(01�1 r -- ,Ova,,, Code Amendment No. 88-3 �I AD1�IH1�I RA.TIVE_D RAEI 1.o INTRODUCTION i. 1 Purpose and intent The City of Huntington Beach has a well established potential for development. The City is located within minutes of Long Beach. Newport Beach, Irvine, and Costa Mesa, areas which have experienced a great deal of change in the pant few years. This location means the City shaves a sub-regional market with portions of both Los Angeles and ()range Counties. The Huntington Beach Downtown area has been the subject of many special plans and studies over the past three decades. The area has a variety of residential, commercial, and recreational uses surrounding an older Downtown core with the Municipal Pier serving as the focal point. Huntington Beach has miles of prime public ocean frontage, with numerous vacant and under-utilized parcels acre ns from the beach. The potential development sites in the Downtown are sizable and attractive and present various opportunities for consideration. The Citty recognizes thtt market demanA will exert pressures for the future development of these parco.is. The City must respond to these demands in a ;Wanner which will schieve the optimum potential while at the same time protecting the existing character of the neighborhoods. -3- (00620) The purpose of the Downtown Specific Plan Is to encourage the revit.%Ii zation of this Important area of Huntington Beach. The Plan promotes a mix of commercial. residential, and recreaflonal uses which will be able to take advantage of the area's proximity to the ocean. Many sections of the Downtown project a negative image of Huntington Beach. The effect of these existing conditions is to discourage new investment, which in turn perpetuates the unsightly and unproductive, environment. the principal goal of the Downtown Specific Plan is to change the overall negative image which has evolved through the years, and establish a framework for the physical improvements, both public and private, which will create an attractive, unique, vibrant and viable community that will make people want to live, work and play in Huntington Beach. The Huntington Beach Downtown Specific Plan sets forth development standards and recommends public improvements for the i:ity's Downtown area. The Downtown Specific Plan is intended to implement the land use designations i;i the Coastal Element of the Huntington Beach Genera! Plan. This Specific Plan, along with zoning ordinances for those portions of the City's coastal zone outside the Downtown at ea, and in conjunction with a Coastal Zone (CZ) MIN, will be the implementing phase (phase three or final phase) of thw Loc,•.I Coastal Program (LCP). Upon certification of these ordinances by t`.e State Coastal Cvmmission, permit authority for most new development wall once again become the responsibility of the City of Huntington Beach. 1 .2 5�stitis` elan P�scdvcc California State taw authorizes cities with complete General Plans to prepare and adopt specific Plans (Government Code Sections 65450 et. seq.). Specific Plans are Intended to be a bridge between the local General Plan and individual development proposals. Specific Plans cont.in both planning policies and regulations, and may combine zuning regulations. capital improvement programs, detailed development standards and other regulatory methods into one document which can be tailored to meet the needs of a specific area. Local planning agencies or their legislative bodies may designate areas within their jurisdiction as ones for which a Specific Plan is "necessary or convenient" (Governmen: Code Section 65451). The ieSislative body may adopt a Specific Plan either by ordinance or resolution (Government Code Section 65507). Adoption by t-rdinancre IS common when the Specific Plan amends a develrpment code, zoning ordinance, or other code. when specific regulatory measures art included and when local charters require adoption by ordinance. Resolutions are commonly used when the plan Is more cf a policy document. Should the legislative body wish to change a pr-opostd Specific Plan recommended by the PlanningCommission, the change must :first be referred back to the Commission for consideration, If not previously considered, (Government Code Section 65504). if the Commission fails to act on the proposed changes within 40 days, It is deemed -pproved. The same proce%;are applies to subsequent amendments to the plan. -4- (00621)) Adoption or amendment of a Specific Plan ceiutitutes a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State's Environmental Impact Report (F.!R) guidelines. If the Initial, study shows that the proposed or amended General Plan could significantly affect the environment, the Jurisdiction must prepare an EIR and submit it in draft form for public review. The need for an EiR In a particular case is determined by the local government. A Specific Plan and an EIR on a Specific Plan overlap extensively; they must address many of the same concerns and the process for preparing them is nearly identical. Therefore, environmental assessment should be an integral part of preparing or revising a Specific Plan. 1 .3 Authori cy The State of California requires that all cities and counties prepare and adopt a comprehensive General Plan for the physical development of their area of jurisdiction. Following the adoption of the General Plan, the entity Is required to develop and adopt regulating programs (zoning and subdivision ordinances, building and housing codes, and other regulations). which will Implement the policies described in the General Plan. The Huntington Beach City Council adopted the Coastal Element as part of the City's General Plan on January 19, 1981. On March 16, 1991 Cot=11 authorized staff to draft the Downtown Specific Plan as a means of implementing portions of the Coastal Element. following review by the California Coastal Commission, the Coastal Element wrs amended by the City Council on August 2, 1982, and certified In geograph!c part by the Coastal Commission in November, 1992. The Coastal Element was again amended by the Council on May 16, 1993. This amendment along with any subscquent amendments brought about by the adoption of the Downtown Specific Plan will be submitted to the Coastal Commission fcr review and certification. 1.4 scm The Downtown Specific Plan is divided into four sequential sections. The first section describes the purrmse and intent of the Downtown Specific Plan along with a brief explanation of Specific 7!2.n procedure and authorization. The second section is intended to establish the reasons why the Specific Plan process is logical and necessary for this portion of the City. This section presents o general devcr tption of the Specific Plan area Including designated land uses, existing zoning and existing uses along with special charac- teristics and existing conditions which snake this area unique. Section Three describes the Specific Plan design concept. The design cr^.cept evolves from the objectives outlined in Section One and the existing conditions discussed in Section Two, along with input rrom numerous public meetings and special studies conducted by and four the City. Srctlon Three also presents the land uses proposed for various districts in tyre Downtown area tuxd the circulation, open space, public facilities and infrastructure which will support the land uses and reinforce the design concept. Strategies for pha:istg the implementation of these facilities and features are outlined to coordinate the development of the Downtown area and achieve the objectives wntified in the City's Coastal Element. _3.. (00620) Section Four presents a detailed description of the development standards which are necessary to guide and regulate new development as well as to carry out the goals and policies of the coastal program. The development standards are listed by district enabling easy i-omparirson. This section also outlines the administrative procedures and general developmtnt provisions which are consistent in all districts and apply to all development. The introduction of special use overlays for resource production and conservation areas are also presented. An appendix has been compiled which contains the special reports and studies from which many of the concepts in this Specific Plan were dieriv,-d, this appendix has not been incorporated into this document. Also prepared under a separate cover is the Downtown Specific Pia Environmental Impact Report 82-2. (0062D) 2.0 AREA DESCRIPTION The Downtown area is within the City's corstal zone boundary and presents several particularly complex issues which have led to this unique planning approach. This area is charzcterized by numerous small parcels and dispersed ownership` with an extremely diverse mix of activites. Many or the structures were built In the 1920's; some arc seismically unsafe. In addition, a large portion of the area is presently vacant with a tremendous potential for development. The Califoc^;a Coastal Act adds still : nother set of coasideratIons to the planning process by requiring that certain ve;tonal and statewide coauta! concerns be included In any Flans for the area. The Downtown Specific Plan Includes the seventeen blocks on the ocean side of Walnut Avenue between Goldenwest and Sixth Streets, a central area between Sixth and Lake Streets extending up to Hartford Avenue, and properties generally south of Atlanta Avenue between Lake Street and Beach boulevard (see Filtrre 2.1). The Specific Plan area also encompasses the beach between Goldenwest Street and Beach @oulevard, including the municipal pier. The Specific Plan area Includes approximately 326 total acres. r 2•L a►LMLal elan.,i Aigiii.l.LSillri Land use designations for the Specific Plan area were established by the City's Coastal Land Use flan which was adopted a,. part of the City's Coastal Element and became part of the City's General Plan (see Figure 2.2). The Coastal Element urred massy of the same designations currently established for other parts of the City; In addition new designations which more specifically reflect the intent of the State Coastal Legisls ;ton were also adopted (Visitor-Serving Commercial, Mixed-use (Office/Resident ILI), Mixed-Use (Comm -rcial/Support Recreation), and Open Space (Recreation). The adopted Genes .0 Plan designates the seventeen block area between Goldenwest and Sixth Streets primarily for ;sigh density resident'al use with � a maximum allowaule density of 35 units per acre on a fully consolidated block; thi4 area accounts for approximately 44 acres. Within this section of the Spech'ic Plan, three nodes are designated for visitor-serving commercial uses, totalling approximately 8 acres. These commercial nodes include a two half blocks between Golderwest and Twenty-First Streets, and a two half blocks area between Eighteenth and Sixteenth Streets and one half block between Ninth and Eighth Streets. Another visitor-serving commercial area is designated adjacent to the municipal pier. This area Includes the five Inland blocks facing Pacific Coast Highway between Sixth an-1 lake Streets and the pier and a portion of the public parking lots. The visitor-serving commercial category is a new designation created in response to the Cvas, Act policy which encourages adr.uate visitor- serving facilities in the sstal area. 'fhe principal intended uses are hotels, motels. restaurants, theaters. museums, specialty and beach-related retail. and service uses. These uses are located near visitor-drawing attractions such as the Municipal Pier &M the beaches. and along major access routes fron inland areas. Office and residential uses shall be conditional and shall only be permitted if visitor serving uses are either provided prior to other development or assured as part of the development. inland from the first block, the plan designates fourteen blocks for mixed- use (office/residential) uses, approximately 52 acres. The City's General Plan Inchides a broad mixed development category intended to encourage maximum flexibility. The Coastal Element refined the category to provide more direction for the types and level of development desired. Two new mixed use categories were developed for the coastal zone. The intent of the mixed-use office/residential dezignation Is to allow a mix of medium to high density apartments and condominiums with professional office space. This can be accomplished by integrating residential and office uses within the same general area or by vertically mixing these uses within the same building. Limited ancillary retail commercial and service uses are ;iso conditionally permitted; however, the emphasis Is on the office/ residential mix. Southeast of the Downtown core is another visitor-serving commercial area eKl,;�cent to Pacillc Coast Highway between Lake and Huntington Streets, approximately 13 acres. The area further south along the highway Is anothvr new mixed-use designation, commercial/recreation, approximately 29 acres In size. This designation conditionally allows commercial facilities as a mayor use and recreational facilities as a support use. it is especially -ic- (0062 D) \ t appropriate for large areas which can be planned xs one coordinated development. The intent Is to encourage uses that sre o,en to the public and that capitalize on the beach location. The areas immediately north of the commercial areas adjacent tr pacific Coast Highway are des!Snated for high density residential uses fc, a total of 57 acres. Another new designation Is open space recreation which will ac:.ommodate passive and active recreational uses. The entire beach area has this designation which encompasses approximately 103 acres. 2.3 EsininsIgnint Zoning throughout tine Downtown area has evclved over the years. There are predominantly two types of zoning presently in place, commercial (0) and residential, with -residential densities ranging from low (Oldtown Specific Plan) to high (R4). The majority of the property between Goldenwes% and Lake Streets Is zoned C3. general business district (Commercial). This includes the front half of the seventeen blocks between Goldenwest and Sixth Streets and most of the central Downtown core area. The C3 zonlna district allows a wide variety of uses including any use permitted In the City's ttvee other commercial toning districts such as retail shops, banks, theaters, =utomobile sales, professional offices, motels. and other uses. The C3 zone imposes few development restrictions; there are no front, side or rear yard setbacks, no maximum percentages of site coverage, no open space requirements and no height restrictions. The C3 zone fully developed would produce 9L grass acres of general commercial uses within the Downtown area with few design controls. The C3 zone does not provide the type of regulations necessary to imp)zment the quality of development envisioned for this area and therefore It Is no longer an appropriate zone for Downtown. The northern half of the blocks between Goldenwest and Sixth Streets as well as a small portion of the central core area are zoned R4, high density residential. This -oning district allows one unit for every one thousand (1,000) square feet of lot area or a maximum of 3S units per gross acre for larger projects, with a height limit of 30 feet. There are currently approximately 28 acres zoned R4. The R4 zone Is not Ypecifically designed for the unique type of lot configurations and other characteristics of this area. Without modification. including a greater degree of design controls, the R4 zone may not be compatible with the adjacent Tnwnlo; specific plan zoning district. Other zones within the Specific plan area include MIJ (Mobile Home District). R5 (Office Professional District) which allows hotels and motels as well as professional offices, R3 (Medium-High Density Residential District), Old Civic Center Specific Plan (M;xed-Use, residential, commercial and public facilities), C1 (Neighborhood Commercial District). C4 (Highway Commercial District) and r".F-R (Community Facilities District - Recreation Areas). In addition, a zoning suffix of O or 01 (Oil District) is on select parcels. The present pattern of spot zoning with strip aotseaerrial is a t to past demands and nos longer applies to the efforts of Downtown reviulizatim -9- (00620) 2.4 Egstit t Land Uns The existing land uses In the Specific Pl:n area are txtremrely varied and diverse. There are numerous cases of nonconfurmink usL-:i and vacant or under-.utilized parcels. In the seventeen blocks beo*Pen Goldenwest and Sixth Str eeta development is sparse. Many of the parcels which front on Pacific Coast Hipway are hither vacant or used for oil production, while many lets faring walnut Street are developed as -multi-family residences, A fear commercial establishments are also s_attert.1 along this scrip, which ar-count for approximately .g,ggg square feet of rcrr.mercial use. The area between Sixth and Lake Streets is often referred to as the Downtown "core." This %.-.as at one time the City's principal commercial center; now, however, it is characterized by smaller scale, uses; surf shops, thirft stores, coffee shops and similar establishments, primarily focused around Main Street. Wany of these Downtewii properties have experienced a r.mid turnover m commercial ternanss. The total amount of commei cis! :. ;ua- fontage presently In the Downtown cart~ Is approximately 16v,(.`00 square t Land uses farther away from Main Street become more mixed and Int-fudz sieegle-family and multi-family residences. oil activities, and park.ind lots along with commercial eatahlist-ments At :he northern ti;i of the Downtown core Is the old Civic Center site (presently vacant e..cept for the City Library) btiunded by Orange Aviceiue, Main, Fifth atul Sixth Streets. Another reside¢ntiat grew exists adjacent to the Downtown core between 3rd and Lake Streets and is devoted to a mix of singtie and multi-family residential uses. The area along the southeastern boundary % f the Downtown area, ea3i of We Street, Is largely vacant. Pacific Coast Highway between Lake: Street and Beach Soulevara contains a mtrturt. of activities. Twc hotels are located In. this Arta which provide a total of ;warty 200 rooms with restaurants, meeting rooms and re,.reatlaul facilities. Inland between Lake Street and Huntingtoru Street, the land is largely vacant and used for somt oil facilities. i'he remainder of the area is mostly -comprised :-�f mobile home uses. The ocean side of ^acifley Coast Highway is titally devoted to public beat- i use. Bolsa Chica State Belch extenes southeastoard from Ovidenw"e t Street to the Municipal Pler. Thi's area is presently underliolo.1t major renovation through a cleaning up and consolidation of oil opierstlons &nd a major landscaping and accessway program. The City Beach lies between the Pier and Leach Boulevard. The area is extentively landscaped and contakr* approximately LUDO parking spaces with various beach-cwtented concr aiorc. I -10-- (0(062D) 2.5 F, U t ins_cndi iigm Oil Production A large number of parcels in the specific Plan area are currently in oil production., ranging from 25 foot wide lots to parcels several acres In size. Some parcels are owned by the oil companies themselves and some are leased from private owners. There is a possibility that :many of these oil production facilitles can be consolidated into smaller areas which would free additional land for development of other uses. A large oil firm analyzed the potential for a unitization project and has taken the initial steps to unit formation with the acquisition of mineral rights. This will ena:,le the remaining oil resources to be tapped morn one or two select locations and therefore eliminate the need for pumping units scattered throughout the Downtown area. Parking Problems Parking has long been an issue of great concern within the Downtown area. � Part of the problem arises from the fact that many of the Downtown buildings and businesses were developed or estzblished under the provisions of long outdated parking regulatious. Convenient and abundant parking is a key ir.;redient for viable commercial development Downtown. Throughout most of the year, this amount of parking available In the Downtown area is more than adequate to accommodate the demand get►eraged by recreation facilities. However. during the summer there are days when parking capacity is exceeded. The provision of adequate parking for beach users is a significant issue. Beach parking lots are currently providing the greatest num?)er of spaces; however, additional parking adjacent to the beach areas in private lots and alovg the Shoulder of Pacific Coast Highway and other nearby streets provides an estimated 3,500 spaces. Vacant lots in the area fronting Pacific Coast highway between Goldenwest and Sixth Streets currently provide an additional 600 parking spaces; use of these lots for parking will phuae out as i development of the area occurs. Seismic Problems Over fifty buildings In the Downtown area have been Identified as stn:ctu.-ally unsound in the event of an earthquake. Most of these buildings are located in a four-block area in the central core. These existing buildings will ultimately have to either be Improved to meet seismic standards or be demolished. Municipal Pier Problems I n November, 1979, a structural survey of the Municipal Pier was completed which identified serious structural deficiencies and recommended replace- ment or reconstruct'an of a major portion of the Pier. The winter storms of 1983 caused substan.:al damage to the Pier, ultimately resulting in the km of the "End of the Pier' cafe. The City is committed to restoration of the Pier because of Its speclal identity and its relationship to the Downtown area. -11- (0620) Ownership Patterns The Specific Plan area between Golden*--st and Lake Streets is charac- terized by a dispersed ownership p`tte-n . There are a number of 23 foot wide lots held under separate ownersh!ps. In many cases two small lots have been combined to form 50 foot wide parcels. In some instances many lots have been consolidated to form quarter block, half block and even larger parcels, The City owns oeveral parcels between Goldenwest and Lake Streets, including one of the largest consolidated parcels, the old Civic Center site. The property south of Atlanta Avenue between Lake and Huntington Street is consolidated under one private ownership and the 62 acres between Huntington Street and Beach Boulevard is owned by the City. The beach itself is controlled partially by the City (south of and including the pier) and the State (north of the pier). hiain-Pier Redevelopment Project The majority of the Downtown Specific Plan Is also within the expanded Main-Pier Redevelopment Project Area (Amendment No. 0. The Main-Pier Redevelopment Proj:•ct was prepared In compliance with the California Community Redevelopment Law which requires preparation of such a p!an as the basis for subsequent development of a more definite plan amendment for redevelopment within a designated Project Area. The Main-Pier Project Area has been determined to be blighted and requiring redevelopment to effectuate the public purposes which the California Community Redevelopment Law was designed to achieve. The Main--Pier Project Area is part of the ongoing Community and Neighborhood Enhancement Program by the City of Huntington Beach to revitalize areas within the community. The Redevelopment Program will enable the City of Huntington Beach to remove and mitigate adverse conditions within selected areas of the Downtown and help improve 0* overall economic climate. The City's objective in pursuing the Main-Pier Redevelopment Plan is to mitigate the severe development limitations that are now. and will be In the future, constraints to proper utilization of the Project Area. The Plan as presently envisioned will provide for the sale of properties and portions of properties to the Re-developmer.t Agency. However, if the owner~ of these parcels are desirous of participating in the project, owner Msticipation arrangements will be made available. The most direct impact to businesses and property owners within the Project Area will be the disp;scement (except for owner participants) resulting from implementation of the Redeveiopment Plan. The redevelopment of this Project Area is expected to attain the purposes of Community Redevelopment Law of the State of Califouni-c by: • Providing additional decent, safe and sanitary residential housing to the existing stock within the City. • Providing construction and employment opportunities in the development of these facilities and by peowiding emplaw=mt opportnties In the operstiion *f the proposed raw commercial end Industrial facilities. I • Mitipting severe development limitations which result in the lick of proper utilization of the Area to such an extent that it constitutes a serious physical, social and economic burden on the community which cannot reasonably be exprcte:' to he reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting alone. i I • Providing adequate public improvements, public facilities, open spaces and utilities which cam-)ot be remedied by private or Sovernriental action without redevelopment. • Implementing the construction of adequate streets, curbs, gutters, street lights, storm drains and other improvements as necessary to ensure proper vehicular and pedestrian access within and around the Project Area. • Establishing development criteria and controls for the permitted reuses within the amended Project �.rea in accordarL�t with modern and competitive development practices. • Providing for relocation assistance and benefits to amended Pm)e,%:t Area businesses ar•.d residences which may be displaced, In accor- dance with the provisions of the Community Redevelopment Law and the gdrernment code of the State of California. i r�v 3.0 SPECIFIC PLAN CONCEPT 3.1 Q iga cQual The ocean is one main reason for the existence of Huntington Peach and is the basis fo: Its future. The design concept for the Downtown Specific Plan evolves from the ocean as the source and center of the Ci ty's vitality. Many existing and potential opportunities in Downtown Huntington Beach are possible because of this relationship to the ocean. The design concept emphasizes the ocean, ocean activities. forms, shapes and colors. This relation to the ocean will establish a theme to serve as a guideline for new private and public Investment in the Downtown area. The design concept concentrates on the City pier, realizing that all other areas within the Downtown are linked either directly or indirectly to the pier. The level of energy and excitement generated at the pier-head area needs to be capitalized upon and spread through the Downtown core. The pier area has the potential to accommodate even more people than it pr+esetitly does by offering a variety of uses, services and activities. Developments at the pier should be scaled tc a pedestrian level with passive activities such as strolling and viewing given equal col Ideration with Havre vigomm activities such as surfing, swimming and bicycling. Pedestrian boardwalks on various levels and the pier itself will offer views of the ocean and ocean activities. The overall form and shape of all developawnt in Downtown Huntington Beach should allow people to we dlwr ocean from as many place t as 0 a I I it - The pier area will conilmse to serve as the rsajor attraction In the City gad should become the catalyst for the revitalization effort. !4� (OWa) y PAO1` The design concept identifies the plea-head and the area immediately scross Pacific Coast Highway as the focus for the greatest '.ntermity of future development. These new developments should be scaled down and buffered with intensified landscaping and compatible u"s as the development approaches the existing residential neighborhoods. The Interdepiendence of public and 0-lvat.- development activities will create a major activity rode at the pier-head. An Important empt,asis of the deli&t concept Is to extend Main Street Inland from the ocean and encourage pedestrian movement along the street. by expanding this activity from the pier, the commercial core along Main Street can bo-come a lively shaming thoroughfare oriented to pedestrians and ot'feHng opportunities to shop, dine or browse In an ocean-related atmosphere. A serous major activity nixie is proposed for the area bounder! by 6th Street, Palm Avenue, Lake Street and Orange Avenue. A variety of activities could occur within this "super-block." The activities in this area should be of a year-round variety, providing the convenience of neighhorhood shopping and the clustering of public and private services, along with :yew opportunities for living within walking distance of the ocean. The proq*ct of two major activity nodes within walking distance of each other on opposite ends of the Main Street commercial corridor will tend to encourage reinvestment and revitalization of' this Important connecting link. The Intensities in the Downtown core area are intended to be compatible with the adjacent transitional areas anu the surrounding residential neighborhoods. ")utside of the :Downtown core. in the Townlot section of the Downtown Specifics Plan (between c;oldenwest and 6th Street). the design concept is for residential and visitor--serving commercial developments, which are intended to be not only compatible with the existing residential area immediately adjacent. but to enhance and reinforce the primarily residential character of the area. The establishment of a secure private residential comT.wity adjacent to. but adequr.tely buffered from, the public areas is one of they objectives of the plan. The area southeast of the Downtown core (between Lake Street and Besch Beuievard) Is intended to provide additional opportunities for residential and visitor-serving commercial uses. The comercial uses In thl: area are intended to primarily service the seasonal trade and not compete with the Downtown commercial area. The large consolidated parcels in this area allow for greater intensities and densities while still providing substantial opportunities fox buffering and design controls. Public open space and recreational Amenities should be an Integral part of any large projects. The intent of the design concept is to Incorporate Into the study area a strong, recognizable physical Image and identity. The design cast Vt is accomplished by coordinating several related elements into an averall actsn design theme. Including the following: Orienting Intensive land uses sway from established residential neltltborf5ooden. -1 (00620) Providing view, light and air corridors to the ocean. Building architecture to reinforce this theme should be a modern or contemporary Mediterranean style of architecture. This architec- ture has elements of contemporary Mexican and Southern Califrrnis architecture responsive to the climate and location. The climate and location Indicate orientation to the prevailing breezes, grotec- II tion from sun and wind, view of the ocean, and use of light-colored durable materials which reflect sunlight and will be a background to brighter accent colors of streetscape and awnings. Th' elements of this architecture are: plain wall surfaces built of stucco or block-smooth surfaces, background wall colors from white to pastel shades, inset windows shaded from sunlight, brightly colored awnings, window boxes, flower pots, light fixtures and other building accents such as entry doors, creation of shade for pedestrians by use of awnings and courtyards, minimum of "reflective" glass, outdoor eating and pedestrian arras to maximize views to the ocean. -- Streetscape elements should be brightly colored and should relate to the ocean theme in form and shape. The itreetscape element is meant to be the accent elemen ,in Downtown, played oft against the white and pastel of the building forms and shapes. Public areas should be Integrated Into development proposals in key locations or in conjunction with major consolidation projects. Ocean-related and oil-related artifacts may be incorporated in!.-a public areas. Establish guidelines for elements such as siguge, landscaping, and lighting which will create the visual character of the area. Design Guidelines for the Downtown Specific flan will be prepared separately and adopted by resolution of City Council, This document should serve as a tool for review of development proposals within the Specific Plan area. Id be bright Graphic elements s.'tiou colors to contrast with the backgrrund architecture. The content of the graphic elements LINAd be abstract versions of waves, forms of sea animals and symbols cnd forms that evoke water-related activities with movement r,nd j action, to reinforce the ocean theme. - Establishing a framework of landscaping and identify elements to provide interest and character to specific locations. This concept will provide a logical. coherent, unified network of land uses, activities and circulatWn systems. Landscaping materials for Downtown should be associated with the ocean environment (vich as palms) and exterrively used for buffering in transitknul areas. .,�� (0062D) I ti The design concept is the coordtnatina element of the Downt.a wn S60citic Plan and :s intended to enhance the architectural concepts with exutint physical realitles end to create a viable environment in which both new and kmg-time residents are able to live, work, Ooop and recreate in a desirablx atmosphere.

District Five is the primary :omme.cial core area serving as a commercial link between the crier-head area and District Six (the top of Main Street). District Five in, iudes approximately 20 gross acres with an emphasis on commercit-1 activities, however, an option for office, residential or additional commercial activities above the first floor is provided. This multi-use aspect Is Intended to create a lively place to be day or night for both visitors and residents. Main Street should maintain a pedestrian- oriented shopping street character. Commercial uses should be required on the ground floor with building fronts close to the sidewalk to establish a more Intimate scale. In order to afford t.�e visual, climatic and recreation amenities of this unique area to a greater number of people, hither residential densities should be provided. Offices should be encouraged to locate In this district in order to help establish the desired Downtown I atmosphere. The commercial emphasis of this district can be achieved with varying Intensities, providing the commercial link between Orange Avenue and the pier along Main Street is not broken at the pedestrian level. This district should encourage rehabilitation as well as new development. The larger scale now development (one full block or greater) should not detract from the potentia, development in District Six or District Three (the pier-head). This Distric t is intended to connect the two major nodes with an interest element which can best be achieved with a continuation of tlx pedestrian- oriented commercial District; rehabilitation and new developed should be scaled and designed with this Intent. The plan anticipates that this District can accommodate approximately 150.000 square feet of commercial uses with approximately 75,000 squire feet of office and 200 rw!w residential uni ts. �11ihVN/�f>td d/tb/bif/aI/�t�tiddE�dVi�4ttiU6Q' 1t,�'hItIQ'AWAU itb�l/tl�t1Y�!'d/�6�t+�fd/hl�/1�drY1�!/b�aft�YNrld►'p�6+itMd//1Sbf,Rrlt�l�f/tdbfll�t tl'lr6r/t'idVdtt(/fit/fin(.��hAU/rOP�id/A�hELt,bb4'Mail�tn�t'1'iMrAbt/AG6S'/M!d`.lrl/AM! tdlrriruwdrtr/,�'16ll�tld�/f�etrr��/u�uwv!>�y�wentt/,r�cwrwru�a h�1 dDii/�tb4�Et1t,(/¢�itf M�by//iuPll�ibblE/dtditbb��Af rd///T�11+tt1d5t/r9i Y/!Y/ � MAlk ►m/it, WMe!t&v 1tvai#At ttxMAWtAuAitftd rAMbWAM&AWA IMWIA �aw�rttr//E�/Ji,�r�t�r�r///Aw�Y//ac�rtr�l!/1�//tue►/Jrw/t�t�w�/�� AUMIAWNWANHWAAWNIMAIA �tt�rrJ�r�aarr�urr�ri�rJ�r�rJrw�r,r�r��r/p� rv�r:J�wr/pyre 1�fl�Mb�itlRiE/hf t`�0t�6/allVbttl�iWMlliRllidl /gIIMIMi/111f`�il�l/l1i dbM�f//itdt//dCMr//tLt//t�h//// //1;dJ/tM�l//it�iAaKdtit//MldgiLM'�1/ -19- (OWD) li�b�i1i�11tlili�l D�trict SiY is Sntepdeti_ L be 1_Ill.igh.�tho�-s�ri�tt0 lot and service-Kea with MUG...gai at soots. o►x cep Qlaxaa.

Tale of ncy-L— lotrrnsnt_ to the .�diacrnt residential ridehbo_rhQQds., District Six provides a great potential to master plan a large portion of the Downtown area for new development which will create new opportunities to shop, work and live in an oceaa-related atmosphere. The Plan anticipates that this District can accomtrodate approximately 130,000 square feet of commercial, 75,000 square feet of office and 200 new residential units. In both Districts Five and S:x, open air commercial establishments. such as sidewalk cafes, book and ma,;azine racks and flower stands are encouraged. A requirement for additional public open space amenities should be incorporated into all lar-ne scale projects. These areas may include patios, balconies or terraces with landscaping, public seating with ac"ditional amenities such as sculpture or 7ther art oblects. Corner plazas will also be encouraged along Main Street and should be required in any full block or multi-block consolidation project. 3.2.2 Mixed-Use (Commercial/Recreation) As stated previously, the mixed-use designation is intended to encourage maximum flexibility for the variety or uses allowed. The nixed-use (commercial/recreation) designation applies only to District Nine. District Nine is an area approximately 29 gross ,Tres In size owned entirely by the City. This District is intended to develop with recreation-oriented commercial uses, including tennis and racquetball courts, swimming pools. gymnasiums or health clubs. Combined with these open air or enclosed sports and recreation facilities, hotels or motels with strpportfng restaurants and shops would be appropriate uses. Large coordinated development Is encouraged In this District which provides an ocean-eHtnted atmosphere with opportunities for public beach access. The Plan anticipates commercial recreation development with a potential for 300-400 hotiel rooms. 3.2.3 Commercial (Visitor-Serving) The visitor-serving commercial designation is a new category adopted in the City's Coastal Element in response to State Coastal Act policy which encourages adequate visitor-serving facilities in the coastal area. The visitor-serving commercial designation includes four Districts (District One, Three, Seven and Ten), totalinit approximately S1 gross acres. -20- 062D) ),N uLa�ict Qu Is composed of three separate nodes of small lot ownerships for a total of approximately S gross acres. Commercial uses in this District are Intended to servt the visitors to Bolsa Chica State Beach as well as the surrounding residents. The commercial uses allowed In this District should not compete •a►ith the Downtown commercial core. The District One nodes will be surrounded by primarily medium to high density residential uses; therefore, residential uses should be permitted In conjunction with the necessary visitor-serving commercial uses. This type of mixed use may create an additional incentive for development, while providing more opportunities for people to live near the ocean. All new development should be designed and scaled to be compatible with the character of the adjacent residential areas. The Plan anticipates service-oriente com. mercial for a total of approximately 60,000 square feet with the potential for new residential units. District Thre is proposed to be the hub of the Downtown core. containing higher Intensity visitor-serving uses such as hotels, restaurants and museums along with specialty -chops and beach-related commercial uses. District Three includes approximately 15 gross acres and Is part of the pier-head node described in the design concept. This District is a prime visitor- serving commercial location directly across from the municipal pier and beach, on Either side of Main Street. This location, if properly developed, will provide visitors and residents with numerous opportunities to view the beach activities and truly experience the ocean environment. District Three is identified as the most appropriate locadou for high intensity develop- ment; therefore, large minimum parcel sizes should be established. Hotel, retail, restaurant and other commercial uses with structured parking which could also service the pier and Slain Street would be appropriate uses for this District. Development in District Three could be consolidAted into multi-block parcels providing for greater design flexibility; however, view con.dons should be mainta!ned along the existing right-of-ways. Restaurant and retail space should be developed at the street level on Main Street and Pacific Coast Highway. Large areas devoted to public open space should be provided for w'ithin development projects similar to that described for Districts Five and Six. The vitality and magnetism associteted with such areas will be critical to the reinfcrcement and continuation of commercial developments throughout the Downtown core. Additional inducements may be necessary to attract the type of viable development which will support and improve the entire area; therefore, office and high density residential uses should be permitted, however, only as part of a mixed--use project and only above the pedestrian level which should remain commercial. Anticipating high intensity development In this District requires that additional design considerations be addressed; upper story setbacks, staggered building envelopes, preservation of view light and air corridors should all be included in any project review in order to assure that the area maintain a pleasant pedestrian environment. The design concept calls for an emphasis on pedestrian level amenities and a gradual controlled transition in building heights and uses between the commercial care and the adjacent residential tests. �21— (ODiZD► This concentration of neo c!vvelopment across from the puhlic use areas of District Ton (tho pier) will provide an economic base for the type of renovation essential to the, pier and beach front. 71.._, new economic %-;tality is intended to establish a Beater year-round market for the City to help support the overall revitalization effort. The Flan anticipates that District Three can support 4UO-SD0 hotel rooms and associated commercial facilities. This District would also be an appropriate location for a performing arts center or multi-purpose facilhy which could be used by the hotels and the ocean-oriented museum/ac;uarium use identified in District 're-n. This District may also provide an opportunity for new residential units. Time-sharing residential units may also be a desired use in conjunction with pedestrian level commercial. In all, approximately 100.000 square rootage of commercial/office. uses Including hotels end time-sharing residential, along with 200-400 new residential units could be accommodated in this District. District even is a consolidated parcel under onr ownership and Is approximately 13 gross acres. District Seven should be master planned at, a primarily visitor-serving comme.cial project, which could be implemented over a number of phases. Hotel, motel, restaurant and specialty commercial would be ;appropriate uses. Developmetst in this Vistri^t is not intended to compete with the Downtown commerciai core, therefor:, major incentives for development would not be necessary. The commercial uses In this District would be of a more seasonal variety with the District Rerving as a connecting link between the Downtown area and District Nine. The Plan anticipates visitor-serving commercial can be accommodated with a 200-400 room hotel. D1TjZ_JSl3 includes the area on the ocean side of Pacific C:,ast Flighway most suited for commercial dcvelopment. This District includes the pier and the existing parking areas on either side, comprising approximately !S gross acres. The visitor-serving commercial uses most awoporiate for this District are beach-relate: and complementary to activities whit.h occur around the pier, such as fishing, surfing and sun bathing. Additional parkin] in structures would also be appropriate provided that they do not extend above the level of Pacific Coast Highway And block views. This provision should still provide for the optiat of multi-level commercial activities in this District. The, pier Is a prime location for rests.rants, which can take advantage of the panoramic views. Ecli aily Important as the new commercial activities which may he accommodated is tc insure that the major emphasis in this District Is public open space. The pier acid lx!ach area must remain accessible to the public for free recreational pursuits. District Ten is }cart of the pier--head node s3 desceibed petviously. This commercialirecreationa! activity nose is of primary Importance `A the revitalization effort of the City. Development within this District will probably be initiated with City efforts. The extent and intensity of development in District Three and further inland will directly determine :.So amount of revitalization which can occur to the pier and the beach-related commerciac uses which wi be acco modsted. In addition. the pre"int ainount of parkin` can be apVroximately doubled without obstructing views or drastically changing the overall character of the District. -22- �40b2�► 3.2.4 Residential (Iflgh Density) The residential designation includes UN Slits Districts (District Two. Dl&tdt ,&jlr and Eight) exciusively for residential user. 2LWJC1Two extends from Goldenwost Street to 6th Street between Pacific Coast Higt: Nay to Walnut Avenue. District Two is subdivkied Into numerous twenty-five foot wide lots with very diverse ownerships encompassing approximately 44 gross acres. District Two is Intended to develop as a continuation of the type and variety of residential development which exists in the adjacent Townlot area. The development regulations should be similar and compatible with those in the Townlot area, with the exception that larger projects (one full block or more) should be provided with additional Incentives to p -courage lot consolidation. Consolidation of the nutr.r:-ous small lots which are spread throughout the District is one of the objectives of the Plan. in order to accomplish this. the allowed density in the District should Increase as the parcel size Increases. Consolldrition Is desirable In this District as a means to achieve site design controls and variety of residential types which will prod•;ce quality residential development which is sens;t-ve to the adjacent neighbors' concerns. ;Multi-block consolidations may also be allowed to promote better design; however, view corridors should be maintained along the existing right-of- ways so as to na, adversely affect the residential areas further inland. Projects of one full block or greater should be allowed additional height In wnich to achieve the allowed density with a design which takes advantage of the projects location while remainl.,ig compatible with adjacent uses ftoubh upper story setbacks and other deMSn regulations. The Plan anticipates that few projects :vill be able to take advantage of the provirioas allowed for a full block consolidation. Residentia! development In District Two may result in 2.00-1000 new residential units. nil uses should also be allowed to continue in dei:anated areas.

The plan anticipated development in District Eight to achieve the full p-,tential of maximum density resulting in 1900 new residential units. Oil uses should also be r3lowed to con ir.ue In selected islands within a portion of the District. 3.2.5 Open Space (Recreation) The open space designation constitutes an important laird use throughout the coastal zone and particularly in the Downtown Specific Plan. The open space (recreation) is a new designation developed In the Coastal Element In keeping with State Coastal Act policy concerning shoreline access and recreation facilities. pistric_t Eleven is designated open space (recreation) and includes the area on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway between Goldenwest Street and Beach Boulc-+ard, with the exception of the area in District Ten; a total of approximately 103 gross acres. This District is intended tc preserve and protect the beach area within the Specific Plan. Only beach-related activities should be permitted in this District. The popularity of the beach and the expectation that beach use will continue to increase in the future, makes it important that the Specific Plan preserve ue much of the leach as possible. It Is also important to provide facilities for beach users, such as restroom facilities and concessions for food, drinks and beach equipment its well as maintaining as much public parking as possible. Ail development should t* scaled and limited to enhance and not detract from the beach experience. The Plan antic;ip3tes development within this District to be limited to concession stands, recreation facilities and beach parking improvements. Oil ust-s should Ix allowed to continue in a pe-rtion of the District. The City has historically had a policy .o pr.!scrvt its beach front fo- the enjoyment of all. The Downtown Specific Plan continues this long-standing tradition Insuring safe and convenient access to the beaches within this District. -24- (Q062d) 3.3 CIrCUla do The provision of adequate transportation is an important concern for any development program. The Downtown Specific Plan calls for the use of a variety of transportation modes to facilitate the convenient and efficient movement of people in and near Downtown Huntington Beach. Beach Goers. commuters, Downtown supers and local residents all .hare the circulation system, and each has their own transportatim needs. The Downtown Specific Plan attempts to provkle a circulation system that better accommodates all users with the following objectives: - Provide convenient access to the, beach and to beach parking facilities. - improve safety and efficiency of that existing circulation system. - Provide convenient access to local business, encouraging shoWng on Main Street and in they other commercial Districts In the Specific Plan sr4a. - Facilitate commuter traffic on Pacific Coast Highway by minlmizing crrsa traffic and providing alternative routft for local residents and Choppers. - Provide adequate parking for shoppers patronizing Downtown commercial establishments is well as for residents and visitors. Provision of beach parking is especially Important to ensue that beach users do not compete with shoppers for parting graces, making access to commerciai establishments inconvenient. -- Encotttage and accomrnodnte public tranportation. Accommodate a bikeway systern that m. xx rsges the use of bicycles for everyday tra:opwtatian as well as for recreation. Provide a pee"trian system that la safe, pleasant and corwe�nt. 3.3.1 A.atomobile Circulation The City's Cirt.-Wation Plan of Arterial Streets vend HISbways &Jiffersintiltae arteriab by tl*W street widths and C q pules (mot* Fi,X+e 3.3-1).

"Secondary" arterials are planned at a ROW of 10 feet and can optimally accommodate 20,000 vehicles per day. Local streets are not shown on the CirculatWo Plan, but they are an important part of the overall circulation system. TtiSan Diegg FM CM. an important route outside the Downtown Specific Plan area, parallels the coastline approximately sine mile: inland and connects Huntington Beach with other communities throughout the region. Access to this f-eeway Is critical and may be an important constraint to future development along the coast. Beacuse of its proximity to the shoreline, the Specific Plan area is in a less-than-ideal situation In terms of freeway accessibility. Being fair from the freeway it is presently linked by only a limited number of arterials, segments or which are congested at times. The Downtown Specific Plan has attempted to de--emphasize the area's reliance on the freeway in terms of future growth by encouraging higher density and mixed-use Districts, in the Downtown. In addition, the concentration of people and activities into a compact area helpx to make mass transit more viable than In scattered locations. Thus, while the Downtown is not ideally located in terms nf the freeway, actions are being undertaken to ameliorate this situation. The improvements proposed for the Downtown Specific Plan area are Intended to augment the capacity of the existing circulation system and to increase its safety and efficiency. Cloldenwest StreCt and .Beach ilevard, located at either end of the Downtown Specific Plan area, are the major arterials connecting the coastal area to the freeway and inland communities. Based on the design and capacity criterta traffic on Beach Boulevard cvrrently exceeds that street's optimum capacity from Warner Avenue north to the freeway. Existing traffic on Goldenwest Street is not as great as that on Beach Boulevard; however, the optimum capacity of this street is also exceeded from McFadden Avenue north to the freeway. The Initial focus of the plan is to increase the accessibility of the coastal area to the freeway. The Orange County Transportation Commission and the City are studying the area between Gothard Street and Beach Boulevard as a possible location for a transportation corridor. Along Beach Boulevard alternative modes to the automobile are being considered ar well as ways to Increase automobile capacity through different loading techniques. Pacify C=t Highway (PC is the major traffic carrier in the Downtown Specific Plan area. Running parallel to the shoreline, it pmrAdes the principle accesv route connecting Huntington Beach with adjacent coastal cities. This four-lane highway. currently designated as a primary areterial, Is proposed to be upgraded to a ►najor status. PCH should be increased from four lanes to six.

Thfs will bw*asar the capselty ut PCH to tMt of a t NOW ortWU1 wIthint than adstitg 100' right-a-way. -26- (OOiZD1 r A*,k] Traffic volume on PCH creates one of the most significant circulstbn problems In the Downtown area. A variety of impnwements to lntorior streein as weii as to PCH are proposed to help reduce congestion. Accidents along PCIR are also a serious problem. One of the reasons for the high accident rate is the large number of pedestrians coming to the beach from inland areas, crossing PCH at mid-block or at ixx Ignalized Inter- sections. Another hazard is created by automobiles turning from PCH to numbered streets, and from numbered streets to PCH, at the non-signalized Intersections. Cw11&t -side parking on PCH Creates another source of accidents. Several actions can be taken to improve these conditUxu. F!rst, a compre- hensive signalization pattern, will better control vehicle access onto PCH. Second, the number of streets with access to PCH should be reduced. This can be achieved by cul-de-lacing or in some areas creating parking bays in the existing street right-of-way. The follow+ng streets are possible locations for restricted access: 2nd. 3rd, Sth, 7th. gth, loth. 12th 13th. 15th, 16th, 18th, 19th, 21st ared 22nd. In multi-block developments, access to the project could be taken from existing streets but through-traffic should be discouraged. A third method to control access Is to construct a rained landscaped media.: along the entire length of PCH, with openings only at through-streets and signalized intersections. Such a median could bract separate traffic and be designed to inhibit pedestrian mid-block crc4sings. Fourth, reducing on-l:reet parking along PCH will Help eliminate ano%%.i: source of serious accidents. Fifth, construction of overpaises at key locations along PCH would provide safe pedestrian access, and reducing Interruptions to the automobile traffic now. Finally. prohibition of curb cu-is on PCH could also help reduce accidents. This strategy requires alternative access points for new developments. in the area between Lake Street and Beach Boulevard. the proposed Walnut Avenue extension could serve new developments. Northwest of Lake Street. additional dedication should be required to increase the width o' the parallel alley, so that access can be taken from the alley and not directly from the highway. AjUnt venue should serve as an important route from Beach boulevard to the Downtown core and The City beach. This arterial should be planned to connect. with Lake Street and Orange Avenue to form an inland route which can be used as an alternative to Pacific Coast Highway. The Intersection of Atlanta Avenue, Lake Street and Orange Avenue should be set askie for additional study. mange Avg" - Atlanta Avenue should service the Downtown core as a primary arterial, however, the continuation of Orange Avenue into the Townlot area should remain as oniy one lane in each direction. The use of some type of traffic control device may be rt~:'.fired at the intersection of Orange Avenue and Sixth Street to divert the Downtown traffic away from the residential areas. This intersection should be set aside for additional study. 5ftt aJj2n�tree _Lod _t&te 5t_reet are the existing primary rrterlals leading inland from the beach area.

Maip.,StrCit Is a more significant local route which riots through the center of Downtown core and Is in direct line with the municipal pier. Its relationship to the pier and the Downtown core make )ruin Street the most Important visual/pedestrian corridor in the Downtown art&. Main Street's role as an automobile carrier within the Downtown should be de-emphasized with primary concern focused on pedestrian circulation. Main Street should continue inlarwi from the Downtown core as a local street with one large of travel In each direction. Consideration should be Siven to connecting lncliananolisAipsnu , designated as a secondary arterial, with Main Street and the Downtown area. The intersection of Main Street and Sixth Street with d possible Interconnection to Indianapolis Avenue via Lake Street tweeds additional study. Qgshard_Streg% also provides a logical transportation corridor, with a connection at Main Street. Modes ogler than automobiles should be considered. The Southern Pacific Railroad maintains an operable line along this corridor, (north of Garfield Avenue) connecting to the Pacit'ic Electric; right-&-way which runs parallel to Lake Street (south of Garfield Avenw.) into the Downtown. These routes may be critical to the efficient movement of people through the City in the future. A Walnut Avenugcgeas A, could serve as another inland route to cowtect Beach Boulevard and Lake Street. if possible, this route should be designed to tie into any future extension of Hamilton Avenue west to death Boulevard. Right-of-way dedication for this purpose should be required In new developments in this area. This street could provide safe and convenient access to the commercial sreas east of Lake Street and sr. alternative to PCH. Total right-of-way width for this service road, should be 100 feet (primary arterial) to accommodate four traffic lanes, a landscaped median, landscaped parkway. sidewalks and bike lanes. V11aware S=;j .should also serve as an Inland route from PCH r.nd should remain as a secondary arterial highway. Delaware Street should connect with Huntington Street and ultimately with PCH at the present intersection of Huntington Street and PCH. Long range development In the Downtown area may require vacation al streets to accommodate multi-block develm-nments. Some possible locatlws for abandonments would be the first block of Fifth, Stcond and Third Streets. In the area bounded by Orange, Palm, Lake and Sixth a "super block" development concept is being considered. This would require vacation of nearly all streets within District 6. Proposed Improvements to the circulation s3/.tetm can be provided br utilizing a combination of funding sources. Some projects, such as the PCH re-stripling project. qualify to be at least partially funded by State and Federal highway nmWes.

These Districts are de&igeMd to charge develcpe and property owners who will directly benefit from the improvement. In caste whore additional right-of-way is needed, dedtication requirements can be placed an new developments as a condition of approval. The future development of commercial uses In the Downtown will depend or. the ability of the circulation system to move people through the art& efficiently. The Circulation Plan of Arterial Streets and Highways should be amended to reflect the propr• 1 changes as dlscribed in this section (see Figure 3.3-3). 3.3.2 Parking The provision of adequate parking is vital to the successful operation of any commercial area. Residents, businessman. visitors, and planners erch have different definitions of the word adequate when it pertains to parking. The procedures used to develop and control parkins spaces in typical urban areas vary appreciably and at times become rather complex. Parking strategies for the Downtown Specific Plan area, for both normal residential and commercial requirements, ary complicated further by the proximity of the beach and the different types of parking needs of beach uses. Although no formal parking strategy has been prepared by the City, consideration has been given to various procedLres which could he used to identify and satisfy the parking needs of differern types of parker:. Parking spaces for Downtown shoppers should tk provided at a limited number of curb spaces. in off-street parking lots and I.-r! parking structures located within or Immediately adjacent to the Downtown area. Parking controls. such as time limits and parking rates. should be adjusted to maintain the desired use of these spaces by stoppers and employees. The location of parking in relation to Downtown commercial areas is constrained by the availability of land, its high coat (either in dollars or in lost opportunities) and the distance which people are willing to walk from centralized lots or structures to reach their destination. Studies have shown that in order to receive optimum utilization by shoppers, a parking facility should be within 300 to 400 feet of the commercial use which it seines. For workers, or other people who are parking for the whole day, the distance can be as great as 1 .500 feet. These constraints must her coon ed when t-valuating possible locations for parking facilities. A possible site for a structure would be the City-owned property located south of Orange Street between Fifth and Main Streets which cam.is%$ of 10 carmlidated lots. This would be an excellent location for WvIng future Downtown development. Other parking facility sites within the Cvwntown roger may be neede4 depending on the coniolidsti n petternr and intercity of uses which develop there. As specific projects are developed, such as hotels. eommerefal, office and/or residential complexes, their individual psrkistg n w do will be 4dentiriod and satiaflrd ttrou& the c.a wwxtian a( spedfic grad relates, parting fadlitift These prariit :pules dwuid bf oontr glad to raryb desires and real open to gown I public ure. Y%. (0062D) If #O""' I New commercial and restaurant dievebpmerat on the beach We of hdfk Coast Highway. an or adjacent to the plar, should be cmmtructed as top of a decked parking structure which could be open to that public and woAd providat parking for a variety of pstrons of the pier facilities, the .utaurants, she commercial establishments along Main Street, and the beach users. Since the periods of peak parking demand for these diffemt types of users vary to some extent. the utilization of the parting structure will be improved and parking revenues from it will be inereased. Although a large number of parking spaces are now provided for beach users, there is at shortage during periods of peak partronage and drivers attempt to find open, and free, curb parking spaces In residential and other areas inland of Pacific Coast Highway. Consideration should be given to the use of remote parking areas and jitneys or other means of direct transportslon to and from the beach. While this procedure is not considered to be viable at this time, it is planned that continuing efforts will be made to develop this type of service. The replacement of beach parking lots with structures provides a means of Increasing capacity without sacrificing additional valuable beach space. This action is expensive, however. and is not felt to be economicaliy justifiable at this time since additional beach parking is presently required only during a limited number of peak weekend hrsurs a year. Much of the presently vacant land in the Townlot area. however, to now used for perking purposes by beach users and this land will be absorbed into development projects. When that occurs, thousands of future beach users will be required to find other parking spaces. Consideration should be given to the possible development of joint use parking structures adjacent to ttm beach area. The owners of residences and their guests frequently enc"ter problems due to the intrusion of beach users into residential areas in search of parking spaces. While the closing of various streets between Walnut Avenue atW Pacific Coast Highway may alleviate this condition to some extent, It will not completely solve the problem. Public participation in providing parking could help to encourage uses which otherwise would not be viable. For example, the City could participate in forming parking assessment Districts, or could donate land (such as street vacations) or write-+sown land costs for the construction of parking strictures. Merchants could then lease space in these structures On ars annual fee basis or by setting up a srtem of validated parkins. Aft new development occures, each developer could be assessed an in-lieu fee to offset t1w costs of building parkins structures nearby, thus satisfying parkins requirements. I Additional parking opportunities may also be developed into the op landscaping project presently under Phase one cxsnstruction. t phases to this project could include surface parking between 9th and IIth streets, parking pockets On Pacific Coast Highway and parking st,or.ttr� ,)n the oil service road below the bluff face, where they cat, be *OVft d from the highway and not block ocean views. � w (OUID) Fintrncing strategies are Important rorrridierations for actual implementation of parking structures. Parking structures could be provided by the private sector, however, the problem of aasembling large parcels under the prressnt fragmented owftneships and the difficulties in bringing a large amber or parries together cooperatively, makes this option difficult to achieve. One form of public participation in parking would be a .point *front by the City and private interests. The City could build structures with "in-lieu" fees and allow a private company to operate the structures for profit. The City might receive a portion of the reventwo to :�xire any debt. W-lieu fees could substitute for the provision of on-site psriAng by new development. These fees would be paid to a fund administered by a City parking agency which would obtain sites and construct parking structures. In-lieu fees provide dollars for capital improvements, but not for orr-going operation and maintenance. One approach to covering these expenses is to require continuing responslbllf.y for oft-site parking by those deveiopraents which originally contracted for it by charting yearly fees based on the number of spaces provided. Operations and maintenance could also be supported in part by charging parking fees to users. These fees could Le paid neither by the patrons directly or by the businesses through validating parking tickets for customers. Even with some form of parking fee, however, operating and maintenance costs may be so high that additional subsidy would be required. Another mechanism for providing and maintaining parking facilities is the formation of an assessment District. An assessment District can be created by the City Council's adoption of a resolution following a public hearing for which all the property owners of record within the ptvposed District have received notification. If written protests are received fr»rn more than 50 percent of the property owners. the Council may not proceed with formation of the District unless four-fifths of the Council concur. An assessment District may issue bonds in order to finance improvements. Other combinations of financings and maintenance strategies could be devised which utilize features of both In-lieu tees and assessment Districts. Through redevelopment in the Downtown/Specific Plan area, tax increment financing is also available and conutitutes another option for funding. 3.3.3 Public Transportation The existing public transportation system consists primarily of Orange County Transit District (OCTD) bus service; however, Greytwxxrd, cirport and other charter bus companies also operate in the Specific Plsn area. The OCTD currently rnaintairis but litres on a regular basw throughout the Downtown area. OCTD planners, in can unctioe with the City's Development Services arid Public Works Departments, determine the need for imprvvetaoato to the existing bur system. C "ently, existing bus routes within the Spedne Mad area we sufficient. Expansion of the system would Involve 00 b� ar more fraquent trips on existing routes. The arost likely chairs to On systm is the near treat will be a seasonal increa w in the number of born running on the beedw-orie+nted routes. 00 I As projwcts ov fnled Improve awreis to the ousting transpiration gsten eft am - sawately be detern:nsd. These larprovetsents can Ow be recmm*nded to OCTD planners for their review. Any proposed modification to the system mutt be approved by OCTD prior to brim attached as a corklition for pro)ect approval. At the present time bus routes enter the Downtown area via Atlanta Avenue, Lake Street, Main Street and Orange Avenue, and stove throes the area on either Olive or Walnut Avenue. Additional bus se.Mce which does not actually enter the Downtown area Is provided along Pacific Coat Highway. Future bus traffic should circulate around the Downtown core are+t using 6th Street, Paclfle Coast Highway, Lake Street and Orange Avenue, except those now traveling only along Pacific Coast Highway. This will provide service to both the Downtown and the beach are". If a transit Center is developed at the intersection of Lake Street and Pacific Coast Highway, all Downtown buses would pass the location and transfers would be facilitated. In addition to the buses and the routing system, support facilities are needed to make the transit system efficient and convenient. In late 1919, the City of Huntington Beach, in conjunction with OCTD, conducted a study to analyze sites for a transit center where people would have centralized access to numerous bus routes and where drivers could rest and buses could be temporarily stored. The report concluded that two such centers should be developed: one et Cothard Street gear Huntington Center and one at L.-t'.e Street near PCH. The latter facility, which is within the SW.ific Plan area, would be for the routes serving beach visitors and persons patronizing the Downtown commercial establishments. Special requirements for the center were bared on current but arrivals and departures and on the frequencies projected for 1995. A total of 12 to 14 bus bays would be needed to meet maximum projected summer traffic during the next decade. The center would also include a passenger waiting area with a 5.000 square foot platform, which would be large enough to safely accommodate the large number of ricers on a typical summer weekend. Presently, the curb-side parking lane an the t outh aide of PCH, east of Lake Street. is used for beach-route bus layovers. Upon completion of CalTrans' PCH restriping project, however, this section will become a travel lane; thus, a new location for the layover area will be necessary. A now lay-over facility could be developed Immediately adjacent to the existing site and seaward of the existing right-+of-way between PCH and the beach pnirlting lot. The new layover area should consist of an expanded passeiver waiting platform. additional accessways to the beach, and a curb cut to provide a turnout for bus parking. The proposed project would nOCOAlltatr ft removal of some landscaping; however, It will not require the loss of UV parking spaces. In addition a bus stop/bay tsha W be provided narthwestbound at Blain Street. -r Z- 062M r-� This layover was MmId be adequate for OCTD's beach-related transit center needs as currently projected to 1"S. However, if the Dwrnimm develops into an attractive tourist area with higher density mixes-use development, It Is likely that a larger public transit facility would be necessary in tt a future. The Specific Plan recommeixls that the option for such a center be preserved now because of its potential Importance to the long-term traroWtation needs of the area. One possible location for the transit center Hould be the City property south of Orange Street between Sth and plain Streets. As previously mentioned, this site is an excellent one for a public parking structure and a transit center could easily be incorporated into the same building. Another possible location would be somewhere In or rwar the "super block" (District 6). Because the City Is considering vacating streets in this area, there It potential for providing public land for such a facility. Locating the transit center at a Downtown location such as this +one would be advantageous for shoppers and would increase pedestrian activity aloes- Main Street. Other locations could be possible and any larger-stile parking structure built with public assistance should be designed so that a portion could be converted to such a public transit center in the future. While the existing transpkrtation system is limited to buses, future transportation systems may include rail or monorail service, to the Downtown Specific Plan area. Orange County, along with other regional jurisdictions, is currently studying possible transportation corridors. Within the City of Huntington Beach, the existing S.;,uthern Pacific Railroad ROW through the industrial corridor along Gothard Boulevard could be utilised for passenger service. The Pacific Electric Railroad ROW psrallei to lake Street may also be available for some kind of alternate transit system. The Orange County Transportation Commission is also studying the gesch Boulevard corridor. The use of this artery for modes other than cars or buses could provide the Downtown area with a vital regional link. Such systems must be developed on a regional basis. creating a greater-than-local network. One Important consideration in encouraging mass transit is the creation of an activity center which attracts enough people so that a mass transit stop or station is practical. The Orange County Transportation Commission is currently studing alternative transportation procedures which could be used to improve. travel flows In a beach Boulevard corridor which extends from the or..ean on the south to La Habra on the north and lies between Valley View Avenue on the west and Euclid Street on the east. The alternatives being studied Include Transportation System Management (TSM) procedures, some "flyowwe on Beach Boulevard and less capital-intensive improvements on other arterials, I major highway Improvements at critical locations. a freeway whk:h would generally follow Beach Boulevard, but improvements, hii-otct: wX7 vehicle bus lanes, and light rail transit.

Several bike trails exist within the Downtown Specific rwn, the foremost being the coast line trail. This recently compietrd bikeway begins at the north end of Bobs Chica State Beath and travels south thnougl. the City Beach and Huntington State Beach to the mouth of the Santa Ma River where It connects to other coastal and Inland trails. The trail Is completely separated from PCH, (clasa 1). eliminating the hazards creatrd by bikes and automobiles sharing the same right-of-way. The proximity of the Coast to the ocean makes It a very pleasant ride, affording bemutiful views of the coastline along Its entire length. Within the Specific Plan area, the coast trail is connected so two inland bike tails, which extend along Seventeenth Street and Lave Street. Tbes+e traits consist of striped bicycle lanes incorporated Into the existing strett right-of-way (Class 2). Major improvements to the existing bikeway s),vtem in the Specific Plan area have I;een proposed In the City's master plan for bikeways, including new routes along Atlanta Avenue and Coldenwest Street. Priorities for bikeways are established by the City and Improvements i,nd additlorn to the bikeway system are budgeted annually. Another important project is the construction of a bicycle path crossing under the Santa Ana River Bridge at PCH. Although not within the Specific Plan boundary, this crossing will provide, a crucial link between the Santa Ana River Trail and Huntington Beach bike trails. Currently, the only means for bicyclists to cross PCH is with the trafric signal at Brorkhurst Street. The undercrossing will provide a much safer and mote direr.: connection, snaking a more effective bicycle transportation system fear inland cyclists to reach the beach. A new trail should be developed along with the Walnut Avenut extension, connecting Downtown to the cvmmercial/recreatIon area near Beach Boulevard. The old Pacific Electric right-of-wa), should also be devekped as a new trail linking the Inland resicsential area with the ►xach. The funding for most bike trail improvements comes frrm 5B 121 monies. which are distributed through the Orange County Transportation Commission to local governments. Pro)ects are budgeted an an annual basis. The costs of projects vary considerably depending on their nature. Completion of all the Improvements are expected In a timely marrwer consistent with the City's overall master plan. 3.3.5 Pedestrian Circulation In tin Downtown area, walking should be an Im tarn aws le Of tranapmrtath nt.

The pedestrian transportation system will be especially vital hi linking the beaches, blufftop landscaped area, and the pier to inland visitor-oritented commercial Districts. In all cases, the pedestrians system must be safe, pleasant, ,drui convenient. One of the most Irnpoi-tent pedestrian routes is the lateral access along the shorty. In the Downtown SF vific Plan area, the entire shoreline is open to the public; with the exception of one residential complex northwest of the pier, there are rw private developments between PCH and the ocean. Continuous pedestrian accem is provided jrlortg the public beach. There is Mso a continuous hard surface pedestrian route or sidewalk akx g PCH be; ween Beach Boulev N and Goidenwest Street. In addition, the coast bike :sal provides a lateral aciessway extending the entire length of the Specific Plan area, which is also designed for handicapped persons using wheelchairs. Special pedestrian features should also be planned for the Main Stseel. corridor. Main Street shosild be a lively, active commercial District at the street level. The first floor of deveioprtsents along Main Street shouki be commercial, with open-air establishments encouraged. Structures shoul.i be built along a co:,tlnuous retail facade near the sidewalk. The sidewalk should be wide enough for convenient passage, but relatively intimate so that pedestrians will Le near the stares and the retail fronts will demand their attention. Main Street should remain or*-way with limited vehicular access and parking. Corner plazas rhould be required with large consolidations to provide places for people to sit arl relax. The plazas could provide an entry way to the Main Street corridor and commercial Des tract. Sidewalks should be required on all public right-of-ways, providing a basic and compTehens;ve pedestrian network. in some Districts, dedication may be required for public pa 7-mays and sidewalks. One of the major challenSes to the pedestrian system Is providing safe access across PCH. Th;s connection is especially important for visitor-miented commercial areas which rely on their proximity to the beach and pier as an amtni,y to draw custorrsers. Provision of sere and convenient pedestrian ctnsship through a series of traffic signals and overpasses should be encourage d. The median along PCH should be designed and landscaped consistent with the Downtown thecae and should discourage mid-block pedestrian cromings. The median should be imbrol.-en except for Intersections with traffic signals. Overpasses or underpasses might be especially important in the commercial/recreation Districts where hotels are proposed. A direct, convenient cormction to the popular City beach could be an important feshre in thte succon or such developeants. Overgamm coned be designed for use by the 0mrtiI public, and a dimt ccranrctio n for bcowl davtldrp.=itt, pnNking cycaverdmt beach atv-ow Ch►wRM� racy siso provide convenient co eec.dan between w amercial and public facilitfAis, like a hotel and w useum. The Importance cif tying the Main Street carrtdar to the Mudcipsl Pki so part of a unil'led visitor-oriented commercial District m=msts the sag for a grade separatal pedestrian crossind at Main Stmt. Six lanes 0 M#)rway will separate the pier and the Downtdwrtt commercial District, a trsffIc signal can only pt;riodically lwovide safe access. If the. commerciaal Difttricts. are successful, pedestrian volume will Increase to this area. This will requirt.- the; signals near the Downtewn to provide increasingly kqWr and mare frequent traffic: strxo to facilitate pedestrian rnmement., disruptigl automobile now on PCH. Thus, the advantage of an ovMpw at Mt location would be to pi'hvide for a continuous pftysicai connection iietwesti Main Street anti the pier, whUe not obstructing vehicular traffic. As 83 alternative to an averposs, an underpass could be ootnidered In =Lkmflon with some well-lighted perep1wral shops which would reduce tht tunnt!l effect. The ma)or faci"sties which could require significi nt public Fwticipatien to develop are the overpasses. Cats can be reduced trj the use ttf publicly-owned lasd on both sides of PCH. Public funds such as Coastal Conservancy grunts can be used to help build these kinds of facilities, and bn many Instances the ;xa-. osed overpasses can be constrtctisd with a combination of public and private monies. f'undir; sources include tax to its tees State is the Increment, rp►rciai assess en on serviced proper g*an , municipal general funds:, earmarked fees at City and State beaches, development Incentives, and contributions by DCTD as part of a tram it center. -I �3b- (CORD) ram+. 3.4 QVSn U= The open space framework is comprised of focal points, Districts and entry nodes interconnected by pedestrian and vehicular corridors. Each District and focal point accommodates a distinct mix of pedestriatVvehieular activities, events and landscape base with a hierarchy of use and visibility. P'l*iW&l design elements in each space or corridor are intended to enhance the viewer experience to create an interesting environment. The proposed Open spaces and landscape concepts are a means of coordinating design which Is both suppo"ive or and independent of the architectural forts. The major- objective is to unify open space and physical structures into a homages 'sense of place" or community of distinct Districts with a common theme. The design concept describes an area-wide landscape rramework to order to create a positive unified Image through landscaping. Landscaping will visually tie together the diverse built environment and Introduce a softer, human element into the harder surrounding architectunl elements. It also is intended to provide diversity, contrast and color in an ocear.,-oriented environment. Existing landscaping in the Downtown is minimal. Recently the City provided landscape and streetscape Improvements to plain Street, in order to de-emphasized its use for vehicular traffic by making It a one--way street to encourage pedestrian traffic. While chest improvements have helped stimulate Interest along Main Street, major work is still needed to create an atmospheere that links Main Street to the pier and other Downtown areas. A comprehensive landscape and arch!te- +al framework will help accomplish this and visually unify the Specific Platt arcs- This framework should be band on focal points, Districts and entry nodes (see Figure 3.4). The landscaping a vislotud could create a dramatic change in the Downtown Specific plan atmosphere, it would be ideal to make all hmprovetaento at the same time as pram of an initial thrust. This can be accomplished if the City invests the axwwy to fund landscaping up front, the costs of Inprovemena could then be passed on to property ownsers through an assessment District, or reimbursed by tax increment financing. Ongoing maintenance of lanwscaping roust also be provkWd. It the Improvements are installed by the City prior to development taking pl the City will have to maintain there. This could p3ace a burden on Use alrealr hard-primed maintenance budget. An ahtex ative would be to roses maintenance assessment Districts so that prcwvw,-%0ks berwritted by the Improv monts would pay far their upkeep.

This area should InclWe fast food stands and novelty shops, eating areas, umbrellas and overhead porticos are recommended. Banners, graphics, color scheme, and "pier boardwalk" sigulle will create a festive atmosphere and further complete the traraltion from this area to the Main Street plaza. Lighting will also be extremely important in promoting a day and night activity area. Other possible uses in this area are a museum and new dining establishments in a multi-level area, and the necessary parking to support these functiom. Pedestrian movtment, strolling: window shopping and eating should be the primary focus of this area. i B. MAJA street Plaza - The Main Street plaza should be a focal point inland from Pacific Coast Highway. Strong landscape elements such as color and texture should be IncorWated into 01s area. Examples of this would be large paving areas with bollards, raised planters, eye-catching graphics, and banners. The outdoor aspects emphasised to include street furnishings, dining areas, kiosks, and seating areas. The passible development of i theme structure may also be appropriate. A water feature could also provide a strong link to the ocean. Pedestrian activity Is critical in this area. The area should develop as the destinatioo node on Pacific Coast Highway. C. Igwn Sc. uarg,(&"r "Hack - The Town Square is envisioned as a gathering spot; a resting osisis with neighborhood shopping plaza containing terraced walks, retail stores, and patio dining. It will serve as the terminus of new development and mark the beginning of the transition to the established rweighborhoods. Bescuse of its relationship to the Main Street pedestrian area. this plaza should incorporate kiosks. street furniture, transit shelters and possibly a water feature to emphasize the human scale. L..andscaping in this area should consist of grove snd specimen vegetation. Equally important to landscaping and architecture within the actual Districts Is the treatment of entryways and transitional areas between the Downtown Districts and existing neighborhoods. The main entry ways are seen as the "front doors" to the community. They must provide entry exp+triirrce and physical definition. They will also define the edge of the City In relationship to adjacent beach communitites. Possible elements which could be Incorporated Into these are the Huntington Beach logo. District graphics. and vertical pylons with up-lighting. Landscaping should include the "theme" palms to estabiish a concept which will be carried out through the corridors and Districu. Other important landscape areas are nodes at crosswalks and main entry portals to the Plan area. The followinS discussions highlight some ret MM*& nd Improvements. (00620) WMA �.

Tree spacb* will afro be of coon m. spacing should be appmMmately 30'-40' an center. buffing the parting areas along the highway should also be attempted, possibly with a terraced garden walkway to the parking levels. - EadgjAy_Treatment - Parkway treatment will help create the City Image. The proposed Walnut Avenue extension and other arterials in the Downtown area should combine an intensity of native plants with the "theme" palms in the landscaped areas. These streets should provide ample setbacks for the type of landscaping that pn)motes color and variety. and helps to soften adjacent developments. - Residentl2l Edge Entry - Special entry edge uvatmont will provide a visual transition from existing single family homes to higher density housing. This will help establish an identity and familiarity to streets and new districts. This can be accomplished through use of structural portals with vines. Lighting can be used in conjunction with the" to create night-time sculptural qualities. Enriched pavement Brill help to promote pedestrian now and slow vehicular approach In thm areas, which will enhance the pedestrian experience in the area. Cron-walk Nada - Cross-walk modes are collector/meeting points for pedestrian traffic from the beach into neighbarhaods or the village center. Primary elements at these points are the street name siprw, traffic sigma and crosswalk indicator. That can be Incorporated Into an overhead signage area. Trees can be planted In these areas to create a visual axis from the ocean to inland streets. - &U Park - The establishment of an area devoted to works of art which center on the ocean-oriented theme. Lally a cultural activity node with ample green apace and a gardenesque ambience could be developed. However, spreading the arts theme throughout the Downtown area by proo0ding piece of sculpture in various public spaces may worst equally as well. -39.0 i rat 1 r- 3.5 Public F3cLtlez In addition to the public facilities and utilities generally provided by a local jurisdictlon, other civic amenities would be desirable to further enhance the Specific Plan area. These amenities may be provided by the City, other public agencies, or by private parties and could include a wide assortment of specialized um ranging from parks to a library, post office, theater or museum. Because the Interest In or desire for such amenities in an urban setting varies greatly, their Incorporation into the Specific plan is only suggested. The actual facilities would be built If and whey pverwa t and/or private groups determined that their establishment within a prepared development would be beneficial. The Specific Plan area Is in a prime location for public facilities. The area includes two important parks: Huntington City Beach and Bolsa Chica State Beach. Both of these parks not only provide extraordinary recreation and aesthetic amenities to local residents, but also attract large rnuasbers opt visitors from outside the City. This latter quality makes theses facilities crucial to the viability of future development such as hotels and visitor-oriented commercial. Huntington Beach Mtoticipai Beach (the City beach) is the most popular beach In Orange County and Is often sited as an example of outstanding landscaping and design. The City beach also Includes the pier, which is one of the most significant features in the plan area. Bois& Chica State Beach, (in the area of the Downtown Specific flan) has been the site of oil production facilities for many decades. As a result of this, the bluff area and beach has historically been underutilized and urtatttactive. The City, with the cooperation of the State Department of Parks and Recreation, and the oil companies, his completed a landscape plan for the entire bluff area. This area will be developed to include a bUm trail, new accessways from the bluff to the sand, and a phased landscaping plan. In addition to the State and City beaches other civic amenities in the Downtown area are the public library at Main Street and OrwW Avenue. and the United States port office at plain Street and alive Avenue. Additional public facilities may be envisioned and may be apprquUte for inclusion in the Downtown Specific Plan. Many of the amenitks suggasted can be unilaterially instigated by the City. such as a library or part. Odws will require the cto�p erstion of other agencies or groups, whose perticipation -40- (i GID) /"") grassy rmp from Minor tr t'W"tmt to 4o""tr ptrowision.

One possible location would be in the District 6. Must= - A museum might be the type of amenity which would augment the visitor-serving atmosphere or the Main Street-Pier axis. This type of facility cook! be either publicly or privately financed. The area provides an appropriate setting for reveal ocean-related museum themes such as oiceangraphy, archaeotosr,, natural history, local history, the oil industry operations and surfing. The historic aspect or the all-producing facilities In the region as it relates to the ocean's edge - an oil-rich environment could be part of the museum theme. As a paint of intemt to visitors, the oil Industry could be recognized through strategic location of oil-producing machinery, such as a large rocker an pump, treated as environmental sculpture and public art. An oil Industry museum could be a dram, but in itself a relatively lesser one. A museum could be best located in the pier area district 10 which could serve as an anchor point for the Main Street-Pier axis. Ocean Lift Intl=etive Center An attraction of this type mould be aimed at the regional visitor who may have already seen Marineland or Sea World. This would be a unique attraction emphasizing human exploration, use and relationship to the ocean, and the effect upon its ecology. Working models, full-scale submersible *ploratlon equipment, and other interpretive exhibits on the ocean and man could be presented. The off sure all rigs are a natural tie-in to what ft -. l comrAnies are doing to mitigate impacts for example. lids attraction should be closely related to the pier head, the beach and the ocean to maximize the relationship. This can be a landmark structure with a unique architectural rorm. - AtalarJUM - An amenity similar In nature to a museum and also appropriate for a beach area would be an aquarium. like a museums, an aquarium could be either publicly or privately financed. The dust likely location for an aquarium would be on or adjacent to the pier. Such a facility could be combined with a research laboratory. A variant of the typical aquarium Is an underwater observatory, accessed from the pier, when visitors can look out and observe 1- (0061D) +too,) marine life in their natural habitats. To be tntereatistg, howwver, such an observatory should be located in a rocky am or moss to a manmade or natural reef which attracts fish and other marine organisms. A marine research laboratory would be a valuable meet and could be combined with an sguarium. EstablWd% a research facility would require soliciting the interest of .duetional or resewch Untitutioot. Such a venture probably entails significant ground warp and would need strong City commitment to implement. However, the intamt and prestige generated by a marine research lab could add significantly to the revitalization efforts of the Downtown. SSUMUS it of Ea ee - This Idea is related to Huntington leach's reputation as a top surfing spot and the site of the national surfing championships. This theme plays up the surfing presence as a posidwe element and provides customers for beach level retail outlets. A surfing Hall of fame or other point of interest could be Incorporated Into new development at the pier in c oojection with the restaurants and viewing points for watching the surfing actioe and competition. TbeatefotAuditosiu,_m - A community theater or auditorium could be built by the City or a private developer, or by a joint venture of public and private groups. A theater could be located in the area immediately across from the pier area as part of a ltsrge consolidated project. A theater or auditorium would be a cultural asset to the City and act as a focal point or showcase for many civic purposes such as meetings, lectures, professional or communtiy theater, or musical groups. A mall or plaza around a theater might also function as an urban open space, nethetically enriching the Downtown. CwygWipa Cente - The largest public amenity which could be provided in the Downtown area would be a convention center. A convention center would probably be a City project and could be located on City property. These are the only locations with enough npace for parking and the related facilities to sttppor•t a convention center, if a convention center were to be built, hotel and motel accommodations, with their attendant restaurants and shape, would be. needed to house and serve conventioneer. fW - The pier, located at the end of Main Street, provides the focal point for Downtown Huntington Beach. Originally canatructed in 1914, portions of the pier are currently in need of major repair. The Specific Plan envisions restoration of the pier in conjuction with expanded visitor serving and recreational ups. With these Improvements complete, the pier would become the hub of a major tourist recreatknal area and the catalyst for commercial revitalization Downtown. -42- (0062D) 3.6 u 3.6.1 Sewerage System The provision of adequate sewerage facilities in the Specific flan area is an Important prerequisite to development. A sewerage system In an urbrn area like Huntington Beach is composed of shared, public pipelines and related facilities which: collect and transport water-torte wastes away from Individual homes and other establishments, treat this waste, and dispose of It in a manner that is not detrimental to the public health or to the environment. Collection and treatment of sewage In Huntington Ileach is accompiidw by a combination or City and County facilities which include pipes, pump stations and a treatment plant. Small sewer pipes collect wastewater from Individual buildings and oil facilities. The sewage Is then transported through a series of Consecutively larger pipelines to a treatment plant where It is treated and discharged into the ocean. The larger pipelines Into which sewage from the many smaller sewer% flows, are called "trunk sewers" or "trunk lines." An adopted sewerage plan for the Orange County Sanitation District No. 11 proposes extending a large colkoctor or trunk sewer, the Coast Trunk sewer within the Specific Plan area from Lake to Goldenwest Street. The extension of the Coast Trunk sewer to Goldenwest Street will alleviate problems which exist in portions of the older Ocean Avenue Trunk sewer. The new trunk line Is located beneath Walnut Avenue through the Downtown. The remainder of the sewerage system In the Specilk Plan area is oomp�oeed of two other County system trunk sewers which are located beneath Late Street and Atlanta Avenue and numerous City sewers, which are sm1k r than these trunk litres and which are bulled in the alleys throughout the Specific Plan area. In 1979, the City retained the engineering firm of Lowry and Associates to identify those sections within the sewerage system which WQUW be potentially overloaded at ultimate development of the General Plan. The capacity of the sewers in the Downtown and Townlot areas wife not identified as deficient in this study.' Another analysis of the sewers In the Downtown was made by the City In the spri ft of 1 M through the UK of a specially equiplcswd camera which photographs the Insides of sewer pipes. No major obstructions or immediate problems were identified by this method. *The Ceneral Plan has been ats►sndW since this study was crortductid.

There is currently a lack of fwub in County Sodtatim District No. I to complete all the projects shown an the District's Muter Plan; therefore, an annual priority for projects roust be established. The inability of District No, 11 to make all the necessary Improvements could cause problems in local sewers and may constrain development in certain areas of the City unliess other funding sources are ldentifW& County Sanitation District No. 11 is studying the need to establish increased fees In order to fund the needed improvements. No additional major Improvensents, after the Coast Trunk Is completed, are forecast by District No. 11 as necessary in the near term for the Downtown area. The sewer connection fee is the primary source of funding for proposed City sewerage projects. The Public Works De"rtment, as a condition to approving an application for ewer connections, Is authorized to collect a fee for the purpose of reimbuning the City for the cost of uppradintg the sewer system and of future replacements and extenskwo to this system. This fee is placed into the City's sewer fund. The City's sewer fuwl balance is expected to be adequate to fund the maWty of improvements nee ed to correct existing and potential capaci!y, deficiencies and to provide adequate service to new development at ultimate buildout. Replacement of sewers in the Downtown was not Included in this estimate. However, if replacement becomes necessary because of difficulties In connecting the older lines to the new trunk sewer. the City's Department of Public Works estimates that this could cyst approximately 4 million for the entire Townlot/Downtown area. 3.6.2 Drainage The purpose of the City's drainage system is to convey water away from property and streets. The existing drainage system is incorporated Into the City's overall flood control system which Is designed to prevent flooding during heavy storms. Rainfall constitutes the most Ianportant so rce of water runoff; however, activities such as watering lawns and washing can also generate waste water which must be removed and disposed of. The existing drainage system in the Specific plan area is a small portion of a touch larger network which includes regional flood control nian nets maintained by the County and tributary drainage facilities which are the responsibility of the City. Generally speaking, local storm drains and channels flow Into County channels; however, in the Specific Plan area, drain pipes pass underneath PCH and empty directly onto the beach. No County road control channels are located within the Specific Plan area. -44- (Gi0i2�►) In 19799 L.D. Kit and Auwbtw prepred a Math Plan of DraYtegr for the City.

The recommended Improvements by District are %am lined below: Drainage District SH - Extend the existing drains in Go►ldenwest (42 Inches in diameter), Sixteenth (30 inches) and Tweetieth (42 innches) Streets to Orar4e Avenue. Conncatruct i new drain In Eighteenth Street between Orange and PCH. Distract SD - Construct a drain in Thirteenth Street from Orange to the ocean (96 Inches). (completed) District BA - Construct a drain on Sixth Street (42 inches). District SB - No improvemenvio are riscoe mended. Drainage projects are funded primarily through drainage fees. Tine City collects drainage fees from property owners prior to isaft a b&d:1b* permit or recording a subdivision map in any drainage District and depa dts this fee into a "planned local drainage fund" for the purpose of defraying the costs of ecnstructinng master-planned facilities in that District. It is Important that the drainage ft s&s accurately reflect current drainage maids and casts. Each of the City's 34 drainage Districts represent local runoff areas with different drainage characteristics and needs. The amount or the drainage fee is bashed can the estimated costs of master-plaanr►ed facilities and varkm for each drainage District. According to the Statte law (Government Code Section 66493), fees collected from development activi ies in any arm District can only be used to construct facilities in that Distsrict. in some Instances, other sources besides fees, such as dousing and Community Development grant funds or tax-increment from a nxkwelopsaent project, could be available for drainage improvements. The ;ml of all i '%"MMents In Districts SH, SD and =A was estimated at SS.7 raiilion in 1;mpr atsd clri would be constructed with District drainage fees and other sources in accordance with a priority established by the City's Master Island of Drainage. These Districts include significant areas outside the Downtown, and tl:•: current cost of Improvements solely for the 5pecine Plan area has not been computed because It is unlikely that they would be coroUWted separately; each drain in its entirety .could be built as a solution to problems of the larger drainage netwoft. 3.6.3 Water An adequate water papply is necessary to servo now development withdn t1w Specific Plan area.

These mains carry the water from reservoirs to the downtown and Towolot, where diitributlon lines branch off to supply water to itdivk%Al users. In the Downtown and Townlot areas, these branch lines are currently located beneath the alleys. Generally speaking, the large water mains located throughout the City are adequate; however, in the Downtown area the pipet am old, undersized aid in a deteriorating condition. litany of the main will have to be upgtwled or replaced to meet the demands of future development. 'she Public Works Department hu compiled a list of water projects for implementation over a five-year period. Included in this list is the repiacement of old cast iron pipes in the Downtowm Ultimate implementation or then projects is based on a number of cotsWorations. AnwM them, high prWdty is given to projects that provide stern crater supply (i.e., wells) or improve fir% flow deficiencies, and lower priority is given to Improvements such as those Downtown. which may be needed only at ultimate Duels!-out. Improvements to the City's water system are primarily funded out of revenues generated by the sale of water to City residents. A smaller amount of money is also collected from water connection fete charged to new development based on acreage and/or number of units. These revemm are expected to be adequate to cover the nerds for Downtown imprnovetuents. 00�-. 4.0 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.0.01 intent and Purpose The purpose. of this document is to provide for orderly development and Improvement within the Downtown Specific flan.
