NfiKl tN sit Md Ions Mt ' (sltsat Code Amendment No. 88-3 AMNISTRA?IYE QRM i 1 .0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose and Intent The City of Humtington 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 past few years. This location means the City shares a sub-regional market with portions of bn:i Los Angeles and Orange 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 or prime public ocean frontage, with numerous vacant and udder--utilized parcels across from the beach. The potential development sites in the Downtown are sizable and attrlcilve and present various opportunities for corsiderstlon. The City recognizes that market demand will exert pressures for the future development of these parcels. The City must respond to these demands in a manner which %-Ili nchleve the optimum potential while at the same time protecting the existing character of the neighborhoods. 1 - 3- . (0(3G1D� The purpose of the Downtown Specific Plan is to encourage the revitali- zation of this important area Of liuritington Beach. The Plan promotes a mix of commercial. residential, and recreational uses which will be able to take advantage of the area's proximity to the ocean. Many Msct!ons of the ` Downtown project a negative Image of 'Huntington Beach. The effect of these existing conditions is to discourage new Investm:nt, 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 ye3:s, 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 City's Downtown area. The Downtown Specific Plan is Intended to implement the land use designations. In the Coastal Eleme i of the Huntington Beach General Plan. This Specific Plan, along with zoning ordinances for those portions of the City's coastal zone. outside the Downtown ar ta, and In conjunction with a Coastal Zone (CZ) suffix. will be the Implementing phase (phase the ee or final phase) of the Local Coastal Prograrin (LCP). Upon certification of these ordinances by the State Coastal Commission, permit authority for most new development will once again become the responsibility of the City of Huntington Beach. 1.2 Specific. Plan.Rmcedure California State law 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 contain bcath planning policies and regulations, and may combine zoning 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" (Government Code Section 65451). The legislative body may adopt a Specific Plan either by ordinance or resolution (Government Code Section 65507). Adoption by Ardinasice is common when the Specific Plan amends a development code. zoning ordinance, or other code, when specific regulatory measures are Included .when local charters require adoption by ordinance. Resolutions art cummt<nly used when the plan Is snore of a policy document. S:,ould the legislative body wish to change_ a proposed Specific Plan recommended by the Planning Commission, the change must first be referred back to, the Commission for consideration, If not prevlouAy cons!eered, (Government Code Section 65504). if the Commission falls to act on the proposed change within 40 days, it is deemed approved. The same procedure applies to subsequent amendments to the plan. ...4.. (0063D) Adoption or amendment of a Specific Plant constitutes a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State's Environmental Impact Report (EiR) guidelines. If the initial study chows that the proposed or amended General Plan could significantly affect the environment, the Jurisdiction must prepare an EIR and submit tt in draft farm for public review. The reed for an EIR in a particular case is determined by the iocal government. A Specific Plan and an EIR on a Specific Plan overlap extensively; they must address many of the same concerns and the proces.-c for preparing them is nearly identical. Therefore, environmental assessment should be an Integral part of prep.ring nr revising a Specific Plan. i.3 A33i114TiIY i The State, of California requires that all cities and counties prepare atxi adopt a comprehensive General Plan for the physical development of their f area of jurisdiction. Following the adoption of the General Plan, the entity Is required to develop and adopt regulLting programs (zoning and subdivision ordinances, building and housing cosies, 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, 1981 Coun-b j authorized staff %o draft the Downtown Specific Plan as a means of implementing porticns of the Coastal Element. Following review by the. California Coastal Commsssion, the Coastal Element was amended by the City. Council on August 2, 1982, and certified in geographic part by the Coastal Commission in November, 1982. The Coastal Element was again, amended by the. Council on May 16, 1983. This amendment along with any subsequent amendments brought about by the adoption of the Downtown Specific Plan will be submitted to the Coastal Commission for review and certification. 1.4 The Downtown Specific Plan is divided Into four sequential sectiens. The first section describes the purpose and Intent of the Downtown Specific Plan along with a brief explanation of Specific Plan 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 a general description of the. Specific Plan area Including designated land uses, existing Zoning and existing uses along with special charac- teristics and existing conditions which make this area unique. Section Three describes the Specific; Plan design concept. .;The design concept evolves from the objectives outlined In Section One and the existing conditions discussed in Section Two, along with` inpUt from`numerous public meetings and special studies corWucted by and for. the City. Section 1lwee also presents the land uses proposed for varlout districts In the f'owntown area and the circulation, open space, public facilities and Infraatiructure which will support the land uses arxi reinforce the .design ' conce:F:. Strategies,''for. phasing the lmplementa tion of these facilities and features , .are otttlinR.d;-to coordinate •the development of ;the Downtown area and achieve the objectives identifled In the City's Coastal Element. -S- (0062D) - _ - _-- —_ - - - -- - -.�.,....�•r:---•1L�,Mbcl,Yr�.wrr�.r..�r.r..r..: : Sectfon Four presents a detailed description of the development standards which are necessary to gulele and regulate new development as well as to carry out the gou!s ami Fx,llcles of the coastal program. The development standards are listed by district enabling easy comparlson. This section also outlines the administra tivi! procedures and general development provisions which are consistent In onll districts ana apply to all development. The Introduction of; special use overlays for resource production and conservation auras are alto presented. An appendix has been compiled which contains the: spacial reports and studies from which mar), of the concepts in this Specific Plan were derived. , this appendix has not he en Incarporved into this document. Also prepared und,!.t- a separate cover is the Downtown Specific Plan Environm- ental impact Report 82-2. i i i i j i l f f 2.0 AREA DESCRIPTION The Downtown area ;s within the City's coastal acne boundary and presents several particularly complex issues which have led to this unique planning approach. This area is characterized by numerous small parcels and dispersed v unerships with as extremely diverse iilx of ac;tivi:es. Many of j the structures were built in :he 1920's; soma are selsmiu,ily unsafe. In addition, a large portion of the area is present:y vacant wlth� a tremendous potential for develop� -ent. The California Coastal Act adds stall another set of considerations to the planning 'proces by requiring that -certain regional and statewide coastal concerns be included in any plans for the area. 2.1 BgUndaL'Y The Downtown Specific Plan Includes the seventeen blacks on tho ocean side of Walnut Avenue between Goldenwest and Sixth Streets, a central area between Sixth and Lake Streets extending up to Hartford Avennue, and properties' generally south of Atlanta Avenue between Lake Street and Beach Boulevard (see Figure 2.1). , The Specific Plan area also encompasses the beach between Goldenwest Street and Beach Boulevard, including the municipal p!er. The Specific Plan area includes approximately 336 total acres. ..�_ (0062 n) 2.2 Gengr31 Elan S.ASiM Land use designations for the Specific Plan area were established by the City's Coastal Land Use Plan which was adopted as part of the City's Coastal Element and became part of the City's General Plan (see Figure 2.2). The Coastal Element used many 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 Legislation were v1so adopted (VIsitor-Serving Commercial, Mixed--Use (Office/Residential), N'fixed-Use �::orarncrclal/Support Recreation), and Open Space (Recreation). The adopted General Plan designates the seventeen block area between Goldenwest and Sixth Streets primarfly for high density residential use with a maximun allowable dent=ity of 35 units per acre on a fully consolidated block; this area accounts fo- approximately 44 acres. Within this section of the Specific Plan, three nodes are designated for visitor-serving commercial j uses, totalling approximately 8 acres. These commercial modes Inclode a two half blocks between Goldenwest and Twenty-First Streets, and a two half blocks area between Eighteenth and Sixteenth Streets and one half block between Ninth and Eighth Streets. Arnther visitor-serving commercial area is designated adjacent to the municipal pier. This area Includes the five Inland blocks facing Pacific Coast Highway between Sixth and Lake Streets and the pier and,a portion of the public parking lots. The visitor-serving commercial cateoo; Is a new designation created in response to the Coastal Act policy which enec-arages adequate % isitor-- serving facilities in the coastal area. The principal intended uses are hotels, j motels. restaurants, theaters, museums, specialty and beach-related retail, j and service uses. These uses are located near visitor-drawing attractions such as the Municipal Pier and the beaches, and along major access routes from inland areas. Office and resident4., -.ues shall be conditiono] 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 Includes abroad 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. Iwo new mixed use categories were developed for the coastal zone. The intent of the mixed-use office/residential designation is''to allc' w a mix of medium to high density apartments and ,condominiums with profesilow.1 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 toes are also conditionally permitted; however, the ernohasts is on the office/ residential mix. Southeast of the Downtown core is another visitor-serving commercial area adjacent to Pacific Coas: Highway between make and Huntington 'Streets, approximately 13 acres. The area further. south a'iong the 'highway is another new mixed-use dasignatlon, commercial/rerxeation, approximately 29 acres In sizes. This designation conditionally allows commercial facilities as a major use and recreational facilities as a support use. It is especially ..g-- (0062U) appropriate for large areas :ihich can be planned as one coordinated development. The intent is to encourage uses that are o,.,n to the public and that c:apitaliza on the beach 10catiO4. The areas immediately north of the commercial areas adjacent to Pacific Coast Highway are designated for high density residential uses for a total of 51 acres. Another new designation is open space recreation which will accommodate pamive and active recreational uses. The entire beach area has this designation which encompasses approximately 103 acres. 7.3 Ustino Zoo ne Zoning throughout the Downtown area has evolved over the wears. There are predominantly two types of zoning presently in place, commercial (CJ) and residential, with residential densities vanging from low (Oldtown j Specific Plan) to high (114). E The majority of the property betwe:gin Goldenwest and Lake: Streets is Yonnd C3, general business district (Commrrrr 1). Th!s Includes the front half of the &!venteen block3 between Goldenwest and Sixth Streets and mitt of the central Downtown core area. The C3 zoning district allows a wide variety of u:.,L:� including any use permAttes In the City's three other commercial zoning districts such as retail shops, banks, 0eaters, automobile fates, professional offlce:i. motels, and other uses. The C3 zone imposes ;ew development restrictions; there are no front, side or rear yard setbacks. no maximum percentages of site coverage, no open space requirements rind no height restrictions. The C3 zone fully developed would produce 90 gross 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 Implement the quality of development envisioned for this area and therefore it is no longer an appropriate z;;ne for Downtown. The northern half of the blocks between Goldenwest and Sixth Streets as well as a small portion of the centra! core area ate zoned Ra, Leigh density residential. This zoning district allows one unit foi -every one thousand (1,000) square feet of lot area or a maximum of 35 units per gross acre for larger projects, with a height. limit of 30 feet. There are currently approximately 23 acres zoned R4. The Rd gone Is not specifically designed for the unique tyre 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 Townlot Specific Plan zoning district. Other zone- Specific Plan erne include, . a Hom e � within the S cific ;MH (titouile ' N District), R5 (Office Professional01sitrict) wtdch allows Hotels 'and 'mot t as well as professional of:.ces R3 (Medium-High vensity, Resldentisl nlstrict), Old Civic_ Center Specific I Plan (Nflxed-Use, residential,. oommercial and public fsrilt Ies), Cl (Neighborhood Commercial District), C4 (highway Commercial District) and `,;CF-R (Comiz untty. Faclllties � :District: -- Recreatten Areas). In addition,,;a zoning, suffix of O or 01' (O11 District) is on select parcels. The present pattern of spot zoning with $trip commercial Is a resporse to past demands and no longer applies to the efforts of Downto�n revitaliz:s,tion. --9- (0062D) 2.4 The existing land uses In the Sapcific Nin area are extremely vari^.d and diverse. Thar a are numerous cases of nonconfo.rniing uses and vacant or under-ut:'ixed parcels. • ;n the seventeen blocks between Goidenwast and Sixth Streets development is sparse. Many of the parcels which front on Pacific Coast Highway are either vacant or used for oil pred»ctjon, wh'.le many lets facing Wainut Street are developed as multi-family residences. A few -nmntercirl establishments are also scattered along this strip, which account for approximately 50,O00 square feet of commerc;al use:. The area between Sixth and Lake Streets is often referred to as the Downtown "core." This was at one time the City's .principal commercial center; now, however, it is characterized by smaller Neale uses; surf shops, thirft stores, coffee shops and similar establishments, primarily focused around Maki Street. Many of these Downtown proptroes have exp !need a rapid turnover in commercial tenants. The total amount of cu lmertlat square fmtage presently in the Down'.own core is approximately 160,1100 sere feet. Land uses farther away from Main Street becor,,e more mixed and Include single-:arally and multi-family reslderces, o'_I ac ivitles, and parking lots along with commercial establishments lit the port:.unn tip of the Downtown j core is the old C1vic Center site (presently vacant except fx the City Library) bounded by Orange Avenue, Main, Fifth and Sixth Stream Another residential area exists adjacent to the Downtown cere between 3rd and Lake Streets and is devoted to -2 mix of single and multi-family ;esidential uses. The area along 0e southeaste n boundary cf the Downtown area, east of Lake Street, is largely vacant. Pacific Coast Highway between Lake Strcrt ',and Beach fti4evard oortahu a mixture of activities. Two hotels are located in this area which provide a total of nearly 200 rooms with restaurants, meeting rwr.ns and recreational facilities. Inland between Lake Street and Huntington Street, the lard is :rgely vacant and used for some oll facilities. The remainder of the area is mostly comprise.i of niobile, home t. cy. The ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway Is totally devoted to public torch use. Bolsa Chica State Beach extends southeastward from Goldenwest Street to the Municipal Pier. This area is p;esently undergAng major renovatio:t through a cleaning up and consolidation of oil Operations and a rnapr landscaping and accessway program. The City Beach Iles between the Pier and Beach Boulevard. The area is extensively landscaped un<-1 contains approximately 2,COO parking spaces with carious beach-oriented conce.r.,slons. l?-. �t?i1G2 Clj , 3 2.3 Existing Cod iCIM 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 facilities can be covsolidated 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 .,snit formation with the acquisition of mineral rights. This will enable the remaining oil resources to be tapped from one or two select locations and 'herefore eliminate the need for pumping units scattered throughout the Downtown area. Parking Problems d Parking, has long been an issue of great concern within the Downtown area. Part of the problem arises from the fart that many of the Downtown buildings and businesses were develcv)ed or established under the provisions of long outdated parking regulations. Convenient and abundant parking Is a key ingredient for viable commercial development Downtown. Throughout most of the year, the atnouta of parking available in the Downtown area is more than adequate to accommodate the demand generaged by recreation facilities. However, during the summer there are days when parking capacity is exceeded. The provision cf adequate parking for beach users is a significant issue. i Beach parking lots arc currently providing the greatest number of space.,, however, additional parking adjacent to the. beach areas in private lots and along the shoulder of Pacific Coast Highway and otter nearby streets provides an estimated 3,500 spaces. Vacant tots in the area fronting Pacific Coast 141ghwGy between Coldenwest and Sixth Streets currently provide an additional 600 parking sr;tces; use of these lots for parking will phase out as development of t;:e area occurs. Seis,ric Problems Over fifty buildings In the Downtown area have been identified as structurally 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 In November. 1971). a structural surrey of ►h— Municipal Pler was completed which identified serious structural deficiencies and recommended replace- ment or reconstruction of a major portion of the Pier. The winter storms of 1,783 caused substantial damage to the. Pier, ultimately resulting In the lass c. the "End of the Pier" cafe. The city fa committed to restoration of the Pier because of its special identity and Its relationship to the Downtown area. �1 !-- (006213) Ownership Patterns The Specif?c Plan area between Goldenwest and Lake Streets Is charac- terized by a dispersed ownership pattern . There are a number of 25 foot wide lots held under separate ownerships. In many cases two small lots have been combined to form 50 foot wide parcels. In some instances marry lots have been consolidated to form quarter block, halt' block and even larger parcels. The City owns several 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 are 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). Mair.-Pier Redevelopment Project The majority of the Downtowr. Specific Plan is also within the expanded Main-Pier Redevelopment Project Area (Amendment No. M The Main-Pier Redevelopment Project was prepared in cnmplianc:e with the California Community Redevelopment Law which recluire:. preparation of such a plan ar .see basis for subsequent development of a more definite plan amendment for redevelopment within a designated Project AreZ. The Main-Pier Project Area has been determined to be blighted and requiring redevelopment to effectuate the public purposes which the California E Community Redevelopment Law was designed to achieve. i 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 comrmt nity. 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 the overall economic climate. The City's objective in pursuing the Niain-Pier Redevelopment Flan is to mitigate the severe development limitations that are now, and will be in the future, corstrairsts 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 Redevelopment Agency. However, if the owners of these parcels are desirous of participating its the project, owner participation arrangements will be made available.. The most direct Impact to businesses and property owners within the Project Area will be the displacement (except for owner participants) resulting from implementation of the Redevelopment Plan. The redevelopment of this Project Area is exp`cted to attain the purposes of Community Redevelopment Law of the State of California 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 providing employment opportunities in the operation of the proposed new comraerclal and industrial facilities. -12-- (0062D) f r1JI .•'.

I i ' -13- (8067D) r I 3.0 SPECIFIC PLAN CONCEPT 3.1 Qesi&p Conc(-ot The ocean is one main reason for the existence of Huntington Beach and is the basis For its future. The design concept for the Downtown Specific Plan evolves from the ocean as the scioce and center of the City's vitality. Many existing and potential opportunitles 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 linseed either directly or indirectly to the pier. The level of energy and excitement generated at the pier-head area needs to be capitp.112ed upon and spread through the Downtown Gore. The pier area has the potential to accommodate even more people than It presently does by offering a variety of uses, services and activities. Developments at the pier should be scaled to a pedestrian level with passive activities such as strolling and viewing given equal consideration with more vigorous activities such as surfing, swimming and bicycling. Ped.�2strian boardwalks on various levels and the pier itself will offer views of the ocean and ocean activities. The overall form and shake of all development In Downtown Nunttngton Beuch should allow people to see the ocean vrom as many places as possible. the pier area will continue to serve ag the nta)or attraction In the City and should become the catalyst for the revitalization effort. 1 --14- (0062D) s The design concept Identifies the pler-head and the area immediately acres } Pacific Coast Highway as the focus for the greatest intensity of future development. These new developments should be scaled down and buffered -with intensified landscaping and compatible uses as the development approaches the existing residential neighboncL)ds. The interdependence of public and private development activities will Create a major activity node at the pier-head. An Important emphasis of the design concept Is to extend !Main Street inland from the ocean and encourage pedestrian movement along the street. By expanding this activity fron the pier, the commercial core along Main Street can become a lively shopping thoroughfare oriented to pedestrians and offering opportunities to shop, dine or browse in an ocean-related atmosphere. A second major activity node is proposed for the area bounded by 6th Street, ' Palm Avenue, Lake Street and Orange Avenue. A variety of activities could occur within this "super-block." The activities In Lhis area should b,.. o" a year-round variety, providing the convenience of neighborhood shopping and F the ciL-ntering of public and private services, along with new opportunities r for living within walking distance of the ocean. The prospect o: two major activity nodes within walking distance of each other on opposite ends of the 4 Main Street commercial corridor will tend to encourage reinvestment and revitalization of this important connecting link. I The intensities in the Downtown core area are intended to be compatible with the adjacent trarti tlonal areas and the surrounding residential neighborhojds. Outside or the Downtown core, In the Townlot section of the Downtown Specific Plan (between Goldenwest and Lth Street), :he design concept is for residential and visitor-serving commercial developments, which are intended to be not only compatible with the e.Yisting residential area immediately adjacent, but to enhance atW retalorce the primarily residential character of Vie area. The establishment or a secure private residential community adjacent to. but adequately buffered from, the public areas is one of the objectives of the plan. The area southeast of the Downtown core (between Lake Street and Beach Boulevard) is Intended to provide additional opportunities for residential and visitor-serviag commercial uses. The comercial uses In this 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 f densities while still providing substantial opportunities for 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 ., 1 physical lma a and identit The design concept is strop peso nixub e y g p accomplished by coordinating several related elements Into an overail ocean design theme, Including the following: Orienting intensive land uses away from established residential neighborhoods. # ..��... (00620) , -- Providing view, light and air corridors to the ocean. - Building architecture to reinforce this theme should be a ;nodern or contemporary Mediterranean style of architecture. This architec- ture has elements of contemporary Mexican and Southern California architecture responsive to the climate and location. The climate and location indicate orientation to the prevailing breezes, protec- tion from sun and wind, view of the ocean, and use of light--color durable materials which reflect sunlight and will be a background to brighter accent colors of streetscape and awnings. The elements of this architecture are: plain wall surfaces built of stucco or blocs.--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 areas to maximize views to the ocean. i i - Streetscape elements should be brightly colored and should relate to the ocean theme in form and shape. The streetscape element is meant to be the accent element in Downtown, played off 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. Ocear.-related and oil-related artifacts may be, Incorporated into public areas. Establish guidelines for elements such as sigmage, landscaping, and lighting which will create the visual character of the area. Design Guidelines for the Downtown Specific Plan will be prepared separately and adopted by resolution of City Council. This document should serve as a tool for review of development proposais within the Specific Plan area. -- Gnaphic elements should to bright colors to contrast with the , background architecture. The content of the -raphic elements could be abstract versions of waves, forms of sea animals and symbols and forms that evoke water-related activities with movement and 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 circulation systems. Landscaping materials for Downtown should be associated with the ocean environment (such as palms) and extensively used for buffering in transitional areas. -16- (0062D) The deign concept is the coordinating, element of the Downtown Specidric Plan and is intended to enhance the architectural concepts with existingr, physical realities and to create a viable environment in which both new aril long-timv residents are able to live, work, shop and re;xeate in a desirable atmosphere. The governing land uses and regulations for this specific plan are contained in the Coastal Element and section 4.0, "Development S tandards." i 1 1 I i i i �I K � Ii 1 1i I1 1 3•' Hai The Downtown Specific Plan area has long served as an area of mixed uses m4-J activities. This area contains the City's initial commercial care and the original residential neighboncv--;ls; along with the recreational and oil production resources which ha%-e contribut.d to the City's identity. T he Downtown Specific Plan projxNses to continue this combination of uses and activities with ]anti use designations which are primarily mi-xed-me I t.�Ws. As identified in Section Two of this document. the City's adopted I. Coastal Elemeni provides for mixed uses in this area; however, the Specific. Plan proposes modificatioris to the previously- adopted land us.� configurations.* The land use designations include: Mixed--Vie (Office/Residential/Commercial), :Mixed-Use (Corn tnerclal/Recreaiion), Commercial (Visitor-Serving), Residential (High Deruity) and Open Space � (Recreation)_ The Specific Plan area Is divided into eleven Districts (see Fights: 3.2). Each District Is unique in character or in parcel conftigtu-ation and each with a different aspect to emphasize:. Several Districts are comp►ased of subdivided blocks containing many small lots in separate ownerships. A few districts consist of large undivided parcels u:tier tutified control. The proposes: land tlse designations anti district configurations are intenders to anticipate development dernatuis and achieve the: optimum potential within the identified design concept. 3.2. 1 ,Mixed-Use (C)ffice/Residential/Commercial) The mixed-use designation is intenders to encourage maximum flexibility for the variety of uses allowed.

District Five includes approximately 20 gross acres with an emphasis on commercial 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 sopping street character. Commercial uses should be required on the ground floor with building fronts close to the sidewalk to establish a more intlin.ite scale. In order to afford the visual. climatic and recreation amenities of this unique area to a greater number of people, higher residential densities should be pro%nded. 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 Alain Street is not broken at the pedestrian level. This district should encourage rehabilitation as well as new development. The larger scale new development (one full block or greater) should not detract from the potential development in District Six or District Three (the Mier--head). This District is intended to connect the two major Modes with an interest element which can best be achieved with a continuar•ion of the pedestrian- oriented commercial District; rehabilitation and nc!w developed should be scaled and designed with this intent. The plan anticipates that this District can accommodate approximately 150,000 square fact of commercial uses with approximately 75,000 square feet of office and 200 new residential uni ts.

Downtown area for new development which will create new oppr,rwni►.ies to shop, work, and live in an ocean-related atmosphere. The Plan anticipates that this District can accommodate approximately 130,000 square fee; of commercial, 75,000 square feet of office and 200 new residential units. In both Districts Five and Six, open air commercial establishments, such as sidewalk cares, ^k and magazine racks and flower stands are encouraged. A requirement for additional public open sp;Ace amenities should be f incorporated Into all large scale projects. These areas may include patios, i balconies or terraces with landscaping, public seating With additional amenities such as sculpture cr other art objects. Corner plazas will also be I 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 of uses allowed. The mixed-use (coin merciaf/r ecrea,tion) designation applies only to District Nine. p.i5tri.0 Ntne is an area approximately 29 gross acres 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 theses open air or enclosed sports and recreation facilities, hotels or motels with supporting restaurants and shops would be appropriate uses. Large coordinated development is encouraged in this District which provides an ocean-oriented atmosphere with opportunities for public beach .access. The: Plan anticipates commerci;l recreation development with a potential for 300-400 hotel 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 'fen), totaling approximately Sl gross acres. -30- 10062D) i rice-Q is Is composed of three separate nodes of small lot ownerships for a total of approximately 8 gross acres. Commercial uses In this District are Intended to serve the visitors to Bolsa Chica State Beach as well as; the surrounding residents. The commercial uses allowed In this District should not compete with the Downtown commercial core. The District One modes will be surrounded by primarily medium to high density residential uses; therefore, residential uses should be permitted In conjunction with the Pe J necessary visitor-serving commercial uses. This type of mixed use may create an additional incentive for development, while prodding 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-oriented commercial for a total of approximately 60,000 square feet with the potential for new residential units. Utria Three is proposed to by the hub of the Downtown core, containing higher Intensity visitor-serving, uses such as hotels, restaurants and museums along with speci,slty shops 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 ?`lain Street. This location, if preperly 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 location for high intensity develop- ment; therefore, large minimum parcel sizes should be established. Hotel, retail, restaurant and other commercial uses %pith structured parking which could also service the pier and Alain Street would be appropriate uses for this District. Development Jr, District Three could be consolidated into multi•block parcels providing for greater design ftexiblUty; however, view corridors should be maintained 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 devote{ to public open space should be provided for within development projects similar to that described for Districts Five and Six. The vitality and magnetism associated w1th such areas will be critical to the reinforcement 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-t:se 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 he{6:r:s and uses between the commercial core and the adjacent residential uses. (0062D) This concentration of new devk.'npment icross from the pu:,.11c; use areas of District Ten (the pier) wilt provide an economics base for the type of renovation essential to the pier and beach front. This new economic vitality is intended to establish a greater year-round market for the, City to help support the overall revitalization vffor% I The Plan anticipates that District Three can support 400-800 Mel rooms and associated commercial facilities. This District would also be an appropriate location for a performing arts center or multi-purpose facility which could be used by the hotels and the ocean -oriented museum!a-;%lZriuln use identifled In District Ten. This District may also provicie In opportemity for new residential units. Time-sharing residential units may also be a desired use in conjunction with pedestrian level commercial. In rat, approximately 100,000 square footage cl commercial/office uses including hotels and time-sharing residential, along with 200-400 new residential units could be accommodated In this District. Dist i_C1__5&vVn is a consolidated parcel under one ownership and is approximately 13 gross acres. District Seven should be master panned as a primarily visitor-serving commercial project, which could be Implemented over a number of phases. Hotel, motel, restaurant and specialty comet!:clal would be appropriate uses. Development In this District is not intended to compete with the Downtown commercial care: therefore, major incentives for development would not be necessary. The commercial uses in this District would be of a more seasonal variety with the District serving as a connecting link between t`;4 Downtown area and District Nine. The Plan anticlpates visitor-serving commercial can he accommodated with a 200-400 room hotel. Wstdo To includes the area on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Nig1r,�,ay most suited for commercial development. This District includes the pier and the existing parking areas on either side, comprising approximately 15 gross ac.es. The visitor-serving commercial uses most appropriate for this District are beach-related and complementary to activities uhica occur around the pier, such as fishing, surfing and sun bathing. Additional parking in structures would also be appropriate provided that they do not extend above the level of Par:ific Coast Ifighway and block views, This provision should still provide for the optior of multi-level commercial activities in this District. 'The pier Is a prima location ter restaurants, which can take advantage of the panoramic views. Equally impnrtant As the new commercial activities which may be accommodated is to ensure that the major emphasis In this District is public open space. The pier and beach area must remain axessitle to the public for free recreational pursuits. District Ten Is part of the pier-head node. as described previously. This cam mercial/r€creational activity node is of primary Importance in the revitalization effort of the City. Development within this District will probably be Initiated -,mfth City efforts. The extent and intensity of development in District Three and further Inland wiii directly determine the amount of revitalization which can occur to the pier and the. beach-related comercita rases which can be accommodated. In addition, the preseitt amount of parking can be approximately douttled without obstructing views or drastically changing the overall character of the District. -22- (30620i 3.2.4 Residential (High Density) The residential designatia inetudes Wd Q= Districts (District Two, District milt and Eight) exclusively for residential uses. Dist.,,ct Two extends from Goidenwest Street to 6th Street between Pacific Coast Highway to Walnut Avenue. District Two is subdivided into numerous twenty-five foot wide lots with very diverse ownerships encompassing approximately 44 grass acres. District Two is 'intended to develop as a continuation of the type and variety of residential development which exists In the adjacent Townlot 4rea. The development regulations should to similar kind :owpat!ble with those in the Townlot area, with the exception that larger projects (one full block or more) should be provided with additional incentives to encourage lot consolidation. Consolidation of the numerous small lots which are spread throughout the District is one of the objectives of the Plan. In order ;o accomplish this, the allowed density in the District should increase w: the aarcel size inereases. Consolidation is desirable in this District as a means to achieve the design contro.s and variety of residential t,✓pes which will produce quality residential development which is se.isitive to the adjacent neighbors' concerns. Multi-block consolidations may a.so be allowed to promote better design'. however. view corridors should be maintained along the existing right-af- ways so as to not adversely affect the residential a:eas further inland. Projects of one full blocl•: or greater should be allowed additional height in which to achieve the allowed density with a design which takes advantage of the projects location while remaining compatible with adjacent uses through upper story se.becks an,--4 other design regulations. The Plan ai:ticipates that few projects will be able to take advantage of the provisions allo:.!ei-f for a full block cersolidaticn. Residential development in District Two may result in 800-1000 new residential units. Oil uses should also be allowed to continue In designated areas. iet�n i.ly co rn m t: Li~vt i c�ias.� _; .fStzr UL the s:idWim _anal awmitQ1sTrely Sag 3-zcrgs whisLwi I v Siwd-cnd rvJx_JQ ry idential 1 ...lh �i+� ILii�iR3S Lhs73.1�i Sj1ScI�l�f Cal. 4llldIlSdat IR-RC b&d...mum-a-.bilfer are" to e nttiis .ems ]_c�an�.sl��c:.r.r� ,lwe. ram.the.1 _ :szwtl ou-mnd.Ahe ��cen ar_e4,C., DisiriCt al; coisists of two large parcels each of which is under one ownership, for a total of approximately 57 gross acres. District Eight is located in the northeasterly section of the Downtown Specific Plan. High density residential uses are most appropriate for these sites due to their location and unique characteristics. Projects, if properly a. able #/ill be able to maximize view opportunities -.r;d access to recreational amenities. The two project areas within the District should be master planned (separately) prior to any s0division. -23- (0062D) Mew residential development, adjacent to the Downtown commercial core will provide the proposed commercial uses with the population base necesttary to create viable services. The new residential development should also b► designed to be compatible with the residential areas to the north. The plan anticipates development In District Eight to achieve the full poten;aal of niaximum density resulting in 1800 new residential units. Oil uses should also be allowed to continue in selected islands within a portion of the District. 3.2.5 Open Space (Recreation) The open space designation constitutes an imporr,Artt land use throughout the coastal zone and particularly in the Downtown Specific Plan. The open spare (recreation) is a new designation developed in the Coastal Element in keeping with State Coastal Act policy concerning shoreline access and recreation facilities, District Elevc is dexina:ed open spare (recreation) and Includes the area on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Hig,'tway between Goldenwest Street and Beach Boulevard, with the exception of the area in District Ten; a total of l approximately 103 gross acres. This District is intended to preserve and protect the beach area within the Specific Plan. Only beach--related i activities should be permitted in this District. Th-- popularity of the beach f and the expectation that beach use wi i continue to increase in the future, makes it important that the Specific Plan preserve as much of the beach as possible. It is also important to provide facilities for beach users, such as restroom facilities and concessions for food, drhtks and beach equipment as well as maintaining as much public parking as possible. All development should be scaled and limited to enhance and not detract from the beach experience. , The Plan anticipates !e%,elapment within this District to be 11M. ltfd to concession stands, recreation facilities and beach parking improvements. Oil uses should be allowed to continue: in a portion of the District. The City has historically had a policy to preserve its beach frcr.t for the enjoyment of all. The Downtown Specific Plan con;�Onues this long-standing tradi-doet insuring safe and convenient access to the beaches within this District. j (0062 D) I 3.3 Circulsation 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 shoppers and local residents all share the circulation ;system, and each has their own transportation needs. The Downtown Specific Plan atteripts to previde a circulation system that better accomrnc►dates all users, with the following abjectives: -- Provide convenient access to the beach and to Mach parking facilities. - Improve safety and efficiency of the existing circulation system. - Provide convenient access to Iocal busness encouraging shopping on Main Street and in the other commercial Dist^cts in the Specific Plan area. -- Facilitate commuter traffic on Pacific Coast Highway by minimizing cross traffic anI providing alternative roures for local residents and shoi�pers. - Provide adequate parking for shoppers patronizing Downtown commercial establishments as well as for residents and visitors. Provision rjf beach parking a especially important to ensure that beach users do not comp ze with shoppers for parking spaces, making access to comcnerciai establishments inconvenient. Encourage and accomracdate public. transportation. -- Accommodate a bikieway system that encourages the use of bicycles fc- everyday transportation as well as for recreation. Provide a pedestrian system that Is safe, pleasant and convenient. 3.3. 1 automobile Circulation The City's Circulation Plan of Arterial Streets and Highways differentiates a arterials by their street widths and capacities (see Figme 3.3-1). "Major" arterials have a' `planned street HOW of 120 feet and have an eptimum capacity of 45,000 vehid" ;per day. w25w 0 0 6 ;1 f� "Primary" arterials are planned at a ROW of 100 feet and can optimally accommodate 30,000 vehicles per day. "Secondary" arterials are planned at a ROW of 80 feet and can optimally accommodate 20,000 vehicles per day. Local streets are not shown on the Circulation Plan, but they are an Important part of the overall circulation system. The ,an_Dir o Freeway, an Important route outside the Downtown Specific Flan area, parallels the coastline approximately six miles inland and connects Huntington Beach with other communities throughout the region. Ancess to this freeway is critical and may be an important constraint to future development along the coast. Beacuse of its proximity to the shoreline, the Specific Elan area is in a less-than-ideal situation in terms of freeway accessibility. Being far from the freeway it is presently !inked by only a limited number of arterials, segments of which are congested at � times. I The Downtown Specific Plan has attempted to de-emphasize the. area's reliance on the freeway in terms of future growth by encouraging higher E density and mixed- use Districts. in the Downtown. In addition, the concentration of pfople and activities into a compact area helps to make mass transit more viable than In scattered locations. Thus, while the Downtown is not Ideally located in terms of the freeway. actions are being j i%ndertaken 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. GoldelLw„� ,� re wand � ar .5'A"'&v,atJ, 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 resign and capacity criteria traffic on. Brach Boulevard currently exceeds that street's optimum capacity from Warner Avenue north to the freeway. Existing traffic on Goldenwest Street is riot 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 Gothprd Street and Beach Boulevard as a possible location for a transportation corridor. Along Beach Boulevard alternative modeti to the automobile are being considered as well as ways to increase autorncoblle capacity through different loading techniques. pa.QWC_CA,1st Highway (PCH) Is the major traffic carrier In the Downtown Specific Plan area. Running parallel tc the shoreline, It provides the pri»ciple access route connecting Huntington Beach with adjacent coastal cities. This four-lane highway, currently designated as a priraary areterial, Is proponed to be upgraded to a major status. PCH should be Increased from four latest to six. 'fhe California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) has proposed to achieve this by simply removing all parking along the curb to fully utilize the existing curb-too--curb width. .this will Increase the capacity of PCH to that of a rnr0or arterial within the existing 100' right-of-way. _26-- (0062D) Traffic volume on PCH creates one of the most significant circulation problems in the Downtown area. A variety of Improvements to Interior streets as well as to PCH are proposed to help reduce congestion. Accidents along PCH are also a serious problem. One of the reasons for the high accident rate is the large number of pedestrians corning to the beach frora inland areas, crossing PCH at mid-block or at nonsignalized inter- secdons. Another hazard is created by automobiles turning from PCN to numbered streets, and from numbered streets to PCH, at the non-si gnat iZed intersections. Curb--side parking on PCH creates another source of accidents. Several actions can be taken to improve these conditions. First, 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-satins or in some areas creating parking bays in the existing street right-of--way. The following streets are possible locations for restricted access: 2nd, 3rd, Sth, 7th, 8th. 10th, 12th lath, 15th, 16th, 18th, 19th, 21st and 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 raised landscaped median along the entire length of PCif, with openings only at through-streets and signalized intersections. Such a median could better separate traffic and be designed to inhibit pedestrian raid-block crossings. Fourth, reducing on-street parking along PCH will help eliminate another source of serious accidents. Fifth, construction of overpasses at key locations along PCH would provide safe pedestrian access, and reducing interruptions to the automobile traffic flow. Finally, prohibition of curb cuts on PCH could also help reduce accidents. This strateZy requires alternative access points for new developments. In the area between Lake Street and Beach Boulevard, the proLwsed Walnut Avenue extension could serve new developments. ?northwest of Lake Street, additional dedication should be required to increase the width of the parallel alley, so that access can be taken from the allay and not directly from the highway. data Avenue 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 altemative to Pacific Coast Highway. The intersection of Atlanta Avenue, Lake Street and Orange Avenue should be set aside for additional study. QG-1Ilg�., r venter - Atlanta Avenue should service the Downtown core as a primary arterial, however, the continuation of Orange Avenue into the Townlot area should remain as oii;y one lane in each direction. The use or some type of traffic control device may be required 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. So-anteenth.. 1rsetand Lake Str 1 are the existing primary arterials leading Inland from the beach area. These routes should continue to serve as primary arterials, with only one lane In each direction. Sixth 'Street is proposed as a secondary arterial which will establish the northwestern boundary of the Downtown core. Sixth Street extends Inland from PCH`to -27- (0062 p) r i Main Street near Acacia Avenue, and should replace fM1Ltreet which Is presently designated as a secondary. The remaining local strews form 'a grid pattern through the Townlot and Downtown areas, and should conttnv.e to serve primarily local needs. Main Street is a more significant local route which run, 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 Main Street the most Important visual/pedestrian corridor In the Downtown area. Main Street's role as an automobile carrier within the. Downtown should be de-emph.,s1z'ed with primary concern focused on pedestrian circulation. Main Street -should continue inland from the Downtown core as a local street with one I.ane of travel in each direction. Consideration should be given to connecting I JndJaWpQ'� Avenue, designated as a secondary arterial, with Main Street and the Downtown area. The Intersection of ?Main Street and Sixth Street with a possible Interconnection to Indianapolis Avenue via Lake Street needs additional study. CsId Urd._:IrCel also provides a logical trarmNrtatlon corridor, with 3 convection at Main Street. Modes other than automobilef, should to 1 considered. The Southern Pacific Railroad maintaing an ope:rab a line along this corridor, (north of Ga.JIcId Avenue) connecting to the Pazifie Electric right-o'{-way which runs parallel to Lake Street (south of Garfield Avenue) into this Downtown. These routes may be critical to the efficient movement of' people through the City In the future. A t_Yalnl t AvgnUesten ion, could serve as another inland route to connect Beach Boulevard and Lake Street. if possible, this route snculd be designed to tie into any future extension of Hamilton Avenue west to Beach Boulevard. Right--of--way dedication for this purpose should be required In new developments In this area. This street could provide safe arid, convenient access to the commercial areas east of Lake Street and wn alternative to PCH. 'Total right--ol-way width for this service road should be 100 feet (primary arterial) to accommodate fe►ur traffic Ianes. a landscaped median, landscaped parkway, sidewalks and bike lanes. wt should also serve as an inland route from PCH and 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 of streets to accommodate multi-block -2evelopments. Some possible locations for abandonments would be the first block of Fifth. Second and Third Streets. In the area bounded by Orange, Palnr, Lake and Sixth a "super block" development :oncept Is being consider ed. This would require vacation of ntrarly all streets withlit District 6. Proposed improvements to the circulation system can be provided by utilizing a combination of funding sources. Some projects, such as the PCH re-striping project, qualify to be at least partially funded by State and Federal highway monies. Other improvements, such as cul-de-sacs and the proposed Walnut Avenue extension, could be financed through 'tax Increment - era. ti 3 monies from redevelopment. Assessment Districts provide another means to fund street improvements. These Districts are designed to charge developers and property owners who will directly benefit frDrn the improvement. In cases where additional right-of-way is needed, dedication requirements can be placed on new developments as a condition of approval. The: future development of commercial uses in the Downtown will depend on the ability of the circulation system to move people through the area efficiently. The Circulation Plan of Arteriai Streets and Highways should be amended to reflect the proposed changes as discribed 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 each have different definitioc>s of the word adequate when It pertains to parking. The procedures used to develop and control parking 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, are complicated further by the proximity of the beach and the different types of parking needs of beach uses. Although no formal parking strateg;• has been prepared by the City, consideration has been given to various procedures which could tx used to identify and satisfy the parking needs of different types of parkers. i Parking spaces for Downtown shoppers should be provided at a limited number of curb spaces, in off--street parking lot.; and In parking structures located within or immediately adjacent to the Downtown area. Parking c:ontrals, such as time limits and parking rates, should be adjusted to maintain the desired use; of these spaces by shoppers and employees. The location of parking in relation to Downtown commercial areas is constrained by the availability of land, its high cost (either in dollars or in lost opportunitle ) 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 optimus;t utilization by shoppers, a parking facility should be within 300 to 400 feet of the commercial use which it serves. 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 be considered when evaluating possible locatiors for parking facilities. A possible site for a structure would be the City-,owned property located south of Orange Street between Fifth and Main Strea!ts which consists of 10 consolidated lots. This would be an excellent location for servirig future Downtown development. Other parking facility sites within the Downtown core may be needed, depending on the consolidation patterns and intensity of uses which develop there. As specific projects are developed, such as hotels, commercial, office and/or residential complexes, their Individual parking needs will be Identified and satisfied through the construction of specific and related parking facilitici. These parking spaces should be controlled to varying degrees and not open to general public use. -29- (0062D) New commercial and restaurant development on the beach side of 1P'aciflc Coast Highway, on or adjacent to the pier, should be constructed on top of a decked parking structure which could be open to the public and would provide parking for a variety of patrons of the pier facilities, the restaurants, the commercial establishments along Main Street, and the beach users. Since the periods of peak parking demand for these different types of users vary to some extent, the utilization of the parking structure will be improved and parking revenues from It will be increased. Although a large number of parking spaces are now provided for beach users, there Is a 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 Luc of remote parking areas and jitneys or other means of direct transportaion 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 tc, develop this type of service. The replacement of beach parking lots with structures provides a means of Increasing capacity without sacrificing additional valuable beach rpace. This action is expensive, however, and is not felt to be economically justifiable at this time since additional beach parking is presently required only during a limited number of peak weekend hours a year. Much of the presently vacant land fit the Townlot area. however. is now used for parking 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 p.arYfng structures adjacent to the beach area. The owners of residences and their guests frequently encounter 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 and 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--down land costs for the construction of parking structures. Merchants could then lease spare In these structures. on an annual fee basis or by setting up a system of validated parking. .As new development occures, each developer could be assessed an In-lieu fee to offset the costs of building parking structures ttearby, this satisfying parking requirements. Additionar parking opportunities may also be developed into the blunt top landscaping project presently under Phase one construction. ,Subsequent phases to this project could Include surface parking between 9th and t 1 th streets, parking pockets along Pacific Cust Highway and parking structures on the; oil service 'road below the bluff face, where they can be screened from the highway and not block ocean views. -30- (0062D) Financing strategies are Important considerations for actual implementation of parking structures. Parking structures could be provided by the private sector, however, the: problems of assembling large parcels tinder the present fragmented ownerships and the difficulties In bringing a large number of parties together cooperatively, makes this option difficult to achieve. One form of public participation In Parking would be a ioint effort by the City and private interests. The City could build structures with "in-lieu" fees and allow a private company operate the structures for profit. The City might receive a portion of the revenues to retire any debt. Ir:-lieu fetes could substitute for the provision of on-site parking by new development. f 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 improvernents, but not for on-going operation and maintenance. One approach to covering these expenses Is to require continuing responsibility for off-site parking by those developments which originally contracted for It by charging ,yearly fee.-, based on the number of ided.rov spaces s and maintenance could also be P P supported In part by charging parking fees to users. These fees could be paid either 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 proposed District have received notification. If written protests are received from 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 financing and maintenance strategies could be devised which utilize features of both in--lieu fees and assessment Districts. Through redevelopment in the Down tow rv'Specific Plan area, tax incretaent financing Is also available and constitutes 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, Greyhound, airport and other charter bus companies also operate In the Specific Plan area. The OCTD currently maintains bus lines on a regular basis throughout the Downtown area. OCTD ph :zners, in conjunction with the City's Development Services and Public Yorks Departments, determine the need for improvements to the existing bus system. Currently, existing bus routes within the Specific Plan area are sufficient. Expansion of the system would involve more buses or more frequent trips on existing routes. The most lii:ely change to the system in the near term will be a seasonal increase In the number of bwes running on the beach-oriented routes. -3l- (00610) As prijects are filed improvements to the existing transporatlon system can more acurately be determined. These improvements can then be recommended to OCTD planners for their review. Any proposed modification to the system must be approved by OCTD prior to being attached as a condition for project approval. At the present time bus routes enter the Downtown area %!a Atlanta Avenue, Lake Street, Main Street and Orange Avenue, and move through the area on either Olive or Walnut Avenur.. Additional bus service which sloes not actually enter the Downtown area is provided along Pacific Coast Highway. Future bus traffic should circulate around the Downtown core area using 6th Street, Pacific 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 areas. U a transit center is developed at the intersection of take 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 1979. 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 at vothard Street near Huntington Center and. one at Like Street near PCH. The latter facility, which is within the Specific Plan area, would be for the routes ser.,ing beach visitors and persons patronizing the Downtown commercial establishments. Special requirements for the center were based on current bus 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 inclurle a passenger waiting area with a 5,000 square foot platform, which would he large enough to safely accon, modate the large number of riders an a typical summer weekend. Presently, the curb-side: parking lane on the south side of PCH, cast of Lake Street, is rased for beach-route bus layovers. Upon ciompietion 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 new 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 parking lot. The new layover area shoWd coru!st of an expanded passenger waiting platform, additional accessways to the beach, and a curb cut to provide a turnout for bus parking. The proposers project would necessitate the removal of some landscaping; however, it will not require the loss of any parking spaces. In addition a bus stop/bay should be provided northwestbound at Main Street. -32- (0062D) Thts !ayover area should be adequate for OCTD's beach-related transit center needs as currently projected to 1995. However. if the Downtown develops into an attractive tourist area with higher density mixed--use development, it ;s likely that a larger public transit facility would be necessary in the future. The Specific Plan recommends that the option for - such a center be preserved now because of its potential importance to the longterm transportation needs of the area. One passible location for the transit center would be the City property south of Orange Street between Sth and Main Streets. j As previously mentioned, this site is an excellent one for a public parking structure and a transit center could easily be incotporated Into the same building. Another possible location would be somewhere in or near the "super block" (District 6). Because the City Is considering vacating streets in this area, there is 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 along Main Street. Other locations could be possible and any larger-scale parking struc:• ire 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 transportation system i.s 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. Mthin the City of Huntington A_,ach. the existing Southern Pacific Railroad ROW through the industrial corridor along Gothard Boulevard could be utilized for passenger service. The Pacific Electric Railroad ROW parallel to Lake Street may also be available for some kind of alternate transit system. The Orange County Transportation Commission is also studying the Beach 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 ma:,s 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 frn;n the ocean 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 bAng studied Include Transportation System Management (TS`!) procedures, some "flyovers on Beach Boulevard and less capital-intensive improvements on other arterials, major highway Improvements at critical locations, a freeway which would ,generally follow Beach Boulevard, bus improvements, high-occupancy vehicle/bus lanes, and light rail transit. Preliminary data rrom the study, Including such factors as cost and affected residential/commercial structures and properties, are now being analyzed in an effort: to dett~rrnire which alternatives should be given further detailed study and evaluation. -33- (4062D) 3.3.4 Bike Trails Bicycle transportation is growing Into a very popular and important meaty of travel. Several bike trails exist within the Downtown Sp,cific Plan, the foremost being the coast line trail. This recently completed bikeway begins at the north end of Bolsa Chica State Beach and travels south through the City Beach and Huntington State Beach to the mouth of the Santa Ana l:,lver where it connects to other coastal and Inland trails. The trail Is completely separated from PCH, (class 1), eliminating the hazards created by bikes and automobiles sharing the same right•-of-way. The proximity of the Coast trail to the ocean makes It a very pleasant ride, affoeding beautiful �4ews of the coastline along its entire length. Within the Specific Plan area, the coast trail 's connected to two Inland bike tails, which extend along Seventeenth Street and Lake Street. These trails consist of striped bicycle lanes incorporated into the existing scree: right-of-way (Class 2). Major improvements to the existing bikeway system In the Speritic Plan f area have teen proposed In the City's master plan for bikeway-s, Including new routes along Atlanta Avenue and Goldenwest Stre .. Priorities for bikeways are established by the City arw• lmpro�-emznts and a;1di.', ns 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 Be:ch bike trails. Currently, the only means for bicyclists to cross PCH is with the traffic signal at Brookhtirst Street. The undercrossing will proulde a .much safer ard more direct connection, making a more effective bicycle transportation system for Inland cyclists to reach the beach. A new trail should ue developed along with the Walnut Avenut extension, connecting. Downtown to the ca.-nmercial/recreation area near Beach Boulevard. The old Pacific Electric right-of-way should also be developed as a new trail linking the Inland residential area with the beach. The funding for most bike trail improvements comes from S9 $21 monies. which are distrbuted through the Orange County Trans-portntlon Commission to local governments. Projects are budgeted on an annual basis. The costs of projects vary considerably depending on their nature,. Completion of all the Improvements are expected In a timely manner consistent with the City's overall master plan. 3:.i.5 Pedestrian Circulation In the Downtown area, walking should be an important mode of transportation. litany people will park their cars a greet distance from ale beach, pier, restaurants and P.-tall stores they are patronizing. Mixed-use zoning will encourage the development of places where people can live, work, shop and be entertained in ore area. Far this reason, the pedestrian circulation system warrants special attention. —34— (0062D) iT.,.1T .—.. ,. ''t'C. a.. t ,, ire+— _ .. .• A system of pedestrian pathways in the Downtown area would serve several purposes simultaneously. First, It could be par: of a public recreation system. People like to walk and enjoy the sights Wong the bluffs, the beach. and the pier, or watch the activity ;n lively commercial areas. The: pedest:ian circulation system also serves as a practical tranuportation mode, which will be increasingly important to future commercial Districts, with centr.lized parking areas and nearby res'"dential, comrarrcial and office developments. The pedestrian transportation system will be, especially vital In linking the beaches, blufftop landscaped area, and the pier to inland visitor-oritented commercial Districts. In all rases, the pedestrian system must be safe, pleasant, and convenient. One of the most important pedestrian routes is the lateral access along the shore. In the Downtown Specific Plan .area, the entire s'wreline is open to the public; with the exception of one residential complex northwest of the pier, there are no private developments between PCH arA the ocean. Continbouy pedestrian access Is provided along the Public beach. There is also a continuous hard surface pedestrian router or sidewalk along PCH between Reach Boulevard and Coldenwest Street. on addition, the coast hike trail prnvides a lateral accessway extending the ent -e length of the Specific Plan area, which is also designed for handicapped persons using wheel:-hairs. Special pedestrian features should also be planned ;or the Main Street corridor, Main Street should be a lively, active commercial District at die :::reef level. The first floor of developments along Main Street sho•ild 6e Qnmercial, with open-air establishments encouraged. Structures should be built !Cong a continuous retail facade near the sidewalk. The sidewalk- should be wide enough for convenient passage, but relatives intimate so g p g � Y that pedestrians will be near the stores and the retail fronts will demand their attention. Mein Street should remain one-way with limited vehicular access and parking. Corner plazas should be required with large consolidations to provide places for people to sit and relax. The plazas could provide an entry way to the Main Street corridor and commercial District. Sidewalks should be required on all public right-of-ways, providing a basic m 1 and comprehensive pedestrian network. In some District-, dedication may be required for public parkways and sidewalks. { One of the major challenges :o the pedestrian system Is providing safe access across PCH. This connection is especially important for visitor-oriented commercial areas which rely on them- proximity to the beach and pier as an amenity to drn-.. customers. Provision of safe and convenient pedestrian crossings Through a series of traffic signals and overpasses should be oncow-aged. The median along PCH should be designed and landscaped corwlstent with the Downtown them,.! and should discourage mid-block pedestrian crossings. Th% median sirsuld Fe unbroken except for Intersections with traffic signals. Overpasses or underpasses might be especially Important In the commercial/recreatl^n Districts where hotels are proposed. A direct. conveniem connection to the popular City beach could be an important feature In the success of such developments. Overpasses could hJe designed —35— (0062D) E�F> for. use ;,by the Sener7l Public, and a direct connection for,, ht)tel developments, providing convenient beach access. Overpasses may also provide Convenient connection between commercial and' public: facilitles, like a hotel and museum. The importance or tying the Main Street corridor to the Mcnlrapal Pier;:a's part of a, unifled vl,itor-oriented commercial District suggests; the need for a 'grade rteparated pedestrian crossing at Maln Street. Six lan►n of highway+ will seplirate the pier and the Downtown commercial Drat ict, a;traff it signal can only periodically pro%ide safe access. If the commi-rcial'Districts are successful. pedestrian volume will Increase,in this area. This will require the signals near the Downtown to provide increasingly lrsiger aind more frequent. traffic stops to facilitate pedestrian mavement, d1srup0na automobile 'flow on PCH. Thus, the advantage of an averpas:: at this location would be to provide for a continuous physical connection., between Main Street and the pier, while not obstructing vehicular, trafff.c. As an alternative to an overpass, an underpass could be consider►ad In ccsnjunctlon with some well-lighted perepheral shops which would reduce the ttmnel effect. The major farilides which could require significant'public participation develop are the overpasses. Costs can be reduced by the use of publicly owned land on both sides of PCH. Fublic, funds such is Coastal Conservancy grants can be used to help build these kinds of facilities, and in many instances the proposed overpasses can be asnstructed with a combination of public and private monies, Funding soaurces include to:-, increment, special assessments on serviced properties, State ,grants, :the municipal general funds, earmarked fees at -City and State beaches, development incentives, and contributions by OC i D as part of' a transit center. --'16- (0062D) 3.4 Qpen Space 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 pedestrian/vehicutar activities, events and landscape base with a .hierarchy of use and visibility. Physical design elements in each space or corridor are Intended to enhance the viewer - experience to create an Interesting environment. The p7oposed open`spaces'and landscape concepts are -a means of coordinating design which is both supportive f of and independent of the architectural forms. The major objective is to unify open space and physical strucrilres into a homogeneous "sense of place" or community of distinct Districts with a common theme. The design concepCdescribes an area--wide landscape framework In order,` to create a positive unified image through'landscapin& Landscaping,will visually tie together the diverse built environment and Introduce: a softer, human element into the harder surrounding architectural elements. It Mso Is intended to provide diversity, contrast and color In -.n ocean-oriented environment. Existing landscaping in the Downtown !s min;mal. Recently the City provided landscape and streetscape Improvements to Main Street, !n order to de-emphasized Its use for vehicular traffic by snaking it a one-way street.;to encourage pedestrian traffic. Mille these Improvements have helped stimulate interest along Main Street, major work Is still needed to create an.atmosphere that link, Main Street to the pier and other Downtown areas. A comprehensive landscape and 7 r%bltect=I framework will help accomplish' this and visually unify : Plan area. This framework should be based on fc zal points, n fy the 5pe ►_ Districts and entry nodes (see Figure 3.4). The landscaping`envis=oned could create a dramatic change; in the Downtown 5pecinc. Plan atmosphere, is would be ideal to snake all Improve'm ents`at the same time as part of an Initial thrust. This can be. accompl:shed 'if the City invests the stoney to fund landscaping trp front, the `costs of„improvements could then be passed on to property o%n- ers through as assessment Disti lct, or reimbursed by tax increment financing. Ongoing . maintenance; of landscaping must also be , provided., if 'the Improvements are Installed by the City prior;to dpvelorment taking place, the City will have to maintain them. This could place rt burden on the already hard-pressed maintenance budget. An alteimative would be to form maintenance assessment Districts so that pruDerties benefitted by the Improvements wouM pay for tbel: upkeep. :Lamb-cape maintenance by the City also InsLwes that services will be. of uniform quality and performed regularly. .-37_ (00621)y r ,.,,,u Additional Information is needed, on which to base recommendations for installing a6d maintaining landscape improvements. These will be developed with the Design Guidelines Document. A. P(daoardwalk. 'This area, located at , the pier and Pacific Coast Highway, should emphasize the ocean view-oriented experience. This area should Include fast food sands and novelty shops, eating areas, umbrellas and overhead porticos are recommended. a festive maples, color scheme, and "pier boardwalk" sigrwge will create atmosphere and further complete the transition 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 then: functions. Pedestrian movement, strolling, window shopping and eating should be the primary focus of this area. B. hfatr ire za -- The Main Street plaza should be a focal point inland from Pacific Coast Highway. Strong landscape elements such as color and texture should be Incorporated into this area. Examples or ties would be large paving areas with bollards, raised planters, eye--catching graphics, and banners. The outckjor aspects emphasised to include street furnishings, dining areas, kiosks, and seating areas. The possible development of a theme structure may also be appropriate, A water feature could also provide a strong link to the ocean. Pedestrian activity Is critical to this area. The area should develop as the destination node on Pacific Coast Highway. C. Town SuarclS�jxr Bock The Town Square Is envisioned as a gatherinE spot; a resting oalsis 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 neighborhoods. Deacuse of Its relationship to the Main Street redestrian area, this plaza should incorporate kiosks, street furniture, transit shelters and possibly a water reature to emphasize the human scale. Landscaping in this area should consist of grove and 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 experience 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.

Other important landscape areas are nodes at crosswalks and main entry portals to the Plan are2.

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. There streets should provide ample setbacks for the type of landscaping that promotes color and variety. and helps to soften adjacent developments. - - Special entry edge treatment will provide a Residential E�iRe Entry pe ry g visual transition from existing single family homes to higher density housing. This will help establish new an identity and familiarity to streets and accomplished through use of structural'portals wi Districts. This can be accom th vines. Lighting can be used In 'conjunction with these to create night-time sculptural qualities. Enriched pavement will help to ptomote pedestrian flow and slow vehicular appro ich In these areas, which will enhance the pedestrian experience in the area. -r_osC-walk Nades Cross-walk nodes are collector/meeting polnts. for pedestrian traffic from the beach into neighborhoods or the village center. Primary elements at these points are the street name. signs, traffic signal and crosswalk indicator. These 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. Arts Paik, - The establishment of an area devoted to works of art which center on the ocean-oriented theme. Ideally a cultural activity node with ample green space and a gardenr4 ue ambience could be developed. However, spreading the arts theme throughout the Downtown area by providing piece of sculpture in various public spaces may work equally as I well. -39- (0062D) 3.5 Puhlic-l+aclli t ies In addition to the public facilities and utilities generally provided by a local jurisdiction, other civic amenities .would be desirable to further -.nhance 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 uses ranging from parks to at 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 when government and/or private groups determined that their establishment withl'a a proposed 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 amenitles to local residents, but also attract large numbers of visitors from outside the City. This latter quality makes these facilities crucial to the viability of future development such as hotels and visitor-oriented commercial. Huntington Beach Municipal 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 pler. which Ls one of the most significant features In the plan area. ftlsa Chica State Beach, (in the area of the Downtown Specific Plan), 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 unattractive. The City, with the cooperation of the State Department of Parks and Recreation,- and the oil companies, has completed a landscape plan for the entire bluff area. This area will be developed to include a bike 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 Orange Avenue, and the United States post office at Main Street and Olive Avenue. Additional public facilities 'may be envisioned and may he appropriate for Inclusion in the Downtown Specific Plan. Many of the amenities suggested can tw unilaterially instigated by the City, such as a library or park. Others will require the cooperation of other agencies or groups, whose participeition - 4D- (0462D) may range from,minor involvemtint, to' complete. provision. The means for encouraging or.:promoting these,dies, would involve at leastl;the following: 1). an .assessment of the , likelihood that a partic%lar , facility could ,be attracted 'to the Clty; 2) a reasiblilty study.on whether' or not the use. could be self-supporting' or the amount or. suWIdy ` It would. require; ,3). a cost benefit analysis of the,'various Aternatlye amenities which cfluld:be attracted and supported in order to choose among these or determine which . should be pursued; and a) an investigation offunding sources.The following provide brief discussions of possible public facilities: Library and Post Office - The existing library and post office are both appropriate facilities In a Downtown area. Both provide a necessary service to both businesses and residents, however it is possible that these facilities could be moved to other locations in the Downtown area. One possible location would be in the District 6. -- - A museum might be the type of amenity which would augment the visitor-serving atmosphere of the Main Street-Pier axis. This type of facility could be either publicly or privately financed. The area provides an appropriate setting for, several ocean-related museum thernes such as oceangraphy, archaeology, natural history, local history, the oil industry operations and surfing. The historic aspect of the oil-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 point ,of interest to visitors, the oil industry could be recognized through strategic location of oil-producing machinery, such as a large rocker arm pump, treated as environmental sculpture and public art. An oil industry museu►n could be a draw, but In Itself a relatively,, lesser one. A museum could be best located in the pier area District to which could .erve as an anchor point for the Main Street-Pier axis. Ocean L tg InterDrellyc C,enteyr_ - An attraction of this type would be aimed at the regional visitor who may have already seen hiarine!and or Sea World. This would be a unique attraction ernph:,sizing human exploration. use and relationship to the ocean, and the effect upon Its ecology. Wdrking models, full-scale submersible exploration equipment, and ' other interpretive exhibits on the ocean and man could be presented. The off shore oil rigs are a natural tie-in to;w!;at the oil j companies are doing to mitigate Impacts for example, This J 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 form. Aau;1d= - An amenity similar In nature to a museunt and also appropriate for a beach area would be an aquarium. Like a museum, an aquarium could be either publicly or privately financed. The most 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, where visitors can look out and observe 41- (0062D) 7 i. J marine life in thelr na'ti Ural habitats, To be interesting, however, such an observatory should be located In a rocky area or adjacent to a manmade or natural reef which attracts fish and other marine organisms. marineresearch laboratory:woulds t a�be a valuable assendcouid combinedbe h. n aquarium. Establishing.a research facility would require soliciting the,interc. i 'of edisrtional or'research institutions. Such a venture probably entails significant ground work and would need strong City commitment to implement. However. the interest and prestige generated by a marine research lab could add significantly to the revitalization efforts of the Downtown. — � ih 'k all o Fame This idea Is related to Huntington. Beach's reputation as a top surfing spot and the site of the national surfing championships. This theme plays up the surfing presence as a posititve 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 convection with the restaurants and viewing points for watching the surfing action and competition. Ibeeater a quditoriutn - 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 large 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 communtty theater, or musical groups. A mall or plaza around a theater might also function as an urban open space, aethetically enriching the Downtown. S==Ign Center — 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 theonly locations with enough space for parking and the related facilities to support a convention center. If a convention center were to be built, hotel and motel accommodations, with their attendant restaurants and shops, would be needed to house and serve conventioneers. — Yiel — The pier, located at the end of Main Street,.`Provides the focal point for Downtown Huntington Beach. Originolly'construt;ted 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 uses. With these Improvements complete, the pier would become the hub of a major tourist recreational area and the catalyst for commercial revitalization Downtown. -42— (0062D) ell- 3.6 1rastrvctg 3.6. 1 Sewerage System The provision or adequate sewerage facilities in the Specific Plan area is an Important prerequisite to development. A sewerage system in an urban area like •Huntington Beach is composed of shared, public pipelines and related facilities which: collect and transport water-borne 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 Huntlon Beaci Is accomplished cco i plished by a combination -of 'City and,;County facilitiesp pes, pump stations `and a treatment plant. $mall 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 severs flows, are called "trunk sewers" or "trunk lines." An adopted sewerage plan for the Orange County Sanitation District No. . 1 t proposes ses extending a large collector 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 ailevly to j problems which exist In portions of the older Ocean Avenue Trunk sewer. The new trunk line Is located beneath walnut Avenue through the Dow•n.town, g systera in the Spe'cinc Plan area 'ls ` The remainder of the sewerage composed of two other County system trunk sewers which are located beneath Cake Street and At?anta Avenue and numerocss City sewers, which Ere smaller than these trunk lines and which are burred In the alieys thsbughout th e Specific Plan area. in 1979, the City retained the engineering firm of Lowry and Associates' to Identify those sections within the sewerage system which would. . be potentially overloaded at ultimate development of the,.Ceneral Plan. The capacity of the sewers In the Downtown and Townlot areas were not identified as deficient in This study.' Another analysis, of the sewerr in thy, Downtown was made by the City In the spring of 1980 through the use of a specially equipped camera which photographs the Insides of sewer pipes. No major obstructions or Immediate problems were identified by this method. *The General Plan has been amended since this study was conducted. which resulted in a reduction In the amount of area designated fixed Development Commerical. -43- (OO6213) -1 Nonetheless, thetie %faclli+ i ties are , approximately '70 years old. The 'City': Department of Public Works: has,indicated 'that, because of their age, there tlons of lines ma need t €ng. these ,lines to tie new ,Coast 'Crank, and ma be problems;with. connect po y o'be'reconstructed'at the tirne;of connection.

There P currenthe projects shown on the District's blaster Plan; therefore. an annual priority for projects must be established. The inabli;ty,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 unless other funding sources are ,, Identified. County Sanitation District No. t I Is studying the need to establish Increased fees In order to fund the needed Improvements. No additional major improvements, 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 Worm Department, as rd condition to approving an application for sewer cotunectirns, is authorized to collect a fee for the purpose of reimbursing-the City for the cost of upgrading the sewer system and of future replacements and extensions to this system. This fee Is placed into the City's sewer fund. The City's sewer fund balance Is expected to be adequate to Lend the majority of Improvements needed to correct existing and potential capacity deficiencles and to provide adequate service to new development at ultimate buildout. Replacement of sewers in the Downtowin was not Included in .this., estimate . However, If replacement becomes necessa ry because of difficulties in connecting the older Ines to the new trunk sewer. the City's Department of Public Works estimates that this could cost 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 cunstitutes the most Important source `of water runoff; however, activities such as watering lawns and washing cars also generate waste water which must be removed and disposed of. The existing drainage system in the Specific Plan area is a srnalI portion of a much larger network which Includes regional flcx3d control channels maintained by the County and tributary drainage facilities which are the responsibility of the City. Generally speaking, local storm drains and channels now Into County channels; however, in the Speclflc Plan area, drain pipes pass underneath PCH and empty directly onto the t-each. No County flood control channels are located within the Specifle Plan area. —44— (0062D) ; In 1979, L.D. King"and"Associates preparet'a�h4aster Plan of Drainage for the,=City. . ;The .Plan identifle'd serious deficiencies in the Downtown and Townlot areas which',Include portions, ou,, four_ or the City's 34 :dfxinage Districts.. These deficiencies are not primarily in the Specific Plan area, but rene' 6t'a more widespread problem in the`Townlot area. Implem6fitation of these improvements would alleviate existing drainage problems in the Townlot area. The recommended improvements by District are outllned below: - Drainage Dlstrkt 8H Extend,the existing drains In Goldenwest (42 inches in diameter), Sixteenth(? inches) and Twentieth (42 inches) Streets to Orange Avenue. Construct a new drain in Eighteenth Street between Orange and PCH. - District 8D - Construct a drain in Thirteenth Street from Orange to the ocean (96 Inches). (completed) -- District 8A -- Construct a drain on Sixth Street (42 inches). -- District 89 -- No improvements are recommended. Drainage projects are funded. primarily through drainage fees, _ The .City collects drainage fees, from 'property owners prior to issuing a building permit or recording a subdivision map in any drainageDistrict and deposits this fee into a "planned local drainage fund";for the purpose 04defraying the costs of constructing master-planned facilities in that District. It is Important that the drainage fees accurately reflect current drainage needs and costs. Each of the City's 34, drainage Districts represent local runoff, areas with different drainage characteristics and needs. The amount of the drainage fee is based on the estimated costs of master-planned facilities and varies for each drainage District. According to the State law (Crovemment Code Section 66483), fees collected from development activities in any one District can ,only be used to construct facilities in that District. In some instances, other sourct:s I besides fees, such as Housing I and, Conimunity Development 'grant funds or tax-increment from .a redevelopment.project, could be available for drainage improvements. The cost 'of all lrcprovesnents In Districts 8H, $D and 8A was estimated at $5.7 million in`,1979,`and these would be constructed with District drainage fees and other . sources -1ij accordance with a priority ' established by the City's . Master Plan of Drainage. These Districts include significant areas outside the` Downtown, and the current cost of improvements solely for, the Specific Plan area has not been computed because it is unlikely that they would be const'ruc:ted separately; each drain in its entirety would be built as a solution to problemis of the larger drainage network. 3.6.11 Water An adequate water supply is necessary to serve new development within the Specific Plan area. , The water system must serve the demands of residents, commercial establishments, recreational and landscape uses and fire fighting activities, as necessary, i -45- (0062D) The'Gity owiu the present .watu, syst and opeirates It through',tltie Wa . . � .•�. ent C. . 8 - cer Division Hof the�P,ublic.VYyrka De"'ar Council and set at a level �f titer p ry to at a ratea roved b the City pe... pe P P � tu;ough the passage'of bonds,",he Citg.hax .nmde ru jor im.ro ementsItotthe� ' teen:enablinj It to Most notably,' the�,Cit 'hel accommodate anticipated furturt growth. � � y� ped construct pipellnes to bring w;mer from the 'Metropolitan Water District (h(WD) reservoirs Into the City, thereby erlitreing the potential supply for future development. In the Specific Plan , area, the existing system consists of slater mains (12-inches In diameter) which are located In the following ;streets: Goldenwest, Seventeenth, Main, Lake, Beach, Atlanta, Palm, and' Orange. These mains carry the water from reservoirs to the Downtown and Townlot, where distribution lines branch off to supply water to Individual user t. In the Downtown and Townlot areas, these branch lines are currently located beneath the alleys. Generally speaking, the large water mains located ftoughout, the .City are adequate; however, In the Downtown area the pipes are old, undersized and in a deteriorating condition. Many of the mains will have to be upgraded'or replaced to meet the demands of future development. The, Public Works Department has compiled a list of water projects for Implementation over a five-yp.ar period. Included to this list: ;As the replacement of old cast fron pipes in the Downtown. Ultimate Implementation of these projects Is based on a number of considerations. Among them,>.high priority is given to projects that provide new ,water supply (i.e., wells) or improve fire flow deficiencies, and lower priority is given to Improvements suc:-, as those Downtown, which may be needed only at ultimate build-out. Improvements to the City's water system are primarily ,funded out,,.,,or revenues generated by the sale of water to City resldents. A smaller amount of money is also collected from water connection fees charged, to new development based on acreage and/or nlirn'rer of units. These revenues are expected to be adequate to cover the nr:ds for Downtown Improv-!ments. _ I i i -46- ( f2D) III . ,I 4.0 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4.0.01 Intent and Purpose The purpose of this document Is to provide for orderly ,development 'and improvement wlthin the Downtown Specific Plan. The plan is established to guide the development of the area which is characterized by ,its' unique location, - geographic features. land uses and ownership patter:u,,and should not be regulated by zoning district standards applicable throughout_the.'rlty.

DISTRICT OVERLAY MAP - 4.14 RESOURCE PRODUCTION OVERLAY j'_ e. The Downtown Specific Plan area c-rerlies icng--poductive oil pools. Many facilities are still operating because of the extent of the remaining reserves, therefore oil production will Continue to be permitted In parts of this area. The City provides for oil facillitles by designating ' oil "suffix" zoning Districts In confection with an upderlyinl base zone such as a commerclal or residential District. Both oil facilities allowed by suffix and the other uses; alloyed by the base zone, are permitted. Currently, the City has two oil suffixes the "0" which allows existing oil wells and attendant`facilities,but no new wells, and the "01" which allows the drilling of new .wells'in addition to all uses in the "0" District. These sufllxis,. with certain modifications, are also employed in this Specific Plan. In addition to the oil"suffixes three Resource Production Overlays have been identified. Existing : and/or expanded oil production may continue in these areas provided that the additional conditions outlined In this subsection are met. 4.14.01 Oil Overlay "A" The rel;slatlo;u In this overlay District`facllitate continued oil recovery, but require all new facilities to be concentrated into a ,screened, soundproofed and landscaped expansion of the existing, oii site and encourage the expeditious removal of existing wells from oil overlay 'Ii". $� �.

The Planning Corurniscion requesL.ed that members of the City Council be present so they could be involved with the discussion regarding the propose3 revisions to the Downtown Specific Plan. On March 0 , 1988 , staff received direction from both the City Council and the Planning Commission regarding the proposed revisions to the Downtown Specific Plan . The following is a summary of the direction given to staff : (a) Allow residential south of Main Street in District 3 . (b) Delete requirement that residential must be physically integrated With visitor-serving commercial structures in District 3 . (c) Ch3nge District 4 from Mixed Use (Office/Residential/ Commercial.) to 100 percent Residential . (d) Prohibit residential fronting Main Street in District S. A•?w 43C (e) Delete the commercial anchor concept in District 6 . ( f ) Emphasize cultural/social. node in District 5 or District 6 depending on scale . In addition to the direction given at the March 8 , 1988 special study session, staff has addressed concerns that have been identified at the prior Planning Commission meetings and study sessions (February 17 , 1988 planning Commission meeting , February 23 , 1988 Special Study Session and March 1 , 198E Planning Corrraission meeting) . I.1._4,.E VV I RMEXTAL 3-TAM: Code. hrendment No . 88-3 is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 19300 . 4 from the previsions of the California Environmental Quality Act , 1986 . In addition , Section 1 . 2 , 52PQ fic PlayPror_edurpg, in the Downtown Specific Plan requires that any amendment constitutes a project under the California Environmental Quality Act and the State' s Envixonment-al Impact Report guidelines . The proposed revisions have been evaluated by an initial study which has been included as an attachment to this report. The proposed zoning code modifications constitute a lessening of intensity to the Downtown Specific Plan, thus modifications are covered by the Downtown Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report No . 82-2 which was certified by the City Council on July 18 , 1983 (see attached rnitial Study) . a . o Cc2AMU�TATUS The Downtown Specific Plan is the implementing ordinance of the Coastal Elerront and the proposed revisions are consistent with the Local Coastal Program contained in the Coastal Element which Was certified by the Coastal Commission in March 1985 . Pursuant to Section 989 . 5 . 0 of the Huntington Beach ordinance Code, a Coastal Development Permit is not necessary with this application. Coastal Commission certification, of the proposed revisions is required after Council adoption . 'rhe Coastal Element identifies coastal policies regarding visitor-serving commercial and residential opportunities . The proposed revisions will a) 1ow greater residential development opportunities in selected areas within the Downtown Core Area while still. retaining ample visitor-serving commmercial opportunities , The Coastal Act also requires the provision of low and moderate income housing opportunities within. the Coastal Zone. By increasing affordable housing opportunities, the proposed revisions in the Downtown Specific Plan ate consistent with the Coastal Act . Staff . RAC rL 3`151'!18 (02Q2d� y 5.. 0 REDEVEL MENT STATUS The Downtown Specific Plan contains the zoning and development standards for the Main-Pier Redevelopment Project Area which was adopted by the City Council in 1982 . The goals of the Main-Pier Redevelopment Project Area are to provide affordable housing opportunities , to preserve historically significant buildings while eliminating blighting influences, the elimination of seismic deficiencies , and to improve and expand visitor-serving commercial facilities . 6 . 0 5 P.ECIEIS : The proposed revisions are contained within the established boundaries and districts of the Downtown Specific Plan . Section 3 . 0 of the Downtown Specific Plan provides the language which describes the specific plan. concept . According to Section 3 . 0 , the design concept emphasizes the ocean, ocean activities , the City Pier as the primary focus of the Downtown Area . Within the design concept , encouraging inland pedestrian movement. along Main Street will. provide support for proposed commercial uses along the. Main Street Corridor . Encouraging inland movement can he accomplished by providing a cultural/social node near the intersection and or a parking structure near the intersection of Main Street and Orange Avenue . 7 .,0 SU'5121 I H COMMITTEE: Not applicable . a - 0 _J S.OE AND ANALY.S M staff is proposing revisions in the Downtown Spec:ilic Plan in order to clarify and update language and also to expand residential uses in the Do.tntowri Core Area . The basis for the revisions stems frormi direction on specific projects by the City Council and discussions with prospective builders regarding the realistic market demand . Also, staff recognizes input from the general public regarding shifting the emphasis from a strong commercial corn area to a seaside village concept . The intensities of the Downtown Core Area are intended to be � compatible with the adjacent residential neighborhoods as well as providing an adequate erononeir base for the City. The proposed revisions are consistent with the original design concept for the Downtown Area . A change in District 9 from Mixed-Use to 100 Percent Residential will protect the adjacent , established neighborhoods from commercial impacts . Staff feels this will provide better land use compatibility. By prohibiting residential along Main Street in District S , a commercial sector will link the Main/Pier area with the northern boundary of District a . This represents a shift of the northevn Staff Report terminus of the N:ain Street Corridor from District 6 to District 5. This shift will allow the reduction of commercial floor area but still provide opportunities for neighborhood goods and services for a household popula'Zion . In District 3,, by deleting the requirement that residential floor area must be physically integrated into visitor-servinglmixed-usH commercial projects , staff envisions greater opportunities for increasing a perennial population and flexibility in development design. Permitting residential south of Main Street represents les^erring the perceived intensity of the existing provisions containzd in the Downtown Specific Plan. The revision to allow greater resident_zI opportunities in District 3 is based on the idea that more residential floor area is needed fur year-around support for proposed commercial floor area . fStaff has proposed revisions which include : ( 1) Clarification of terminology and language ; (2) rmposing setbacks ; (3) Planning Commission approval of all new construction ; (4) Changing District 4 from Mixed-Use to 100 Percent Residential; l (5) Prohibiting residential along plain Street in District 5; (6) Allowing residential south of Main Street in district 3 . Although the revisions will create a more precise document and will decrease the amount of potential commercial floor area in District 4 , only two revisions are necessary to allow forward progress of the proposed Redevelopment Project ( Phase I) at the northeast cocner of ruin Street and Pacific Coast highway . Allowing residential south of Main Street- and deleting the requirement that residential must be physically integrated with a visitor-serving conmercial structure in District 3 are required for Phase I to conform to the Downtown Specific Plan. These revisions are consistent with the Coastal Element and will be considered by the Coastal Commission to be a minor change. If necessary, the balance of the revisions can be postponed to a later date as part of a larger overall code amendment . j 2 . 0 Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Code Amendment No . 88-3 and recommend adoption by the City Council. ��Da,�1GS FQF3 APPP,Q.�dl{ 1 .
