PROJECT PROPOSAL: Applicant: Central Baptist Church, c/o Thom Doney, 7661 Warner Avenue, Huntington Beach, CA 92647 Location: 7661 Warner Avenue (northeast corner of Warner Avenue and Nichols Street.) Zoning Map Amendment No. 95-1 represents a request to rezone a 4.2 net acre site currently occupied by the Huntington Beach Central Baptist Church and Liberty Christian School from RMH (Residential Medium High Density) to PS (Public-Semipublic). The zone change was requested in conjunction with a master plan of development which was approved by the Planning Commission on February 11, 1997. The zoning map amendment will bring the zoning and "Public" (P) General Plan Land Use designation into conformance with one another. B. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: At the February 11, 1997 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant was the only person who testified during the public hearing. The Commission's discussion on the zoning map amendment addressed the consistency between the proposed zoning and existing General Plan Land Use designation of Public (P) on the church site. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the zoning map amendment with findings. CD97-21.DOC -2- 04/23/97 3:35 PM *QUEST FOR COUNCIL AC#N MEETING DATE: May 5, 1997 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CD 97-21 C. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: In 1994, the adoption of the new Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance created an inconsistency between public uses, such as churches and schools, that are located on residentially zoned properties more than two (2) acres in size and residential zoning regulations. In order to achieve consistency between zoning and the existing church/school land use, the subject site needs to be rezoned to the appropriate PS (Public, Semi-public) zoning designation. The rezoning of the subject property to PS will bring the zoning into conformance with the existing land use designation, with the exception of an existing classroom building located along the easterly property line. The two story building will become nonconforming as a result of the new PS zoning standards which restrict the height of structures (max. 18 feet) within 45 feet of residentially zoned properties. However, the building will eventually be removed during the construction of Phase III of the master plan of development. The building currently has a 22 foot setback from the east property line and is approximately 26 feet in height. The PS (Public, Semi-public) district establishes areas for large public or semi-public uses, such as governmental offices and public safety facilities, religious assembly buildings and public or private schools. The General Plan specifies goals and policies supporting amendments to maintain existing uses, while providing opportunities for intensification, and improvement in the character and identity of an area. Based on the continued church and school use on the 4.2 acre site, the eventual removal of two story classroom building, and the consistency between the zoning and the existing Public (P) General Plan Land Use designation, staff supports the proposed map amendment. Environmental Status: Staff has reviewed the environmental assessment and determined that no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposed zoning map amendment. Subsequently, Negative Declaration No. 95-4 (Attachment No. 6) was prepared pursuant to Section 240.04 of the HBZSO and the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Department of Community Development advertised draft Negative Declaration No. 95- 4 for twenty (20) days commencing on May 2, 1996 and ending on May 22, 1996. No comments, either verbal or written were received. Prior to any action on Zoning Map Amendment No. 95-1, it is necessary for the City Council to review and act on Negative Declaration No. 95-4.

The adoption of Zoning Map Amendment No. 95-1 will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. The zoning map amendment will result in consistency between the.General Plan Land Use designation and zoning classification. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL-TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 96-112: . 1. Tentative Parcel Map No. 96-112 for the consolidation of 156 encyclopedia lots into one parcel will be consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation of Public (P) on the subject property, and other applicable provisions of this Code. The consolidation of the 156 non conforming encyclopedia lots will bring the site into conformance with the minimum site standards specified in the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. 2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The church and school use conforms with the PS zoning designation and will comply with the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, except for the variances granted concurrently. 3. The design of the proposed improvements will not cause serious health problems or substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidable injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. No impacts to the environment is anticipated to occur as a result of the proposed development. 4. The design and type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property, unless alternative easements, for access or for use, will be provided. The proposed improvements will not impact the existing 15 foot wide storm drain easement located along the east property line. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 95-48: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 95-48 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the phased master plan of development for Central Baptist Church/Liberty Christian School will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. Due to the proposed site layout, including design and orientation of the proposed buildings, and the design of the parking lot and circulation on-site,the development of the master plan will not create a negative impact on the adjacent residential properties. 2. Conditional Use Permit No. 95-48 will be compatible with surrounding multifamily residential uses. The proposed buildings are situated toward the rear of the subject property adjacent to a flood control channel to the north and a parking area for an apartment complex to the east. PC Minutes-2/11/97 11 (97pcm211) 3. The proposed master plan of development will comply with the provisions of the base district which is and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located, except for the variances approved concurrently. 4. . The granting of the conditional use permit for the proposed master plan of development will . not adversely affect the General Plan. The expansion of the school use is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Public (P) on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: a. Achieve the development of a mix of governmental service, institutional, educational, and religious uses that support the needs of Huntington Beach residents. (Goal LU 13) b. Allow for the continuation of existing public and private institutional, cultural, educational, and health uses at their present locations and development of new uses in areas designated on the Land Use Plan Map. (Policy LU 13.1.1) FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL -VARIANCE NO. 95-12: 1. The granting of Variance No. 95-12 for a 20 foot side setback in lieu of a minimum 45 foot setback for a 40 foot high gymnasium and three (3) story classroom buildings adjacent to R (Residential) districts, for reduced parking(245 spaces in lieu of 271)and reduced landscaping (no streetside landscape planter in lieu of a six [6] foot wide planter along a 230 linear foot segment of Nichols Street), will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. The reduced building setback will allow for an efficient design layout of the site without impacting adjacent properties. No additional building encroachment will occur than what currently exists on the site. Furthermore, the site will provide approximately 19,500 square feet of lanscaping, almost double the code requirement. 2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including location and surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. The corner property is located adjacent to a flood control channel, and abuts a parking area for the adjacent apartment complex. In addition, a 15 foot wide storm drain easement extends along the entire length of the east property line restricting the location and design of the proposed development. 3. The granting of a variance for a reduced setback,reduced parking and landscaping, is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The location of the three story school building will allow for additional school classrooms and a gymnasium, necessary for the anticipated increase in enrollment. Furthermore, the omission of the landscape planter will allow for additional on-site parking spaces. PC Minutes-2/11/97 12 (97pcm211) i • • 4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property in the same zone classification and is consistent with the General Plan. With the conditions imposed, the reduced side setback,parking and landscaping will not have a negative impact on the adjacent properties or residents.

Tentative Parcel Map No. 96-112 is a request to consolidate 156 encyclopedia lots into one parcel pursuant to Section 250.14 of the ZSO. Conditional Use Permit No. 95-48 represents a request to approve a phased master plan of development on the site which includes the expansion of the existing church and school facilities with additional classroom buildings, a gymnasium and the reconfiguration of the parking and landscaping layout pursuant to Section 214.06 of the ZSO. A detailed project description is discussed below. The request also includes restriping for 45 compact parking spaces (18% of total) pursuant to Section 231.20 of the ZSO. Variance No. 95-12 is requested for the following: A. To permit a 20 foot side yard setback for the 40 foot high gymnasium and three story school buildings in lieu of minimum 45 feet. Section 214.08 (D) specifies that any structure exceeding 18 feet in height shall be setback a minimum of 45 feet from residential districts (East property line); B. To permit 245 on-site parking spaces in lieu of a minimum 271 required spaces (a reduction of 26 parking spaces) after Phase I of the master plan, and to permit 248 spaces (a reduction of 23 spaces) after Phases II and III of the master plan in lieu of the required 271 spaces pursuant to Section 231.04 of the ZSO; and C. To allow no streetside landscape planter for an approximate 230 foot segment along Nichols Street in lieu of a minimum six foot wide streetside planter pursuant to Section 232.12 of the ZSO. Project Description The master plan of development consists of the three (3) phases. Phase I construction is anticipated to proceed following final City approval. The timing on the subsequent phases are uncertain at this time, as the costs for constructing Phases II and III are contingent on the fundraising for the church and school. Phase Construction of a new 40 foot high, 8,000 square foot gymnasium, a new 40 foot high, 18,900 square foot three story classroom building, and the removal of two (2) existing modular classroom buildings totaling 5,280 square feet. The existing 813 seat sanctuary, a 5,100 square foot classroom building, and a 17,200 square foot classroom building will remain. In conjunction with Phase I construction, the applicant proposes to redesign the parking lot layout, which will include the installation of 45 compact spaces (18%)throughout the parking lot. In addition, the applicant proposes to relocate the northerly driveway further south to line up with the drive aisle immediately north of the church building (Attachment 3.2). PC Staff Report - 2/11/97 3 (97sr11) The gymnasium and three story classroom buildings will be constructed at the northeast corner of the site where open parking and a sand outdoor play area currently exist. The classrooms will be constructed on the south and west sides of the gymnasium, and will be oriented toward the parking lots (Attachment No. 3.2). The applicant indicates that the proposed master plan is necessary to maintain the overall enrollment of the school and to accommodate the anticipated increase in enrollment in grades 7-12. The applicant anticipates an increase in enrollment of up to 80 children upon the completion of Phase I. The hours of operation for all of the school uses are between 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday.through Friday; These uses include the pre-school (6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday), Liberty Christian School (8:00 AM and 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday), and the Liberty Christian School Day Care (6:30 AM-7:30 AM, and 3:00 PM-6:00 PM Monday through Friday). The church building is used for services on Sunday's between 10:00 AM and 12:00 noon, and again between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Meetings are also held on Wednesday evenings between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM. There are currently 271 parking spaces provided on the site, and 813 seats in the church assembly area. Because the church and school buildings will not used simultaneously, the number of seats in the church building will continue to determine the required number of parking spaces for the site based on the City's parking requirement. A requirement of 1 space per 3 fixed seats in the church assembly area requires 271 on-site parking spaces. The applicant requests a variance for reduced parking to provide 245 spaces upon the completion of Phase I and 248 spaces upon the completion of Phases II and III. The applicant indicates that there is ample parking for the site, even during Sunday morning church services which is the busiest time the parking lot is used. The applicant states that based on records kept over the past few years, an average of 83 spaces are left empty during Sunday morning church services, which relates to an average of 188 cars or 69% of the lot occupied on Sunday mornings. The applicant further indicates that the initial construction phase will result in the temporary loss of approximately 40 additional spaces, since the modular school buildings will remain until the new classrooms are made available. Once the classes are relocated into the new buildings, the additional parking will be provided in the area of the modular buildings and construction equipment and storage area. Phase 2• Construction of a new 40 foot high, 11,000 square foot three story classroom building, and removal of an existing 5,100 square foot classroom building. (Attachment No. 3.3). The Phase II construction consists of a southerly extension of the three story classroom building(Phase I),while maintaining a 20 foot setback from the east property line. The front of the classrooms would be oriented westerly toward the parking lot. Upon the completion of Phase II,the applicant anticipates an increase of approximately 100 students/children. PC Staff Report - 2/11/97 4 (97srl 1) 1 Phase 3: Construction of a new 40 foot high, 16,500 square foot three story classroom building, and removal of an existing 17,200 square foot, two story classroom building. (Attachment No. 3.4). Phase III consists of a similar extension of the three story classroom building further south,maintaining a 20 foot setback from the east property line. The applicant anticipates an increase of another 100 students following the completion of the master plan. ISUE : General Plan Conformance: The proposed zoning map amendment is consistent with the goals and objectives of the City's General Plan and the Land Use Element designation of Public (P) on the subject property which permits governmental administrative and related facilities, such as public utilities, schools, public parking lots, infrastructure, and religious uses. The zoning map amendment is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: 1. Accommodate the development of a balance of land uses that(a) provides for the housing, commercial, employment, educational, cultural, entertainment, and recreational needs of existing and future residents.... (LU 7.1) 2. Accommodate existing uses and new development in accordance with the Land Use and Density Schedules (LU 7.1.1) 3. Maintain the pattern of existing land uses while providing opportunities for the evolution, including intensification and re-use, of selected subareas in order to improve their character and identity (LU 8.1) In addition, the master plan of development is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: 1. Provide for the inclusion of recreational, institutional,religious, educational and service uses that support residents needs within residential neighborhoods. (LU 9.4) 2. Achieve the development of a mix of governmental service, institutional, educational, and religious uses that support the needs of Huntington Beach residents. (LU 13) 3. Allow for the continuation of existing public and private institutional, cultural, educational, and health uses at their present locations and development of new uses in areas designated on the Land Use Plan Map. (LU 13.1.1) PC Staff Report- 2/11/97 5 (97srl 1) Zoning Compliance: With the approval of the proposed zoning map amendment,the existing church and school uses will be located in a Public, Semi-public zone and will comply with the requirements of that zone, except for the variance requested items.

Subsequently,Negative Declaration No. 95-4 (Attachment No. 7) was prepared pursuant to Section 240.04 of the HBZSO and the provisions of the California Environment Quality Act(CEQA). The Department of Community Development advertised draft Negative Declaration No. 95-4 for twenty (20) days commencing on May 2, 1996 and ending on May 22, 1996. No comments, either verbal or written were received. PC Staff Report - 2/11/97 6 (97sr11) t Prior to any action on Zoning Map Amendment No. 95-1,Tentative Parcel Map No. 96-112, Conditional Use Permit No. 95-48, and Variance No. 96-12, it is necessary for the Planning Commission to review and act on Negative Declaration No. 95-4. Staff, in its initial study of the project, is recommending that the negative declaration be approved with findings. Coastal Status: Not applicable. Redevelopment Status: Not applicable. Design Review Board: The final design, including colors and materials,will require review and approval by the Design Review Board (DRB)prior to submittal for building permits pursuant to Section 214.10 of the ZSO. Subdivision Committee: Not applicable. Other Departments Concerns: The Departments of Public Works, Fire, and Police, and Building Division have recommended conditions which are incorporated into the conditions of approval. ANALYSIS: Zoning Map Amendment In 1994, the adoption of the new Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance created an inconsistency between public uses (churches, schools, etc.) that were located on residential properties with more than two (2) acres, and the residential zoning regulations. In order to achieve consistency between zoning and the existing church/school land use,the subject site should be rezoned to the appropriate PS (Public, Semi- public) zoning designation. The rezoning of the subject property to PS will bring the existing land use into conformance with the zoning designation, with the exception of an existing classroom building located along the easterly property line. The two story building will become nonconforming as a result of the new PS zoning provision restricting the height of structures within 45 feet of residentially zoned properties. However,the building will eventually be removed during the construction of Phase III. The building currently has a 22 foot setback from the east property line and is approximately 26 feet in height. The proposed zoning map amendment is also consistent with the existing Public (P) Land Use designation in the General Plan. The PS (Public, Semi-public) district establishes areas for large public or semi-public uses, such as governmental offices and public safety facilities, religious assembly buildings and public or private schools. The General Plan specifies goals and policies supporting amendments to maintain existing uses, while providing opportunities for intensification, and improvement in the character and identity of an area. Based on the continued church and school use on the 4.19 acre site, the eventual removal of the two story classroom building, and the consistency between the zoning and the existing Public (P) General Plan Land Use designation, staff supports the proposed map amendment. PC Staff Report- 2/11/97 7 (97srl 1) • Tentative Parcel Map The tentative parcel map is supported by staff because the existing non conforming lot sizes will be consolidated to comply with the minimum site standards of the PS district. Although all street improvements are in place, the applicant is required to dedicate a section of the cul-de-sac, and a single.lot located within the existing street right-of-way. No impacts are anticipated as a result of the lot consolidation. Conditional Use Permit/Variance There are three (3) primary issues involved with the proposed master plan: building setback,parking and landscaping. In addition, staff has reviewed issues of vehicular access and on-site circulation. Building Setback The proposed 20 foot setback in lieu of 45 feet along the easterly property line for the gym and school buildings will not impact the property or residents living in the apartment complex east of the subject property due to sufficient separation between the school buildings and the apartments. There is approximately 100 feet between the proposed school buildings and existing apartment units, including the 20 foot building setback on the subject property, a row of 20 foot deep carports along the apartment's west property line, an approximate 27 foot wide drive aisle, a second row of carports on the east side of the drive aisle, and a landscape and walkway area between the carports and the actual units. The physical separation and orientation of the school classrooms and the residential habitable area toward the east will minimize any impacts resulting from the reduced setback. Furthermore, the site is adjacent to a 75 foot wide flood control channel to the north,which will buffer the existing apartments to the north of the channel from the proposed gymnasium and school buildings. The 20 foot wide setback area, which includes the 15 foot wide storm drain easement,will continue to be used as outdoor play area. Staff supports the request for a reduced side yard setback based on the surrounding uses, and the location of the storm drain easement on the subject property. The location of the existing buildings and storm' drain easement, and the design of the existing parking lot layout and circulation pattern, restrict the design and location of the proposed gymnasium and classroom buildings on the site. By placing the new buildings at a 20 foot setback,the easement will remain accessible for maintenance purposes, while minimizing impacts to the apartment units and carports on the adjacent property. Parking Since the church assembly area is the most intense use conducted at any point in time, and because the school operates at off-set hours,the parking requirement for the site is determined by the church use. Upon the completion of Phase I, the site will provide 245 spaces, which is a 26 space shortfall. There will be three (3) additional spaces provided following the completion of Phases II and III, for an ultimate build out of 248 parking spaces on the site. The parking for 45 compact spaces (18%) throughout the lot will allow a greater number of parking stalls without impacting the structures, drive aisles or planting areas in the parking lot. Staff supports the request for compact spaces based on the location of the stalls in relation to the overall parking layout. PC Staff Report- 2/11/97 8 (97sr11) There will also be temporary loss in parking during the construction period of each phase. Staff acknowledges the potential impacts this may cause and recommends a condition that the applicant submit an interim parking and construction storage plan as well as a construction vehicle control plan for review and approval. This will assure that there would be adequate parking for the church and school, and will help alleviate any parking impacts to the adjacent residential streets during construction. Staff is unable to support the 26 space parking variance due to the lack of land related hardships associated with the church/school site. The lot is rectangular in shape and is over four acres in size. The proposed school buildings will occupy approximately 26,000 square feet of lot area, reducing the area which could potentially be used for parking. Staff believes that there are no unique circumstances to warrant the granting of a parking variance. Therefore, staff recommends that additional on-site parking be provided by reducing the size of the expansion, or that seats be removed from the church assembly area to conform with the actual number of parking spaces provided. With 245 parking spaces available, a total of 735 seats may be permitted in the church. This would require the removal of 78 seats from the church should the applicant choose this option. Landscaping Although the site will comply with the minimum landscaping requirement(6% of site), the lack of a minimum six(6) foot wide landscape planter on the segment of Nichols Street requires a variance. The . applicant believes that installing a new planter along that segment of Nichols Street will potentially lead to problems, including grocery carts and trash being left by street vendors and their patrons in front of the church. In addition, the applicant indicates that day-workers occasionally congregate on the sidewalk near the intersection waiting for employment. The applicant states in his narrative (Attachment No. 6)that the cost of installing a new planter will delay the project's schedule, and that the new planter will result in the reduction of four(4)to ten(10) parking spaces. Staff recommends the applicant install the required six foot wide street side planter during the construction of Phase II. The planter may be built on the inside of the existing fencing system, minimizing the concern over trash and loitering in the landscaped area. Staff does not support the variance request because there are no exceptional circumstances warranting the omission of the required landscape planter. Other similarly zoned properties require a minimum six(6) foot wide planter along all street frontages. Based on the four(4) acre lot size and the rectangular shape of the lot, staff feels the landscape planter will enhance the aesthetic appearance to both the intersection and the parking area. PC Staff Report- 2/11/97 9 (97sr11) . i Vehicular Access/On-Site Circulation Staff recommends the relocation of both proposed driveways to the subject property. The Department of Public Works Traffic Division recommends the south driveway be relocated further north to line up with the Washington Avenue intersection, minimizing traffic impacts caused by a"locking left"traffic situation. This situation is caused by an offset in an intersection to a degree that motorists, approaching an intersection while attempting to make left turns, are met"head on" due to the lack of an adequate left turn pocket. Staff feels that the newly aligned driveway will alleviate the impacts associated with the offsetting intersection, while providing an alternative route to Warner Avenue. In addition, the Traffic Division recommends that the northerly driveway, currently located at the end of the cul-de-sac, remain in its present location. The applicant's proposal to relocate the driveway further south to align with the drive aisle directly north of the church will increase the potential impacts to residences living directly across the street. The existing driveway is located directly across an alley and carports which does not impact the residents of the apartments. However, the relocation of the driveway, which would primarily be used for exiting the church site, would potentially increase the amount of noise and vehicle headlights into the living areas of the adjacent residents. Furthermore, the driveway would be situated closer to another alley located directly across the church building which will cause vehicle turning conflicts. SUMMARY: Staff recommends approval of Negative Declaration No. 95-4, Zoning Map Amendment No. 95-1, Tentative Parcel Map No. 96-112, Conditional Use Permit No. 95-48 and Variance No. 95-12, with the exception of the variance requests for reduced parking and landscaping, for the following reasons: The project will not be detrimental to the general health, welfare and safety to persons working or living in the area, nor detrimental to the value of the property or improvements in the area. • The proposed gym and school buildings will be compatible with the uses and structures on the adjacent property. • With the modifications suggested by staff, the master plan will provide sufficient parking and circulation for the church and school use. • The proposed zoning map amendment and master plan is consistent with the Public (P) Land Use designation of the General Plan • With the conditions imposed,the variance request for reduced side yard setback will not be materially detrimental to surrounding properties or residents.

GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: RHD (Residential High Density) (Note: The City is currently m the process of updating its General Plarz As part of the update,the City is proposing to amend the land use designations on sites which have been occupied by public facibbes such as churches-and are anticipated to continue to be occupied by these uses for the long-term The land use designation for subject site has hwh proposed to he amended to Public(with an underlying land use designation of Residential Medium High Density should the site recycle rn the future). The General Plan update is anticipated to be adopted rn May`96). 6. ZONING: Existing - RMH (Medium High Density Residential) Proposed - PS (Public-Semipublic) 7. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: To permit a phased master plan of development for the Central Baptist Church/Liberty Christian School site The master plan does not propose any modifications to the existing church structure The proposed modifications consist of the expansion of the existing school facilities with the removal of four (4) existing school buildings (totaling 30 classrooms and approximately 26,526 square feet) and the construction of a 45 foot high, 8000 square foot gymnasium,and three (3), 43 foot high,three story classroom buildings,totaling 46,400 square feet. • The request includes a variance to allow the gymnasium and school buildings to exceed the maximum 18 foot height limit for structures within 45 feet of residentially zoned property. The proposed buildings will be setback 20 feet from the easterly property which is currently zoned RMH. In addition, a variance to provide 247 parking spaces in lieu of 271 spaces is requested. The number of required parking spaces is based on the number of seats (813) in the sanctuary. The request also includes a zone change from RMH (Residential Medium High Density) to PS (Public-Semipublic) which will bring the zoning into conformance with the General Plan Land Use designation (proposed in the General Plan Update) and the religious assembly and school land use. Phasing The masterplan is proposed to be developed over three phases generally described below. It should be noted that, for environmental review purposes,the phasing plan assumes the maximum number of classrooms for the proposed square footage. This is assumed since classroom space is the most highly occupied space in the school facilities. However, in reality the actual number of classrooms may be less as space may be assigned to less intense school related facilities, such as computer rooms,libraries,and offices, as will be determined in the future by the school's needs.) Phase 1 : Phase 1 consists of removal of two existing classroom/office buildings (6 classrooms) and construction of a 45 foot tall, 8,000 square foot gymnasium with office, kitchen, storage and locker/restroom area and 15 classrooms for a net increase of 9 classrooms on site (for a total of 39 classrooms and approximately 50,700 square feet of building area) upon completion of phase 1. The first phase also proposes reconfiguration/restriping of the parking to provide a total of 247 parking stalls on-site. Phase 2: Phase 2 consists of removal of the existing Hall/Classroom building (4 classrooms) and construction of a maximum of 15 new classrooms within a new 43 foot tall,three-story classroom facility adjoining to the phase 1 structure, along the easterly boundary of the site. The second phase also proposes reconfiguration/restriping of parking to provide a total of 251 parking stalls. (Total classroom numbers and square footage upon completion of phase 2 will be 50 classrooms and approximately 58,800 square feet.) Phase 3: This is the final phase and consists of removal of the existing 2 story classroom facility (17 classrooms) along the easterly boundary of the site,and replacement with a new 43 foot tall, three-story classroom facility adjoining the phase 2 structure and accommodating a maximum of 18 classrooms. Phase 3 also proposes reconfiguration/restriping of parking to maintain a total of 251 parking stalls. (Total classroom numbers and square footage upon completion of phase 3 will be 51 classrooms and approximately 57,950 square feet.) OTHER AGENCIES WHOSE APPROVAL IS REQUIRED (AND PERMITS NEEDED): None. • • ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a"Potentially Significant Impact" or is"Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated," as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. ❑ Land Use &Planning ❑ Transportation/Circulation ❑ Public Services ❑ Population&Housing ❑ Biological Resources ❑ Utilities & Service Systems ❑ Geological Problems ❑ Energy&Mineral Resources ❑ Aesthetics ❑ Water ❑ Hazards ❑ Cultural Resources ❑ Air Quality ❑ Noise ❑ Recreation ❑ Mandatory Findings of Significance DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s)on the environment,but that at least one effect (1)has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and(2)has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a"potentially significant impact"or is "potentially significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. APRIL 25, 1996 Signature Date WAYNE CARVALHO ASSISTANT PLANNER Printed Name Title EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except"No Impact"answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A"No Impact"answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to the project. A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards. 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved. Answers should address off-site as well as on-site,cumulative as well as project-level,indirect as well as direct,and construction as well as operational impacts. 3. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate,if an effect is significant or potentially significant, or if the lead agency lacks information to make a finding of insignificance. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact"entries when the determination is made,preparation of an Environmental Impact Report is warranted. 4. Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigated"applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact"to a "Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures,and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII,"Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5. Earlier analyses may be used where,pursuant to the tiering,program EIR,or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section XVII at the end of the checklist. 6. References to information sources for potential impacts (e.g.,general plans,zoning ordinances) have been incorporated into the checklist. A source list has been provided in Section XVII. Other sources used or individuals contacted have been cited in the respective discussions. 7. The following checklist has been formatted after Appendix I of Chapter 3,Title 14,California Code of Regulations,but has been augmented to reflect the City of Huntington Beach's requirements. (Note:.Standard Conditions of Approval -The City imposes standard conditions of approval on projects which are considered to be components of or modifications to the project,some of these standard conditions also result in reducing or minimizing environmental impacts to a level of insignificance. However,because they are considered part of the project,they have not been identified as mitigation measures. For the readers' information,a list of applicable standard conditions identified in the discussions has been provided as Attachment No. 3.

(Sources: 3) e) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established El El 1E community(including a low-income or minority community)? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) Discussion: The project site is occupied by a church and school use which have been in operation on the property since 1970. The proposed project consists of a master plan to expand the educational facilities,as detailed in the project description. No modifications to the existing Church structure are proposed. The existing General Plan land use designation and zoning for the property are Residential High Density and RMH (Residential Medium-High Density),respectively,and are inconsistent. The City is currently in the process of adopting a comprehensive update of its General Plan;as part of the update,the City is proposing to amend the land use on the subject property to P-(RMH-25). This General Plan land use designation recognizes the existing"public use"on the site,but maintains an underlying Residential Medium-High Density land use designation, so that the site can be developed similarly to surrounding residential developments, should the site recycle in the future. (Adoption of the land use amendment is anticipated to be adopted in May 1996.) The project also proposes a zone change to amend the zoning on the property to PS(Public-Semi-Public). The PS zoning designation is appropriate for public facilities(such as churches and schools)which occupy more than 2 acres. The PS zoning would bring the property into consistency with the existing Church/School use and with the proposed General Plan designation. The proposed master plan is in compliance with the development standards of the PS zoning designation with the exception of the requested variances to exceed the maximum 18 foot height limit for structures within 45 feet of residentially zoned property,and reduced parking. The proposed structures will be setback 20 feet from the adjacent residential property to the east. The project area is completely developed. The subject site is surrounded by multi-family residential units immediately to the east,across the flood control channel to the north,and across Nichols Street to the west. A different church facility is located to the south, across Warner Avenue. There are no agricultural resources or operations in the vicinity that would be affected by the project. And the project is completely contained within the existing Church/school property and does not propose any elements that would disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of the surrounding community. The proposed master plan is consistent with the proposed zoning and updated General Plan designation and will not conflict with environmental plans or policies of the City of Huntington Beach. Environmental Assessment#95-4 1 of 11 4/24/96 1 91tentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact H. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the proposal: a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local population ❑ ❑ El projections? (Sources: 3, 5) b) Induce substantial growth in an area either directly or ❑ El El indirectly(e.g.,through projects in an undeveloped area or extension of major infrastructure)? (Sources: 3, 5) c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable housing? El (Sources: 6) Discussion:. The project will provide additional educational opportunities for families with school-aged children. At the completion of the masterplan,the school anticipates an enrollment of approximately 800 students which is an increase from the existing enrollment of approximately 475 students. However, no population increase is anticipated as a direct result of the project. No residential units exist on the site,nor are units included as part of the project. No significant adverse impacts are anticipated. III.GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS.

(Sources: 7,8) El 11Q Discussion: The project site is currently occupied by a 12,500 square foot church sanctuary,four school buildings totaling approximately 27,600 square feet,an asphalt parking lot,a tot lot play area and landscaping. The site was previously graded prior to the construction of the existing buildings, is primarily flat and does not contain any unique physical or Environmental Assessment#95-4 2 of 11 4/24/96 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact geologic features. Construction of the proposed masterplan will require the removal of four existing school buildings and the minor grading(approximately 10%of the site)for.the preparation of the new structures. There will be no import or export of soil as part of the grading operations. Any displacement,compaction,and overcovering of soil associated with the upgrade and construction of the infrastructure improvements are considered negligible. The project site is not located within the Alquist-Priolo Special Hazards Zone and is located more than 2 miles from the suspected trace of the Newport Inglewood fault. However,in the event of an earthquake in the Huntington Beach area, the site may be subject to ground shaking. Structures built in California are required to comply with standards set forth in the Uniform Building Code to minimize the structural risks from groundshaking. Based upon the City's Geotechnical Inputs Study(prepared by Leighton-Yen&Associates, 1974)the project site is located in an area of moderate to high clay content which can be indicative of expansive soils. However,this is common in the City and impacts can be addressed through compliance with applicable soils, grading and structural foundation requirements,codes and ordinances, such that any potential geologic impacts will be reduced to a level of insignificance. (See standard condition No. 1 in Attachment No. 3 requiring compliance with all local and State codes). Site preparation during the master plan of development may result in short term wind and water erosion impacts. The project will be subject to standard conditions of approval requiring implementation of dust control measures. (See standard condition No. 3). No significant impacts are anticipated. IV.WATER Would the proposal result in: a) Changes in absorption rates,drainage patterns,or the rate ❑ El ❑X and amount of surface runoff? (Sources: 2) b) Exposure of people or property to water related hazards such 11 El as flooding? (Sources: 9) c) Discharge into surface waters or other alteration of surface Q water quality(e.g.,temperature, dissolved oxygen or turbidity)? (Sources: 1) d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any water body? El 11Q (Sources: 1) e) Changes in currents,or the course or direction of water ❑ 11 ❑ 9 movement? (Sources: 1) f) Change in the quantity of ground waters,either through ❑ ❑ direct additions or withdrawals,or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations or through substantial loss of groundwater recharge capability? (Sources: 3) g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? (Sources: ❑ ❑ 7, 8) h) Impacts to groundwater quality? (Sources: 7, 8) El ❑ ❑X i) Substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater ❑ Q otherwise available for public water supplies? (Sources: 5,7) Environmental Assessment#95-4 3 of 11 4/24/96 Oentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact Discussion:. The proposed master plan will not increase the amount of impervious surfaces(concrete, asphalt, etc.)on the property since the site had previously been developed on. Structures or pavement will continue to cover approximately 90 percent of the site. Drainage of the site is adequately accommodated by the existing storm drain system. The existing storm drain system can adequately accommodate the proposed expansion. No significant impacts to drainage resulting from the project is anticipated. The project will require the installation of new on-site water lines. The existing facility currently uses approximately 2,490 gallons of water per day and is projected to have a water demand of approximately 6,000 gallons per day upon completion of the masterplan. The City's Public Works Department has reviewed the proposed project and has indicated that the increase can be accommodated by the City's water service capacity. The project will be subject to standard conditions of approval requiring implementation of Title 24 conservation measures such as low flow fixtures and use of drought tolerant plant species and drip irrigation. (See condition No. 1 of the standard conditions.) The project site is located in Zone X and is not within the 100 year floodplain. The project does not propose any excavation or other activities which could impact groundwater. The site does not drain directly into any natural body of water. No significant adverse impacts to the existing water supply are anticipated. V. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal: a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing ❑ ❑ Q El or projected air quality violation? (Sources: 10) b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? (Sources: 1) 11 ❑ El c) Alter air movement, moisture,or temperature? (Sources: 6) ❑ ❑ d) Create objectionable odors? (Sources: 6) 0 Discussion: Development of the master plan will increase classroom and gymnasium space by approximately 31,424 square feet for a total of approximately 57,950 square feet of classroom and gymnasium area. The expansion will result in an increase in pollutant emissions in the area which may incrementally contribute to degradation of local air quality. However, the total square footage of the school facilities,upon completion of the master plan,are approximately 75 percent below the threshold criteria for significant air quality impacts(as established by the South Coast Air Quality Management District); therefore, the project's contribution is considered less than significant. Short-term deterioration of local ambient air quality may occur during construction as a result of construction equipment emissions and dust. Emissions are expected from gasoline and diesel-powered grading and paving equipment and fugitive dust generation associated with earth moving activities. Grading activities are expected to last approximately 7 days for each phase. However,with the implementation of conditions of approval minimizing dust and emissions resulting from construction equipment,no significant adverse air quality impacts are anticipated.

Would the proposal result in: a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? (Sources: 6, 11) ❑ ❑X b) Hazards to safety from design features(e.g., sharp curves or ❑ dangerous intersections)or incompatible uses(e.g.,farm equipment)? (Sources: 2) c) Inadequate emergency access or inadequate access to nearby ❑ 11 El uses? (Sources: 1, 2) d) Insufficient parking capacity on-site or off-site? (Sources: 2, 4) e) Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists? (Sources: 2) ❑ 110 f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting alternative ❑ transportation(e.g.,bus turnouts,bicycle racks)? (Sources: 2) g) Rail,waterbome or air traffic impacts? (Sources: 1) 0 ❑ ❑ Q Discussion: Traffic count information on the existing school operations(submitted by the applicant)indicates that the existing school experiences approximately 1258 trips per weekday(per 24 hour period). Based upon the existing enrollment of 475 students,existing operations generate an average of approximately 2.6 trips per student per weekday. Utilizing this student trip generation ratio, at build-out(enrollment of approximately 800 students), the master plan will generate approximately 2,080 trips per weekday. This constitutes a projected increase of approximately 822 trips per day. Existing roadway segments and intersections in the area are currently operating within the City's standards for acceptable levels of service(LOS)B(Warner Avenue from Beach Boulevard to Gothard Street)and D(a.m. peak hour*),respectively. The generation of 822 trips(over a 24 hour period)at build out will contribute to a decrease in the level of service in the area. (It should be noted that the projected number of trips is expected to decrease significantly when accepted concepts of "pass-through"traffic are addressed,whereby trips to the school which are drop-offs on the way to other destinations are discounted. However, such adjustments can only be made through completion of a site specific traffic study,as is being required as in the standard condition of approval). The project's overall contribution is not expected to result in a significant drop in the level of service, and is not considered significant. Therefore, no significant modifications to the traffic system are required. The project's contribution to traffic impacts is expected to be offset by the project's payment of its share of the traffic impact fees,which are utilized to fund area wide traffic improvements. (Please refer to Standard Condition No. 6) (*Note: AMpeak hour information was used for the intersection LOS as a.m. school operations coincide with morning peak hour traffic activity. The nature of PM school traffic is staggered throughout the afternoon as different grade level students are excused for the day prior to the typical evening peak hour) Environmental Assessment#95-4 5 of 11 4/24/96 r . r i Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact Construction traffic resulting from development of the project may result in short-term interruptions to traffic circulation, including pedestrian and bicycle flow. These potential impacts may be reduced through implementation of conditions of approval requiring Department of Public Works approval of a construction vehicle control plan. See standard cond.No. 4. Upon build-out, the project will provide 251 parking spaces on-site to serve the existing church facility and school. Based on the number of seats in the sanctuary, the project requires 271 parking spaces. At worse case,the project will provide 247 spaces following Phase I. The applicant has submitted a variance request for reduced parking and will submit parking study identifying the availability of parking during the use of the sanctuary. In addition, the applicant will explore the possibility of relocating the southerly driveway to align with the terminus of Washington Avenue. With implementation of standard conditions of approval, including conformance of the proposed street systems to City standards, review and approval of street improvement plans and payment of traffic impact fees, no significant traffic impacts are anticipated. VH.BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal result in impacts to: a) Endangered,threatened or rare species or their habitats (including but not limited to: plants,fish, insects,animals, and birds)? (Sources: 6) b) Locally designated species(e.g., heritage trees)? (Sources: 6) ❑ 11 ❑ Q c) Locally designated natural communities(e.g.,oak forest, ❑ El ❑ Q coastal habitat,etc.)? (Sources: 6, 13) d) Wetland habitat(e.g., marsh, riparian and vernal pool)? 11 ❑ ❑ Q (Sources: 6, 13) e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? (Sources: 7) 11 El ❑ 9 Discussion: The project site and surrounding area is completely developed and does not contain any endangered or rare species nor will it result in any loss to endangered or sensitive animal or bird species. No impacts to wetland habitat or wildlife are anticipated. VIH.ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal: a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation plans? (Source: 3) El Q b) Use non-renewable resource in a wasteful and inefficient ❑ ❑ 11 ❑X manner? (Sources: 3, 7) c) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource 0 that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State? (Sources: 6, 13) Discussion: The project will not result in a significant increase in the rate of use of any non-renewable energy resource. The anticipated energy demands created by the project are within parameters of overall projected demand which is planning to be met for the area. No significant adverse impacts to natural resources are anticipated. Environmental Assessment#95-4 6 of 11 ai�4/96 • 90tentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact IX.HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve: a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of hazardous ❑ substances(including,but not limited to: oil,pesticides, chemicals or radiation)? (Sources: 6,7) b) Possible interference with an emergency response plan or ❑ ❑ El emergency evacuation plan? (Sources: 7, 13) c) The creation of any health hazard or potential hazards? 11 ❑ El a (Sources: 6) d) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable brush,grass, ❑ ❑ ❑X or trees? (Sources: 2,6) Discussion: The master plan for the Central Baptist Church school buildings and gymnasium will not involve the use of any hazardous materials and will not result in any impediments to emergency response or evacuation plans. The project site is located within the recommended five(5)minute response area from both the Murdy and Gothard Fire Stations.The project will also be required to comply with standard ADA requirements for disabled persons. With implementation of standard conditions of approval, no significant impacts resulting from hazardous materials are anticipated. X. NOISE. Would the proposal result in: a) Increases in existing noise levels? (Sources: 7, 12) ❑X 0 b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? (Sources: 7, 12) Discussion: The project will generate short-term noise impacts during construction with the use of heavy construction equipment. All construction will be required to comply with Chapter 8.40 Noise of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code, and through the implementation and compliance of standard conditions of approval, no significant noise impacts during construction are anticipated. The project site and surrounding area is completely developed. The proposed project is to a request to expand the existing school use on the subject site. School structures currently are located along the easterly boundary of the site and along the southerly boundary on Warner Avenue. At build-out of the master plan,new classroom and gymnasium facilities will be located approximately 20 feet from the easterly property line and approximately 5 feet from the northerly property line. Although the proposed project will expand the existing school uses and bring structures closer to the northerly property line, the noise resulting from the use of the classrooms and gym are expected to be considered negligible due to existing ambient noise levels from Warner Avenue and the similarity of proposed activities to those already occurring on the site. Furthermore,the school buildings are proposed to be oriented away from residential properties with doors facing the parking lot centrally located on the property. The classroom buildings will have openable windows along the easterly and northerly property lines for light and ventilation purposes. The gymnasium and classroom building to be constructed along the northerly property line will be replacing the existing outdoor play area which generates higher levels of outdoor noise than the proposed facilities. In addition,residential units, located to the north of the site are separated by a 75 foot wide flood control channel and parking lot. The project proposes to extend the existing play areas along the easterly property line(between the existing classroom buildings and the easterly property line)to the north and south during each phase(to replace the outdoor play areas which will be lost to new classroom/gymnasium construction). Residential units to the east of the site will be separated from the Environmental Assessment#95-4 7 of 11 4/24/96 potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact proposed classroom/play area facilities by a two rows of carports and a drive aisle(totaling approximately 100 feet)on the residential property. In addition,these residential units are oriented away from the subject site so that only rear windows face the property. Long-term noise impacts may occur as a result of the increase in trip-ends and associated vehicular noise generated by the new school buildings. Due to the existing level of traffic generated by the project and the ambient noise from the existing uses,the project generated noise levels are considered negligible.No significant long-term noise impacts are anticipated. XI.PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the proposal have an effect upon,or result in a need for new or altered government services in any of the following areas: a) Fire protection? (Sources: Huntington Beach Fire Dept.) 11 El ❑XEl b) Police Protection? (Sources: Huntington Beach Police Dept.) El 11 ❑X c) Schools? (Sources: 13) ❑ 0 d) Maintenance of public facilities,including roads? (Sources: City of Huntington Beach) ❑ ❑ e) Other governmental services? (Sources: City of Huntington ❑ ❑ ❑X Beach) Discussion: The proposed project has initially been reviewed by the various City Departments, including Public Works,Fire and Police,for compliance with all applicable City codes. With the implementation of standard conditions of approval,and compliance with City specifications,no significant adverse impacts to public services are anticipated. XII.UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the proposal result in a need for new systems or supplies,or substantial alterations to the following utilities: a) Power or natural gas? (Sources: 5,7) Q b) Communication systems? (Sources: 5,7) c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution facilities? (Sources: 5,7) d) Sewer or septic tanks?

(Sources: 5,7) a El Environmental Assessment#95-4 8 of 11 4/24/96 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact Discussion: The project will require incremental extensions of public services and utilities to the site,which will be provided by the respective governmental agencies and utility companies. According to the Public Works Department,water utilized by the development would be approximately.6000 gallons per day. The project will also generate an estimated 5500 gallons of sewage per day and approximately 380 pounds of solid waste per day. The latter will be collected by the Rainbow Disposal Company. With the implementation of standard conditions of approval, no adverse impacts to the City's utilities are anticipated. These connections are considered as minor improvements, and existing systems can accommodate the projected use. XM.AESTHETICS. Would the proposal: a) Affect a scenic vista or scenic highway? (Sources: 1) 0 b) Have a demonstrable negative aesthetic effect? (Sources: 1, El El 1 4) c) Create light or glare? (Sources: 2) El Q El Discussion: The project site is not located along any scenic highway or in the vicinity of any scenic vista or resource. The proposed development will consist of school buildings and a gymnasium up to 45 feet in height. With a proposed five foot side yard setback to a 15 foot wide storm drain easement east of the proposed buildings, the proposed buildings will be 20 feet from the east property line. Furthermore,the adjacent property has carports abutting the property line,with a driveway and a second row of carports between the apartments and property line. As a result, the separation between the proposed buildings and the apartments is approximately 100 feet. No adverse aesthetic impacts are anticipated. The project will introduce some new light sources on the project site, including lighting for the buildings and parking lot. These ire the same type of lighting sources which presently exist in the area. The incremental increase in ambient light due to the new buildings is expected to the negligible. With implementation of standard conditions of approval(See No. 5 on Attachment No. 3)requiring the directing of lights in a manner to prevent spillage onto adjacent properties, no adverse impacts,are anticipated. XMCULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal: a) Disturb paleontological resources? (Sources: 14) 11 ❑ El 1 b) Disturb archaeological resources? (Sources: 14) c) Affect historical resources?

XVI.MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of a the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels,threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? (Sources: 2, 7) Discussion: The project is not located in the areas of any wildlife or biological resource areas and will therefore not substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels,threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community,or reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal. No significant adverse impacts are anticipated. b) Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term,to El El El 0 the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals?

Environmental Assessment#95-4 Attachment No. 3 ATTACHMENT 8 BAPTIST_ ` CHURCH To Know Christ and to Make Him Known" September 30, 1996 Planning Commission City of Huntington Beach 1,100 Main St. I11.iilLlilgttin UCGcil, `-A i12 fv Dear Planning Commission, Thank you for taking the time to review tine details of our project. Enclosed you will find `; e variance requests that we believe will be necessary for the completion of our project. As you may know, the City of Huntington Beach will be requiring us to change our zoning from medium density residential to public semi-public. The new zone, public semi-public, requires that if the,applicants property abuttes a residentially zoned property, a building that is o1L the applicants property and is taller than 18' feet must be at least 45' from the property line. Buildings on property that are zoned public semi-public may not be taller than 50'. The first variance thai we are requesting is to place a building that will be approximately 45' tall, 20' from the property line. If we are allowed to place our 45' building 20' from the property line, the closest residential building will be 96' away and that residential building will be a two story apartment building. A playground, two parking garages, a driveway, and a small grass area will separate the two buildings. The second variance that we are requesting is regarding the marking requirement. The necessary number of parking spaces on our p.operty is driven by the number of seats that are in Che chci cil audiioriurn. T l.at nurnbec is 81,3 fixect Suits. Chu-rch auditonuIns are required to Ilse a 3:1 ratio for parking, which means that we need 271 spaces. After phase one of our project, the available number of parking spaces will be 247 spaces. That is a reduction of 2.4 parking spaces. That should not be a problem, however, because for several years we have kept a record of the number of empty harking spaces on Sunday mornings which is our busiest time for parking lot usage. .Ns of September 29, 1996, the average number of empty parking spaces on Sunday niorni.ng for 1996, is 83 parking spaces. That means that even though our number of parking spaces will be reduced. by 24 parking spaces in phase one, we will still have approximately 60 more parking spaces than our average usage. 7661 Warner Ave. Huntington Beach CA, 92647 (714)848-551 1 The third variance that we are requesting is on the six (6) foot wide street side landscape planter along Nichols St. Currently there is no planter and there is a block and wrought iron wall that extends the entire length of the property (600 feet) and is located immediately adjacent to the sidewalk. On the west side of Nichols, there is a large apartment complex. Over the years, we have had many problems keeping our side of Nichols, the east side, clean due to trash and debris from across the street. Frequentiv, there are numerous grocery carts from local grocery stores and substantial amounts of trash that are left by street vendors and their patrons. There are also many days when day-workers congregate on the sidewalk waiting for employment. We speculate that if there were a planter or grass area on Nichols St., it would become a gathering place for trash, grocery carts, and workers waiting for daily employment. We speculate that there would be few individuals who would choose to sit on a concrete curb, if given the opportunity to sii or lie down on a awn. We are also very concerned with how the property would be impacted in regards to parking and the cost of building a new wall. It is anticipated that we would lose anywhere from four (4) to ten (10) parking spaces. This may not sound like a significant number, however, we are already requesting a variance for the required number of parking spaces for our church auditorium and this only makes a small problem bigger. The cost for a building a new wall that would replace the existing wall, and match the wall on the south of the property, would be in the tens of thousands of dollars and possibly as high as $60,000. For our organization, this is a major stumbling block. Our church congregation has committed to a building program on a pay as you go basis. We have anticipated and planned for on-site improvements as required, however, tearing down a wall and moving it six feet for $60,000, would delay the project for several months. The final variance request that we anticipate at this time is also related to parking. Phase one of construction calls for a gymnasium and classrooms that surround the gym on the western and. southerly sides of the building. These new classrooms will replace modular classrooms that are currently in use. We will not be able to remove the current modular classrooms until the new classrooms are completed. This will temporarily reduce parking, during construction, by approximately forty (40) spaces due to the fact that after the modular buildings are removed, the area In which they are currently located %viil becorr-e park-Ing. NTuile 0_-:is Height crea►e a temporary inconvenience for our church members during construction, we feel that their enthusiasm for the project will be reflected in their flexibility and cooperation to adapt to the necessary parking constrictions. We will, of course, conclude construction as quickly as possible. If I may be of any assistance or if you have any questions regarding our project, please feel free to call me at (714) 842-5992. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Thbm Doney 7 ` NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 5, 1997, at 7:00 PM in the City Council Chambers, 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, the City Council will hold a public hearing on the following planning and zoning items: I El 1.
