Home My WebLink AboutSeacliff Phase IV - Appeals - W of Goldenwest St, N of Palm (39) Page Six 8 , 0 Ali LY fS: Prior to action on the various applications constituting Seacliff Phase Iti, the following areas of concern must be thoroughly addressed : 8 , 1 ,1,MJ2a1(ft_--gn b—e I&caI Coastal Flan The proposed development is generally compatible with the General Plan and existing zoning . However, because the project sate lies entirely within the Coastal Zone, it will be affected by the local coastal planning efforts underway at the direction of the Coastal Act of 1976 . Upon certification by the Coastal Comission, the Local Coastal Plan will aupercede all pr-vious plans for this area . Though wnr}. on the Local Coastal Plan :s underway, a coastal element to the Gener4 Man is not anticipated prior to April , 1979 . Several coastal issuer are being investigated as part of the LCP for thin area : protuction of new potentials, potential for low- and moderate income housing, impac^: on adjacent sensitive areas , potential for visitor serving facill . ies ir --luding parking, and potential for oil/gas facilities expansion . The development proposal is not necessarily Inconsistent with the policies of the Coastal Act . Considerable provision has been made for aestsvtic:ps , open apace, bluff setback , and scenic highway treatment : ., and residential use is not ILPE, ge prohibited . Because the ultimate coastal plan is not complete, however , a key issue becomes the impact :)f decisionmaking now c,,n future planning options . The coaritment of 11.4 acres to a particular use at this time may preclude planning decisions (when the regsrlts of coastal research is known) and, therefore, prejudice the LCP. while literally any decision could be said to in some way limit future planning options, certain specific facts are important in this rase : 1 . The size of the proj,1ct area . 2 . Itn Location, adjacent to a sensitive area whose ultimate utilizatiun has not yet been determined, and 3 . The uncertainty of future needs for this area for natural resource production and/or processing. On the other hand, this project guarantees continued options for bluff park planning, does not restrict public access to any waterway or public resource arras, and provides a desirable aesthetic environment in an area planned for residential use for some time . Prior to determination on the project itself, the Commission should conclude whether the project is prejudicial to the preparation of the LCP. 8 . 2 Drainage Considerable discussion has taken place regarding the feasibility and desirability of the proposed drainage system for the project . The main Issues are ,immediate and long-terry capacity, impacts on aster quality, and impacts or, the bolsa Chiea . The final drainage proposal orrivvd at by the applicant in conjunction with the Department of Public Works, Water Quality Control District, and California Department of rish and Gamin..-" involves utilization of tht natural drainage course enhenctd by thrte �1 Page Seven f retention/percolation ponds , new culverts at 38th Street, improvement of the channel from the culvart to the Balsa Chica, creation of a drop structure to slow water velocities, and reconstruction of the road below the bl:ffa . A special geologic and hydrogeologic Assess- ment of the proposed system was conducted by Geotechnial Consultants , Inc. This study found the proposal technically feasible and the Public Works Department has concluded that it Is adequate for the proposed devolopment and can be expanded in the future to accommodate additional projects in the area . The Regional Plater Quality Control Board has granted clearance of the proposal , and the State Department of Fiat and Game has concluded that the revised proposal adequately addressee its concerns retarding impact on the Hol :a Chica provided adequate maintenance of the system is insured. 8 . 3 SVyRrAR cit_Y TwO alternative sewering proposals have been considered for this project: either incorporation of reaches 3 (portion) , 4 and 5 (portion) of the Sanitation District Master Plan under reir&wswncnt with the District or can- struction of parallel lines t,. the existing City system. leer overall economy, the Sanitation District recommends participation in the Muster Plan facilities . In either instance, adequate sewering depends on approval and completion of Reachen 1 and 2 of the PCH trunk line now per:3ing on appeal before the State Coastal Commission. Because the nature of the development and its sewerstge options are consistent with the Sanitatlon District Master Plan, the District is not recownendinq any delay in project approval , Consistent with previous Planning Commisslon actions on similar projects, the sewer issue is Addressed as a recommended condition of approval , prohibiting recardatton of final mapa until the coast: trunk serer or acceptable alternative is approved. 8 . 4 3Btb Street Al igMel3t The proposed alignment of 38th street through the project areas repre- sents the culmination of negotiations among City Staff, Coastal Com- mission Staff , and the County Environmental Management Agency . According to county and city staff analysis, the alignment is a minimum of 100 to 200 feet to the east of top of bluff as defined by EMA, and the County staff has concluded that the alignment is euft� •- - ?ntly set back from bluff ' s edge to not interfere with the propose,. linear park . Analysis of the alignment by Planning and Public Works Departments as well as Planning Comm.ismion Study Session concluded that it does not preclude future street options either north or scuth of the project area . As requested by the Plariing Commission, Resolution of intention No . 1237 is inclodeA for adoption to initiate a Precise Elan of Street Alignents for 38th Street frca Palm Avenue north to Gar:'!eld . 8 . 5 In •Lior ,Q,culetion In the EIR and throughout Ataff analysls considerable atk.ention has been focummed at street widths, turning radii . entry drives, and wwr9ency kaccess. The proposed plans constitute revtsioas to origlral pmparals w designed to address the impacts identified and are acceptable to staff . Product A incorporates 32 foot wide streets with parking parmitttd on j one side only. All turning radii will be designed to hire Department r ,� a f Page Eight standards , entry drives have been expanded to allow additional stacking. to and all driveways w1,1 .1 be a ininimum of 20 feet to relieve on street pa:Aing pressures. To improve circulation and access . Product d interior streets were ravijed to include median planters to discourage 1.11egal parking in areas where parking 1w<ya did not exist. Entry dr. 1 vea along Palm Awenue were lengthened and widened to expand holding capacity and facilitate: turning movements . Interior cSrculation in Product C was revised to incorporate minimum and exterior turning radii and added exits and emergency access . With these changes , all Product areas meet minimum street width and turning radiva standards . However , the Fire Dem rtment is still concerned with emergency access to the project and is recommending (by memo of Sept . 11 , 1978 attached) that its concern for reduced response times be noted in the Final Public Report on the project . 8 . 6 Psi s.IQg Products B and C do not meet minimum parking requirements . Product B is technically 93 spaces short thotigh all driveways are a': least 20 feet to accommodate parking needs not usually possible in planned development: . On the other hand, availability of quest parking is restricted by the street, co.,figuration and cluster nature of the development. Product C is approximately 53 spaces below code requirement. They applicant designed the project in this manner to comply with Coastal Commission staff eirection . Because of the greater density of this project, its typical PD design, and the minimum access provided, parking for this Product may be a criticJ, issue . Despite the apparent differences in coastal staff and City parkinq standards, the coastal Commission hats not officially required any parking reduction in projects approved to data. The applicant has requested a special permit to vary parking requirements for these two product areas . 8 . 7 irk Requirg .ents The Phase IV project will generate approximately 8 Acres of park dedication . Because no park is currently planned within or adjacent to the project , the land dedication will be taken at a later date to be used as designated by the City Council . The Planning Commission and Recreation and Parka Commission have opened discussions regarding parks in the Sear.liff area . 8 ..,8 Scenic filghwiLys 38th Street alrpng the northwestern edge of the project appears in the Scenic highways Element as an extension of Edwards Avenue and is designated as a local scenic route. Though a specific impl.ementation plan for the scenic route proposal has not been prepared. the intent bf the program is to beautify certain streets with intensified landscaping, medians, increased building setbacks, height requirements , etc, The Seacliff 7V proposal along 38th Street incorporates these features to great degree : landscape buffers are provided, landscaped berms instead of Perimeter walls are proposed, building setback is considerable, parking areas are a&nuately screeised, 38th is being dest%Vned to include landseap,* medians, street landscaping is intensified. y �� PA Page dine d , 9 street I~dt3�scaQsrt9 The applicant is proposing intensified landscape treatment including meandering sidewalks along all public streets . Though staff recognised the aesthetic attributes of the proposal, the Public Works Department rejected the idea in view of maintenance costs invol Fvd . The Sub.- division Committee directed staff to pursue the sperci.;` treatment, however, and the applicant has agreed to assume all lar- iscape maintenance if the City will accept dedication, maintenance, and liability for the meandering sidewalk. The City Attorney ' s Officer has determined that such an arrangement in possible, though cumbersonvi, and perhaps unnecessary since the City can leave bath sidewalk and landscaping in private ownership and require public access to the sidewalk without liability or maintenance responsibility . This in staff recommendation through conditions of approval on the tentative tracts . 8 , 1,Q _&c§&ion of Rroduct c_ .Some concern has been raised about locating the higher density product close to the linear park and the Bolaa Chica . This issue, however , : �:volves conflicting principles . On the one hand, the proposed location conforms to General Plan locational criteria in terms of arterial access and recreational facilities . It also overlaps the R3-0 zoning area originally into:nded for even higher density use , on the other hand, it cony ict, with General Plan criteria calling for lower density buffers near sensitive creas and proximity to business and inutitutional uses . In an area where urban uses could --- be made inconspicuous , this product offers the greatest building bulk and highest density of the three product types . A decision to relocate this product area could necessitate major overhaul of the entire project. Some impacts can be mitigated by the suggested condition to fence the west side of 38th Street to restrict access to the sensitive areas . 8-1 1 glue_¢ for uec P n City Planning Dena rtment standards contain provisions for deviation feam code rehuireoents in order to promote better living environ- ments , facilitate innovative design and sits planning, and eraato an aesthetic environment . The applicant has forwarded a request for seven special permit items which he feels are necessary to achieve his design concept . In summary . staff recommends the following action cn those items : 1 . Approve reduction of minimum side yard from 15 to 10 toot in Products A and 8 because the zero side yard concept is wised and adequate* av*rage separation between units is provdded. 2 . Approve elimination of trash enclosures in Products A and 1b becauso each single family unit can adequately be served individually. 3 r Page 'Ten 3 . Approve 43 space parking reduction in Product B because driveway design Is greater than typical Planning Department projects , guest parking is located throughout the project and a true ratio of 4 . 5 spares per unit is providmd rich swaseds nmml s wds do. 4 . Approve reduction of building separation requirement to la Meet at corners of buildings in Product C because of building offset, adequate average separation, and architectural features . 5. Deny reduction in parking requirements for Product C because of project density, design , limited on-sight guest parking potentials , and minimum accessibility of units from on-street parking. 6 . Approve elimination of recreation area requirements for Products A and 8 because of compensating private open space provisions as well as excess comnx)n open space . 7 . Approve waiver of building bulk provision for Product C to allow 8 units per building and two story end units because the intent of the code is met by building design, varying elevation and. of9sets . 9 .0 _JJEM=t4D TI : If the Planning Commission finds that the project is not prejudicial to the Lncal Coastal Plan, staff recommends approval o� the subject appli- cations with findings and conditions .

Apparently there had been a previous development or two which features bang ugly barracks like rows of tc* nhouses. These resulted In on ordinance intended specifically to prevent had design of this type. The law was perfectly well- mrant but, being written for a particular type: of housing. tetnded to be rather arbitrary and i,If icxible.

Walden: Seacliff Project Based on the dosilting facilities proposed which will also be designed and operated as percolation ponds , we believe that Seacliff IV should not affect water duality. There- 'tore, clearance fnr planning purposes is granted. In reviewing the percolation test data, which was Included with your submittal , we question the factor lased in the report. The Ludwig modification procedure, as normally applied in set•age systems, requires a factor of ?.0 rather than the 3 uti 1 i rc•d. Furthermore, it nay be wire prudent to apply even a l::rger factor, since a clarification process precedes Oe percolation of sewage whereas in this situation because the pond is basically a desilting structure this will markedly reduce the v*rcol a ti on rates found during clean water testing. Prior to any construction activity, please provide for review and approval the final proposal for erosion-siltation control for Seacliff IV. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact this office.

Th+ fo must be accomplished before Seacliff IV is allowed to faw►ard. Product is grossly unsuited as the development closest to the bluff . It is offensive in bulb , does not contorm to the PD ordinance for bulk, and should be eliminated entirely from the Seacliff IV Planned Development .

Page 154 of t.ie EIR on Seacliff IV suggests relocati.nt Product C as one of the project alternatives .

The reasons for this request include, but are not limited to, tbee followinq: 1. The sidewalks enter upon and them exit the public rightwot-way in an intermittant pattern. 2. Irrigation facilities would have to be installed in a duplicate systr because of the interaction of the landscaping on both private and public property. 3 . Due to this physi-"&l arrangammt. of the landsceplaq, It woad be extremely difficult to effectivoir eoordinate between the maintenance on private property and that an public right-of-oway. 4.

RESOLUTION OF INTENTION NC►. 1737 - To initiate alignment of 38th Street . Commissioner Higgins informed the Commission that he would abstain from discussion or action on the above items, due to a potential for conflict of interest , and left the dais . Monica Florian made a brief presentation of the project, outlining eight critical issues for the Commission' s information as follows : 1) impact on the Local Coastal Program; 2) drainage and future mainten- ance of that drainage system; 3) sewerina of the project ; 4) exterior circulation; 5) interior circulation , including the desire of the Fire Department that the final Real Estate Report for the project reflect its concerns in regard to their response time and parking in the pro- ject; 6) park requirements, both neighborhood and the }proposed linear park; 7) scenic highway consideration; and 8) intensified street landscaping. Other it%_ms discussed by Ms. Florian were the location of the high density Product C in relation -o its surroundings and the special permit requests submitted by the applicant for the complex. Minor corrections to the suggested conditions of approval contained in the staff report were outlined . A. J. Nall addressed the Commission in support of the proposals. Rod Freeman, architect for Product Cr addressed the Ctmiiisslon to pre- sent justification for the reduced parking in that area:, noting that r 1 � 7- 11-7-78 - Pf" Minutes: M.D. PlanC)g Comission ! Tuesday, November 1 , 1979 Page g it had been their intent to include the perimeter street , which its inaccessible from both Products A and B. as part of the parking tabu- ' lation for C. Ms. Florian reported that this reduction of 53 spaces below minimum requirements in Product C is the only special permit request which the staff feels it cannot endorse . 1n response to a question from Cormissi.oner Finley, Dave Walden ►ex- plained the new drainage construction proposed to take place at the base of the bluff. He noted that, while the runoff from the project will follow its present natural course into the Bolsa Chicar no increase in runoff will occur. The public: hewing was opened. Herb Chatterton addressed the Commission to point out contradictions on both volume and quality of runoff between the proponents presenta- tion and the EIR for the project . tie cited an Orange County Environ- mental Management Agency study on the Anaheim Bay drainage area (dated August, 1977) to support his contention that a 25-year otorm would result in one ton per hour of leads and other poisonous metal compounds being clumped into the Bolsa Chica from the Seacliff IV product areas . He stated that the storm runoff" should be directed toward the ocean and also that the project should be found prejudicial to the Local Coastal Program. Steve Schumacher, 021 Lawn Llaven Drive, addressed the Commission in , general opposition to the project. fie spoke in regard to the existing conditions in the area , specifically traffic congestion and the absence of small parks for the present Seacliff development , and asked that the City solve those problems before adding to them by another develop- ment. Margaret Carlberg , re presentinn the Environmental Council , addressed the Commission. She stressed maintenance of the drainage systems; the aesthetic impact of Product C on the bluff line; the methods of handling known archaeological sites in the general area; safe construc- tion on the bluff top; and compliance with the mitigating ~measures put forward in the environmental review . She also expressed the Envir- onmental Council ' s support of the suclgestion from Fish and Came that testing for water quality be required , to begin prior to any grading on top of the bluff . Marc Porter , president of the dome Council , addressed the Commission. He stated that the project should not !je constructed with only one main access off Palm Avenue; thnaZ the proposed linear park should not be considered to satisfy the park requirements for the project, that no building permits should be issued until construction on Reach 3 of the trunk sewer has begun; and that a finding of consistency with the Local Coastal Program would preclude this project from► participating in the low-cost housing objectives of the Coastal Act . He also urged that the Commission consider the economic impact this project would have in provision of City services . r -6- 11-7-78 - PC Minutes: M.S. Plsn�o'e-h Commission Tuesday, November 7. 1978 Page 9 rl Rhoda Martin, of Amigos de Zola& Chic&, expressed the opinion, that the proposals would have adverse effects on they lowlands and would 1 preclude many options for the linear park. She also urged the Coat-- mission to make a finding that the project would be prejudicial to the Local Coastal Program. Jeff Fillbach, also of Amigos de Bolsa Chica, addressed the Commission to emphasize the importance of designing 38th Street without the necessity of having to design around an already approved project. He also agreed with the previous comments on the effect the project would have on the development of the Local Coastal Program. The public hearing was left open while Commission discussion took place. The Commission discussed the problems brought up at this meeting. Extensive discussion took place on whether or not the C ission had the authority to make a finding that any project in the coastal zone would be prejudicial to t%e Local Coastal Program, and the Commission directed staff to request a written opinion from the office of the City Attorneys on the matter. Rhoda Martin again briefly addressed the Commission, and the public hearing was closed. The Commission discussed alternative methods of handling the requests , and A. J. Hall concurred to a continuance.

No Police Department representative was present. Cecil Sterling, representing the firm which prepared the Environmental Impact Report (Ultrasystems) was also present at the meeting. Acting Secretary Palin discussed procedure , and it was determined to review the EIR far adequacy pries to considering the actual project applications . Cecil Sterling reviewed the identi'.ied impacts to be expected from the proposed project. He noted that many of the changes incorporated into the plan have come about as a result of those impacts identified in the EtR and could be considered as mitigation measures for the project. The Commission reviewed the EIR, discussing the following major points in regard to ..he adequacy of that document : Soils: Mr. Sterling said -hat two previous soils reports done in 1975 an�c.-1976 hod identified no significant soil problems, adding, hovever, that there• should be a subsequent report to design for acceleration that might be expected from a 6. 6 quake: . Commissioner Stern suggested that subsidence could be a problem that has not been fully addressed in the EIR and that there might be a future need for water injection opera- Lion, s ' nce the area to the east and north of the project site has xperie ced subsidence :in the past. Mr. Sterling sa:id that the project area it .:elf has no history of subsidence. aina e : Thr Commission expressed concern that the EIR does not show e drainage as it is presently proposed and that an update on the drainage system might be appropriate . Mr. Sterling pr ted out that the changes to the drainage :system were in fact L Ought t by the impacts identified in the EIR, and that to require amendmen, th- EIR because it had successfully accomplished its objective in mi its ;q the adverse effects would penalize the consultant . it was his feclin(. that unless the Planning Commission rinds that the change in the drainage plan con- stitutes a substantial change in the project no further EIR revision should be necessary. Jim Barnes informed the Commission that the consultant has completed a later drainage study and the Environmental Resources section is requesting that it be incorporated as part of the final Environmental Impact Report . He said that the lasuee: addressed therein were acceptable to they agencies most cancevned ; i .e. , the Department of Fish and G and the Regional water Quality Control Board. Parks: The Cotemiss.ion discussed the fact that this developrient does neat � nc ude a neighborhood park, even though it does provide a large amou:et or private open space . Norin Worthy addressed the Commission to state -4- 11- 14-7R - PC Minutes H.S. Plannin'�'��,comission t � 9 Tuesday, November 14, 1974 Page S that the environmental document is adequate for park purposes and that his department is completely satisfied with it. Fire J)!�-2axrtmen t Concerns : Mel Ott indicated that the EIR has addressed the major concerns for access and circulation to the area , and sufficient facilities are available to serve the project . He noted that response time to the area will be adequate, but puinted out that the EIR does not address final design and interior circulation problems. In response to a question from Commissioner Cohen concerning the location of underground oil linen through the project area, Mr. Ott replied that theme are of concern to the Fire Department but can be handled during the construction phase of the development. Mr. Young of the Huntington Beach Company said that maps of all underground lines are available in his office. Sewer: Adequate sewers for the project was considered a critical point By the Commission , with Commissioners Bazil and Finley emphasizing that they could not vote to approve the project until Reach 3 of the Pacific Coast trunk line was under construction. Socio-Economic Effects : Commissioner Cohen pointed out the need for updated cost/revenue studies to be prepared for the project, noting that the current EIR does not include the post-proposition 1.3 impacts the City may face from a project of this size. Police Protection: It was the consensus that the EIR had addressed the amount of police protection needed for the project ; it w%Ns noted , how- ever, that the cost of that protection might need re-examination in light of Proposition 13. Air Quality : Discussion determined that the: EIR had adequately examined the air quality impacts for the project , Moth as the project might: affect the environment and as the surrounding land uses might affect the future residents of the project . 38th Street : Commissioner Bazil stated that this , in his opinion , is a s'o ai critical point, and that the Commission should insist on at: least dedication of right-of-way to Pacific Coast Highway , if not full street width installed at this time. The possibility that 38th Street at ultimate width and carrying ultimate traffic load might affect the drain- asgc± into the Bolsa Chica was discussed and it was the consernsuv that this particular concern had not been discussed and resolved in the EI!t. housin : Steve Kohler noted that the housing Element is i.n the formative N!" stage and that no Local Coastal Plan housing policy has been determined. He also noted that the unavailability of land at any price makes location Fi of low-cost housing in the coastal area extremely difficult . Mr. Mohler indicated that is his opinion the manner in which the Coastal Comission has been obtaining this type housing in coastal projects is not the optimum method of providing such housing. SO t0► -I- 1 1 - 14-IR - IBC inout�rs, M.D. PlannfrR � comission Noverber 14, 1971 P-3qe 6 OM% Local Coastal Plan : Mary Lynn Norby addressed the Commission in regard • 1 to t9 OF andt e policies of the Coastal Act. She informed them that until the LCP is complete there are no City policies in the area, but that any discussion or decisions made by the Planning Co m ission approval of these projects, extension of 38th Street , etc, ) would enter into the study data for the LCP. Extensive discussion took place among Commission members as to whether in this review it should considor the desires and policies of the Coastal Ccx mission for the coast&: *,ne, the provision of lower cost housing , and/or the growth inducing i +spact of the completion of the trunk sewer and the extension of 38th Street from pacific Coast Highway to Garfield Avenue. The possible prejudici4l effect on the future Local Coastal Plan which might result from approval of these projects wss also discussed. The public hearing was opened . Herb Chatterton, Amigos de Balsa Chic& , said he remains concerned with the quality of runoff water. lie suggested the possibility that an align- ' ment for 38th Street through a cut in the bluff might allow drainage to Pacific Coast Highway and the ocean and might eliminate the need to drain storm runoff into the Bolsa Chica . Jack Spruill , Fish and Came representative, spoke in regard to the f proposed drainage, saying that his department does not feel that the F.IR addressed the current drainage plans. Ile said that a letter had been submitted from the Department of Fish and Game indicating that it could conditionally concur with the proposed drainage; however, they do feel that it should be incorporated into the EIR in order to comply with the Legal requirements of CEpA. Commissioner Paone discussed with legal staff the procedure for rejecting a portion of an environmental document while finding it adequate in other areas.

John O 'Connor reviewed the various alternative actions the Commmission may take with regard to the requirements for an EIR. Jim Barnes informed the Commission that an amendment to the environmental document would require another public hearing and public input period, which he noted would be a minimum of thirty days. Cecil Sterling discussed the extreme difficulty of accurately determining the economic balance of the project , given the uncertain effects of Proposition 13, and pointed out that under the CEQA regulaE::ons consideration c,i economic effects is optional and maybe disregarded if the Commission should elect to do so.

Dave Walden made a presentation of the drainage system, citing hydrology reports prepared for the project. fie also informed the Commission that maintenance of the system will be monitored by the State water Quality Management District. The proposed drainage system has received the en- dorsement of the Department of Fish and Game and the Regional Water puality Control Board, the two most directly concerned public entities . The Commission discussed the information presented by Mr. Walden , consid- ering whether or not it might be incorporated into the •.:.ivironmental impact report as a modification made by the Commission -4ith an analysis from Ultrasystems of the proposed drainage plan and other concerns. Com- missioner Dazil indicated that an analysis of the drainage might serve to substantially answer the questions he had in regard to the isapacts of 36th Street as well. Timing of such a modification as opposed to an amended report was discussed with the proponents, and Mr. Hall agreed to a two-week continuation of the hearing. It wan determined that the individual Commissioncrs should enumerate their concerns and the applicant submit written responses for the next public hearing as well as the Ultrasystems analysis . It was stressed that the- Commission had made no commitment to approve the EIR or the project at thA t time.

Plannin4 brmission November 14 , 1978 Page 9 I The Commission emphasized that its above actions were taken based upon specified documents being prevented to contain the necessary information pertinent to the expressed concerns ; this information is to be incor- porated into the SIR as modifications thereto. In order to provide adequate guidance to the proponents and the consultant , the Comissi.oners outlined their individual concerns as follows : Commissioner Paone : Parking deficiencies must be corrected; both the regional Linear park and a neighborhood park should be addressed , with consideration of a possible park type buffer between Product C and the bluff . Com;nissioner Russell: A definite location for a park should be delineated: the total alignment of 38th Street should be addressed, including any confIidt with Cal*rans in regard to intersection of that street with Pacific. Coast Highway . Commissioner Stern: Issue of 38th Street addressed ; interior circulation in conjunction with Fire Department standards; drain- age including results of the 38th Street alignments possible signalization where needed with cost the responsibility of the developer; explanation of the proposed siltation control program; low- and moderate- income housing addressed; archaeological site pro- tection ; no parallel sewer proposed - construction to depend upon timing of Reach 3 of the coast trunk line; noise impacts; and issue of RV storage -- preferably with solution by project design. Commissioner Hazil : Sewers - only viable solution is construction of Reach 3 as a condition of approval ; 38th Street - impact on traffic and drainage; drainage system - Mr. ©azil noted that although this seems already to have been answered it must be included in writing in the F.IR: park needs must be addressed . Commissioner. Cohen : 38th Street precis: plan should be completed prior to consideration of Seacliff rV1 signalization where; required , paid for by the developer; parking must comply with code: an alternative to draining the project into the RolsA Chica should be considered; sewers should be started before the project is begun; park requirements must be met ; location of Product C closest to the eolsa Chica should be re-evaluated; and interior streets must meet all turning radius re- quirements of the Fire Department . Commissioner Finley- The proposed linear pt+rk must be addressed; the location of Product C nearest the bluffline may t adversely impact that linear park in the future. tt -9- 11-14-78 - PC
