It is my understanding that Administration also was contacted regarding notifications of the 10/3/94 Public Hearing. I provided the attached mailing list prepared by a title company to the public. I informed the public that those property owners on the list were mailed notices the required ten days prior to the hearing and the handwritten addresses were mailed three days prior to the hearing. The three-day mailing occurred because a notice sent in the first mailing was returned by the Post Office and the Deputy City Clerk checked the returned envelope with the Assessor's Rolls in the Planning Department. She found a different address and she then checked all the Assessor's Parcel Nos. on the original list and sent to any names or addresses that were different than on the original list. The original list prepared by the title company is dated 1/25/94 and was sufficient for the first public hearing held 7/94. However,the list for the reconsideration hearing(October)was to have been updated as the new Assessor Rolls are available in the Planning Department since August, 1994. As two members of the public have made inquiries to this office and to Administration I am providing you with the above information and with the legal notice mailing list for the public hearing for your information as to the facts relative to the issue of notification of this hearing. . cc: Community Development Director City Council Members City Administrator j CAOUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING REQ*T SUBJECT: PEt. ff I OC-t2_ C-LAP-911-11) DEPARTMENT: MEETING: .................................. . ....

(see Attachment No. 10). ANALYSIS: History On December 20, 1993, the Huntington Beach City Council adopted Ordinance Nos. 3224, 3225 and 3227, amending Articles 908, 960 and 963 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, to include indoor swap meets/flea markets as a permitted temporary use in the commercial and industrial zones of the City, subject to approval of a conditional use permit. A summary of the code requirements are as follows: 1. Pursuant to Article 908, a swap meet is defined as an occasional, periodic or regularly scheduled market held within a building where groups of individual vendors offer goods for sale to the public. 2. Pursuant to Article 960, indoor swap meets require one parking space for every 100 square feet of gross floor area, except as may be modified by the Planning Commission through the Conditional Use Permit process, after submittal, review and approval of a traffic engineering study. 3. Pursuant to Article 963, indoor swap meets shall be permitted in the commercial and industrial zones as temporary uses only, for a period not to exceed ten (10)years. One year extensions of time may be granted after public hearing by the Planning Commission. 4. Pursuant to Article 963, the Planning Commission will consider the proposed site's proximity to residences, hospitals, other swap meets and businesses processing hazardous materials and the potential adverse impacts on traffic circulation and pedestrian safety. In addition, swap meet uses shall only be allowed on property located adjacent to arterial streets; the minimum gross building floor area shall be 100,000 square feet; and, ancillary uses may be permitted as included on the approved site plan. This project is the first such request to operate an indoor swap meet in the City. RCA7/5/94 2 G:RCA\CD94-37 Project Description The applicant is requesting to operate an indoor swap meet within a 212,500 square foot building which was previously occupied by Weiser Lock as an industrial use. Adjoining the building is a 51,000 square foot, two story office building that will be used on weekdays only. The building has been vacant since 1990. In 1990, the subject site was divided from the northern parcel as a result of Lot Line Adjustment No. 90-1. The project owner consents to the applicant's request to temporarily use the site as an indoor swap meet, until such time that a user can be secured for use of the site for manufacturing purposes. The building will be divided into individual spaces for 325 vendors. The spaces will be generally 430 square feet in size. The applicant has included a sample list of vendors and their products which includes such items as jewelry, clothing, tools, electronics, office supplies, pet supplies, furniture and arts and crafts (Attachment No. 7). Also requested are indoor activities such as carnival type games, clowns, Santa Claus, children dance shows and other similar events often seen at malls. Food services would also be available and would include the sales of beer and wine. The swap meet would be open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays only, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Loading would take place on Fridays only, between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. It is anticipated that there will be up to 700 total people employed for the vendors and operations of the building. Parking: There are 1,320 parking stalls on the subject site which serve the 212,500 square foot industrial building and an adjacent 51,000 square foot vacant office building. Combined, these uses require 2,329 parking stalls, at a rate of one space per 100 square feet of gross floor area for the swap meet and one space per 250 square feet for the office space. The applicant is proposing to reduce the required parking to an overall rate of one space per 299 square feet of gross floor area, or at one space per 161 square feet, excluding the office space. The applicant has stated that the property owner has confirmed the office will not be occupied during the hours of operation of the swap meet; therefore, the applicant has excluded the calculation of office space in the requested parking ratio. A condition is included that requires an agreement to be recorded on the property to assure that the office will not be used during swap meet hours. RCA7/5/94 3 G:RCA\CD94-37 As required by code, the applicant has submitted a traffic engineering study, conducted by Paul E. Cook and Associates (Attachments 3 & 4)to accompany his request for a reduction in parking. The findings of the report suggest that the applicant's requested parking rate of one space per 161 square feet exceeds the typical peak parking demand of one space per 250 square feet for swap meets, based on studies including the Orange County Fairgrounds swap meet. In addition, the study finds that the two major entrances (one is on McFadden Avenue opposite Commerce Lane and the other is on Graham Street opposite Commercial Drive)to the site will be able to adequately accommodate the peak hour (9:00 AM- 10:00 AM)volumes of vehicles entering either driveway on summer weekends. The City's Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the above studies and has no objection to the request for a reduction in the amount of required parking. The applicant has also offered the following to support the request for reduced parking: 1. Approximately 46% of the building (118,000 square feet)will be leased, resulting in a parking ratio of one space per ninety square feet of gross leasable area; 2. Approximately 4.5 parking spaces will be provided for each average 430 square foot booth. 3. The applicant presently operates several other swap meets and is confident that the provided parking will adequately service the use. 4. The applicant has also provided a designated employee and vendor parking area located at the rear(east side) of the building in order to facilitate more proximal parking for the public. A designated loading area is also provided at the east side of the building to enable the public to load purchases of any large or heavy items, without impeding the movement of traffic or pedestrians at the front of the building. In comparison, the Anaheim Market Place swap meet operates within a 433,000 square foot building, and has approximately 2,393 on-site parking spaces, at a rate of one (1) space for every 182 square feet of gross building area. Planning Staff talked with the City of Anaheim's staff in April of 1994, and they reported no significant concerns or complaints regarding the swap meet operation, and have had no problems with the amount of on-site parking spaces. I I RCA7/5/94 4 G:RCA\CD94-37 ICI n Special Permit: The applicant is also requesting that 47 of the 1,320 parking spaces (3.5 %), located on the site, be permitted to be compact sized. Section 9606.3 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code states that non-residential developments with a minimum of twenty(20) spaces shall be permitted to have twenty(20) percent of the total spaces as compact parking, provided the compact spaces are distributed throughout the parking area, have the same aisle width as full size spaces, and are marked "compact" on the foot of the stall. The request complies with the above code requirements; therefore, staff recommends approval of the Special permit. In addition, the granting of the special permit will not adversely affect the circulation or safety of the use and sites, nor will it be detrimental to the welfare or convenience of the users of the site. Trash Trash will be collected in a 76" wide by 26' long trash compactor located adjacent to the east side of the building. The vendors will access the compactor from inside the building and the trash will be picked up on a regular schedule. A maintenance crew will operate the trash system. General Plan Advisory Committee The General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) has made recommendations concerning the conceptual land use policies for the updated City of Huntington Beach General Plan. GPAC has recommended that the functional role of the land use for the subject site remain as an industrial business park, to facilitate businesses with large parcel needs including manufacturing and other heavy industries. Recommended permitted uses include light industrial warehousing, manufacturing, heavy industrial, industrial office, and supporting commercial services, restaurants and unclassified uses. It is GPAC's intent to continue to provide job/employment opportunities for this industrial land use area. The proposed swap meet is considered an unclassified use type of business, with large parcel needs. As such, the use is consistent with GPAC's land use recommendation for the site. Fiscal Anal The City is in the process of adopting an ordinance to amend the Huntington Beach Municipal Code pertaining to Business License tax rates. If approved, the swap meet will generate an annual revenue of at least $200,000 in fees for the City. The applicant provided written consent of complying with such payment of Business License fees (Attachment No. 9). RCA7/5/94 5 G:RCA\CD94-37 Police Department Review The applicant operates several other indoor swap meet businesses in other states, including one in Florida which is similar to this request in terms of size and type of vendors and products. The Police Department investigated the Florida operation and discovered no police problems.. They have, however, expressed their concern with potential problems associated with crowds and with the sales of beer and wine. The following is their recommended conditions to address their concerns: a. The applicant should provide adequate on-site security provisions; b. If approved, this C.U.P. should be reviewed every six months to evaluate compliance with codes and conditions; and, C. Alcohol promotion sales (i.e. two dollar pitchers, one dollar glasses) should be prohibited. Planning Commission Action During the Planning Commission public hearing of May 17, 1994, five persons addressed the Commission. The authorized agent, Richard Harlow, explained the history of the site and the proposed use. Jim Connors, of the Masco Corporation (property owner), expressed the benefits of the proposed use, particularly the $200,000 annual revenue for the City. Bill Peters of CB Commercial Realtors stated that no economically viable inquiries have been received for the site and further explained the benefits of the proposed ten year swap meet use.. Leonard Nadler and Aaron Latt, of Leonard Nadler Associates representing"RSI Home Products" explained that their request to lease the subject site for manufacturing and warehousing purposes was not considered by Masco Corporation, owner of the site. Following considerable discussion regarding RSI's request to use the site for manufacturing purposes, the compatibility of the proposed use with the surrounding industrial area and the duration (ten years) of the proposed use, the Planning Commission denied the application. The Planning Commission's reasons for denial include the following: a. The proposed use is not consistent with the General Plan land use designation of General Industrial; b. The proposed use is not consistent with the intent and purpose of the MI- A(Restricted Manufacturing) industrial zoning classification for the location; and, RCA7/5/94 6 G:RCA\CD94-37 C. Approval of the proposed use will be detrimental to the industrial base of the City as it eliminates the building for industrial purposes for ten (10) years. Appeal Councilman Bauer filed an appeal (Attachment No. 1)to the Planning Commission's denial. He believes that the proposed use will increase sales tax revenue for the City by stimulating business activity in the surrounding area, and by creating permanent retail businesses throughout the City. Councilman Bauer also states that the proposed use will provide an estimated $200,000 annually to the City through Business License fees. Summary: The request to operate an indoor swap meet within an existing 212,500 square foot vacant industrial building is the first such request in the City. The request is pursuant to the newly adopted amendments to Articles 908, 960 and 963 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, which includes swap meets as a temporary permitted use in the industrial zones subject to approval of a conditional use permit. Numerous surveys and studies, as well as a tremendous amount of research were conducted by Staff in an effort to draft provisions included in the above code amendment to ensure compatibility with, and to minimize potential adverse effects to, surrounding land uses, and to protect the health, safety and general welfare of persons living or working in the vicinity. The submitted request meets the provisions as required by the code, and as such, Staff is recommending approval. Staffs recommendation is based on the fact that no conflicts of compatibility of land uses are anticipated, as the site location is adequately distanced (at least 1,500 feet from all directions) from residences, schools, hospitals and other noise sensitive uses. In addition, traffic studies have been presented and reviewed by staff which indicate that the amount of on-site parking spaces and the site's ingress and egress areas will adequately service the demand of the proposed use. Coastal Status: Not applicable Redevelopment Status Not applicable RCA7/5/94 7. G:RCA\CD94-37 Environmental Status: The proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to Class 1, Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act, because the use is an operation of an existing structure. FUNDING SOURCE: Not applicable ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The City Council may make the following alternative motion: A.

I PAUL E. COOK AND ASSOCIATES _ - TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING April 11, 1994 Kelli Klan T- Assistant Planner Department of Community Development Citv of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92645 Re: Parking Study. Indoor Swap Meet, Conditional Use Permit No. 94-10 Dear Ms. Klan. Per your request, Paul E. Cook and Associates has prepared the following parking study for an indoor swap meet on the former Weiser Lock site in the vicinity of MacFadden Avenue and Graham Street. Paul E. Cook-and Associates is a traffic engineering firm specializing in transportation planning and traffic engineering. Paul E. Cook has over 30 years of traffic engineering experience and-is a registered Traffic Enineer in the State of California Background The project consists of a 275 booth indoor s\A?ap meet within a 212,520 square foot building. On-site parking consists of 1.363 spaces. Parking Demand Parking demand was estimated based on current city codes for retail uses: a parking study for the Orange County Fairgrounds which includes seasonal weekend swap meets: and parking studies by members of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. -i. Section 9602.2(R) of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code rewires retail uses not otherwise specified, including department stores, arcades, arid food and beverage establishments willf 12 seats or less to have 1-parking space for each 200 square feet of gross floor area. This section of the code is the most applicable to the subject use. u,mtinvtnn Reach. California ()2649 (714) ()60-R2()R 2-. A traffic and parking study for the Orange-County Fairgrounds was conducted by Greer and Company, Traffic Engineers and Planners, in April,=1991. -T;!iis - study showed that the swap meet held on weekends on a portion of-the Fairgrounds parking tot created a }beak demand of one parking space for each 250 square feet of �(,ross land area and a typical demand of one space per each 300 square feet. These parking demands were conducted on spring and summer weekends at one the most popular swap meets in southern California. 3. The Transportation and Land Development Handbook published in 1988 by the Institute of Transportation Engineers includes the results of a study for the Urban Land Institute (ULI) by Barton-Aschman Associates, together with data from the Institute of Transportation Engineers. which su«gests the followingT parking indices for stand-alone uses: 1 space per 200 square feet of gross leaseable floor area (GLA) for shopping centers over 600.000 square feet. 1 space per 222 square feet of GLA for centers having 400,000 to 600,000 square feet. 1 space per 250 square feet of GLA for centers having 25,000 to 400,000 square feet. Project Site The project site is a 212,520 square foot building with 1,363 on-site parking spaces for a ratio of one space per 156 square feet of gross floor area. This parking supply far exceeds any of the aforementioned measuring devices. With regard to the ITE studies, the subject project's gross leasable floor area (GLA) is 118,120 square feet. Therefore. the ratio of parking spaces to GLA is one space per 87 square feet. Find The findings of this study based on the existing parking supply for the subject project as compared to the expected parking demand using the three comparison methods in this study show an excess in supply over.demand,,,_, 1. The project supplies 1 space per 156 square feet of PX6ss floor area as compared to the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code requirement of l space per 200 square feet. 2: The project- supplies-1 space per 156 square-feet compared to a study showing an Orange-County swap.meet demand of-1. space per 250 to-300 square feet. 3. The project supplies 1 space per 87 square feet of gross leaseable area (GLA) compared to a maximum demand of 1 space per 200 square feet of GLA based on Institute of Transportation Engineers studies.

Fiii Nill" StUJ . hi Jool J�'ap lYleet, Conditional Use Permit No. 94-10 Dear Bruce. Per your request, the following is an analysis of the capabilities of the entrances to the parking lot for the subject indoor swap meet to handle peak hour demands. Orange County .Swap Meet Studv_ In 1988, Greer and Company conducted traffic counts of vehicles entering and exiting the parking lots for the Orange County swap meet held on weekends at the Orange County Fairgrounds. The•peak hour entrance demands as compared in percentage to the total daily entrance demands were as follows: Saturday, August 6, 1988 - Peak hour was 11.3% of total from 9:OOAM to l O:00A.M. - Sunday, August 7, 1988 - Peak hour was 11.6% of total from 8:00 AM to 9:OOAM. S_­t;:rda;', Septe.^.:her 24, 1994 - Peal; hour was 10.6% of total from 9:OOAM to 10:00AM. For purposes of this study, we have assumed that 11.5% is a reasonable peak hour percentage for vehicles entering a swap meet as compared to the daily total. Proposed Huntington Beach Indoor Swap Meet____ The total projected daily volume entering the subject project on a summer weekend is 3,500 to 3,800 vehicles. The total entering volumes for the peak hour would be approximately 425. This was based on-two methods of calculation. Al The first is comparing the square footage of this indoor swap meet with the approximate total dedicated to the Orange County swap meet. The subject building consists of 212,500 square feet and the Orange County swap meet covers 1,067,000 square feet. The total daily entering volume for the fairgrounds averaged 17,516 for the above three days. This would equate to approximately 3.500 total enterina volumes for the Huntinyuton Beach site. The total entering. volumes for the peak hour would be approximately 400 under this method of calculation. The second method is an estimate by the operator of total daily.weekend visitors to the site. This is based on counts conducted at other Swap meets that the applicant operates. Based on their experience, daily visitors will be about 8,000 during the peak summer weekends at this swap meet. Although the operator experiences 2.6 persons per vehicle at his other locations, we have assumed 2.12 persons per vehicle as the Greer study showed at the fairgrounds site. This would equate to approximately 3.800 total vehicles entering daily and approximately 435 during the peak hour. Finding This project will have two major entrances to the parking lot for the swap meet.- As shown on the enclosed site plan, one is on-McFadden Avenue opposite Commerce Lane and the other is on Graham Street opposite Commercial Drive. Both of these entrances are currently developed to shopping center standards. Assuming that the peak hour entering volumes will be approximately evenly divided between the two entrances, there will be only 200 to 250 vehicles entering either driveway during the peak hour probably between 9:00 AM and 10:00AM on summer weekends. Since traffic is extremely light in this industrial area at this time, it is our finding that traffic will flow very smoothly into the parking lot at these two entrances.

The objectives were to determine potential revenue to the city,job creation and impacts on land use planning. The findings are summarized as follows: Summary: From the financial viewpoint of the city, swap meets should not be considered as substantial generators of sales tax, property tax, new jobs, or business license tax unless the city is very aggressive in its fees or very lucky in its operation.. For example, sales tax from the indoor swap meets that staff reviewed do not exceed $35,000 annually. _ However, the large and successful outdoor swap meet at the Orange County Fairground - generates-between $200,000 to $300,000 annually to Costa Mesa and the one at Goldenwest College contributes up to $82,000 annually in sales and business license taxes for Huntington Beach. The city of Paramount uses its business license tax to generate substantial revenue from its outdoor swap meet, while other cities have only nominal charges. Employment at swap meets is generally on weekends only and probably is part- time or self-employed; however, in these economic conditions, these may.be important income sources for small and start up retail businesses. Sales Tax: Usually thought of as the primary benefit to a city from a swap meet, the actual revenues received from indoor or outdoor swap meets vary substantially, but overall is minimal when compared to more traditional retail. Staff investigated six (6)indoor swap meets, -none of which generated more than $35,000 annually in sales tar.: -'--i:,esi-ct ve city, with the average being probably one-half of that (see attached chart). Staff also reviewed three(3) outdoor swap meets. Two of these three, San Fernando's and Goldenwest, generated local sales tax of about S50,000 each annually, and the other, the swap meet at the Orange County Fairgrounds, may generate between S200,000 and $300,000 annually for Costa Mesa(the actual number is difficult to determine as all events at the Fairgrounds are reported-under the same address for sales tak-purposes). - Property Tax: _ There is really no substantial impact on property tax revenue to be generated through swap meets, especially as these will be temporary uses and very little will be done in building improvements. There is an opportunity cost to consider since approval of a swap meet for a site will fempora.rily preclude industrial development and the potential for higher property taxes in the interim. Jobs: A swap meet does involve jobs, most often part-time employment. Additionally, many of the smaller vendors will be self-employed persons who also operate other businesses or hold other jobs during the week The Planning Division reports booth sizes ranging from 96 to 530 square feet per vendor, with the average being 200 square feet. This would compute to an average of 50 vendors at the 10,000 square foot minimum building size being proposed in the new ordinance;therefore, at least 50 persons working, and probably more as most booths have a second employee. A typical swap meet will also employ additional.persons for traffic control, security, administration and food service. Industrial Vacancv rater One reason the indoor swap meet ordinance is being proposed is to allow temporary use of vacant industrial buildings with the hope that in five years or so the industrial demand for these buildings will be strong enough to support industrial uses. We have been advised that a recent report by CB Commercial shows the follwAring vacancies for buildings of over 10,000 square feet. Huntington Beach: 16.47% Orange County: 13.58% In terms of building space in the city, this industrial vacancy rate equates to 308,362 square feet available for lease, 637,558 square feet available for sale, and 745,534 square feet available for lease or sale(just in buildings of 10,000 square feet and larger). We have beer told this is the highest vacancy rate for the city in recent_rr.e�^nory and that a significant portion of our vacancy is due to downsizing by McDonnell Douglas. Another factor to be considered is the availability of alternative, similar buildings (or vacant land sites on which comparable buildings could be built) to those which may be used for swap meets. For example, the city may currently have dozens of small vacant buildings but perhaps only one or two vacant buildings in excess of 200,000 square feet. I! -Considering.all swap meets, the-annual city-share of sales tax ranged from $35 to $222 per vendor. Because of the variation in hours of operation, size of booths,types of vendors;:. and the confidential nature of sales taxes and related business information, these estimates of sales tax have a high degree of uncertainty. Utilizing these estimates, however, a swap meet in a 10,000 square foot building may generate $2,000 to $11,000 in annual city sales tax revenue, with a 200,000 square foot swap meet raising between $12,000 and $75,000 annually. Overall, with the historically low reporting of income from swap meets, a substantial level of sales tax revenue is very uncertain unless the swap meet operator guarantees a minimum amount. Business License Tax: This is traditionally the other major revenue source to cities from swap meets. The city of Huntington Beach received approximately $31,000 last year from the Goldenwest swap meet. This revenue came from 406 vendors who purchased a $75.00 annual business ' license and the College who paid $435 to cover "casual" vendors. Revisions to the business license ordinance are currently being considered to include this swap meet, ` special events such as Pierfest, and charitable and non-profit events such as the Sugar Plum Village. That revision would include a payment from the operator on a sliding scale depending upon the number of booths, as well as a$1.00 per space per day "casual " fee for persons not wishing to pay the annual $75.00. Indoor.swap meets could come under this proposed ordinance, or could be included in a separate category. For example, the City of Paramount collects $2.00 per space daily without providing the option of a lower, annual rate similar to our$75.00 annual fee. Conversely, the city could charge all vendors the annual $75.00 fee without the daily rate option. Collection of all such fees would be made the responsibility of the swap meet operator, with the city incurring some monitoring costs. . Operator's Guarantee: Because of the uncertainty of sales tax revenue, an operator may guarantee a level of revenue to the host city. While the proposed ordinance does not address this matter, Mr. Tremblay, who operates swap meets in at least five locations in the United States and Canada and who hopes to open an indoor swap.meet at the former c►ser Lori:facility, has indicated that he will guarantee $200,000 as part of his future conditional use permit (see attached letter). Security for the guarantee is undetermined at this time. As this payment could probably not be a condition of the CUP, a separate contractual agreement would be required. Accordingly, this factor may need to be watched closely if and when the city finds itself reviewing CUP'S for.specific sites._ Land Use-Conflicts: Would the permitting of indoor swap meets in industrial areas cause an atmosphere which . would be detrimental to other industrial businesses in the area? The city has recently seen concerns raised by at least one existing industrial business as to the inclusion of certain non-industrial uses into an industrial area, so its impossible to predict how adjacent businesses may feel about a swap meet. However, many swap meets operate on weekends when most industrial businesses are closed. Furthermore, the City would be able to review and deny the conditional use permit for a specific application if it were judged as adversely impacting an area.

The attached graph illustrates those that we reviewed. They are: 1. Anaheim Indoor Market Place 1440 S. Anaheim Boulevard Anaheim 2. Covina Indoor Swap Meet 422 W. Arrow Highway Covina -3.

Santa Ana Indoor Swap Meet 3412 Westminster Avenue Santa Ana One thought on improving the taxable sales might be to create a specialty swap center restricted to a specific family of merchandise such as computers and software or cameras and photographic equipment. Another way to create substantial revenues in a relatively small area is factory outlet centers. The Citadel Mall in Commerce and the new outlet center in San Marcos are examples of smaller outlet centers in metro areas that are doing well.

I want to go on record in opposition to the proposed conditional use permit. My partners and I are the owners of nine industrial buildings in the Huntington Beach industrial park area. We have buildings on McFadden, Industrial Drive, Electronic Lane and Oceanus, all of which are in the vicinity of the proposed location of the indoor swap meet. It is my opinion that the use of 5555 McFadden for an indoor swap meet with cheapen and deteriorate the quality of the industrial park area, will create traffic congestion and is not consistent with the uses that are in the area, will overburden the parking and is generally undesirable. In short, my partners and I are totally opposed to this use and we hope that the application is rejected.

My principal objection its that traffic will be greatly increased on McFadden Avenue, especially through the residential area between Bolas Chica Road and Graham Street. This section of residential street now carries. excess vehicles' including many heavy truck/trailer rigs per hour. Policing has been infrequent and ineffectual. I predict that the larger portion- of customers of the proposed will utilize Bolsa Chica Road and McFadden Avenue to arrive at the proposed 1320-car parking lot. No additional traffic noise, dust, and' danger to pedestrians should be tolerated by the establishment of this.-swap meet having dubious social value. Further, I cannot be made to' believe that such a swap meet in this location can ever become an economically viable enterprise. Why annoy and endanger our citizens-residents, and cheapen our neighborhood, to profit only the enterprise promoters? Si cerely Wa a C. McGinnis.

I own a total of six buildings in the general area including the adjacent property at 5731 and 5771 McFadden Avenue. I am an active broker, developer and owner of commercial property and have been in the business for over twenty-five years. It has been my experience that this particular use has always produced negative side effects. It is my opinion that it attracts patrons and traffic which are of a character that you would like to avoid in an industrial park setting. There have been a number of incidents of vandalism in the industrial area of Huntington Beach in the last year with the frequency definitely increasing. I realize that it is very difficult to generalize, however, there is no doubt in my mind that this use generates a negative image in the minds of business people and it will serve as an impediment in trying to attract major companies to the industrial park. . Swap meets in many areas have served as the means to solicit buyers of drugs and contraband. I strongly urge the City to seriously reconsider this application and to reject it.

Please consider the following comments in making a determination regarding the subject permit for establishing a swap meet in my neighborhood: - I am 100% against establishment of a swap meet anywhere between Bolsa Chica St. and Springdale St. that is south of Bolsa Ave. and north Edinger Ave. , including of course McFadden Ave. in this area. - I believe that most of the residents in neighborhoods in this area have the same opinion that I have for the following reasons: 1 ) Traffic on McFadden Ave. in the residential area east of the Manufacturing District has ALREADY far exceeded desirable levels - the cumulative effect of vendors such as Federal Express, conversion of the Robinwood Elementary School into a community college, ILLEGAL heavy trucking, and vehicles operating at unsafe speeds have taken there toll on housing values and the SAFETY OF CHILDREN City studies conducted more than 15 years ago indicated that additional measures would soon be needed to restrict traffic flow on McFadden Ave. (east of the manufacturing district) so as to preserve its residential character. Unfortunately, things have only gotten worse since then (the closure of Tasman Dr. to south-bound traffic on Bolsa Chica St. diverted more traffic to McFadden Ave. , and the inadequate truck limitation signs do little to keep commercial traffic from using McFadden Ave. in the residential area) . 2 ) Non-residents are finding their way into our neighborhood in increasing numbers due to the increased activity in the manufacturing district and the community college at Robinwood school - often bringing with them their graffiti culture; the swap meet can only make this problem worse. 13 am I realize that in spite of comments such as those above, the subject permit may still be approved. Should the permit be approved please consider the area residents enough so that appropriate limitations are placed upon swap meet operators. Limitations should include but not be limited to: 1 ) Prohibition of ALL alcoholic beverage sales for immediate consumption (presently alcoholic beverage sales are allowed by the permit application) 2 ) Appropriate security requirements in terms of law enforcement personnel (many non-profit activities in the City are required to supply significant levels of security at their own expense - the swap meet should not be exempted from similar requirements ) 3 ) Hours of Operation: Hours of operation should be carefully regulated, specifically they should not be allowed to open before 9 :00 am (except Sunday not before Noon) and be closed no later than 5 :00 pm. In closing, I implore you to put the reasonable concerns of the residents of this city above inappropriate development proposals, if you don't, our neighborhoods (one at a time) will be degraded until their good citizens are forced to find more compassionate cities to live in. Please find another location for the swap meet. Sincerely, Martin F. Golden May 23, 1991 v The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members The City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Dear City Council and Mayor: 'I was recently shocked and s,irnrised to discover that a proposed Swap Meet operation is beir:_ avorably considered by City Planning and the City Council to he ;anted a special use permit to operate in Huntington Beach. I only discovered this action by accident, while watching Channel 3's coverage of the May 17 City Planning Meeting. I was pleased to see the vote to approve be denied; however, it is apparent that this vote will be appealed, and that it is likely to pass through City Council action. In the past few days, I have talked to several people who said that several notices were sent to entities that would be affected by the swap meet -- but I never saw one, and I have to wonder how much effort was made to find out if there was any opposition to this project. I have also talked to several major retailers, and to Golden West College, who also state they knew nothing about the swap meet proposal, and are concerned about the impact it trill have on their business. As a resident, and representative for the Huntington Beach Mall, I believe the action to re-zone the industrial land use to provide a swap meet for (up to) ten years, is going to do far more harm t�' •n any good that could come of it. I have been a part of the General -Plan Update process for quite soma time, and am aware that the area immediately surrounding, the Huntington Beach Mali is dedicated to retail use for future operat:Lons. T am very- happy to know that we will be adding to the retail-mix n the. years to come, as this -sill make for a strong destination shopping area that will increase sales by attracting a large shopper base that N^uld support the established businesses. As we read the ne-.:: -:bout businesses moving out of our - taking jobs that are vita . tr our economic health, 4t is impe: ive that we preserve one of the last remaining options in Huntington P-rach to attract a large ­iployer to operate their bu--4ness here. T underst-and that there are Ly six (6) building in the range County area tat could accommodat _ :n --oloy_P,r of 35Q-400 people, ` two (2) of d `•inued. . . . HUNTINC-TON BEACH P '.:.� .f Swap Meet a osai Page: 2 those buildings are in Huntington Beach. With that in mind, I cannot believe that we won't see significant interest to occupy one or both buildings in the near future. Even with the slow economic recovery, it seems that ten years is much too long a time to take our industrial land that is available and turn it into a swap meet. While I am not 100% sure of the impact a swap meet would have on our community, I do have serious concerns that should be addressed. I have briefly listed those concerns, as follows: *The strap meet would "siphon-off" sales from existing merchants in North Huntington Beach, and surrounding communities, without increasing sales tax revenue for the City. *The swap meet would result in a loss of jobs for retailers, and potential closu of retail operations. It is very difficult now for business to stay -fin while we re-cover from the economy, and while the mail and local retailers are working to bring in new merchants - the swap meet would drive sales even more in the red and may make the difference between paying .the bills and staying open, or having to close the doors. *The sale of alcoholic beverages seems to be a "double standard" for Huntingtc tea, It's not allowed on the beach or major events, but ^K for sale during a weekend swap meet that would attract thousands 01. :ople. *The impact on Golden West College -- their swap meet generates approximately $600,000 in revenue from rental fees. It is likely they will 'use vendors to the swap meet, and therefore much needed income for their college programs. *The question of reporting actual sales to government agencies seems to be more difficult to tract when you have 300-32a independent vendors operating under one roof. Will we really collect all tax dollars that are generated? In closing, I would like to request that the City Council postpone scheduled vote to approve the proposed swap meet temporary use permit until you have taken the time to discuss the economic impact with local retailers and Golden West College. I would like to discuss this at your convenience, and will be happy to assist you with making a_r­-:,.--ements to meet with other representatives from the area. I can be reached at: (714) 897--2533.

We moved into this area in 1978 and have enjoyed your city. It has come to our attention a CUP for a swap meet may be approved on the Weiser Lock facility. At this point , I would like to let you know of our significant disapproval of this use on that property. We presently lease a facility adjacent to the Weiser Lock facility. It is our feeling a swap meet will bring many people to this business/industrial area at a time when our buildings are unoccupied such as weekends. Swap meets have been known to attract a bad element and at times may bring people to this area who are interested in things other than enjoying the swap meet. We feel our facility will be a target for vandals attracted to this area by the swap meet . I feel the Swap meet held at Golden West College is more than adequate for this area. We are presently lessees in this facility. Our lease is nearing termination. We are hopeful we can purchase a facility in this area. Your approval of a swap meet will guarantee our leaving the City of Huntington Beach. Myself and my associates, two who live in the City are also opposed and have asked me to voice their negative vote against this swap meet use in our business area.

We are very concerned, because our property is directly across the street from this site(15522 Computer Lane). We are a very small family business and we have a tenant in the other half of our building. We are very concerned that you would allow weekend swap meets in this MI Industrial area. Have you ever driven through this area on Saturday or Sunday afternoon? It is virtually deserted of people and workers. We have had much crime in this area, and the break-ins always occur on the weekends. This area is composed of small mom-and?op industry and we do not work the weekends. We are not there to protect our property against thousands of non locals coming to some kind of a swap meet. We are most worried about the crime element attracted to a swap meet. Have you visited a similar indoor swap meet that was built on the NE comer of Harbor Blvd. and Warner? That swap meet leased a new building and after 5 years the building is very dirty and the area all around has deteriorated and there are vagrants. Please keep this in mind....a swap meet will deteriorate this nice industrial area of Huntington Beach. We want our industrial area to look nice(like Twine's)and be clean and safe from crime. Bringing in 2000 cars and people will just bring in problems. These people are not coming to this area to work, they are just coming to see what they can get....and that leads to loitering and trouble. Thank you, PaqXela J. Fast James A.

This seems to be a unwise use of such a large and useful building. Would you please consider not giving the Use Permit for the Swap Meet. Thank You, W. R. Nelson Director of Administration if QMARKSMAN® Beeman . 5482 Argosy Drive • Huntington Beach, CA 92649, USA 714/898-7535 FAX 714/891-0782 / 714/383-8550 June 24, 1994 The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Re: Conditional Use Permit for the former Weiser Lock Facility as a "Swap Meet" Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council Members: I realize in this time of tight budgets and revenues that it'is only natural that you seek alternative ways to use existing facilities and resources to create additional revenue for the City. However, we must always ask ourselves, "What long term tradeoffs must be made in order to entertain short term benefits?" As a 16 year resident of Huntington Beach and a business owner/operator in Huntington Beach since 1989, 1 must express my grave reservations over turning the former Weiser Lock facility into a Swap Meet. This decision, in my opinion and the opinion of other business operators in the area, will undermine property values and increase the potential problems of vandalism, graffiti, and traffic problem for adjacent businesses. It will bring many people into the area, some of whom will be the wrong element. Long term it will lead to the decline of, what presently is, one of only two commercial in-fill business parks between Long Beach and Irvine. We are a growing $20M/year international business that was recently a recipient of the Orange County Entrepreneur of the Year Award. We are currently considering the purchase of a 55,000 square foot location nearby our present location. Both are very near the Weiser lock facility. Our decision to stay in the area will be predicated on the City's ability to work with us on making a smooth transition to our new site (due to the improvements we intend to make) and whether the Weiser lock facility is used as a Swap Meet site. Although both myself and our employees enjoy our current site, there are other alternatives in Fountain Valley and the IBC that meet our needs. I am sure you realize the value of business operators that are committed as "long term residents" in providing jobs and creating wealth for the community. It is my opinion that Huntington Beach would be much better off, if we could attract a major company that would impact the general economic climate by creating jobs and opportunities in the wake of diminishing activity at McDonnell Douglas. I hopeful that each of you will carefully weigh the long term implications of this decision carefully. Thank you for taking the time to consider my comments and views.

O��;C Dear Councilman: My wife and I are residents and land owners of Huntington Beach and are concerned with the proposal for an indoor swap meet here in our city. Our primary reason for Living in Huntington Beach is we like the small quiet feel of the city. With completion of an indoor swapmeet we feel increased traffic and the influx of people from neighboring cities will distract from the quiet community that we enjoy. We realize the city relies heavily on the amount of sales tax generated within the city, but , the type of people who will :be shopping at the swapmeet will not venture into our other shopping areas. Efforts to increase city revenue should be directed towards our dying shopping mall , Huntington Center , rather than an indoor swapmeet. If our mall continues to decline as it has for several years maybe the city should consider converting the mall into a new car auto plaza. Auto plazas are very popular with todays price conscious shoppers and new car sales produce very large amounts of income for the participating cities. In closing I would like to reiterate that We oppose the plans for an indoor swapmeet in our city and hope you would reconsider your positi-on. I would appreciate a response regarding your opinion on this issue. Thank you, J f Coffman 6761 Red Coach Drive Huntington Beach, Ca. 92647 D{, ; Jr 51994 June 30 , 1994 CITq OF Fi 'Jf�! -�"�.;;CH. The Honorable Mayor and City Council CITY CO3jla,,_ OFFICE City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Re: "SWAP MEET" at 5555 McFadden Ave. Dear Mayor and City Council , I am a small business owner. We are located in close proximity to 5555 McFadden Ave. I am strongly opposed to the location of a SWAP Meet at that address for the following reasons : 1) Huntington Beach already has a large SWAP Meet at Golden West College. 2) We have experienced crime/vandalism of our industrial site. The influx of people to a SWAP Meet in this area could only increase this problem. 3) We leased the space we currently use with full assurance that this was an industrial area (only) . It has been noted that several current businesses are holding "weekend" sales. The broken beer bottles and fast food litter are now showing up on our street and property. Mixing a SWAP Meet and large volume direct consumer sales into a well organized specialty industrial park is not a good idea. We for one are already seriously considering moving out of the area (and perhaps out of the state) . The problems created by a SWAP Meet "just around the corner" may be enough to push us out !

The purpose of this letter is to register our strongest disagreement with this possibility. It is our belief that using this property as a "swap meet" will cause several problems. Some of these problems are: ✓ Very heavy traffic loads in excess of the current street design ✓ Inadequate water and sanitary facilities for the large crowds that might attend ✓ Increased vandalism and crime in an area that is predominantly light manufacturing and residential ✓ Safety and hazardous materials infractions from using a facility in a way that is different from the original design ✓ Use of the property as a "Swap Meet" site will seriously degrade it in a short time. From an opposition viewpoint, we see the now empty facility at 5555 McFadden as a tremendous opportunity: ✓ It is one of the largest available manufacturing sites in Orange County. ✓ It is located in a highly desirable location serviced by a sound infrastructure. 15542 Chemical Lane, Huntington Beach, Calif., 92649 USA (714) 894-5351 TAX: (714) 895-4309 The Honorable Mayor &City Council Page 2 ✓ It is still in excellent condition and can be habilitated back to manufacturing at relatively low cost. As people of business, we recognize the urgency to see revenues coming from this property. However, we can also separate short term gain from long term loss. Properly marketed by a motivated team, this valuable asset could be replaced to the register of healthy businesses in Huntington Beach. Additionally, the size and configuration of the structure should attract a prestigious manufacturer- a manufacturer providing jobs rich in depth and broadly based. Ladies and gentlemen, we are business property owners and residents of Huntington Beach. We are also manufacturers. We are your neighbors providing work for 60 people. We are concerned.

In fact, FACTORY OUTLETS open ONLY IN NEW SHOPPING MALLS WHICH ARE BUILT SPECIFICALLY TO HOUSE RETAIL STORES/FACTORY OUTLETS. They do NOT move in'--to industrial complexes already in existance .

The subject property is located in an area composed primarily of industrial- type businesses, Current police patrol activity within this area is sporadic at best. Unfortunately, within this immediate area we are experiencing an ever increasing number of break-ins, thefts, incidents of property damage due to vandalism, and many, many incidents of people from nearby communities using the business properties in the immediate area as "dumping grounds" for all manner of trash, garbage- and unwanted items of all kinds. A business venture such as a weekend swap meet on weekends will draw people- into the area at a time when most other businesses in the area are closed and no one present on the property. Encouraging people to enter the Huntington Beach Industrial Park under these conditions will do nothing' more that create an even greater potential for criminal activity in the area than that which already exists. I strongly believe an indoor swap meet on weekends at this particular proposed location will definately have an adverse affect in the area. I urge the City Council to deny a Conditional Use Permit for this purpose. Respectfully submitted, Jere H.

It is good for Huntington Beach and is compatible with the surrounding industrial uses. The feeling I am getting from the City is that they would like to keep a big building like this around in case a big user emerged. . .that's ,a dream! The 1980's are gone, the defense and aerospace industries are a fraction of their former size, and any large user would go out of state due to California's high operating costs. Huntington Beach is a small user market of 5-10,000 square foot buildings surrounded by an incubator base of widget multi- tenant buildings. All of them would feed off the day to day swap meet activity and would provide a reason to move related businesses to Huntington Beach. Visitors buy food, hair cuts, gas, flowers, pay taxes, etc. ; money gets spent in our city. The Planning Commission must have something other than jobs and employment on their minds.

My properties are located at 5882 Machine Drive and 15241 Transistor Lane. I have recently been made aware that the Planning Commission voted against the Indoor Swap Meet being housed in the Weiser facility. Having been in business for 16 years in Huntington Beach, I have seen the ups and downs of our economy and I can't understand why the Planning Commission would reject such a proposal. It seems that Huntington Beach could use a shot in the arm and certainly some additional jobs. As a neighbor to this property, I see no objection to having some activity of this sort in our business park. The Weiser facility has been deserted for years and is certainly an eye sore to our park as it exists. Should you need it, you have my permission to use this letter for any positive _aeiiXlxy that might.help overturn the vote that, in my opinion,.makes no.sense.. Please forward a copy of the Staff Report, Planning Commission meeting minutes, and a calendar of upcoming City Council meetings, along with a copy of the amended code #9638 allowing Swap Meet uses to me at your earliest convenience.

Also included is a request to allow a reduction in the required parking, and approval of a Special Permit to allow up to 20 percent of the parking spaces to be compact sized. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 94- 10 and the Special Permit with findings and suggested conditions of approval based upon the following: The use is located at least 1,500 feet from any noise sensitive uses, including residentially zoned properties, hospitals, churches and schools. The use is compatible with the surrounding industrial land uses. The use conforms to the goals and policies of the General Plan. PC Minutes-5/17/94 5 (pcm009) The use will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working in the vicinity, nor will it generate any significant noise, traffic or other impacts which would be detrimental to adjoining industrial uses. No persons live in the near vicinity of the use; thereby eliminating any potential detrimental effects to residential areas. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Dick Harlow, 211 Main Street, representing applicant, gave a brief history of the site. Mr. Harlow stated that the applicant was in agreement with the conditions of approval with the exception of Condition No. 4a and Condition No. 5a. He requested Condition No. 4a to be modified to allow the swap meet on Federal Holidays and to allow the office area to be occupied during swap meet hours. He requested Condition No. 5a to be modified to state that the wall partitions comply with Fire Code. Jim Conners, Masco Company, responsible for leasing of the site, stated his concern for the with the economic viability of businesses in Huntington Beach. Mr. Conners stated that he has tried to sale or lease the subject site since the Weiser Lock business departed. He stated that as yet he has been unsuccessful with re-use of the site, and spoke in support of the request. Bill Peters, CB Brokerage, addressed the economic basis for the proposed swap meet. Leonard Nadler, representing RSI, spoke in support of the request. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. The Commission's concerns included, labeling the use temporary for a ten(10) year period of time. It was suggested that the temporary period be changed to four(4)years. Staff stated that the ten(10)year period was derived fromr the current code. The Commission was also concerned that allowing a swap meet use in an industrial area would eliminate industrial uses within the city.

Segal September 27, 1994 Vice President CFC/OC Ms. Connie Brockway City Clerk CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, California 92648 Re: Reconsideration of Conditional Use Permit ##94-10 Dear Ms. Brockway: I would appreciate it if this letter is circulated amongst all members of the Huntington Beach City Council and the mayor. I am an industrial realtor with over 30 years experience. I have been very involved with bringing business to Huntington Beach from the earliest days of the business park's existence. I own several buildings that are directly adjacent to 5555 McFadden Avenue in Huntington Beach, the contested site for the Frazer Tremblay Enterprises' indoor swapmeet. I have spoken before the city council at a previous meeting.and met at a private session with the mayor and some of the council members to discuss the issue of the swapmeet. As I have said previously, I am strongly opposed to the idea of an indoor swapmeet in the Huntington Beach Business Park. In all of my years of experience in other industrial areas, I have never seen the introduction of a swapmeet, be it indoor or outdoor, have a positive effect on the surrounding areas. In most cases, the result is a demoralizing effect on existing and prospective industrial business. Very often, when the idea of a swapmeet or similar use is introduced in an industrial zone, it is just the "tip of the iceberg" of an economic and moral decline for the entire area. It is obvious to me that since the swapmeet was originally turned down through the planning department process, and after appeal was subsequently turned down by the city council, that there is a strong lobbying effort being made to off-set the resistance to this -activity. In the course of this lobbying effort, there has probably been several promises• made to individuals and commitments of various types which may not be part of the public et- Offices located in Los Angeles County,Orange County and the Inland Empire 5000 Birch Street,West Tower,Suite 1400 P.O.Box 7860 Newport Beach,California 92658-7860 (714)851-2300 FAX:(714)955-3718 Ms. Connie Brockwa • • Y CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Page Two September 27, 1994 record. I point all of this out because the great majority of the occupants in the business park and others in the business community are so strongly opposed to the introduction of this use that it would appear to be perverse for the city council members to be supportive of a reconsideration of a previously defeated application of this type. To reiterate, my objections to the swapmeet are as follows: 1. Non-Conforming Use. The business park is zoned for various types of light manufacturing and related uses. An indoor swapmeet is clearly a retail use and as noted in the application for the conditional use permit, this use would require 2,125 parking spaces. However, the swapmeet operator is requesting this be reduced to 1,320 spaces with 47 of the spaces marked for compact size cars. Since the objective of the swapmeet operator is to attract thousands of people over the weekend when in operation, it can be expected that many of these people will park in surrounding parking areas designated for other industrial buildings, with all of the various resulting problems that will cause. It would be impossible to try to control the parking in such a way for this not to occur. 2. Effect on Surrounding Areas. There is no question that the traffic generated by a major retail use of this type will a nuisance to the surrounding residential area, result in litter and trash being deposited on the streets and adjacent properties, and further exasperate the vandalism and graffiti problems which the business park has been plagued by in the last few years. This latter problem is approaching an epidemic level. Almost every business in the Huntington Beach Business Park is experiencing some degree of vandalism and/or graffiti, with the police department seemingly impotent in dealing with the problems. The Huntington Beach Business Park is what I would categorize as a "bedroom industrial park." This description very often describes a business park in close proximity to residential areas as opposed to central business corridors. As such, the surrounding residential will definitely feel the effects of swapmeet traffic on the weekends. This could have a devastating effect on these neighborhoods, especially since the swapmeet operator plans to offer both beer and wine to patrons. One of the items that the swapmeet operator is planning to offer for sale is firearms. This can only add to the growing crime problem in the community. 3. The Industrial User Verses a Retail User. If a major manufacturer were to lease the subject property and the adjacent UPS facility, or a combination of industrial users were to lease the two properties, it would have a very positive ripple-down effect on the entire business park. This is especially important at this point in time in view of the "melt-down" of aerospace, and more specifically, the reduced business activity at McDonnell Douglas. Many of the subcontractors to McDonnell Douglas who occupy the business park have fallen on very difficult times in the last few years. In addition, there are several machine shops and woodworking Ms. Connie Brockwa • • Y CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Page Three September 27, 1994 operations and various other types of support businesses which would be significantly bolstered by a new major manufacturer's introduction to the property in question. One major manufacturer has already made an offer on the properties, a company by the name of RSI, Inc. located in La Mirada. They have been rebuffed by the Wiserlock interest; however, they have been willing to lease the UPS facility as long as a swapmeet operator does not lease the Wiserlock building. In addition, I have been told that another major manufacturer has approached the two properties and to date is not being positively received. There is no question that the commercial environment is presently in an upswing and additional major manufacturers will be considering the property in the weeks and months ahead. There presently are shortages of large buildings in several industrial areas in Southern California. In closing, I strongly urge the city council members and mayor to reject this reconsideration of the conditional use permit. Our business park is one of the city's most. valuable assets. The wrong decision at this time is something we will all feel the effects of for years to come. Sincerely, COLLINS FULLER CORPORATION Allen M.

The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 94-10 with Special Permit for a 212,000 sure foot indoor swap meet with reduction in parking and compact spaces for a period of ten(10)years will adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach. The proposed swap meet is not consistent with the General Plan land use designation of General Industrial,and the intent and purpose of the industrial zoning for the location. 2. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 94-10 with Special Permit for a 212,000 square foot indoor swap meet with reduction in parking and compact spaces will be detrimental to the industrial base of the City because it eliminates the building for industrial uses for ten(10)years. EQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION ------ ------ ........../l -----...--- Date: July 5, 1994 Submitted to: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members CD94-37 Submitted by: Michael T. Uberuaga, City Administrator1C Prepared by: Melanie S. Fallon, Director of Community Development Subject: APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DENIAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-10 WITH SPECIAL PERMIT FOR COMPACT PARKING SPACES ,S:r �o� wa�,e-t�e7' Consistent with Council Policy? [X] Yes [ ] New Policy or Exception Statement of Issue,Recommendation,Analysis,Funding Source,Alternative Actions,Attachments: STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Transmitted for action by the City Council is an appeal by Councilmember Bauer of the Planning Commission's denial of Conditional Use Permit No. 94-10 with Special Permit for Compact Parking Spaces. This application represents a request to establish an indoor swap meet with indoor entertainment activities including food service with sales of beer and wine, and to reduce the amount of required parking from 2,125 spaces to 1,320 spaces, and a special permit to allow 3.5% (47) of the parking spaces to be compact sized spaces. The Planning Commission denied the request at their May 17, 1994, meeting. RECOMMENDATION: Planning Commission Recommendation: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION ON MAY 17, 1994: THE MOTION MADE BY GORMAN, SECONDED BY BIDDLE, TO DENY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-10 WITH A SPECIAL PERMIT FOR COMPACT PARKING SPACES CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES:' GORMAN, DETTLOFF, INGLEE, BIDDLE, KERINS NOES: NEWMAN ABSTAIN: NONE ABSENT: RICHARDSON MOTION PASSED Staff Recommendation: Motion to: "Overturn the Planning Commission's action and approve Conditional Use Permit No. 94-10 with a Special Permit for Compact Parking Spaces with findings and suggested conditions of approval" (see Attachment No. 10). ANALYSIS: History On December 20, 1993, the Huntington Beach City Council adopted Ordinance Nos. 3224, 3225 and 3227, amending Articles 908, 960 and 963 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, to include indoor swap meets/flea markets as a permitted temporary use in the commercial and industrial zones of the City, subject to approval of a conditional use permit. A summary of the code requirements are as follows: 1. Pursuant to Article 908, a swap meet is defined as an occasional, periodic or regularly scheduled market held within a building where groups of individual vendors offer goods for sale to the public. 2. Pursuant to Article 960, indoor swap meets require one parking space for every 100 square feet of gross floor area, except as may be modified by the Planning Commission through the Conditional Use Permit process, after submittal, review and approval of a traffic engineering study. 3. Pursuant to Article 963, indoor swap meets shall be permitted in the commercial and industrial zones as temporary uses only, for a period not to exceed ten (10) years. One year extensions of time may be granted after public hearing by the Planning Commission. 4. Pursuant to Article 963, the Planning Commission will consider the proposed site's proximity to residences, hospitals, other swap meets and businesses processing hazardous materials and the potential adverse impacts on traffic circulation and pedestrian safety. In addition, swap meet uses shall only be allowed on property located adjacent to arterial streets; the minimum gross building floor area shall be 100,000 square feet; and, ancillary uses may be permitted as included on the approved site plan. This project is the first such request to operate an indoor swap meet in the City. RCA7/5/94 2 G:RCA\CD94-37 Project Description The applicant is requesting to operate an indoor swap meet within a 212,500 square foot building which was previously occupied by Weiser Lock as an industrial use. Adjoining the building is a 51,000 square foot, two story office building that will be used on weekdays only. The building has been vacant since 1990. In 1990, the subject site was divided from the northern parcel as a result of Lot Line Adjustment No. 90-1. The project owner consents to the applicant's request to temporarily use the site as an indoor swap meet, until such time that a user can be secured for use of the site for manufacturing purposes. The building will be divided into individual spaces for 325 vendors. The spaces will be generally 430 square feet in size. The applicant has included a sample list of vendors and their products which includes such items as jewelry, clothing, tools, electronics, office supplies, pet supplies, furniture and arts and crafts (Attachment No. 7). Also requested are indoor activities such as carnival type games, clowns, Santa Claus, children dance shows and other similar events often seen at malls. Food services would also be available and would include the sales of beer and wine. The swap meet would be open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays only, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Loading would take place on Fridays only, between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. It is anticipated that there will be up to 700 total people employed for the vendors and operations of the building. Parkins: There are 1,320 parking stalls on the subject site which serve the 212,500 square foot industrial building and an adjacent 51,000 square foot vacant office building. Combined, these uses require 2,329 parking stalls, at a rate of one space per 100 square feet of gross floor area for the swap meet and one space per 250 square feet for the office space. The applicant is proposing to reduce the required parking to an overall rate of one space per 299 square feet of gross floor area, or at one space per 161 square feet, excluding the office space. The applicant has stated that the property owner has confirmed the office will not be occupied during the hours of operation of the swap meet; therefore, the applicant has excluded the calculation of office space in the requested parking ratio. A condition is included that requires an agreement.to be recorded on the property to assure that the office will not be used during swap meet hours. RCA7/5/94 3 G:RCA\CD94-37 As required by code, the applicant has submitted a traffic engineering study, conducted by Paul E. Cook and Associates (Attachments 3 & 4)to accompany his request for a reduction in parking. The findings of the report suggest that the applicant's requested parking rate of one space per 161 square feet exceeds the typical peak parking demand of one space per 250 square feet for swap meets, based on studies including the Orange County Fairgrounds swap meet. In addition, the study finds that the two major entrances (one is on McFadden Avenue opposite Commerce Lane and the other is on Graham Street opposite Commercial Drive) to the site will be able to adequately accommodate the peak hour(9:00 AM- 10:00 AM)volumes of vehicles entering either driveway on summer weekends. The City's Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the above studies and has no objection to the request for a reduction in the amount of required parking. The applicant has also offered the following to support the request for reduced parking: 1. Approximately 46% of the building (118,000 square feet) will be leased, resulting in a parking ratio of one space per ninety square feet of gross leasable area; 2. Approximately 4.5 parking spaces will be provided for each average 430 square foot booth. 3. The applicant presently operates several other swap meets and is confident that the provided parking will adequately service the use. 4. The applicant has also provided a designated employee and vendor parking area located at the rear (east side) of the building in order to facilitate more proximal parking for the public. A designated loading area is also provided at the east side of the building to enable the public to load purchases of any large or heavy items, without impeding the movement of traffic or pedestrians at the front of the building. In comparison, the Anaheim Market Place swap meet operates within a 433,000 square foot building, and has approximately 2,393 on-site parking spaces, at a rate of one (1) space for every 182 square feet of gross building area. Planning Staff talked with the City of Anaheim's staff in April of 1994, and they reported no significant concerns or complaints regarding the swap meet operation, and have had no problems with the amount of on-site parking spaces. RCA7/5/94 4 G:RCA\CD94-37 Special Permit: The applicant is also requesting that 47 of the 1,320 parking spaces (3.5 %), located on the site, be permitted to be compact sized. Section 9606.3 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code states that non-residential developments with a minimum of twenty(20) spaces shall be permitted to have twenty(20) percent of the total spaces as compact parking, provided the compact spaces are distributed throughout the parking area, have the same aisle width as full size spaces, and are marked "compact" on the foot of the stall. The request complies with the above code requirements; therefore, staff recommends approval of the Special permit. In addition, the granting of the special permit will not adversely affect the circulation or safety of the use and sites, nor will it be detrimental to the welfare or convenience of the users of the site. Trash Trash will be collected in a T6" wide by 26' long trash compactor located adjacent to the east side of the building. The vendors will access the compactor from inside the building and the trash will be picked up on a regular schedule. A maintenance crew will operate the trash system. General Plan Advisory, Committee The General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) has made recommendations concerning the conceptual land use policies for the updated City of Huntington Beach General Plan. GPAC has recommended that the functional role of the land use for the subject site remain as an industrial business park, to facilitate businesses with large parcel needs including manufacturing and other heavy industries. Recommended permitted uses include light industrial warehousing, manufacturing, heavy industrial, industrial office, and supporting commercial services, restaurants and unclassified uses. It is GPAC's intent to continue to provide job/employment opportunities for this industrial land use area. The proposed swap meet is considered an unclassified use type of business, with large parcel needs. As such, the use is consistent with GPAC's land use recommendation for the site. Fiscal Analysis The City is in the process of adopting an ordinance to amend the Huntington Beach Municipal Code pertaining to Business License tax rates. If approved, the swap meet will generate an annual revenue of at least $200,000 in fees for the City. The applicant provided written consent of complying with such payment of Business License fees (Attachment No. 9). RCA7/5/94 5 G:RCA\CD94-37 Police Department Review The applicant operates several other indoor swap meet businesses in other states, including one in Florida which is similar to this request in terms of size and type of vendors and products. The Police Department investigated the Florida operation and discovered no police problems. They have, however, expressed their concern with potential problems associated with crowds and with the sales of beer and wine. The following is their recommended conditions to address their concerns: a. The applicant should provide adequate on-site security provisions; b. If approved, this C.U.P. should be reviewed every six months to evaluate compliance with codes and conditions; and, C. Alcohol promotion sales (i.e. two dollar pitchers, one dollar glasses) should be prohibited. Planning Commission Action During the Planning Commission public hearing of May 17, 1994, five persons addressed the Commission. The authorized agent, Richard Harlow, explained the history of the site and the proposed use. Jim Connors, of the Masco Corporation(property owner), expressed the benefits of the proposed use, particularly the $200,000 annual revenue for the City. Bill Peters of CB Commercial Realtors stated that no economically viable inquiries have been received for the site and further explained the benefits of the proposed ten year swap meet use. Leonard Nadler and Aaron Latt, of Leonard Nadler Associates representing"RSI Home Products" explained that their request to lease the subject site for manufacturing and warehousing purposes was not considered by Masco Corporation, owner of the site. Following considerable discussion regarding RSI's request to use the site for manufacturing purposes, the compatibility of the proposed use with the surrounding industrial area and the duration (ten years) of the proposed use, the Planning Commission denied the application. The Planning Commission's reasons for denial include the following: a. The proposed use is not consistent with the General Plan land use designation of General Industrial; b. The proposed use is not consistent with the intent and purpose of the M1- A(Restricted Manufacturing) industrial zoning classification for the location; and, RCA7/5/94 6 G:RCA\CD94-37 • • C. Approval of the proposed use will be detrimental to the industrial base of the City as it eliminates the building for industrial purposes for ten (10) years. Appeal Councilman Bauer filed an appeal (Attachment No. 1) to the Planning Commission's denial. He believes that the proposed use will increase sales tax revenue for the City by stimulating business activity in the surrounding area, and by creating permanent retail businesses throughout the City. Councilman Bauer also states that the proposed use will provide an estimated $200,000 annually to the City through Business License fees. Summary: The request to operate an indoor swap meet within an existing 212,500 square foot vacant industrial building is the first such request in the City. The request is pursuant to the newly adopted amendments to Articles 908, 960 and 963 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, which includes swap meets as a temporary permitted use in the industrial zones subject to approval of a conditional use permit. Numerous surveys and studies, as well as a tremendous amount of research were conducted by Staff in an effort to draft provisions included in the above code amendment to ensure compatibility with, and to minimize potential adverse effects to, surrounding land uses, and to protect the health, safety and general welfare of persons living or working in the vicinity. The submitted request meets the provisions as required by the code, and as such, Staff is recommending approval. Staffs recommendation is based on the fact that no conflicts of compatibility of land uses are anticipated, as the site location is adequately distanced (at least 1,500 feet from all directions) from residences, schools, hospitals and other noise sensitive uses. In addition, traffic studies have been presented and reviewed by staff which indicate that the amount of on-site parking spaces and the site's ingress and egress areas will adequately service the demand of the proposed use. Coastal Status: Not applicable Redevelopment Status Not applicable RCA7/5/94 7 G:RCA\CD94-37 Environmental Status: The proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to Class 1, Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act, because the use is an operation of an existing structure. FUNDING SOURCE: Not applicable ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The City Council may make the following alternative motion: A.

PAUL E. COOK AND ASSOCIATES TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING April-• 11, 1994 - Kelli Klan ' Assistant Planner Department of Community Development City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Re: Parking Study, Indoor Swap Meet, Conditional Use Permit No. 94-10 Dear Ms. Klan, Per your request, Paul E. Cook and Associates has prepared the following parking study for an indoor swap meet on the former Weiser Lock site in the vicinity of MacFadden Avenue and Graham Street. Paul E. Cook and Associates is a traffic engineering firm specializing in transportation planning and traffic engineering. Paul E. Cook has over 30 years of traffic engineering experience and is a registered Traffic Engineer in the State of California Background The project consists of a 275 booth indoor swap meet within a 212,520 square foot building. On-site parking consists of 1,363 spaces. Parking Demand Parking demand was estimated based on current city codes for retail uses; a parking study for the Orange County Fairgrounds which includes seasonal weekend swap meets; and parking studies by members of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. L- Section 9602.2(R) of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code re uires retail uses - . not otherwise specified, including department stores, arcades, an f6od and beverage establishments with-12 seats or less to have=l-parking space for each 200 square feet of gross floor area. This section of the code is the most applicable to the subject use. 211 Main Street Huntington Beach, California 92648 (714) 960-8298 2..A traffic and parking study for the Orange County Fairgrounds was conducted - by Greer and Company; Traffic Engineers and Planners, in April, 1991. This . study showed that the swap meet held on weekends on a portion of the Fairgrounds parking lot created a peak demand of one parking space for each 2.50-square feet of gross land area and a typical demand of one space per each 300 square feet. These parking demands were conducted on spring and summer weekends at one the most popular swap meets in southern California. 3. The Transportation and Land Development Handbook published in 1988 by the Institute of Transportation Engineers includes the results of a study for the Urban Land Institute (ULI) by Barton-Aschman Associates, together with data from the Institute of Transportation Engineers, which suggests the following parking indices for stand-alone uses: 1 space per 200 square feet of gross leaseable floor area (GLA) for shopping centers over 600,000 square feet. 1 space per 222 square feet of GLA for centers having 400,000 to 600,000 square feet. 1 space per 250 square feet of GLA for centers having 25,000 to 400,000 square feet. Project Site The project site is a 212,520 square foot building with 1,363 on-site parking spaces for a ratio of one space per 156 square feet of gross floor area. This parking supply.far exceeds any of the aforementioned measuring devices. With regard to the ITE studies, the subject project's gross leasable floor area (GLA) is 118,120 square feet. Therefore, the ratio of parking spaces to GLA is -one space per 87 square feet. Findings The findings of this study based on the existing parking supply for the subject project as compared to the expected parking demand using the three comparison methods in this study show an excess in supply over,dem_anA,, 1. The project supplies 1 space-per 156 square feet of-gt6ss floor area as compared to the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code requirement of 1-space per 200 square feet. 2. The project supplies 1 space per 1.56 square feet compared to a study showing an Orange County swap._meet demand of 1 space per 250 to-300 square feet. 3. The project supplies 1 space per 87 square feet of gross leaseable area (GLA) compared to a maximum demand of 1 space per 200 square feet of GLA based on Institute of Transportation Engineers studies.

COOK AND ASSOCIATES 610 TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING May :3, 1994 Bruce Gilmer Traffic Engineering Division Department of Public Works City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 r;c. ru;x„► StuUy, Iadoor Swap Meet, Conditional Use Permit No. 94-10 I . Dear Bruce, Per your request, the following is an analysis-of the capabilities of the entrances to the parking lot for the subject indoor swap meet to handle peak hour demands. Orange County Swab Meet -Study In 1988, Greer and Company conducted traffic counts of vehicles entering and exiting the parking lots for the Orange County swap meet held on weekends at the Orange County Fairgrounds. The peak hour entrance demands as compared in percentage to the total daily entrance demands were as follows: Saturday, August 6, 1988 - Peak hour was 11.3% of total from 9:OOAM to 10:OOAM. Sunday, August 7, 1988 - Peak hour was 11.6% of total from 8:00 AM to 9:OOAM. Saturday, September 24, 1994 - peak bm,r •vas 10.6% of total from 9:OOAM to 10:OOAM. For purposes of this study, we have assumed that 11.5% is a reasonable peak hour --percentage for vehicles entering a swap meet as compared to the daily total. ___`.,--- Proposed Huntington Beach Indoor Swap Meet--- The total projected daily volume entering the subject project on a summer weekend is 3,500 to 3,800 vehicles. The total entering volumes for the peak hour would be approximately 425. This was based on two methods of calculation. n'1LA0 _ /'71 A\ MCA 011n0 - The first is- comparing the square footage of this indoor swap meet with the approximate total dedicated to the Orange County swap meet. The subject building consists of 212,500 square feet and the Orange County swap meet covers 1,067,000 square feet. The total daily entering volume for the fairgrounds -averaged 17,516 for the above three days. This would equate to approximately 3,500 total entering volumes for the Huntington Beach site. The total entering volumes for the peak hour would be approximately 400 under this method of calculation. The second method is an estimate by the operator of total daily weekend visitors to the site. This is based on counts conducted at other swap meets that the applicanvoperates. Based on their experience, daily visitors will be about 8,000 during the peak summer weekends at this swap meet. Although the operator experiences 2.6 persons per vehicle at his other locations, we have assumed 2.12 persons per vehicle as the Greer study showed at the fairgrounds site. This would equate to approximately 3,800 total vehicles entering daily and approximately 435 during the peak hour. Findings This project will have two major entrances to the parking lot for the swap meet. As shown on the enclosed site plan, one is on McFadden Avenue opposite ..Commerce Lane and the other is on.Graham Street opposite Commercial Drive. Both of-these entrances are currently developed to shopping center standards. Assuming that the peak hour entering volumes will be approximately evenly divided between the two entrances, there will be only 200 to 250 vehicles entering either driveway during the peak hour probably between 9:00 AM and 10:o0AM on summer weekends. Since traffic is extremely light in this industrial area at this time, it is our finding that traffic will flow very smoothly into the parking lot at these two entrances. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions on this matter. Sincerely, 061 Pa 1 E.

The objectives were to determine potential revenue to the city,job creation and impacts on land use planning. The findings are summarized as follows: Summary From the financial viewpoint of the city, swap meets should not be considered as substantial generators of sales tax, property tax, new jobs, or business license tax unless the city is very aggressive in its fees or very lucky in its operation. For example, sales tax from the indoor swap meets that staff reviewed do not exceed $35,000 annually. However,the large and successful outdoor swap meet at the Orange County Fairground generates between $200,000 to $300,000 annually to Costa Mesa and the one at Goldenwest College contributes up to $82,000 annually in sales and business license taxes for Huntington Beach. The city,of Paramount uses its business license tax to generate -1 substantial revenue from its outdoor swap meet, while other cities have only nominal charges. Employment at swap meets is generally on weekends only and probably is part- time or self-employed; however, in these economic conditions, these may be important income sources for small and start up retail businesses. Sales Tax: Usually thought of as the primary benefit to a city from a swap meet, the actual revenues received from indoor or outdoor swap meets vary substantially, but overall is minimal when compared to more traditional retail. Staff investigated six(6)indoor swap meets, none of which generated more than$35,000 annually in sales tag:-t-3,4-c.rest active city, with the average being probably one-half of that(see attached chart). Staff also reviewed three(3) outdoor swap meets. Two of these three, San Fernando`s and Goldenwest, generated local sales tax of about $50,000 each annually, and the other, the swap meet at the Orange County Fairgrounds, may generate between $200,000 and $300,000 annually for Costa Mesa (the actual number is difficult to determine as all events at the Fairgrounds are reported-under the same address for sales tax purposes). Property Tax: There is really no substantial impact on property tax revenue to be generated through swaprmeets, especially as these will be temporary uses and very little will be done in building improvements. There is an opportunity cost to consider since approval of a swap meet for a site will Temporarily preclude industrial development and the potential for higher property taxes in the interim. Jobs: ' A swap meet does involve jobs, most often part-time employment. Additionally, many of the smaller vendors will be self-employed persons who also operate other businesses or hold other jobs during the week. The Planning Division reports booth sizes ranging from 96 to 530 square feet per vendor, with the average being 200 square feet. This would compute to an average of 50 vendors at the 10,000 square foot minimum building size being proposed in the new ordinance;therefore, at least 50 persons working, and probably more as most booths have a second employee. A typical swap meet will also employ additional persons for traffic control, security, administration and food service. Industrial Vacancy rater Onereason the indoor swap meet ordinance is being proposed is to allow temporary use of vacant industrial buildings with the-hope that in five years or so the industrial demand for these buildings will be strong enough to support industrial uses. We have been advised that a recent report by CB Commercial shows the following vacancies for buildings of over 10,000 square feet. Huntington Beach: 16.47% Orange County: 13.58% I In terms of building space in the city, this industrial vacancy rate equates to 308,362 square feet available for lease, 637,558 square feet available for sale, and 745,534 square feet available for lease or sale(just in buildings of 10,000 square feet and larger). We have been told this is the highest vacancy rate for the city in recent.,_re�ry a!:d that a significant portion of our vacancy is due to downsizing by McDonnell Douglas. Another factor to be considered is the availability of alternative, similar buildings (or vacant land sites on which comparable buildings could be built)to those which may be used for swap meets. For example, the city may currently have dozens of small vacant buildings but perhaps only one or two vacant buildings in excess of 200,000 square feet. Considering all swap meets, the annual city share of sales tax ranged from $35 to $222 per vendor. Because of the variation in hours of operation, size of booths, types of vendors, : and the confidential nature of sales taxes and related business information, these estimates of sales tax have a high degree of uncertainty. Utilizing these estimates, however, a swap meet:in a 10,000 square foot building may generate$2,000 to $11,000 in annual city sales tax revenue, with a 200,000 square foot swap meet raising between$12,000 and $75,000 annually. Overall, with the historically low reporting of income from swap meets, a substantial level of sales tax revenue is very uncertain unless the swap meet operator guarantees a minimum amount. Business License Tax: This is traditionally the other major revenue source to cities from swap meets. The city of Huntington Beach received approximately$31,000 last year from the Goldenwest swap meet. This revenue came from 406 vendors who purchased a$75.00 annual business license and the College who paid $435 to cover"casual" vendors. Revisions to the business license ordinance are currently being considered to include this swap meet, special events such as Pierfest, and charitable and non-profit events such as the Sugar Plum Village. That revision would include a payment from the operator on a sliding scale depending upon the number of booths, as well as a$1.00 per space per day "casual "fee for persons not wishing to pay the annual$75.00. Indoor swap meets could come under this:proposed ordinance, or could be included in a separate category. For example, the City-of Paramount collects $2.00 per space daily without providing the option of a lower, annual rate similar to our$75.00 annual fee. Conversely, the city could charge all vendors the annual $75.00 fee without the daily rate option. Collection of all such fees would be made the responsibility of the swap meet operator, with the city incurring some monitoring costs. . Operator's Guarantee: Because of the uncertainty of sales tax revenue, an operator may guarantee a level of revenue to the host city. While the proposed ordinance does not address this matter, Mr. Tremblay, who operates swap meets in at least five locations in the United States and Canada and who hopes to open an indoor swap.meet at the furmer"vvciser Lori:facility, has indicated that he will guarantee $200,000 as part of his future conditional use permit (see attached letter). Security for the guarantee is undetermined at this time. As this payment could probably not be a condition of the CUP, a separate contractual agreement would be required. a Accordingly, this factor may need to be watched closely if and when the city finds itself reviewing CUP's for-specific sites. Land Use Conflicts: Would the permitting of indoor swap meets in industrial areas cause an atmosphere which would be detrimental to other industrial businesses in the area? The city has recently seen concerns raised by at least one existing industrial business as to the inclusion of certain non-industrial uses into an industrial area, so its impossible to predict how adjacent businesses may feel about a swap meet. However, many swap meets operate on weekends when most industrial businesses are closed. Furthermore, the City would be able to review and deny the conditional use permit for a specific application if it were judged as adversely impacting an area.

Another way to create substantial revenues in a relatively small area is factory outlet centers. The Citadel Mall in Commerce and the new outlet center in San Marcos are examples of smaller outlet centers in metro areas that are doing well. i. 2220 E.:Uh,xt:r avenue I Suite 205 1 1;h•nr1m'a.(::Jifurnia 91740 17: 5 . . • • .

I • &Y OF HUNTINGTON*SEACH INTER-DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATION CA 94-9 HUNTINGTON BEACH TO: Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Michael T. Uberuaga, City Administrator Prepared by: Barbara A. Kaiser, Deputy City Administrator DATE: July 27, 1994 SUBJECT: Research on Swap Meets in Florida As requested by the City Council, Economic Development and Administrative staff have contacted parties in Florida for the purpose of conducting interviews regarding Frazer Tremblay Enterprises. This is the firm that proposes to operate a swap meet at the Weiser Lock facility in Huntington Beach. The following is a summary of those discussions. Roger Wehling, Planning Director, Tampa, Florida The operators of the swap meet took an outdated shopping mall and enclosed it for use as a swap meet. In his opinion, the facility is one of the better managed swap meets. It is located adjacent to a commercial strip along an arterial. The interstate freeway bypassed this area when constructed and it became difficult for an operator to survive in the mall location. The mall became depressed and the swap meet was a good opportunity for reuse of the commercial space. Diane McGiveny, Economic Development, City of Jacksonville According to Ms. McGiveny, there are no negative impacts from the two swap meet operations in the City of Jacksonville as operated by Frazer Tremblay Enterprises. The largest operation in the city is located in a high density commercial zone. The operation fits in with the neighborhood and adjacent retail businesses. She is unaware of any history of crime or traffic problems at the site. The second operation is located in a rural area of the city. There is significant open space surrounding the operation which mitigates any impact on residential areas. v • Arnold B. Bexter, Field Supervisor, City of Tampa According to Mr. Bexter, there were no problems or difficulties with the swap meet operation during or after construction. He is unaware of any traffic or crime difficulties associated with the operation. Gary Jones, Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce Mr. Jones was unfamiliar with the swap meet but he identified the swap meet developer as the developer of the Floraland mall, also located in the city of Tampa. He indicated that this mall is a well maintained retail operation. Staff is continuing to gather more information in preparation for the public hearing on the swap meet to be held by the City Council on August 1, 1994. This information will be provided at the meeting. MTU/BAK:ls g:swap COMMERCIAL RE FICB REAL ESTATE GROUP, INC.

I am the owner of two pieces of property within blocks of the Weiser facility. My properties are located at 5882 Machine Drive and 15241 Transistor Lane. I have recently been made aware that the Planning Commission voted against the Indoor Swap Meet being housed in the Weiser facility. Having been in business for 16 years in Huntington Beach, I have seen the ups and downs of our economy and I can't understand why the Planning Commission would reject such a proposal. It seems that Huntington Beach could use a shot in the arm and certainly some additional jobs. As a neighbor to this property, I see no objection to having some activity of this sort in our business park. The Weiser facility has been deserted for years and is certainly an eye sore to our parkas it exists. Should you need it, you have my permission to use this letter for any positive activity that might help overturn the vote that, in my opinion, makes no sense. Please forward a copy of the Staff Report, Planning Commission meeting minutes, and a calendar of upcoming City Council meetings, along with a copy of the amended code #9638 allowing Swap Meet uses to me at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your attention to this subject.

As you are probably aware, I have been marketing the property for approximately 21h years and thus far have only had one real interested party for the site. Tremblay Enterprises is very interested in securing a lease of the property for an in-door swap meet. This would be a permanent year round in-door swap meet to be used on weekends only. They have a sincere interest in our property and would appreciate any help that the City can lend for approving this use. Furthermore, with so many companies leaving Southern California as well as Orange County and with a current vacancy rate of industrial space is over 15.84%,I would very much urge the City to take a very serious look at this use and assist with this matter as early as possible. Also, it now appears that as McDonnell.Douglas Company goes, Huntington Beach goes with regard to the industrial sector. With so many of the suppliers, contractors, subs, etc. that have done business with McDonnell Douglas over the various years are now in retreat. I urge you to take a very serious look at this use so that we are not looking at a vacant facility another 2-3 years from now. There just are not big users currently interested in Southern California for a manufacturing use. Thanks again for your interest and consideration.

Box 190 Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Dear Dr. Leipzig: I thought it might be advisable to commit to writing some of the comments I made to you yesterday at the meeting we had concerning the so-called "Flea Market" Conditional Use Permit request for 5555 McFadden, Huntington Beach, California. The following is a brief outline of our efforts to market the building over the last four years. As you know, the building in question is 214, 000 S.F. of manufacturing space on 17.24 acres. In addition, there is a 51, 000 S.F. two story office building attached to the 214, 000 S.F. manufacturing facility. In the four years that we have marketed the facility, we've attempted to attract companies from Orange County and from elsewhere to either buy or lease the property. Mercedes Benz was interested in a parts warehouse for the .West Coast but decided to place their warehouse in the Inland Empire. Symbol Technologies, the manufacturer of bar coding equipment, acquired a facility in Orange County and decided to move it into one building since the facility was comprised of numerous buildings which were not connected to each other. Unfortunately, Symbol's final decision was to move the California operation to the East Coast and combine it with its' East Coast facility. Loral was approached when they were considering downsizing. They decided that it was more appropriate to stay where they were, rather than move from their current Orange County location. We had an opportunity to move a Homestead House warehouse to the site, but it would have required the installation of rail which would have taken two years and cost approximately $2 million. Homestead House could not wait the two year period and the cost of Dr. V. Leipzig June 30, 1994 Page 2 installing the railroad could not have been recovered from the sale or lease. The recent offer from RSI was at half market value for a rental, and had many qualifications which would have made the offer even lower than half of market. The only serious offer and potential transaction that has been even possible after four years of effort is the lease for a Flea Market with a group who have six other successful Flea Markets throughout the United States and Canada. The problem with the Weiser Lock site is not the economic climate in Southern California, but the nature of change that is occurring in industrial facility usage in this part of the country. The following is an outline of our current transactions taking place in Southern California. All of the following names and numbers have been kept general to avoid compromising confidential relationships we have with particular buyers and tenants. The actual documents supporting the following analysis can be viewed by anyone who is interested in the details. All of the following transactions are with one of Masco's companies and are either currently taking place or have just closed. Those transactions are as follows: 1. We've just recently sold a parking lot to the City of Maywood. The parking lot was originally used for parking for an industrial manufacturing facility, but will be converted to low cost housing for senior citizens. 2 . We have just recently leased a 142, 000 S.F. facility on three acres to two tenants. One tenant is in the garment business, the other tenant will manufacture "boom" boxes. Both tenants are manufacturers using low cost labor that live in or near South Gate. 3. We are in the process of selling a 57, 990 S.F. building in the City of Vernon to an individual who has leased the building for two years, with an option to purchase. This individual manufactures mattress ticking. 4. We are selling a 48,840 S.F. building in the City of Vernon to an individual who has leased the building for two years. This individual is a manufacturer of patented plastic components from recycled plastic. Dr. V. Leipzig June 30, 1994 Page 3 5. We are leasing a 124,740 S.F. building in Vernon to an individual who stone washes clothing. His business has expanded from a 20, 000 S.F. building to a 60, 000 S.F. building, and now to our 124, 000 S.F. building. This lease should commence during the Spring of 1995. 6. We are selling a 170,000 S.F. facility in the City of Commerce to an individual who manufactures women's clothing racks. This sale should close this fall. The ethnic diversity of the buyers and tenants is significant. It ranges from Korean, to Chinese, to Pakistani, to African, to Indo European. All of the purchasers and tenants are hiring low wage workers, who make minimum wage or slightly higher, and have expanded from workplaces in Southern California into our facilities: In every instance the workers come from nearby communities and can reach the facilities by bus or by "jitney" taxis, or by ride sharing from a local neighborhood. We estimate that between 600 - 700 employees will populate these various facilities. It is our view that Southern California manufacturing is growing, but it is the low wage, high productive employee that is being employed. In the 1950's and 1960's New York City had 1, 200, 000 manufacturing jobs which were quite similar to the jobs we are discussing in this correspondence. Today New York City has 300,000 of the same jobs. Most of the formerly employed population is still living in the City but unfortunately is unemployed. New York City raised its taxes and caused the manufacturers to leave New York City for the Southern part of the United States and in some instances for Mexico. Provided Southern California doesn't act to destroy this new industrial base, the job growth and employment base should be expanding over the next three to five years. As you can see these facilities are rather small. None are even approximately equivalent to the 265, 000 S.F. Weiser facility, and in all instances the population working in the facilities live nearby. When Weiser operated in Huntington Beach, California many of the employees were bused from South Gate (the original home of Weiser) . This continued until Weiser closed its doors and moved to Tucson. Dr. V. Leipzig June 30, 1994 Page 4 The major problem in finding an industrial use for the Weiser property is the change that has occurred in Southern California in the last four to five years. The high paying, high wage jobs of McDonald Douglas, Northrop, Hughes, etc. , are being reduced due to a reduction in defense spending and the immigrants who have come to our shores are being employed in large numbers, in low wage, highly productive jobs. Huntington Beach .is unfortunately not a location where these persons live. In West Orange County, Huntington Beach and Garden Grove have the most square feet of buildings and the most buildings available for manufacturing. Garden Grove has 291, Huntington Beach has 365. Huntington Beach has 16. 10% vacancy rate, Garden Grove 10. 30%, the difference is the nature of the worker in the two locations. We wouldn't ask for conversion from industrial to commercial if we had any thought that it was possible to bring a large industrial user to our property in Huntington Beach. We've tried everything we can to bring large industrial users to Huntington Beach. We've tried for four years. We've reduced our rental rate, we've reduced our price, but price is not enough, "location is everything" in the real estate business. I hope that this information will be of some value to you. If we can provide you any further information please don't hesitate to call me directly. Sincerely avi Hi 6,c Director, Property Management DLH:sn cc �� so D. Harlow P. Peters F.

SUITE 4OO :���eac�, ZJau y��.cit 909"l10--2 y52 --...-�'-•--.�r-.-.. :.. 310/43O-1505 FAX 310/430-1 398 August 2, 1993 Mr. Howard Zelessky Plarrdrg Director The City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main St. Huntington Beach, CA 92648 RE: Application of Mr. Frazer Tremblay to Establish a "Swap Meet" at 5555 McFadden Avenue, Huntington Beach, presently called Weiser Lock Manufacturing Facility Dear Mr. Zelessky: I'm writing this letter in order to provide you background with respect to the property at 5555 McFadden Ave., Huntington Beach, which we have owned since 1976. We are asking the Planning Commission and the City Council of Huntington Beach to look favorably on Mr. Tremblay's application to operate a "swap meet", since we believe that it is the only potential use of our facility that seems to be reasonably probable in the near term. In 1976 we purchased 46 acres in Huntington Beach with the intention of building an 800,000 square foot facility and moving our Weiser Lock Division from Southgate, California to Huntington Beach. Weiser-had been in Southgate for approximately 30 years and was inhabiting seven buildings. The move gave Weiser the opportunity of combining all of its manufacturing processes in one facility, and all of its sales engineering and management group in one office building. Along with the manufacturing facility, we erected a 51,000 square foot office building on the site. From the late 1970's until 1989, we operated the Weiser Lock Division of Masco Corporation at the Huntington Beach site. We employed approximately 1,100 people and manufactured door locks for housing and industrial uses. During the late 1980's it became apparent that Weiser could not be an efficient manufacturer and still retain its manufacturing base in California. The cost of living (the Howard Zelessky Page 2 August 2, 1993 cost of labor), the cost of Workers' Compensation the cost of energy, the high taxes, etc., made Weiser less competitive than its major competitors in the United States, Mexico and Taiwan. Weiser's largest competitor was moving its manufacturing facility from California to Texas. In the late 1980's Weiser started to look for another site outside of the State of California and found a location in Tucson, Arizona.where it constructed its existing manufacturing facility. In 1990 Weiser closed and moved its manufacturing to Tucson; Arizona. In 1990 Weiser sold approximately 600,000 square feet of manufacturing space and 29 acres to United Parcel. Weiser retained approximately 16 acres and 265,000 square feet (including the office structure) for resale or lease. Since 1990 CB Commercial has represented Weiser with the intent of either selling or leasing the remaining 265,000 square feet. To date we've had no serious interest in the property. We've made every attempt to find a buyer or tenant and have found little if any interest in the market. For all the reasons that Weiser left Southern California, large manufacturers are not coming to California. Our company looked at returning to California for a different product line and decided to build a new facility in Oregon instead of California. This decision was just made in 1992. Our companies operate in 35 states and 29 countries, and we have more than 850 companies and over 1,400 different manufacturing facilities around the world. It has not been easy for us to move from California since many of our companies were founded in California and originally prospered in this community. Unfortunately, we've been unable to continue to operate in California and have moved a number of other companies along with Weiser. All of the other companies as well as Weiser have retained work forces in other parts of the United States. In no case have we moved a company from California overseas. The problem is not California's competitiveness with foreign martufaciurers, its California's competitiveness widi utlier states. Evea Oregon and Arizona are far more competitive than California. Just recently we closed facilities in both Thailand and Mexico and moved the manufacturing to the United States. The most recent University of California at Los Angeles economic forecast indicates that there will be no rebound in the California economy until after 1994. Our own internal economic forecast would indicate that UCLA is optimistic in that the rebound will not take place until 1995. Because we do not believe that we've seen the bottom in the current economic downtrend and because we believe it's at least 3 or 4 more years before California will rebound, we believe that the only reasonable use of the facility is to allow it to be used as a "swap � � 4 Howard Zelessky Page 3 August 2, 1993 meet" for the next 5 to 7 years. It is our intention to lease out the office building for other purposes and we are currently negotiating with two prospective tenants. We see little hope in finding a user of the manufacturing space for the purpose of manufacturing. Enclosed is a letter which we provided to Ray Silver, Assistant City Administrator, City of Huntington Beach, on April 14, 1993 indicating a number of stories about companies that have left California. We believe that it would be a prudent course of action for Huntington Beach to approve Mr. Tremblay's application. The use of the Weiser facility for a "swap meet" for 5 to 7 years would be a way to "land bank" the facility so that it can later be returned to the manufacturing arena when companies come back to California because California is more.competitive location, vis a vis other states and other countries. We thank you in advance for favorable consideration of Mr. Tremblay's application. Sincere y, David L.

I have spoken with many others in the area who would do the same.

Councilman Ralph Dauer JUL �� 51994 City Hall 20c)(0 Main St. Huntington Beach, Ca. 92646 CITY Dear Councilman: My wife and I are residents and land owners of Huntington Beach and are concerned with the proposal for an indoor swap meet here in our city. Our primary reason for living in Huntington Beach is we like the small quiet feel of the city. With completion of an indoor swapmeet we feel increased- traffic and the influx of people from neighboring cities will distract from the quiet community that we enjoy. We realize the city relies heavily on the amount of sales tax generated within the city, but, the type of people who will be shopping at the swapmeet will not venture into our other shopping areas. Efforts to increase city revenue should be directed towards our dying shopping mall , Huntington Center , rather than an indoor swapmeet. If our mall continues to decline as it has ,—% for several years maybe the city should consider converting the mall into a new car auto plaza. Auto plazas are very popular with todays price conscious shoppers and new car sales produce very large amounts of income for the. participating cities. In closing I would like to reiterate that We oppose the plans for an indoor swapmeet in our city and hope you would reconsider your position. I would appreciate a response regarding your opinion on this issue.

The purpose of this letter is to register our strongest disagreement with this possibility. It is our belief that using this property as a "swap meet" will cause several problems. Some of these problems are:, ✓ Very heavy traffic loads in excess of the current street design ✓ Inadequate water and sanitary facilities for the large crowds that might attend ✓ Increased vandalism and crime in an area that is predominantly light manufacturing and residential ✓ Safety and hazardous materials infractions from using a facility in a way that is different from the original design ✓ Use of the property as a "Swap Meet" site will seriously degrade it in a short time. From an opposition viewpoint, we see the now empty facility at 5555 McFadden as a tremendous opportunity: ✓ It is one of the largest available manufacturing sites in Orange County. ✓ It is located in a highly desirable location serviced by a sound infrastructure. 15542 Chemical Lane, Huntington Beach, Calif., 92649 USA C p O (714) 894-5351 FAX: (714) 895-4309 its The Honorable Mayor & City Council Page 2 ✓ It is still in excellent condition and can be habilitated back to manufacturing at relatively low cost. As people of business, we recognize the urgency to see revenues coming from this property. However, we can also separate short term gain from long term loss. Properly marketed by a motivated team, this valuable asset could be replaced to the register of healthy businesses in Huntington Beach. Additionally, the size and configuration of the structure should attract a prestigious manufacturer- a manufacturer providing jobs rich in depth and broadly based. Ladies and gentlemen, we are business property owners and residents of Huntington Beach. We are also manufacturers. We are your neighbors providing work for 60 people. We are concerned. We stand ready to help and advise where we can. Please hear us now and do not issue this conditional use permit.

We are located in close proximity to 5555 McFadden Ave. I am strongly opposed to the location of a SWAP Meet at that address for the following reasons: 1) Huntington Beach already has a large SWAP Meet at Golden West College. 2) We have experienced crime/vandalism of our industrial site. The influx of people to a SWAP Meet in this area could only increase this problem. 3) We leased the space we currently use with full assurance that this was an industrial area (only) . It has been noted that several current businesses are holding "weekend" sales. The broken beer bottles and fast food litter are now showing up on our street and property. Mixing a SWAP Meet and large volume direct consumer sales into a well organized specialty industrial park is not a good, idea. We for one are already seriously considering moving out of the area (and perhaps out of the state) . The problems created by a SWAP Meet "just around the corner" may be enough to push us out !

We moved into this area in 1978 and have enjoyed your city. It has come to our attention a CUP for a swap meet may be approved on the Weiser Lack facility. At this point, I would like to let you know of our significant disapproval of this use on that property. We presently lease a facility adjacent to the Weiser Lock facility. It is our feeling a swap meet will bring many people to this business/industrial area at a time when our buildings are unoccupied such as weekends. .Swap meets have been known to attract a bad element and at times may bring people to this area who are interested in things other than enjoying the swap meet. We feel our facility will be a target for vandals attracted to this area by the swap meet. I feel the Swap meet held at Golden West College is more than adequate for this area. We are presently lessees in this facility. Our lease is nearing termination. We are hopeful we can purchase a facility in this area. Your approval of a swap meet will guarantee our leaving the City of Huntington Beach. Myself and my associates, two who live in the City are also opposed and have asked me- to voice their negative vote against this swap meet use in our business area.

We are very concerned, because our property is directly across the street from this site(15522 Computer Lane). We are a very small family business and we have a tenant in the other half of our building. We are very concerned that you would allow weekend swap meets in this MI Industrial area. Have you ever driven through this area on Saturday or Sunday afternoon? It is virtually deserted of people and workers. We have had much crime in this area, and the break-ins always occur on the weekends. This area is composed of small mom-andEop industry and we do not work the weekends. We are not there to protect our property against thousands of non-locals coming to some kind of a swap meet. We are most worried about the crime element attracted to a swap meet. Have you visited a similar indoor swap meet that was built on the NE corner of Harbor Blvd. and Warner? That swap meet leased a new building and after 5 years the building is very dirty and the area all around has deteriorated and there are vagrants . Please keep this in mind....a swap meet will deteriorate this nice industrial area of Huntington Beach We want our industrial area to look nice(like Twine's)and be clean and safe from crime. Bringing in 2000 cars and people will just bring in problems. These people are not coming to this area to work, they are just coming to see what they can get....and that leads to loitering and trouble. Thank you, Palplela J. Fast James A.

I hope you can review their concerns prior to the vote to appeal scheduled August 1 , 1994. Many of the points included in this letter are collected from other individuals, offering a wide spectrum of viewpoints and concerns that don't necessarily reflect the interests of Huntington Beach Mall. I have also enclosed recent newspaper articles that raise serious new issues that should also be considered before you vote. I hope you will review the following points: *A swap meet operation in the industrial zone is not in keeping with the "spirit" of the General Plan. Although a recent zoning change was specifically passed to allow for this type of business, the General Plan was quite clear about preserving the industrial sector in order to attract much needed manufacturers to the City. *The swap meet vendors will siphon off existing sales in the City and thereby tax revenues to the City budget. *Established merchants who contribute to the economy by providing jobs, and offer support through rent, utilities, and the purchase of local goods and services, may not be able to stay open with a significant loss of business. Store owners who pay "their way" seven days a week, and hang on for the weekend and holidays, are hit by outside competition that comes in at the most opportune period, and avoids the usual overhead. Existing retailers would be dealt an economic blow by unfair competition. HUNTINGTON BEACH MALL , 7777 EDINGER AVE., #300, P.O. BOX3149 HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA 92647 (714)897-2533 FAX(714)894-7686 The Honorable Mayor and* • -City Council of Huntington Beach July 19, 1994 Page 2 *Vacancy levels for retail and industrial space may increase if the swap meet operation is approved. If the average space rental fee for the swap meet is $200 per month--why would anyone want to go to the expense and trouble to sign a permanent lease in a retail location? The potential new tenant for industrial space near the swap meet is very likely to look elsewhere in order to avoid the negatives that may occur during the weekend when their business is exposed to unusual traffic and conditions created by shoppers and vendors. *The potential to attract other new major retailers to the City may be reduced if the swap meet proves to be draining sales out of the mainstream operations. *The former Weiser Lock building is one of the largest vacant buildings in Orange County. If we remove it from the short list of possible locations, we eliminate a major benefit of attracting a large employer to our City. Note: The brokers and representatives working in favor of the swap meet continually stressed the high vacancy rate that currently exists in our city and Orange County. They also stated that the vacancy rate would continue to increase and that our industrial area is nearly impossible to "lease". Enclosed is a recent article from the Los Angeles Times Business section, which "flies in the face" of those claims that the vacancy rate is high and getting worse. *There is a current demand by an industrial user (R.C.I. based in La Mirada) to lease the entire Weiser Lock facility. This would bring approximately 350 jobs to the city, with employees who would support the retail economy at established locations, including gas stations, convenience stores, restaurants, etc. *The swap meet could be disastrous to the Golden West College swap meet. The income generated from the small operation at the college supports many programs that could be eliminated if the revenue is negatively affected. *The recent Wall Street Journal article (copy enclosed) brings up the issue of gun sales at swap meets. As mentioned in one of our meetings with City Council and representatives for the swap meet, the gun sales are permitted under the law and gun dealers are listed as likely vendors if the swap meet is approved. This could invite an undesirable element into our community, and add to a growing problem of controlling guns. *The special use permit for the swap meet calls for beer and wine sales. Other organizations and businesses in Huntington Beach who apply for permits to sell alcohol are usually denied, even when there is no violation of the ABC regulations. This seems unfair, to approve the swap meet, especially when they do not have a proven track record in the community. The Honorable Mayor and• • City Council of Huntington Beach July 19, 1994 Page 3 *The written language for the swap meet operation is vague in many_ respects. The original use calls for weekends only, yet in our recent meetings with council and swap meet representatives, a question was asked if the swap meet would be open extra days for Christmas. Yes - was the answer. Our concern is that the swap meet will continue to open additional days throughout the year, and become a three or four day event, and be open at other peak retail times of the year. This will aggravate .the negative impact on current retailers in Huntington Beach. *Industrial owners and representatives are convinced that the swap meet operation could create a decline in property values in their area. *The City will need to increase police and fire department services, and other needs related to the swap meet (i.e. trash). *The industrial zone near the former Weiser Lock building has experienced an increase in weekend vandalism and theft. Many of the owners and representatives from this area are convinced the introduction of the swap meet will add to this growing problem and drive more businesses out of the area. I *Our city Treasurer recently stated that getting accurate sales information from this type of operation is slow and difficult, with little enforcement by government agencies to ensure proper reporting for tax purposes. This makes it highly likely that the income from sales tax will be less than true levels would indicate. This further underscores my earlier point that the income generated from the swap meet through business license fees and sales tax will be off-set by losses from other sources. In closing, I would like to thank you for taking the time to review the issues before you vote on the appeal. The recent meetings scheduled with council members and City staff helped to make our points and answer many questions. I am sure you have received other letters from people (both pro and con), and I know you will take all issues into serious consideration when you vote. I I can only think that if the swap meet were being proposed for the beach front, or near the wetlands or downtown area, this subject would be out of the question. The issue of land use is the prime factor--and we need to preserve our industrial zones as they provide an important element in the economic structure that supports the oomm ni.ty. - My last comment is to suggest a possible solution: Form a task group of industrial and community leaders to attract an industrial user for the Weiser Lock building. Perhaps with a little effort, this building can be occupied with a viable employer in a short time. This has been suggested by many v The Honorable Mayor an* • 'City Council of Huntington Beach July 19, 1994 Page 4 people who seem willing to donate their time and talents to this end. Since there is already one interested party (mentioned earlier), perhaps this effort is. not necessary after all. Thank you again for your time.

I am the owner of two pieces of property within blocks of the Weiser facility. My properties are located at 5882 Machine Drive and 15241 Transistor Lane. I have recently been made aware that the Planning Commission voted against the Indoor Swap Meet being housed in the Weiser facility. Having been in business for 16 years in Huntington Beach, 1 have seen the ups and downs of our economy and I can't understand why the Planning Commission would reject such a proposal. It seems that Huntington Beach could use a shot in the arm and certainly some additional jobs. As a neighbor to this property, I see no objection to having some activity of this sort in our business park. The Weiser facility has been deserted for years and is certainly an eye sore to our park as it exists.

It is good for Huntington Beach and is compatible with the surrounding industrial uses. The feeling I am getting from the City is that they would like to keep a big building like this around in case a big user emerged. . .that's a dream! The 1980 's are gone, the defense and aerospace industries are a fraction of their former size, and any large user would go out of state due to California's high operating costs. Huntington Beach is a small user market of 5-10, 000 square foot buildings surrounded by an incubator base of widget multi- tenant buildings. All of them would feed off the day to day swap meet activity and would provide a reason to move related businesses to Huntington Beach. Visitors buy food, hair cuts, gas, flowers, pay taxes, etc. ; money gets spent in our city. The Planning Commission must have something other than jobs and employment on their minds.

I am owner of a commercial building at 15221 Connector Lane, and lease this building to my corporation, H. B. Evans Co., Inc.

As the second business to become operational on Argosy Avenue some seventeen (17) years ago, I have watched this surrounding area grow into what was proposed then and is now a fine industrial business park. Leaving Los Angeles and moving my business to Huntington Beach was to "get away" from the deterioration of that area and the daily reduction in property values. Now, as I look at a proposed indoor "swap meet" the disadvantages far out weigh the advantages. Examples are increased crime and vandalism already taking place on my property on Argosy, graffiti, traffic, transients, etc. By experience, there is not enough law enforcement available now to cover this industrial park, let alone adding a "swap meet" and its effects to further fuel the fire. It is time for the City of Huntington Beach and its lawmakers to stand up and support the existing businesses and our values in this area and deny a conditional use permit for a swap meet. Instead, the City of Huntington Beach should offer incentives for good solid companies to move into this- business park, organize to fill up the vacancies and reinvigorate a high quality of manufacturers and services and not something as un-characteristic as a "swap meet". This permit, if approved, will be the first major step in the deterioration of this area and the first major step in driving good solid businesses out of Huntington Beach.

We understand this company is from back east and feel it may detract from local business.

This decision, in my opinion and the opinion of other business operators in the area, will undermine property values and increase the potential problems of vandalism, graffiti, and traffic problem for adjacent businesses. It will bring many people into the area, some of whom will be the wrong element. Long term it will lead to the decline of, what presently is, one of only two commercial in-fill business parks between Long Beach and Irvine. We are a growing $20M/year international business that was recently a recipient of the Orange County Entrepreneur of the Year Award. We are currently considering the purchase of a 55,000 square foot location nearby our present location. . Both are very near the Weiser lock facility. Our decision to stay in the area will be predicated on the City's ability to work with us on making a smooth transition to our new site (due to the improvements we intend to make) and whether the Weiser lock facility is used as a Swap Meet site. Although both myself and our employees enjoy our current site, there are other alternatives in Fountain Valley and the IBC that meet our needs. I am sure you realize the value of business operators that are committed as "long term residents" in providing jobs and creating wealth for the community. It is my opinion that Huntington Beach would be much better off, if we could attract a ,major company that would impact the general economic climate by creating jobs and opportunities in the wake of diminishing activity at McDonnell Douglas. I hopeful that each of you will carefully weigh the long term implications of this decision carefully. Thank you for taking the time to consider my comments and views.
