLE 1 LAND USES IN THE PROJECT AREA Land Use Acres of Project Area Single Family Residential 8.04 11.82% Multi-Family Residential 26.12 38.41% Commercial 10.47 15.40% Vacant 1.15 1. 69% Streets, Alleys, and R-O-W 22.22 32 . 68% TOTAL 68. 00 100. 00% Source: Urban Futures, Inc. The makeup of existing land uses within the Project Area clearly differentiates the northern and southern portions of the Project Area. The northern portion is characterized by a mixture of older single family houses, sometimes more than one on the same lot, and newly contructed multi-family structures. Many of these older single family houses are in need of substantial rehabilitation and do not 2 WARNER AVE. FIR D BELSITO DR.

The northeast corner of the Project Area contains the Charter Centre, a 400, 000 square foot commercial retail and office complex. The southern portion of the Project Area, which includes all properties located south of the alley between Cypress Avenue and Mandrell Drive, primarily consists of multi-family 4-plex structures, most of which are in need of some rehabilitation. IV. Structural Deficiencies and Deterioration One of the causal factors evidencing the presence of structural blight within the Project Area is the existence of defective buildings. A windshield survey was conducted in December 1988 by Urban Futures staff to determine the condition of structures in the Project Area. Each structure received one of four possible ratings. A structure was rated sound if it appeared well maintained and no physically blighting characteristics were evident. Structures displaying some degree of physical decline were rated either deficient, deteriorated or dilapidated, depending upon the severity of degeneration. The following is a general guideline for these ratings, which is based upon nationally accepted rating standards. Sound - The structure is no more than 25 years old and has no noticeable deficiencies in the structural condition of roof, walls, or foundation. It appears to have adequate plumbing and electrical service and is subject to a regular program of maintenance. Exterior walls and other surfaces are well painted and clean, and -all windows and doors are intact. Deficient - The structure could be older than 25 years, but has been maintained adequately to eliminate any major structural defects. Signs of deferred maintenance, such as peeling paint, broken windows, or cracked plaster are clearly evident. The roof may show signs of minor water leaks. 5 Deteriorated - The structure shows signs of advanced deterioration, such as sagging roof or crumbling foundation. It may appear to have leaky plumbing or hazardous electrical service, illustrated by 18 exposed wiring, and holes may be apparent in roof or walls. Paint may be largely faded or even nonexistent, and broken windows are often apparent. Dilapidated - The building is structurally unsound and maintenance is nonexistent. Its fitness for human occupation is highly questionable .and the state of deterioration and neglect is such that it is a candidate for demolition. - TABLE 2 STRUCTURAL CONDITIONS IN THE PROJECT AREA Rating Number of Structures Sound 23 Deficient 122 Deteriorated 51 Dilapidated 0 TOTAL 196 0 Source: Urban Futures, Inc. Out of the total 196 structures rated, 173 or 88.27% are at least deficient and in need of some rehabilitation. It can be generally stated that maintenance is irregular and such conditions as peeling paint, loose roof shingles, weathered facades, and cracked foundations are common. A total of 26.02% of all structures are deteriorated such that these structures require substantial upgrading. The existing structures present the Project Area with an image problem which negatively impacts potential development opportunities. When clustered together, such structures create definite pockets of substandard quality and blight. The breakdown of this structural rating by existing land uses in presented in Table 3 . 6 TABLE 3 STRUCTURAL CONDITIONS IN THE PROJECT AREA BY EXISTING LAND USE Single Family Multi-Family Commercial TOTAL Sound 3 11 9 23 Deficient 27 94 1 122 Deteriorated 23 28 0 51 Dilapidated 0 0 0 0 TOTAL 53 133 10 196 Source: Urban Futures, Inc. V. Defective Design and Character of Physical Construction Many residential structures within the Project Area clearly display poor construction quality in terms of both physical size and structural composition. This condition is particularly evident in many of the single family homes in the northern portion of the Project Area, particularly on Sycamore Avenue, Cypress Avenue, and • Ash Street. Many single family structures are of such diminutive proportions that overcrowded living conditions are likely to occur. The southern portion of the Project Area also displays physical defects in many of the multi-family residential structures. Many of these structural deficiencies, such as cracked foundations and neglected exterior surfaces, relate to deferred maintenance of such a prolonged period that some degree of rehabilitation is now necessary. All streets in the southern portion of the Project Area display these conditions, with the most notable examples on Mandrell Drive, Koledo Lane, Queens Lane, and Barton Drive. VI. Faulty Interior Arrangement and Exterior Spacing In terms of exterior spacing, many single family residential structures in the northern portion of the Project Area are characterized by inadequate front yard setbacks. Many residential istructures on Warner Avenue, Sycamore Avenue, Ash Street, and Cypress 7 Avenue have front yard setbacks of only 10-15 feet. The southern portion of ,the Project Area is characterized by multi-family 4-plex structures with rear garages containing two second floor dwelling units. These garage/duplexes are located directly adjacent to the rear alleys, without any provision for setbacks or other buffers that would reduce the noise impacts of vehicular activities. The 4-plexes on Jacquelyn Lane, Koledo Lane, Queens Lane, Barton Drive, and Mandrell Drive are characterized by a lack of adequate setbacks or landscape buffers between buildings, thereby creating a congested environment for local residents. VII. Age and Obsolescence Residential structures throughout the Project Area are characterized by declining structural conditions due to the cumulative effects of age and deferred maintenance. Many Project Area structures which are over 25 years old have not been subject to an adequate program of maintenance. These findings are essential to the community since residential structures over 25 years in age are most likely to display signs of deterioration resulting from deferred maintenance. The 4-plexes which characterize the southern portion of the Project Area are generally 25-30 years old and clearly display signs of age and neglect, such as weathered facades and cracked foundations. Many of the single family structures in the northern portion of the Project Area, particularly on Sycamore Avenue, Cypress Avenue, Ash Street, and the northern portion of Oak Lane, are well over 25 years in age and display varying signs of advanced deterioration. In terms of obsolescence, the diminutive size and inadequate setbacks characteristic of many single family structures in the northern portion of the Project Area severely impair the ability of such structures to provide safe, sanitary, and decent housing for Project Area residents. These features negatively impact the functional usefulness of such residences, thereby accelerating their structural obsolescence. Although there is a need to provide housing • 8 rehabilitation and new affordable housing for many Project Area • residents, the Redevelopment Agency does not presently have adequate funds to support such efforts. VIII. Traffic Circulation Deficiencies Local streets in the northern portion service not only local resident traffic flows, but also Charter Centre patrons utilizing the parking garage located at the northeast corner of Sycamore Avenue and Ash Street. Furthermore, due to the current traffic congestion at the intersection of Warner Avenue and Beach Boulevard, many motorists traveling east-bound on Warner Avenue who wish to turn south-bound on Beach Boulevard by-pass this intersection by taking Ash Street south-bound and Cypress Avenue east-bound to the Cypress/Beach intersection. This spill-over of through-traffic and the constant flow of Charter Centre patrons results in significantly heavier traffic volumes than normally experienced on local residential streets. - In addition to the heavytraffic volumes created b external Y pressures, many streets in the Project Area, particularly in the northern portion, are in substandard condition and require substantial improvements. Street widths range from the required 60 foot right-of-way for local streets down to only 20 feet of street pavement. These narrow streets are also characterized by deteriorating surfaces, incomplete lighting, and a lack of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. Project Area streets in this condition include Sycamore Avenue, Ash Street, Cypress Avenue, and Elm Street. The substandard widths and surfaces of these streets, along with the spill-over impacts of through-traffic and Charter Centre patrons, impedes the successful flow of traffic and creates higher levels of noise, air pollution, and traffic delays. 9 IX. Deficient Street, Curb, Gutter, Sidewalk, and Lighting Facilities • Cracked street pavements and potholes characterize many street surfaces in the Project Area, particularly in the northern streets such as Sycamore Avenue, Ash Street, Cypress Avenue, and Elm Street. The northern portion of the Project Area is generally characterized by narrow, disintegrating streets that lack curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. Specifically, Sycamore Avenue is characterized by a lack of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, with the exception of the northern portion of the street adjacent to the Charter Centre parking garage. This street is very narrow and the surfacing is in a state of almost complete disintegration, particularly west of the Ash Street intersection. Street lighting on Sycamore Avenue is incomplete and inadequate. Ash Street north of Cypress Avenue is also very narrow and in a state of structural deterioration. This portion of Ash Street is lacking in curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, and also lacks adequate street lighting. Cypress Avenue is a narrow and deteriorating street with curbs, gutters, and sidewalks provided on only a few properties. Oak Lane lacks curbs, gutters, and sidewalks along the east side of the street north of Cypress Avenue. Elm Street is also lacking curbs, gutters, and sidewalks north of Cypress Avenue, with the exception of the eastern portion which abuts the Holiday Spa structure, and has an incomplete provision of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks south of Cypress Avenue. Street surface cracking is also evident along Elm Street. Barton Drive is characterized by incomplete street lighting facilities. Jacquelyn Lane is characterized by cracked street pavements and curbs. Substantial improvements are also needed for the Project Area alleys. Cracked pavements, potholes, standing water, and overgrown vegetation are commonplace in many alleyways. The poor condition of these alleys not only impedes vehicular circulation, but also imposes potential traffic and pedestrian conflicts through the lack of prope� lighting and haphazard parking. 10 The Project Area in general is in urgent need of substantial street • surface rehabilitation, along with the construction of adequate curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and street lights. Although the provision of these street infrastructural facilities is essential for the safety, health, and welfare of Project Area residents, the Redevelopment Agency does not presently have adequate funding to provide these facilities. X. Drainage System Deficiencies The lack of curbs and gutters in many portions of the Project Area prevents storm water from being effectively channeled off the street surfaces, leading to health and safety hazards for local residents. Despite the presence of underground storm drainage lines along Beach Boulevard, Warner Avenue, Ash Street, and Sycamore and Cypress Avenues between Ash and Elm Streets, the lack of a comprehensive above-ground drainage system results in long-standing puddles of water throughout the northern portion of the Project Area. This • condition contributes, to unhealthful living conditions by providing a habitat for disease carrying insects. XI. Water Distribution Deficiencies The Project Area is characterized by a number of water lines which are only 6 inches in diameter. While 6 inch water lines are considered the minimally acceptable size for single family residential neighborhoods, modern construction standards call for a minimum diameter of 8 inches for new water distribution lines since 6 inch lines are not always capable of providing needed fire flows during peak demand periods. Queens Lane, Barton Drive, Jacquelyn Lane, Elm Street, and portions of Oak Lane, Cypress Avenue, and Sycamore Avenue are all characterized by 6 inch water lines. Furthermore, some Project Area residents must rely on private wells for their drinking water, which are often characterized by inconsistent supplies and variable water quality. • 11 XII . Prevalence of Social Maladiustment According to the statistical division of the Huntington Beach Police • Department, crime rates in the Project Area are among the highest in the City. Although the Project Area represents less than one percent of the total Citywide population, an average of about five percent of all Citywide major index crimes occur within its reporting district (the 272 reporting district, which is bounded on the north by Warner Avenue, on the east by Beach Boulevard, on the south by Slater Avenue, and on the west by Gothard Street) . There were a total of 2, 396 police calls in this reporting district for 1986 and 2, 577 police calls during 1987, representing a very high 7. 6% annual increase. Even more significant is the fact that the average annual number of police calls for a reporting district in the City is about 600 calls. Therefore, the Project Area reporting district had over four times as many police calls in 1987 as the average reporting district. Crime is often related to high unemployment and underemployment • levels. According to a recent status report prepared by the City, the percentage of families in the Project Area falling below the poverty level is nearly double the percentage for the rest of City. Female heads of household in the Project Area are also nearly double the Citywide average, and the unemployment rate is significantly higher for the Project Area in comparison with the overall City rate. XIII. Prevalence of Depreciated Values and Impaired Investments One key indicator of impaired investments is a prevalence of deferred maintenance on the part of local property owners, which is evident throughout the Project Area. Another indicator is the lack of public infrastructural improvements such as street surfacing, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and street lighting. This lack of public improvements tends to depress property values and discourages local property owners and potential investors from fully utilizing such properties. 12 Although most of this underutilized land in the Project Area has the potential for improvement through structural rehabilitation or new construction, it is unlikely that this will occur without assistance from the Redevelopment Agency. The lack of improvements on these parcels is indicative of the inability of the private market to bring about their utilization. The combination of the cost for needed pre-development improvements, assembly or division of parcels, marginal economic activity and/or inability of the parcel owner to invest make these parcels undevelopable without public assistance. The existence of underutilized and unproductive parcels in the Project Area is indicative of the prevalence of impaired investments, which is a factor contributing to economic blight. The end result is a serious social and economic burden on the community caused by deferred structural maintenance, overall property neglect, unsightly vacant lots, inhibited growth in property values and tax revenues, and unrealized housing opportunities. XIV. Methods of Financing the Project Once the amended Redevelopment Plan is adopted by the City Council, the Redevelopment Agency is authorized to finance the Project with tax increments, interest income, Agency bonds, loans from private institutions, proceeds from the sale or lease of property, financial assistance from the City, County, State of California, Federal Government, or any other public agency, or any other legally available source. The City may, in accordance with the law, make advances and expend money as necessary to assist the Agency in carrying out the Project. Any such assistance shall be on terms established by an agreement between the City and the Agency. As available, gas tax funds from the State of California and the County may be used for the street system. As available, federal loans and grants will be used to finance portions of Project costs. 13 The Agency is authorized to issue tax exempt bonds if appropriate and feasible in an amount sufficient to finance all or any part of the Project. Tax exempt bonds could be issued to finance mortgages, to 0 establish a revolving loan fund, or to establish any other kind of housing assistance program. Loans could be of the deferred interest type to keep monthly costs down. Mortgage Revenue Bond proceeds could also be used for construction in rehabilitation areas. In addition, tax increment secured bonds or notes could be used for housing rehabilitation in redevelopment areas. Assessment district bonds can be used for the financing of infrastructure improvements. The Agency is authorized to obtain advances, borrow funds and create indebtedness in carrying out the amended Redevelopment Plan. The principal and interest on such advances, funds, and indebtedness may be paid from tax increments or any other funds available to the Agency. All taxes levied upon taxable property within the Project Area each year by or for the benefit of the State of California, any district, or other public corporation after the effective date of the Ordinance approving the amended Redevelopment Plan shall be allocated in accordance with Section 33670 of the California Community Redevelopment Law. The number of dollars of taxes which may be divided and allocated to the Agency pursuant to Section 33670 of the California Community Redevelopment Law shall not exceed $90,000, 000. No loan, advance or indebtedness to be repaid from such allocation of taxes established or incurred by the Agency to finance in whole or in part the Project shall be established or incurred after twenty (20) years following the date of adoption of the Ordinance approving and adopting the amended Redevelopment Plan. Such loan, advance or indebtedness may be repaid over a period of time longer than such time limit to establish or incur such loan, advance or indebtedness. 14 The amount of bonded indebtedness, to be repaid in whole or in part from such allocation of taxes, which can be outstanding at any one time shall not exceed $30, 000, 000. The provisions of the amended Redevelopment Plan shall be effective and the provisions of other documents formulated pursuant to the amended Redevelopment Plan may be made effective for forty (40) years from the date of adoption of the amended Redevelopment Plan by the City Council. The Agency may issue bonds and incur obligations pursuant to the amended Redevelopment Plan which may extend past this termination date, and in such event, the amended Redevelopment Plan shall continue in effect for the purpose of repaying such bonds or other obligations until the date of retirement of such bonds or other obligations. 15 • APPENDIX A PROPOSED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS/PROJECTS • • REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH OAKVIEW PROJECT AREA AMENDMENT NO.

We' require certain data in order to assess the fiscal impact . the project may have on the County family.-of funds. Specifically, we need to have the following statistics for the project area: Current Proiected (Phased if possible) 1. Population 1. Population 2. Housing 2. Housing 3. .Employment 3. Employment By providing us with these data as quickly as they become available, we can decide whether or not to call for a Fiscal Review Committee. The fis- cal analysis we make based on these data will provide a framework for ne- gotiations between us regarding tax-increment pass-through. I look forward to meeting with you on this project. If you have any ques- tions, please feel free to call me at 834-3727. Sincerely, 4f Rchard Keefe Manager, Intergovernmental Relations RK:kmr (hbra) Urban Futures Inc. December 23, 1988 Richard Keefe Manager, Intergovernmental Relations County of Orange County Administrative Office 10 Civic Center Plaza Santa Ana, CA 92701 RE: Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project Dear Mr. Keefe Urban Futures, Inc. (UFI) is the redevelopment advisor to the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency for the proposed amendment to the Oakview Redevelopment Project. Pursuant: to this task, we will typically respond to all inquiries, to the best of our ability, related to this amendment process. In response to your letter dated December 13, 1988, addressed to Mr. Paul Cook, the current residential population of the Project Area is estimated to be 1,620 persons. This figure was calculated by multiplying the total number of residential units for all single family and multi-family structures in the Project Area (592 dwelling units, based upon Agency consultant's field survey) by the average household size of 2.736 for the City of Huntington Beach, as reported by the California Department of Finance. This information will be included in Section B. 1. Project Area Population of the Preliminary Report. Information on current employment for the Project Area is not presently available. Due to the long life of the Redevelopment Plan (35 years) and the fact that it is not possible to accurately forecast the exact design, scope, scheduling, and location of all possible public improvements/projects, any projections by the Agency on future population, housing, or employment would be purely speculative. It is important to note that any Agency induced growth within the Project Area would be in accordance with the Huntington Beach General Plan. Worst case scenarios on ultimate build-out have been previously addressed, in accordance with the CEQA process, within the EIR for the Huntington Beach General 801 E.Chapman Ave.,Suite 106,Fullerton,CA 92631 714/738-4277 Telecopy:738-3767 Redevelopment/Finance/City Planning/Implementation Plan. At this point, rather than pursue conjecture, the requested research would be more appropriate and beneficial to is all concerned parties if it were done at the time of specific project implementation if and when such specific project is identified as a catalyst for future growth. Further information concerning this proposed amendment will be provided in the Preliminary Report. The California Community Redevelopment Law allows any affected taxing entity to call for the creation of a fiscal review committee within 15 days after receipt of the Preliminary Report. The County may wish to rely on the information included in the Preliminary Report in its determination on whether to form a fiscal review committee. The County, either alone or through the fiscal review process, may wish to generate additional information to supplement that which has been prepared for the adoption process. We will be pleased to assist the County and all other affected taxing agencies to the best of our ability. Please do not hesitate to notify us if we can be of any further assistance.

Box 190 Huntington Beach, California 92648 SUBJECT: Preliminary Report for Amendment No. One to the Huntington Beach Oakview Redevelopment Project Dear Mr. Cook: On February 14, 1989, the County of Orange received a copy of the Prelimi- nary Report for the subject project, pursuant to Section 33344.5 of the California Health and Safety Code. As indicated in the document, it is , theAgency's intent to use tax increment financing. -In the case of a re- development plan utilizing tax increment financing, an affected taxing entity may call for the creation of a Fiscal Review Committee within 15 days after receipt of the Preliminary Report from the Agency. The purpose of the Fiscal Review Committee is to report to the redevelop- ment agency on the fiscal impact of the redevelopment plan on each of the members of the committee. Additionally, the Fiscal Review Committee may suggest amendments to the plan, the adoption of which would alleviate or eliminate any fiscal effects which may be detrimental to the affected tax- ing entities. The 15-day time period provided in Section 33353 is not sufficient for the County to conduct an analysis of the fiscal impact of the redevelopment plan on County entities. In order to avoid the necessity of calling for a Fiscal Review Committee at this time; we are requesting a 30-day extension. Such an extension shall not extend the date by which a fiscal review committee must hold a public hearing pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33353.4; hence, it will not delay your timetable. i Preliminary Report for Amendment No. One to the Huntington Beach Oakview Redevelopment Project February 15, 1989 Page 2 • Your prompt written response would be appreciated by Friday, February 24, 1989.

The fiscal review committee will be composed of one representative from each of the affected taxing entities. Since your agency levied a property tax on all or a portion of the property located in the proposed project area, your agency is considered an affected taxing entity entitled to • representation in the fiscal review process. Pursuant to Section 33353.4 of the California Health and Safety Code the County Administrative Office is required to convene the first meeting of the fiscal review committee. The purpose of this first meeting will be to elect a permanent chairperson and discuss what information your taxing agency may need from the Redevelopment Agency to assess the project's fiscal impact. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 5 in the Planning Commission Hearing Room, 10 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, at 9:00 a.m. Please designate a representative of your agency and notify me of your designation.

This amendment is necessary for achieving the purposes of this Project since the existing limitation, which stipulates that the Redevelopment Agency may not collect more than $350,000 in tax increment revenues during any one fiscal year, does not provide sufficient funding for the successful implementation of the public improvement projects proposed for this Project.

ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT I. INTRODUCTION The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency is proposing the adoption of Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project. Ordinance 2582, approving and adopting the Redevelopment Plan for the Oakview Redevelopment. Project, was adopted by the Huntington Beach City Council in November 1982. The proposed amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Oakview Redevelopment Project only involves a change in the limitation on the tax increments which may • be allocated to the -Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33670, as well as an updating of the documents related to the redevelopment plan adoption process to the current standards of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Sections 33000 et. seq. ) . The amended Redevelopment Plan will not change the original Project Area boundaries or the original restrictions on eminent domain. This amendment is necessary for achieving the purposes of the California Community Redevelopment Law since the existing tax increment limitation, which stipulates that the Redevelopment Agency may not collect more than $350,000 in tax increments during any one fiscal year, does not provide sufficient funds for the successful implementation of this Project. • 1 . This Report to the City Council on the Amended Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project has been prepared pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33352. The purpose of this Report is to .advise the City Council of the reasons for the selection of the Project Area; to describe the physical, social, and economic conditions existing in the Project Area; to describe how the proposed public improvements/projects will improve or alleviate blighted conditions existing within the Project Area; to indicate the methods of financing for the' Redevelopment Project; to set forth the plan and method of relocation of any property owners or businesses displaced by the Project; to analyze the Preliminary Plan; to include the Report and Recommendation of the Huntington Beach Planning Commission; to include the Program Environmental Impact Report for this Project; to include the Report of the County Fiscal Officer and the Report of the Fiscal .Review Committee; to describe the impact of the Project upon the residents of the Project Area and the surrounding areas; and to summarize the consultations of the Redevelopment Agency with the affected taxing entities and the public. 2 II. REASONS FOR SELECTION OF THE PROJECT AREA Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project is part of a continuing effort by the City of Huntington Beach to revitalize disadvantaged areas within the community. On November 1, 1988, the Huntington Beach Planning Commission adopted Resolution 1408 approving and adopting a Preliminary Plan formulated for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project. On November 21, 1988, the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency adopted Resolution 5950 accepting the Preliminary Plan, authorizing transmittal of the Statement of Preparation to all affected taxing entities, authorizing preparation of the Program Environmental Impact Report, and retaining the 1982-83 tax assessment roll as the base year assessment roll. For many years the citizens and governmental officials of the City of Huntington Beach have been aware of the adverse conditions within the Project Area boundaries. The conditions in this Area have contributed to the physical deterioration of structures and infrastructure both within and surrounding the Project Area, a lack .of proper utilization of the Area, a decline in the economic viability of the Area, impaired investments, and social and economic maladjustment. The result has been a serious physical, social and economic burden on the community which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting alone. Redevelopment of the Project Area would attain the purpose of the Community Redevelopment Law of the State of California. The Area is in need of, and particularly suitable for, redevelopment under the provisions of the California Redevelopment statutes. Many streets within the Project Area are characterized by deteriorating surfaces and a lack of proper infrastructure (curbs, gutters, sidewalks, lighting) . Many Project Area properties exhibit structures that have become deteriorated and/or obsolescent. The age, obsolescence and ensuing deterioration of structures and the economic underutilization of the Project Area is a serious physical, social, and economic liability requiring redevelopment. The proposed Project will 3 • assist in the redevelopment of these underutilized and deficient properties. The detailed factual basis for these conclusions can be found in Section III of this .document. The determination to amend the Redevelopment Plan for the Oakview Redevelopment Project was guided' by City staff, the Huntington Beach General Plan, the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency, specific examples of structural and non-structural blight as discussed in detail in this Report, and the following facts and principles: A. The desire to revitalize and upgrade the existing residential and commercial areas within the Project Area in order to provide adequate roadways, reduce the hazard of flooding, reduce the cost of providing City services, create jobs for Project Area residents, assure social and economic stability, and promote aesthetic and environmental actions and improvements that will make the City of Huntington Beach a better place to live, work, shop and enjoy leisure time. • B. The purposes of the California Community Redevelopment Law would be achieved by the Project through the removal or rehabilitation of physically obsolete or substandard structures and other blighting influences; the elimination of nonproductive and/or nonconforming land uses; the rehabilitation, with owner participation, of existing commercial buildings; the installation, construction, reconstruction, redesign or reuse of streets, utilities, curbs, gutters, sidewalks and other associated public improvements as permitted by the Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Ordinance; the construction and/or reconstruction of various flood control and drainage facilities; the assemblage of land into parcels suitable for modern integrated development with improved pedestrian and vehicular circulation; the improvement and provision of adequate recreation facilities; and the 4 development and redevelopment of the Project Area in a manner consistent with. the policies and goals of the Huntington Beach General Plan. The redevelopment of the Project Area would implement California Community Redevelopment Law. The bases for implementing the Redevelopment Law can be stated as follows: 1. The City has a need to provide and make improvements to certain public facilities and services in the Project Area in order to reduce the continuing process of deterioration which cannot be remedied by private or governmental action without redevelopment. 2. Redevelopment can provide a means to assist existing owners in upgrading and improving their properties. 3 . The Redevelopment Project provides a means of eliminating or rehabilitating deteriorating structures and other .blighting influences which constitute poor -environments for Project Area residents, property owners, and operators of businesses. 4. The Project Area is currently characterized by economic blight caused by properties which suffer from an economic decline due to the prevalence of depreciated values and impaired investments, the existence of lots of inadequate size for proper use, and the existence of inadequate public facilities, improvements and utilities. 5. Portions of the Project Area currently contain characteristics of physical blight caused by buildings which are deteriorating due to age and obsolescence. 6. These deficient conditions dominate and injuriously affect the Project Area such that the Project Area is deficient as a whole. 5 7. The blighted conditions constitute a serious physical, social, and economic burden on the City. 8. The City has the desire to improve the Project Area in order that the existing deficient conditions which constitute physical, social and economic liabilities can be reduced or eliminated in the interest of the health, safety, and general welfare of the residents of the Project Area and the people of the City of Huntington Beach. 9. The blighted conditions which exist in the Project Area are a hindrance to the proper development of the City and cannot be eliminated or improved without public assistance. 10. There is poor visual quality to much of the Project Area including: a. Inadequate landscaping, buffering and setbacks from public rights-of-way; b. Inadequately maintained buildings; C. Unsightly overhead utility lines and poles; d. Poorly maintained vacant lots; e. Rights-of-way lacking landscaping; and f. Public improvements in need of extensive repairs and/or modifications.. 6 C. The redevelopment of the Project Area may include, but will not be limited to, the actions outlined below. The Agency proposes to eliminate and prevent the spread of blight within the Project Area by the following actions: 1. Installation, construction, reconstruction, redesign, or reuse of streets, utilities, curbs, gutters, sidewalks,. handicap ramps, and other public improvements as permitted in accordance with the -Huntington Beach General Plan and the City's Zoning Ordinance. 2 . Construction and/or reconstruction of various flood control and storm drainage facilities. 3 . Provision and/or upgrading of traffic signals, channelization, lighting and signing of various intersections, and correction 'of other existing circulation deficiencies within the Project Area. 4. Completion of various water system projects including the replacement, construction, and improvement of water lines, water storage and treatment facilities, and water meters in order to provide adequate fire flows and domestic water supplies. 5. Undergrounding of utilities in the Project Area. 6. Improvement and development of recreational facilities for local residents. 7. Construction and improvement of public protection facilities, including police and fire facilities. 8. Construction and improvement of vehicle parking facilities. 7 9. Improvement, as needed, of various utility distribution • systems including electrical, gas and telephone. 10. Improvements to streetscapes and urban design. 11. Provisions for senior citizen, low to moderate income and handicapped housing. 12 . Purchase of land, construction, reconstruction or rehabilitation of structures for the purpose of providing necessary community uses such as parking and recreational facilities, and other facilities. The above mentioned summary of major public improvements is not complete in that other public improvement projects may be proposed by the Redevelopment Agency. This does not include other anticipated Agency programs centered around structural rehabilitation, land write-down, or development of affordable housing. However, even partial completion of the above listed improvements/projects would be of significant benefit to the Project Area and the City as a whole. A summary list of specific public improvements/projects and the estimated costs is included in Appendix A of this Report. A matrix summarizing the blighting conditions within the Project Area, along with a matrix summarizing the proposed public improvements/projects, is presented in Appendix C. 8 III. DESCRIPTION OF THE PHYSICAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN THE PROJECT AREA A.

The makeup of existing land uses within the Project Area clearly differentiates the northern and southern portions of the Project Area. The northern portion is characterized by a mixture of older single family houses, sometimes more than one on the same lot, and newly contructed multi-family structures. Many of these older single family houses are in need of substantial rehabilitation and do not have adequate front yard setbacks. The northeast corner of the Project Area contains the Charter Centre, a 400, 000 square foot commercial retail and office complex. The southern portion of the Project Area primarily consists of multi-family 4-plex structures, most of which are in need of some rehabilitation. 3 . Buildings and Structures a. Deficiencies. Deterioration and Dilapidation One of the causal factors evidencing the presence of structural blight within the Project Area is the existence of deficient buildings. A windshield survey was conducted in December 1988 by Urban Futures staff to determine the condition of structures in the Project Area. Structures within the Project Area were rated separately according to a predetermined scale based upon. criteria of structural integrity and level of maintenance. Only primary structures capable of containing a major land use activity were evaluated. Due to the nature of the survey, the ratings were derived from a visual evaluation and do not represent a detailed building by building structural analysis. Each structure received one of four possible ratings. A structure was rated sound if it appeared well maintained and no physically blighting characteristics were evident. Structures displaying some degree of physical decline were rated either deficient, deteriorated, or dilapidated, depending upon the severity of the degeneration. The following is the general guideline for these ratings, which are derived from nationally accepted rating standards. • 13 . Sound The structure is no more than 25 years old and has no noticeable deficiencies in the structural condition of roof, walls, or foundation. It appears to have adequate plumbing and electrical service and is subject to a regular program of maintenance. Exterior walls and other surfaces are well painted and clean, and windows and doors are intact. Deficient The structure could be older than 25 years, however, has been maintained adequately to eliminate any major structural defects. It may show signs of deferred maintenance such as peeling paint, broken windows, or cracked plaster. The roof may show signs of minor water leaks. Deteriorated • The structure shows signs of structural deterioration such as sagging g gg g roof or walls or crumbling foundation. It may appear to have leaky plumbing or hazardous electrical service illustrated by exposed wiring, and holes may be apparent in roof or walls. Paint may be largely peeled or faded or even nonexistent, and broken windows are often apparent. Dilapidated The building is structurally unsound and maintenance is nonexistent. Its fitness for human occupation is highly questionable and the state of deterioration and neglect is such that it is a candidate for demolition. 14 TABLE 2 STRUCTURAL CONDITIONS IN THE PROJECT AREA Ratinct Number of Structures Sound 23 Deficient 122 Deteriorated 51 Dilapidated 0 TOTAL 196 Source: Urban Futures, Inc. 1988 Out of the total 196 structures rated, 173 or 88.27% are at least deficient and in need of some rehabilitation. It can be generally stated that maintenance is irregular and such conditions as peeling paint, loose roof shingles, weathered facades, and cracked foundations are common. A total of 26. 02% of all structures are deteriorated such that these structures require substantial upgrading. The existing structures present the Project. Area with an image problem which negatively impacts potential development opportunities. When clustered together, such structures create definite pockets of substandard quality and blight. The breakdown of this structural rating by existing land uses in presented in Table 3. The locations of all properties containing deteriorated structures in shown in Figure 4.

Photo #1 displays peeling paint, weathered stucco facade, and a dilapidated fence on a multi-family structure on .Mandrell Drive. Photos #2 and #8 illustrates the degree of physical degeneration found in many carport structures throughout the Project Area. Also commonplace are garage structures in need of substantial rehabilitation, as shown in photo #4. Many multi-family structures are characterized by cracked foundations, as shown in photos #5 and #7. The existence of structural blight within a Project Area constitutes a social liability upon the community because of the social problems associated with living or working in deficient structures. These problems include increased safety risks from fire, accidents, floods, and other unpredictable events. It also creates unhealthy conditions resulting from poor heating, ventilation, insulation, and sanitation, as well as personal alienation, maladjustment, and the loss of community cohesion and pride.. The physical blight caused by structural deficiencies also constitutes an economic liability for the City. Its presence depresses property values and tax revenues as well as commercial/business sales tax revenues. Additionally, such conditions negatively impact potential development opportunities. The residential structures within the Project Area are typically characterized by a lack of adequate maintenance such that rehabilitation efforts are now required to insure the safety, health, and welfare of Project Area residents. However, the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency presently does not have adequate funds to finance the needed rehabilitation programs. 17 Deficiencies, Deterioration, and Dilapidation i 1.

Defective Design and Character of Physical Construction Many residential structures within the Project Area clearly display poor construction quality in terms of both physical size and structural composition. This condition is particularly evident in many of the single family homes in the northern portion of the Project Area, particularly on Sycamore Avenue, Cypress Avenue, and Ash Street. Many single family structures are of such diminutive proportions that overcrowded living conditions are likely to occur. Examples of such structures are shown in photos #9 and #10. These structures also display defective physical characteristics due to both low quality construction materials and deferred maintenance. Photo #11 illustrates a residential structure characterized by roll-on asphalt roofing and deferred maintenance. The southern portion of the Project Area also displays physical defects in many of the multi-family residential structures. Many of these structural deficiencies, such as cracked foundations and neglected exterior surfaces, relate to deferred maintenance of such a prolonged period that some degree of rehabilitation is now necessary. All streets in the southern portion of the Project Area display these .conditions, with the most notable examples on Mandrell Drive, Koledo Lane, Queens Lane, and Barton Drive. Photo #12 displays the effects of deferred property maintenance on the entry steps to a 4-plex on Queens Lane. C. Faulty Interior Arrangement and Exterior Spacinq As previously mentioned, many Project "Area residential structures are of proportions that are likely to create overcrowded housing conditions. Overcrowding not only diminishes personal privacy and the quality of life for Project Area residents, but also provides an environment where communicable diseases can readily flourish. 22 Defective Design and Character of Physical Construction iR p If 9.

Deteriorated front steps and fence indicating lack of property maintenance. 24 In terms of exterior spacing, many single family residential structures in the northern portion of the Project Area are characterized by inadequate front yard setbacks. Many residential structures on Warner Avenue, Sycamore Avenue, Ash Street, and Cypress Avenue have front yard setbacks of only 10-15 feet. Photos #13 and #14 on the following page displays the close proximity of two single family residences to Sycamore Avenue. The house in photo #13 has no continuous buffers between the structure and roadway, and is further impacted by the parking structure located directly across the street. Photo #15 displays a single family structure with an inadequate front yard setback from Warner Avenue. This situation creates congested living conditions by subjecting residents to higher levels of noise, dust, air pollution, and visual impacts from passing motor vehicles, particularly for those residents on or adjacent to Warner Avenue, which is a major arterial for the City. The southern portion of the Project Area is characterized by multi-family 4-plex structures with rear garages containing two second floor dwelling units. These garage/duplexes are located directly adjacent to the rear alleys, without any provision for setbacks or other buffers that would reduce the noise impacts of vehicular activities. Photo #16 displays a residential unit of a multi-family structure fronting an alley, with the structure and alley separated only by a series of bollards. The 4-plexes on Jacquelyn Lane, Koledo Lane, Queens Lane, Barton Drive, and Mandrell Drive are characterized by a lack of adequate setbacks or landscape buffers between buildings, thereby creating a congested environment for local residents. d. Age and Obsolescence The overall condition of a City's housing stock is determined by the following factors: age, quality of construction, and regularity of maintenance. Obsolescence applies mainly to residential and commercial buildings where. size, layout, and other design features are no longer suitable for current uses. The obsolescence of 25 • • . • • • � • i psi .-,.� ��,•;S � -.. 'f� �"/ _..'.��`s� ��� ,_ � 1� -.'� t�.4'7`".

Residential structures throughout the Project Area are characterized by declining structural conditions due to the cumulative effects of age and deferred maintenance. Many Project Area structures which are over 25 years old have not been subject to an adequate program of maintenance. These findings are essential to the community since residential structures over 25 years- in age are most likely to display signs of deterioration resulting from deferred maintenance. The 4-plexes which characterize the southern portion of the Project Area are generally 25-30 years old and clearly display signs of age and neglect, such as weathered facades and cracked foundations. Many of the single family structures in the northern portion of the Project Area, particularly on Sycamore Avenue, Cypress Avenue, Ash Street, and the northern portion of Oak Lane, are well over 25 years in age and display varying signs of advanced deterioration. Although many Project Area residential structures are in urgent need of rehabilitation, the Redevelopment Agency presently does not have adequate funds to support such efforts. In terms of obsolescence, the diminutive size and inadequate setbacks characteristic of many single family structures in the northern portion of the Project Area severely impair the ability of such structures to provide safe, sanitary, and decent housing for Project Area residents. These features negatively impact the functional usefulness of such residences, thereby accelerating their structural obsolescence. Due to the age of the existing buildings located throughout the Project Area and the high cost involved in maintenance and upkeep, it is very likely that most of these structures will continue to decline in appearance and structural soundness, further contributing to the blighting conditions within the Project Area. Although there is a need to provide new affordable housing for many Project Area residents, the Redevelopment Agency does not presently have adequate funds to aid in the construction of new replacement housing. 28 e. Mixed and Incompatible Buildings and Land Uses There are portions of the Project Area which are characterized by an incompatible mixture of residential and commercial land uses. Many patrons of the Charter Centre complex use local Project Area streets for access to the parking garage on Ash Street, and sometimes park on local streets such as Elm Street and Cypress Avenue. Residents adjacent to this commercial/office complex are therefore subjected to higher levels of noise, dust, air pollution, and visual impairments from non-resident vehicular use of local streets. Conversely, business owners and patrons of the Charter Centre are negatively impacted by the structural deterioration evident in many adjacent residences. The physical decline of these residential structures creates the potential for a negative experience due to the unattractive visual impacts of this neighborhood, and may discourage patrons from returning to the Charter Centre. Structural rehabilitation and proper landscaping are needed to mitigate the negative visual impacts and provide some level of noise insulation. Conflicting mixtures of land uses and structures create a more difficult and expensive need to establish mitigating measures to reduce and/or eliminate incompatibility. Mixed and incompatible uses negatively influence property values and the resultant quality of new developments. In many cases, maintenance of land and structures is neglected due to the negative physical, social, and economic atmosphere created by these conflicts. All of these factors interrelate and result in reduced tax revenue to the community, increased costs of public services (e.g. , police, fire) , and a decline in public services and facilities. In summary, the existing structural deficiencies, age, and conflicting land uses all contribute to the blighting influences evident in the Project Area. Redevelopment will provide the necessary mechanisms for alleviating and/or reversing these deficiencies in a rational, comprehensive long-range approach. 29 4. Properties Some properties within the Project Area are suffering from economic maladjustment, deterioration or disuse because of inadequate public improvements, facilities and utilities, and parcels of irregular form, shape or size. a. Traffic Circulation Deficiencies The Project Area contains portions of the following arterials: Beach Boulevard, Warner Avenue, and Slater Avenue. All other Project Area streets are considered to be local streets (60 foot right-of-way) . As detailed in a technical memorandum from POD, Inc. , to City staff, Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue are classified as major arterials (120 foot right-of-way) and Slater Avenue is considered a secondary arterial (80 foot right-of-way) . Beach Boulevard, which is also a State Highway under the jurisdiction of Caltrans, is the heaviest traveled street in the City. The internal circulation system within the Project Area is considered to be an incomplete grid pattern which restricts access between the northern and southern portions of the Project Area. Although four Project Area streets intersect with Slater Avenue, only Queens Avenue enables passage to the northern section via Barton Drive to Koledo Lane to Mandrell Drive, which connects with both Oak Lane and Ash Street. The northern portion of the Project Area is considered to be an incomplete grid system in that access to Beach Boulevard is interrupted by the Charter Centre and access to Nichols Street (a north-south local street located west of the Project Area) is interrupted by the Oakview School and Community Center. As previously mentioned, local streets in the northern portion service not only resident traffic flows, but also patrons of the Charter Centre utilizing the parking garage located at the northeast corner of Sycamore Avenue and Ash Street. Furthermore, due to the current traffic congestion at the intersection of Warner Avenue and 30 Beach Boulevard, many motorists traveling east-bound on Warner Avenue who wish to turn south-bound on Beach Boulevard by-pass this intersection by taking Ash Street south-bound to Cypress Avenue east-bound to the Cypress/Beach intersection. This spill-over of through-traffic and the constant flow of Charter Centre patrons results in significantly heavier traffic volumes than normally experienced on local residential streets. In addition to the heavy traffic volumes created by external pressures, many streets in the Project Area, particularly in the northern portion, are in substandard condition and require substantial improvements. Street widths range from the required 60 foot right-of-way for local streets down to only 20 feet of street pavement. These narrow streets are also characterized by deteriorating surfaces, incomplete lighting, and a lack of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. Project Area streets in this condition include Sycamore Avenue, Ash Street, Cypress Avenue, and Elm Street. The substandard widths and surfaces of these streets, along with the • spill-over impacts of through-traffic and Charter Centre patrons, impedes the successful flow of traffic and creates higher levels of noise, air pollution, and traffic delays. Emergency vehicles for fire, police, and health services are also negatively impacted by impaired road access due to narrow and congested streets. In summary, inadequate street capacity, poor circulation, and inadequate access all create significant circulation problems in traffic flow throughout the Project Area. b. Deficient Street, Curb, Gutter, Sidewalk, and Lighting Facilities Deficiencies in the street system facilities are evident throughout the Project Area, as shown in Figure 5. Cracked street pavements and potholes characterize many street surfaces in the Project Area, particularly in the northern streets such as Sycamore Avenue, Ash Street, Cypress Avenue, and Elm Street. Deteriorating street surfaces include many local streets, as shown in photo #17; and even along Warner Avenue, as shown in photo #18. The northern portion of 31 IrnnlllulH!2MA R AVE.

Alleyway displaying deteriorated surface and drainage deficiencies. 36 the Project Area is generally characterized by narrow, disintegrating streets that lack curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, as evidenced in photos #19-#21. Photo #22 displays a portion of Cypress Avenue characterized by cracked street pavement, potholes, and a lack of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. Photo #23 shows a cracked and uneven sidewalk on Mandrell Drive with inadequate asphalt resurfacing. Many Project Area alleys are also in need of resurfacing, as shown in photo #24. Specifically, Sycamore Avenue is characterized by a lack of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, with the exception of the northern portion of the street adjacent to the Charter Centre parking garage. This street is very narrow and the surfacing is in a state of almost complete disintegration, particularly west of the Ash Street intersection. Street lighting on Sycamore Avenue is incomplete and inadequate. Ash Street north of Cypress Avenue is also very narrow and in a state of structural deterioration. This portion of Ash Street is lacking in curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, and also does not have adequate street lighting. Cypress Avenue is a narrow and deteriorating street with curbs, gutters, and sidewalks provided on only a few properties. Oak Lane lacks curbs, gutters, and sidewalks along the east side of the street north of Cypress Avenue. Elm Street is also lacking curbs, gutters, and sidewalks north of Cypress Avenue, with the exception of the eastern portion which abuts the Holiday Spa structure, and has an incomplete provision of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks south of Cypress Avenue. Street surface cracking is also evident along Elm Street. Barton Drive is characterized by incomplete street lighting facilities. Jacquelyn Lane is characterized by cracked street pavements and cracked curbs. The provision of adequate street surfaces is necessary for safe and smooth flowing vehicular access. Narrow streets in an advanced state of disrepair, coupled with-the spill-over of non-resident traffic, tends to slow traffic flows and thus extends the travel time of motorists on these local streets. 37 The lack of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks often results in standing water on the roadside shoulders, forcing pedestrians to utilize street surfaces for passage. The pedestrian use of street surfaces creates potentially hazardous situations as motorists and pedestrians attempt to share local streets of substandard width. This condition is extremely critical due to the fact that most daytime pedestrian travel consists of small children coming or going to school. The lack of sidewalks and adequate street lighting also creates potentially dangerous night time travel conditons for pedestrians. Substantial improvements are also needed for the Project Area alleys. Cracked pavements, potholes, standing water, and overgrown vegetation are commonplace in many alleyways. The poor condition of these alleys not only impedes vehicular circulation, but also imposes potential traffic and pedestrian conflicts through the lack of proper , lighting and haphazard parking. The Project Area in general is in urgent need of substantial street surface rehabilitation, along with the construction of adequate curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and street lights. Although the provision of these street infrastructural facilities is essential for the safety, health, and welfare of Project Area residents, the Redevelopment Agency does not presently have adequate funding to provide these facilities. C. Drainage System Deficiencies The lack of curbs and gutters in the many portions of the Project Area prevents storm water from being effectively channeled off the street surfaces, leading to health and safety hazards ,for local residents. Despite the presence of underground storm drainage lines along Beach Boulevard, Warner Avenue, Ash Street, and Sycamore and Cypress Avenues between Ash and Elm Streets, the lack of above-ground drainage facilities results in long-standing puddles of water which contribute to unhealthful living conditions by providing a habitat for disease carrying insects. The locations of storm drainage deficiencies throughout the Project Area are shown in Figure 6. 38 WARNER AVE. 1 r FIR D --------------- J J BELSITO DR. r -- w w t] CYPRESS O I � KRISTIN CR.

Lack of proper storm drainage and incomplete , provision of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks on Elm Street. 41 Photos #25-#28 clearly display these deficiencies along Sycamore Avenue, Cypress Avenue, and Elm Street. As a result of the Project Area's lack of adequate above-ground storm drainage facilities, even small amounts of rainfall can cause puddling along street shoulders, becoming not only an inconvenience but also a. health and safety hazard. As the streets lacking curbs and gutters typically also lack sidewalks, pedestrians are forced on to the street surface and must compete with motor vehicles for the limited street pavement space. These drainage system inadequacies are factors which contribute to both physical and economic blight within the Project Area. These conditions help promote physical blight since some properties are not being served by adequate drainage facilities which meet public health standards. These existing conditions also lead to economic blight by contributing to potential depreciated property values and overall investment decline since existing drainage facilities are not adequate to serve new development within the Project Area. d. Water Distribution Deficiencies The Project Area is characterized by a number of water lines which are only 6 inches in diameter. While 6 inch water lines are considered the minimally acceptable size for single family residential neighborhoods, modern construction standards call for a minimum diameter of 8 inches for new water distribution lines since 6 inch lines are not always capable of providing needed fire flows during peak demand periods. As shown in Figure 7, Queens Lane, Barton Drive, Jacquelyn Lane, Elm Street, and portions of Oak Lane, Cypress Avenue, and Sycamore Avenue are characterized by 6 inch water lines. Furthermore, some Project Area residents must rely on private wells for their drinking water, which are often characterized by inconsistent supplies and variable water quality. Since the provision of adequate drinking water is essential to the public health and welfare, the revitalization of the Project Area cannot be fully achieved without an adequate water supply and distribution system. 42 IMF WARNER AVE.

Existing Social Conditions 1. Proyect Area Population The 1980 U.S. Census reported a total population of 170,486 for the City of Huntington Beach. According to the California Department of Finance, the total Citywide population is now at 187,740 as of January 1988. Therefore, the City's population has grown 10.1% from 1980 to 1988, which translates into an average annual growth rate of 1. 3%. The steady growth in population experienced by Huntington Beach in recent years has put increased pressure on Huntington Beach's public services and facilities. As Huntington Beach's population continues to expand throughout the City, there will be greater pressure to improve and expand upon the infrastructure within the Project Area. The current residential population of the Project Area is estimated to be 1, 620 persons. This figure was calculated by multiplying the total number of residential. units for all single and multi-family structures (592 dwelling units) by the average household size of 2 .736 for the City of Huntington Beach, as reported by the Department of Finance (although the average Project Area household size is likely to be greater than the Citywide average, a more specific average for the Project Area is not presently available) . Since the population of the entire City is 187,740, the Project Area contains approximately 0.86% of the Huntington Beach population. 2 . Prevalence of Social Maladjustment Social maladjustment reflected in the forms of crime, juvenile delinquency, welfare dependency, and unemployment, is another indication of blighting conditions in the Project Area. According to the statistical division of the Huntington Beach Police Department, crime rates in the Project Area are among the highest in the City. Although the Project Area represents less than one percent of the total Citywide population, an average of about ten percent of 44 all Citywide homocides and assaults occur within its reporting idistrict (the 272 reporting district, which is bounded on the north by Warner Avenue, on the east by Beach Boulevard, on the south by Slater Avenue, and on the west by Gothard Street) . There were a total of 2, 396 police calls in this reporting district for 1986 and 2,577 police calls during 1987, representing a very high 7.6% annual increase. Even more significant is the fact that the average annual number of police calls for a reporting district in the City is about 600 calls. Therefore, the Project Area reporting district had over, four times as many police calls in 1987 as the average reporting district. Reports of crime in residential areas implies security hardware deficiencies, poor physical design, obtrusive shrubbery, and deficient street. lighting. Crime occurring in commercial areas implies deficiencies in the physical security of commercial buildings such as structural design, floor plan layout, landscaping, lighting, circulation systems, and parking structures. As previously . mentioned, many Project Area streets have inadequate lighting facilities. The lack of adequate street lighting coupled with the mature trees and bushes surrounding many residential structures provides convenient concealment for burglars. Furthermore, the narrow and poorly paved streets throughout the Project Area results in patrolling problems due to the incomplete circulation system. Crime is often related to high unemployment and underemployment levels. According to a recent status report prepared by the City, the percentage of families in the Project Area falling below the poverty level is nearly double the percentage for the rest of City. Female heads of household in the Project Area are also nearly double the Citywide average, and the unemployment rate is significantly higher for the Project Area in comparison with the overall City rate. The prevalence of social maladjustment is also determined by the existence of vandalism and property neglect. Photos #29-#33 display . vandalism in the form of graffiti on houses, fences, garage doors, and public signs. The presence of graffiti often indicates the 45 W I I '^ N a,!t►�11r'4aM1kT+�iy�'i 4r�"r+;M v au�,�aF:vS}`r�'�"r'\^�.w."

The Project Area's high crime rate and the predominance of graffiti throughout the Area appears to verify the occurrence of juvenile related offenses-. Social maladjustment is also indicated by the lack of property upkeep throughout the Project Area. Photos #33-#36 clearly display this condition in the form of discarded furniture, paint cans, various debris; and landscaped open space areas used for parking automobiles. The accumulation of discarded materials and debris on residential properties may indicate a lack of neighborhood pride among some local residents. This attitude often reflects a feeling of alienation from the community and a sense of powerlessness towards any effort to upgrade existing conditions. Redevelopment can provide the mechanism to help local residents rehabilitate their properties and provide City officials with the funds for infrastructural and public protection improvements, thereby increasing community cohesion and improving the quality of life for Project Area residents. At present, however, the Redevelopment Agency does not have sufficient funding to initiate these needed improvements. 50 C. Existing Economic Conditions Currently the City of Huntington Beach lacks the financial resources to fully fund public improvements that could support the type of beneficial development necessary for .a healthy economic base. Therefore, an amended Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area is proposed in an effort to alleviate and/or reverse the blighting conditions described herein. 1. Prevalence of Depreciated values and Impaired Investments Two indicators of economic blight are defined as the prevalence of depreciated land values and impaired investments. Briefly, depreciated land values are simply the decline in the assessed value of property due to many of the factors previously mentioned, including physical problems such as inadequate public facilities and the prevalence of social maladjustment. Impaired investments result from the same conditions and are basically a socio-economic reaction to depreciated values. An impaired investment is a rented or leased residential, commercial, or industrial property on which the values or the return on the owner's equity is diminishing or has stopped altogether, and/or the equity itself is in danger of being partially or totally lost. One key indicator of impaired investments is a prevalence of deferred maintenance on the part of local property owners, as evidenced in photos #1-#8 of this Report. Another indicator is the lack of public infrastructural improvements such as street surfacing, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and street lighting. This lack of public improvements tends to depress property values and discourages local property owners from investing in structural improvements to their properties. These general conditions such as inadequate infrastructure and public amenities or the inaccessibility of the parcel due to inadequate street improvements deters the potential developer from investment. 51 This discourages economic investments that would convert economically underproductive or unproductive parcels into productive land uses. The failure of the property owners to fully utilize these parcels is evidence of the impaired investments resulting from inadequate public improvements and public facilities which cannot be remedied by private or governmental action without the aid of redevelopment. Although most of this underutilized land in the Project Area has the potential for improvement. through structural rehabilitation or new construction, it is unlikely that this will occur without assistance from the Redevelopment Agency. The lack of improvements on these parcels is indicative of the inability of the private market to bring about their utilization. The combination of the cost for needed pre-development improvements, assembly or division of parcels, marginal economic activity and/or inability of the parcel owner to invest make these parcels undevelopable without public assistance. Redevelopment Agency actions that will make these parcels viable for development are essential in order to facilitate development of the vacant and underutilized land within the Project Area. One such action would be the establishment of a "land write-down pool" by the Redevelopment Agency. These programs are described in Appendix A of this document. The existence of underutilized and unproductive parcels in the Project Area is indicative of the prevalence of impaired investments, which is a factor contributing to economic blight. The end result is a serious social and economic burden on the community caused by deferred structural maintenance, overall property neglect, unsightly vacant lots, inhibited growth in property values and tax revenues, and unrealized housing opportunities. 52 IV. PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF PROPOSED METHOD OF FINANCING REDEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT AREA A. General Financing Methods Available to the Redevelopment Agency and Proposed Method of Financing the Protect The amended Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project will provide the framework for the various "tools" of financing available to the Redevelopment Agency. A summary of financing methods are discussed below: Once a Redevelopment Plan is adopted by the City, the Redevelopment Agency is authorized to finance the Project with tax increments, interest income, Agency bonds, loans from private institutions, proceeds from the sale or lease of property, financial assistance from the City, County, State of California, Federal Government, or any other public agency, or any other legally available source. • The City may, in accordance with the law, .make advances and expend money as necessary to assist the Agency in carrying out the Project. Any such assistance shall be on terms established by an agreement between the City and the Agency. As available, gas tax funds from the State of California and the County may be used for the street system. As available, federal loans and grants will be used to finance portions of Project costs. The Agency is authorized to issue tax exempt bonds if appropriate and feasible in an amount sufficient to finance all or any part of the Project. Tax exempt bonds could be issued to .finance mortgages, to establish a revolving loan fund, or to establish any other kind of housing assistance program. Loans could be of the deferred interest type to keep monthly costs down. Mortgage Revenue Bond proceeds could also be used for construction in rehabilitation areas. In addition, tax increment secured bonds or notes could be used to 53 "benefits" of housing rehabilitation in redevelopment areas. Assessment district bonds can be used for the financing of infrastructure improvements. The Agency is authorized to obtain advances, borrow funds and create indebtedness in carrying out the Plan. The principal and interest on such advances, funds, and indebtedness may be paid from tax increments or any other funds available to the Agency. All taxes levied upon taxable property within the Project Area each year by or for the benefit of the State of California, any district, or other public corporation (hereinafter sometimes called "taxing agencies") after the effective date of the Ordinance approving the Redevelopment Plan will be divided as follows: 1. That portion of the taxes which would be produced by the rate upon which the tax is levied each year by or for each of the taxing agencies upon the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable property in the Redevelopment Project as shown upon the assessment roll used in connection with the taxation of such property by such taxing agency, last equalized prior to the effective date of such ordinance, shall be allocated to and when collected shall. be paid to the respective taxing agencies as taxes by or for said taxing agencies on all other property are paid (for the purpose of allocating taxes levied by or for any taxing agency or agencies which did not include the territory of the Project on the effective date of such ordinance but to which such territory is annexed or otherwise included after such effective date, the assessment roll last equalized on the effective date of said ordinance shall be used in determining the assessed valuation of the taxable property in the Project on said effective date) ; and 2. That portion of the levied taxes each year in excess of such amount shall be allocated to and when collected shall be paid into a special fund of the Agency to pay the principal of and interest on • bonds, loans, moneys advanced to, or indebtedness (whether -funded, 54 refunded, assumed or otherwise) incurred by the Agency to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, the Redevelopment Project. Unless and until the total assessed value of the taxable property in the Project exceeds the total assessed value of the taxable property in the Project as shown by the last equalized assessment roll referred to above, all of the taxes levied and collected upon the taxable property in the Project shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies. When said bonds, loans, advances and indebtedness, if any, and interest thereon, have been paid, all moneys thereafter received from taxes upon the taxable property in the Project shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies as taxes on all other property are paid. '1 3. That portion of tax revenues allocated to the Agency pursuant to the paragraph (2) above which is attributable to increases in the rate of tax imposed for the benefit of any affected taxing agency which levy occurs after the tax year in which the Ordinance adopting the Plan becomes effective, shall be allocated to such affected taxing agency to the extent the affected taxing agency has elected in the manner required by law to receive such allocation. Taxing agencies may request receipt of property taxes which are the result of inflationary increases in assessed value of up to 2% of base year. No loan, advance or indebtedness to be repaid from such allocation from taxes established or incurred by the Agency to finance in whole or in part the Redevelopment Project shall be established or incurred after a date to be determined following the date of adoption of the Ordinance approving and adopting the Redevelopment Plan. Such loan, advance or indebtedness may be repaid over a period of time longer than such time limit. Such time limitation may be extended only by amendment of the Redevelopment Plan. The amount of bonded indebtedness, to be repaid, in whole or in part from such allocation of taxes, which can be outstanding at one time .shall at a limit to be determined, cannot be changed without an amendment of the Redevelopment Plan. 55 Any other loans, grants, guarantees or financial assistance from the . United States or any other public or private source will be utilized if available as appropriate in carrying out the Project. B. Estimated Project Costs As illustrated in Appendix A of this document, the estimated cost associated with the effective redevelopment of the Project Area in 1989 dollars is $601180, 000. C. Assessment of Economic Feasibility of Project and Reasons for Including Tax Increment Allocation P oyisions At the time of document preparation the information requested from the County, in accordance with Section 33328 of the California Community Redevelopment Law, was not available. When this information is received, it will be incorporated into future • documents. Without the tax increment allocations, the City and/or Agency would be severely limited in their ability to provide those needed improvements that would improve and alleviate the existing blighted conditions in the Project Area as described in section III of this Report. 56 • V. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE SPECIFIC PROJECTS PROPOSED WILL IMPROVE OR ALLEVIATE THE PHYSICAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS EXISTING IN THE PROJECT AREA. Included in Appendix A of this document are the proposed public improvements/projects that are intended to alleviate and/or reverse the physical, social and economic conditions that are characteristic of blight within the Project Area (Section III) . The proposed public improvements/projects are grouped in four (4) main categories: (1) infrastructure; (2) housing programs; (3) community development programs; and (4) community facilities. The following describes how these proposed public improvements/projects will alleviate and/or reverse those blighted conditions within the Project Area. A. Infrastructure The proposed infrastructural improvements are designed to alleviate and/or reverse existing deficiencies within the Project Area, and City as a whole, as described in detail in Section III. These improvements/projects have been developed by the Agency to encourage rehabilitaton and redevelopment of properties by addressing those limiting and deficient elements of the infrastructure that most seriously impact the Project Area. The proposed improvements/projects focus on construction and rehabilitation of water and drainage facilities, underground utilities and lighting, circulation programs, community development programs and community facilities. 1. Circulation The proposed circulation system improvements/projects are designed to alleviate and/or reverse existing circulation problems within the Project Area as described in detail in Section III. These improvements/projects focus generally on improving street and intersection capacities by widening, realignment, and signalization, and the construction or rehabilitation of off-street parking • facilities. 57 2 . Water System Improvements The proposed water system improvements are designed to alleviate and/or reverse existing deficiencies within the Project Area, and City as a whole, as described in detail in Section III. These improvements/projects focus on the rehabilitation of existing wells and/or to provide funding for new water sources and enlargement of aged, deteriorated and undersized transmission mains. 3 . Storm Drain Improvements The proposed storm drain improvements are designed to alleviate and/or reverse .existing drainage deficiencies within the Project Area, and City as a whole, as described in detail in Section III. These improvements/projects focus on the construction, rehabilitation and enlargement of aged, deteriorated, undersized and needed drainage facilities such as street curbs and gutters. 4. Underground Utility and Lighting Improvements The proposed underground utility and lighting improvements are designed to improve the image of the Project Area by improving the visually offensive view of the Area by placing overhead lines underground and providing an improved lighting system. B. Housing Programs The proposed housing programs have been designed to meet housing inadequacies within the Project Area and City as a whole for the benefit of low and moderate income households. These proposed programs include housing rehabilitation, relocation assistance and the development of new low and moderate income housing within the City. 58 C. Community Development Programs The proposed community development programs have been designed to meet the needs of businesses within the Project Area, and City as a whole, and to improve the economic conditions of the area as described in detail in Section III. Proposed programs include rehabilitation, funding of area studies, and the provision of land write-down and land assembly monies. D. Community Facilities The proposed improvements to community facilities have been designed to improve and alleviate existing deficiencies as described in detail in Section III. The proposed improvements/projects focus on upgrading existing facilities and additional services for the primary benefit of City residents. The proposed public improvements/projects identified in Appendix A were developed to alleviate, improve and generally reverse the blighted conditions within the Project Area, and City as a whole. They will be implemented as funds are received and/or allocated from a variety of sources as described in Section IV and as social and development needs dictate. 59 VI. PLAN AND METHOD OF RELOCATION The Amended Redevelopment Plan (Sections 411, 412, 413) specifies the method of relocation for property owners and businesses displaced by Agency activities. The Agency shall assist in the relocation of all persons displaced by Agency acquisition of property in the Project Area. The Agency intends to accomplish all redevelopment pursuant to the Amended Redevelopment Plan with as little displacement of property owners and businesses as possible. The Agency is authorized to. pay all relocation payments to provide relocation .advisory assistance in conformity with the .adopted Relocation Plan and the California` Relocation Assistance Guidelines or as otherwise required or authorized by law. All relocation shall be conducted in accordance with Article 9, Chapter 4 of the • California Community Redevelopment Law. • 60 VII. ANALYSIS OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAN The Preliminary Plan for Amendment No. One 'to the Oakview Redevelopment Project describes the boundaries of the Project Area, contains general statements regarding permitted land uses, layouts of principal streets, population densities, building intensities, and building standards proposed as the basis for the redevelopment of the Project Area. The Preliminary Plan also shows how the purpose of the California Community Redevelopment Law would be attained through the proposed Amendment, explains how the proposed Amendment conforms to the General Plan of the City, and describes generally the impact of the proposed Amendment upon residents thereof and upon the surrounding neighborhoods. The Amended Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project conforms with the standards and provisions of the Preliminary Plan. Project Area boundaries are as proposed in the Amended Redevelopment Plan (map. and legal description) . The Amended Redevelopment Plan proposes the land uses and principal streets indicated in the Preliminary Plan. Proposed building standards remain as previously adopted for local use. The City of Huntington Beach has an adopted General Plan which includes all the elements mandated by State law. The Preliminary Plan conforms to the General Plan and its required elements. 61 VIII.

SUMMARY OF MEETINGS AND INFORMATION PRESENTED TO PROPERTY OWNERS, RESIDENTS, AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS This information is included under separate cover as part of this Report to the City Council. • • 65 XII. REPORT OF THE FISCAL REVIEW COMMITTEE A Fiscal Review Committee has been formed and a Report of this Committee is currently being prepared. This Report and the Agency's response to this Report are included under separate cover as part of this Report to the City Council. 66 . XIII. NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT REPORT A. Relocation The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency has adopted a Plan for relocation of any persons displaced as a result of this Project. The methods for assisting any displaced persons are outlined in Sections 412, 413, and 414 of the Amended Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project. B. Traffic Circulation A number of public improvements to streets and rights-of-way within and adjacent to the Project Area are being proposed according to the Amended Redevelopment Plan. The Project Area is primarily a grid pattern with major arterials playing a significant role in moving vehicular traffic as well as connecting segments of the Project Area. This circulation system also provides access to property in the Project Area. It is generally proposed that the Agency will upgrade streets by resurfacing, improving freeway access, realignment, restriping, signalization, construction, and/or reconstruction where required or desired. In addition,. sidewalks, . gutters, and other usual infrastructure will be upgraded during the process of improving the Project Area. These physical improvements will result in safer and more efficient traffic circulation throughout the Project Area. Street, alley, and/or established new rights-of-way will occur in accordance with the Amended Redevelopment Plan. C. Environmental Quality Some of the basic objectives of this Project are the improvement of residential and commercial properties, as well as public facilities, within the Project Area. It is anticipated that the Project will allow the Agency to assist developments by providing financial assistance in the form of increased public improvements, the ability 67 • to finance mortgages at below market rates, rehabilitation loans and other methods of establishing a more viable area to live, work, and play. The potential environmental impacts of this Project have been evaluated in detail in the Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for this Project, which has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA) , as amended. The EIR is a part of the Report to the City Council on the Amended Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. One to the Oakview . Redevelopment Project. All proposed future development or Agency activity will be reviewed by the City for compatibility with adjacent uses and the potential impact upon adjacent properties. In addition, specific environmental analysis of future major projects will take place as as required by CEQA. D. Availability of Community Facilities and Services • The Project is not expected to create a significant adverse impact on community facilities and services. Project implementation activities include provisions for additional public improvements, utilities and other facilities which may be required as a result of the Project. As the Project Area is improved, buildings will be less of a fire hazard and a better physically developed Project Area will influence and reduce the demand for other public protection services (e.g. , police, fire) . The impact of the Project on the community facilities and services is evaluated in the EIR for this Project. The EIR is a part of the Report to the City Council on the Amended Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project. E. Effect on School Population and Quality of Education One of the primary purposes for this Amended Project is to provide a • mechanism for the financing of public works improvements. However, the Agency also intends to eliminate and prevent the spread of blight 68 in the Project Area by providing housing for families of all income levels, including low and moderate income families. The addition of new residential units is not anticipated to significantly impact local educational facilities and services. However, if the Agency does propose any large residential developments, then any potential adverse impacts to the schools will be identified and appropriate mitigation measures will be considered in connection with that specific development. F. Property Assessment and Taxes The Project will be funded principally through tax increment financing rather than through special assessments, new taxes, or general funds. Any increase in property taxes is regulated by law, and therefore the improvement of properties adjacent to redevelopment projects will have little effect on property taxes of residential properties. However, the revitalization of the Project Area may have a positive effect on the market value of properties in adjacent neighborhoods, resulting in some increase in assessed valuation as properties change ownership and are reassessed. The system of tax increment financing does not in any way alter the rate of property tax applicable to property owners in the Project Area, but instead simply modifies the allocations among taxing agencies of the property taxes that are received from the ,Project Area. G. Number of Persons Expected to be Displaced by the Project It is anticipated that few residential units will be eliminated by the proposed Amendment. The Agency intends to accomplish redevelopment pursuant to the Amended Redevelopment Plan with as little displacement of persons as is reasonably feasible. Refer to Appendix A of this document for a list of the proposed housing programs for the Project Area. One of the primary Agency objectives is to provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing for families of all income levels, including low and moderate income families. In addition, it is a primary purpose of the Project to provide a 69 mechanism for the financing of public works improvements. Such actions should not result in any significant displacement actions. The following are exerpts from the Amended Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project: The terms "affordable rent", "replacement dwelling unit", "persons and families of low or moderate income" and "very low income households" as used herein shall have the meanings as defined by the Redevelopment Law. and other State and local laws and regulations pertaining thereto (Section 43.0) . To the extent required by Health and Safety Code Section 33334.3, the Agency may, inside or outside the Project Area, acquire land, donate land, improve sites, or construct or rehabilitate structures in order to provide housing for persons and families of low or moderate income. The Agency may also provide subsidies to, or for the benefit of, such persons and families or households to assist them in obtaining housing within the City (Section 431) . Whenever dwelling units housing persons and families of low or moderate income are destroyed or removed from the low and moderate income housing market as part of the Project, the Agency shall, within four years of such destruction or removal, rehabilitate, develop or construct, or cause to be rehabilitated, developed or constructed, for rental or sale to persons and families of low or moderate income an equal number of replacement dwelling units at affordable rents within the City (Section 432) . To the extent required by Health and Safety Code Section 33413, at least thirty percent (30%) of all new or rehabilitated dwelling units developed within the Project Area by the Agency shall be for persons and families of low and moderate income; and of such thirty percent (30%) , not less than fifty (50%) thereof shall be for very low income households. At least fifteen percent (15%) of all new or rehabilitated units developed within the Project Area by public or private entities or persons other than the Agency shall be for 70 persons and families of low and moderate income; and of such fifteen percent (15%) , not less than forty percent (40%) thereof shall be for very low income households. The percentage requirements set forth in this Section shall apply in the aggregate to housing in the Project Area and not to each individual case of rehabilitation, development or construction of dwelling units. . The Agency shall require, by contract or other appropriate means, that whenever any low and moderate income housing units are developed within the Project Area, such units shall be made available on a priority basis for rent or purchase, whichever the case may be, to persons and families of low and moderate income displaced by the Project; provided, however, that failure to give such priority shall not affect the validity of title to the real property upon which such housing units have been developed (Section 433) . To the extent required by Health and Safety Code Section 33413, the Agency shall require that the aggregate number of dwelling units rehabilitated, developed or constructed pursuant to Sections 432 and 433 shall remain for persons and families of low and moderate income and very low income households, respectively, for not less than the period set forth in Section 900 for the duration of this Plan (Section 434) . If insufficient suitable housing units are available in the City for use by persons and families of low and moderate income displaced by the Project, the Agency may, to the extent of that deficiency, direct or cause the development, rehabilitation or construction of housing units within the City, both inside and outside of the Project Area (Section 434) . The Project Area .will serve as a housing relocation resource for this Project and other redevelopment projects undertaken by the Agency as needed, as well as provide readily available parcels for the expansion of low and moderate income housing in the City. i 71 • The Agency shall assist in the relocation of all persons (including families, business concerns, and others) displaced by Agency acquisition of property in the Project Area. The Agency intends to accomplish all redevelopment pursuant to this Plan with as little displacement of persons from businesses or residences as is feasible. In order to carry out the Project with a minimum of hardship to persons displaced from. their homes, the Agency shall assist individuals and families in finding housing that is decent, . safe, sanitary, within their financial means, in reasonably convenient locations, and otherwise suitable to their needs. The Agency is also authorized to provide housing outside .the Project Area .for displaced persons (Section 413) . The Agency is authorized to pay all relocation payments and provide relocation advisory assistance in conformity with the California Relocation Assistance Guidelines or as otherwise required or authorized by law to all Project Area residents and business concerns relocated from the Project Area. All relocation shall be conducted in accordance with Article 9, Chapter 4 of the Redevelopment Law (Section 414) . The Agency is authorized and directed to advise, encourage, and with the consent of the owner, assist in the rehabilitation of property in the Project Area not owned by the Agency. The Agency is also authorized to rehabilitate, or to cause to be rehabilitated, buildings or structures in the Project Area to the greatest extent permitted by law (Section 420) . As necessary in carrying out this Plan, the Agency is authorized to move or to cause to be moved any standard structure or building or any structure or building which can be rehabilitated to a location within or outside the Project Area (Section 421) . H. Funding Proposed for Low and Moderate Income Housing Except as otherwise provided in Health and Safety Code Section 33334.2, not less than twenty percent (20%) of all taxes which are 72 allocated to the Agency pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33670 shall be used by the Agency for the purpose of increasing and improving the City's supply of housing low persons and families of low or moderate income and very low income households. I. Projected Timetable for Meeting Rehabilitation and Replacement Housing Objectives Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project is principally focused on eliminating the conditions that are characterized in Health and Safety Code Sections 33031 and 33032 which presently predominate the Project Area. Housing needs in the Project Area will be addressed in accordance with the Housing Element to the Huntington Beach General Plan and the Amended Redevelopment Plan. The provisions of Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project and the associated Amended Redevelopment Plan shall be effective, and the provisions of other documents formulated pursuant to the Amended Redevelopment Plan may be made effective for forty (40) years from • the date of adoption of the Amended Redevelopment Plan by the City Council. All replacement housing obligations will be met as rapidly as is feasible, and in any event, by not later than four (4) years following the destruction or removal of dwelling units housing persons or families of low and moderate income from the low and moderate income housing market as part of this Project. 73 XIV.

Taxonomy of Critical Facilities ill iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY General Overview The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency is proposing the establishment of Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project. The Redevelopment Agency proposes to amend the existing Redevelopment Plan in order to provide adequate financing for activities related .to upgrading public facilities and improving the quality of life for Project Area residents, employees, and business owners. The need to revitalize and upgrade the Project Area is necessary in order to provide adequate roadways, reduce the hazard of flooding, provide improved housing opportunities, provide improvements to community facilities, improve public infrastructure deficiencies, assure social and economic stability, and promote aesthetic and environmental actions and improvements. The specific location and boundaries of the Project Area are presented in Section 1.2 of this Report. The Project Area is currently made up of residential, commercial, and vacant properties. The following is a brief summary of Project impacts and recommended mitigation measures that are described in Chapter 2.0, Environmental Impact Analysis, of this Report. 1 • SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS A. ECONOMICS AND FISCAL IMPACTS Impacts All economic and fiscal impacts to the Project Area as a result of this proposed Project will be positive in nature. An improved economic climate within the Project Area will benefit Citywide public and private entities. Mitigation Measures No mitigation measures are necessary. B. POPULATION AND HOUSING Impacts to Project Area housing and residents resulting from implementation of this proposed Project will be positive. Implementation of this Project will result in an increase in the City's affordable housing stock, availability of housing, and residential and commercial rehabilitation. Mitigation Measures No mitigation measures are necessary. C. TRAFFIC AND CIRCULATION Impacts Project implementation could result in the generation of increased traffic volumes within the Project Area and its • surrounding environs due, in part, to an increase in the Project 2 Area's economic viability, improved housing market, and • employment base. However, implementation of the proposed Project will improve present circulation system deficiencies. Mitigation Measures Implementation of the proposed street and circulation improvements will include, but may not be limited to, street realignment and widening, improved signalization, additional lighting, and resurfacing programs. These proposed public improvement projects are also mitigation measures since such improvements will reduce existing circulation/traffic deficiencies and allow for orderly growth in accordance with the City's General Plan. Level of Significance After Mitigation Measures Insignificant D. NOISE Impacts Long Term Due to the growth accommodating nature of the proposed Project, a moderate increase in noise levels, created primarily by a moderate increase in vehicular activity, may occur within and around the Project Area. Short Term Implementation of the proposed Project will generate, directly or indirectly, a variety of construction projects. These projects will include, but may not be limited to, construction • and/or rehabilitation of commercial facilities, roadway 3 improvement projects, and sewer and water system improvement projects. Implementation of these public improvement projects will generate, to varying degrees, an increase in short term noise levels caused by construction equipment and related construction activities. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures are recommended: (1) adherence to the policies and actions as described in the Huntington Beach General Plan Noise Element; (2) ensure land use compatibility in conformance with the Land Use and Noise Elements of the City's General Plan; (3) mandate appropriate building setbacks and noise barriers when circumstances dictate; (4) limit construction activities to daytime hours; and (5) require proper maintenance of infrastructural facilities and landscape noise barriers. Level of Significance After Mitigation Measures Insignificant E. AIR QUALITY Impacts Long Term Due to the growth accommodating nature of the proposed Project, a comparative decrease in air quality may occur. However, an improved circulation system will work to lessen long term negative impacts to air quality by reducing motor vehicle emissions produced by idling engines and use of local streets by through-traffic. 4 Short Term The implementation of the proposed public improvement projects will result in the short term emission of dust particles and exhaust from construction vehicles during the construction phase of such improvements. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures are proposed: (1) Agency .participation with the City of Huntington Beach, the County of Orange, and the South Coast Air Quality Air Management District in development of long range solutions to regional air quality problems; (2) individual project review, as necessary and in accord with. CEQA requirements, to determine specific project impacts upon local and regional air quality; (3) encourage the use of public transportation; (4) when necessary, construction of site watering programs; and (5) use of emission control • filters for construction equipment. Level of Significance -After Mitigation Measures Insignificant F. LAND USE Impacts The proposed Project will be consistent with the City of Huntington Beach Land Use Element, Huntington Beach Zoning Ordinance, and all other applicable City, County, State and Federal land use regulations and guidelines. There will be no negative impacts upon existing or future land uses within the Project Area or its environs since all proposed improvements will be implemented in accordance with the City's General Plan. 5 Mitigation Measures • The proposed public improvement projects should be considered mitigations to existing Project Area land use deficiencies. No additional mitigation measures are necessary. Level of Significance After Mitigation Measures Insignificant G. CULTURAL RESOURCES Impacts It is not anticipated that the proposed Project will impact any existing or potential sites of any archaeological or historic significance. • Mitigation Measures Every. public improvement project should be analyzed on a case- by case basis in accordance with the Huntington Beach General Plan and CEQA regulations to insure protection of any cultural resources. Level of Significance After Mitigation Measures Insignificant H. AESTHETIC RESOURCES ` Impacts All long term impacts to the Project Area's aesthetic resources will be positive in nature. Existing deficiencies in the • Project Area's visual quality will be lessened due to the implementation of the related public improvement projects as 6 described within this document. However, short term impacts could occur as the result of construction activities related to the proposed public improvements. Mitigation Measures The proposed public improvement projects are considered to be mitigation measures which would alleviate existing aesthetic deficiencies. No negative impacts upon future aesthetic resources are expected to occur as a result of Project implementation. Level of Significance-After Mitigation Measures Insignificant I. EARTH RESOURCES . Impacts The proposed Project would not directly generate any significant negative impacts upon earth resources within the Project Area or its surrounding environs. The related improvement projects represent positive impacts upon existing and future structures and supportive infrastructure within the Project Area. However, certain conditions relative to the Project Area's regional location leaves it vulnerable to certain natural hazards. These include both seismic hazards, as well as non-seismic hazards such as soil expansion and flooding. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures are recommended: (1) when necessary as determined by the Lead Agency, specific soil reports and geotechnical investigations should be prepared, to the appropriate degree of specificity, prior to specific project 7 approvals; (2) all public improvement projects shall be in accordance with the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance; and (3) compliance with all Uniform Building Code (UBC) standards. Level of Significance After Mitigation Measures Insignificant J. BIOTIC RESOURCES Impacts No significant negative impacts will result to Project Area biotic resources. Mitigation Measures No mitigation measures are necessary. K. ENERGY Impacts No significant negative impacts will result due to Project implementation. The Project Area will consume energy at rates consistent with growth predictions and allowances of the affected energy purveyors. Mitigation Measures No mitigation measures are necessary. 8 L. PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY • Impacts All significant long term impacts on public health and safety are positive in nature. The proposed public improvement projects will serve to lessen and/or eliminate existing deficiencies, such as roadway infrastructure and utility pipelines. Negative short term impacts are related to the construction of various proposed public improvement projects. Mitigation Measures Use of standard safety precautions employed during project construction phases where public safety is a concern are recommended to lessen short term construction hazards. Level of Significance After Mitigation • Insignificant M. PUBLIC SERVICES AND UTILITIES Impacts The following significant impacts could occur as a result of Project implementation: (1) increased demand upon water distribution facilities; (2) increased demand upon sewer trunklines and treatment plant facilities; (3) increased demand on storm drainage facilities; (4) increased. demand on solid waste disposal facilities; (5) increased demand upon police and fire services; (6) potential for increased school enrollment; (7) increased demand on public utilities; and (8) increased demand on recreational facilities. 9 Mitigation Measures • 1. The proposed public improvement projects would directly eliminate, and/or provide for the elimination of, existing Project Area deficiencies. Such improvements include, but are not limited to: (1) construction of new and/or rehabilitated public facilities including roads, infrastructure, and landscaping; (2) development of additional park and recreation space; and (3) provisions for low and moderate income housing. 2. All proposals for growth accommodating projects shall be reviewed by the Lead Agency, in accordance with this document and the CEQA process, to determine the need for, and the extent of, specific project environmental impact analysis. 3. In the event such analyses are conducted and said analyses • show evidence of significant environmental impacts to existing public services and facilities, appropriate mitigations shall be incorporated into such project. 4. Water distribution system expansion/improvement projects shall precede or be concurrent with all growth accommodating projects, as necessary to comply with Mitigation Measures 2. and 3. above. Level of Significance After Mitigation Insignificant SUMMARY OF PROJECT ALTERNATIVES Alternatives to the proposed Amendment No. One to the Oakview • Redevelopment- Project include: (1) the no project alternative; (2) alternative Project Area sizes; (3) limited redevelopment 10 activities; and (4) alternative methods of financing. • The no project alternative would require that the redevelopment plan amendment action initiated by the Redevelopment Agency be terminated. This alternative would, for an indeterminable period of time, prevent many of the potential side effects that could be generated from the proposed redevelopment projects, such as incremental traffic increases, noise generation, air contamination, public safety liabilities, and energy consumption. However, this alternative would leave the Project Area without sufficient funds to alleviate and reverse existing deficiencies, such as circulation deficiencies, property and structural maintenance neglect, obsolete buildings and site design, economic stagnation, and numerous other deficiencies. The alternative project area size presents a hypothetical expansion of the Project Area to include all properties north of Slater Avenue and west of Beach Boulevard not presently within the Project Area. In terms of environmental impacts, the expanded Project Area and the public improvements associated with a larger Project Area could result in proportionately larger impacts. Although resulting impacts may be mitigatable to a level of insignificance, it is not necessary to add more land to the Project Area to meet the objectives of the proposed Project. The limited redevelopment activities alternative would require the reduction of Agency activities and/or authority within the proposed Project Area. Such a limitation would reduce the liklihood that the needed improvements and facilities would be provided. The fourth alternative is the alternative methods of financing. Financing alternatives might include Industrial Development and Mortgage Revenue Bonds, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, Economic Development Administration (EDA) funds, Assessment Districts, and other County, State, and Federal 11 assistance and funding programs. Although each of these programs may be used as a supplement to tax increment financing, each has inherent disadvantages and reliance on any of these sources as a sole financing tool, to a large degree, is not considered feasible. Therefore, use of this alternative would allow existing conditions of deficiency, which negatively affect the proper utilization of the proposed Project Area, to continue without a substantial means of abatement. SUMMARY OF ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED BY THE LEAD AGENCY As the Lead Agency for the proposed Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project, the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency will be required to resolve a number of complex issues that may affect the proposed Project Area, the City of Huntington Beach, and Orange County. How the Agency resolves the following issues, and others as they are brought forth, will determine the long term impacts of the proposed Project upon local and regional resources. The issues that have been identified which the Agency must resolve are as follows: 1.. The Agency must determine the applicability/effectiveness of .the Project Alternatives as described in detail within Section 3.0 of this Report. 2. The Agency must determine whether or not implementation of the proposed Project is an appropriate mitigation in and of itself for impacts generated as a result of Project implementation with regards to the following areas of concern: o Economic and Fiscal o Housing o Land Use o Aesthetic Resources 12 3. The Agency must determine whether or not the recommended mitigation measures included in Section 2.0 of this Report represent adequate and appropriate adoption of prerequisites to Project approval with regards to the following areas of concern: o Traffic and Circulation o Noise o Climate and Air Quality o Cultural Resources o Earth Resources o Public Health and Safety o Public Services and Utilities AREAS OF CONTROVERSY KNOWN TO THE LEAD AGENCY No issues of environmental concern are known to be controversial to the Lead Agency at this time. • 13 • SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACTS Level of Significance .

The determination that the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency is the Lead Agency -for this Project has been made in accordance with Sections 21083 and 21165 of the Public Resources Code. Section 21067 of the Public Resources Code defines "Lead Agency" as the public agency which has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project which may have significant effects upon the environment. For the analytical purposes of this document, the "Project" is the proposed Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project. According to the State EIR Guidelines, (Section 15180) , "all public and private activities or undertakings pursuant to or in furtherance of a redevelopment plan constitute a single project, which shall be deemed approved at the time of adoption of the Redevelopment Plan by the legislative body". It is recognized that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on a proposed redevelopment project is necessarily general in nature and cannot reflect detailed impacts of specific developments that may occur because the exact design, scope and location of such developments are generally not particularized at this time. It is for this reason that the State EIR Guidelines, Section 15180, state that "an EIR on a redevelopment plan shall be treated as a program EIR with no subsequent EIRs required for individual components of the redevelopment plan unless a . subsequent EIR or a supplement to an EIR would be required by Section 15162 or 15163. " 17 The State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15168, describe a "Program" • EIR as follows: "A program EIR is an EIR which may be prepared on a series of actions that can be characterized as one large project and are related either: (1) Geographically, (2) As logical parts in the chain of contemplated actions, (3) In connection with the issuance of rules, regulations, plans, or other general criteria to govern the conduct of a continuing program, or (4) As individual activities carried out under the same authorizing statutory or regulatory authority and having generally similar environmental effects which can be mitigated in similar ways. Use of a program EIR can provide the following advantages. The program EIR can: (1) Provide an occasion for a more exhaustive consideration of effects and alternatives than would be practical in an EIR on an individual action, (2) Ensure consideration of cumulative impacts that might be slighted in a case-by-case analysis, (3) Avoid duplicative reconsideration of basic policy considerations, • (4) Allow the Lead Agency to consider broad policy alternatives and program wide mitigation measures 18 at an early time when the agency has greater • flexibility to deal with basic problems or cumulative impacts, and (5) Allow reduction in paperwork. Subsequent activities in the program must be examined in the light of the program EIR to determine whether an additional environmental document must be prepared. (1) If a later activity would have effects that were not examined in the program EIR, a new Initial Study would need to be prepared leading to either an EIR or a Negative Declaration. (2) If the agency finds that, pursuant to Section 15162, no new effects could occur or no new mitigation measures would be required, the agency can approve the activity as being within the scope of the project covered by the program EIR, and no new environmental document would be required. (3) An agency shall incorporate feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the program EIR into subsequent actions in the program. (4) Where the subsequent activities involve site specific operations, the agency should use a written checklist or similar device to document the evaluation of the site and the activity to determine whether the environmental effects of the operation were covered in the program EIR. • (5) A -program EIR will be most helpful in dealing with subsequent activities if it deals with the 19 effects of the program as specifically and comprehensively as possible. With a good and detailed analysis of the program, many subsequent activities could be found to be within the scope of the project described in the program EIR, and no further environmental documents would be required. A program EIR can be used to simplify the task of preparing environmental documents for later parts of the program. The program EIR can: (1) Provide the basis in an Initial Study for determining whether the later activity may have any significant effects. (2) Be incorporated by reference to deal with regional influences, secondary effects, cumulative impacts, broad alternatives, and other factors that apply to the program as a whole. (3) Focus an EIR on a subsequent project to permit discussion solely of new effects which had not been considered before. When a law other than CEQA requires public notice or when the agency later proposes to carry out or approve an activity within the program and to rely on the program EIR for CEQA compliance, the notice of the activity shall include a statement that: (1) This activity is within the scope of the program approved earlier, and (2) The program EIR adequately describes the activity for the purposes of CEQA. " 20 The following is the discussion on the uses of the program • EIR by the California State Office of Planning and Research: "The program EIR can be used effectively with a decision to carry out a new governmental program or to adopt a new body of regulations in a regulatory program. The program EIR enables the agency to examine the overall effects of the proposed course of action and to take steps to avoid unnecessary adverse environmental effects. Use of the program EIR also enables the Lead Agency to characterize the overall program as the project being approved at that time. Following this approach when individual activities within the program are -proposed, the agency would be required to examine the individual activities in the program EIR. If the activities would have no effects beyond those analyzed in the program EIR, the agency could assert that the activities are merely part • of the program which'had _been approved earlier, and no further CEQA compliance would be required. This approach offers many possibilities for agencies to reduce their costsof CEQA compliance and still achieve high levels of environmental protection." The listing of proposed public improvements/projects are included. -:in Appendix A of this document. These projects are desired or possible activities of the Agency, not specifically budgeted or scheduled projects. These activities cannot be precisely scheduled due to the uncertainty of the amount and rate of future revenues available to the Agency. Specific designs will be prepared prior to the time the particular improvement is expected to be undertaken. As specific activities are designed and implemented, such activities shall be subject to an appropriate level of environmental review. 21 The present level of funding available to alleviate existing • deficiencies will not secure adequate or acceptable improvements in the areas of public safety or public services and facilities. The continued lack of adequate funding will result in continuing physical deterioration and economic malaise within the Project Area. The analytic approach taken in this EIR involves the comparison of the existing environmental conditions in the Project Area with the conditions that would exist after implementation of the amended Redevelopment Plan. Implementation of the amended Plan would cause impacts in two ways: (1) Through the actions directly undertaken by the Redevelopment. Agency such as the widening of streets to increase the traffic capacity of the Project Area; and • (2) Through the induced growth that will be facilitated by the actions of the Redevelopment Agency. The basic concept in the determination of the significance of any individual impact is that an impact is considered significant if the Agency's direct actions or the induced development causes some environmental standard to be exceeded. Such standards are those of the City of Huntington Beach, where applicable, or other appropriate standards as referenced in this EIR. For example, an increase in traffic flow is not significant unless the additional traffic, generated by Project implementation, causes the circulation system to exceed traffic flow standards. Unless the added volume exceeds an existing standard, the impact is not considered significant. This environmental carrying capacity approach which uses existing standards as limits of acceptable change is the basic method used in this EIR. • 22 1. 0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION • 1. 1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency is proposing the adoption of Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project and is preparing an amended Redevelopment Plan for the Project. The primary purpose of this Amendment is to increase the existing limitation on the total amount of tax increment which may be allocated to the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency pursuant to the provisions of Health and Safety Code Section 33670. The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency has initiated this Amendment because the existing limitation, which stipulates that the Agency may not collect more than $350,000 in tax increments during any one fiscal year, does not provide sufficient funding for the successful implementation of the Oakview Redevelopment Project. For more detailed information regarding the financing aspects of this Project, please refer to • Section 2. 1 Economic and Fiscal Impacts of this Report. This Amendment also involves •an upgrading of various elements in the original Redevelopment Plan, as adopted by Ordinance 2582 of the Huntington Beach City Council in November 1982, to meet the current standards of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Sections 33000 et seg. ) . The Amendment will not change the original Project Area boundaries, which totals approximately 68 acres, or the the original restrictions on eminent domain. This Amendment will also retain the 1982-1983 assessment roll as the base year assessment roll for the purpose of allocating taxes pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33670. 23 For many years the citizens and City officials of Huntington Beach have been aware of the adverse conditions within the Project Area. The conditions within the Area have contributed to the physical deterioration of structures and infrastructure, a lack of proper utilization of the area, a decline in the economic viability of the area, impaired investments, and social and economic maladjustment. The result has been a serious physical, social, and economic burden on the community which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting alone. The redevelopment of the Project Area would attain the purposes of the Community Redevelopment Law of the State of California. The area is badly in need of, and particularly suitable for, redevelopment under the provisions of the California Redevelopment statutes. The Project Area presently exhibits the following characteristics of blight: (1) structures exhibiting deferred maintenance; (2) inadequate flood control/drainage facilities; (3) inadequate water distribution facilities; and (4) lack of adequate street infrastructure. The conditions described above constitute a serious physical and economic liability requiring redevelopment. The Project will assist in the mitigation and/or removal of these stagnant and deteriorating conditions. The above described conditions will, for the remainder of this Report, be generally referred to as conditions of deficiency or blight. The intent of this amended Plan is to revitalize and upgrade the Project Area in accordance with the City's General Plan and all other applicable City, County, State and Federal laws, restrictions and guidelines, as well as to utilize existing underutilized parcels, increase sales and business tax revenues, . provide low- and moderate-income housing opportunities, improve 24 roadways, provide a high level of City services, create jobs for • area residents, assure social and economic stability, and promote aesthetic and environmental actions and improvements. The purposes of the California Community Redevelopment. Law would be achieved within the Project Area through the provision of housing programs; the installation, construction, reconstruction, redesign, or reuse of streets, utilities, curbs, gutters, sidewalks and other associated public improvements as permitted by the Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Ordinance; the assemblage of land into parcels suitable for modern integrated development with improved pedestrian and vehicular circulation; and the development and redevelopment of the Project Area in a manner consistent with the policies and goals of the Huntington Beach General Plan. The redevelopment of the Project Area will generally include, but will not be limited to, the actions outlined below. The Agency proposes to eliminate and prevent the spread of deficient conditions within the Project Area by the following actions: 1. Installation, construction, reconstruction, redesign, or reuse of streets, utilities, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, handicap ramps, and other public improvements as permitted in accordance with the Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Ordinance; 2. Construction and/or reconstruction of various flood control and storm drainage facilities; 3. Provision and/or upgrading of traffic signals, channelization, lighting and signing of various intersections, and correction of other existing circulation deficiencies within the Project Area; 4. Completion of various water system projects including the replacement, construction, and improvement-of water lines, 25 water storage and treatment facilities, and water meters in • order to provide adequate fire flows and domestic water supplies; 5. Undergrounding of utilities in the Project Area; 6. Improvement and development of recreational facilities for local residents; 7. Construction and improvement of public protection facilities, including police and fire facilities; 8. Construction and improvement of vehicle parking facilities 9. Improvement, as needed, of various utility distribution systems including electrical, gas and telephone; 10. Improvements to streetscapes and urban design; is11. Provisions for senior citizen, handicapped and low- and moderate-income housing; 12 . Purchase of land, construction, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of structures for the purpose of providing necessary community uses such as parking and recreational facilities, and other facilities. The above mentioned summary of major public improvements is not complete in that other public improvement projects may be proposed by the Agency. This does not include other anticipated Agency programs centered around structural rehabilitation, land write-down or development of affordable housing. A detailed list of proposed specific public improvements/projects is included in Appendix A of this EIR. • This Program EIR incorporates, by reference, the Preliminary Report for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment 26 Project, the Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project, and all elements of the City's General Plan, as per Section 15150(b) of the CEQA guidelines. The Preliminary Report contains detailed descriptions of the Project Area's existing social, economic, and physical deficiencies within the Project Area. Incorporation by reference allows for the reduction of repetitious paperwork and information, thereby expediting the CEQA process. Copies of these documents are available for public review at the Huntington Beach City Clerk's Office at 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648. 1.2 PROJECT LOCATION The Project Area in it's regional context is shown in Figure 1. The City of Huntington Beach is located in northwestern Orange County, approximately 30 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. The specific location and boundaries of the approximately 68 acre Project Area is presented in Figure 2. The legal description of the Project Area is included in Appendix B of this EIR. 1.3 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING There is, generally, a poor visual quality throughout much of the Project Area. Impaired investments resulting in structures exhibiting deferred maintenance, lack of necessary street infrastructure (e.g. , curbs, gutters, sidewalks, lighting, etc. ) , and the lack of adequate water, sewer, and drainage facilities are major factors contributing to the Project Area's deficient conditions. The Project Area is characterized by a mediterranean climate experiencing moderate temperatures and comfortable humidities. The year round mean temperature is approximately 65 F with an • average maximum of 92 F and an average minimum of 42 F. 27 GLENDAL 134 GLENDORA 101 5 PASA EN A 21 ROSEMEAD 210 BEVERLY HILLS 10 COVINA WEST POMONA • LOS ANGELES 10 60 1 INGLEWOOD WHITTIER 57 1 LOS ANGELES COUNTY 40.5 r ORANGE COUNTY ---- o�A`�go of,14M,6 C 710 Fc♦Op PARAMOUNT �. 91 I FULLERTON � — 91 TORRANCE r 605 ANAHEIM J CYPRESS GARDEN 55 LONG GROVE RANCHO BEACH 22 PALOS VERDES J WESTMINSTER SANTA Loa Angeles Harbor ANA ® 5 Pacific Ocean HUNTINGTON BEACH 55 IRVINE NEWPORT BEACH \\ AMENDMENT NO.

TO THE ,AMENDMENT REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT N Project Area Map PROJECT AREA BOUNDARIES SCALE 0 200 400 feet Figure 2 Precipitation is primarily limited to a few storms occurring in the winter "wet" months (mainly November to March) . The average rainfall in the region is approximately 12 inches per year. Air quality within the Project Area is typical of the entire Los Angeles region, with ozone and total suspended particulates as the primary air pollution concerns. The City of Huntington Beach is located on a flat alluvial plain created by the Santa Ana River watershed. The Project Area is generally flat with no major relief. Elevations above sea level range from 20 to 40 feet. The entire Project Area is characterized by the Hueneme-Bolsa soil association, which is mainly found on flood plains and alluvial fans with elevations ranging from 5 to 350 feet. The soils of this association are usually poorly drained to somewhat poorly drained, and consist primarily of calcareous fine sandy loams, slit loams, and silty clay loams. This soil association is commonly used for urban development. The Project Area is in close proximity to the Newport-Inglewood and Whittier Faults, and is within an area that has moderate seismic shaking susceptibility. The potential for surface rupture, which is usually the result of a high magnitude earthquake, is not considered to be any greater for the Project Area than other parts of the County. There are no significant natural vegetation or wildlife habitats within the Project Area due to years of disturbance by urban uses. 1.4 PURPOSE AND INTENDED USE OF THIS DOCUMENT The purpose of this Program EIR is to provide an accurate and concise information document that will inform local 30 decision-makers and the general public of the environmental • effects of the proposed Project. The report discusses the existing environmental conditions of the Project Area, the potential significant impacts of the Project on the environment, evaluates alternatives to the Project and identifies measures for reducing or avoiding significant adverse impacts. In addition, comments solicited from local agencies and organizations during the preparation of the report are included in Appendix D of this Report. The Program EIR is intended for use by the general public, officials of the City of Huntington Beach, and other interested agencies wishing to evaluate the environmental effects of the proposed Project. It is designed to be a full disclosure document that will accompany the proposed Project throughout the review process. • The following agencies will be responsible for review of the proposed Project: 1) Huntington Beach Planning Commission: reviews Redevelopment Plan for conformance with General Plan and files its report and recommendation with the Redevelopment Agency; 2) Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency: sends its recommendation and Planning Commission recommendation on Redevelopment Plan to City Council for adoption; 3) Huntington Beach City Council: approves and adopts Redevelopment Plan by City Ordinance. The following is a list of Agencies that are expected to use the EIR in their review process: 31 City of Huntington Beach City Council Redevelopment Agency Planning Department Public Works Department City Administrator City Clerk City Attorney City Police Chief Lead Agency Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency Regional Agencies Metropolitan Water District Municipal Water District of Orange County County Department of Public Works Orange County Flood Control District Orange County Library District Orange County Planning Department Orange County Department of Education Orange County Harbors, Beaches, and Parks Orange County Vector Control Orange County Transit District Orange County Cemetary District Orange County Water District Orange County Sanitation Districts Orange County Tax Collector Orange County Assessor Orange County Auditor/Controller Orange County Administrative Office Ocean View Elementary School District Huntington Beach Union High School District 32 Coast Community College District Southern California Edison Company (Private) Southern California Gas Company (Private) General Telephone (Private) California State Agencies Department of Transportation Regional Water Quality Control Board Air Resources Agency Department of Conservation Department of Water Resources Department of Fish and Game In the event that Amendment No. - One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project is adopted by the Huntington Beach City Council, this EIR is intended to serve as a Program EIR for use in analyzing the impacts of specific projects undertaken pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan. As a, program EIR, lacking specific details about the location, timing or physical characteristics of specific development that may be induced over the life of the Project, it is appropriate to address the Project's growth accommodating effects at this time through primary reliance on the types of environmental analysis prepared for the General Plan and other regional planning documents. Whenever necessary, subsequent environmental documentation will be based upon this EIR as a source of information about the environmental setting and the impacts of subsequent projects. - Future environmental documents will be tiered from this EIR as described in Section 15152 of the State EIR Guidelines. 33 2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS 2 . 1 ECONOMIC AND FISCAL IMPACTS A. Existing Conditions The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency is presently receiving tax increment revenues from the Project Area since adoption of the original Redevelopment Plan by the City Council in 1982. Upon adoption of the amended Redevelopment Plan, and provided the Agency can show evidence of incurring debt, the amended Plan will permit greater tax increment revenues to flow to the Redevelopment Agency over the life of this amended Plan. The Agency intends to use tax increment financing as its primary source of revenue. Tax increment financing is a procedure whereby property tax revenue from certain areas is used to pay the cost of redeveloping those areas. As a financing tool, tax increment financing has been available to cities and counties in California since 1952. The basic authority for cities and counties to establish redevelopment projects is provided for- in the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Sections 33000 et. seq. ) . Tax increment financing is the funding mechanism that makes many redevelopment activities feasible. Various provisions contained within the Health and Safety Code pertain to the financing of redevelopment projects. These provisions permit the Agency to borrow money, allow a city or county to advance funds, and authorize the issuance of bonds for redevelopment purposes. The principal provision authorizing tax increment financing is contained in Section 33670 of the Health and Safety Code. This provision implements Article XVI, Section 16 of the California • 34 Constitution which permits the Legislature to provide, in a • specific way, for the allocation of property taxes for purposes of financing local redevelopment activities. The authority contained in Section 33670 makes most projects economically feasible in that it freezes the assessed value within the Project Area at the time the redevelopment plan is adopted and provides that any property tax revenue produced by an increase in assessed value over the frozen base may be utilized by the Agency to repay indebtedness it incurs in conjunction with redevelopment of the Project Area. When all indebtedness is repaid, all tax increment generated thereafter is redistributed to the respective taxing agencies in the same manner as taxes on all other property are paid. The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency has the authority to undertake redevelopment projects pursuant to the provisions of the California Community Redevelopment Law for .the amended Redevelopment Project. 'In addition to establishing the procedures for the conduct of redevelopment activities, the • amended Redevelopment Plan provides for a method of producing revenues that may be used to reimburse the Redevelopment Agency for costs incurred on behalf of, or for the benefit of, the Project. This financing method includes the repayment of direct Agency indebtedness or advances to the Agency by another public entity either in the form of cash or benefiting public improvement. Specific Financing Authorization of the Redevelopment Plan Upon adoption of the Redevelopment Plan by the City Council, the Agency will be authorized to finance this Project with financial or other assistance from any public or private sources including, but not limited to, the City of Huntington Beach, County of Orange, State of California, Federal government, property tax increment, interest income, Agency notes and bonds, or any other available source, for the Agency's activities, powers, and duties to implement this Plan pursuant to and in 35 accordance with Part 1, Chapter 6, Articles 1 through 6 of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Sections 33600 et. seq. ) . The City of Huntington Beach may appropriate to the Agency such financial assistance as may be deemed necessary for administration expenses and overhead of the Redevelopment Agency. Such capital funds may be paid to the Agency as a grant to defray such expenses, or may be provided to the Agency as a loan until adequate tax increments or other funds are available to repay the loans or are sufficiently assured to permit borrowing adequate working capital from sources other than the City. Administrative expenses may include, but are not limited to, expenses for redevelopment planning and dissemination of redevelopment information. The Agency may borrow money (by the issuance of bonds or otherwise) or accept financial. or other assistance from any private lending institution and may execute trust deeds or mortgages on any real or personal property owned or acquired by the Agency. For the purpose of establishing redevelopment revenue, the Agency will be authorized to issue and sell bonds, if needed and feasible, in an amount sufficient to finance the projects. The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency will be authorized to obtain advances, borrow funds, and create indebtedness and other obligations in carrying out this Plan. The principal and interest on such advances, funds, indebtedness and other obligations may be paid from tax increment or any other funds available to the Agency. The Agency will be able to invest any money held in reserves or sinking funds, or any money not required for immediate disbursement, in property or securities, in which savings and/or banks may legally invest money subject to their control. That portion of tax funding mentioned herein may be irrevocably pledged by the Agency for payment of the principal and interest 36 on money advances, loans, or any indebtedness (whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise) by the Agency to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, the Redevelopment Project. The Agency will be able to make such pledges as to specific advances, loans, indebtedness, and other obligations as appropriate, in carrying out the Project. The Agency will be authorized to issue bonds on which the principal and interest are payable, in whole or in part, from sales and use taxes imposed pursuant to the applicable sections of the California Revenue and Taxation Codes. The Agency is required to adopt an annual budget containing specific information identifying the proposed expenditures of the Agency, the proposed indebtedness to be incurred by the Agency, and the anticipated revenues of the Agency. The annual budget may be amended from time to time as determined by the Agency. All expenditures and indebtedness of the Agency shall be in conformity with the adopted or amended budget. The adopted budget shall create an indebtedness of the Agency. As used herein, the word "taxes" shall include, without limitation, all levies on an ad valorem basis upon/or against real property. As used herein, the words "sales and use taxes" shall include, without limitation, all levies on tangible personal property, with specific exemptions, as set forth in the California Revenue and Taxation Codes. All taxes paid upon taxable property within the Project Area each year, by or for the benefit of the State of California, County of Orange, any district, or other public corporation (hereinafter sometimes called "taxing agencies") after the effective date of the ordinance or amendments thereto approving the Plan, shall be divided as follows: 1. That portion of the taxes which would be produced by the rate upon which the tax is levied each year by, or for, each of the taxing agencies upon the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable property in the 37 Redevelopment Project Area (as shown upon the assessment roll used in connection with the taxation of such property by such taxing agency) last equalized prior to the effective date of such ordinance, shall be allocated to, and when collected shall be paid into, the funds of the respective taxing agencies on all other properties paid. For the purpose of allocating taxes levied by, or for any taxing agency or agencies which did not include the territory of the Redevelopment Project on the effective date of such ordinance but to which such territory has been annexed or otherwise included after such effective date, the assessment roll of the County of Orange last equalized on the effective date of said ordinance shall be used in determining the assessed valuation of the taxable property in the project on the effective date; and 2. That portion of said levied taxes each year in excess of such amount shall be allocated to, and when collected shall be paid into, a special fund of the. Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency to pay the principal of, and interest on, loans, monies advanced, or indebtedness (whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise) incurred by the Agency to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, this Redevelopment Project. Unless and until the total assessed valuation of the taxable property in the Redevelopment Project exceeds the total assessed value of the taxable property in such Project as shown by the last equalized assessment roll referred to in Paragraph 1 hereof, all of the taxes levied and collected upon the taxable property in the Project shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies. when said loans, advances, and indebtedness, if any, and interest thereon, have been paid, all monies thereafter received from taxes upon the taxable property in the Project shall be paid into the funds 38 of the respective taxing agencies as taxes on all other property are paid. The portion of taxes mentioned in Paragraph 2 may be irrevocably pledged by the Agency for the payment of the principal and interest on money advances, loans, or any indebtedness (whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise) by the Agency to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, the proposed Project. The Agency is authorized to make such pledges as to specific advances, loans, indebtedness, and other obligations as appropriate, in carrying out the Project. 3. Except as otherwise provided in Health and Safety Code Section 33334.2, not less than twenty percent (20%) of all tax increment which is allocated to the Agency shall be used by the Agency for the purposes of increasing and improving the community's supply of housing for persons and families of low- or • moderate-income, and very low-income households. The funds which are required to be used for the purpose of increasing the community's supply of housing for persons and families of low- or moderate-income shall be held in a separate Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Fund until used. Any interest earned by the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Fund shall accrue to the fund and may only be used in the manner prescribed in this Section. The expenditures or obligations incurred by the Agency pursuant to these provisions shall constitute an indebtedness of the Project and Agency. The Agency shall file a statement of indebtedness with the County of Orange annually, after which the County shall allocate and pay the portion of taxes herein set forth. The statement of • indebtedness shall be prima facie evidence of the indebtedness of the Agency. 39 The provisions and requirements set forth in the amended Plan will implement and fulfill the intent of the California Community Redevelopment Law and of Article XIII B and Section 16 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. The allocation and payment of the portion of taxes specified herein for the purpose of paying principal of, or interest on, loans, advances, or indebtedness incurred for a redevelopment activity as prescribed by law shall not be deemed the receipt by the Agency of proceeds of taxes levied by, or on behalf of, the Agency within the meaning or for the purpose of Article XIII B of the California Constitution, nor shall such portion of taxes be deemed receipt of proceeds of taxes by, or an appropriation subject to limitation of., any other public body within the meaning or for purposes of Article XIII B of the California Constitution or any statutory provision enacted in implementation of Article XIII B. The allocation and payment to the Agency of such portion of taxes shall not be deemed the appropriation by the Agency meaning or for purposes of Article XIII B of the California Constitution. Any other loans, grants, or financial assistance -from the United States government or any other public or private source may be utilized, if available. The Agency will be authorized to undertake the rights and authorities as are set forth in Part 1, Chapter 6, Article 5 of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Section 33640 et. seq. ) . Direct Agency activity in relation to property owner improvements, rehabilitation loans and related assistance to property owners will occur throughout the Project Areal, but only if and when sufficient tax increments or other financing is available to permit orderly funding of planned activities. The Agency will generally incur such Project costs only after binding commitments, such as owner participation agreements, 40 have first been entered into defining the use of the property and only if rehabilitation or redevelopment of the property involved is assured within a reasonable period of time. It is acknowledged that the major source of revenue to pay project costs will be from tax increment revenue generated as a result of the improvement and redevelopment of the Project Area. Agency bonds will be issued if needed and feasible for financing all or any portion of the Project costs. If such bonds are issued, the principal and interest could be paid from tax increments or project revenues available to the Agency for that purpose. The Agency, in cooperation with the City and private property owners within the Project Area may participate in the issuance of other bond vehicles for financing all or any portion of the Project costs. If such bonds are issued, the principal and interest will be paid -from revenue sources appropriate to those vehicles. Only if and when working capital is available would costs be incurred and funds expended on behalf of the Project. At such time as working capital is obtained and as necessary to bring about specifically contemplated redevelopment activity within a reasonable period of time, the Agency will incur necessary Project costs. The Agency can also use the tax increment funds to pay or reimburse public entities for the cost of certain public improvements installed after the amended Redevelopment Plan has been adopted. Reason for the Allocation of Taxes Pursuant to Section 33670 Redevelopment of the Project Area requires a coordinated effort of public and private investment in order to accomplish the required improvements and to alleviate and/or eliminate the negative physical, social and economic conditions within the affected Project Area. In evaluating the necessity for public investment, it is necessary to review three primary 41 beneficiaries of the Redevelopment Project. First, property owners/developers will pursue further investment in the Project Area if an acceptable return on equity can be attained on an annual basis. Second, the City's/Agency's financing participation should reflect both a monetary return to the City/Agency as well as result in enhancement and improvement of the physical, social, and economic setting of the City. Third, the Project Area in general should benefit from the public improvements and redevelopment activities, in that adverse conditions will be mitigated, and the goals and objectives of the City's General Plan will be fulfilled. Limited revenue sources are available through City, County, State, or Federal programs to fund the required public redevelopment projects. Further, private financing vehicles and/or mechanisms (i.e. assessment districts) to raise said participation portion applied to .currently developed private properties within or surrounding the Project Area may have financial implications on private property owners and tenants. B. Impacts Any environmental impacts resulting from this Project's financial impact to any affected school districts or taxing entity are discussed under the Impacts Sections located throughout this EIR. When redevelopment activities are successful, the property values within, as well as around, the Project Area will increase, and therefore the assessed value of the property will be increased. The higher taxes resulting from the sale of property will reflect a rise in property values, not an increase in tax rates. The changed image of deficient areas and an improved economic base will increase the marketability of property in the Project Area. 42 The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency does not set tax • rates; this has been pre-established by the passage of Proposition 13 . Taxing agencies such as the County and special districts can only raise their proportionate share of the one percent assessed valuation tax rate by a two-thirds majority approval of the affected voters, in which case all property within the subject boundaries, including the Project Area, will be taxed at a higher rate. The taxes collected by the County Tax Collector based upon the one percent assessed valuation tax rate are placed in a distribution "pool" for all of the various agencies and entities authorized to receive property taxes. These agencies and entities will not lose any money allocated for their proportionate share prior to the adoption of the amended Redevelopment Plan. For example, if a taxing entity presently receiving a proportionate share of $100 million, they will continue to receive that same proportionate share of $100 • million as long as the assessed valuation of the taxable area remains constant or rises. At the end of the Redevelopment Plan term, the taxing agencies will receive their proportionate share of :tax revenues based on the new, higher assessed value in the Redevelopment Project Area. The tax increment which was flowing to the Redevelopment Agency will now be redistributed to all affected taxing agencies. Thus, over time, the affected taxing agencies will realize the revenue benefits of the redeveloped and revitalized Project Area. While it may be true that in the short term the affected taxing agencies lose the tax revenue above the base value, these agencies do gain the long term benefit of a higher assessed valuation in the Project Area which may not have occurred without the efforts of redevelopment or the catalyst of • reinvestment of these revenues into the Project Area. It is acknowledged that the redistribution of tax dollars from the 43 various affected taxing agencies to the Redevelopment Agency may • have an impact on the revenue flow to the affected taxing agencies. To determine the fiscal impacts upon the affected taxing agencies, the Redevelopment Law requires fiscal consultations between the redevelopment agency and all affected taxing agencies. The Redevelopment Law also allows for the creation of a fiscal review committee, comprised of all affected taxing agencies, to review the potential fiscal impacts of the proposed redevelopment plan. At the time of adoption of the amended Redevelopment Plan, the Huntington Beach City Council must adopt an ordinance pursuant to Section 33367 of the Health and Safety Code which in part states: The effect of tax increment financing will not cause significant financial burden or detriment on any taxing agency deriving revenues from a project area. This finding shall only be required when the project is financed in part or in whole from revenues derived from the allocation of taxes pursuant to Section 33670. Financial detriment or burden is defined in Section 33012 of the Redevelopment Law as meaning either of the following: (a) A net increase in the quality or quantity of a service of the affected taxing entity caused by the redevelopment project; or (b) A loss of property tax revenues by the affected taxing entity produced by a change of ownership or new construction which would have been received, or was reasonably expected to have been received, by the . taxing entity if the redevelopment project was not established. 44 The division of taxes pursuant to Section 33670, by itself, shall not constitute a financial burden or detriment. The determination of financial burden or detriment, and the subsequent mitigation measures, may be a _point of discussion of a fiscal review committee created pursuant to Section 33353 of the Health and Safety Code. This discussion may occur pursuant to Section 33353.5 of the Health and Safety Code which states: "In the event a fiscal review committee is created pursuant to Section 33353, the fiscal review committee shall analyze and report to the Agency, within 30 days of the conclusion of the hearing held pursuant to Section 33353.4, on the fiscal impact of the redevelopment plan or the amendment to the redevelopment plan on each of the members of the fiscal review committee, including a determination whether the redevelopment plan or amendment will have either a beneficial effect or a financial burden or detriment upon one or more members of the fiscal review committee. This analysis shall be based upon all of the following information: (1) The preliminary report prepared pursuant to Section 33344.5. (2) The redevelopment plan or amendment. (3) The draft environmental impact report prepared pursuant to Section 33333.3. (4) Information derived from the consultations between the agency and fiscal review committee pursuant to Section 33353.4. (5) Information derived from the hearing held by the fiscal review committee pursuant to Section 33353.4. 45 (6) The report prepared pursuant to Section 33328. (7) Any additional information developed by the fiscal review committee. (b) If the report of the fiscal review committee concludes that the redevelopment plan will cause a financial burden or detriment upon one or more members of the fiscal review committee, the report shall specifically describe that fiscal burden or detriment and shall contain evidence supporting that conclusion. (c) If the report of the fiscal review- committee concludes that the redevelopment plan will cause a financial burden or detriment upon one or more members of the fiscal review committee, the report may include recommended actions to be implemented by the Agency which would alleviate or eliminate the financial burden or detriment, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) Amendments to the redevelopment plan which would: (A) Modify the total amount of tax increments to be received by the redevelopment agency. (B) Modify the duration of the redevelopment plan. (C) Modify the size of the project area. (D) Modify, in kind or number, specific projects then proposed to be undertaken by the agency. (E) Include specific actions or projects to be undertaken by the agency which would reduce or eliminate the detrimental fiscal effect upon the members of the fiscal review committee. 46 (2) Payments by the agency to a member of the fiscal review committee authorized by Section 33401. 11 Although the mitigation measures generally stated in Section 33353 .5 are advisory, the provision relative to school and community college districts are mandatory, as set forth in Section 33676(a) of the Health and Safety Code: (a) "Prior to the adoption by the legislative body of a redevelopment plan providing for tax increment financing pursuant to Section 33670, and unless an agreement is entered into or payments are otherwise distributed by the agency in accordance with Section 33401, an affected taxing agency may elect, and every school and community college district shall elect, to be allocated, in addition to the portion of taxes allocated to the affected taxing agency pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670, all or any portion of the tax revenues allocated to the agency pursuant • to subdivision (b) of Section 33670 attributable to one or both of the following: (1) Increases in the rate of tax imposed for the benefit of the taxing agency which levy occurs after the tax year in which the ordinance adopting the redevelopment plan becomes effective. (2) Increases in the assessed value of the taxable property in the redevelopment project area, as the assessed value is established by the assessment roll last equalized prior to the effective date of the ordinance adopting the redevelopment plan pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670, which are, or otherwise would be, i 47 calculated annually pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 110. 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. " The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency has the authority to enter into particular agreements and arrangements with affected taxing agencies who can show severe financial burden or detriment which is caused through redevelopment of the Project Area. This arrangement can include the redistribution of tax increment, the construction of improvements for the taxing agency, and other cooperative projects between the taxing agency and the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency. Section 33401 of the Health and Safety Code states that the Agency may also pay to any taxing agency with territory located within a project area other than the community which has adopted the project, any amounts of money which the Agency has found are necessary and appropriate to alleviate any financial burden or detriment caused to any taxing agency by a redevelopment project. The payments to a taxing agency in any single year shall not exceed the amount of property tax revenues which would have been received by that taxing agency if all the property tax revenues from the project area had been allocated to all the affected taxing agencies without regard to the division of taxes required by Health and Safety Code Section 33670, except that a greater payment may be established by agreement between the Agency and one or more taxing agencies, except a school district, if the other taxing agencies agree to defer payments for one or more years in order to accomplish the purposes of the project at an earlier time than would otherwise be the case. The amount of any such greater payments shall not exceed the amount of payment deferred. The. payments shall be approved by a resolution, adopted by the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency, which shall contain findings, supported by substantial evidence, that the Redevelopment Project will cause or has 48 caused a financial burden or detriment to the taxing agency and that the payments are necessary to alleviate the financial burden or detriment. As used herein, "affected taxing agency" means and includes every public agency for the benefit of which a tax is levied upon property in the Project Area, whether levied by the public agency or on its behalf by another public agency. The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency can only receive annual tax increment if it can show that it has created a debt which is an obligation of the Redevelopment Agency. Debt can be created by the sale of redevelopment bonds, the receipt of loans or advances of funds, the financial obligation to pay the cost of a project, or other obligations of law. The development process has been shown to have substantial long-term spin-off effects both within and outside Project Areas in the following ways: 1. Enhancing affordable housing opportunities 2. Stabilizing declining local revenues; 3 . Establishing a momentum for economic development outside the Project Area and creating accelerated property tax revenue cash flows; 4. Providing job opportunities and housing availability; and 5. Addressing required infrastructure improvements to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the community. The difficulty in any long term benefit analysis is the ability to accurately project and quantify these spin-off effects in 49 comparison to estimating the potential lost revenue to the taxing jurisdictions from the Project Area. C. Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures for environmental impacts resulting from any potential financial impacts of this Project to any affected school district or taxing entity are discussed in the specific Mitigation Measures Section of this EIR for that particular environmental impact. Project activities will lead to an improved economic base, which will increase marketability within the Project Area. Project activities will mitigate- existing conditions of deficiency, as described in the referenced Preliminary Report, and will be the catalyst for an increase in the assessed value of property within the Project Area. The short term economic impacts upon other taxing agencies are mitigated by the long term achievement • of the proposed improvements/projects for this amended Plan, as described in Appendix A, and the positive results of its implementation. Any financial burden or detriment, as defined in Health and Safety Code Secton 33012, to any affected taxing entity, as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 33353.2, that occurs as a result of this Project can be mitigated through the procedures specified in Health and Safety Code Sections 33401 and 33676. 2.2 POPULATION AND HOUSING A. Existing Conditions Population The 1980 U.S. Census reported a total population of 170,486 for the City of Huntington Beach. According to the California . Department of Finance, the total Citywide population is now at 187,740 as of January 1988. Therefore, the City's population 50 has grown 10. 1% from 1980 to 1988, which translates into an • average annual growth rate of 1. 3%. The steady growth in population experienced by Huntington Beach in recent years has put increased pressure on Huntington Beach's public services and facilities. As Huntington Beach's population continues to expand throughout the City, there will be greater pressure to improve and expand upon the infrastructure facilities within the Project Area. The current residential population of the Project Area is estimated to be 1,620 persons. This figure was calculated by multiplying the total number of residential units for all single and multi-family structures (592 dwelling units) by the average household size of 2.736 for the City of Huntington Beach, as reported by the Department of Finance (although the average Project Area household size is likely to be greater than the Citywide average, a more specific average for the Project Area is not presently available) . Since the population of the entire • City is 187,740, the Project Area contains approximately 0.86% of the Huntington Beach population. Housing A windshield survey was conducted in December 1988 by Urban Futures staff to determine the condition of structures in the Project Area. Only primary structures capable of containing a major land use activity were evaluated. Due to the nature of . the survey, the ratings were derived from a visual evaluation and do not represent a detailed building by building structural analysis. Each structure received one of four possible ratings. A structure was rated sound if it appeared well maintained and no physically blighting characteristics were evident. Structures displaying some degree of physical decline were rated either deficient, deteriorated, or dilapidated, depending upon the severity of the degeneration. The following is the general guideline for these ratings, which are derived from nationally accepted rating standards. 51 Sound: The structure is no more than 25 years old and has no • noticeable deficiencies in the structural condition of roof, walls, or foundation. It appears to have adequate plumbing and electrical service and is subject to a regular program of maintenance. Exterior walls and other surfaces are well painted and clean, and windows and doors are intact. Deficient: The structure could be older than 25 years, however, has been maintained adequately to eliminate any major structural defects. It may show signs of deferred maintenance such as peeling paint, broken windows, or cracked plaster. The roof may show signs of minor water leaks. Deteriorated: The structure shows signs of structural deterioration such as sagging roof or walls or crumbling foundation. It may appear to have leaky plumbing or hazardous electrical service illustrated by exposed wiring, and holes may be apparent in roof or walls. Paint may be largely peeled or faded or even nonexistent, and broken windows are often apparent. Dilapidated: The building is structurally unsound and maintenance is nonexistent. Its fitness for human occupation is highly questionable and the state of deterioration and neglect is such that it is a candidate for demolition.

It can be generally stated that maintenance is irregular and such conditions as peeling paint, loose roof shingles, weathered facades, and cracked foundations are common. A total of 26. 02% of all structures are deteriorated such that these structures require substantial upgrading. The breakdown of this structural rating by existing land uses in presented in Table 2.

Obsolescence applies mainly to residential and commercial buildings where size, layout, and other design features are no longer suitable for current uses. The obsolescence of structures throughout the Project Area has important implications for identifying blight and justifying redevelopment. Residential structures throughout the Project Area are characterized by declining structural conditions due to the cumulative effects of age and deferred maintenance. Many Project Area structures which are over 25 years old have not 53 WARNER AVE. {yMY f. FIR ID 0: vv` ..... ............. ve-AMORE AVE 001. 1- �P BELSITO DR. UJ CYPRESS AVE MANDRELL DR KRISTIN CR.

These • findings are essential to the community since residential structures over 25 years in age are most likely to display. signs of deterioration resulting from deferred maintenance. The 4-plexes which characterize the southern portion of the Project Area are generally 25-30 years old and clearly display signs of age and neglect, such as weathered facades and cracked foundations. Many of the single. family structures in the northern portion of the Project Area, particularly on Sycamore Avenue, Cypress Avenue, Ash Street, and the northern portion of Oak Lane, are well over 25 years in age and display varying signs of advanced deterioration. In terms of obsolescence, the diminutive size and and inadequate setbacks characteristic of many single family structures in the northern portion of the Project Area severely impairs the ability of such structures to provide safe, sanitary, and decent housing for Project Area residents. These features negatively impact the functional usefulness of such residences, thereby accelerating their structural obsolescence. There are portions of the Project Area which are characterized by an incompatible mixture of residential and commercial land uses. Many patrons of the Charter Centre complex use local Project Area streets for access to the parking garage on Ash Street, and sometimes park on local streets such as Elm Street and Cypress Avenue. Residents adjacent to this commercial/office complex are therefore subjected to higher levels of noise, dust, air pollution, and visual impairments from non-resident vehicular use of local streets. Conversely, business owners and patrons of the Charter Centre are negatively impacted by the structural deterioration evident in many adjacent residences. The physical decline of these residential structures creates the potential for a negative experience due to the unattractive visual impacts of this neighborhood, and may discourage patrons from returning to the Charter Centre. 55 Structural rehabilitation and proper landscaping are needed to mitigate the negative visual impacts and provide some level of noise insulation. Conflicting mixtures of land uses and structures create a more difficult -and expensive need to establish mitigating measures to reduce and/or eliminate incompatibility. Mixed and incompatible uses negatively influence property values and the resultant quality of new developments. In many cases, maintenance of land and structures is neglected due to the negative physical, social, and economic atmosphere created by these conflicts. All of these factors interrelate and result in reduced tax revenue to the community, increased costs of public services (e.g. , police, fire) , and a decline in public services and facilities. B. Impacts Implementation of the Redevelopment Plan will not create any significant adverse impacts upon the Project Area, o; the City, • in terms of its population and housing characteristics. Since the Redevelopment Plan is intended to implement the City's General Plan, any growth in the community resulting from the Redevelopment Plan in terms of population or housing stock will be directly related to the goals and objectives of the General Plan and indirectly related to the Redevelopment Project. The proposed Project will not have a significant adverse effect on the socioeconomic environment but will serve to alleviate conditions of social and economic deficiencies, as decribed within the Preliminary Report, presently existing within the Project Area. Additionally, redevelopment of the Project Area will provide a catalyst for necessary revitalization and economic development of land within the Project Area and its adjacent environs. As a result, some population growth within the Project Area may occur. However, this growth will be consistent with the City's General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and 56 all other applicable City, County, State and Federal laws, regulations and guidelines. Implementation of the Project will generate a positive impact upon existing housing conditions within the Project Area and the City since the Project is a vehicle by which General Plan policies and programs relative to affordable housing programs can be initiated. The California Community Redevelopment Law requires that at least 20 percent of the tax increment generated by the Project be set aside for the purpose of meeting low- and moderate-income housing needs. The proposed Redevelopment Plan will result in an increase and improvement of the City's low- and moderate-income housing stock, and will also provide the funds to rehabilitate many existing homes currently suffering from deferred maintenance and other deficiencies. Any relocation resulting from Project implementation could also be a long-term positive impact in that the relocation efforts would result in improved housing for Project Area residents. However, since the Project is anticipated to generate a maximum of 100 new dwelling units throughout the life of the Plan, there will also be a greater selection of housing within the Project Area. The Project could also provide increased employment opportunities for both Project Area and Countywide residents. The proposed expansion of the Charter Centre commercial/office complex could, at maximum build-out, result in a seven story, 72, 000 square foot office building and a 5,000 square foot glass works shop incorporated into a four story parking garage with 266 spaces. It is anticipated that this proposed expansion could result in as many as 320 newly created permanent jobs in the Charter Centre. Therefore, any impacts to Project Area housing and employment opportunities resulting from Project implementation will be positive in nature. 57 C. Mitigation Measures The Redevelopment Plan proposes housing, community development and public facilities programs and economic development projects which are consistent with, and conform to, the City's General Plan. The proposed projects described in Appendix A are mitigation measures to existing deficiencies within the Project Area since these projects are intended to improve the social, economic and physical conditions within the Project Area and the City. As such, the Project will have a positive impact upon Project Area population and housing. While there may be some short-term impacts if the Agency institutes any relocation activities, these impacts will be mitigated by the Relocation Guidelines incorporated into the Redevelopment Plan. The creation of new jobs in the Project Area may have an impact on the local housing supply. However, this impact will be mitigated by the construction of new housing (up to maximum of 100 new dwelling units) proposed by this • Project. The present and future locations of all Project Area land uses and densities shall reflect those in the City's General Plan, as may be amended from time to time. No further mitigation measures are necessary. 2.3 TRAFFIC AND CIRCULATION A. Existing Conditions The Project Area contains portions of the following arterials: Beach Boulevard, Warner Avenue, and Slater Avenue (See Figure 4) . All other Project Area streets are considered to be local • 58 ------------------------- I FIR D z • J • • to • • • Q i • u• BELSITO DR. s W CYPRESS • • -40WEM-o' � h 1c � j •. . ,.... KRISTIN CR.

BEACH GENERAL PLAN Figure 4 streets (60 foot right-of-way) . As described in the Oakview Neighborhood Plan prepared by POD, Inc. , Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue are classified as major arterials (120 foot right-of-way) and Slater Avenue is considered a secondary arterial (80 foot right-of-way) . Beach Boulevard, which is also a State Highway under the jurisdiction of Caltrans, is the heaviest traveled street in the City. According to a 1981 traffic analysis prepared by Greer and Company for the construction of the Charter Centre complex, the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue had a Level of Service (LOS) of E, indicating generally unacceptable levels of congestion and delay (the LOS rating is a ratio of volume-to-capacity on an A to F scale, with A indicating low volumes and free flows, and F indicating traffic volumes which exceed street capacity) . It was estimated that the Charter Centre complex would generate an additional 10,225 daily weekday vehicle trips. In order to adequately serve this additional traffic, the traffic study recommended several street system improvements which would serve as mitigation measures to bring this intersection to its ultimate design and thereby increase its overall traffic capacity and improve its LOS to a D rating. The completion of these improvements allows sufficient capacity on these major arterials for both present traffic volumes and the volumes generated by ultimate General Plan build-out of the Project Area. The internal circulation system within the Project Area is considered to be an incomplete grid pattern which restricts access between the northern and southern portions of the Project Area (roughly divided by the east-west alley between Cypress Avenue and Mandrell Drive) . Although four Project Area streets intersect with Slater Avenue, only Queens Avenue enables passage to the northern section via Barton Drive to Koledo Lane to Mandrell Drive, which connects with both Oak Lane and Ash Street. The northern portion of the Project Area is considered 60 1 to be an incomplete grid system in that access to Beach • Boulevard is interrupted by the Charter Centre and access to Nichols Street (a north-south local street located west of the Project Area) is interrupted by the Oakview School and Community Center. Local streets in the northern portion of the Project Area service not only resident traffic flows, but also patrons of the Charter Centre utilizing the parking garage located at the northeast corner of Sycamore Avenue and Ash Street. Furthermore, due to the current traffic congestion at the intersection of Warner Avenue and Beach Boulevard, many motorists traveling east-bound on Warner Avenue who wish to turn south-bound on Beach Boulevard by-pass this intersection by taking Ash Street south-bound to Cypress Avenue east-bound to the Cypress/Beach intersection. This spill-over of through-traffic and the constant flow of Charter Centre patrons results in significantly heavier traffic volumes than normally experienced on local residential streets. In -addition to the heavy traffic volumes created by external pressures, many streets in the Project Area, particularly in the northern portion, are in substandard condition and require substantial improvements. Street widths range from the required 60 foot right-of-way for local streets down to only 20 feet of street pavement. These narrow streets are also characterized by deteriorating surfaces, incomplete lighting, and a lack of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks (See Figure 5) . Specifically, Sycamore Avenue is characterized by a lack of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, with the exception of the northern portion of the street adjacent to the Charter Centre parking garage. This street is very narrow and the surfacing is in a state of almost complete disintegration, particularly west of the Ash Street intersection. Street lighting on Sycamore Avenue is incomplete and inadequate. Ash Street north of Cypress Avenue is also very narrow and in a state of structural deterioration. This portion 61 r of Ash Street is lacking in curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, and • also does not have adequate street lighting. Cypress Avenue is a narrow and deteriorating street with curbs, gutters, and sidewalks provided on only a few properties. Oak Lane lacks curbs, gutters, and sidewalks along the east side of the street north of Cypress Avenue. Elm Street is also lacking curbs, gutters, and sidewalks north of Cypress Avenue, with the exception of the eastern portion which abuts the Holiday Spa structure, and has an incomplete provision of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks south of Cypress Avenue. Street surface cracking is also evident along Elm Street. Barton Drive is characterized by incomplete street lighting facilities. Jacquelyn Lane is characterized by cracked street pavements and cracked curbs. The substandard widths and surfaces of these streets, along with the spill-over impacts of through-traffic and Charter Centre patrons, impedes the successful flow of traffic and creates higher levels of noise, air pollution, and traffic delays. Emergency vehicles for fire, police, and health services are also negatively impacted by impaired road access due to narrow and congested streets. • 62 1111111111111IT � RAVE.

Both bus- routes -operate every day of the week. Bus .stops for :southbound_route 29 are located at the northwest corner of Warner Avenue and Beach Boulevard and at the southwest corner of Slater Avenue and Beach Boulevard. Bus stops for northbound route 29 are located at the southeast corner of Slater Avenue and Beach Boulevard and at the northeast corner of Warner Avenue and Beach Boulevard. Bus route 72 has an eastbound bus stop on the southwest corner of Warner Avenue and Beach Boulevard and a westbound bus stop at the northeast corner of Warner Avenue and Beach Boulevard. The bus transportation facilities and services appear to be adequate for present demands. The Orange 'County Transit District also provides Park-N-Ride bus route C along the I-405 Freeway from San Clemente to the Valley View Park-N-Ride facility. Air Transportation: Regional, national, and international air passenger service is provided by Los Angeles International Airport, Orange County Airport, Long Beach Airport, and Ontario Airport. The closest air transportation facility to the Project Area is Meadowlark Airport, located on the north side of Warner Avenue between Bolsa Chica Street and Graham Street approximately 2.5 miles west of the Project Area. This is a small private aviation facility, with no commercial shipping, that is scheduled to be permanently closed on September 1, 1989. 64 B. Impacts Long Term The adoption and implementation of the proposed Redevelopment Plan may result in general impacts upon the existing traffic and circulation system as described below. Due to the fact that a specific implementation schedule is not known at this time, the long term impacts of growth within the Project Area cannot be specifically quantified. However, all future development within the Project Area shall be in accordance with the Circulation Element of the Huntington Beach General Plan. Growth in the Project Area, resulting from Plan implementation, may result in the generation of additional vehicular movement.- The Project may result in alterations to the present patterns, circulation and movement. of vehicular traffic and pedestrians, both for the long term and the short term. The Project is not expected to impact existing parking facilities, but may create the need for new parking facilities due to the implementation of any projects which are growth accommodating in nature. The Project will not result in any long term impacts to existing transportation systems or circulation patterns. The Project is not expected to result in alterations to air, rail, or waterborne traffic circulation patterns. Short Term With respect to the short-term, there may be temporary traffic disruptions during the construction of necessary street and infrastructural improvements. The construction of necessary improvements needed to correct existing and future vehicular circulation deficiencies may alter the present patterns, circulation, and movement of vehicular traffic. However, the latter is considered a positive impact, in that such action corrects existing problems and increases roadway capacity for 65 additional future traffic volumes. Additionally, the Project may result in increased short term traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians during the construction phases. In some instances, there may be temporary traffic disruptions during the construction and/or repair of streets and related traffic control systems. C. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures are recommended as conditions of Project approval. 1. Most adverse impacts created by any increase in traffic volumes can be mitigated by implementation of the necessary street and circulation improvements as proposed by the Agency (see Appendix A) . However, any proposals for growth accommodating projects within the Project Area shall be reviewed by the Lead Agency, in accordance with this Program Environmental Impact Report, to assess the need for additional environmental impact analysis. 2. In the event an analysis is deemed necessary and said analysis shows evidence of significant negative impact to the existing circulation/transportation network, appropriate mitigation measures shall be incorporated into the project(s) prior to the project(s) development. 3. Coordinate any major changes in circulation patterns (e.g. , street additions) with the City of Huntington Beach Community Development Department, the California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) , and the Orange County Planning Department, as necessary. 4. Short term impacts to motorists and pedestrians shall be mitigated with the use of standard safety precautions • generally employed during project construction (e.g. , rerouting of traffic, use of flagmen, etc. ) . 66 2.4 NOISE A. Existing Conditions The ambient noise levels experienced throughout the Project Area are characteristic of an urbanized community which contains a mixture of residential and commercial land uses. Generally, these land uses tend to be quiet during night time hours and produce moderate levels of noise from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. , which are primarily generated from motor vehicles. Major sources of noise affecting the Project Area include Beach Boulevard, Warner Avenue, and Slater Avenue. Noise is made up of sound waves which can be absorbed, reflected or scattered through the atmosphere. The amount of sound reaching a receiver is affected by many factors such as atmospheric conditions, topography, barriers between the source and the receiver, the pitch, loudness, and number of sources • emitting sound. The loudness or intensity of sound waves is generally described in terms of a measurement system known as the decibel (db) . The decibel is simply the logarithm of the ratio of a particular sound pressure to a reference pressure, usually 0.0002 microbar. A microbar is about one-millionth of normal atmospheric pressure, which is 14.7 pounds per square inch in the English system. Therefore, .0002 microbar becomes 0 db and 200 microbars equals 120 db sound pressure level (SPL) according to the formula: SPL = 20 log (P/.Po) where P is the measured sound pressure and Po is 0.0002 microbars. On the decibel scale, a 10-fold increase in sound pressure results in a 20 db increase in the meter reading, and a 100-fold increase in sound pressure produces a 40 db increase.. It has been found that using frequency-weighted levels of • measurements correlate well with judgments in noisiness or annoyance of a sound. That frequency weighting is, in 67 acoustical terminology, called the A-frequency weighting or A-weighting. A-weighting reduces the pressure amplitude of the . low frequency components so that the overall loudness is rated at an equitable level. For the purpose of assuring compatibility between the long-term outdoor noise level and projected, or actual land uses, the measures of noise level referred to in this Report are either the A-weighted Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) , in decibels, or a time-average equivalent sound level, also in decibels. CNEL refers to the 24-hour average A-weighted sound level, in decibels, obtained after addition of five decibels to those sound levels occurring in the evening hours from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and ten decibels to those sound levels occurring in the 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. hours. Therefore, CNEL takes into account people's lower tolerance to noise during evening and night time periods. The CNEL measurement of noise levels has been adopted by the California Department of Aeronautics and the California Commission of Housing and Community Development. Comparatively, rail and aircraft operations, though infrequent, may generate high noise levels that can be disruptive to human activity. Aircraft noise appears to produce the greatest community anti-noise response, although the duration of the noise from a single airplane is much less, for example, than that from a freight train (See Figure 6) . Motor Vehicles: The most common mobile noise sources within, and directly adjacent to, the Project Area are transportation-related (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, railroads, and aircraft) . Motor vehicle noise is of concern because it is characterized by a high number of individual events, which often create a sustained noise level, and because of its proximity to areas sensitive to noise exposure.

However, railroads are more predictable than motor vehicles as a result of set time tables and a restricted course of travel (railroad tracks) . One additional impact generated by railroads is the vibrations experienced by persons in close proximity to the tracks. If the rail traffic moves through at approximately 50 mph, the • sound exposure levels range from 78 to 94 db(A) when measured at a distance of approximately 150 feet from the track. The 71 highest sound levels from locomotives occur for 5 to 10 seconds and the lesser sound of freight cars typically lasts 60 to 100 seconds depending on the length and speed of the train. The closest source of railroad noise to the Project Area is the Southern Pacific railroad track running north-south between Nichols Street and Gothard Street, approximately one-eighth of a mile west of the Project Area. Airports: Unlike the constant levels of highway generated noise sources, airport noise levels are also periodic in nature. The closest airport to the Project Area is Meadowlark Airport, located on the north side of Warner Avenue approximately 2.5 miles west of the Project Area. As this facility is scheduled to be permanently closed down in 1989, it is not considered a significant noise generator for the Project Area. Fixed Sources: Other noise sources in a community, such as industrial plants or construction sites, are often referred to as "fixed" sources. Industrial noise, generated by processing and manufacturing, is usually of long duration at relatively low frequencies. Construction noise sources (diesel engines, air compressors, electric motors, etc. ) generate noise for extended periods of time with intermittent high noise levels. Population noise represents the noise generated .by human activity in the community. Sources include air conditioners, lawn mowers, radio/stereo/television, sports arenas, schools and other entertainment and commercial activities. Noise sensitive land uses are defined as those specific land uses which have associated indoor and/or outdoor human activities that may be subject to stress and/or significant interference from noise produced by community sound sources. Such human activity typically occurs daily for continuous periods of 24 hours or is of such a nature that noise is significantly disruptive to activities that occur for shorter 72 periods. As shown in Table 4, noise sensitive land uses include: (1) residences of all types, (2) hospitals, (3) rest homes, (4) churches, and (5) schools.

Source: Urban Futures, Inc. , 1989 73 Figure 8, Land Use Compatibility for Community Noise • Environments, on the following page, presents land use compatibility for community noise environments. Definitions of the terms used in Figure 8 are as follows: Normally acceptable: The specified land use is satisfactory based on the assumption that any buildings involved are of normal conventional construction without any special noise insulation requirements. Conditionally acceptable: New construction or development should take place only after a detailed assessment of noise reduction requirements is made and necessary noise insulation features are included in the design. Conventional construction, but with closed windows and fresh air supply systems or air conditioning, will normally suffice. • Normally unacceptable: New construction or development should generally be discouraged. If new construction or development does proceed, a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements must be made and necessary noise insulation features must be included in the design. Clearly unacceptable: New construction or development should generally not be undertaken. Table 5 depicts major uses in terms of noise sensitivity. For each land use type, the total noise is classified in two severity ranges: greater than 65 decibels CNEL, and 60 to 65 decibels CNEL. Residential land use is the most sensitive because of the nature of activities which occur over a 24-hour period as well as the generally-accepted need for, and design incorporating, outdoor living areas. • 74 LAND USE COMPATIBILITY FOR COMMUNITY NOISE ENVIRONMENTS LAND USE CATEGORY COMMUNITY NOISE EXPOSURE,Ldn (IN DECIBELS) 55 60 RESIDENTIAL-LOW DENSITY: Single family Residential, duplex, mobilhome RESIDENTIAL-N16H DENSITY: Multiple family Residential TRANSIENT L0061N6: Motels, Hotels :•:::::::: INSTITUTIONAL-NOISE SENSITIVE: Schools, Hospitals, Nursing homes, libraries, Churches INSTITUTIONAL-NON NOISE SENSITIVE: Auditoriums, Theaters RECREATIONAL: Outdoor spectator sports •:•;:•• •:::::•::::•:::. activities, Sports arenas/ stadiums OUTDOOR RECREATION: Playgrounds, Neighborhood parks OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES: Golf courses, Riding stables,Water recreation, Cemeteries COMMERCIAL: Retail sales, Office buildings, Professional services, Commercial business INDUSTRIAL: Industrial, Manufacturing, • Utilities, Agricultural ® NORMALLY ACCEPTABLE CONDITIONALLY ACCEPTABLE NORMALLY UNACCEPTABLE .

An example would be Leq (12) where the equivalent sound level is the average over a specified 12-hour . period (such as 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ) . 77 B. Impacts Sho rt Term This type of noise is caused by short term construction _activities associated with public improvements undertaken by the Redevelopment Agency, or buildings constructed by private developers. Construction noise typically represents a short-term impact on ambient noise levels. Noise generated by construction equipment can often reach high, episodic levels. Bulldozers, concrete mixers, portable generators, backhoes, air guns and a variety of other equipment can create extremely high noise levels, but usually for short periods of time. Table 7 lists typical construction equipment noise levels. TABLE 7 TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT NOISE LEVELS Typical Sound Levels Construction Equipment at 50 Feet Generator 76 db(A) Pump 76 db(A) Portable Air Compressor 81 db(A) Concrete Mixer (Truck) 85 db(A) Pneumatic Tools 85 db(A) Backhoe 85 db(A) Bulldozer 87 db(A) Source: Environmental Protection Agency Long Term The second type of noise which could be generated by implementation of the Project involves long term increases in the ambient noise level of the Project Area and its surrounding environs. The Project is not expected to significantly increase long term noise levels within the Project Area since the proposed public improvements/projects primarily involve infrastructure and housing rehabilitation. Any new development . 78 occurring within the Project Area as a result of Project implementation would be in accordance with the Noise Element of the Huntington Beach General Plan, and as such, would not expose the Project Area to severe noise levels. C. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures are recommended as' conditions of Project approval. In order to minimize noise related impacts generated by future development and other redevelopment related activities, the following mitigation measures are recommended: 1. All subsequent redevelopment activities shall adhere to the policies and actions described in the Noise Element to the Huntington Beach General Plan. 2 . Any future developments generated through implementation of the proposed Project shall be allowed only in the areas as designated for that particular use by the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance to ensure land use noise . compatibility. 3. Building setbacks and noise .lbarriers, as required by the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, shall be used where appropriate in conjunction -with specific development proposals in the Project Area and in conformity with the City's Zoning Ordinance. 4. All construction activities shall be limited to daytime hours (7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ) . 5. Construction activity contracted by the Redevelopment Agency shall be monitored to ensure that U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Construction-Noise Specifications are met. 79 6. Certain Agency improvements will be constructed to lessen • existing ambient noise levels within the Project Area, including landscape plantings and the repair and repaving of poor street surfaces. 2.5 CLIMATE AND AIR QUALITY A. Existing Conditions Climate The climate of the Project Area, as with all of coastal Southern California, is controlled largely by the strength and position of the subtropical high pressure cell over the Pacific Ocean. The Project Area is characterized by a mediterranean climate experiencing moderate temperatures and comfortable humidities. The year round mean temperature is approximately 65 F with an . average maximum of 92 F and an average minimum of 42 F. • Precipitation is primarily limited to a few storms occurring in the winter "wet" months (mainly November to March) . The average rainfall in the region is approximately 12 inches per year. Winds in the Project Area are almost always driven by the dominant land/sea breeze circulation system. Regional wind patterns are dominated by daytime on-shore breezes. At night, the wind generally slows and reverses direction by traveling towards the sea. During the transition period from one wind pattern to the other, the dominant wind direction rotates into the south and causes a minor wind direction from the south. The frequency of calm winds (less than two miles per hour) is less than ten percent of all winds occurring in the ProjectArea. Santa Ana winds of moderate to strong force are not uncommon in the fall and winter months, and wind speeds exceeding .50 mph occur on rare occasions. • 80 Air Quality The Project Area is located within the South Coast Air Basin, which encompasses approximately 8, 630 square miles in Southern California (See Figure 9) . The closest air monitoring stations are located at 2310 Placentia Avenue in Costa Mesa, approximately 5 miles southeast of the Project, and at 5660 orangewood Avenue in Los Alamitos, approximately 6 miles northwest of the Project Area. The Project Area, as is typical for Southern California, frequently experiences temperature inversions which tend to inhibit the dispersion of pollutants. Inversions may be either ground based or elevated. Ground based inversions,- sometimes referred to as radiation inversions, are most severe during clear cold early winter mornings. Under the conditions of a ground based inversion, very little mixing or turbulence occurs, resulting in high concentrations of primary pollutants along • roadways. Elevated inversions act as a lid, or upper boundary, and restrict vertical mixing. Pollutant dispersion below the elevated inversion is not restricted. Mixing heights for elevated inversions are lower in the summer, which results in high levels of ozone during these months. The air quality of the South Coast Air Basin is determined by the primary pollutant emissions which occur daily and the secondary pollutants already present in the air mass. Secondary pollutants, such as oxidants (e.g. , ozone) , represent a regional air quality problem. Air quality in 'the Project Area is determined by the primary pollutants emitted locally, the existing regional ambient air quality, and the meteorological and topographical factors which influence the intrusion of pollutants into the area from pollutant producing sources outside of the immediate vicinity. 81 LOS ANGELES CO. -LTNEWHALL• • SAN BERNARDINO CO.

The National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) specifies a level not to be exceeded more than once per year or not to be exceeded at all in case of an annual standard. California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) also specifies levels not to be exceeded or equalled. The period to which the standards apply vary with each air pollutant, and several air pollutants are regulated over more than one time period. The primary standards are set to protect human health; secondary standards are designed to protect against damage to vegetation and materials.

Source: California Air Resources Board 84 The air monitoring station in Costa Mesa tests for the following pollutants: ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and .sulfur dioxide. The air monitoring station in Los Alamitos tests for ozone, sulfur dioxide, and total suspended particulates (which includes sulfate particulates, nitrate particulates, and other paticulate matter) . The following is a brief discussion on each of these pollutants: Photochemical Oxidant (Ozone) : The term "photochemical oxidant" (Ox) can include several different pollutants. This includes colorless, toxic gases, the most common of which are: 03 (more than 90 percent) ; formaldehyde (HCHO) ; peroxyacyle nitrate (CH3 CO OONO2) , commonly abbreviated PAN; and peroxybenzol nitrate (PBzN) . 03 is formed in the atmosphere when 03 precursors--reactive hydrocarbons (RHC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) --combine and react in the presence of sunlight. In Orange County, 03 precursors are usually carried by the prevailing winds. High 03 levels may therefore be found in areas 3 to 30 miles (5 to 50 kilometers) downwind of any significant emission source. Motor vehicles are the major source of emissions of NOx and RHC. The common effects of 03 are damage to vegetation and cracking of untreated rubber. Research indicates that important California crops produce less yield, mature more slowly, and suffer tissue damage when grown under smoggy conditions. Cotton produces obvious leaf markings and flowers may drop off resulting in fewer bolls per plant when exposed to ozone for prolonged periods. Fiber length and elasticity may also be affected. 03 in high concentrations can also directly affect human lungs, causing respiratory irritation and possible changes in lung function. The State and Federal 1-hour maximum levels established for 03 are 0. 10 parts per million (ppm) and 0.12 ppm, respectively. 85 CarbonMonoxide: CO is a colorless, odorless, toxic gas • produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon substances. CO concentrations are generally higher in the winter when meteorological conditions favor the buildup of air contaminants. Internal combustion engines, principally the automobile, produce CO from incomplete fuel combustion: Various industrial processes also produce CO emissions through incomplete combusion. In Southern California, gasoline powered motor vehicles are the largest source of this contaminant. CO does not irritate the respiratory tract, but passes through the lungs directly into the blood stream. It interferes with the transfer of fresh oxygen to the blood and deprives sensitive tissues of oxygen, primarily the heart and brain. It is not known to have adverse effects on vegetation, visibility, or material objects. There are two Federal ambient air quality standards for CO: a • maximum 8-hour average of 9 ppm and a maximum 1-hour average concentration of 35 ppm, each not to be exceeded more than once per year. The State 8-hour standard is the same as the Federal, but the 1-hour maximum is an average concentration of 20 ppm. Nitrogen Dioxide: There are many forms of NOx, all of which are solely composed of just oxygen and nitrogen. Two forms of NOx are important to air quality: nitric oxide (NO) , a colorless, odorless gas formed by the oxidation of atmospheric or fuel bound nitrogen during combustion, and NO2, a reddish brown irritating gas formed by the further oxidation of nitric oxide in the presence of atmospheric oxygen. NOx directly participates in photochemical smog reactions. The process is a solar energy driven chemical reaction that is complex and not clearly understood. However, it is known that • 86 the emitted compound, nitrogen oxide, combines with oxygen in the atmosphere and forms NO2. This NO2, in the presence of ultraviolet light (e.g. , sunlight) , can directly photodissociate into nitric oxide (NO) and highly diatomic oxygen (02) , forming ozone (03) in the presence of a third body such as hydrocarbons, or diatomic nitrogen (N2) . The NAAQS for NO2 is a maximum annual arithmetic mean concentration of 0.05 ppm. The CAAQS standard is 0.25 ppm for a 1-hour average. Sulfur Dioxide: SO2 is a colorless, pungent, irritating gas formed primarily by the combustion of sulfur containing fuels. In humid atmospheres, - SO2 may react with oxygen (02) and water vapor (H20) to form sulfurous acid (H2SO3) and sulfuric acid mist (H2SO4) , and may eventually react with other materials to produce sulfur particulates. • SO2 emissions also contribute to the precipitation of acidic waters (e.g. , rain, snow, and .dew) , commonly known as acid rain. The sulfuric acid and nitric acid that contaminate the atmospheric moisture are caused by the emissions of sulfur ,oxides and nitrogen oxides. Chemical changes occur when sulfur oxides and..nitrogen oxides emitted from stationary and mobile sources are transported miles away from their point of origin. Within a few days, the materials are converted to their acidic form (i.e. , a reduction in the pH) , and then precipitate out from the atmosphere. At sufficiently high concentrations SO2 can irritate the upper respiratory tract. At lower concentrations, in combination with particulates, it can injure lung tissues. Sulfur oxides, in combination with oxygen and.moisture, can yellow the leaves of plants, dissolve marble and corrode iron and steel. 87 In Orange County, fuel combustion, motor vehicles and mobile equipment are the major sources of SO2. There are two California air quality standards for SO2 ; a maximum 1-hour average concentration of 0.25 ppm at all. locations and a maximum 24-hour average of 0.05 ppm at locations which also violate the State 03 and/or suspended particulate standards. The National primary standards are 0.14 ppm for a 24-hour average and 0.03 ppm for an annual arithmetic mean. There is also a National secondary SO2 standard of 0.50 ppm for a 3-hour average. Total Suspended Particulates: Particulate matter, either liquid or solid, consists of particulates of varying size and composition. Particulates may originate in nature or as a direct result of human activities. Dust, mist, ash, smoke fumes and pollen are all particulate matter. In areas close to .major sources, particulate concentrations are generally high in the • winter when more fuel is burned and meteorological conditions favor the build-up of contaminants. Major sources of particulate matter in Orange County include fugitive dust from paved and unpaved roads, and construction and demolition activities. Very small particles of five microns or less are in the respirable range and may be ingested deep into the lungs, acting alone or synergistically with gaseous contaminants to produce lung tissue damage. Suspended in the air, particulates of aerosol size (less than 1 micron) can both scatter and absorb sunlight, reducing the amount of solar energy reaching the surface, producing haze, and .restricting visibilty. The CAAQS 24-hour particulate standard is 50 ug/m3, while the NAAQS 24-hour standard is 150 ug/m3. 88 Table 9 provides a summary of the air contaminants affecting both the City of Huntington Beach and the Project Area, taken from the Summary of 1987 Air Ouality Data as prepared by the California Air Resources Board.

The Los Alamitos air station reported 10 days of ozone levels in violation of CAAQS and 4 days in violation of NAAQS, with the highest one hour ozone concentration at 0. 16 ppm. The Costa Mesa station did not record any violations of either CAAQS or NAAQS carbon monoxide standards for this period, with the highest 8-hour carbon monoxide concentration at 8. 13 ppm and the highest one-hour concentration at 11 ppm. There were also no violations of CAAQS nitrogen dioxide standards at Costa Mesa, with the highest one-hour concentration at 0. 19 ppm. Both the Costa Mesa and Los Alamitos stations reported no violations of CAAQS sulfur dioxide standards for this six month period, with the highest one-hour reading at 0.02 ppm for both stations. Air pollutants are classified as either nonattainment, • attainment or unclassified for achieving National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) . A nonattainment classification indicates that the area under study does not meet Federal air quality standards for a particular pollutant. As shown above in Table 9, both the Costa Mesa and Los Alamitos monitoring areas exceeded both the State and Federal limits on ozone levels. The Los Alamitos area also violated both the State and Federal standards for total suspended particulates. Therefore, the Costa Mesa area is considered nonattainment for ozone, while the Los Alamitos area is considered nonattainment for both ozone and total suspended particulates. All other pollutants measured at these air stations are designated as attainment and therefore meet Federal air quality standards. B. Impacts The proposed Project may contribute to increased air pollution • in the local air basin by generating increased vehicle miles (mobile-source generators) associated with the average daily 90 trip volumes resulting from the generally improved economic and • physical quality of the Project Area. In addition, development of underutilized parcels- and increased energy consumption from new commercial and residential developments (point-source generators) may contribute to pollution emissions, although vehicular traffic will continue to be the primary source of pollution. The degree of impact within the regional air basin should be insignificant, although the local effects on air quality may be greater. Mobile-source emissions resulting from the construction of facilities within the Project Area cannot be quantified without precisely projected traffic Volumes and average trip lengths generated from each improvement/project. However, the impacts can be qualified as both short term and long term growth effects foreseen by the Huntington Beach General Plan. • The Project will not substantially increase pollutant emissions, accelerate deterioration of ambient air quality, create objectionable odors, or alter air movement or other climatic conditions. The Project is consistent with, and conforms to, the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach and all other applicable City, County, State- and Federal growth and development standards. The proposed land uses, and subsequent projects described herein, are considered to be planned uses and accommodating measures to enhance the. present and future community. C. Mitigation Measures These mitigation measures are recommended as conditions of Project approval: 1. The Agency shall participate with the regional South Coast • Air Quality Management District, the County of Orange, and 91 the State Air Resources Board in the development of long-range solutions regarding the regional air quality. 2 . Specific projects, as appropriate, shall be reviewed for their individual and cumulative impacts upon the local and regional air quality during the appropriate stage of planning. 3 . Watering is the normal method of dust control on construction sites. An effective watering program (complete coverage twice daily) could reduce dust particulates by about 50 percent. The conditions of approval for affected projects shall require that all. construction contracts include provisions for a comprehensive dust control effort, involving frequent watering of all dust sources and clean-up of all mud carried out from construction sites onto roadways. 4. Since the bulk of emissions from an auto trip occurs during the first few minutes of travel when the engine is cold and the emissions controls are not effective, measures to reduce vehicle trips rather than vehicle miles travelled are far more effective in controlling auto emissions. 5. Measures that could be adopted to reduce trips include increased use of mass transit in the City, ridesharing, and bicycle incentives as residential development in the City increases. Major employers should provide incentives for ridesharing, transit, and bicycle use. Future projects, as appropriate, could provide secured parking for bicycles and provide for transit amenities. Such projects might also reduce the required parking for automobiles in exchange for additional bicycle and transit amenities. The application of these measures can be expected to reduce trip generation. 92 6. No improvement/project shall be allowed by the Agency that is inconsistent with the Regional Air Quality Plan. 2. 6 LAND USE A. Existing Conditions The breakdown of land uses within the Project Area by approximate acreage is presented below in Table 10. Figure 10 illustrates the existing land uses throughout the Project Area, while Figure it provides the General Plan land use designations for properties within the Project Area.

The northern portion is characterized by a mixture of older single family houses, sometimes more than one on the same lot, and newly contructed multi-family structures. Many of these older single family houses are in need of substantial rehabilitation and do not have adequate front yard setbacks. The northeast corner of the Project Area contains the Charter Centre, a 400, 000 square foot commercial retail and office complex. The southern portion of the Project Area primarily consists of multi-family 4-plex structures, most of which are in need of some rehabilitation. 93 • WARNER AVE. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT General Plan Land Use Map Project Area Boundaries N General Commercial Medium Density Residential SCALE Medium High Density Residential 0 200 400 feet SOURCE: HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN Figure 11 As shown in Figure 11, the northeastern portion of the Project Area is designated as General Commercial, which is the most common commercial land use classification in the City. The types of land uses which are permitted under this category are: (1) convenience and neighborhood commercial developments; (2) community shopping centers; (3) regional shopping centers; (4) highway related commercial uses; (5) hotels and. motels; and (6) office professional uses. As shown in Figure 10, nearly all of the existing land uses are in conformance with the General Commercial standards. The residential area north of the alley between Cypress Avenue and Mandrell Drive is within the Medium Density Residential designation. This type of residential use is intended for housing of a more intense nature than single family detached dwelling units, with the predominate land uses consisting of duplexes, triplexes, apartments, condominiums, and townhouse developments. The allowable density is 15 or less dwelling units per gross acre. The location criteria for Medium Density Residential is as follows: (1) locate in close proximity to commercial and other business areas, educational and institutional facilities, cultural, and other public facilities (e.g. transportation routes) ; and (2) serve as a buffer or transition area between low density or estate residential and more intense land uses, where possible. The existing land uses within this portion of the Project Area are in conformance with these land use standards. The remaining portion of the Project Area is designated in the General Plan Land Use Element as Medium High Density Residential. This residential category is designed to allow a greater concentration of development than permitted under the Medium Density category, while setting an upper limit on density that is lower than the most intense and concentrated residential development allowed in the City. Apartments, condominiums, and townhouse developments are intended to predominate this land use category. The allowable density is 25 or less dwelling units per gross acre. The locational criteria is as follows: (1) in transitional areas between medium and • high density land uses; (2) near major transportation routes and highways; and (3) in proximity to commercial areas and activity 96 areas. As shown in Figure 10, the existing land uses are in conformance with the standards of this land use designation. B. Impacts The adopted Redevelopment Plan will comply with, and conform to, the goals, objectives, and policies of the Huntington Beach General Plan and all other applicable City, County, State, and Federal land use laws, restrictions and guidelines. Project Area improvements and development, made possible by Plan implementation, are expected to increase the Project Area's level of land utilization to the long range levels as designated in the Huntington Beach General Plan. It is important to note, however, that the General Plan land use regulations applicable to Project Area prohibit any high density residential or commercial developments. The adoption of a Redevelopment Plan, in and of itself, will involve no major alterations to existing land uses within the Project Area. . The Redevelopment Plan and contemplated projects will form a catalyst for future private development and investment upon currently underutilized properties in accordance with the General Plan Land Use Element. Moreover, directed residential and commercial improvement/development projects ;-will stimulate privately funded improvement of. neglected and marginally maintained properties in the Project Area. Implementation of the Redevelopment Plan will provide the City with an improved financing mechanism to supplement funding of needed public facilities. In addition, the use of tax increment financing under the amended Redevelopment Plan will enable a variety of residential and commercial improvements, traffic and circulation, and public service infrastructure projects which will work towards the elimination of deficient conditions within the Project Area. Utilization of this Project as an economic development incentive will • stimulate positive residential and commercial land uses. Projects dedicated to increasing and improving the community's supply of low- 97 and moderate-income housing will serve to increase positive . utilization of residential land as designated in the City's General Plan. Infrastructure and right-of-way improvements are anticipated to bring positive effects not only in .terms of improved circulation, but also to all properties served by the rights-of-way through improvements to gutters, sewer and water lines, flood systems, resurfacing, curbs, and sidewalks. While assessing effects on the current state of land uses, as a result of implementation of projects proposed by the amended Redevelopment Plan, consideration must also be given to the improvement of land in the Project Area that is presently underutilized. One of many factors contributing to possible development of, and improvement to, these parcels is an indirect impact of the implementation of the amended Redevelopment Plan. There are several reasons for this indirect relationship: 1. An improved economic climate resulting from implementation of economic development and financial incentives to spur . investment initiative and further interest in private developments and improvements; and 2. The amended Redevelopment Plan serving as a catalyst to General Plan objectives can, for example, create additional commercial and retail jobs by way of economic development incentive projects. C. Mitigation Measures 1. Implementation of the proposed public improvements/projects, by encouraging orderly development, will serve as mitigation measures to areas identified as being deficient, as defined in Section 1.4 of this document, thereby alleviating the negative economic trends, lack of vitality, and lack of maintenance which dominate the Project Area. 98 • The improvements will serve, in accordance with General Plan goals and objectives, to remove conditions of stagnation, deficiency and deterioration and will be the catalyst for the revitalization and economic development of appropriate land uses within the Project Area. Being that no significant adverse land use impacts are associated with the amended Plan, no additional mitigation measures other than the proposed improvements/projects are recommended. 2.7 CULTURAL RESOURCES A. Existing Conditions There are no known archaeological sites or State designated historical landmarks within the Project Area. Locally significant historic structures and architectural styles are located throughout the City, but not within the Project Area. B. Impacts Any improvements/projects undertaken in the Project- Area which would disturb, alter, or cover the existing ground surface has the potential to significantly impact possible unknown archaeological sites. Specifically, the proposed Project has the potential to impact possible archaeological or historical resources in the following ways: 1. The potential alteration of or destruction of. a prehistoric or historic site. 2. The potential for adverse physical or aesthetic effects to a prehistoric or historic structure or object. C. Mitigation Measures • These mitigation measures are recommended as a condition of Project approval in order to insure that the Project will not result in the 99 alteration or destruction of any significant historical or cultural • sites or structures. 1. In the event any archaeological or historical resources are discovered during Plan implementation, work shall be terminated until such time as a qualified archaeological consultant can investigate the findings. In such a case, the investigating archaeologist shall determine appropriate future actions that must be taken prior to continuation of the affected project(s) . 2 . Any future development within areas noted by the Huntington Beach General Plan as potential archaeological sites must be conditioned upon a archaeological and cultural resource survey prior to the issuance of any construction. permits. All such reports shall require, except where determined unnecessary by the Huntington Beach Planning Department, a field survey, a records search of the UCLA Institute of Archaeology files, and a report discussing the potential project impacts and recommended • mitigation measures, all of which are to be prepared by a qualified archaeologist or archaeological firm. 2.8 AESTHETIC RESOURCES A. Existing Conditions 0 .Conditions of deterioration which result in aesthetic deficiencies, as discussed in Section 1.4 of this document, are thoroughly analyzed in the Preliminary Report for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project. This document has been incorporated herein by reference and copies of this document are available at the office of the Huntington Beach City Clerk. The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency has determined and documented that the proposed Project Area is characterized by deficient conditions as identified in the Preliminary Report. These conditions represent physical, social, economic, and visual liabilities which require a Redevelopment Plan in order to properly 100 provide for the utilization and development of properties in a manner which is consistent with, and in the interest of, the health, safety, and general welfare of the people and property owners within the City in general. It is the intent of the Agency to use the Redevelopment Plan as the vehicle to remedy and/or mitigate conditions of deficiency existing in the Project Area. The proposed approach will include, but may not be limited to, redevelopment projects that are identified in Appendix A of this Report. There is, generally, poor visual quality throughout much of the Project Area, including the following: o Inadequate landscaping, buffering, and setbacks from public rights-of-way; o Inadequately maintained buildings; o Unsightly overhead utility lines and poles; o Poorly maintained underutilized parcels; o Public facilities and infrastructure in need of expensive repairs and/or modifications. B. Impacts The visual and aesthetic impacts associated with the amended Project are positive in nature and are directed at improving the existing deficient conditions of the Project Area through the provision of directed infrastructure projects, rehabilitation, development of new public facilities, and housing assistance programs, as outlined in Appendix A. The redevelopment of the Project Area should be viewed in a positive light. Concerted efforts by public agencies and private individuals in accordance with the amended Redevelopment Plan will provide for future quality streetscapes, modern public facilities, improved 101 public utilities and services, residential and commercial rehabilitation and development programs, and other amenities which contribute to the general upgrading of the Project Area's attractiveness and usefulness for the entire City as a whole. No significant adverse effects upon the Project Area's aesthetic resources will result from Project implementation. The proposed Project will not result in the obstruction of any scenic vista or view open to the public, or the creation of an aesthetically offensive site. Proposed improvements/projects will have the beneficial effect of significantly contributing to the improvement of the Project Area's visual presence and usefulness for the entire City. Future development will result in the elimination of underutilized and/or vacant properties. Presently, these parcels contribute no visual amenities or usefulness to the Project Area or its surrounding environs. Economic incentives relating to property rehabilitation, revitalization, and development will enhance the aesthetic quality of the Project Area. C. Mitigation Measures 1. The proposed improvements/projects are considered mitigation measures to alleviate existing aesthetic deficiencies. No negative impacts upon future aesthetic resources are expected to occur as a result of Project implementation. Therefore, no further mitigation measures are recommended. 2 .9. EARTH RESOURCES A. Existing Conditions Topography and Soils The City of Huntington Beach is located western Orange County on a flat alluvial plain created by the Santa Ana River watershed. The Project Area is generally flat with no major relief. Elevations above sea level range from 20 to 40 feet. 102 The entire Project Area is characterized by the Hueneme-Bolsa soil • association. This association, which is indicative of little to no gradient (0 to 2 percent) , is mainly found on flood plains and alluvial fans with elevations ranging from 5 to 350 feet. The soils of this association are usually poorly drained to somewhat poorly drained, and consist primarily of calcareous fine sandy loams, silt loams, and silty clay loams. This soil associaiton is commonly used for urban development. According to the Orange County General Plan, the following soil conditions could affect portions of the Project Area. Efforts to rehabilitate existing structures and/or construction of new buildings may require soil studies to determine the appropriate mitigation measures. Expansive Soils: This refers to soils which incorporate water into their mineral structure, which results in swelling of mineral grains and increased soil volume. The degree 'of soil expansion is • determined by the percentage and type of minerals in the soil. In addition, the amount of water a soil can incorporate depends upon the stress on the grains created by the combined weight of the soil and man-made structures. Orange County is generally characterized by various types of expansive soils which produce cracking in concrete foundations. The most prevalent problems result from clay soils which expand and contract with moisture, causing building foundations, sidewalks, and swimming pools to lift and crack. Geologists have identified three predominant soil conditions prevalent in the residential areas throughout Orange County, each of which could result in soil expansions: 1. Differential Swell - characterized by a thicker zone of expansive soil which causes more swelling at one side of the structure than at the other. 103 2 . Concentric Swell - characterized by water migration beneath a foundation, resulting in swelling in the center of the structure. 3 . Slope Yielding - this condition occurs when the soil shifts downslope, therefore tilting the foundation. Problems attributed to expansive soils are usually related to improperly designed or constructed foundations. Due to the generally poor drainage characteristics of the Hueneme-Bolsa soil association, no structure is completely safe from some degree of cracking, slipping, or sinking, regardless of the structure's age or location. Currently, problems attributed to expansive soils are mitigated through structural and design regulations as well as through soil treatment techniques. . Peat Formations: In the process of coal formation from masses of vegetation, peat is the earliest stage of conversion. Peat consists of mats of partly decayed vegetable matter which may or may not be covered by sediment. Accumulation of peat can occur in various stages, including sand beach bars blocking coastal streams, generation of sag ponds by faulting, and, historically common in Orange County, abandonment of stream channels by a river cutting a new path. Peat formations create hazardous conditions for structures placed on a land surface underlain by a peat deposit. Such structures may be damaged by collapse of the peat mat or by fires generated by methane gas beneath the structure. Currently, hazards caused by peat deposits are mitigated through initial consolidation or removal of the peat material prior to construction. Although the western edge of the Project Area is adjacent to a former marsh and peat bog area (which is now occupied by the Oakview Elementary School and Community Center) , there are no peat formations present within the Project Area. 104 Seismology • The earliest and simplest method of estimating the intensity of an P 9 Y earthquake was devised by the Italian seismologist Mercalli in 1902. This scale, which ranges from I to XII, is based on actual observed effects of an earthquake. The following scale, which was modified in 1931 to take into account modern structural features, is known as the Modified Mercalli Scale. TABLE 11 MODIFIED MERCALLI INTENSITY SCALE I. Not felt except by a very few under especially favorable circumstances. II. Felt only by a few persons at rest, especially on upper floors of buildings. Delicately suspended objects may swing. III. Felt quite noticeably indoors, especially on upper floors of buildings, but many people do not recognize it as earthquake. Standing motor cars may rock slightly. Vibration like passing of truck. Duration estimates. • IV. During day felt indoors by -many, outdoors by few; at night some awaken. Dishes, windows, doors disturbed; walls make cracking sound. Sensation like heavy truck striking buildings. Standing motor cars rock noticeably. V. Felt by nearly everyone; some may awaken. Some dishes, windows, etc. break; a few instances of cracked plaster; unstable objects overturn. Disturbance of trees, poles & other tall objects sometimes notices. Pendulum clocks may stop. VI. Everybody runs outdoors. Damage negligible in buildings of good design and construction; slight to moderate in well built ordinary structures; considerable in poorly built or badly designed structures; some chimneys break. Noticed by persons driving motor cars. VIII. Damage slight in specially designed structures; considerable in ordinary substantial buildings with partial collapse; great in poorly built structures. Panel walls thrown out of frame structures. Chimneys, factory stacks, columns, monuments, walls fall; heavy furniture overturns. Sand and mud ejected in small amounts; well water changes; disturbs persons driving motor cars. • 105 TABLE 15 (cont. ) • IX. Damage considerable in specially designed structures; well designed frame structures thrown out of plumb; great in substantial buildings, with partial collapse. Buildings shift off foundations. Ground cracks conspicuously. Underground pipes break. X. Some well built wooden structures destroyed Most masonry and frame structures destroyed with their foundations; ground badly cracked. Rails bend; landslides are considerable from river banks and steep slopes. Sand and mud shifts; water splashes (slopes) over banks. XI. Few, if any (masonry) , structures remain standing. Bridges destroyed; broad fissures in ground. Underground pipe lines completely out of service; earth slumps and land slips in soft ground; rails bend greatly. XII. Damage is total. Waves seen on ground surface; lines of sign and level distorted and objects are thrown upward into the air. Source: Urban Futures, Inc. 1989 The Richter Magnitude Scale, named after Dr. Charles F. Richter, measures the energy of an earthquake at its source. On this scale, the earthquake's magnitude is expressed in whole numbers and decimals. The measured magnitude varies logarithmically with the wave amplitude of the quake recorded by the seismograph. Each whole number step of magnitude on the scale represents an increase of 10 times in the measured wave amplitude of an earthquake, and an increase of 31 times in the amount of energy released by the quake. Therefore, the amplitude of an 8.3 earthquake releases almost one million times more energy than an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3. A quake magnitude of 2 on the Richter scale is the smallest quake that can normally be felt. Earthquakes with a Richter magnitude of 7 or more are considered to be major quakes. Richter magnitudes are .not used to estimate resulting earthquake damage. However, a generalized correspondence can be made between the magnitude of a quake and the observable damage, as presented in Table 12. • 106 TABLE 12 • IDEALIZED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SIZE OF AN EARTHQUAKE (RICHTER MAGNITUDE) AND THE OBSERVED a)EFFECTS (MODIFIED MERCALLI INTENSITY Richter Magnitude 2 4 5 6 7 8 Maximum Reported Intensity (occurs within approximate (b) 10 mile radius of epicenter) I-II III IV-VII VII-VIII IX-X XI (a) For ordinary ground conditions, in metropolitan centers in California, neglecting the effects of increased intensity on unconsolidated ground and lowered intensity on firm rock. (b) See Table 14 for description of Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale After C.F. Richter (1958) . Source: Urban Futures, Inc. 1989 Orange County, as with most regions that border the Pacific Ocean, is charactreized by high seismic activity and vulnerability to potentially destructive earthquakes. Two major fault zones, the Newport-Inglewood Fault and the Whittier Fault, have the potential for significant damage throughout Orange County. The Newport-Inglewood Fault, as the name implies, forms a line connecting 'the Cities of Newport Beach and Inglewood. This fault produced the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, which had a Richter scale magnitude of 6.3 . This fault is believed to be capable of generating a 7.5 magnitude earthquake. The Whittier Fault, which runs across the northeasterly edge of the County, is believed to be the main spur from the larger Elsinore Fault which follows a general line easterly of the Santa Ana Mountains into Mexico. Most recorded shocks in this zone range from 4.0 to 5.0 magnitude, which is considered to be moderately active. However, in 1910 an earthquake registering 6.0 on the Richter scale hit Riverside County in the vicinity of Lake Elsinore. It is estimated that the maximum credible earthquake capable from the Whittier-Elsinore fault zone is 7.0 magnitude. Earthquakes generated from faults located outside of Orange County can also cause widespread damage within the County. Depending upon the magnitude, .earthquakes generated within a fifty mile radius of a 107 given point could cause minor to moderate damage. For Orange County • and the Project Area, these perimeter faults include the San Andreas Fault, San Jacinto Fault, Malibu-Coast-Raymond Fault, Palos Verdes Fault, San Gabriel Fault, and Sierra Madre-Santa Susana-Cucamonga Fault. The Norwalk and E1 Modeno Faults, both located within Orange County, are considered to be inactive. The locations of various fault zones in the Southern California region are shown in Figure 12. The geologic hazards associated with active earthquakes can be classified into primary and secondary hazards. The primary hazards include ground shaking, ground failure, and surface rupture. Ground shaking is usually, although not always, the greatest cause of damage. The vast majority of earthquake related deaths are the result of structural failure resulting from ground shaking. Most of these deaths occur in older buildings which were not adequately reinforced for earthquake resistance. Ground failure usually occurs in the form of landslides, rock falls, subsidence, and other surface and near surface ground movements. Surface rupture refers to the vertical and/or horizontal displacement of the earth's crust, which can offset the ground by as much as 30 feet. According to the Orange County General Plan, the Project Area is within an area that has moderate seismic shaking susceptibility. This condition is characteristic of the central portion of Huntington Beach, roughly bounded by Edwards Street, Pacific Coast Highway, Newland Street, and Edinger Avenue. The Project Area is not located within or near any areas susceptible to landslides, and is not highly vulnerable to various forms of ground failure. The potential for surface rupture in the Project Area, which is usually the result of a high magnitude earthquake, is not considered to be any greater than in other parts of the County. Secondary seismic hazards include liquefaction, ground sliding, ground lurching, and seiches. Liquefaction can be described as a "quicksand" condition characterized by the complete loss of strength of water-saturated subsurface foundation soil as a result of a sudden 108 • i ! x: LOS ANGELES SAN BERNADINO COUNTY COUNTY F its TAYNr , `�♦ :.lam•��r � �e'�N .. r� ♦ ♦�NOAE r� VENTURA `♦♦ a ,♦ X COUNTY ♦ 4P�a�s��E� ♦♦ •Ventura M A �,♦♦$an Bernadino mosu 00 too me Los Angeles Wool Riverside , BANIytN q y Lon , ♦ ♦;oA�, •� Beac 9antel An ♦ RIVERSIDE s ;: ,♦ p ,, COUNTY Fs COUNTY`` • �; % ♦;�,o • • ,�I � ,'�` `♦ • SAN DIEGO .� ., COUNTY AMENDMENT NO. •., ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT N REGIONAL FAULT MAP —�— Major Faults SCALE 1" = 20 miles Inferred Faults or Offshore Escarpments Source: Orange County General Plan Figure 12 decrease of shearing resistance in a cohesionless soil (such as sand) . accompanied by a temporary increase in pore-water pressure. Ground sliding is a condition dependent upon the intensity of shaking and the looseness of the soil. Ground lurching can result in the intense ground breakage and cracking that is believed to result from the convergence of seismic energy along the crest of ridges. Seiches refers to waves in lakes and reservoirs due to tilting or displacement of the bottom. In terms of secondary hazards, the Project Area is in a portion of the City, which has approximately the same boundaries as the portion of the City with moderate ground shaking potential, that has no liquefaction potential. Other secondary seismic hazards are not considered to be significant threats to. the Project Area. . One of the most crucial aspects of evaluating a community's susceptibility to earthquake damage is the impact upon critical facilities. A structure is considered critical when one or both of the following criteria are met: (1) the failure of the structure would present a high degree of danger. to a large number of people; and (2) the failure of the structure would severely impair the ability of the community to respond in an emergency. The first criterion is to some degree subjective, but typically includes facilities which regularly provide services and support to the general community, such as hospitals, schools, and dams. The second criterion generally refers to facilities which are necessary to insure rapid response to major disasters. This would include police stations, fire stations, bridges, and radio stations. The breakdown of all structures defined as critical facilities is listed in Table 13. i 110 TABLE 13 TAXONOMY OF CRITICAL FACILITIES Potential Effect Required for Facility on Loss of Life Community Functioning Dams/Levees X Electrical Sub-Stations X Schools/Colleges X Fire Stations X Railroad Lines X Aqueducts X County Buildings X City Buildings X Hospitals X X Sewage Treatment Plants X Water Works X • Radio Stations X Television Stations X Microwave Stations X Highway Patrol Offices X Major Highways/Bridges X X Highway Tunnels X X Radio Repeater Stations X Source: Urban Futures, Inc. 1989 • 111 For critical facilities, such as hospitals, the Veterans Administration has established certain criteria for determining whether liquefaction investigations should be required. Sites requiring detailed study are: a. Sites with anticipated earthquake intensities of Modified Mercalli VII or greater. b. Subsoils with saturated fine sand layers, with 50 percent or more of grain size less than two millimeters, at a depth of 45 feet or less. C. Subsoil having relative densities of 40 percent or less, with a Modified Mercalli VII or greater earthquake intensity - or a relative density of less than 75 percent or less, with a Modified Mercalli IX or greater earthquake intensity. B. Impacts As the Project will be implemented in accordance with the City's General Plan, it will not result in any unstable earth conditions or changes in the geologic substructure. It will not result in the destruction, modification, or covering of any unique geologic features, or produce any wind or water erosion of soils in 'lor around the Project Area (any temporary dispersion of dust during the construction phase will be mitigated by the measures proposed in 2.5 Air Quality) . The Project will not result in any changes in deposition or erosion of beach sands, or changes in siltation, deposition, or erosion which might modify any river. channel or ocean bed. Disruptions to the topsoil and changes in topopgraphy or ground surface relief features may occur as a result of construction activities related to implementation of. the proposed public improvements/projects. However, such activities will not produce any significantly negative impacts to the Project Area soil resources as • all construction activities will be in conformance with the City's General Plan and all applicable building code standards. 112 It is probable that portions of the Project Area will be subjected to one or more significant groundshaking events during the lifetime of the amended Redevelopment Plan. Damage to structures could occur and public safety could be threatened if new structures are not constructed to withstand anticipated maximum ground shaking events. However, the Project will expose people or properties to any geological hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, or similar hazards as all structures and public facilities constructed as a result of Project implementation will be in accordance with all applicable seismic safety standards. It is anticipated that any signifcant impacts will be positive in nature since implementation of the amended Redevelopment Plan will beneficially affect existing structures and supportive infrastructure within the Project Area by providing rehabilitation programs for upgrading deficiencies where such improvement is warranted. C. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures are recommended as conditions of Project approval. 1. Geotechnical and soils engineering reports shall be prepared in conjunction with the preparation of preliminary design layouts and grading plans for projects in the Project Area. These studies will determine areas of hazardous soil conditions as identified under A. Existing Conditions of this Section. These reports shall provide specific mitigation measures for the treatment of potential geologic hazards including seismic shaking and other hazardous soil conditions. 2. Comprehensive geotechnical investigation shall be required prior to engineering and design development of structures identified under Risk Class I & II, e.g. , public facilities; as identified below: 113 Risk Class I & II, Structures Critically Needed after Disaster: Structures which are critically needed after a disaster include important utility centers, hospitals, fire, police and emergency communication facilities; fire stations, and critical transportation elements such as bridges and overpasses and smaller dams. Acceptable Damage: Minor non-structural; facility should remain operational and safe, or be suitable for quick restoration of service. Risk Class III & IV, Ordinary Risk Tolerance: The vast majority of structures in urban areas; most commercial and industrial buildings, small, hotels and apartment buildings and single family residences. .Acceptable Damage: An "ordinary" degree of risk should be acceptable. The criteria envisioned by the Structural Engineers Association of California provide the best definition of the "ordinary" level of acceptable risk. These criteria require that buildings be able to: 1. Resist minor earthquakes without damage; 2. Resist moderate earthquakes without structural damage, but with some non-structural damage; or 3. Resist major earthquakes, of the intensity or severity of the strongest experienced in California, without collapse, but with some structural, as well as non-structural damage. Risk Class V, Moderate to' High Risk Tolerance: Open space uses, such as farms, ranches and parks without high occupancy structures; warehouses with low intensity employment and the storing of non-hazardous materials. Acceptable Damage: Not applicable. • 114 3 . All structures shall be designed in accordance with the applicable multiplier factor seismic design provisions of the County's Seismic Safety Element to promote safety in the event of an earthquake. 4 . There are four related initial actions which the City of Huntington Beach and the Agency shall follow to ensure mitigation. of seismic related hazards: a. Utilize geologic and seismic data in land planning so that identified risk areas, if any, are avoided or structures and landforms treated and designed to reflect local site conditions; b. Make sure that local grading and building codes reflect measures to minimize possible seismic damage; C. Inspect older buildings and improve earthquake design features when possible; d. Maintain a disaster preparedness plan. 5. The direct impacts of active faults in the Southern California region upon the proposed improvements/projects shall be considered during preliminary planning processes, as deemed necessary by project specific environmental impact analysis. 6. The geotechnical and soils report recommendations as stipulated in C. Mitigation Measures, 1. , of this Section, shall be incorporated into the design of new building foundations and roadways. 7. All rehabilitation and new development projects implemented as a result of the proposed Project shall be built in accordance with current and applicable Uniform Building Code standards and all other applicable City, County, State and Federal laws, regulations and guidelines, which may limit construction and 115 site preparation activities such as grading, and make provisions • for appropriate land use restrictions, as deemed necessary, to protect residents and others from potential environmental safety hazards, either seismically induced or those resulting from other conditions such as inadequate soil conditions, as described under A. Existing Conditions of this Section, which may exist in the Project Area. 2 . 10 BIOTIC RESOURCES A. Existing Conditions Vegetation The Project Area is located in an urbanized setting, with almost all vegetation comprised of non-native species such as trees, grasses, flowers, and weeds. The entire Project Area has been previously disturbed by urban land uses. . Much of the Project Area is covered by impervious surfaces such as streets, sidewalks, parking areas, and buildings. Section 1900, Chapter 10 of the California Fish and Game Code defines a rare plant as one which is "rare when, although not presently threatened with extinction, it is in such small numbers throughout its range that it may become endangered if its present environment worsens. " An endangered plant "is endangered when its prospects of survival and reproduction are in immediate jeopardy from one or more causes. " In order to be considered rare, the California distribution of a native plant must be characterized by one or more of the following conditions: 1. limited to unusual substrate or sharply defined .habitat not representative of a region; 116 2 . generally limited or infrequent in number, such that it complies with at least three of the following conditions: a. fewer than 20 definable populations; b. maximum inter-population distance of less than 100 kilometers (68 miles) ; C. most populations of fewer than 10, 000 individuals; d. most populations less than one hectare (2.47 acres) ; 3 . limited in total area of occurrence to less than five hectares (about 12.4 acres) ; or 4. limited to one or two populations. In order to qualify as an endangered species, a native plant must satisfy at least one of the following classifications: 1: most populations undergoing imminent or active destruction of range or fundamental habitat; 2. native plant reproductive strategy in danger of failure due to limited plant numbers or occurrences, or loss of support organisms; 3. low potential for effective coordination of land management due to fragmentation of ownership and land use regulatory-management authorities or occurrences on sites where adopted land use management plans and policies preclude its continued survival; or 4. subject to heavy collection pressure due to high horticultural, economic, aesthetic, commercial, or research value. 117 The California Native Plant Society's (CNPS) "Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California" assesses the status of rare and endangered plants in California by determining the severity of the following conditions: Rarity, which addresses the extent of the plant, both in terms of numbers of individuals and the nature and extent of distribution; Endangerment, which relates to any factors which threaten a plant species with extinction; and Distribution, which involves the general range of the plant's. population. Collectively, these three elements make up the R-E-D Code used by the California Native Plant Society. Each of the above listed elements in this Code is divided into three classes or degrees of concern, • represented by the numbers 1, 2, and 3. This numercial breakdown represents the following levels of severity: R (Rarity) 1- rare, but found in sufficient numbers and distributed widely enough that the potential for extinction or extirpation is low at this time. 2- occurrence confined to several populations or to one extended population. 3- occurrence limited to one or a few highly restricted populations, or present in such small numbers that it is seldom reported. 118 E (Endangerment) 1- not endangered 2- endangered in a portion of its range 3- endangered throughout its range D (Distribution) 1- more or less widespread outside California 2- rare outside California 3- endemic to California Based on this classification, the California Native Plant Society has identified the following rare and endangered plant species as . occurring within the vicinity of the Project Area (USGS topographic map quadrangle 71B, which also includes the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve) : Chorizanthe staticoides - commonly known as the Turkish rugging, this species is described as seriously threatened by urban development. The R-E-D Code for this plant species is 2-2-3. Cordylanthus maritimus - commonly known as the Salt marsh bird's beak, this species typically occurs in coastal salt marshes. The R-E-D Code for this species is 2-2-2. Dudleya Multicaulis - commonly known as the Many-stemed dudleya, this species is described as threatened by urban development. The R-E-D Code for this species is 1-2-3. udleya stolonifera - commonly known as the Laguna Beach dudleya, this species is considered to be possibly threatened by plant collectors. The R-E-D Code for this species is 3-3-3. 119 Wildlife The distribution of indigenous wildlife in Huntington Beach is g g limited due to the urbanized character of the City, which greatly restricts both the number and size of native vegetation habitat areas that are necessary to support many wildlife species. Wildlife endemic to such urban environments are restricted to those species tolerant of human activities, such as small birds, reptiles, and rodents. No rare or endangered wildlife species have been observed or are expected to exist within the Project Area. B. Impacts Future redevelopment activities within the Project Area, in accordance with the Huntington Beach General Plan, Huntington Beach Zoning Ordinance, and all other applicable City; County, State, and Federal laws, guidelines, and regulations, could result in the elimination and/or displacement of various native and non-native plant species (primarily weeds) and some small rodents located in the Project Area. The proposed Project is not anticipated to significantly change the diversity or number of any existing plant species such as trees and shrubs. Any introduction of new plant species would most likely be restricted to decorative landscaping associated with various public improvements/projects. The proposed Project will not result in the reduction of any agricultural lands, since the Project Area does not contain any agricultural uses, or result in the deterioration of existing fish or wildlife habitat, except as related to vector control. Any potential disruption to existing flora and fauna will not have any significant negative impacts to any rare or endangered vegetative or wildlife communities due to the Project Area's insignificance as a primary habitat for such communities. The lack of native biotic resources, associated with open grasslands and woodlands, makes the Project Area a very unlikely habitat for these wildlife species. 120 C. Mitigation Measures The Agency, actin in the capacity of Lead Agency, - shall decide which 9 P Y public improvements/projects would require site-specific biotic resource surveys and impact analysis reports during the initial environmental study phase. A biotic study shall be required for those projects which have the potential to adversely impact any native, undisturbed biotic resources. With regards to the introduction of non-native landscaping species, subsequent impacts can be avoided by utilizing native, drought-resistant plant species for landscaping. A landscape architect familiar with such species or the California Native Plant Society should be consulted on a project-by-project basis. 2. 11 ENERGY A. Existing Conditions Electricity is supplied to the Project Area by the Southern California Edison Company. The Project Area receives its natural gas supply from the Southern California Gas Company. B. Impacts Additional quantities of electricity, natural gas, and other petroleum products may be consumed through the development and improvement of the Project Area. The use and permanent commitment of construction materials, fuels, chemicals and other construction related resources will be required for future Agency activities. No estimates on the amounts of energy and materials -required for future activities are available. Neither the Southern California Edison Company or the Southern California Gas Company anticipate any. significant problems in continuing to provide services to the Project Area. 121 It is anticipated that the automobile will continue to be the major • consumer of gasoline for the Project Area. Transportation energy demands and consumption will be dependent upon total vehicle trips, vehicle miles traveled, and automobile fuel economy. Proposed improvements/projects will not significantly affect the long term availability of noted local/regional energy resources. Such projects include street improvements, storm drain projects, sewer and water projects, pedestrian and vehicular circulation projects, park and beautification improvements, and commercial and residential rehabilitation and development assistance programs. The Project is consistent with, and conforms to, the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. All proposed improvements/projects are considered to be growth-accommodating measures to accompany and complement existing and future development. Growth resulting from the implementation of the anticipated • improvements/projects is considered by the City to have beneficial and positive impacts to the Project Area. C. Mitigation Measures The formulation of specific improvements/projects should be coordinated with utility companies during Plan implementation. The following mitigation measures are recommended as conditions of Project approval. 1. The City and Agency shall encourage conservation of energy within the Project Area which may include, but not be limited to: (1) providing for the efficient design of transportation networks and systems; (2) encouraging the use of solar technologies in the construction or modification of new or existing structures; and (3) implementation of City policies which encourage energy • efficient construction practices. 122 2 . All applicable State Code requirements as related to insulation, heat loss, ratios of glass to walls and other applicable standards shall be adhered to in the design and implementation of all related projects as necessary. 3 . The Agency shall, when necessary, ensure compliance with applicable standards required in the Energy Design Manual for Residential Buildings and the Energy Design Manual for Non-Residential Buildings, both effective in July 1978, and distributed by the Energy Commission of the State of California. 4 . Exterior lighting standards shall be selected and situated with rega,rd to minimizing energy consumption, while providing adequate safety. for users. 5. The most effective measures for conserving energy take place at the consumer level within the home, at the office and other places of business. A primary roadblock in achieving energy • conservation. is that consumers are unaware of -the importance of energy conservation and what they can do to conserve energy. Energy conservation would be best served if the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency assists other public agencies and the public utility company in educating Project Area residents/business owners about applicable conservation techniques. 2. 12 PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY A. Existing Conditions The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency has determined that the existing physical, social, and economic conditions within the Project Area will continue to exist without the aid of redevelopment. Many of these conditions, which the proposed Project seeks to reverse or alleviate, represent public health and safety hazards. • The descriptions of the Project Area's declining physical, social, and economic conditions are contained within the Preliminary Report 123 for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project, which is incorporated in this Report by reference. Copies of the Preliminary Report are available for review at the Huntington Beach City Clerk's office. B. Impacts Long Term The purpose of the amended Project is to revitalize and upgrade existing conditions within the Project Area, in accordance with the City's General Plan, in order to improve the local image and enhance the quality of life. for Project Area residents/employees/business owners and the City as a whole. The proposed Project will: (1) provide adequate roadways and adequate parking; (2) reduce the cost of providing City services; (3) create jobs for future Project Area residents and residents of the City in general; (4) increase sales and business tax revenues; (5) create social and economic stability; and (6) promote aesthetic and environmental actions and improvements that will assist in the revitalization efforts. Improvements to the health and safety of Project Area residents, employees, and property owners would be achieved by implementation of the proposed Project through: (1) the rehabilitation of physically obsolete or substandard structures and other negative physical influences; (2) the installation, construction, reconstruction, redesign, or reuse of streets, utilities, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and other associated public improvements as permitted by the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Ordinance; (3) the construction and/or reconstruction of various flood control and drainage facilities; and (4) the general development and upgrading of the Project Area in a manner consistent with the policies, goals and objectives of the Huntington Beach General Plan. 124 Short Term Short term negative impacts upon the general public's health and g P P 9 safety will be limited to those impacts associated with construction activities that are necessary to implement the amended Project. However, such impacts will not be threats to public health and safety because appropriate safety precautions, in accord with existing building and safety codes, shall be observed at the time of specific projects implementation. Such negative impacts may include, but not be limited to: (1) temporary traffic congestion resulting from roadway and utilities infrastructure improvement/expansion projects; (2) increased noise and air pollutant levels resulting from construction projects; and (3) temporary impediment of some pedestrian pathways during reconstruction and improvement of those same routes. The Project will not result in a risk of explosion or release of hazardous materials in the event of an accident due to the fact that implementation of the Project will follow all necessary safety precautions prescribed by all applicable City, County, State, and Federal regulations. The Project will not interfere with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. C. Mitigation Measures Long Term 1. The proposed improvements/projects can be considered mitigation measures to remedy existing poor health and safety conditions. No additional mitigation measures are recommended. Short Term 1. The use of standard safety precautions generally employed during project construction phases, which interface with the general public, shall be used as a means to mitigate potential safety hazards. Such precautions may include, but not be limited to: 125 (1) rerouting of traffic away from construction areas; (2) use of flagmen at hazardous construction zones; (3) timing of construction to take advantage of light periods of traffic; (4) use of exhaust and noise filters on construction equipment; (5) limiting construction projects which include earth moving to months of low rainfall, thereby reducing the chance of erosion; and (6) use of water applications upon graded areas during dry summer months to provide dust control. 2. Depending upon the specific project, additional mitigation measures may be required. The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency, acting as the Lead Agency, shall determine on a project-by-project basis and, in accord with this Program Environmental Impact Report, the need for additional environmental assessment. The need for additional mitigations to lessen impacts of short term construction related hazards that affect the health and safety of the general public shall be analyzed at that time. • 2. 13 PUBLIC SERVICES AND UTILITIES 2. 13. 1 Waste Water A. Existing Conditions Collection and treatment of wastewater in Huntington Beach is accomplished by a combination of City and County sewage facilities. City owned sewer lines collect wastewater from individual buildings and transport the sewage through a series of consecutively larger trunk sewer lines to the County Treatment Plant No. 2 located in the County Sanitation District's facility at 10844 Ellis Avenue in the City of Fountain Valley. The Project Area is made- up of vitrified clay sewer lines ranging about 20-30 years in age. According to the Huntington Beach Public Works Department, the Project Area sewer system is presently functioning adequately to serve existing demands, and will be 126 adequate to service any orderly development which occurs in accordance with the City's specific General Plan growth limitations. B. Impacts Long Term Since the Project Area is already developed in accordance with General Plan standards and the Project does not propose any projects which would induce large scale population or employment growth, the Project is not expected to result in the need for any new sewage systems or in substantial alterations to the existing system. However, since the Project is growth accommodating in nature, its implementation may indirectly increase the demand for waste water service within the City as growth occurs over the life of the Plan. Specific long-term impacts will have to be addressed on a project-by-project basis, as appropriate and deemed necessary by the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency, in accordance with all CEQA requirements as outlined in Section 1.1, "Introduction, Authority, and Approach, " of this document. Short Term Short term negative impacts relative to the proposed public improvements/projects will be limited to those impacts generally associated with the construction activities necessary for implementation. Such negative impacts may include, but not be limited to: (1) temporary traffic congestion resulting from construction projects; (2) increased noise and air pollutant levels resulting from construction projects; and (3) temporary impediment of some roadways and pedestrian pathways during construction. Impacts created by these situations will vary, depending upon the specific project's location, scale; and time of implementation. The Redevelopment Agency, acting as the Lead Agency, will determine, on a project-by-project basis, the need for additional environmental . assessment necessary to determine short term project impacts and the need for specific project mitigation measures. 127 No short term impacts on existing waste water system facilities are • expected. C. Mitigation Measures All mitigation measures relative to public services and utilities are recommended as conditions of Project approval. 1. All proposals for future growth accommodating projects shall be reviewed by the Lead Agency, in accord with this Program Environmental Impact -Report, to determine the need for specific project(s) environmental analysis, relative to impacts such project(s) may have upon the City's existing treatment facilities. 2. Future developers could be assessed a sewer capacity and connection fee by the appropriate regulatory agency for the future expansion of trunk lines and treatment plant facilities. 3 . Wastewater treatment facilities/distribution system improvement/expansion projects shall precede or be concurrent with all growth generating projects. 4. Methods for mitigating short term construction impacts similar to those recommended under 2. 12, Public Health and Safety, C. Mitigation Measures, should be utilized. 2. 13 .2 Water A. Existing Conditions The City's water system can be described in terms of three major components: (1) supply, including wells and purchased water; (2) storage, including reservoirs and groundwater reserves; and (3) • 128 distribution, including transmission lines and other water pipes. In general, the City provides for supply and storage facilities and those distribution pipes which transmit water from these facilities to large areas of the City. The Project Area is characterized by a number of water lines which are only 6 inches in diameter. While 6 inch water lines are considered the minimally acceptable size for single family residential neighborhoods, modern construction standards call for a minimum diameter of 8 inches for new water distribution lines since 6 inch lines are not always capable of providing needed fire flows during peak demand periods. As shown in Figure 13, Queens Lane, Barton Drive, Jacquelyn Lane, Elm Street, and portions of Oak Lane, Cypress Avenue, and Sycamore Avenue are characterized by 6 inch water lines. Furthermore, some Project Area residents must rely on private wells for their drinking water, which are typically characterized by inconsistent supply and variable quality. B. Impacts Long Term The proposed Project will not result in the need for a new water distribution system or substantial alterations to the existing systems, except as related to the proposed public improvements intended to improve the Project Area water distribution system. Since the Project is growth accommodating in nature, its implementation may increase the demand for water and water distribution services/facilities. However, due to an unknown development schedule, it is impossible to quantify those impacts at this time. Specific long term impacts will have to be addressed on a project-by-project basis, as appropriate and deemed necessary by the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency. Since the Project is a vehicle for the City of Huntington Beach to implement the goals and objectives of its General Plan, all proposed 129 improvements/projects are consistent with the Huntington Beach • General Plan. As such, all growth induced either directly or indirectly through implementation of the proposed Plan will occur as mandated by, and allowed under, the Huntington Beach General Plan. Related water distribution system expansion/improvement projects will be positive in nature and will directly benefit existing conditions of deficiency. These improvements, which will include but not be limited to those projects outlined in Appendix A of this document, shall precede or be concurrent with any growth generating projects. The amended Project will not have any significant negative impacts on the City's water supply, water channels, or ground water. It will not change the course of water channel movement, alter the- flow or quantity of ground water, affect the quality of surface water, or substantially reduce the amount of water avilable for public water supplies. Short Term Short term negative impacts relative to proposed water distribution system expansion, rehabilitation, and improvement projects will be limited to those impacts generally associated with the construction process that is necessary for specific project implementation. Such negative impacts may include, but not be limited to: (1) temporary traffic congestion resulting from water system improvement/expansion projects; (2) increased noise and air pollutant levels resulting from construction projects; and (3) temporary impediment of some roadways and pedestrian pathways during construction. Impacts created by these situations will vary, depending upon the specific project's location, scale, and time of implementation. The Redevelopment Agency, acting as the Lead Agency, will determine on a project-by-project basis the need for additional environmental assessment to assess these short term impacts and the • need for specific project mitigation measures. 130 WARNER AVE.

C. Mitigation Measures 1. All proposals for future growth accommodating projects shall be reviewed by the Lead Agency, in accordance with this Program Environmental Impact Report, to determine the need for specific project(s) environmental impact analysis relative to impacts such development may have upon the City's existing water sources and distribution facilities. 2 . Methods for mitigating short term construction impacts similar to those recommended under 2 . 12, Public Health and Safety, C. Mitigation Measures, shall be utilized. 3. Water distribution system expansion/improvement projects shall precede or be concurrent with all growth generating projects, as necessary to comply with Mitigation Measure 1. above._ Additionally, the following mitigation measures, as recommended by the California Department of Water Resources, shall be established to reduce water use, thereby reducing demands upon the existing and future distribution systems: 1. Plumbing fixtures that reduce water usage should be utilized (i.e. , low volume toilet tanks, flow control devices for faucets and shower heads) in accordance with Title 24 of the California Administrative Code. 2. The use of drought-tolerant plant species and drip irrigation systems should be encouraged in order to reduce water usage. • 3. Installation of low flush toilets in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 17921.3. 132 4 . Installation of low flow showers and faucets in accordance with California Administrative Code, Title 24, Part 6, Article 1, T20-1406F. 5. Future developers may be assessed a water capacity fee for importation and distribution facilities. Recommendations to be implemented where applicable: Interior: 6. Supply line pressure: recommend water pressure greater than 50 psi be reduced to 50 psi or less by means of a pressure-reducing valve. 7. Flush valve operated water closets: recommend 3 gallons per flush. 8. Drinking fountains: recommend installation of self-closing valves. 9. Pipe insulation: recommend all hot water lines in dwelling units be insulated to provide hot water quickly with less water use and to prevent hot pipes, from heating cold pipes. 10. Restaurants: use of water-conserving models of dishwashers or retrofitting spray emitters. Exterior: 11. Landscape with low water-consuming plants. 12. Use mulch extensively in all landscaped areas. Mulch applied to top soil will improve the water-holding capacity of the soil by reducing evaporation and soil compaction. 133 n 13 . Preserve and protect existing trees and shrubs. Established plants are often adapted to low water conditions and their use saves water needed to establish replacement vegetation. 2 . 13 . 3 Flood Control/Drainage A. Existing Conditions Storm drainage and flood control in Huntington Beach is accomplished by a combination of local and regional facilities. City streets and arterials are designed to carry certain volumes of stormwater runoff, and catch basins and storm drains are constructed underneath arterials where additional capacity is needed. Discharge from City streets and storm drains flow primarily into City or County open channels which ultimately drain into the Pacific Ocean. The National Flood Insurance Program Study (NFIP) , conducted by the Flood Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) , provides 100 year flood • elevations and delinations of the 100-500 year flood plain boundaries and 100 year floodways to assist communities in developing flood plain management measures. According to FEMA, the Project Area is located in Flood Zone B, which is an area between the limits of the 100 year flood area and the 500 year flood area, or certain areas subject to 100 year flooding with average depths of less than one foot (or where the contributing drainage area is less than one square mile) , or areas protected by levees from the base flood. The Project Area is characterized by a lack of curbs and gutters in many areas, particularly north of Mandrell Drive. Despite the presence of underground storm drainage lines along Beach Boulevard, Warner Avenue, Ash Street, and Sycamore and Cypress Avenues between Ash and Elm Streets, the lack of above-ground drainage facilities results in long-standing puddles of water which contribute to unhealthful living conditions by providing a habitat for disease carrying insects. The locations of storm drainage deficiencies • throughout the Project Area are shown in Figure 14. 134 WARNER AVE.

ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT Drainage Deficiencies Map N ///// Project Area Boundaries IF� ••••••• Locations of Streets with Inadequate Drainage Facilities SCALE - 0 200 400 feet Figure 14 As a result of the Project Area's lack of adequate above-ground storm drainage facilities, even small amounts of rainfall can cause puddling along street shoulders, becoming not only an inconvenience but also a health and safety hazard. As the streets lacking curbs and gutters typically also lack sidewalks, pedestrians are forced on to the street surface and must compete with motor vehicles for the limited street pavement space. B. Impacts Long Term No significant adverse impacts will result from anticipated drainage/flood control system improvement projects within the Project Area. The Project will not negatively change existing drainage patterns, the rate and amount of surface runoff, or the course or flow of flood waters. The Project will not expose people or property to water related hazards such as flooding or tidal waves. The drainage/flood control system improvements/projects will serve to reduce the risk of localized flooding and soil erosion in the area and, as such, represent a significant beneficial effect to the Project Area. Short Term Short term negative impacts relative to proposed drainage/flood control expansion, rehabilitation, and improvement will be primarily limited to those impacts generally associated with the construction process that is necessary for implementation. Such negative impacts may include, but not be limited to: (1) temporary traffic congestion resulting from drainage/flood control improvement/expansion projects; (2) increased noise and air pollutant levels resulting from construction projects; and (3) temporary impediment of some roadways and pedestrian pathways during construction. Impacts created by Sthese situations will vary, depending upon the specific project(s) location, scale, and time of implementation. 136 C. Mitigation Measures • 1. The proposed flood control and storm drainage improvements described in Appendix A are themselves substantial mitigation measures to lessen existing and future drainage/flood control deficiencies. 2. All improvements/projects shall be reviewed on a project-by-project basis by the Lead Agency to determine the necessity for additional environmental impact analysis with respect to significant negative long and/or short term impacts upon local and regional drainage/flood control facilities. 3 . Should such additional analysis be necessary and should said analysis prove that the proposed project(s) would cause significant negative environmental impacts to drainage/flood control facilities, appropriate mitigation measures shall be incorporated into the project(s) prior to its approval. 2 . 13.4 Solid Waste A. Existing Conditions Solid waste management involves planned programs for effectively controlling the generation, storage, collection, processing and reuse, conversion, or disposal of solid wastes in a safe, sanitary, aesthetically acceptable, environmentally sound, and economical manner. It includes all administrative, financial, environmental, legal, and planning functions as well as the operational aspects of solid waste handling necessary to achieve established objectives. Resource recovery is another element of a successful solid waste management program. This involves the reduction, separation, recovery, and conversion or recycling of solid waste from urban, industrial, and agricultural sources whereby the material and/or energy resources are recovered for subsequent use or benefit. 137 Refuse collection for the City of Huntington Beach is provided by Rainbow Disposal, located at 17121 Nichols Street in Huntington Beach, which is a private carrier under contract with the City. Current service for the Project Area consists of one residential pick-up per week on Tuesday and daily pick-ups for the Charter Centre properties. All refuse is transported to the Coyote Canyon sanitary landfill in Irvine. This landfill is approaching the end of its useful life as it nears full capacity, at which time the County will assign the City a replacement landfill. B. Impacts Although it is impossible at this time to predict future generation factors of solid waste due to the establishment of a redevelopment area (since specific types of land uses and square footages are unavailable) , the amended Project may contribute to the City's solid waste generation through .future development activity. However, future revitalization activities will be in accordance with the • City's General Plan, the Project will not have a negative impact on solid waste disposal services. C. Mitigation Measures No mitigation measures are necessary. , The City of Huntington Beach will participate with the County in the development of alternative disposal sites and methods. 2. 13 .5 Police Protection A. Existing Conditions According to the statistical division of the Huntington Beach Police Department, crime rates in the Project Area are among the highest in the City. Although the Project Area represents less than one percent of the total Citywide population, an average of about ten percent of • all Citywide homocides and assaults occur within its reporting 138 district (the 272 reporting district, which is bounded on the north by Warner Avenue, on the east by Beach Boulevard, on the south by Slater Avenue, and on the west by Gothard Street) . There were a total of 2 , 396 police calls in this reporting district for 1986 and 2, 577 police calls during 1987, representing a very high 7.6% annual increase. Even more significant is the fact that the average annual number of police calls for a reporting district in the City is about 600 calls. Therefore, the Project Area reporting district had over four times as many police calls in 1987 as the average reporting district. Reports of crime in residential areas implies security hardware deficiencies, poor physical design, obtrusive shrubbery, and deficient street lighting. Crime occurring in commercial areas implies deficiencies in the physical security of commercial buildings such as structural design, floor plan layout, landscaping, lighting, circulation systems, and parking structures. As previously mentioned, many Project Area streets have inadequate lighting • facilities. The lack of adequate street lighting coupled with the mature trees and bushes" surrounding many residential structures provides convenient concealment for burglars. Furthermore, the narrow and poorly paved streets throughout the Project Area results in patrolling problems due to an incomplete circulation system in the ;" Project Area. t The presence of graffiti often indicates the existence of juvenile delinquency and even gang-related activities. The Project Area's high crime rate and. the predominance of graffiti throughout the Area appears to verify the occurrence of juvenile related offenses. B. Impacts The proposed Project will provide funding mechanisms that can be used to help alleviate existing deficiencies and provide for future police service/facility needs as described in the City's General Plan. 139 Additionally, various circulation and infrastructural improvement projects will help to improve police access and response times. C. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures are recommended as conditions of Project approval. 1. Police services/facilities shall be expanded or modernized proportionately to keep abreast with new growth occurring within the Project Area and the City as a whole. 2. All proposals for growth accommodating projects shall be reviewed by the Lead Agency, in accordance with this Program Environmental Impact Report, to determine the need for specific project environmental impacts analysis. 3. In the event an analysis is deemed necessary and said analysis shows evidence of significant negative impacts to existing police services/facilities, appropriate mitigations shall be incorporated into the project(s) prior to project(s) development. 2. 13 .6 Fire Protection A. BXisting Conditions The Project Area is served by the Gothard Fire Station, located at 18301 Gothard Street. This fire station is manned by a battalion chief and seven full-time firefighters operating two fire engines. The average response time to fire calls is approximately 3-5 minutes. All fire hydrants in the Project Area are considered Class A hydrants, which provide the highest level of pumping capacity. All facilities appear to be adequate to meet present requirements. The Insurance Services Office (ISO) rates fire protection areas on a scale of one to ten, one being the highest rating. The ISO rating is 140 an aggregate of water availability, firefighting capacity, . communications ability, and building safety. According to the ISO rating criteria, the City of Huntington Beach has an overall rating of two. B. Impacts The proposed improvements/projects will have a positive impact upon the Project Area's fire prevention capabilities through such improvements as structural rehabilitation. Specific long term impacts upon fire protection shall be addressed on a project-by-project basis, as appropriate and deemed necessary by the Lead Agency, in accord with this Program Environmental Impact Report and the direction of all affected entities. C. Mitigation Measures 1. All growth accommodating Projects shall be reviewed on a • project-by-project basis by the Lead Agency to determine the need for specific project environmental impact analysis. 2. In the event an analysis is conducted and said analysis shows evidence of significant negative impacts to existing fire services/facilities, appropriate mitigation measures shall be incorporated into the project(s) prior to the project(s) development. 2. 13 ..7 Schools A. Existing Conditions The Project Area is served by the Ocean View Elementary School District, the Huntington Beach Union High School District, and the Coast Community College District. None of these school districts have indicated any existing deficiencies or difficulties in meeting • present demands. Although the Redevelopment Agency requested 141 specific information from all affected school districts related to existing deficiencies and needed improvements, in the form of a questionaire included in the Statement of Preparation mailed to all affected taxing agencies on November 22, 1989, the Agency has not received any responses to these requests to date. B. Impacts The Project is not aniticpated to create any significant negative impacts to any school districts since the Project Area is already developed in accordance with the City's General Plan and there are no plans for any large scale developments. The .only large scale residential development proposed for this area is the development of a former school site by the northeast corner of Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue, which could total to as many as 500 new dwelling units. Any future redevelopment activities which may directly or indirectly affect population growth in the Project Area will be undertaken in accordance with the Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The amended Redevelopment Plan would not directly cause enrollment to increase, but rather any development associated with the implementation of the General Plan could cause enrollment increases. Therefore, if the school districts experience enrollment increases, this will not be a direct result of the implementation of the amended Redevelopment Plan, but rather the long range projected growth as set forth in the Huntington Beach General Plan. The possible enrollment effects, therefore, would occur regardless of the adoption of the amended Redevelopment Plan. Although the Project could produce an indirect impact to school district enrollment levels, mitigations to any indirect negative impacts, as discussed in 0 C. Mitigation Measures of this Section, could be formulated during 142 the fiscal consultation process. If it is determined that the Project would produce a significant indirect negative impact to any school district facilities, appropriate mitigation measures would be established during this process. In the case of redevelopment projects, the State of California indirectly reimburses school districts for tax revenues lost as a result of tax increment financing. This is caused by the average daily attendance formulas of the State and the Sorrano-Preist decision. C. Mitigation Measures No mitigation measures are proposed to off-set future enrollment increases resulting from redevelopment activities in conformance with the existing land use designations and growth projections/policies as set forth in the Huntington Beach General Plan. However, as a condition of approval, the amended Redevelopment Plan should include provisions which will permit various agreements between the Agency and a school district to off-set any demonstrated impacts of enrollment increases, which might include: 1. Establishment of hold harmless or indemnification agreements, or other Agency/District cooperative agreements that can be executed any time a documented impact as defined by the California Community Redevelopment Law can be shown to exist by the school district. Documentation of the loss of revenue submitted to the Agency, along with a request by the school district to pursue such agreements, can be a part of the Agency's annual budget. Such an agreement can be considered a potential mitigation measure if and when a documented impact exists which is a result 143 of the adoption of the amended Redevelopment Plan and/or its implementation. 2. Any commitment of the Agency to mitigate school district impacts must be based upon a consummated agreement between the Agency and school district, documentation of actual impact, and justification that said impact is due to the implementation of the amended Redevelopment Plan and/or the financing mechanism permitted by law. Examples of cooperative agreements might include, but not be limited to, student housing, school impact fees, tax increment pass-through agreements, and construction of capital facilities. 2. 13.8 Utilities A. Existing Electrical Service Electrical Service to the Project Area is provided by the Southern California Edison Company. Natural Gas Natural Gas is provided to the Project Area by the Southern California Gas Company. Telephone. Service Telephone Service is provided to the Project Area by the General Telephone Company. 144 B. Impacts Long Term Electrical Service Natural Gas Telephone Service Neither the Southern California Edison Company, Southern California Gas Company, or the General Telephone Company have indicated that the Project will have any significant negative impacts upon electricity, natural gas, or telephone services. Therefore, it is not anticipated that any extension of these utilities to accommodate any future redevelopment activities, in accordance with the City's General Plan, will pose any significant negative long term impacts. Short Term • Expected negative impacts will be short term and will be associated with installation of additional distribution facilities necessary to accommodate Project Area growth. However, because of an unknown development schedule or specific project development plans, it is impossible to quantify these potential impacts at this time. However, there should be no direct negative impacts upon distribution of public utilities. C. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures are recommended as conditions of Project approval. Electrical Service 1. Future short term impacts to existing utilities, distribution • facilities, or to existing infrastructure, (e.g. , roadways, flood 145 control facilities, etc. ) shall be addressed on a • project-by-project basis, as appropriate and deemed necessary by the Lead Agency, in accord with CEQA requirements, as outlined in Section 1. 1 of this document, and the direction of all affected service purveyors. 2. Developers in the Project Area shall coordinate with the Southern California Edison Company regarding the location and phasing of required on-site electrical facilities. 3. Proposed building construction will comply with Title 24 of the California Administrative Code. 4. On-site electrical lines shall be installed underground. 5. Project planners and architects should consult with Southern California Edison regarding current energy conservation techniques. 6. Project planners and architects should also consider the use of energy-efficient architecture and landscape design concepts which will work to reduce the long-term demands for fossil fuels. Such measures should include the following: a. Architectural planning and design, to the extent feasible, should take full advantage of such concepts as natural heating and/or cooling through sun and wind exposure and solar energy collection system opportunities when practical; and b. Landscape design should be tailored, where feasible, to the use requirements of individual structures, with an intent to minimize heat gain in summer, maximize heat gain in winter, and promote air circulation for heating and cooling purposes. 146 Natural Gas Service of natural gas to the Project Area shall be in accordance with the Southern California Gas Company's policies and extension rules. These are on file with the California Public Utilities Commission. In addition, the following general mitigation measures are recommended: 1. The thermal insulation installed in walls and ceilings should meet or exceed the standards established by the State of California. 2. All buildings should be constructed in conformance with Title 24, Part 6, Division T-20, Chapter 2 of the California Administrative Code. 3. Windowless walls for western exposures and window sill orientation for southern exposures of buildings to use solar heating systems and efficient heating-cooling systems should be installed whenever feasible. 4. The use of landscaping to moderate building heat gain, such as the use of deciduous trees in parking areas and on the southern and western exposures of buildings to provide shade during the summer, yet allow maximum light and heat during the winter, is encouraged. 5. Energy conservation methods that could be readily incorporated into the Project can be conceived during the design phase of development. Consultation with Southern California Gas during the design phase will facilitate the process of adapting the Project's architectural design elements to the maximization of efficient energy use. 147 Telephone Service 1. Installation of underground telephone cables shall be encouraged to reduce visual impacts and safety hazards to the general public. 2. The General Telephone Company shall be notified prior to any construction projects commencing within the Project Area. Concerns for existing telephone service facilities within the Project Area must be considered in the planning/design phase. 2. 13.9 Recreational Facilities A. Existing Conditions Recreational and open space facilities available to Project Area residents include the following: (1) Oak View Elementary School property, which contains a playground area and basketball court; (2) Oak View Park, located on the west side of Emerald Lane one block west of the Project Area; and (3) the open space area created by the closure of Koledo Lane from the alley south of Barton Drive to the alley north of Slater Avenue. These existing facilities appear to be adequate to meet the neighborhood recreational needs of Project Area residents. B. Impacts The Project can provide the funding necessary to upgrade recreational , facilities and provide new facilities within and around the Project Area. The Project will not have any negative impacts upon existing recreational facilities. C. Mitigation Measures 1. All growth accommodating projects shall be reviewed on a project-by-project basis by the Lead Agency to determine the need 148 for specific environmental impact analysis related to the provision and maintenance of recreational facilities. 2. In the event an analysis is conducted and said analysis shows evidence of significant negative impacts to recreational facilities, appropriate mitigation measures shall be incorporated in to the project(s) prior to the project(s) development. • • 149 3.0 ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT • 3 . 1 NO PROJECT The no project alternative would, for an indeterminable period of time, prevent many of the potential side effects that could be generated from the proposed redevelopment projects, such as incremental traffic increases, noise generated, increased air comtaminants, public safety liabilities, and energy comsumption. This alternative would require that the redevelopment plan amendment action initiated by the Redevelopment Agency be terminated. If the Plan amendment were terminated, the Project Area would continue to stagnate and decline as conditions of deficiency would persist without benefit of the improvement programs proposed within the. Redevelopment .Plan. . Documentation of existing conditions of deficiency in the Project Area can be found in the Preliminary Report for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project which has Mbeen incorporated herein by reference. Without the improved financing ability proposed by this amendment, the adverse conditions in the Project Area will increase or at least remain unaddressed, thereby further contributing to a continuing decline of the Project Area, as well as negatively affecting physical, social and economic conditions in surrounding areas. The Agency proposes to alleviate existing blighting conditions, primarily by alleviating public service infrastructure deficiencies and public facility deficiencies. Agency provision of these facilities and improvements is expected to encourage and promote the rehabilitation and revitalization of allowable land uses within the Project Area and its environs. Without the proposed amendment, the Project Area will continue to be impacted by inadequate roadways, storm drain/flood control deficiencies, water facilities deficiencies, structural decline and • deterioration, impaired property investments, and a diminishing visual appearance that generally characterizes the entire Project 150 Area. Directly related to these impacts the "no project" alternative would virtually eliminate the Redevelopment Agency's ability to attain its goals and objectives as described under 1.0 Project Description, in this Report. The Agency would be disabled in its attempt to correct and mitigate conditions of blight within the City, as stated above. The City would also be constrained in its ability to implement many of the goals and objectives of its General Plan. In the final analysis, the no project alternative is not environmentally superior to the proposed Plan amendment and, therefore, should not be substituted for the Plan amendment. 3.2 . ALTERNATIVE PROJECT AREA SIZE The Project Area, which was originally approved by City Council Ordinance 2582 in November 1982, was chosen on the basis of existing characteristics and the need for redevelopment. The proposed amendment to this Project does not involve any modifications in the original Project Area boundaries. The physical, social, and economic conditions of blight currently predominate the Project Area, causing a detrimental and injurious effect on the Project Area as a whole. As an alternative to the existing Project Area boundaries, Figure 15 presents a hypothetical expansion of the Project Area to include all properties north of Slater Avenue and west of Beach Boulevard not presently within the Project Area. These properties are characterized by commercial uses, primarily retailers, along Beach Boulevard, and residential uses in the remaining properties. The addition of more residential and commercial properties to the Project Area would allow the Agency to collect additional tax increment revenues for this Project. This expansion would also allow the Agency to undertake various improvement projects to these added properties, such as residential rehabilitation, street realignment along the added portions of Beach Boulevard and Slater Avenue, and commercial improvements along Beach Boulevard. 151 IMMIX WARNER AVE.

ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT N Alternative Project Area Map WM/ PROJECT AREA BOUNDARIES SCALE 0 200 400 feet POSSIBLE EXPANDED PROJECT AREA Figure 15 In terms of environmental impacts, the expanded Project Area and the • public improvement projects associated with this larger Project Area could result in proportionately larger impacts. There would be a greater fiscal impact to affected taxing agencies as a result of the additional tax increment which the Agency could collect, although the loss of this increment would not necessarily constitute financial burden or detriment as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 33012. The possiblity of implementing housing rehabilitation projects and construction of new housing in this added area would increase the population and housing stock within the expanded Project Area. The increase in Project Area population and housing, along with improvements to Beach Boulevard and Slater Avenue, would result in larger traffic volumes within and around the Project Area, athough improvements to the surrounding circulation system could allow these primary arterials to carry a greater capacity. • Project Area noise levels would increase in the short term due to the construction phases- of various public improvements. Long term noise impacts could also be increased due to the long term growth in population, housing, and traffic anticipated with this Project expansion. Short term air quality could be impacted to a greater degree due to the inclusion of additional public improvement projects and the dispersion of dust and other suspended particulates associated with construction activities. Long term air quality could also be negatively impacted as a result of the increased traffic volumes. Land uses would remain consistent with the standards and restrictions of the Huntington Beach General Plan, as amended from time to time. The worst case scenario would be •Project Area build-out to the General Plan limits. 153 Cultural and aesthetic resources would not be negatively impacted due to the Project Area's insignificance as a historical or archeaological site. Impacts would generally be positive in nature due to the implementation of rehabilitation projects which would improve the overall visual character of the Project Area. Earth resources would not be significantly impacted due to the urbanized character of the Project Area, which would not result in the loss of agricultural land or mineral resources, and the required mitigation measures to insure structural compliance with all seismic safety regulations. Biotic resources would not be significantly impacted due to the urbanized nature of the Project Area and its insignificance as a habitat for native vegetative and -wildlife species. The construction phase of Project implementaton would result in increased consumption of energy by construction equipment. The possible increases in both residential and commercial densities resulting from Project implementation -would also result in a long term increase in electrical and gas consumption. The implementation of public protection projects for the expanded Project Area would result in positive long term impacts to the health and safety of Project Area residents and operators of businesses. The growth accommodating nature of the Project would lead to an increased demand for various public services and utilities. There would be 'an increased demand for water, sewage facilities, drainage facilities, solid waste disposal services, police and fire protection, school facilities, public utilities, and recreational facilities. The objective of Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project is allow for adequate funding of the public improvements • needed to revitalize the Project Area. This objective can be met by increasing the limitation on tax increment revenues which the Agency 154 may collect within the existing Project Area. It is not necessary to add more land to the Project Area boundaries for this purpose, and the inclusion of additional land solely for the purpose of obtaining . additional tax increments without substantial justification is not an appropriate application of the Redevelopment Law. Furthermore, some improvements to areas located outside of the Project Area boundaries, such as circulation improvements to Beach Boulevard, may be accomplished by the existing Project if it is determined that such improvements would be of benefit to the Project Area and that no other reasonable means of financing such improvements are available to the community. In the final analysis, an expansion of the existing Project Area boundaries is not appropriate since the established boundaries were chosen on the basis of existing conditions including physical deterioration, social maladjustment, and economic decline. The existing Project Area represents a well-defined neighborhood with specific revitalization needs. The properties surrounding this neighborhood differ in physical condition and, community character, and -therefore are not suitable for inclusion into the Project Area boundaries. 3.3: LIMITED REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES This alternative to the Project would be effectuated by reducing Agency activities and/or authorities within the Project Area. The effect of such a reduction in Agency activities would vary with the specific reduction. For example, limiting Agency authority to provide. housing rehabilitation loans for low and moderate income households would prevent many low and moderate income families from receiving such necessary assistance in upgrading unsound and/or unsafe residential structures. Similarly, reducing Agency funding for public protection facilities would result in the continued high crime rates that currently plague the Project Area. Inasmuch as these improvements and facilities would mitigate existing 155 deficiencies and growth related impacts, the environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the Limited Redevelopment Activities Alternative would be greater than those occuring as a result of the Project's implementation. Additionally, tax increment revenues would be severely restricted. Such restrictions or limitations would result in commensurate reductions in the Agency's ability to undertake the Redevelopment Program as contemplated by the amended Redevelopment Plan, including: (1) reductions in public improvements and facilities provided; (2) a restricted ability to eliminate conditions of deficiency; and (3) a reduced ability to implement the goals of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and to eliminate existing environmental deficiencies and problems occurring within the Project Area. In the final analysis, the Limited Redevelopment Activities Alternative is not an environmentally superior alternative to the Plan amendment and, therefore, should not be substituted for the Plan amendment. 3.4 FINANCING ALTERNATIVES The amended Redevelopment Project is made possible, in large part, by the ability of the Agency to collect tax increment revenues from the Project Area and then use these revenues to fund improvements within the Project Area and within adjacent areas where funded improvements could be of benefit to the Project Area. An alternative to the Project would be to undertake a generally similar program utilizing alternative sources of revenue other than tax increment revenues. Selection of this alternative would supplant tax increment revenues with funds from a variety of programs and sources, no single one of which would be sufficient in amount or breadth of purpose to accomplish the activities contemplated by the Project. These • alternative sources include community facilities districts or 156 assessment districts, gas tax funds, federal loans and grants, state loans and grants, and funds borrowed from the City of Huntington Beach. The proposed Redevelopment Plan authorizes the Agency to utilize all of the above financing sources and programs in order to effect redevelopment of the Project Area. Moreover, Redevelopment Law requires that the Agency give consideration to alternative financing sources when it proposes to provide public facilities and improvements with tax increment revenues, in effect causing the examination of alternative financing sources throughout the term of the Project. The financing alternative would be environmentally inferior to the amended Redevelopment Plan. There currently exists no other sufficient financing vehicles available to the City which would provide for the elimination of existing deficiencies in the Project Area, much less the additional deficiencies which would occur as the • result of incremental and sporadic development and growth, which could occur as the result of redevelopment. Moreover, there is no assurance that the alternative financing vehicles which are presently available will remain available over the projected life of the amended Plan. Finally, tax increment revenues may be used for some mitigation activities for which there are simply no alternative financial resources available or expected to become available in the foreseeable future. Consequently, there is a higher probability that under this scenario, existing deficiencies would continue without abatement or mitigation, and future impacts of sporadic development would not be adequately mitigated. In the final analysis, the financing alternative is not environmentally superior to the Project and, therefore, should not be substituted for the Project. 157 4 . 0 TOPICAL ISSUES 4. 1 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOCAL SHORT TERM USE OF MAN'S ENVIRONMENT AND THE MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF LONG TERM PRODUCTIVITY The amended Redevelopment Plan is a major step in implementing the Huntington Beach General Plan, which has been designed to provide the framework for the harmonious, coordinated, and ecologically sound long range development of the City. The General Plan determines a cause for growth and change by establishing well defined community development policies, including the policy of creating and maintaining a high quality environment within the City. The amended Redevelopment Plan, which provides for a land use pattern that conforms to the City's General Plan, is environmentally desirable and economically productive. The implementation of the amended Redevelopment Plan should involve no major cumulative and • long term significant adverse impacts on the environment. As land is used for residential and commercial purposes, however, there are almost always unavoidable adverse environmental impacts, some of which have long term negative effects. The most significant impacts are increased air pollution, increased noise levels, and increased traffic volumes. Increases in traffic volumes and noise levels will be a continuing long term effect of any future growth within the Project Area. However, mitigation measures, as stipulated within Section 2.0 of this Report, should reduce the above noted impacts resulting from the Project to an acceptable level. 4.2 IRREVERSIBLE AND/OR UNAVOIDABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES WHICH WOULD BE INVOLVED IN THE PROPOSED ACTION, SHOULD IT BE IMPLEMENTED If the amended Redevelopment Plan is effectively implemented, the following irreversible and/or unavoidable environmental changes would , be involved. • 158 a) The development and maintenance of streets, storm drains, and other public facilities, as proposed in the amended Plan, will involve the irreversible consumption of natural resources in the form of construction materials, water, and energy sources. Money and manpower will be expended to develop and maintain these facilities. Private construction projects will also require the consumption of such resources. b) The development of individual parcels in accordance with land uses designated in the amended Plan will, for all intents and purposes, eliminate the possibility of development .for other land uses. c) A commitment of economic and manpower resources will be required for implementation of the Project. d) Building materials, including forest and mineral products, will be permanently committed in construction of the proposed Project and modification of existing public utilities. e) Expenditures of money, manpower, and materials will be made to maintain adequate levels of public service to the greater community while those services .are undergoing disruption and modification within the Project Area. f) Overall, there shall be increases in the following areas due to the growth accommodating nature of the amended Redevelopment Project: o increase in local traffic; o increase in the ambient noise level; o exposure of additional people and structures to existing geologic hazards; o acceleration of population and housing growth in accord with the City of Huntington Beach General Plan. 159 Incorporation of recommended mitigation measures contained within this Report will insure that all irreversible and/or unavoidable environmental impacts, as described above, can be adequately mitigated to a level of insignificance. It is the purpose of the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency to pursue the Project regardless of the above mentioned irreversible and/or unavoidable environmental changes because the Project is necessary to reduce and/or eliminate existing conditions of deficiency within the Project Area and the City as a whole. These deficient conditions include: (1) lack of adequate storm drainage facilities; (2) lack of adequate water distribution infrastructure; (3) inadequate circulation/roadway network; (4) lack of adequate pedestrian amenities, e.g. , sidewalks, signage, landscaping, parks, etc. , and (5) economic stagnation. Further description of the Project Area's physical, social and economic deficiencies are described within the Preliminary Report on Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Proms, incorporated herein by reference. A copy of this Report is available for public review at the Huntington Beach City Clerk's office located at 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648. 4.3 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS Other redevelopment projects in the City of Huntington Beach, which together or separately could have a cumulative impact on the environmental setting of the City, include the following: (1) the Huntington Center Redevelopment Project, located by the intersection of Beach Boulevard and the San Diego Freeway; (2) the Main-Pier Redevelopment Project, located along Pacific Coast Highway between Golden West Street and Beach Boulevard; (3) the Talbert-Beach Redevelopment Project, located between Talbert Avenue and Ellis Avenue west of Beach Boulevard; and (4) the Yorktown-Lake Redevelopment Project, located between Yorktown Avenue and Utica Street east of Main Street. The only major development proposal 160 within the vicinity of the Project Area involves a former school site • by the northeast corner of Warner Avenue and Beach Boulevard. The residential development proposed for this site could involve up to 500 dwelling units. Since the Oakview Redevelopment Project proposes a maximum of only 100 new dwelling units, the most significant population impact to this area would be the development of this former school site. Due to the fact that this is a Program EIR prepared for the adoption of an amended Redevelopment Plan, every Section of this Report discusses the cumulative impacts of this Project over the full life of the Redevelopment Plan. Therefore, the overall intent of the amended Redevelopment Plan and the overriding cause for its adoption is to ensure orderly and well planned growth within the Project Area, and the City as a whole, in accord with the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and all other applicable City, County, State, and Federal laws and guidelines. . Loss of Open Space: The potential loss of open space has a direct impact on several factors: a. Aesthetics; b. Vegetation and Wildlife Resources; and C. Recreation Loss of open space is most significant when a project site or project area has not experienced a high degree of previous development or disturbance. Regional projects being developed or proposed for undeveloped areas and/or minimally developed areas have the potential to degrade visual quality, vegetation, wildlife and recreational resources of the region. The improvements/projects proposed within the amended Plan should not contribute significantly to negative cumulative impacts upon regional vegetation, wildlife, aesthetic, or recreational resources. These • proposed projects will provide positive impacts upon the City's 161 aesthetic, vegetative and recreational resources through • implementation of landscape and parks development projects. Air Ouality: Cumulative air quality degradation in the South Coast Air Basin may result, although the degree of degradation cannot be .quantified at this time, from the implementation of all or part of the improvements listed in this Report. The cumulative effect of additional traffic movements in the Project Area will lead to an eventual decrease in air quality. Additionally, grading and construction activities generate emissions and particulates which will contribute to the temporary degradation of air quality. Additional traffic generated by the Project would be the most significant source of air pollution. Vehicular emissions would consist of carbon monoxide, particulates, nitrogen oxides, and reactive hydrocarbons. Various improvements/projects will add to cumulative air pollutant generation. The reader should refer to the Air Quality section of this EIR for additional information concerning Project Area air quality. Noise: The most significant source of noise resulting from cumulative regional development will be vehicular traffic. Automobile and truck traffic is likely to increase although the degree of increase cannot be quantified at this time. Land uses located adjacent to major roadways may be exposed to increased noise levels. Noise sensitive land uses that are located near roadways experiencing traffic volume increases may be impacted. However, noise generated either directly or indirectly from the Project should be insignificant on a cumulative regional level. Traffic and Circulation: Regional population increases and growth in housing and employment opportunities will generate additional increases in vehicular traffic along Beach Boulevard, Warner Avenue, and Slater Avenue, as well as local and arterial streets within the City. 162 Local transportation corridors and circulation will be cumulatively affected by Project implementation. At this point in the planning process, it is not possible to accurately forecast specific increases in total vehicle trips per day. Roadway improvement projects as outlined in the amended Plan will serve to lessen impacts. As discussed in Section 2 . 3, Traffic and Circulation, buildout of properties in the Project Area will incrementally increase traffic on major arterials which could impact residents of Huntington Beach and surrounding communities. Although the cumulative traffic impacts .in Huntington Beach are anticipated to be low to moderate, cumulative impacts from Project Area buildout in Huntington Beach could be significant. However, if recommended mitigation measures outlined within this EIR and future reports are implemented, the cumulative traffic impact of related projects can be mitigated to a level of regional insignificance. Water Quality: Water quality in regional aquifers can be expected to • decrease as regional development expands. Urban pollutants carried in surface water can pollute groundwater -systems. Redevelopment activity may contribute to cumulative water quality impacts although the degree .of degradation cannot be specifically quanitified at this time. Water: Water is a limited resource in the region. Cumulative demand from regional development will continue to impact current water sources, although the proposed improvements/projects, as outlined in this Report, will generate significant negative impacts. Additionally, implementation of the Project will lead to an increase in the total paved surfaces which will lessen the amount of previous surfaces available for rain water percolation. Sewage: Regional development will require that sewage treatment and collection facilities be expanded as, needed; these requirements are currently mitigated at the local level. 163 Public Services: Cumulative regional development will necessitate expansion of public services and facilities to presently indeterminable levels. Police and fire services and public works facilities will face increasing pressure for expansion. Any increased growth in Huntington Beach, indirectly created by implementation of the amended Redevelopment Plan, will require expansion of police and fire protection services. This could result in a cumulative reduction in the overall effectiveness of these services unless additional means of service are procurred. However, the cumulative fiscal impact would be reduced -to a manageable level by means of the redevelopment process, which provides the means for funding both capital facilities and operational needs. 4.4 GROWTH INDUCING IMPACTS Adoption of the amended Redevelopment Plan will not directly result in additional growth within the Project Area, beyond that previously analyzed in the environmental impact report prepared for the City's General Plan, since the Project itself is merely a vehicle which allows goals and objectives of the Huntington Beach General Plan to be effectively implemented in a more orderly manner. In that the Redevelopment Plan allows for orderly development in accordance with the land use regulations of the City's General Plan, the Redevelopment Project is growth accommodating rather than growth inducing. The environmental impact analysis previously prepared for the City's adopted General Plan, in accordance with State law, evaluated future impacts of the City's development to the levels approved under the City's adopted General Plan. No significant negative impacts were found in that Report. 4.5 EFFECTS FOUND NOT TO BE SIGNIFICANT The amended Redevelopment Plan will not generate more extensive growth than is currently prescribed under the City's General Plan, although it could accommodate future growth that is permitted under the General Plan growth limitations. Anticipated negative impacts 164 resulting from Project implementation are considered acceptable • results of urbanization, consistent with and necessary to ensure effective implementation of the City's General Plan. Positive impacts to the Project Area and the City as a whole will result from implementation of the amended Project in the form of improved infrastructure, improved housing, and economic development. All insignificant negative impacts resulting from Project implementation have been previously discussed in this Report. • 165 J 5.0 PREPARERS AND CONTRIBUTORS TO THIS DOCUMENT • This Environmental Impact Report was prepared under contract to the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency by Urban Futures, Incorporated.

PROJECT TITLE: Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project PROJECT APPLICANT, IF ANY: none DATE: November 8, 1988 Signature n Fut v6s, Inc. Title-Advisors to the Redevelopment Agency Telephone (714) 738-4277 Reference: California Administrative Code, Title 14, Sections 15035.7, 15054.3, 15066(c) . • • PROJECT DESCRIPTION AMENDMENT NO. ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT This Project involves the adoption and implementation of Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project located in the City of Huntington Beach (see attached Project Area map) . The proposed Project Area, consisting of approximately 68 acres, is predominately urbanized with commercial and residential land uses and community facilities. The land uses permitted in the proposed Project Area will be those permitted by the Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, as amended from time to time. The density, intensity and other development regulations also will be those contained in the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Although these permitted land uses have already been subjected to CEQA review when the General Plan was adopted, this EIR will investigate the impacts of buildout under the current General Plan since the amended Redevelopment Project may hasten and possibly intensify the development that might otherwise occur. The purpose of this amended Redevelopment Project is to assist in the elimination of those conditions within the Project Area that are conducive to blight. The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency will undertake a variety of activities designed to eliminate the existing blighting conditions. These activities and their impacts, ,along with the impacts of buildout, will be the main focus of the environmental review process. The activities of the Agency projected at this time are listed below. These activities will be discussed in further detail in the draft EIR. 1. The construction and reconstruction of streets, which may include resurfacing, restriping, realignment, widening, and improved signalization. 2. The construction, reconstruction, and improvement of other public works, including parking, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, sewers, storm drains, and water mains. 3 . Assistance in land purchase and assembly for development projects. 4. Rehabilitate deteriorated residential and commercial structures. 5. Encourage existing owners, businesses and tenants within the Project Area to participate in the redevelopment activities. 6. Landscaping, installation of pedestrian and transit amenities, historic renovation, visual enhancement of .commercial structures, and other beautification activities. Most of the environmental impacts of these activities are projected to be beneficial rather than adverse. However, some short-term adverse impacts are projected due to the public and private construction activities, such as dust, noise, and traffic disruptions. In addition, some long-term impacts may occur from the hastened and intensified buildout, such as increased traffic, but these will ultimately be mitigated to an insignificant level by the activities listed above, resulting in a net improvement relative to the existing conditions. i WARNER AVE ZI FIR D Z- SYCALIOPIE AVE BELSiT,, s N W CYPRESS AVE CYPRESS i ERIN t ] \J t Y Q 1 MANDRELL DR KRISTIN CR.

It is our understanding that the subject amendment is for the purpose of increasing the total amount of tax increment which can be utilized within the Oakview Redevelopment Project Area , and that the amendment does not increase the size of the existing Project Area nor does it chtinge its boundaries. In general terms, we understand that such an increase in spending limits will potentially ..::increase the level and magnitude of redevelopment activities within the Oakview Redevelopment Project Area. The increased level of activities will necessarily create new residential and non-residential development opportunities bringing with them growth to the area and the potential for im- pact upon our District ' s services and facilities in the Hun- tington Beach area . Unfortunately , in reviewing the list of proposed activities contained in the Project Description, there was not enough detail provided regarding specific projects for us to be able to determine the total magnitude of the impacts upon our District. What is apparent, however,. is that our District will be impacted by the following factors: • 1 . Transportation/Circulation 2 . Population 3 . Housing ORANGE COAST COLLEGE GOLDEN WEST COLLEGE COASTLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE KOCE-Tv(50) PBS Chancellor (714)432-5813 Education Services (714)432.5539 Data Services (714)432.5865 Business Affairs (714)432.5745 Human Resources (714)432-5620 Purchasing (714)432-5750 Community Relations (714)432-5609 Physical Facilities Planning (714)432.5707 Legal Services (714)432-5632 Board of Trustees (714)432-5660 Facsimile (714)432-5177 Mr. Paul Cook Executive Director OFFICE OF THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR December 21, 1988 Page 2 4 . Public -health and safety 5. Public services and utilities Within these areas of concern, the Environmental Impact Report should address the nature and scope of any impact, both environ- mental and financial , upon our District ' s services and facilities. Likewise, the impact of new or altered public serv- ices should also be addressed. Examples of specific concerns that require mitigation include: 1. Ease of access to our various sites via public transportation. The EIR should address mitigation measures to insure cooperative planning efforts with the Orange County Transit District. 2 . Projected changes in the demographic make-up or size of the population that would in any way affect the adult population (17 and older) on either a short- or long- term basis and consequently, the District ' s enrollment. 3 . Additional housing starts or reconfiguration of housing types that would allow for increased population growth and subsequent impact upon the District. 4 .- Changes in public services and utilities, such as fire and police, roads, recreational facilities, etc. The EIR should identify the impact and mitigation measures for all areas of public services and utilities. 5. Growth in the areas of commercial , industrial and of- fice uses have direct impact upon the District ' s programs , services and enrollments because of our training and vocational offerings. The concerns mentioned above do not necessarily reflect a com- prehensive list, but they should serve to assist your staff in the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for these projects. As noted, our District is particularly concerned with any growth or change in population as the result of residential or non- residential development. Mr. Paul Cook Executive Director OFFICE OF THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR December 21, 1988 Page 3 Clearly, the impact of these concerns will require mitigation as it relates to capital facility needs, staffing and access to our educational programs. Although not required by CEQA, the implications and impacts of the amendment may particularly have a financial burden or detri- ment on the District, as defined by Section 33012 of the Califor- nia Health and Safety Code, and it is our opinion that the draft EIR should address this issue. Please contact me if you need clarification on any of the issues and concerns raised in this letter. The District is certainly looking forward. to review of the EIR and appreciates being provided the opportunity to have our concerns addressed in this document. Sincerely, C. M.

The response of the Huntington Beach Union High School District to the proposed project is that of concern for future school impacts. The Project Description does not adequately describe what school impacts might be caused. We are aware that up to 20% of tax increment must .be utilized for housing. Please ensure that school impacts are adequately addressed in the EIR. Very truly yours, Alan R.

Chapman Ave. , Suite 106 Fullerton, CA 92631 Attention: Craig Chalfant Subject: EIR - Amendment No. One, .Oakview Redevelopment Project This letter is not to be interpreted as a contractual commitment to serve the proposed project, but only as an information service. Its intent is to notify you that the Southern California Gas Company has facilities in the area where the above named project is proposed. Gas service to the project could be served from an existing main as shown on the attached atlas sheet without any significant impact on the environment. The service would be in accordance with the . company's policies and extension rules on file with the California Public Utilities Commission at the time contractual arrangements are made. The availability of natural gas service, as set forth in this letter, is based upon present conditions of gas supply and regulatory policies. As a public utility, the Southern California Gas Company is under the jurisdiction of the federal regulatory agencies. Should these agencies take any action which affects gas supply or the condi tion under which service is available, gas service will be provided in accordance with revised conditions. Residential (System Area Average) Yearly Single-family 1095 therms/year/dwelling unit Multi-family 4 or less units 640 therms/year/dwelling unit Multi-family 5 or more units 580 therms/year/dwelling unit These estimates are based on gas consumption in residential units served by Southern California Gas Company during 1975 and it should not be implied that any particular home, apartment or tract of homes will use these amounts of energy. This is particularly true due to the State's insulation requirements and consumers' efforts toward energy conservation. Estimates of gas usage for non-residential projects are developed . on an individual basis and are obtained from a Market Services Staff representative by calling (714)634-3173. We have developed several programs which are available, upon request, to provide assistance in selecting the most energy efficient appliances or systems for a particular project.

APPENDIX F RESPONSES TO DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT AND AGENCY'S RESPONSE TO THOSE, COMMENTS COMMENTS ON DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT AND THE AGENCY'S RESPONSES TO THOSE COMMENTS During the 45 day CEQA review period, the Draft Environmental Impact Report was made available to all affected taxing entities, responsible environmental agencies, and all interested organizations and individuals for their review and comments. The following agencies, groups and/or individuals submitted written comments within the review period timeframe on the Draft Environmental Impact Report on Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project: A. Orange County Transit District 1. So noted. B. Huntington Beach Union High School District • 1. While it is true that any redevelopment project has the potential to increase school enrollments, the intent of this Amendment is merely to provide the Redevelopment Agency with sufficient tax increment revenues to implement the proposed public improvements, which focus on housing rehabilitation and infrastructure improvements. It is not the intent of this Amendment to induce growth, and the General Plan land use restrictions on Project Area properties will not allow for substantial population growth. 2. So noted. 3. Page 57 states that the Project is anticipated to generate a maximum of 100 new dwelling units throughout the life of the Plan, which is 40 years from the date of adoption of the Amendment. • 4. The EIR clearly states that the Project could result in a maximum of 100 new dwelling units within the Project Area. 1 5. The paragraph in question on page 141 states that none of the school districts have indicated any existing deficiencies or difficulties in meeting present demands and that none of the school districts have responded to the questionaire sent to all affected taxing entities on November 22, 1988. The EIR does not state that by failure to return these questionaires, it may be assumed that these schools will not suffer. The EIR merely states that the Agency has not been made aware of any existing deficiencies. The December 9, 1988 letter by Alan Burns is quoted below in its entirety: "Dear Mr. Chalfant: I have just recently been provided with a copy of the Notice of Preparation for an EIR from my client. The response of the Huntington Beach Union High School District to the proposed project is that of concern for Mfuture school impacts. The Project Description does not adequately describe what school.. impacts might be caused. We are aware that up to 20% of tax increment must be utilized for housing. Please ensure that school impacts are adequately addressed in the EIR. Very truly yours, Alan R. Burns" 6. This statement is made in reference to the former school site at the northeast corner of Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue, which is not within the Project -Area. • 7.

Existing stops are located at: - Southbound Beach Boulevard/Farside Warner Avenue - Southbound Beach Boulevard/Farside Cypress Avenue - Westbound Slater Avenue/Nearside Queens Lane - Eastbound Warner Avenue/Nearside Oak Lane • - Eastbound Warner Avenue/Nearside Beach Boulevard. • In order to ensure accessibility to the available transit services for residents and visitors of future redevelopment projects, the following transit amenities should be incorporated into future plans for this area: - A bus turnout, if determined:..by the City Traffic Engineer to be necessary based on roadway cross section, travel volumes or speeds, should; be provided at each stop location. The area adjacent to each turnout should include a paved passenger waiting area complete with a bus shelter and bench. A paved, lighted and handicapped accessible pedestrian accessway should be provided between each stop and the project buildings . A concrete bus pad sufficient to support the weight of a bus (see OCTD' s Design Guidelines for Bus Facilities) may have to be provided at each transit stop. This would be necessary assuming the material used to construct Beach Boulevard, Slater Avenue and Warner Avenue would be insufficient to support continued transit use of the bus stop. 77222 Acacaa Parkv.a iP.0.

CRAIG CHALFANT URBAN FUTURES 801 East Chapman Ave. Fullerton, CA 92631 Re: Response of the Huntington Beach Union High School District to Draft E.I.R. for Oakview Amendment Dear Mr. Chalfant: Our comments to the draft E.I.R. are as follows: • 1. On page 9 you recognize that the project's implementation does have the potential to produce increased school enrollment. 2. On page 39 you acknowledge that 20% of the tax increment must be set-aside to improve and increase the low/moderate income housing supply. 3. On page 57 you acknowledge that the project will result in an increase . in the City's housing stock and may possibly create 320 new jobs (which also may impact the schools) . 4. On page 58 you admit that there will be at least the addition of 100 new housing units. 5. On page 141 you noted that the schools did not return a questionaire which allowed them to identify deficiencies. You stated that by failure to return the questionaire, it may be assumed that these schools will not suffer. I do wish to invite your attention to the letter dated December 9, 1988 that is at the end of the E.I.R: in which I addressed these issues on behalf of the Huntington Beach Union High School District. 6. On page 142 you mentioned the possibility of 500 new homes. Mr. Craig Chalfant March 23, 1989 7. On pages 143 and 144 you appropriately noted that hold-harlmess agreements and pass-throughs might be appropriate for. school districts. The District requests that you amplify on these issues and respond to these comments as part of the final E.I.R. certification process. We are most interested in attempting to analyze the impacts of this project on the District. Very truly yours, Alan R. Burns ARB:cah 2 - i i 22 RESOLUTION NO.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH ADOPTING AN AMENDMENT TO THE I REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AS THE OFFICIAL REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR SAID PROJECT WHEREAS, the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") has formulated, prepared and approved a proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Oakview Redevelopment Project (the "Redevelopment Project") and has recommended that the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach ("City Council") approve and adopt said Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan; and The Planning Commission of the City of Huntington Beach has submitted to the City Council its Report and Recommendation on the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan finding that the �lRedevelopment Plan, as amended, is in conformity with the General 1 Plan of the City of Huntington Beach and has recommended approval of the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan; and The Agency has adopted Rules Governing Participation and Reentry Preferences for Property Owners, Operators of Businesses and Tenants within the Project Area; and The Agency has adopted the State Relocation Guidelines (Title 25 California Administration Code §6000 et seg. ) as the method of plan for the relocation of persons, families and businesses from the Project Area, the payment of relocation benefits and the giving of relocation assistance to such persons, families and businesses ; and The Agency has submitted the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan and its Report thereon to the City Council; and 01 The Agency has consulted with property owners and businesses within the Project Area and taxing agencies which levy -1- ll taxes, or for which taxes are levied, on property in the Project Area; and The Agency and this City Council have approved and adopted a Final EIR for the adoption of the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan and have certified as to their review and consideration thereof in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State and local guidelines and regulations adopted pursuant thereto; and A joint public hearing has been fully noticed and held by the Agency and the City Council as required by law, all objections have been heard and passed upon by this City Council, the Agency and Council have received written and oral testimony concerning the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan and have duly considered all thereof and the proceedings for the adoption of the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan have been duly conducted and completed as provided by law. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH does hereby ordain as follows : SECTION 1• The purposes and intent of this City Council with respect to the Project Area are to accomplish to the greatest extent feasible the following: (a) To eliminate blighting influences that persist in the Project Area, including deteriorating buildings, incompatible and uneconomic land uses, inadequate public improvements, obsolete structures, and other physical, economic and social deficiencies; improve the overall appearance of. streets, parking areas and other facilities, public and private; and assure that all buildings are -2- safe for persons to occupy. .l (b) To prevent recurrence of blighting conditions within the Project Area. (c) To encourage existing owners, businesses and tenants within the Project Area to participate in the redevelopment of the Project Area and to provide reentry preferences to such persons; to encourage and ensure the development of the Project Area in the manner set forth in the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan; and to provide for the relocation of any residents, if any, displaced by the effectuation of the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment_ Plan. (d) To improve and construct or provide for the construction of public facilities, roads, curbs, gutters, street lights, storm drains, and other public improvements and to improve the quality of the environment in the Project Area to the benefit of the Project Area and the general public as a whole. (e) To encourage and foster the economic revitalization of the Project Area by protecting and promoting the sound development and redevelopment of the Project Area and by replanning, redesigning, or developing portions of the Project Area which are stagnant or improperly utilized because of the lack of adequate utilities and because of other causes. (f) To provide adequate parcels and required public improvements so as to encourage new construction by private enterprise, thereby providing the City of Huntington Beach with an improved economic base. • (g) To mitigate development limitations and environmental deficiencies which have resulted in the lack of proper utilization -3- of the Project Area to such an extent that it constitutes a serious physical, social, and economic burden on the community which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting alone. (h) To improve and provide adequate public improvements, _ public facilities, open spaces, and utilities where such deficiencies are adversely affecting the Project Area and which cannot be remedied by private or governmental action without redevelopment. (i) To provide construction and employment opportunities in the development of these facilities and by provding employment opportunities in the operation of the proposed commercial and office facilities. .i (j ) To establish development criteria and controls for the permitted uses within the Project Area in accordance with modern and competitive development practices, thus assuring the highest design standards and environmental quality. (k) To expand the commercial base of the community through the promotion of new and continuing private sector investment in the Project Area. (1) To provide opportunities and mechanisms to increase sales taxes, business licenses, and other sources of revenue to the City. (m) To provide opportunities to increase and improve the City' s supply of housing on a City wide basis, including housing opportunities for low and moderate income households. SECTION 2 • The City Council hereby finds and determines that: -4- 1 (a) The Project Area is a predominately urbanized area • which is a blighted area, the redevelopment of which is necessary to effectuate the public purposes declared in the Community Redevelopment Law of the State of California (Health and Safety Code §33000 et seq. ) and specifically that the Project Area is characterized by the existence of buildings and structures, used or intended to be used for living, commercial, industrial, or other purposes, or any combination of such uses, which are unfit or unsafe to occupy for such purposes and are conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, and crime because of any one or a combination of the following factors:. (1) defective design and character of physical construction; •� (2) faulty interior arrangement and exterior spacing; (3) high density of population and overcrowding; (4) inadequate provision for ventilation, light, sanitation, open spaces, and recreation facilities; and (5) age, obsolescence, deterioration, dilapidation, mixed character, or shifting of uses; The Project Area is further characterized by properties which suffer from economic dislocation, deterioration, or disuse because of one or more of the following factors; (1) the subdividing and sale of lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate size for proper usefulness and development; • (2) the laying out of lots in disregard of the contours and other topography or physical -5- characteristics of the ground and surrounding .l, conditions; (3) the existence of inadequate q public improvements, public facilities, open spaces, and utilities which cannot be remedied by private or governmental action without redevelopment; and (4) the prevalence of depreciated values, impaired investments, and social and economic maladjustment. It is further found and determined that such conditions are causing and will increasingly cause a reduction of, or lack of, proper utilization of the area to such an extent that it constitutes a serious physical, social or economic burden on the community which • cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting alone. This finding is based in part on the fact that governmental action available to the City without redevelopment would be insufficient to cause any significant correction of the blighting conditions, and that the nature and costs of the public improvements are beyond the capacity of the City and cannot be undertaken or borne by private enterprise, acting alone or in concert with available governmental action. (b) The implementation of the Redevelopment Plan, as amended, will redevelop the Project Area in conformity with the purposes and policies of the Community Redevelopment Law of the State of California in the interests of the public peace, health, safety, and welfare of the City of Huntington Beach. This finding • is based upon the fact that redevelopment of the Project Area will implement the objectives of the Community Redevelopment Law by -6- OF aiding in the elimination and correction of the conditions of blight, providing for planning, development, redesign, clearance, reconstruction or rehabilitation of properties which need improvement, and providing for higher economic utilization of potentially useful land. (c) The adoption and carrying out of the Redevelopment Plan, as amended, is economically sound and feasible. This finding is based in part on the fact that the Agency' s Report to the City Council discusses and demonstrates the economic soundness and feasibility of the Redevelopment Plan and undertakings pursuant thereto. (d) The Redevelopment Plan, as amended, conforms to the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach. This finding is based in part on the finding of the Planning Commission that the •� Redevelopment Plan conforms to the General Plan for the City of Huntington Beach. (e) The condemnation of real property in designated areas is necessary to the execution of the Redevelopment Plan, as amended, and adequate provisions have been made for payment for property to be acquired as provided. (f) The Agency has a feasible method or plan for the relocation of families and persons to be temporarily or permanently displaced from housing facilities in the Project Area. The provisions of §§7260 to 7276 of the California Government Code would be applicable in the event relocation would occur due to the implementation by the Agency of the Redevelopment Plan. The City • Council finds and determines that the provision of relocation assistance according to law constitutes a feasible method for -7- . relocation. (g) There are or are being provided in the Project Area or in other areas not generally less desirable in regard to public utilities and public and commercial facilities and at rents or prices within the financial means of the families and persons displaced from the Project Area, if any, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings equal in number to the number of and available to such displaced families and persons and reasonably accessible to their places of employment. This finding is based upon the fact that no person or family will be required by the Agency to move from any dwelling unit until suitable replacement housing is available. (h) Inclusion within the Project Area of any lands, buildings or improvements which are not detrimental to the public ' health, safety or welfare is necessary for the effective redevelopment of the area of which they are a part; and any such area included is necessary for effective redevelopment of the Project Area and is not included for the purpose of obtaining the allocation of tax increment revenues from such area pursuant to §33670 of the Community Redevelopment Law without other substantial justification for its inclusion. This finding is based in part upon the fact that the boundaries of the Project Area were chosen as a unified and consistent whole to include lands that were underutilized because of blighting influences, or affected by the existence of blighting influences, and land uses significantly contributing to the conditions of blight, whose inclusion is necessary to accomplish the objective of the Redevelopment Plan. • (i) The elimination of blight and redevelopment of the Project Area cannot be reasonably expected to be accomplished by -8- •� private enterprise acting alone without the aid and assistance of the Agency. This finding is based upon the existence of blighting influences, including without limitation the lack of adequate public improvements and facilities, structural deficiencies and other indications of blight more fully enumerated in the record, and the infeasibility due to cost of requiring individuals (by means of assessments or otherwise) to eradicate or significantly alleviate existing deficiencies in public improvements and facilities and the inability and inadequacy of other governmental programs and financing mechanisms to eliminate the blighting conditions. (j ) The provision of low and moderate income housing outside the Project Area will be of benefit to the Project. (k) The effect of tax increment financing will not cause •I significant financial burden or detriment on any taxing agency I deriving revenues from the Project Area. This finding is based in part upon the analysis contained in the Agency' s Report to the City Council . SECTION 3 • In order to implement and facilitate the effectuation of the Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan hereby approved and adopted, it is found and determined that certain official actions must be taken by the City Council with reference, among other things, to changes in zoning, the vacating and removal of the streets, alleys, and other public ways, the establishment of new street patterns, the location and relocation of sewer and water mains and other public facilities, and other public action, and accordingly, the City Council hereby: (a) Declares its intention to undertake and complete any -9- --. ..- -- - -------- proceedings necessary to be carried out by the City of Huntington •1 Beach under the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan, as amended. (b) Requests the various officials, departments, boards, commissions, and agencies of the City of Huntington Beach having administrative responsibilities with respect to the Project likewise to cooperate to such end and to exercise their respective functions and powers in a manner consistent with the Redevelopment Plan, as amended. SECTION 4 • The City Council is satisfied that permanent housing facilities will be available within three (3) years from the time occupants of the Project Area are displaced, if any, and that pending the development of such facilities there will be available to such displaced occupants adequate temporary housing facilities at rents comparable to those in the City of Huntington Beach at the time of their displacement. No persons or families of low and moderate income shall be displaced from residences unless and until there is a suitable housing unit available and ready for occupancy by such displaced person or family at rents comparable to those at the time of their displacement. Such housing units shall be suitable to the needs of such displaced persons or families and must be decent, safe, sanitary and otherwise standard dwellings . The Agency shall not displace such person or family until such housing units are available and ready for occupancy. SECTION 5 • Any written objections to the Redevelopment Plan filed with • the City Clerk of the City of Huntington Beach before the hour set for hearing and all oral objections presented to the City Council at -10- the hearing having been considered are hereby overruled. SECTION 6 • The proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Oakview Redevelopment Project, the maps contained therein and such other reports as are incorporated therein by reference, having been duly reviewed and considered, is hereby approved, adopted and designated as the official "Redevelopment Plan for the Oakview Redevelopment Project, " and is hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof as in fully set forth at length herein, three copies of which are hereby directed to be on file with the City Clerk. SECTION 7 • If any part of this Ordinance or the Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan which it approves is held to be invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance or of the Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan, and this City Council hereby declares that it would have passed the remainder of this Ordinance or approved the remainder of the Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan if such invalid portion thereof has been deleted. SECTION 8 • The City Clerk is hereby directed to send a certified copy of this Ordinance to the Agency, and the Agency is hereby vested with the responsibility for carrying out the Redevelopment Plan, as amended. SECTION 9 : • The City Clerk is hereby directed to record within thirty (30) days from the adoption of this Ordinance with the County -11- ------------- Recorder of the County of Orange a description of the land within the Project Area and a statement that the proceedings for the I redevelopment of the Project Area have been instituted under the California Community Redevelopment Law. The Agency is hereby directed to effectuate recordation in compliance with the provisions of §27295 of the Government Code to the extent applicable. SECTION 10 : The Building Department of the City of Huntington Beach is hereby directed for a period of two (2) years after the effective date of this Ordinance to advise all applicants for building permits within the Project Area that the site for which a building permit is sought for the construction of buildings or for other improvements is within a Redevelopment Project Area. • SECTION 11• The City Clerk is hereby directed to transmit a copy of the description and statement recorded by the City Clerk pursuant to §8 of this Ordinance, a copy of this Ordinance, and a map of plat indicating the boundaries of the Project Area to the Auditor and Tax Assessor of Orange County, to the governing body of each of the taxing agencies which levies taxes upon any property in the Project Area and to the State Board of Equalization. SECTION 12 • The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this Ordinance and cause a copy thereof to be published as required by law in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Huntington Beach, and this Ordinance shall take force and effect thirty (30) days • after its final passage in the manner provided by law. The City Clerk shall post in the Office of the City Clerk a certified copy of -12- the full text of such adopted Ordinance along with the names of • 1 those City Council members voting for and against the Ordinance in accordance with Government Code §36933 .

FINAL REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR AMENDMENT NO. ONE TO THE OAKVIEW REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT I. (Sec. 100) INTRODUCTION The primary purpose of Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project is to increase the existing limitation on the total amount of tax increment revenue which may be allocated to the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency pursuant to the provisions of Health and Safety Code Section 33670. The Agency has initiated this Amendment because the existing limitation, which stipulates that the Agency may not • collect more than $350, 000 in tax increments during any one fiscal year, does not provide sufficient funding for the successful implementation of the Oakview Redevelopment Project. This Amendment also involves an upgrading of various elements in the original Redevelopment Plan, as adopted by Ordinance 2582 of the Huntington Beach City Council in November 1982, to meet the current standards of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Sections 33000 et seq. ) . This Amendment will not change the original Project Area boundaries or the original restrictions on eminent domain. This Amendment will also retain the 1982-1983 assessment roll as the base year assessment roll for the purpose of allocating taxes pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33670. The Redevelopment Plan for Amendment No. One to the Oakview Redevelopment Project consists of the text (Sections 100 through 900) , the Project Area Map (Figure 1) , the Existing Land Uses Map • (Figure 2) , the Legal Description of the Project Area (Appendix "A") , 1 • and the Proposed Public Improvements/Projects List (Appendix "B") .

As a part of the City's ongoing redevelopment efforts, the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency has prepared this Plan for the Oakview Redevelopment Project Area. Accordingly, the objectives of this Redevelopment Project are as follows: (1) Eliminating blighting influences that persist in the Project Area, including deteriorating buildings', incompatible and uneconomic land uses, inadequate public improvements, obsolete structures, and other physical, economic and social deficiencies; improve the overall appearance of streets, parking areas and other facilities, public and private; and assure that all buildings are safe for persons to occupy. (2) Encouraging existing owners, businesses and tenants within the Project Area to participate in the redevelopment activities. (3) Providing adequate parcels and required public improvements so as to encourage new construction by private enterprise, thereby providing the City of Huntington Beach with an improved economic base. (4) Mitigating development limitations which have resulted in the lack of proper utilization of the Project Area to such an extent that it constitutes a serious physical, social, and economic burden on the community which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting alone. (5) Providing adequate public improvements, public facilities, open spaces, and utilities which cannot be remedied by private or governmental action without redevelopment. (6) Providing construction and employment opportunities in the development of these facilities and by providing employment 5 opportunities in the operation of the proposed commercial and office facilities. (7) Implementing the construction or reconstruction of adequate streets, curbs, gutters, street lights, storm drains, and other improvements as necessary to assist development of the Project Area to conform to the General Plan as a master-planned development and to correct existing environmental deficiencies. (8) Establishing development criteria and controls for the permitted uses within the Project Area in accordance with modern and competitive development practices, thus assuring the highest design standards and environmental quality. (9) Expanding the commercial base of the community through the promotion of new and continuing private sector investment in the Project Area. (10) Providing opportunities and mechanisms to increase sales taxes, business licenses, and other sources of revenue to the City. (11) Providing opportunities to increase and improve the City's supply of housing on a Citywide basis, including housing opportunities for low and moderate income households. To attain the objectives of this Plan as set forth above; the Agency is authorized to use all of the powers provided in this Plan and all the powers now or hereafter permitted by law including the following implementation actions: (1) Installation, construction, reconstruction, redesign, or reuse of streets, utilities, curbs, gutters, sidewalks and other public improvements. 6 (2) Acquisition of property by gift, purchase, lease, or condemnation as permitted by this Plan. (3) Disposition of property by sale or lease at a value to be determined by the Agency for reuse in accordance with this Plan. (4) Redevelopment of land by private enterprise or public agencies for uses in accordance with this Plan. (5) Provide for relocation assistance and benefits to Project Area businesses and residences which may be displaced, in accordance with the provisions of the Redevelopment Law and the Government Code of the State of California. (6) Rehabilitation, remodeling, reconstruction, demolition, or removal of buildings, structures, and improvements. (7) Financing of the construction of residential and commercial buildings and the permanent mortgage financing of. residential and commercial buildings, as permitted by applicable State and local laws. (8) Provide opportunities for owner participation and extend reasonable preferences to owners, operators of businesses, and tenants. (9) Negotiate with taxing agencies to address any financial burdens or detriments caused to such entities as a result of adoption of this Plan. (10) Such other action as may be permitted by law. • 7 • B. (Sec. 402) Property Acquisition 1. (Sec. 403) Acquisition of Real Property The. Agency may purchase, lease, obtain option upon or otherwise acquire any interest in real property located in the Project Area by any means authorized by law including by gift, devise, exchange, purchase, and, except for the area specifically delineated in the Map as being exempted from acquisition by eminent domain, by eminent domain, or any other lawful method. Acquisition of property will generally be achieved by cooperative negotiations between the owner of such property and the Agency. The Agency shall not acquire real property to be retained by an owner pursuant to a participation agreement unless provision for such acquisition is made in the agreement. The Agency is authorized to acquire structures without acquiring the land upon which those structures are located. No eminent domain proceeding to acquire property within the Project Area shall be commenced after twelve (12) years following the date of adoption of the ordinance approving and adopting the Amendment. Such time limitation may be extended only by further amendment of this Plan. The Agency shall not acquire real property on which an existing building is to be continued on its present site and in its present form and use without the consent of the owner, unless: (1) such building requires structural alterations, improvement, modernization, or rehabilitation; or (2) the site or lot on which the building is situated requires modification in size, shape, or use; or (3) it is necessary to impose upon such property any of the standards, restrictions and controls of the Plan and the owner fails or refuses to participate in the Plan by executing a participation agreement. 8 2. (Sec. 404) Acquisition of Personal Property In the execution of this Plan, the Agency is authorized to acquire personal property in the Project Area to the greatest extent legally permitted. C. (Sec. 405) Participation by Owners and Tenants 1. (Sec. 406) Owner and Tenant Participation The Agency shall extend reasonable preferences to the present owners and business tenants in the Project Area, to participate in the development of the Project Area and to continue in or reenter the Project Area if they otherwise meet the requirements prescribed by this Plan and the rules governing participation promulgated by the Agency, which rules may be amended from time to time. The Agency will provide opportunities for participation in redevelopment by as many owners and business tenants as feasible. However, participation opportunities shall necessarily be subject to and limited by such factors as the expansion of public facilities; elimination and changing of land uses; realignment of streets; the ability of the Agency and/or owners to finance acquisition and development in accordance with this Plan; and any reduction in the total number of individual parcels in the Project Area through assembly and development of land for public and/or private development in accordance with this Plan. 2 . (Sec. 407) Participation Agreements The Agency may enter into a binding agreement with each person desiring to participate in redevelopment pursuant to this Plan by which the participant agrees to rehabilitate, develop, or use the property in conformance with the Plan and be subject to the provisions hereof. In the agreement, participants who retain real 9 property shall be required to join in the recordation of such documents as are necessary to make the provisions of this Plan applicable to their properties. In the event that the Agency is not directly involved in the development of a particular property, or where the Agency determines that a proposal for owner participation is not feasible, is not in the best interests of the Agency or the City, or that redevelopment can best be accomplished without affording any owner or tenant an opportunity to execute a participation agreement, a participation agreement may not be required. The determination of whether or not a participation agreement is required shall be made by the Executive; Director of the Agency or his designated representative whose decision, subject to an appeal to the Agency, shall be final. Whether or not a participant enters into a participation agreement with the Agency, the provisions of this Plan are applicable to all public and private property in the Project Area. D. (Sec. 408) Cooperation with Public Bodies Certain public bodies are authorized by the State law to aid and cooperate, with or without consideration, in the planning, undertaking, construction, or operation of this Project. The Agency shall seek the aid and cooperation of such public bodies and shall attempt to coordinate this Plan with the activities of such public bodies in order to accomplish the purposes of redevelopment and the highest public good. The Agency, by law, is not authorized to acquire real property owned by public bodies without the consent of such public bodies. However, the Agency shall seek the cooperation of all public bodies which own or intend to acquire property in the Project Area. The Agency shall impose on all public bodies the planning and design controls contained in the Plan to ensure that present uses and any future development by public bodies will conform to the requirements of this Plan. Any public body which owns or leases property in the Project 10 • Area will be afforded all the privileges of owner and tenant participation if such public body is willing to enter into a participation agreement with the Agency. E. (Sec. 409) Property Management During such time as property, if any, in the Project Area is owned by the Agency, such property shall be under the management, maintenance, and control of the Agency. Such property may be rented or leased by the Agency pending its disposition for redevelopment, and such rental or lease shall be pursuant to such policies as the Agency may adopt. F. (Sec. 410) Payments to Taxing Agencies to Alleviate Financial Burden As provided in Health and Safety Code Section 33401, the Agency may pay in any year during which it owns property in the Project Area . directly to any city, the County, any city and the County, district, including, but not limited to, a school district, or other public corporation for whose benefit a tax would have been levied upon the property had it not been exempt, an amount of money in lieu of taxes. A proportionate share of any amount of money paid by the Agency to any city or the County pursuant to this Section shall be disbursed by any city and the County to any school district with territory located within the Project Area. "Proportionate share, " as used in this Section, means the ratio of the school district tax rate, which is included in the total tax rate of any city and the County, to the total tax rate of any city and the County. The Agency may also pay to any taxing agency with territory located within the Project Area other than the City, any amounts of money which the Agency has found are necessary and appropriate to alleviate any financial burden or detriment, as defined in Health and Safety • Code Section 33012, caused to any taxing agency by the Project. The payments to a taxing agency in any single year shall not exceed the 11 amount of property tax revenues which would have been received by that taxing agency if all the property tax revenues from the Project Area had been allocated to all the affected taxing agencies without regard to the division of taxes required by Health and Safety Code Section 33670, except that a greater payment may be established by agreement between the Agency and one or more taxing agencies, except a school district, if the other taxing agencies agree to defer payments for one or more years in order to accomplish the purposes of the Project at an earlier time than would otherwise be the case. The amount of any greater payments shall not exceed the amount of payment deferred. The payments shall be approved by a resolution, adopted by the Agency, which shall contain findings, supported by substantial evidence, that the Project will cause or has caused a financial burden or detriment to the taxing agency and that the payments are necessary to alleviate the financial burden or detriment. G. (Sec. 411) Relocation of Persons Displaced by the Project 1. (Sec. 412) Assistance in Finding Other Locations The Agency shall assist in the relocation of all persons (including families, business concerns, and others) displaced by Agency acquisition of property in the Project Area.

The Agency, with the prior consent of the City Council, may pay all • or part of the value of the land for and the cost of the installation 13 and construction of any building, facility, or other improvement described in Appendix B which is publicly owned either within or outside the Project Area upon a determination by resolution of the Agency and City Council: (1) that such buildings, facilities, structures and other improvements are of benefit to the Project Area or the immediate neighborhood in which the Project Area is located; and (2) that no other reasonable means of financing such buildings, facilities, structures or other improvements are available to the community. When the value of such land or the cost of the installation and construction of such building, facility or other improvement, or both, has been, or will be, paid or provided for initially by the community or other public corporation, the Agency may enter into a contract with the community or other public corporation under which it agrees to reimburse the community or other public corporation for all or part of the value of such land or all or part of the cost of • such building, facility or other improvement, or both, by periodic payments over a period of years. Any obligation of the Agency under such contract shall constitute an indebtedness of the Agency for the purpose of carrying out the Project for such Project Area. 3 .

All -real property acquired by the Agency in the Project Area shall be sold or leased to persons or entities for development for the uses permitted in this Plan. Real property may be conveyed by the Agency to the City or any other public body without charge.
