P.O. BOX 190 CALIFORNIA 92648
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Planning Commission
DATE: December 3 , 1975
ATTN: David D. Rowlands, City Administrator
RE: CODE AMENDMENT NO. 75-13 : "North Huntington Center
Specific Plan. "
Transmitted herewith is Code Amendment No. 75-13. This amendment
will implement a specific plan of development for property located
in the vicinity of Huntington Center. It will accomplish an amend-
ment of existing zoning designations relating to the property and .
provide regulatory provisions which will enable a mixture of land
uses, including, but not limited to residential and commercial uses ;'
in an integrated fashion.
The Planning Department staff was directed to pursue such a specific
plan as the result of City Council action on proposed Zone Change
74-20. This was a request for a change of zone from C4 to R4 on a portion
of the property, and a change from R1 to C4 on the remainder. The staff
therefore, pursued and completed an amendment to the Land Use Element
which would allow the processing of the desired specific plan.
The attached draft is the result of a series of meetings between the
various developers of the project and the necessary City staff members.
The Planning Commission at its study session of October 28 , 1975 dis-
cussed the proposed ordinance and indicated their concerns to the
planning staff. These concerns were addressed and the matter approved
by the Planning Commission at its meeting of November 18, 1975 , on a
motion by Commissioner Shea and seconded by Commissioner Bazil:
AYES: Bazil, Slates, Shea, Boyle
NOES: Parkinson, Finley, Kerins
ABSENT: None
The Commission minority expressed their concerns about the adequacy
of some of the provisions of the ordinance, in particular, those
standards dealing with the residential portion of the project.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS :
The Environmental Review Board at its meeting of October 23 , 1975 granted
the proposed specific plan Negative Declaration No. 75-68 , having found the
proposed project will not have a significant adverse effect upon the
physical environment. Subsequent to this action, an appeal was filed by
a
Page Two
the Environmental Council. Prior to final determination by the City
Council, the appeal was withdrawn as the result of discussions between
the Environmental Council, the project developers and the planning
staff. It was determined that the issues raised by the Environmental
Council could be adequately addressed at the time of actual development
permit processing. The Environmental Review: Board therefore recommends
that Negative Declaration No. 75-68 be approved by the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends approval of Code Amendment No.
75-13.
