Analysis: A. PROJECT PROPOSAL: Applicant: City of Huntington Beach, 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Location: City-wide Zoning Text Amendment No. 06-06 represents a request to: 1. Amend Chapter 203 Definitions, Section 203.06 to add a definition of vehicle storage, and 2. Amend Chapter 204 Use Classifications, Section 204.10.FF7 to clarify vehicle storage activity, and 3. Amend Chapter 231, Off-street Parking and Loading Provisions, Section 231,18E to clarify how non-residential parking and loading is intended to be utilized B. BACKGROUND In response to a court case involving code enforcement action addressing the storage of new vehicles by an auto dealer in a parking structure within the downtown, Planning staff was asked by the City Attorney's Office to process a zoning text amendment to define vehicle storage, to clarify vehicle storage activity, and to clarify how nonresidential parking and loading is intended to be utilized. -2- 11/7/2006 11:27 AM REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 11/20/2006 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL06-25 The following changes and additions are suggested: Section 203.06: Definitions Add section defining "Vehicle Storage" to read as follows: "The business of storing or safekeeping of operative and inoperative vehicles for periods of time greater than a 24 hour period." During the court proceedings, the issue of a definition of vehicle storage was raised by opposing counsel. In their brief, "vehicle storage" as defined in Section 211.04 is the "storage of operative or inoperative vehicles" and includes "storage lot for automobiles". Opposing counsel argued that this definition is too vague and fails to define "storage" in a manner that provides notice as to what type of activity violates the law. The definition proposed above, as reviewed and discussed with the City Attorney's Office, has been drafted to address the issues raised during the proceedings. Section 204.10.FF7 Commercial Use Classifications "Vehicle Storage" Modify this section to clarify vehicle storage activity: "Vehicle Storage. Storage of epeFative-er inoperative vehicles Th,S-cla`ssifiGat;^n ;nd, The Business of storing or safekeeping of operative and inoperative vehicles for periods of time greater than a 24 hour period, including but not limited to, the storage of parking tow-aways and impound yards, and storage lots for automobiles, trucks, buses, and recreational vehicles, but does not ORGlude including vehicle dismantling." These changes are also proposed in response to the arguments made during the court proceedings. 'Specifically, it was argued that the City's Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance made no mention of how long a vehicle must be present for it to constitute "vehicle storage". Therefore, as in the previous amendment, a time period of greater than 24 hours was included to address this issue. Section 231.18E Non-residential Parking and Loading: Designated Parking Add section to include the following language: "8. Parking spaces shall not be utilized or occupied by any other use or for any other purpose other than as parking for the associated on-site uses as required by this chapter, unless in compliance with Section 231.06, Joint Use Parking." This amendment is proposed to clarify how non-residential parking and loading spaces are intended to be utilized. This amendment, in conjunction with the other amendments,- provides an adequate definition and clarification of what uses are allowable in non- residential parking and loading spaces. -3- 11/7/2006 11:27 AM REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 11/20/2006 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL06-25 C. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING On September 26, 2006, the Planning Commission held a study session to review the proposed zoning text amendment. The Planning Commission public hearing was held on October 10, 2006, at which time Zoning Text Amendment No. 06-06 was approved. One person spoke in opposition of the item. The Planning Commission discussed the intent and purpose of the Zoning Text Amendment. D. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: The adoption of these amendments will eliminate or greatly reduce challenges to enforcement of these sections of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance on the grounds of vagueness and time periods, while clarifying the intended use of non- residential parking and loading spaces. Thus, Code Enforcement will be able to take effective action when a violation of these sections occurs. Environmental Status: The proposed zoning text amendment is categorically exempt pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 20, which supplements the California Environmental Quality Act.

PowerPoint Presentation -4- 11/7/2006 11:34 AM ATTACHMENT # 1 SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF APPROVAL SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL-ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 06-06: 1. Zoning Text Amendment No. 06-06 to amend various sections of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan because the amendment will give Code Enforcement Staff the ability to take effective measures which encourage compliance with the General Plan. By adding a definition of vehicle storage,clarifying vehicle storage activity, and stating the intended use of non-residential parking and loading, Code Enforcement can ensure that the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan are followed and effectively implemented. 2. In the case of a general land use provision, the zoning text amendment is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, the zoning district for which it is proposed. The amendment will apply to commercial, industrial, and mixed uses citywide. The amendment will create consistent development requirements for these uses in regards to vehicle storage, vehicle storage activity, and non-residential parking and loading. This amendment will aide in clearly defining the intended use of non- residential parking and loading spaces within these areas,thus eliminating or reducing confusion as to allowable uses. 3. A community need is demonstrated for the proposed zoning text amendment. The proposed changes will ensure existing and proposed vehicle storage activities and non- residential parking and loading spaces are used as intended and do not have negative impacts on the community by displacing parking and loading spaces outside of the associated, on-site use. 4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. The General Plan requires that buildings, parking and vehicular access be sited and designed to prevent adverse impacts on adjacent residential neighborhoods. The amendment will result in the City's enhanced ability to enforce the provisions of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance pertaining to vehicle storage, vehicle storage activities, and non-residential parking and loading. This enhanced enforcement ability will assist in ensuring adequate non-residential parking and loading spaces, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.

ISSUES: Subiect Property And Surroundinz Land Use,Zoninz And General Plan Desk-nations.- City Wide Commercial Regional, CO(Commercial Office), Various Commercial Visitor, CG(Commercial General) Commercial General, CV(Commercial Visitor), Commercial IG(General Industrial), Neighborhood, IL(Limited Industrial) Commercial Office, Industrial,Mixed Use, Mixed Use Horizontal, Mixed Use Vertical General Plan Conformance: The proposed Zoning Text Amendment is consistent with the goals,policies and implementation programs of the City's General Plan as follows: A. Land Use Element Goal LU 1: Achieve development that maintains or improves the City's fiscal viability and reflects economic demands while maintaining and improving the quality of life for the current and future residents of Huntington Beach. Policy L U 10.1.5: Require that buildings,parking and vehicular access be sited and designed to prevent adverse impacts on adjacent residential neighborhoods. Implementation Program I-L U 19: City of Huntington Beach codes and ordinances that implement the General Plan shall be enforced. The amendment will create consistent development requirements in regards to vehicle storage,vehicle storage activity, and non-residential parking and loading, clearly defining the intended use of non- residential parking and loading spaces within these areas, and eliminating or reducing confusion as to allowable uses. This will allow customers and residents to have ready, easy access to developments, which will encourage development that maintains or improves the City's fiscal viability and reflects PC Staff Report-10/10/06 2 (06sr49 ZTA 06-06) economic demands. This will lend towards maintaining and improving the quality of life for the current and future residents by ensuring parking and loading spaces are utilized only for the associated on-site uses. The clarification and definition provided by the zoning text amendment will assist in determining compliance with the General Plan,ensuring adequate non-residential parking and loading spaces, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan which will reduce parking impacts on adjacent residential neighborhoods. Further,the clarification and definition by the zoning text amendment of vehicle storage,vehicle storage activity and the intended use of non-residential parking and loading spaces,will enable the City to better determine compliance with the General Plan and take appropriate enforcement measures to ensure compliance. Urban Design Guidelines Conformance: Not applicable Environmental Status: The proposed zoning text amendment is categorically exempt pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 20,which supplements the California Environmental Quality Act. Coastal Status: Not applicable Redevelopment Status: Not applicable Design Review Board: Not applicable. Subdivision Committee: Not applicable. Other Departments Concerns and Requirements: The City Attorney's Office has worked with staff to define and clarify vehicle storage, vehicle storage activity, and the intended use of non-residential parking and loading spaces. Through this input, staff presented proposed changes for review to the City Attorney's Office. The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the proposed changes and has provided a draft ordinance. Public Notification: Legal notice was published in the Huntington Beach/Fountain Valley Independent on September 28, 2006, and notices were published in the newspaper in the form of a 1/8 page notice and sent to individuals/organizations requesting notification (Planning Department's Notification Matrix), as well as other interested parties. As of October 3, 2006,no communication supporting or opposing the request has been received. PC Staff Report—10/10/06 3 (06sr49 ZTA 06-06) Annlication Processini Dates: DATE OF COMPLETE APPLICATION: MANDATORY PROCESSING DATE(S): Not applicable Legislative Action ANALYSIS: In response to a court case involving code enforcement action addressing the storage of new vehicles by an auto dealer in a parking structure within the downtown, Planning staff was asked by the City Attorney's Office to process a zoning text amendment to define vehicle storage, to clarify vehicle storage activity, and to clarify how nonresidential parking and loading is intended to be utilized. The following changes and additions are suggested: Section 203.06:Definitions Add section defining"Vehicle Storage"to read as follows: "The business of storing or safekeeping of operative and inoperative vehicles for periods of time greater than a 24 hour period." During the court proceedings,the issue of a definition of vehicle storage was raised by opposing counsel. In their brief,"vehicle storage"as defined in Section 211.04 is the"storage of operative or inoperative vehicles"and includes"storage lot for automobiles". Opposing counsel argued that this definition is too vague and fails to define"storage in a manner that provides notice as to what type of activity violates the law. The definition proposed above,as reviewed and discussed with the City Attorney's Office,has been drafted to address the issues raised during the proceedings. Section 204.10.FF7 Commercial Use Classifications"Vehicle Storage" Modify this section to clarify vehicle storage activity: "Vehicle Storage. Storage of epe,- bve o ,-alive vehieios. This effilss fieatien ineludes The Business of storing or safekeeping of operative and inoperative vehicles for periods of time greater than a 24 hour period,including but not limited to,the storage of parking tow-aways and impound yards,and storage lots for automobiles,trucks,buses, and recreational vehicles,but does not inelude including vehicle dismantling.," These changes are also proposed in response to the arguments made during the court proceedings. Specifically,it was argued that the City's Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance made no mention of how long a vehicle must be present for it to constitute"vehicle storage". Therefore,as in the previous amendment, a time period of greater than 24 hours was included to address this issue. PC Staff Report—10/10/06 4 (06sr49 ZTA 06-06) ection 231.18E Non-residential Parking and Loading: Designated Parkiniz �dd section to include the following language: "8. Parking spaces shall not be utilized or occupied by any other use or for any other purpose other than as parking for the associated on-site uses as required by this chapter,unless in compliance with Section 231.06,Joint Use Parking." This amendment is proposed to clarify how non-residential parking and loading spaces are intended to be utilized. This amendment,in conjunction with the other amendments,provides an adequate definition and clarification of what uses are allowable in non-residential parking and loading spaces. The adoption of these amendments will eliminate or greatly reduce challenges to enforcement of these sections of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance on the grounds of vagueness and time periods,while clarifying the intended use of non-residential parking and loading spaces.Thus,Code Enforcement will be able to take effective action when a violation of these sections occurs.

Draft Ordinance with Legislative Draft-Chapter 204(Use Classifications) 4. Draft Ordinance with Legislative Draft Chapter 231 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Provisions) PC Staff Report—10/10/06 5 (06sr49 ZTA 06-06) ATTACHMENT NO. l SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF APPROVAL SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL-ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO.06-06: 1. Zoning Text Amendment No. 06-06 to amend various sections of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance is consistent with the goals,objectives and policies of the General Plan because the amendment will give Code Enforcement Staff the ability to take effective measures which encourage compliance with the General Plan. By adding a definition of vehicle storage,clarifying vehicle storage activity,and stating the intended use of non-residential parking and loading,Code Enforcement can ensure that the goals,objectives,and policies of the General Plan are followed and effectively implemented. 3. hi the case of a general land use provision,the zoning text amendment is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for,the zoning district for which it is proposed. The amendment will apply to commercial,industrial, and mixed uses citywide. The amendment will create consistent development requirements for these uses in regards to vehicle storage,vehicle storage activity, and non-residential parking and loading.This amendment will aide in clearly defining the intended use of non-residential parking and loading spaces within these areas,thus eliminating or reducing confusion as to allowable uses. 4. A community need is demonstrated for the proposed zoning text amendment. The proposed changes will ensure existing and proposed vehicle storage activities and non-residential parking and loading spaces are used as intended and do not have negative impacts on the community by displacing parking and loading spaces outside of the associated,on-site use. 5. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. The General Plan requires that buildings,parking and vehicular access be sited and designed to prevent adverse impacts on adjacent residential neighborhoods.The amendment will result in the City's enhanced ability to enforce the provisions of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance pertaining to vehicle storage,vehicle storage activities,and non-residential parking and loading. This enhanced enforcement ability will assist in ensuring adequate non-residential parking and loading spaces, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.

Sincerely, Joa Flynn City Clerk Attachment: findings for Approval-ZTA No. 06-06 c: Bill Zylla,Neighborhood Preservation Program Manager Scott Hess, Acting Director of Planning Herb Fauland, Principal Planner (Telephone:714-536-5227) r FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL -ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 06-06t 1. Zoning Text Amendment No. 06-06 to amend various sections of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan because the amendment will give Code Enforcement Staff the ability to take effective measures which encourage compliance with the General Plan. By adding a definition of vehicle storage, clarifying vehicle storage activity, and stating the intended use of non-residential parking and loading, Code Enforcement can ensure that the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan are followed and effectively implemented. 2. In the case of a general land use provision, the zoning text amendment is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, the zoning district for which it is proposed. The amendment will apply to commercial, industrial,and mixed uses citywide. The amendment will create consistent development requirements for these uses in regards to vehicle storage, vehicle storage activity, and non-residential parking and loading. This amendment will aide in clearly defining the intended use of non-residential parking and loading spaces within these areas, thus eliminating or reducing confusion as to allowable uses. 3. A community need is demonstrated for the proposed zoning text amendment. The proposed changes will ensure existing and proposed vehicle storage activities and non- residential parking and loading spaces are used as intended and do not have negative impacts on the community by displacing parking and loading spaces outside of the associated, on-site use: 4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. The General Plan requires that buildings, parking and vehicular access be sited anddesigned to prevent adverse impacts on adjacent residential neighborhoods. The amendment will result in the City's enhanced ability to enforce the provisions of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance pertaining to vehicle storage, vehicle storage activities, and non-residential parking and loading. This enhanced enforcement ability will assist in ensuring adequate non-residential parking and loading spaces, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.
