The City Council at their meeting of August 1, 1994, opened the public hearing, took public testimony, closed the public hearing and directed the Downtown Subcommittee to meet and discuss the revisions made to the specific plan. The Council continued the closed public hearing to the meeting of September 6, 1994. The Downtown Subcommittee met with staff and the public to review the legislative draft and ordinance on August 5, 1994. As a result of the meeting, a new matrix of issues has been generated for consideration and straw vote action by the City Council. RECOMMENDATION: Motion to: "Take straw votes on the issues identified in the matrix and direct staff to return with a revised Ordinance No. 3239 and revised legislative draft as amended by the City Council for final adoption at the City Council meeting of October 3, 1994." ANALYSIS: At the City Council meeting of August 1, 1994, the City Council opened the public hearing, took public testimony, closed the public hearing and reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendations on the substantial modifications made to District's 7 and 8. The Council accepted the Commission's recommendation not to make any modifications to the two districts; except for density (35 to 30 u/ac) in District No. 7. After further discussion, Council directed staff to meet with the Downtown Subcommittee to ensure that all the recommended straw votes and actions by the City Council were incorporated into the revised legislative draft and draft ordinance. The Downtown Subcommittee met on August 5, 1994. Downtown Subcommittee At the meeting, the subcommittee reviewed the entire document for all the previous straw votes and actions and found that all the requested amendments had been generally incorporated into the document. However, the review also indicated that minor rewording of sections (definition of Open Space, introductory paragraph for Permitted Uses, etc.) was needed, the omission of a chart (Figure 4.2, Codified Parking) and corrections of typographical errors were also needed. Staff made these minor changes and the attached legislative draft and draft ordinance reflect these changes. In addition, during the review of the document, the public brought up additional issues and suggested changes to the document that were debated between the committee and staff. The issues are identified in the attached matrix of issues. The majority of the issues were agreed upon, however two (2) issues are outstanding. The issues are whether to include basements in the definition of gross floor area and whether to allow open space credit above the street level. Recommendations on the issues by the committee and staff are identified in the matrix of issues. Also, please see attachment no. 2 for the proposed definitions of conversion, rehab/rehabilitation, and street level. The two issues along with the other identified issues require straw vote action by the City Council before staff can incorporate the modifications into the document. Conclusion After an extensive meeting with staff and the public, the Downtown Subcommittee reached conclusions regarding the Downtown Specific Plan. As can be seen in the attached matrix of issues, staff and the Subcommittee have agreed to make changes which clarify the intent of a particular provision or adds a definition. However, no substantial modifications are being recommended by either staff or the subcommittee to the Planning Commission's recommended approval of the document Based upon the aforementioned, staff requests that the City Council take straw votes on the issues and direct staff to do the following; 1) incorporate the Council's straw vote recommendations, 2) prepare a revised Ordinance No. 3239, 3) prepare a revised legislative draft of the Downtown Specific Plan and 4) return to the City Council with a final document for adoption on October 3, 1994. FUNDING SOURCE: Not applicable. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: Direct the Downtown Subcommittee to hold additional meetings to finalize the outstanding issues, re-advertise the public hearing, and return to a date certain. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

JI 5 6 7 4.2.14 The Downtown Parking Master Plan 8 9 The Downtown Parking Master Plan is based on a shared 10 parking concept. Shared parking in effect allows one (1) 11 parking space to serve two (2) or more individual land uses 12 without conflict. Shared parking relies on the variations in 13 the peak parking for different uses. In other words, parking 14 demands will fluctuate in relationship to the mix of uses by 15 hour, day of week and season. The proper mix will create an 16 interrelationship among different uses and activities which 17 results in a reduction of the demand for parking. 18 19 The Downtown core area is centered along the Main Street 20 commercial corridor. This commercial corridor divides into 21 two (2) distinct areas, north and south of Orange. The area 22 which encompasses the Downtown Parking Master Plan is as 23 identified on the area map (Figure 4.1). 24 25 Area 1 - The area south of Orange Avenue along Main 26 treet provides the greatest amount of public parking 27 opportunities both off-street and on-street. Area 1 will have 28 the greatest number of visitor serving and seasonal 29 commercial uses including year round entertainment. This 30 area will also have the greatest concentration of expanded 31 commercial, restaurant and office uses, and therefore, the 32 majority of the public parking spaces should be provided in 33 this area. 34 35 Area 2 - The area north of Orange Avenue along Main 36 trreet Provides limited amounts of public parking 37 opportunities. This area is still part of the Downtown core. 38 However, the commercial uses in Area 2 will cater more to 39 the year round residents, therefore, additional on-street 40 short term parking should be provided. This area will be a 41 mixed use area with a significant amount of residential uses. 42 The amount of commercial and office parking has been 43 reduced. 44 45 The Downtown Master Plan anticipates a total development 46 scenario of approximately 450,000 to 500,000 square feet of 47 commercial activity. The Master Plan has developpment 48 thresholds of 100,000 square feet for restaurant, 250,000 49 square feet for retail, 100,000 square feet for office and 50 50,000 square feet for miscellaneous development. Area 1 51 will contain approximately 350,000 to 400,000 square feet 4/legdrft/8/12/94 15 1 with the remaining 50,000 to 100,000 square feet of activity 2 occurring, in Area 2. It shall be the responsibility of the 3 Community Development Department to monitor the 4 development square footage per use and parking spaces 5 within the Downtown Parking Master Plan area. 6 7 The location and type of parking resources available in the 8 Downtown area recognizes that two different and distinct 9 implementation approaches are necessary for each of the to areas. The adjusted parking requirement was calculated for 11 both Area 1 and Area 2 (Figure 4.2). 12 13 Area 1 - In Area 1 the restaurant and retail parking 14 requirement was reduced by thirty-three percent and 15 twenty-five percent respectively. The office requirement by 16 seventy-five percent. In addition, the theater parking 17 requirement was reduced from the existing code 18 requirement of one (1) parking space for every third seat to 19 one (1) parking space for every fifth seat. This reduction is 20 based on surveys conducted by the theater Industry. These 21 reductions recognize the time differential and captive 22 market concepts. Expanding commercial activity in this 23 area remains the focus of the Downtown Master Plan 24 however, no additional parking for new or expanded 25 commercial, restaurant and office uses should be required. 26 The majority of public parking opportunities currently exist 27 in this area and the current parking supply exceeds the 28 parking demand. This parking supply will continue to be 29 adequate provided the total square footage of uses do not 30 exceed the Master Plan projections. The city shall retain the 31 option to purchase property for a public parking facility. 32 33 Area 2 - In Area 2 the retail and office requirement was 34 ree u�cec -by fifty percent. This recognizes that the retail 35 activity will be primarily convenience commercial catering 36 to local residents on short term shopping trips. The office 37 parking requirement reduction is based on the minimal 38 number of office opportunities and the on-site parking. 39 Restaurant uses were not given a reduction factor. 40 Numerous conflicts are created between restaurant and 41 residential uses, therefore, restaurants should be required to 42 provide one hundred percent of their parking requirement 43 on-site. The existing Downtown public parking facilities are 44 not conveniently located for use in this area, thus, a 45 combination of expanded on-street and on-site parking may 46 be necessary for new or expanded commercial uses. 47 However, providing the commercial activity remains 48 primarily service related commercial, the existing supply of 49 on-street and on-site parking should be sufficient for 50 anticipated uses. All future development projects must be 51 carefully reviewed for parking concerns. The mix of 4/legdrft/8/12/94 16 I commercial and residential activities can justify a parking 2 reduction and additional parking may not be necessary if 3 development does not exceed the Master Plan projections. 4 The city shall retain the option to purchase property for a 5 public parking facility. 6 7 The Planning Commission or City Council may impose one 8 (1), all, or a combination of the following requirements to 9 ensure that adequate parking is provided for each 10 development which exceeds the development caps based 11 upon entitlement: 12 13 1. Require on-site parking for all projects one-half(1/2) 14 block or greater 1n size. 15 16 2. Require that any parking in-lieu fees be full cost 17 recovery based on the parking requirement for 18 specific uses. However, allow that these fees be paid 19 over an amortization period, with appropriate security 20 provided by the applicant to guarantee payment.. 21 22 3.• Require valet parking once the maximum buildout of 23 restaurant activity has been obtained. 24 25 4. Commercial projects greater than 10,000 square feet 26 in size shall be required to submit a parking 27 management plan consistent with the Downtown 28 Parking Master Plan. 29 30 5. Require valet and/or remote parking for special events 31 and activities. 32 33 6. Require the applicant to provide additional on-site and 34 /or off-site parking for any development. 35 36 7. Develop parking options which may generate 37 additional parking for any development. 38 39 4.2.14 4.2.15 Landscaping.

The Downtown Specific Plan area overlies long-productive oil 4 pools. Many facilities are still operating because of the extent of the 5 remaining reserves, therefore oil production will continue to be permitted 6 in parts of this area. 7 8 The City provides for oil facilities by designating oil "suffix" zoning 9 Districts in conjunction with an underlying base zone such as a commercial 10 or residential District. Both oil facilities allowed by suffix and the other 11 uses allowed by the base zone are permitted. Currently, the City has two 12 oil suffixes the ".0" which allows existing oil wells and attendant facilities 13 but no new wells, and the "01" which allows the drilling of new wells in 14 addition to all uses in the "0" District. These suffixes, with certain 15 modifications, are also employed in this Specific Plan. In addition to the oil 16 suffixes three Resource Production Overlays have been identified. Existing 17 and/or expanded oil production may continue in these areas provided that 18 the additional conditions outlined in this subsection are met. 19 20 4.14.01 Oil Overla,, 21 22 The regulations in this overlay District facilitate continued oil recovery, but 23 require all new facilities to be concentrated into a screened, soundproofed 24 and landscaped expansion of the existing oil site and encourage the 25 expeditious removal of existing wells from oil overlay "B". 26 27 Boundaries. Oil overlay "A" includes an existing oil island located in 28 District #2, between 19th and 18th streets from Pacific Coast Highway to 29 the area is Walnut Avenue. 30 31 Regulations. New wells and related facilities shall be permitted in 32 accordance with the -01 suffix and related provisions in the Huntington 33 Beach Ordinance Code provided, however, that the following additional 34 conditions are met: 35 36 (a) Any new well must be part of a secondary or other enhanced oil 37 recovery project of used as a replacement of an existing well. 38 39 (b) A schedule for abandonment of all wells operated by the project 40 proponent which are located within Bolsa Chica State Beach shall 41 be submitted to and approved by the Director of Development 42 Services prior to the drilling of any new well. This schedule may be 43 amended at the discretion of the Director of Development Services. 44 45 (c) The project proponent shall agree to a memorandum of 46 understanding with the City as a condition for approval, stating that 47 no new wells shall be drilled by that company on Bolsa Chica State 48 Beach (oil overlay "B") nor shall the existing wells be redrilled 49 except, in such cases where: 1) the redrilled well will be produced 50 by a "subsurface" or "down-hole" pump, only, or 2) the redrilled 51 well will be produced by other new technology with fewer visual 4/legdrft/8/12/94 72 I and environmental impacts than a conventional ball and plunger 2 pump, or 3) an intensified screening plan is approved the Director 3 of Development Services which substantially improves the 4 appearance of the area. 5 6 (d) The operation site hall be screened by a wall, fence, or structure in 7 keeping with the character of the area. The site shall also be 8 landscaped so as to ensure visual compatibility with the surrounding 9 area. A screening and landscaping plan must be submitted to and 10 approved by the Director. All structures shall generally conform to 11 the height limits and setback requirements of the base District. The 12 Director may waive these restriction if it would result in better 13 overall soundproofing, odor reduction and/or visual compatibility. 14 15 4.14.02 Oil Overlgy B" 16 The regulations in this overlay facilitate continued oil recovery, wells may 17 be redrilled if surface pumping units are replaced with a subsurface ones. 18 Drilling of new wells may be permitted but only if the result is a significant 19 reduction in the amount of space used for oil operations on the beach. 20 21 Boundaries. Oil overlay "B" comprises a section of Bolsa Chica State 22 Beach currently in oil production in District #11 between Goldenwest and 23 11th streets. 24 25 Re zulations. Wells may be redrilled in accordance with the -0 suffix in the 26 Huntington Beach Ordinance Code provided, however, that the following 27 additional conditions are met: 28 29 (a) The operator submits a report to the Department of Development 30 Services explaining why there is no other feasible, environmentally 31 less damaging inland site (such a report must be approved by the 32 Director); or agrees to a memorandum of understanding with the 33 City stating that the redrilled well will be produced by a subsurface 34 or down-hole pump or other new technology with fewer visual and 35 environmental impacts than a conventional ball and plunger pump. 36 37 (b) A schedule for abandonment of all wells operated by the project 38 proponent which are lgcated within Bolsa Chica State Beach shall 39 be submitted to and approved by the Director of Development 40 Services prior to the drilling of any new well. This schedule may be 41 amended at the discretion of the Director of Development Services. 42 43 (c) All redrilling operations shall be limited to a period from October 1 44 to May 31, except for emergencies for which the Fire Chief may 45 waive these seasonal restrictions, but shall require soundproofing in 46 accordance with Title 15 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code. 47 48 New wells may be permitted if they are part of an overall 49 consolidation plan which significantly reduces the area used for oil 50 facilities or expedites the removal of existing oil facilities within the 51 overlay area. A consolidation plan must be submitted to the 4/legdrft/8/12/94 73 n I Director of Development Services for approval before a permit for 2 drilling any new well will be issued. All drilling operations must be 3 conducted in accordance with the requirements of the 01 suffix in 4 the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. 5 6 4.14.03 Oil Overlay "C" 7 8 The regulations in the overlay facilitate continued oil recovery and provides 9 for future oil production needs. 10 11 Boundaries. Oil overlay "C" is an irregularly shaped site in District 98A 12 between Lake Street and Huntington Avenue and Atlanta Avenue. 13 14 Regulations. Well drilling and redrilling shall be permitted in accordance 15 with Title 15 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and with the 0 or 16 01 suffix and related provisions in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. 17 A conceptual site plan for the entire overlay area must be submitted prior 18 to permitting any project development or subdivision of land within the 19 overlay. The plan shall include at least one (1) oil island of not less than 20 two (2) acres in size for new oil well drilling and oil production. Such 21 island(s) shall be incorporated into the overall development plan so that 22 noise, odor and visual impacts on the residences are minimized, and safe 23 access to the oil site(s) is provided. Findings that at least one such island 24 so designed is incorporated into the plan shall be made by the Planning 25 Commission before approving any development project. 26 4/legdrft/8/12/94 74 1 4.15 CONSERVATION OVERLAY 2 3 Purpose. The conservation overlay is intended to regulate those areas 4 which have been preliminary identified as wetlands. Upon determination by 5 the California Department of Fish and Game that an area is classified as a 6 wetland the conditions of this overlay shall apply. 7 8 Boundary. The State Department of Fish and Game has identified an area 9 within District 813 as containing .8 acres of existing wetland and 1.4 acres 10 of restorable wetland. The 2.2 acre area is immediately adjacent to Beach 11 Boulevard (see Figure 4.14). 12 13 Reyulations. Development shall be permitted only pursuant to an overall 14 development plan for the entire overlay area and subject to the following: 15 as a condition of any development on this parcel, topographic, vegetation, 16 and soils information identifying the extent of any existing wetlands shall be 17 submitted to the Director. The information shall be prepared by a qualified 18 professional, and shall be subject to review by the California Department of 19 Fish and Game. If any wetland is determined by the Department of Fish 20 and Game to be severely degraded pursuant to Sections 30233 and 30411 21 of the California Coastal Act, or if it is less than one (1) acre in size, other 22 restoration options may be undertaken, pursuant to the Coastal 23 Commission's "Statewide Interpretive Guidelines for Wetlands and other 24 Wet Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas." Conservation easements, 25 dedications or other similar mechanisms shall be required over all wetland 26 areas as a condition of development, to assure permanent protection. 27 Public vehicular traffic shall be prohibited in wetland areas governed by a 28 conservation easement. Specific drainage and erosion control requirements 29 shall. be incorporated into the project design to ensure that wetland areas 30 are not adversely affected. No further subdivision of any parcel shall be 31 permitted which would have the effect of dividing off environmentally 32 sensitive habitat from other portions of such parcels for which urban uses 33 are permitted in the City's Coastal Element until such time as the permanent 34 protection of any wetland is assured. Within areas identified as wetlands in 35 the coastal zone, the uses of the Coastal Conservation District shall 36 supersede the uses of the FP1 and FP2 district. 4/legdrft/8/12/94 75 1 CONSERVATION OVERLAY MAP 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 Figure 4.15 4/legdrft/8/12/94 76 1 4.16 MOBILEHOME DISTRICT 2 3 Purpose.

(c) Any commercial business (retail, office, restaurant) which requests to participate in the in-lieu parking fee program shall submit a conditional use permit application for review and approval. 4.2.14 The Downtown Parking Master Plan The Downtown Parking Master Plan is based on a shared parking concept. Shared parking in effect allows one (1) parking space to serve two (2) or more individual land uses without conflict. Shared parking relies on the variations in the peak parking demand for different uses. In other words, parking demands will fluctuate in relationship to the mix of uses by hour, day of week and season. The proper mix will create an interrelationship among different uses and activities which results in a reduction of the demand for parking. The Downtown core area is centered along the Main Street commercial corridor. This commercial corridor divides into two (2) distinct areas, north and south of Orange. The area which encompasses the Downtown Parking Master Plan is as identified on the area map (Figure 4.1). Area 1 - The area south of Orange Avenue along Main Street provides the greatest amount of public parking opportunities both off-street and on-street. Area 1 will have the greatest number of visitor serving and seasonal commercial uses including year round entertainment. This area will also have the greatest concentration of expanded commercial, restaurant and office uses, and therefore, the majority of the public parking spaces should be provided in this area. Area 2 - The area north of Orange Avenue along Main Street provides limited amounts of public parking opportunities. This area is still part of the Downtown core. However, the commercial uses in Area 2 will cater more to the year round residents, therefore, additional on-street short term parking should be provided. This area will be a mixed use area with a significant amount of residential uses. The amount of commercial and office parking has been reduced. The Downtown Master Plan anticipates a total development scenario of approximately 450,000 to 500,000 square feet of commercial activity. The Master Plan has development thresholds of 100,000 square feet for restaurant, 250,000 square feet for retail, 100,000 square feet for office and 50,000 square feet for miscellaneous development. Area 1 will contain approximately 350,000 to 400,000 square feet with the remaining 50,000 to 100,000 square feet of activity occurring in Area 2. It shall be the responsibility of the Community Development Department to monitor the development square footage per use and parking spaces within the Downtown Parking Master Plan area. The location and type of parking resources available in the Downtown area recognizes that two different and distinct implementation approaches are necessary for each of the (DTWNSP2-1) 13 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 LEGEND PARKING MASTER PLAN AREA I A.

QFIC.,rO,6�T H.VY- — — _, — _ I I - - - I � I (PMM1P.N.CDR) areas. The adjusted parking requirement was calculated for both Area 1 and Area 2 (Figure 4.2). Area 1 - In Area 1 the restaurant and retail parking requirement was reduced by thirty- three percent and twenty-five percent respectively. The office requirement by seventy- five percent. In addition, the theatre parking requirement was reduced from the existing code requirement of one (1) parking space for every third seat to one (1) parking space for every fifth seat. This reduction is based on surveys conducted by the theatre industry. These reductions recognize the time differential and captive market concepts. Expanding commercial activity in this area remains the focus of the Downtown Master Plan, however, no additional parking for new or expanded commercial, restaurant and office uses should be required. The majority of public parking opportunities currently exist in this area and the current parking supply exceeds the parking demand. This parking supply will continue to be adequate provided the total square footage of uses do not exceed the Master Plan projections. The city shall retain the option to purchase property for a public parking facility. Area 2 - In Area 2 the retail and office requirement was reduced by fifty percent. This recognizes that the retail activity will be primarily convenience commercial catering to local residents on short term shopping trips. The office parking requirement reduction is based on the minimal number of office opportunities and the on-site parking. Restaurant uses were not given a reduction factor. Numerous conflicts are created between restaurant and residential uses, therefore, restaurants should be required to provide one hundred percent of their parking requirement on-site. The existing Downtown public parking facilities are not conveniently located for use in this area, thus, a combination of expanded on-street and on-site parking may be necessary for new or expanded commercial uses. However, providing the commercial activity remains primarily service related commercial, the existing supply of on-street and on- site parking should be sufficient for anticipated uses. All future development projects must be carefully reviewed for parking concerns. The mix of commercial and residential activities can justify a parking reduction and additional parking may not be necessary if development does not exceed the Master Plan projections. The city shall retain the option to purchase property for a public parking facility. The Planning Commission or City Council may impose one (1), all, or a combination of the following requirements to ensure that adequate parking is provided for each development which exceeds the development caps based upon entitlement: 1. Require on-site parking for all projects one-half(1/2) block or greater in size. 2. Require that any parking in-lieu fees be full cost recovery based on the parking requirement for specific uses. However, allow that these fees be paid over an amortization period, with appropriate security provided by the applicant to guarantee payment.. 3. Require valet parking once the maximum buildout of restaurant activity has been obtained. 4. Commercial projects greater than 10,000 square feet in size shall be required to submit a parking management plan consistent with the Downtown Parking Master Plan. 5. Require valet and/or remote parking for special events and activities. 6. Require the applicant to provide additional on-site and/or off-site parking for any development.

In addition to City standard landscape plans and specifications, the following shall apply: (a) All setback areas fronting on or visible from an adjacent public street, and all recreation, leisure and open space areas shall be landscaped and permanently maintained in an attractive manner and shall be consistent with the adopted Design Guidelines. (b) Permanent automatic electric irrigation facilities shall be provided in all landscaped areas. (c) On-site trees shall be provided in all developments as follows: One (1) thirty-six (36) inch box tree for each residential unit or for each 2,500 square feet of gross site area for commercial or office space. Alternatively, the equivalent of thirty-six (36) inch box trees may be provided where feasible (except when palm trees are required). Seventy-five (75) percent of the total requirement shall be thirty-six (36) inch box trees and the remaining twenty-five (25) percent of such requirement may be provided at a ratio of one (1) inch for one (1) inch through the use of twenty-four (24) inch box trees. Additional trees and shrubs shall also be planted to provide a well-balanced landscape environment. Exception: Structures fronting on Main Street, Fifth Street and Third Street, with a required five (5) foot setback shall be exempt from this requirement. (d) A landscape and irrigation plan in conformance with the adopted Design Guidelines shall be subject to approval by the Director and the Department of Public Works prior to the issuance of building permits. (e) All parking lots shall provide a decorative masonry wall or landscaped berm installed in the setback area. All landscaping shall be installed within the parking lot area, in accordance with the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. Parking structures must screen all street-level parking areas from the public ROW. Such screening must be approved by the Director. The setback area shall be landscaped in accordance with the following guidelines and a landscape plan shall be submitted to and approved by the Director: Where feasible, planting material shall include a minimum three (3) five (5) gallon size shrubs for each seventy-five (75) square feet of landscaped area and at least one (1) thirty-six (36) inch box tree or palm for each one hundred and fifty (150) square feet of landscaped area (except when palm trees are required).

A portion of District#11 is designated with an Oil Suffix (0,01). Within this area, all the requirements of the Resource Production Overlay shall apply (see Section 4.14). (DTWNSP2-1) 53 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 OIL DISTRICT OVERLAY MAP Figure 4.14 (DTWNSP2-1) 54 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 4.14 RESOURCE PRODUCTION OVERLAY Purpose. The Downtown Specific Plan area overlies long-productive 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 facilities by designating oil "suffix" zoning Districts in connection with an underlying base zone such as a commercial or residential District. Both oil facilities allowed by suffix and the other uses allowed 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 "0 V which allows the drilling of new wells in addition to all uses in the "0" District. These suffixes, 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 regulations in this overlay District facilitate continued oil recovery, but require all new facilities to be concentrated into a screened, soundproofed and landscaped expansion of the existing oil site and encourage the expeditious removal of existing wells from oil overlay "B". Boundaries. Oil overlay "A" includes an existing oil island located in District#2, between 19th and 18th streets from Pacific Coast Highway to the area is Walnut Avenue. Regulations. New wells and related facilities shall be permitted in accordance with the- 01 suffix and related provisions in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code provided, however, that the following additional conditions are met: (a) Any new well must be part of a secondary or other enhanced oil recovery project of used as a replacement of an existing well. (b) A schedule for abandonment of all wells operated by the project proponent which are located within Bolsa Chica State Beach shall be submitted to and approved by the Director of Development Services prior to the drilling of any new well. This (DTWNSP2-1) 55 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 schedule may be amended at the discretion of the Director of Development Services. (c) The project proponent shall agree to a memorandum of understanding with the City as a condition for approval, stating that no new wells shall be drilled by that company on Bolsa Chica State Beach(oil overlay "B") nor shall the existing wells be redrilled except, in such cases where: 1) the redrilled well will be produced by a "subsurface" or "down-hole" pump, only, or 2) the redrilled well will be produced by other new technology with fewer visual and environmental impacts than a conventional ball and plunger, pump, or 3) an intensified screening plan is approved the Director of Development Services which substantially improves the appearance of the area. (d) The operation site hall be screened by a wall, fence, or structure in keeping with the character of the area. The site shall also be landscaped so as to ensure visual compatibility with the surrounding area. A screening and landscaping plan must be submitted to and approved by the Director. All structures shall generally conform to the height limits and setback requirements of the base District. The Director may waive these restriction if it would result in better overall soundproofing, odor reduction and/or visual compatibility. 4.14.02 Oil Overlay "B" The regulations in this overlay facilitate continued oil recovery, wells may be redrilled if surface pumping units are replaced with a subsurface ones. Drilling of new wells may be permitted but only if the result is a significant reduction in the amount of space used for oil operations on the beach. Boundaries. Oil overlay "B" comprises a section of Bolsa Chica State Beach currently in oil production in District #11 between Goldenwest and llth streets. Regulations. Wells may be redrilled in accordance with the -0 suffix in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code provided, however, that the following additional conditions are met: (a) The operator submits a report to the Department of Development Services explaining why there is no other feasible, environmentally less damaging inland site (such a report must be approved by the Director); or agrees to a memorandum of understanding with the City stating that the redrilled well will be produced by a subsurface or down-hole pump or other new technology with fewer visual and environmental impacts than a conventional ball and plunger pump. (b) A schedule for abandonment of all wells operated by the project proponent which are located within Bolsa Chica State Beach shall be submitted to and approved by the Director of Development Services prior to the drilling of any new well. This schedule may be amended at the discretion of the Director of Development Services. (c) All redrilling operations shall be limited to a period from October 1 to May 31, except for emergencies for which the Fire Chief may waive these seasonal restrictions, but shall require soundproofing in accordance with Title 15 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code. New wells may be permitted if they are part of an overall consolidation plan which significantly reduces the area used for oil facilities or expedites the removal of existing oil facilities within the overlay area. A consolidation plan must be submitted to the Director of Development Services for approval before a permit for drilling any new well (DTWNSP2-1) 56 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 will be issued. All drilling operations must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the 01 suffix in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. 4.14.03 Oil Overlay "C" The regulations in the overlay facilitate continued oil recovery and provides for future oil production needs. Boundaries. Oil overlay "C" is an irregularly shaped site in District #8A between Lake Street and Huntington Avenue and Atlanta Avenue. Regulations. Well drilling and redrilling shall be permitted in accordance with Title 15 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and with the 0 or 01 suffix and related provisions in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. A conceptual site plan for the entire overlay area must be submitted prior to permitting any project development or subdivision of land within the overlay. The plan shall include at least one (1) oil island of not less than two (2) acres in size for new oil well drilling and oil production. Such island(s) shall be incorporated into the overall development plan so that noise, odor and visual impacts on the residences are minimized, and safe access to the oil site(s) is provided. Findings that at least one such island so designed is incorporated into the plan shall be made by the Planning Commission before approving any development project. (DTWNSP2-1) 57 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 w 4.15 CONSERVATION OVERLAY Purpose. The conservation overlay is intended to regulate those areas which have been preliminary identified as wetlands. Upon determination by the California Department of Fish and Game that an area is classified as a wetland the conditions of this overlay shall apply Boundary. The State Department of Fish and Game has identified an area within District 8B as containing .8 acres of existing wetland and 1.4 acres of restorable wetland. The 2.2 acre area is immediately adjacent to Beach Boulevard(see Figure 4.14). Regulations. Development shall be permitted only pursuant to an overall development plan for the entire overlay area and subject to the following: as a condition of any development on this parcel, topographic, vegetation, and soils information identifying the extent of any existing wetlands shall be submitted to the Director. The information shall be prepared by a qualified professional, and shall be subject to review by the California Department of Fish and Game. If any wetland is determined by the Department of Fish and Game to be severely degraded pursuant to Sections 30233 and 30411 of the California Coastal Act, or if it is less than one (1) acre in size, other restoration options may be undertaken, pursuant to the Coastal Commission's "Statewide Interpretive Guidelines for Wetlands and other Wet Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas." Conservation easements, dedications or other similar mechanisms shall be required over all wetland areas as a condition of development, to assure permanent protection. Public vehicular traffic shall be prohibited in wetland areas governed by a conservation easement. Specific drainage and erosion control requirements shall be incorporated into the project design to ensure that wetland areas are not adversely affected. No further subdivision of any parcel shall be permitted which would have the effect of dividing off environmentally sensitive habitat from other portions of such parcels for which urban uses are permitted in the City's Coastal Element until such time as the permanent protection of any wetland is assured. Within areas identified as wetlands in the coastal zone, the uses of the Coastal Conservation District shall supersede the uses of the FP and FP2 district.

As you recall, the Council continued this item from its meeting on August 1, 1994, recommending that the Downtown Specific Plan Subcommittee of the Council meet again with staff and interested citizens to ensure the final document accurately reflected all of the understandings reached during the amendment process. On August 5, 1994, the downtown Specific Plan Subcommittee held their follow-up meeting and the Huntington Beach Company had an opportunity to explain its opposition to certain changes to Districts 7 and 8a in the proposed amendment which were the subject of our previous letters to you (copies attached). Based on the August 5, 1994 meeting, and with our support, we understand the Subcommittee will be recommending the following previously proposed changes be dropped from the final amendment. District Section Previously Proposed Subcommittee Recommendation 7 4.9.04 Reduce the maximum building Leave maximum building height height from 8 stories to 4 stories at 8 stories 7 4.9.09 Add requirement for additional Remove this requirement building setbacks above the second story Mayor Linda Moulton-Patterson September 1, 1994 Page 2 7 4.9.10 Add requirement that a minimum Remove this requirement 15% of property be set aside for public open space Again, we are pleased with the Subcommittee's recommendation and agree with the removal of these items affecting District 7. We remain, however, strongly opposed to the addition of the Public Transportation Center as a permitted use in Districts 7 and 8a. Although we were given assurances by staff and Subcommittee members that "permitted use" does not mean "required use", we wonder why the transportation center was not added as a permitted use in any other District. For this reason, we fear that the transportation center will become, essentially, a mandate in our district. We do not feel it is an appropriate use, particularly in District 8a, given its residential zoning and the residential uses of surrounding properties. We recall previous staff studies that focused on other more appropriate sites such as District 11. Huntington Beach Company remains committed to bringing a quality development to our property that will be a benefit to Huntington Beach in every sense. We continue to work with interested parties to establish an appropriate visitor-serving focal point for the property. In line with this objective, we look forward to an October 6, 1994 meeting arranged by Director of Community Development, Melanie Fallon, with renowned architect Jon Jerde to discuss the potential for retail uses on the property.

As mentioned in that letter, we had been following the progress of Code Amendment 92-5 for the past 18 months. During this period the focus was on Districts 1 - 6 and, therefore, we had no reason to anticipate that significant changes would be proposed for Districts 7 and 8a which are comprised of our property. Within the past year we have been working with Barry Berkus, a renowned architect and land planner with excellent contacts and a world-wide reputation for creativity and success. Mr. Berkus has helped us to develop mixed use concepts for our property and identify potential users. (We have also asked Mr. Berkus to review the proposed changes to Code Amendment No. 92-5, and have enclosed his letter of June 29, 1994, which we believe contains valuable comments and insights.) We have also met with City Staff to obtain their ideas and desires for the property. We share the City's goal to: 1) identify quality visitor-serving uses for the site that will contribute both property tax and sales tax revenue to the city, as well as property tax increment to invest in the Main-Pier Redevelopment Area, and 2) ensure quality residential development that will attract new residents who will support and enhance the viability of downtown businesses on a year round basis. In order to attract users that will meet these goals, we feel it is critical that new and more restrictive planning constraints not be added to the property at this time. Furthermore, if more flexibility (as outlined below) can be built into the Specific Plan covering these districts, while still maintaining the same requirement for overall site plan approval as exists now, we stand a better chance of meeting our mutual goals. Mayor Linda Moulton-Patterson June 29, 1994 Page 2 If the council wishes to give consideration to significant zoning issues within Districts 7 and 8a as part of this Code Amendment, HBCo would like the same opportunity to do that which was afforded property owners in Districts 1 - 6, specifically, we would like the opportunity to discuss and pursue the following changes to Districts 7 and 8a with staff, the Planning Commission and the City Council: 1. Combination of Districts 7 and 8a into one district to allow greater flexibility in site planning for a mix of uses. 2. Establishment of a maximum number of residential units or commercial square footage rather than setting a maximum density or F.A.R. 3. Expansion of permitted uses to include timeshare. 4. Modify the nil Production overlay zoning to make it a permitted use with flexible siting rather than a required use.. 5. Elimination of the Mobile Home overlay zoning in District 7. 6. Elimination of the Pacific Electric ROW public access corridor requirement through Districts 7 and 8a. In summary, we feel that it is critical, at a minimum, to strike the six changes in Code Amendment 92-5 affecting Districts 7 and 8a to which we have objected in our letter of June 3, 1994. Further, we would welcome the opportunity to work with the City on a collaborative basis to review the existing Specific Plan status of this property, the suggested changes we have outlined above, or consider other suggestions to help move towards our common goals for this property. We would be happy to further focus on Districts 7 and 8a now, as part of Code Amendment 92-5, or later as a follow-up project, whichever is preferable to the City. Sincerely, Al`�I_ Brian J.

Rippy, Senior Project Manager Huntington Beach Company 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 250 Newport Beach, CA 92660-7912 Re: Huntington Beach Specific Plan Proposed Code Amendments to Districts 7 & 8 Dear Jim: I am writing regarding the proposed revisions to the Downtown Specific Plan Amendments. In particular, we are concerned with the proposed reduction in building height from eight to four stories in District 7. The three development alternatives shown in our report dated December 1993 depict an additional hotel at the intersection of Huntington Street and Pacific Coast Highway. The hotel is envisioned as a eight-story building that will complement the existing fourteen-story Hilton Hotel across the street and reinforce the visual gateway to dcmntown Huntington Beach. The transition between the fourteen-story Hilton Hotel and the four-story buildings ni District 3 and 4 will be accomplished through a series of visitor serving buildings of varying heights punctuated at mid-block by a open spacetwater feature. Our concept proposes a dynamic street facade of varying building heights rather than an arbitrary,uniform,consistent standard. Regarding the need for additional setbacks above the second floor: as written, the existing setbacks in District 7 provide for a 50-foot setback from Pacific Coast Highway and a 20-foot setback from First Avenue and the proposed Walnut extension. The requirement for additional setbacks above the second floor should be judged in the content of a specific design proposal and its floor-area- ratio and building height. Additional Specific Plan setback requirements scree no other purpose at this time than limiting buildable area. With respect to the fifteen-percent open space requirement: presently,the Downtown Specific Plan calls for the dedication of a twenty-foot public access corridor between Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. The Specific Plan also raises the possibility that a public open space amenity may be required to assure that proposed uses are predominately visitor serving. All of the site plans and sketches shown in our report depict major open space features at the center of both Districts 7 & 8. We prefer to discuss the amount of public open space through the design review process rather than have it regulated by the Specific Plan. With disagree with the proposed location of a Public Transportation Center on District 8a property. We feel that a transportation center is incompatible with the intended high density residential use in District 8. However,we do feel that bus drop-off zones and shelters are appropriate to include as a requirement for this District. 223 E De la Guerra Street Santa Barbara, California USA 93101-2248 • • • Facsimile 805.966,.1549 .-1--i ewe"& .e., Regarding the reduction in density from 35 units-per-gross-acre to 30 units-per-net-acre. The Specific Plan Amendments proposed in August 1993 suggested redefining the density calculation from units per gross acre to units per net acre. This revision would significantly reduce overall unit count. The current proposed revision to limit density to 30 units per net acre will eliminate approximately 200 units from what was allowed in the original Downtown Specific Plan. One of the original Specific Plan Goals for this District was to provide a sufficient population base to help support the commercial and office uses in the Downtown area. The proposed down-zoning will deny downtown the permanent residents it needs to be fitaanciaUy stable. The reduction in building height from 50-feet to 40-feet will make it nearly impossible to construct 4-story buildings. At densities of 30 units per acre,the parking needs to be located beneath the structure. Parking structures should be partially buried in order to minimize construction costs, avoid mechanical ventilation and provide natural lighting. Ahalf-buried parking structure and four floors of building with a flat roof requires approximately 45-feet. Flat roofs limit architectural expression and may not be desirable in Huntington Beach. Therefore, a 50-foot maximum building height is reasonable and consistent with the regulations of other municipalities. In conclusion, we believe that the proposed Huntington Beach Specific Plan amendments are not in the best interest of the community or the Huntington Beach Company and wc would ask City Council to postpone action on these amendments until you have had the opportunity to discuss with Council in more detail.

We have been following the proposed amendments to the core area of the Downtown Specific Plan over the past 18 months and generally supported the amended Plan as approved by the Planning Commission in July, 1993. In October, 1993 we engaged the world-renowned firm of B3 Architects and Planners to prepare a series of conceptual development plans for this key property to be presented to the City Staff, Planning Commission and City Council. On April 26, 1994, we were invited by your Economic Development staff to discuss our plans for the property and made a presentation of the plans and concepts developed by B3. Neither we nor your staff were advised or aware of any proposed changes to the zoning on this property. We have only recently discovered that significant new changes have been proposed in Districts 7 and 8; areas not previously reviewed by the Planning Commission. Upon review of the most recent staff report, it appears that a subcommittee of the City Council is proposing the following additional amendments to the Downtown Specific Plan Districts 7 and 8: District Section Proposed Amendment 7 4.9.04 Reduce the maximum building height from eight stories to four stories. 7 4.9.09 Add a requirement for additional building setbacks above the second story. 7 4.9.10 Add a requirement that a minimum of 15 percent of the property be set aside for public open space. 8 4.10.01 Add a public transportation center as a permitted use. 8 4.10.03 Reduce the maximum allowable density from 35 units per gross acre to 30 units per net acre. 8 4.10.04 Reduce the maximum building height from 50 feet to four stories, or 40 feet, based on the new definition of building height in Section 4.2.04 (a). We are disturbed by and strongly oppose these changes to the Specific Plan for the following reasons: 1. The proposed changes were not considered by the Planning Commission as part of their comprehensive review of the Plan. There has been no public testimony regarding the reasons or need for any changes to be made to the districts south of First Street. 2. These changes severely limit the potential to develop revenue-producing visitor serving commercial uses on the property. This property is physically separated from the Downtown core and is not as severely constrained in its configuration and relationship to local streets that height limits and setback requirements appropriate for Districts 5 and 6 along Main Street are appropriate in District 7. District 7 already requires significant setbacks from Pacific Coast Highway (50 feet) and other surrounding streets (20 feet). The proposed requirement for additional upper story setbacks serves no useful planning purpose and only constrains visitor-serving uses. District 7 is similar in its orientation to the ocean to adjacent District 9, the City-owned property, which has no height limit and is the location of the existing 14-story Waterfront Hilton Resort. We believe that the existing eight-story height limit in District 7 is appropriate as a transition between taller buildings to the south and four- story buildings to the north in District 3, and in consideration of the existing larger setbacks and open space requirements and allowable floor area ratio for buildings. Although there is no existing requirement for the amount of public open space provided within District 7,we are not opposed to the proposed 15 percent requirement so long as it is understood that the 15 percent may be distributed throughout the site, and may include required setback areas. 3. In District 8, we strongly oppose all three proposed new limitations on the use and development of this property. The proposed lowering of density from 35 units per acre to 30 units per acre, when combined with the revision from gross site area to net site area, will result in downzoning the property from approximately 700 units to approximately 500 units, or nearly 30 percent. The additional proposed reduction in building height from fifty feet to forty feet will result in less flexibility to design higher quality residential units incorporating higher ceilings and volume spaces demanded by today's market. The combined effect of all these changes is to significantly limit the number and quality of new homes that can be developed, which in turn will significantly reduce the value of the property, the potential property tax revenues for City services, future tax increment available to reinvest in the Main Pier Redevelopment Project Area and the number of new residents to support Downtown businesses. Further, we are not aware that any fiscal impact analysis has been performed to address the impacts of the suggested amendments. 4. The proposed addition of a public transportation center as a "permitted" use in District 8 is not only incompatible with the property's residential zoning, but, we feel, is intended by the City Council subcommittee to be a "required" use, since such a use is not permitted in any other district of the Downtown Specific Plan. The restriction of this "permitted" public use to private property within District 8 is tantamount to a taking of private property. We hereby request that that the City Council continue any action to amend the zoning within Districts 7 and 8 until we have had an opportunity to jointly discuss these and other issues related to this property, including the status of Walnut Avenue and the need for oil production and mobile home overlays to remain on this site. We have no objection to the proposed code amendment as it affects other districts of the Downtown Specific Plan.

Shared parking in effect allows one (1) 19 parking space to serve two (2) or more individual land uses 20 without conflict. Shared parking relies on- the variations in 21 the peak parking for different uses. In other words, parking 22 demands will fluctuate in relationship to the mix of uses by 23 hour, day of week and season. The proper mix will create an 24 interrelationship among different uses and activities which 25 results in a reduction of the demand for parking. 26 27 The Downtown core area is centered along the Main Street 28 commercial corridor. This commercial corridor divides into 29 two (2) distinct areas, north and south of Orange. The area 30 which encompasses the Downtown Parking Master Plan is as 31 identified on the area map (Figure 4.1). 32 33 Area 1 - The area south of Orange Avenue along Main 34 tryprovides the greatest amount of public parking 35 opportunities both off-street and on-street. Area 1 will have 36 the greatest number of visitor serving and seasonal 37 commercial uses including year round entertainment. This 38 area will also have the greatest concentration of expanded 39 commercial, restaurant and office uses, and therefore, the 40 majority of the public parking spaces should be provided in 41 this area. 42 43 Area 2 - The area north of Orange Avenue along Main 44 Street provides limited amounts of public parking 45 opportunities. This area is still part of the Downtown core. i 46 However, the commercial uses n Area 2 will cater more to 47 the year round residents, therefore, additional on-street 48 short term parking should be provided. This area will be a 49 mixed use area with a significant amount of residential uses. 50 The amount of commercial and office parking has been 51 reduced. 4/legdrft/7/20/94 16 1 2 The Downtown Master Plan anticipates a total development 3 scenario of approximately 450,000 to 500,000 square feet of 4 commercial activity. The Master Plan has development s thresholds of 100,000 square feet for restaurant, Z50,000 6 square feet for retail, 100,000 square feet for office and 7 50 000 square feet for miscellaneous development. Area 1 8 wiil contain approximately 350,000 to 400,000 square feet 9 with the remaining 50,000 to 100,000 square feet of activity 10 occurring in Area 2. It shall be the responsibility of the 11 Community Development Department to monitor the 12 development square footage per use and parking spaces 13 within the Downtown Parking Master Plan area. 14 is The location and type of parking resources available in the 16 Downtown area recognizes that two different and distinct 17 implementation approaches are necessary for each of the 18 areas. The adjusted parking requirement was calculated for 19 both Area 1 and Area 2 (Figure 4.2). 20 21 Area 1 - In Area 1 the restaurant and retail parking 22 requirement was reduced by thirty-four percent and twenty 23 percent respectively. The office requirement by.seventy-five 24 percent. In addition, the theater parking requirement was 25 reduced from the existing code requirement of one (1) 26 parking space for every third seat to one (1) parking space 27 for every fifth seat. This reduction is based on surveys 28 conducted by, the theater industry. These reductions 29 recognize the time differential and captive market concepts. 30 Expanding commercial activi in this area remains the 31 focus of the Downtown Master-Plan, however, no additional 32 parking for new or expanded commercial,, restaurant and 33 office uses should be required. The maaority of public 34 parking opportunities currently exist in this area and the 35 current parking supply exceeds the parking demand. This 36 parking supply will continue to be adequate provided the 37 total square footage of uses do not exceed the Master Plan 38 projections. 39 40 Area 2 - In Area 2 the retail and office requirement was 41 re uce by fifty percent. This recognizes that the retail 42 activity will be primarily convenience commercial catering 43 to local residents on short term shopping trips. The office 44 parking requirement reduction is based on the minimal 45 number of office opportunities and the on-site parking. 46 Restaurant uses were not given a reduction factor. 47 Numerous conflicts are created between restaurant and 48 residential uses, therefore, restaurants should be required to 49 provide one hundred percent of their parking requirement 50 on-site. The existing Downtown public parking facilities are 51 not conveniently located for use in this area, thus, a 4/legdrft/7/20/94 17 I combination of expanded on-street and on-site parking may 2 be necessary for new or expanded commercial uses. 3 However, providing the commercial activity remains 4 primarily service related commercial, the existing supply of 5 on-street and on-site parking should be sufficient for 6 anticipated uses. All future development pro ects must be 7 carefully reviewed for parking concerns. the .city shall 8 retain the option to purchase property for a public parking 9 facility. . The mix of commercial and residential activities 10 can justify a parking reduction and additional parking may 11 not a necessary if development does not exceed the Master 12 Plan projections. 13 14 The Planning Commission or City Council may impose one 15 (1), all, or a combination of the following requirements to 16 ensure that adequate parking is provided for each 17 development which exceeds the development caps based 18 upon entitlement: 19 20 1. Require on-site parking for all projects one-half(1/2) 21 block or greater in size. 22 23 2. Require that any parking in-lieu fees be full cost 24 recovery based on the parking requirement for 25 specific uses. However, allow that these fees be paid 26 over an amortization period, with appropriate security 27 provided by the applicant to guarantee payment.. 28 29 3. Require valet parking once the maximum buildout of 30 restaurant activity has been obtained. 31 32 4. Commercial projects greater than 10,000 square feet 33 in size shall be required to submit a parking 34 management plan consistent with the Downtown 35 Parking Master Plan. 36 37 5. Require valet and/or remote parking for special events 38 and activities. 39 40 6. Require the applicant to provide additional on-site and 41 /or off-site parking for any development. 42 43 7. Develop parking options which may generate 44 additional parking for any development. 45 46 4.2.14 4.2.15 Landscaping.

The Downtown Specific Plan area overlies long-productive oil 28 pools. Many facilities are still operating because of the extent of the 29 remaining reserves, therefore oil production will continue to be permitted 30 in parts of this area. 31 32 The City provides for oil facilities by designating oil "suffix" zoning 33 Districts in conjunction with an underlying base zone such as a commercial 34 or residential District. Both oil facilities allowed by suffix and the other 35 uses allowed by the base zone are permitted. Currently, the City has two 36 oil suffixes the "0" which allows existing oil wells and attendant facilities 37 but no new wells, and the "0 V which allows the drilling of new wells in 38 addition to all uses in the "0" District. These suffixes, with certain 39 modifications, are also employed in this Specific Plan. In addition to the oil 40 suffixes three Resource Production Overlays have been identified. Existing 41 and/or expanded oil production may continue in these areas provided that 42 the additional conditions outlined in this subsection are met. 43 44 4.14.01 Oil Overlay "A" 45 46 The regulations in this overlay District facilitate continued oil recovery, but 47 require all new facilities to be concentrated into a screened, soundproofed 48 and landscaped expansion of the existing oil site and encourage the 49 expeditious removal of existing wells from oil overlay "B". 50 4/1egdrft/7/20/94 75 I Boundaries. Oil overlay "A" includes an existing oil-island located in 2 District #2, between 19th and 18th streets from Pacific Coast Highway to 3 the area is Walnut Avenue. 4 5 Regulations. New wells and related facilities shall be permitted in 6 accordance with the -01 suffix and related provisions in the Huntington 7 Beach Ordinance Code provided, however, that the following additional 8 conditions are met: 9 10 (a) Any new well must be part of a secondary or other enhanced oil 11 recovery project of used as a replacement of an existing well. 12 13 (b) A schedule for abandonment of all wells operated by the project 14 proponent which are located within Bolsa Chica State Beach shall 15 be submitted to and approved by the Director of Development 16 Services prior to the drilling of any new well. This schedule may be 17 amended at the discretion of the Director of Development Services. 18 19 (c) The project proponent shall agree to a memorandum of 20 understanding with the City as a condition for approval, stating that 21 no new wells shall be drilled by that company on Bolsa Chica State 22 Beach (oil overlay "B") nor shall the existing wells be redrilled 23 except, in such cases where: 1) the redrilled well will be produced 24 by a "subsurface" or "down-hole" pump, only, or 2) the redrilled 25 well will be produced by other new technology with fewer visual 26 and environmental impacts than a conventional ball and plunger 27 pump, or 3) an intensified screening plan is approved the Director 28 of Development Services which substantially improves the 29 appearance of the area. 30 31 (d) The operation site hall be screened by a wall, fence, or structure in 32 keeping with the character of the area. The site shall also be 33 landscaped so as to ensure visual compatibility with the surrounding 34 area. A screening and landscaping plan must be submitted to and 35 approved by the Director. All structures shall generally conform to 36 the height limits and setback requirements of the base District. The 37 Director may waive these restriction if it would result in better 38 overall soundproofing, odor reduction and/or visual compatibility. 39 40 4.14.02 Oil Overlay "B" 41 The regulations in this overlay facilitate continued oil recovery, wells may 42 be redrilled if surface pumping units are replaced with a subsurface ones. 43 Drilling of new wells may be permitted but only if the result is a significant 44 reduction in the amount of space used for oil operations on the beach. 45 46 Boundaries. Oil overlay "B" comprises a section of Bolsa Chica State 47 Beach currently in oil production in District #11 between Goldenwest and 48 11th streets. 49 4/1egdrft/7/20/94 76 I Regulations. Wells may be redrilled in accordance with the -0 suffix in the 2 Huntington Beach Ordinance Code provided, however, that the following 3 additional conditions are met: 4 5 (a) The operator submits a report to the Department of Development 6 Services explaining why there is no other feasible, environmentally 7 less damaging inland site (such a report must be approved by the 8 Director); or agrees to a memorandum of understanding with the 9 City stating that the redrilled well will be produced by a subsurface 10 or down-hole pump or other new technology with fewer visual and 11 environmental impacts than a conventional ball and plunger pump. 12 13 (b) A schedule for abandonment of all wells operated by the project 14 proponent which are located within Bolsa Chica State Beach shall 15 be submitted to and approved by the Director of Development 16 Services prior to the drilling of any new well. This schedule may be 17 amended at the discretion of the Director of Development Services. 18 19 (c) All redrilling operations shall be limited to a period from October 1 20 to May 31, except for emergencies for which the Fire Chief may 21 waive these seasonal restrictions, but shall require soundproofing in 22 accordance with Title 15 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code. 23 24 New wells may be permitted if they are part of an overall 25 consolidation plan which significantly reduces the area used for oil 26 facilities or expedites the removal of existing oil facilities within the 27 overlay area. A consolidation plan must be submitted to the 28 Director of Development Services for approval before a permit for 29 drilling any new well will be issued. All drilling operations must be 30 conducted in accordance with the requirements of the 01 suffix in 31 the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. 32 33 4.14.03 Oil Overlay "C" 34 35 The regulations in the overlay facilitate continued oil recovery and provides 36 for future oil production needs. 37 38 Boundaries. Oil overlay "C" is an irregularly shaped site in District #8A 39 between Lake Street and Huntington Avenue and Atlanta Avenue. 40 41 Regulations. Well drilling and redrilling shall be permitted in accordance 42 with Title 15 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and with the 0 or 43 01 suffix and related provisions in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. 44 A conceptual site plan for the entire overlay area must be submitted prior 45 to permitting any project development or subdivision of land within the 46 overlay. The plan shall include at least one (1) oil island of not less than 47 two (2) acres in size for new oil well drilling and oil production. Such 48 island(s) shall be incorporated into the overall development plan so that 49 noise, odor and visual impacts on the residences are minimized, and safe 50 access to the oil site(s) is provided. .Findings that at least one such island 4/legdrft/7/20/94 77 1 so designed is incorporated into the plan shall be made by the Planning 2 Commission before approving any development project. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 4.15 CONSERVATION OVERLAY 30 31 Purpose. The conservation overlay is intended to regulate those areas 32 which have been preliminary identified as wetlands. Upon determination by 33 the California Department of Fish and Game that an area is classified as a 34 wetland the conditions of this overlay shall apply. 35 36 Boundary. The State Department of Fish and Game has identified an area 37 within District 8B as containing .8 acres of existing wetland and 1.4 acres 38 of restorable wetland. The 2.2 acre area is immediately adjacent to Beach 39 Boulevard (see Figure 4.14). 40 41 Regulations. Development shall be permitted only pursuant to an overall 42 development plan for the entire overlay area and subject to the following: 43 as a condition of any development on this parcel, topographic, vegetation, 44 and soils information identifying the extent of any existing wetlands shall be 45 submitted to the Director. The information shall be prepared by a qualified 46 professional, and shall be subject to review by the California Department of 47 Fish and Game. If any wetland is determined by the Department of Fish 48 and Game to be severely degraded pursuant to Sections 30233 and 30411 49 of the California Coastal Act, or if it is less than one (1) acre in size, other 50 restoration options may be undertaken, pursuant to the Coastal 51 Commission's "Statewide Interpretive Guidelines for Wetlands and other 4/legdrft/7/20/94 78 I Wet Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas." Conservation easements, 2 dedications or other similar mechanisms shall be required over all wetland 3 areas as a condition of development, to assure permanent protection. 4 Public vehicular traffic shall be prohibited in wetland areas governed by a 5 conservation easement. Specific drainage and erosion control requirements 6 shall be incorporated into the project design to ensure that wetland areas 7 are not adversely affected. No further subdivision of any parcel shall be 8 permitted which would have the effect of dividing off environmentally 9 sensitive habitat from other portions of such parcels for which urban uses 10 are permitted in the City's Coastal Element until such time as the permanent 11 protection of any wetland is assured. Within areas identified as wetlands in 12 the coastal zone, the uses of the Coastal Conservation District shall 13 supersede the uses of the FP 1 and FP2 district. 14 15 16 CONSERVATION OVERLAY MAP 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 4/legdrft/7/20/94 79 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Figure 4.15 16 4.16 MOBILEHOME DISTRICT 17 18 Purpose.

(c) Any commercial business (retail, office, restaurant) which requests to participate in the in-lieu parking fee program_shall submit a conditional use permit application for review and approval pursuant to Redevelopment Agency Resolution No. 253. 4.2.14 The Downtown Parking Master Plan The Downtown Parking Master Plan is based on a shared parking concept. Shared parking in effect allows one (1) parking space to serve two (2) or more individual land uses without conflict. Shared parking relies on the variations in the peak parking demand for different uses. In other words, parking demands will fluctuate in relationship to the mix of uses by hour, day of week and season. The proper mix will create an interrelationship among different uses and activities which results in a reduction of the demand for parking. The Downtown core area is centered along the Main Street commercial corridor. This commercial corridor divides into two (2) distinct areas, north and south of Orange. The area which encompasses the Downtown Parking Master Plan is as identified on the area map (Figure 4.1). Area 1 - The area south of Orange Avenue along.Main Street provides the greatest amount of public parking opportunities both off-street and on-street. Area 1 will have the greatest number of visitor serving and seasonal commercial uses including year round entertainment. This area will also have the greatest concentration of expanded commercial, restaurant and office uses, and therefore, the majority of the public parking spaces should be provided in this area. Area 2 - The area north of Orange Avenue along Main Street provides limited amounts of public parking opportunities. This area is still part of the Downtown core. However, the commercial uses in Area 2 will cater more to the year round residents, therefore, additional on-street short term parking should be provided. This area will be a mixed use area with a significant amount of residential uses. The amount of commercial and office'parking has been reduced. The Downtown Master Plan anticipates a total development scenario of approximately 450,000 to 500,000 square feet of commercial activity. The Master Plan has development thresholds of 100,000 square feet for restaurant, 250,000 square feet for retail, 100,000 square feet for office and 50,000 square feet for miscellaneous development. Area 1 will contain approximately 350,000 to 400,000 square feet with the remaining 50,000 to 100,000 square feet of activity occurring in Area 2. It shall be the responsibility of the Community Development Department to monitor the development square footage per use and parking spaces within the Downtown Parking Master Plan area. The location and type of parking resources available in the Downtown area recognizes that two different and distinct implementation approaches are necessary for each of the (DTWNSP2-1) 13 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 areas. The adjusted parking requirement was calculated for both Area 1 and Area 2 (Figure 4.2). Area 1 - In Area 1 the restaurant and retail parking requirement was reduced by thirty- four percent and twenty percent respectively. The office requirement by seventy-five percent. In addition, the theatre parking requirement was reduced from the existing code requirement of one (1) parking space for every third seat to one (1) parking space for every fifth seat. This reduction is based on surveys conducted by the theatre industry. These reductions recognize the time differential and captive market concepts. Expanding commercial activity in this area remains the focus of the Downtown Master Plan, however, no additional parking for new or expanded commercial, restaurant and office uses should be required. The majority of public parking opportunities currently exist in this area and the current parking supply exceeds the parking demand. This parking supply will continue to be adequate provided the total square footage of uses do not exceed the Master Plan projections. Area 2 - In Area 2 the retail and office requirement was reduced by fifty percent. This recognizes that the retail activity will be primarily convenience commercial catering to local residents on short term shopping trips. The office parking requirement reduction is based on the minimal number of office opportunities and the on-site parking. Restaurant uses were not given a reduction factor. Numerous conflicts are created between restaurant and residential uses, therefore, restaurants should be required to provide one hundred percent of their parking requirement.on-site. The existing Downtown public parking facilities are not conveniently located for use in this area, thus, a combination of expanded on-street and on-site parking may be necessary for new or expanded commercial uses. However, providing the commercial activity remains primarily service related commercial, the existing supply of on-street and on- site parking should be sufficient for anticipated uses. All future development projects must be carefully reviewed for parking concerns. The city shall retain the option to purchase property for a public parking facility. The mix of commercial and residential activities can justify a parking reduction and additional parking may not be necessary if development does not exceed the Master Plan projections. The Planning Commission or City Council may impose one (1), all, or a combination of the following requirements to ensure that adequate parking is provided for each development which exceeds the development caps based upon entitlement: 1. Require on-site parking for all projects one-half(1/2)block or greater in size. 2. Require that any parking in-lieu fees be full cost recovery based on the parking requirement for specific uses. However, allow that these fees be paid over an amortization period, with appropriate security provided by the applicant to guarantee payment.. 3. Require valet parking once the maximum buildout of restaurant activity has been obtained. 4. Commercial projects greater than 10,000 square feet in size shall be required to submit a parking management plan consistent with the Downtown Parking Master Plan. 5. Require valet and/or remote parking for special events and activities. 6. Require the applicant to provide additional on-site and/or off-site parking for any development.

(DTWNSP2-1) 53 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 OIL DISTRICT OVERLAY MAP Figure 4.14 (DTWNSP2-1) 54 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 4.14 RESOURCE PRODUCTION OVERLAY Purpose. The Downtown Specific Plan area overlies long-productive 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 facilities by designating oil "suffix" zoning Districts in connection with an underlying base zone such as a commercial or residential District. Both oil facilities allowed by suffix and the other uses allowed 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 suffixes, 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 regulations in this overlay District facilitate continued oil recovery, but require all new facilities to be concentrated into a screened, soundproofed and landscaped expansion of the existing oil site and encourage the expeditious removal of existing wells from oil overlay "B". Boundaries. Oil overlay "A" includes an existing oil island located in District #2, between 19th and 18th streets from Pacific Coast Highway to the area is Walnut Avenue. Regulations. New wells and related facilities shall be permitted in accordance with the - 0 1 suffix and related provisions in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code provided, however, that the following additional conditions are met: (a) Any new well must be part of a secondary or other enhanced oil recovery project of used as a replacement of an existing well. (b) A schedule for abandonment of all wells operated by the project proponent which are located within Bolsa Chica State Beach shall be submitted to and approved by the Director of Development Services prior to the drilling of any new well. This (DTWNSP2-1) 55 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 schedule may be amended at the discretion of the Director of Development Services. (c) The project proponent shall agree to a memorandum of understanding with the City as a condition for approval, stating that no new wells shall be drilled by that company on Bolsa Chica State Beach (oil overlay "B") nor shall the existing wells be redrilled except, in such cases where: 1) the redrilled well will be produced by a "subsurface" or "down-hole" pump, only, or 2) the redrilled well will be produced by other new technology with fewer visual and environmental impacts than a conventional ball and plunger, pump, or 3) an intensified screening plan is approved the Director of Development Services which substantially improves the appearance of the area. (d) The operation site hall be screened by a wall, fence, or structure in keeping with the character of the area. The site shall also be landscaped so as to ensure visual compatibility with the surrounding area. A screening and landscaping plan must be submitted to and approved by the Director. All structures shall generally conform to the height limits and setback requirements of the base District. The Director may waive these restriction if it would result in better overall soundproofing, odor reduction and/or visual compatibility. 4.14.02 Oil Overlay "B" The regulations in this overlay facilitate continued oil recovery, wells may be redrilled if surface pumping units are replaced with a subsurface ones. Drilling of new wells may be permitted but only if the result is a significant reduction in the amount of space used for oil operations on the beach. Boundaries. Oil overlay "B" comprises a section of Bolsa Chica State Beach currently in oil production in District#11 between Goldenwest and 11th streets. Regulations. Wells may be redrilled in accordance with the -0 suffix in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code provided, however, that the following additional conditions are met: (a) The operator submits a report to the Department of Development Services explaining why there is no other feasible, environmentally less damaging inland site (such a report must be approved by the Director); or agrees to a memorandum of understanding with the City stating that the redrilled well will be produced by a subsurface or down-hole pump or other new technology with fewer visual and environmental impacts than a conventional ball and plunger pump. (b) A schedule for abandonment of all wells operated by the project proponent which are located within Bolsa Chica State Beach shall be submitted to and approved by the Director of Development Services prior to the drilling of any new well. This schedule may be amended at the discretion of the Director of Development Services. (c) ' All redrilling operations shall be limited to a period from October 1 to May 31, except for emergencies for which the Fire Chief may waive these seasonal restrictions, but shall require soundproofing in accordance with Title 15 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code. New wells may be permitted if they are part of an overall consolidation plan which significantly reduces the area used for oil facilities or expedites the removal of existing oil facilities within the overlay area. A consolidation plan must be submitted to the Director of Development Services for approval before a permit for drilling any new well (DTWNSP2-1) 56 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 will be issued. All drilling operations must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the 01 suffix in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. 4.14.03 Oil Overlay "C" The regulations in the overlay facilitate continued oil recovery and provides for future oil production needs. Boundaries. Oil overlay "C" is an irregularly shaped site in District #8A between Lake Street and Huntington Avenue and Atlanta Avenue. Reaulations. Well drilling and redrilling shall be permitted in accordance with Title 15 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and with the 0 or 01 suffix and related provisions in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. A conceptual site plan for the entire overlay area must be submitted prior to permitting any project development or subdivision of land within the overlay. The plan shall include at least one (1) oil island of not less than two (2) acres in size for new oil well drilling and oil production. Such island(s) shall be incorporated into the overall development plan so that noise, odor and visual impacts on the residences are minimized, and safe access to the oil site(s) is provided. Findings that at least one such island so designed is incorporated into the plan shall be made by the Planning Commission before approving any development project. (DTWNSP2-1) 57 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 4.15 CONSERVATION OVERLAY Purpose. The conservation overlay is intended to regulate those areas which have been preliminary identified as wetlands. Upon determination by the California Department of Fish and Game that an area is classified as a wetland the conditions of this overlay shall apply Boundary. The State Department of Fish and Game has identified an area within District 8B as containing .8 acres of existing wetland and 1.4 acres of restorable wetland. The 2.2 acre area is immediately adjacent to Beach Boulevard (see Figure 4.14). Regulations. Development shall be permitted only pursuant to an overall development plan for the entire overlay area and subject to the following: as a condition of any development on this parcel, topographic, vegetation, and soils information identifying .the extent of any existing wetlands shall be submitted to the Director. The information shall be prepared by a qualified professional, and shall be subject to review by the California Department of Fish and Game. If any wetland is determined by the Department of Fish and Game to be severely degraded pursuant to Sections 30233 and 30411 of the California Coastal Act, or if it is less than one (1) acre in size, other restoration options may be undertaken, pursuant to the Coastal Commission's "Statewide Interpretive Guidelines for Wetlands and other Wet Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas." Conservation easements, dedications or other similar mechanisms shall be required over all wetland areas as a condition of development, to assure permanent protection. Public vehicular traffic shall be prohibited in wetland areas governed by a conservation easement. Specific drainage and erosion control requirements shall be incorporated into the project design to ensure that wetland areas are not adversely affected. No further subdivision of any parcel shall be permitted which would have the effect of dividing off environmentally sensitive habitat from other portions of such parcels for which urban uses are permitted in the City's Coastal Element until such time as the permanent protection of any wetland is assured. Within areas identified as wetlands in the coastal zone, the uses of the Coastal Conservation District shall supersede the uses of the FP 1 and FP2 district.

FALLON, Community Development Director - SUBJECT: CODE AMENDMENT NO. 92-5/DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN REWRITE "VILLAGE CONCEPT" AND PARKING MASTER PLAN Statement of Issue,Funding Source,Recommended Action,Alternative Action,Analysis,Environmental Status,Attachment( Statement of Issue: Transmitted for y6 onsideratlon is Code Amendment No. 92-5 the Downtown Specific plan rewrite commonly referred to as the "Village Concept" and Parking Master Plan. The City Council approved Ordinance No. 3239 for the subject entitlement on October 3, 1994. On November 7, 1994, the City Council approved Resolution No. 6646, which forwarded Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) No. 3-94 to the California Coastal Commission (CCC). LCPA No. 3-94 includes Code Amendment No. 92-5, the revisions to the Downtown Specific Plan "Village Concept" and Parking Master Plan. The CCC, at their public hearing on March 9, 1995, unanimously approved LCPA No. 3-94 with suggested modifications. The recommended modifications by the CCC require a new ordinance reflecting the. CCC's actions. Funding Source: Not applicable Recommended Action: Motion to : "Approve Code Amendment No. 92-5, the Downtown Specific Plan rewrite and Downtown Parking Master Plan incorporating the suggested modifications recommended by the California Coastal Commission based upon the findings outlined in Attachment No. 1 by adopting Ordinance No. 32,g0 . Alternative Action(s): The City Council may take the following alternative action: Deny Code Amendment No. 92-5 with findings. A consequence of this action will void the California Coastal Commission's approval of Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 3- 94. I RL-QUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTIGA MEETING DATE: 04/17/95 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CD 95-017 Analysis: The CCC approved the Downtown Specific Plan and Downtown Parking Master Plan with suggested modifications. These modifications require the preparation of a new ordinance. Staff has prepared a matrix of the suggested modifications, a new legislative draft ordinance and a new ordinance for consideration by the City Council. Please see Attachment Nos. 3 - 5. Staff believes that the majority of the suggested modifications are technical in nature and are suggested to correct minor errors and/or omissions for clarity. The following modifications are noted by staff: Downtown Specific Plan: The suggested modifications to the specific plan include corrections which are not considered by staff to change the implementation of the Village Concept. The corrections include, rewording of definitions, correcting street names, rewording introductory paragraphs, clarifying the requirement for residential parking, correcting titles and correcting two (2) district maps to be consistent with the Coastal Element and Land Use Element (District 10 & 11). The substantive changes are noted as follows: Affordable Housing (Section 4.2.30): The CCC has recommended the deletion of a provision for guest parking to be provided on street or in a parking facility. Outdoor Dining (Section 4.2.33): The CCC has recommended that outdoor dining be prohibited in mini parks, public plazas and beach areas. The CCC also reorganized the factors to be considered and necessary findings for the approval of outdoor dining. Downtown Parking Master Plan (Section 4.2.14): Downtown Parking Validation: The CCC has recommended that any changes to the Downtown parking validation program be submitted to the Executive Director for review. The added provision is recommended by the CCC to ensure that parking which is owned and controlled by the city in the Downtown area is encouraged for use by the patrons and employees of the Downtown. The continued use of incentives such as validated parking for the city owned parking structure are encouraged to provide for it's continued use. The concern expressed by the CCC is that visitors to the commercial activity in the Downtown area do not impact beach goer parking. Annual Review and Monitoring Report: The CCC has recommended that six items be included in the city's annual report, and that the report be submitted to the Executive Director of the CCC for review. The items to be included are; 1) amount and type of development approved during the annual review period, 2) total square footage in the Downtown area, 3) inventory of existing parking, 4) a parking utilization study, and 5) a determination of whether adequate parking remains to serve development allowed up to the development cap. CD95-017.DOC -2- 03/29/95 9:49 AM r RL-.IUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTIUA MEETING DATE: 04/17/95 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CD 95-017 Development Thresholds: The CCC has recommended standard code required parking be provided for all new development if the monitoring report indicates the development threshold has been exceeded. Standard code required parking would be implemented until new parking has been approved and constructed or it can be demonstrated that there is still an adequate supply of parking available to serve the Downtown visitors. The recommended change also permits the city to shift square footage between categories (restaurant, retail, office, and miscellaneous) as long as the total (500,000 sq. ft.) is not exceeded. The final recommendation is that the Downtown Parking Master Plan document approved by the Planning Commission (July 7, 1993) be used as the base document for the square footage analysis within the Downtown area. The document contains all the background information which provided the basis for the preparation of the Downtown Parking Master Plan. Staff recommends the City Council approve Code Amendment No. 92-5 as modified by the CCC because the modifications: 1) will provide internal consistency with the Implementation Plan (DTSP) changes and are consistent with the Chapter Three policies of the Coastal Act; 2) are necessary to carry out the standards and policies of the certified Land Use Plan; and 3) are consistent with the city's General Plan. Environmental Status: Code Amendment No. 92-5 is covered by Environmental Impact Report No. 82-2 adopted by City Council Resolution No. 5284 on July 18, 1983.

OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK COWINjig 2RQCKWAV STATEMENT FOR THE MAYOR AT THE ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING OF THE HUNTINGTON BEACH CITY COUNCIL HELD ON 4/6/94. Mayor's Announcement: Regarding Agenda Item D-1 from the 4/4/94 Regular Meeting of the Council. Agenda item D-1 Public Hearing on code amendment no 92-5 downtown specific plan code amendment Village Concept and Downtown Parking Master Plan. Public input was received from six persons all of those persons wishing to speak were heard. The Mayor and City Council believed the Public Hearing was closed formally. A careful review of the Council Meeting tape however, does not reveal an articulated "formal closure" of the public hearing. Therefore, on advice of the City Attorney to correct the record and afford those listeners who might have thought the Public Hearing remained open, a chance to speak. I recommend the following: 1- Council should vote to reopen the Public Hearing at this continued regular meeting. - - 2. Council should allow those members of the public who have not had an opportunity to address the issues, to speak.' Motion to reopen the Public Hearing on Agenda Item D-1 from the 4/4/94 City Council Meeting Take Vote Then Comment: I wish to inform the public that only straw votes on each sub issue of Agenda.Item D-1 will be taken tonight and a formal ordinance incorporating all of the issues approved by straw vote will be brought back before the City Council May 16, 1994 at another public hearing where more public input may be taken on this issue before final adoption of the ordinance.

The questions raised by Mark Porter on district 8-11 were answered by staff orally last night afid in your staff report. (i.e. pages .71 in your D-1 packets).

We have been following the proposed amendments to the core area of the Downtown Specific Plan over the past 18 months and generally supported the amended Plan as approved by the Planning Commission in July, 1993. In October, 1993 we engaged the world-renowned firm of B3 Architects and Planners to prepare a series of conceptual development plans for this key property to be presented to the City Staff, Planning Commission and City Council. On April 26, 1994, we were invited by your Economic Development staff to discuss our plans for the property and made a presentation of the plans and concepts developed by B3. Neither we nor your staff were advised or aware of any proposed changes to the zoning on this property. We have only recently discovered that significant new changes have been proposed in Districts 7 and 8; areas not previously reviewed by the Planning Commission. Upon review of the most recent staff report, it appears that a subcommittee of the City Council is proposing the following additional amendments to the Downtown Specific Plan Districts 7 and 8: District Section Proposed Amendment 7 4.9.04 Reduce the maximum building height from eight stories to four stories. 7 4.9.09 Add a requirement for additional building setbacks above the second story. 7 4.9.10 Add a requirement that a minimum of 15 percent of the property be set aside for public open space. ` it 8 4.10.01 Add a public transportation center as a permitted use. 8 4.10.03 Reduce the maximum allowable density from 35 units per gross acre to 30 units per net acre. 8 4.10.04 Reduce the maximum building height from 50 feet to four stories, or 40 feet, based on the new definition of building height in Section 4.2.04 (a). We are disturbed by and strongly oppose these changes to the Specific Plan for the following reasons: 1. The proposed changes were not considered by the Planning Commission as part of their comprehensive review of the Plan. There has been no public testimony regarding the reasons or need for any changes to be made to the districts south of First Street. 2. These changes severely limit the potential to develop revenue-producing visitor serving commercial uses on the property. This property is physically separated from the Downtown core and is not as severely constrained in its configuration and relationship to local streets that height limits and setback requirements appropriate for Districts 5 and 6 along Main Street are appropriate in District 7. District 7 already requires significant setbacks from Pacific Coast Highway (50 feet) and other surrounding streets (20 feet). The proposed requirement for additional upper story setbacks serves no useful planning purpose and only constrains visitor-serving uses. District 7 is similar in its orientation to the ocean to adjacent District 9, the City-owned property, which has no height limit and is the location of the existing 14-story Waterfront Hilton Resort. We believe that the existing eight-story height limit in District 7 is appropriate as a transition between taller buildings to the south and four- story buildings to the north in District 3, and in consideration of the existing larger setbacks and open space requirements and allowable floor area ratio for buildings. Although there is no existing requirement for the amount of public open space provided within District 7, we are not opposed to the proposed 15 percent requirement so long as it is understood that the 15 percent may be distributed throughout the site, and may include required setback areas. 3. In District 8, we strongly oppose all three proposed new limitations on the use and development of this property. The proposed lowering of density from 35 units per acre to 30 units per acre, when combined with the revision from gross site area to net site area, will result in downzoning the property from approximately 700 units to approximately 500 units, or nearly 30 percent. The additional proposed reduction in building height from fifty feet to forty feet will result in less flexibility to design higher quality residential units incorporating higher ceilings and volume spaces demanded by1oday's market. The combined effect of all these changes is to significantly limit the number and quality of new homes that can be developed, which in turn will significantly reduce the value of the property, the potential property tax revenues for City services, future tax increment available to reinvest in the Main Pier Redevelopment Project Area and the number of new residents to support Downtown businesses. Further,we are not aware that any fiscal impact analysis has been performed to address the impacts of the suggested amendments. 4. The proposed addition of a public transportation center as a "permitted" use in District 8 is not only incompatible with the property's residential zoning, but, we feel, is intended by the City Council subcommittee to be a "required" use, since such a use is not permitted in any other district of the Downtown Specific Plan. The restriction of this "permitted" public use to private property within District 8 is tantamount to a taking of private property. We hereby request that that the City Council continue any action to amend the zoning within Districts 7 and 8 until we have had an opportunity to jointly discuss these and other issues related to this property, including the status of Walnut Avenue and the need for oil production and mobile home overlays to remain on this site. We have no objection to the proposed code amendment as it affects other districts of the Downtown Specific Plan. Sincerely, Brian tJ. hally Vice President cc: City Council Mike Uberuaga Connie Brockway Barbara Kaiser Melanie Fallon Jim Rippy COMMENTS TO CHANGES IN THE DOWNTOWN PARKING PLAN Page 9: ONLY THE PUBLIC PARKING SPACES SHOULD BE COUNTED IN THE DOWNTOWN PARKING SUPPLY. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THAT DOWNTOWN CONSTRUCTION WILL CONTINUE TO GO FORWARD. EXSISTING ON-SITE PRIVATE PARKING IS JUST THAT, IT IS "PRIVATE PARKING" AND IS NOT OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, Page 19: THE DOWNTOWN IS THE DOWNTOWN AND THERE SHOULD BE NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AREA NORTH OF ORANGE AND THE AREA SOUTH OF ORANGE WITH REGARD TO THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

Also, with the advent of environment friendly light-gage steel framing, ceiling to floor thicknesses have increased to minimize penetrations through structural members above the ceilings or below the floors of units. I suggest the heights be modified to the following standard for districts 3, 4,5,6,7,8, 9 and 10. Commercial Residential 2 story 30 feet 30 feet 3 story 44 feet 40 feet 4 story 54 feet 50 feet District 4 Man: As shown on the marked page ".46", the map is incorrect. The shaded portion fronting on first Street is part of District 5. The unshaded portion fronting 2nd street is what should be shaded. • Mayor, City Council & City Administration Page 2 Re: RCA 6/6/94 District 6• This district is being treated unfairly regarding parking and density. I recommend as follows: Parking: The same requirements and numbers developed for Area 1 should be used for Area 2 a.k.a. District 6. The sophistry of the arguments offered for the difference between the two areas is clever and well rationalized. However, clear reasoning sees no difference. Density: Reduction of density, particularly residential from 35 units per gross acre to 25 units per net acre is a clear deprivation of the property owners of property value. However, from the public good viewpoint, reduction of density removes the opportunity to create mid-level cost units, the only choice is to create luxury units, which due to the location and the market conditions will not happen in the near foreseeable future. Thus the property owners have no incentive to improve their land and will therefore leave it as it is. To promote keeping the property as it is will be of no benefit to the public (the City of HB), both visually and economically. I recommend that the parking in District 6 be amended by the deletion of Area 2 and that the Area 1 definitions cover all of the Downtown. I recommend that the density of District 6 be amended to 44 DU per net acre and in no event should it be less than the density allowed Town Square across the street. This is not a lot. For example, Pier Colony is 130 units on less than 2 acres or say 66 DU per net acre, 44 DU's per net acre is but 67% of this number. These are simple changes and should not require another hearing for the entire document. Other Matters: Thank you for including language which gives clear protection to the projects that we have all worked on for so long, but are still subject to further contingencies of these proceedings.

As mentioned in that letter, we had been following the progress of Code Amendment 92-5 for the past 18 months. During this period the focus was on Districts 1 - 6 and, therefore, we had no reason to anticipate that significant changes would be proposed for Districts 7 and 8a which are comprised of our property. Within the past year we have been working with Barry Berkus, a renowned architect and land planner with excellent contacts and a world-wide reputation for creativity and success. Mr. Berkus has helped us to develop mixed use concepts for our property and identify potential users. (We have also asked Mr. Berkus to review the proposed changes to Code Amendment No. 92-5, and have enclosed his letter of June 29, 1994, which we believe contains valuable comments and insights.) We have also met with City Staff to obtain their ideas and desires for the property. We share the City's goal to: 1) identify quality visitor-serving uses for the site that will contribute both property tax and sales tax revenue to the city, as well as property tax increment to invest in the Main-Pier Redevelopment Area, and 2) ensure quality residential development that will attract new residents who will support and enhance the viability of downtown businesses on a year round basis. In order to attract users that will meet these goals, we feel it is critical that new and more restrictive planning constraints not be added to the property at this time. Furthermore, if more flexibility (as outlined below) can be built into the Specific Plan covering these districts, while still maintaining the same requirement for overall site plan approval as exists now, we stand a better chance of meeting our mutual goals. l D - 1 Mayor Linda Moulton-Patterson June 29, 1994 Page 2 If the council wishes to give consideration to significant zoning issues within Districts 7 and 8a as part of this Code Amendment, HBCo would like the same opportunity to do that which was afforded property owners in Districts 1 - 6, specifically, we would like the opportunity to discuss and pursue the following changes to Districts 7 and 8a with staff, the Planning Commission and the City Council: 1. Combination of Districts 7 and 8a into one district to allow greater flexibility in site planning for a mix of uses. 2. Establishment of a maximum number of residential units or commercial square footage rather than setting a maximum density or F.A.R. 3. Expansion of permitted uses to include timeshare. 4. Modify the Oil Production overlay zoning to make it a permitted use with flexible siting rather than a required use.. 5. Elimination of the Mobile Home overlay zoning in District 7. 6. Elimination of the Pacific Electric ROW public access corridor requirement through Districts 7 and 8a. In summary, we feel that it is critical, at a minimum, to strike the six changes in Code Amendment 92-5 affecting Districts 7 and 8a to which we have objected in our letter of June 3, 1994. Further, we would welcome the opportunity to work with the City on a collaborative basis to review the existing Specific Plan status of this property, the suggested changes we have outlined above, or consider other suggestions to help move towards our common goals for this property. We would be happy to further focus on Districts 7 and 8a now, as part of Code Amendment 92-5, or later as a follow-up project, whichever is preferable to the City. Sincerely, Brian J.

Rippy, Senior Project Manager Huntington Beach Company 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 250 Newport Beach, CA 92660-7912 Re: Huntington Beach Specific Plan Proposed Code Amendments to Districts 7&8 Dear Jun: I am writing regarding the proposed revisions to the Downtown Specific Plan Amendments. In particular, we are concerned with the proposed reduction in building bight from eight to four stories in District 7. The three development alternatives shown in our report dated December 1993 depict an additional hotel at the intersection of Huntington Street and Pacific Coast Highway. The hotel is envisioned as a eight-story building that will complement the existing fourteen-story Hilton Hotel across the street and reinforce the visual gateway to downtown Huntington Beach. The transition between the fourteen-story Hilton Hotel and the four-story buildings in District 3 and 4 will be accomplished through a series of visitor serving buildings of varying heights punctuated at rnid-block by a open space/water feature. Our concept proposes a dynamic street facade of varying building heights rather than an arbitrary,uniform,consistent standard. Regarding the need for additional setbacks above the second floor: as writtm the existing setbacks in District 7 provide for a 50-foot setback from Pacific Coast Highway and a 20-foot setback from First Avenue and the proposed Walnut extension. The requirement for additional setbacks above the second floor should be judged in the context of a specific design proposal and its floor-area- ratio and building height. Additional Specific Plan setback requirements serve no other purpose at this time than limiting buildable area. With respect to the fifteen-percent open space requirement: presently,the Downtown Specific Plan calls far the dedication of a twenty-foot public access corridor between Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. The Specific Plan also raises the possibility that a public open space amenity may be required to assure that proposed uses are predominately visitor serving. All of the site plans and sketches shown in our report depict major open space features at the center of both Districts 7 & 8. We prefer to discuss the amount of public open space through the design review process rather than have it regulated by the Specific Plan. With disagree with the proposed location of a Public Transportation Center on District 8a property. We feel that a transportation center is incompatible with the intended high diansity residential use in District 8. However,we do feel that bus drop-off zones and shelters arc appropriate to include as a requirement for this District. 223 E De la Guerra Street Santa Barbara, Caftmia USA 93101 .2248 Ck tf e_'V /* Facsimile 805.966.1549 /�— - Owe"A .CA, wf Y Regarding the reduction in density from 35 units-per-gross-acre to 30 units-per-net-acre. The Specific Plan Amendments proposed in August 1993 suggested redefining the density calculation from units per gross acre to units per net acre. This revision would significantly reduce overall unit count. The curTeat proposed revision to limit density to 30 units per net acre will eliminate approximately 200 units from what was allowed in the original Downtown Specific Plan. One of the original Specific Plan Goals for this District was to provide a sufficient population base to help support the commercial and office uses in the Downtown area. The proposed down-zoning will deny downtown the permanent residents it needs to be financially stable. The reduction in building height from 50-fect to 40-feet will make it Nearly impossible to construct 4-story buildings. At densities of 30 units per acre,the parking needs to be located beneath the structure. Parking structures should be partially buried in order to minimize construction costs, avoid mechanical ventilation and provide natural lighting. A half-buried parking structure and four floors of building with a flat roof requires approximately 45-feet. Flat roofs limit architectural expression and may not be desirable in Huntington Beach. Therefore,a 50-foot maximum building height is reasonable and consistent with the regulations of other municipalities. In conclusion,we believe that the proposed Huntington Beach Specific Plan amendments are not in the best interest of the community or the Huntington Beach Company and wr would ask City Council to postpone action on these amendments until you have had the opportunity to discuss with Council in more detail.

At the June 6, 1994 meeting, the City Council continued the code amendment to allow staff the opportunity to identify the substantial modifications made to the specific plan. The modifications are based upon City Council direction and action at their April 6, 1994 meeting. The modifications made by the Council, which the Planning Commission had not previously considered, may require subsequent Planning Commission review and recommendation. The City Council continued the public hearing open to the meeting of July 5, 1994. RECOMMENDATION: Motion to: "Refer Code Amendment No. 92-5 back to the Planning Commission for their review and recommendation of the substantial modifications identified by the City Council and return for final consideration." ANALYSIS: At the City Council meeting of June 6, 1994, the City Attorney's Office presented a memorandum that identified Government Code Sections 65356 and 65453 (Attachment No. 1) which state in part "any substantial modification proposed by the legislative body not previously considered by the Planning Commission during it's hearings, shall first be referred to the Planning Commission for it's recommendation." Also, a letter submitted by the Huntington Beach Company (Attachment No 2) dated June 3, 1994, expressed concerns that the City Council made significant new changes to property owned by the Huntington Beach Company in District Nos. 7 and 8 of the Downtown Specific Plan without prior Planning Commission review and recommendation. Based upon these two transmittals, the City Council continued the public hearing open and directed staff to identify the substantial modifications for their review and consideration. I Substantial Modifications In reviewing the letter submitted by the Huntington Beach Company, they point to the fact that changes have been made to District's 7 and 8 by the City Council which have not been previously reviewed by the Planning Commission. The changes are as outlined below: DISTRICT SECTION PROPOSED AMENDMENT #7 4.9.04 Reduce max. bldg. height from 8 to 4 #7 4.9.09 Add upper story setback requirement #7 4.9.10 Add 15% open space requirement #8 4.10.01 Add Public Transportation Center #8 4.10.03 Reduce density from 35 to 30 un/gac #8 4.10.04 Reduce bldg. ht. from 50 to 40 feet The changes made to the specific plan in District's 7 and 8 are as a result of discussions at the Downtown Subcommittee meetings and voted upon by the entire City Council. The subcommittee felt that the entire specific plan should be reviewed for overall consistency in applicable development standards and clarity . The original direction given to staff when the "Village Concept" was formulated, was to review only District's 1-6; focusing on the Downtown Core area. The Planning Commission and staff followed that direction and made modifications to the specific plan accordingly. Issues such as density, building height, open space, setbacks , and permitted uses were discussed throughout the specific plan. However, only modifications to the permitted uses list in each district and format changes to the entire specific plan were made by the Planning Commission. No substantial modifications to the development standards in District's 7-11 were made. Conclusion In reviewing the abovementioned issues and the Planning Commission's actions, staff believes that two issues are substantial and should be referred back to the Planning Commission for their consideration and recommendation. The issues are reducing the building height from eight (8) to four (4) stories in District 7 and including as a permitted use a Public Transportation Center in District 8. Staff believes that the remaining issues were discussed but not recommended to be changed by the Planning Commission.

We have been following the proposed amendments to the core area of the Downtown Specific Plan over the past 18 months and generally supported the amended Plan as approved by the Planning Commission in July, 1993. In October, 1993 we engaged the world-renowned firm of B3 Architects and Planners to prepare a series of conceptual development plans for this key property to be presented to the City Staff, Planning Commission and City Council. On April 26, 1994, we were invited by your Economic Development staff to discuss our plans for the property and made a presentation of the plans and concepts developed by B3. Neither we nor your staff were advised or aware of any proposed changes to the zoning on this property. We have only recently discovered that significant new changes have been proposed in Districts 7 and 8; areas not previously reviewed by the Planning Commission. Upon review of the most recent staff report, it appears that a subcommittee of the City Council is proposing the following additional amendments to the Downtown Specific Plan Districts 7 and 8: District Section Proposed Amendment 7 4.9.04 Reduce the maximum building height from eight stories to four stories. 7 4.9.09 Add a requirement for additional building setbacks above the second story. 7 4.9.10 Add a requirement that a minimum of 15 percent of the property be set aside for public open space. 8 4.10.01 Add a public transportation center as a permitted use. 8 4.10.03 Reduce the maximum allowable density from 35 units per gross acre to 30 units per net acre. 8 4.10.04 Reduce the maximum building height from 50 feet to four stories, or 40 feet, based on the new definition of building height in Section 4.2.04 (a). We are disturbed by and strongly oppose these changes to the Specific Plan for the following reasons: 1. The proposed changes were not considered by the Planning Commission as part of their comprehensive review of the Plan. There has been no public testimony regarding the reasons or need for any changes to be made to the districts south of First Street. 2. These changes severely limit the potential to develop revenue-producing visitor serving commercial uses on the property. This property is physically separated from the Downtown core and is not as severely constrained in its configuration and relationship to local streets that height limits and setback requirements appropriate for Districts 5 and 6 along Main Street are appropriate in District 7. District 7 already requires significant setbacks from Pacific Coast Highway (50 feet) and other surrounding streets (20 feet). The proposed requirement for additional upper story setbacks serves no useful planning purpose and only constrains visitor-serving uses. District 7 is similar in its orientation to the ocean to adjacent District 9, the City-owned property, which has no height limit and is the location of the existing 14-story Waterfront Hilton Resort. We believe that the existing eight-story height limit in District 7 is appropriate as a transition between taller buildings to the south and four- story buildings to the north in District 3, and in consideration of the existing larger setbacks and open space requirements and allowable floor area ratio for buildings. Although there is no existing requirement for the amount of public open space provided within District 7,we are not opposed to the proposed 15 percent requirement so long as it is understood that the 15 percent may be distributed throughout the site, and may include required setback areas. 3. In District 8, we strongly oppose all three proposed new limitations on the use and development of this property. The proposed lowering of density from 35 units per acre to 30 units per acre, when combined with the revision from gross site area to net site area, will result in downzoning the property from approximately 700 units to approximately 500 units, or nearly 30 percent. The additional proposed reduction in building height from fifty feet to forty feet will result in less flexibility to design higher quality residential units incorporating higher ceilings and volume spaces demanded by today's market. The combined effect of all these changes is to significantly limit the number and quality of new homes that can be developed, which in turn will significantly reduce the value of the property, the potential property tax revenues for City services, future tax increment available to reinvest in the Main Pier Redevelopment Project Area and the number of new residents to support Downtown businesses. Further, we are not aware that any fiscal impact analysis has been performed to address the impacts of the suggested amendments. 4. The proposed addition of a public transportation center as a "permitted" use in District 8 is not only incompatible with the property's residential zoning, but, we feel, is intended by the City Council subcommittee to be a "required" use, since such a use is not permitted in any other district of the Downtown Specific Plan. The restriction of this "permitted" public use to private property within District 8 is tantamount to a taking of private property. We hereby request that that the City Council continue any action to amend the zoning within Districts 7 and 8 until we have had an opportunity to jointly discuss these and other issues related to this property, including the status of Walnut Avenue and the need for oil production and mobile home overlays to remain on this site. We have no objection to the proposed code amendment as it affects other districts of the Downtown Specific Plan.

The City Council has held six (6) meetings to discuss the details of the specific plan and parking master plan. At the April 6, 1994 meeting, the Council took straw votes on the issues and directed staff to return with a final draft and ordinance for their review and consideration. The City Council continued Code Amendment No. 92-5 to the meeting of June 6, 1994. RECOMMENDATION: Motion to: "Approve Code Amendment No. 92-5, the Downtown Specific Plan rewrite and Downtown Parking Master Plan based upon the findings outlined in Attachment No. 1 by adopting Ordinance No. 3 a Q . ANALYSIS: At the City Council meeting of April 6, 1994, the City Council opened the public hearing, received public testimony, took straw votes on all the issues, and directed staff to do the following; 1) incorporate all the straw votes into a revised draft Downtown Specific Plan and, 2) re-advertise the public hearing. The Council also directed staff to review the document for clarity, consistency in applicable development standards, and format for permitted uses and requirements for entitlement. Also, the applicable rules and regulations of the Downtown Parking Master Plan were incorporated into the specific plan. In addition, please note that the provisions of the proposed outdoor dining ordinance, which the City Council approved on May 4, 1994, have been included in the ordinance. The following is a brief topic discussion regarding the changes incorporated into the draft Downtown Specific Plan: Downtown Specific Plan: The draft Downtown Specific Plan has incorporated all the approved straw votes taken at the meeting of April 6, 1994. The straw votes included the six outstanding issues where consensus had not been reached (min. walking distance, alley widths, curb cuts, boundary changes, floor area ratio, upper story setbacks) and all the remaining issues that were included in the matrix attached to the RCA dated April 4, 1994. The Council then directed staff to further analyze the development standards in Districts No's. 7-11, develop appropriate floor area ratios, refine the language for special permits, augment the definition of public open space, and use the original building height definition with height measured in feet in all districts. Also, the Council directed staff to format the permitted uses and the uses that require entitlements for each district. Staff has reviewed the entire document for overall clarity, consistency, and format. Parking Master Plan: The development standards of the Downtown Parking Master Plan have been incorporated into the draft Downtown Specific Plan as part of the General Provisions (Section 4.2.14). The edited version of the parking plan includes a brief introduction of the shared parking concept, a discussion of the parking plan north and south of Orange Ave., development thresholds (restaurant, retail, office, and miscellaneous), a parking plan area map, required parking ratios, and implementation measures based upon entitlement. The ordinance does not include the background information, on and off site parking space inventory, etc. Discussions on the parking plan also addressed such issues as; 1) the management of the existing parking downtown, 2) development thresholds, 3) the Council's intent not to limit development, 4) maximizing all parking (beach) opportunities, 5) alternative parking locations, 6) interpretation of existing/proposed building square footage, uses and existing private parking, and 7) maintaining the option to purchase property in the Main-Pier Redevelopment Project Area. The discussion provided valuable policy direction and will be used to guide staff and the public regarding parking within the downtown area. The information, however, is not a "Development Standard" and should not be included in a zoning document such as the Downtown Specific Plan. Outdoor Dining: On May 4, 1994, the City Council approved the provisions to permit outdoor dining within the Downtown Specific Plan. The provisions have been incorporated into the draft Specific Plan under General Provisions (Section 4.2.32) and are referenced under each district's permitted uses. Coastal Status: The revisions to the Downtown Specific Plan will require an amendment to the city's adopted Local Coastal Program. The property located on Pacific Coast Highway between Sixth and Eight Streets will require an amendment to the Coastal Element. The amendment will bring the property into conformance with it's zoning which has been changed from residential to commercial. Prior to forwarding the Downtown Specific Plan to the California Coastal Commission, the City Council must first take action on the Coastal Element amendment. RCA 6/6/94 2 CD 94-33 Environmental Status: The revisions to the Downtown Specific Plan are covered by Final Environmental Impact Report No. 82-2 adopted by City Council Resolution No. 5284 on July 18, 1983. Conclusion After extensive public hearings, meetings with staff, the public, and the Downtown Subcommittee, the Council has reached conclusions regarding the Downtown Parking Master Plan and Downtown Specific Plan. Based upon the aforementioned, staff believes that the draft Downtown Specific Plan as modified by the City Council will provide a document that is consistent with the goals and policies of the city's General Plan, and is consistent with the city's Coastal Element and the California Coastal Act. FUNDING SOURCE: Not applicable. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The Council may take one of the following actions: 1. Approve Code Amendment No. 92-5, as recommended by the Planning Commission and modified by the Downtown Subcommittee. or, 2. Direct the Downtown Subcommittee to hold additional meetings to finalize the outstanding issues, re-advertise the public hearing, and return to a date certain. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Shared parking in effect allows one (1) parking space to serve two (2) or more individual land uses without conflict. Shared parking relies on the variations in the peak parking demand for different uses. In other words, parking demands will fluctuate in relationship to the mix of uses by hour, day of week and season. The proper mix will create an interrelationship among different uses and activities which result in a reduction of the demand for parking. The Downtown core area is centered along the Main Street commercial corridor. This. commercial corridor divides into two (2) distinct areas, north and south of Orange. The area which encompasses the Downtown Parking Master Plan is as identified on the area map (Figure 4.1). Area 1 - The area south of Orange Avenue along Main Street provides the greatest amount-of public parking opportunities both-off-street and on-street. Area 1 will have the greatest number of visitor serving and seasonal commercial uses including year -round entertainment. This area will also have the greatest concentration of expanded commercial, restaurant and office uses, and therefore, the majority of the public parking, spaces should be provided in this area. Area 2 - The area north of Orange Avenue along Main Street provides limited amounts of public parking opportunities. This area is still part of the Downtown core. However, the commercial uses in Area 2 will cater more to the year round residents, therefore, additional on-street short term parking should be provided. This area will be a mixed use area with a significant amount of residential uses, therefore, the need for commercial and office parking has been reduced.

PAQF1�0,WT..WY- — — — (PAAASIMCDR) The Downtown Master Plan anticipates a total development scenario of approximately 450,000 to 500,000 square feet of commercial activity. The Master Plan has development thresholds of 100,000 square feet for restaurant, 250,000 square feet for retail, 100,000 square feet for office and 50,000 square feet for miscellaneous development. Area 1 will contain approximately 350,000 to 400,000 square feet with the remaining 50,000 to 100,000 square feet of activity occurring in Area 2. It shall be the responsibility of the Community Development Department to monitor the development square footage per use and parking spaces within the Downtown Parking Master Plan area. The location and type of parking resources available in the Downtown area recognizes that two different and distinct implementation approaches are necessary for each of the areas. The adjusted parking requirement was calculated for both Area 1 and Area 2 (Figure 4.2). Area 1 - In Area 1 the restaurant and retail parking requirement was reduced by thirty- four percent and twenty percent respectively. The office requirement by seventy-five percent. In addition, the theatre parking requirement was reduced from the existing code requirement of one (1) parking space for every third seat to one (1) parking space for every fifth seat. This reduction is based on surveys conducted by the theatre industry. These reductions recognize the time differential and captive market concepts. Expanding commercial activity in this area remains the focus of the Downtown Master Plan, however, no additional parking for new or expanded commercial, restaurant and office uses should be required. The majority of public parking opportunities currently exist in this area and the current parking supply exceeds the parking demand. This parking supply will continue to be adequate provided the total square footage of uses do not exceed the Master Plan projections. Area 2 - In Area 2 the retail and office requirement was reduced by fifty percent. This recognizes that the retail activity will be primarily convenience commercial catering to local residents on short term shopping trips. The office parking requirement reduction is based on the minimal number of office opportunities and the on-site parking. Restaurant uses were not given a reduction factor. Numerous conflicts are created between restaurant and residential uses, therefore, restaurants should be required to provide one hundred percent of their parking requirement on-site. The existing Downtown public parking facilities are not conveniently located for use in this area, thus, a combination of expanded on-street and on-site parking may be necessary for new_or expanded commercial uses. However, providing the commercial activity remains primarily service related commercial, the existing supply of on-street and on- site parking should be sufficient for anticipated uses. All future development projects must be carefully reviewed for parking concerns. The mix of commercial and residential activities can justify a parking reduction and additional parking may not be necessary if development does not exceed the Master Plan projections.

Require on-site parking for all projects one-half(1/2)block or greater in size. 2. Require that any parking in-lieu fees be full cost recovery based on the parking requirement for specific uses. However, allow that these fees be paid over an amortization period, with appropriate security provided by the applicant to guarantee payment.. 3.

(DTWNSP2-1) 61 DowntoN n Master Plan Revised 5/94 OIL DISTRICT OVERLAY NIAP Figure 4.14 (DTWNSP2-1) 62 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 4.14 RESOURCE PRODUCTION OVERLAY Purpose. The Downtown Specific Plan area overlies long-productive 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 facilities by designating oil "suffix" zoning Districts in connection with an underlying base zone such as a commercial or residential District. Both oil facilities allowed by suffix and the other uses allowed 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 suffixes, 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 regulations in this overlay District facilitate continued oil recovery, but require all new facilities to be concentrated into a screened, soundproofed and landscaped expansion of the existing oil site and encourage the expeditious removal of existing wells from oil overlay "B". Boundaries. Oil overlay "A" includes an existing oil island located in District 42, between 19th and 18th streets from Pacific Coast Highway to the area is Walnut Avenue. Regulations. New wells and related facilities shall be permitted in accordance with the - _ 01 suffix and related provisions in the Huntington Beach Ordinance-Code provided, however, that the following additional.conditions are met: (a) Any new well must be part of a.secondary or other enhanced oil recovery project of used as a replacement of an existing well. (b) A_schedule for abandonment of all wells operated by the project proponent which _ are located within Bolsa-Chica State Beach shall be submitted to and approved by the Director of Development Services prior to the drilling of any new well. This schedule may be amended at the discretion of the Director of Development Services. (DTWNSP2-1) 63 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 (c) The project proponent shall agree to a memorandum of understanding with the City as a condition for approval, stating that no new wells shall be drilled by that company on Bolsa Chica State Beach (oil overlay "B") nor shall the existing wells be redrilled except, in such cases where: 1) the redrilled well will be produced by a "subsurface" or "down-hole" pump, only, or 2) the redrilled well will be produced by other new technology with fewer visual and environmental impacts than a conventional ball and plunger, pump, or 3) an intensified screening plan is approved the Director of Development Services which substantially improves the appearance of the area. (d) The operation site hall be screened by a wall, fence, or structure in keeping with the character of the area. The site shall also be landscaped so as to ensure visual compatibility with the surrounding area. A screening and landscaping plan must be submitted to and approved by the Director. All structures shall generally conform to the height limits and setback requirements of the base District. The Director may waive these restriction if it would result in better overall soundproofing, odor reduction and/or visual compatibility. 4.14.02 Oil Overlay "B" The regulations in this overlay facilitate continued oil recovery, wells may be redrilled if surface pumping units are replaced with a subsurface ones. Drilling of new wells may be permitted but only if the result is a significant reduction in the amount of space used for oil operations on the beach. Boundaries. Oil overlay "B" comprises a section of Bolsa Chica State Beach currently in oil production in District 411 between Goldenwest and 1 lth streets. Regulations. Wells may be redrilled in accordance with the -0 suffix in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code provided, however, that the following additional conditions are met: (a) The operator submits a report to the Department of Development Services explaining why there is no other feasible, environmentally less damaging inland site (such a report must be approved by the Director); or agrees to a memorandum of understanding with the City stating that the redrilled well will be produced by a subsurface or down-hole pump or other new technology with fewer visual and environmental impacts than a conventional ball and plunger pump. (b) A schedule for abandonment of all wells operated by the project proponent which are located within Bolsa Chica State Beach shall be submitted to and approved by the Director of Development Services prior to the drilling of any new well. This schedule may be amended at the discretion of the Director of Development Services. (c) All redrilling operations shall be limited-to a period from October 1 to May 31, -except for emergencies for which the Fire Chief may waive these seasonal restrictions, but shall require_soundproofing in accordance with Title 15 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code. (DTWNSP2-1) _ 64 Downtown Master Plan - Revised 5/94 New wells may be permitted if they are part of an overall consolidation plan which significantly reduces the area used for oil facilities or expedites the removal of existing oil facilities within the overlay area. A consolidation plan must be submitted to the Director of Development Services for approval before a permit for drilling any new well will be issued. All drilling operations must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the 01 suffix in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, 4.14.03 Oil Overlay "C" The regulations in the overlay facilitate continued oil recovery and provides for future oil production needs. Boundaries. Oil overlay "C" is an irregularly shaped site in District #8A between Lake Street and Huntington Avenue and Atlanta Avenue. Reizulations. Well drilling and redrilling shall be permitted in accordance with Title 15 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and with the 0 or 01 suffix and related provisions in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. A conceptual site plan for the entire overlay area must be submitted prior to permitting any project development or subdivision of land within the overlay. The plan shall include at least one (1) oil island of not less than two (2) acres in size for new oil well drilling and oil production. Such island(s) shall be incorporated into the overall development plan so that noise, odor and visual impacts on the residences are minimized, and safe access to the oil site(s) is provided. Findings that at least one such island so designed is incorporated into the plan shall be made by the Planning Commission before approving any development project. (DTWNSP2-1) 65 Downtown Master Plan Revised 5/94 4.15 CONSERVATION OVERLAY Purpose. The conservation overlay is intended to regulate those areas which have been preliminary identified as wetlands. Upon determination by the California Department of Fish and Game that an area is classified as a wetland the conditions of this overlay shall apply Boundary. The State Department of Fish and Game has identified an area within District 8B as containing .8 acres of existing wetland and 1.4 acres of restorable wetland. The 2.2 acre area is immediately adjacent to Beach Boulevard (see Figure 4.14). Regulations. Development shall be permitted only pursuant to an overall development plan for the entire overlay area and subject to the following: as a condition of any development on this parcel, topographic, vegetation, and soils information identifying the extent of any existing wetlands shall be submitted to the Director. The information shall be prepared by a qualified professional, and shall be subject to review by the California Department of Fish and Game. If any wetland is determined by the Department of Fish and Game to be severely degraded pursuant to Sections 30233 and 30411 of the California Coastal Act, or if it is less than one (1) acre in size, other restoration options may be undertaken, pursuant to the Coastal Commission's "Statewide Interpretive Guidelines for Wetlands and other Wet Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas." Conservation easements, dedications or other similar mechanisms shall be required over all wetland areas as a condition of development, to assure permanent protection. Public vehicular traffic shall be prohibited in wetland areas governed by a conservation easement. Specific drainage and erosion control requirements shall be incorporated into the project design to ensure that wetland areas are not adversely affected. No further subdivision of any parcel shall be permitted which would have the effect of dividing off environmentally sensitive habitat from other portions-of such parcels for which urban uses are permitted in the City's Coastal Element until such time as the permanent protection of any wetland is assured. Within areas identified as wetlands in the coastal_ zone, the uses of the Coastal Conservation District shall supersede the uses of the FP-1-and FP2 district.
