Attachment(s)
Statement of Issue:
The Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park will be a 106 acre County maintained and operated
regional park facility that spans over both City and County jurisdictions. Approximately 57
acres are located within the City of Huntington Beach and require City approval.
Transmitted for City Council consideration is a request by the County of Orange, Public
Facilities and Resources Department, Harbor Beaches and Parks Design Division, for the
following items regarding the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park:
Approval in Concept for the Update of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park
General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan (GDP/RMP). The Updated
GDP/RMP for the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park is intended to serve as the
guideline for development of the entire 106 acre park. The GDP/RMP is the basis for
subsequent park design level plans and, in its original form (known as the Bolsa Chica
Regional Park General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan) was approved
in concept by the City in October 1992. Since then, the overall character of the park
has evolved from a predominantly open turf/play area park into a predominantly natural
park with two 3 acre neighborhood park nodes and an interpretive center facility. In
response to the City Council's April 1996 action, requesting that the County revise the
GDP/RMP to reflect this primarily natural park concept, the County is submitting an
update to the original GDP/RMP to the City for approval in concept.
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: April 21, 1997 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CD 97-25
• Approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit
No. 97-9(to allow development of Phase 1 of the Harriett Wieder Regional Park
consistent with the guidelines of the Updated General Development Plan.). The
County is also requesting approval for development of Phase 1 of the Regional Park.
Phase 1 consists of a total of approximately 51 acres of park area stretching between
Garfield Avenue and the existing oil company heliport located just east of Pacific Coast
Highway. Approximately 26 of these acres, generally located along Seapoint Street,
between Garfield and Palm Avenues, are located within the City's jurisdiction.
Phase 1 consists of construction of the following improvements: bicycle and
riding/hiking trails, vista points, native habitat restoration, a three acre neighborhood
park node (including play ground, turf and picnic area), a 100 space parking area, and
a 5,000 square foot interpretive center (located within the County's jurisdiction).
• Approval of Addendum to Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 521. The
County has prepared an addendum to the EIR (No. 521, also prepared by the County)
for the original GDP/RMP. The Addendum is intended to supplement the original EIR
by identifying the changes to the GDP/RMP proposed by the update. A new EIR was
not considered necessary, since the impacts associated with the GDP/RMP Update
and Phase 1 (CUP 97-18/CDP 97-9) have been identified to be at a lesser degree than
the original GDP/RMP. These issues have been described in greater detail in the
attached EIR addendum. The City will need to adopt the EIR addendum prior to action
on the Coastal Development Permit and Conditional Use Permit applications.
The County has indicated that it presently has funding available to construct the first phase
of the Regional Park and is intent on processing permits and entitlements for Phase 1 in
time to meet the November 1997 planting season. In an attempt to assist the County in
meeting its goal, this application was expedited to the Planning Commission for action at
its April 8, 1997 meeting and is being brought before the City Council this evening. (Note:
Planning Commission action was a recommendation to the City Council; the City Council's
action on the Conditional Use Permit and Coastal Development Permit will be the final
action. Upon City approval in concept of the General Development Plan/Resource
Management Plan 1997 Update, the County will forward the General Development Plan to
the Orange County Board of Supervisors for final approval.)
Funding Source: Not applicable.

Analysis:
A. PROJECT PROPOSAL:
APPLICANT: County of Orange, Public Facilities and Resources Department, Harbors,
Beaches and Parks Design Division
REQUEST: Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9, Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18,
General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan 1997 Update and
Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No. 521
LOCATION: 5801 Seapoint Street
The County has submitted an application for development of the first phase of the park as
well as approval in concept for the conceptual plan for the entire 106 acre park. The CUP
97-18/CDP 97-9 application represents a proposal for development of areas of the first
phase of the park that lie within the City of Huntington Beach and the 1997 update of the
General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan (GDP/RMP) represents the
conceptual plan for the entire 106 acre park. A general description of the requests has
been provided in pages 5 through 7 of Attachment No. 2 (Planning Commission Staff
Report).
B. BACKGROUND
Development of the Regional Park has been a long and complicated process. Throughout
the park planning process, the plans have run into a broad range of issues and changing
values which have reshaped the concept for the park.
A matrix of the Planning process has been provided on pages 7 through 9 of the Planning
Commission staff report to help the City Council recall how the park concept has evolved
into the plan that is before them this evening.
C. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION:
The Departments of Public Works, Fire, Police and Community Services have reviewed the
proposed project. Comments were received from the Departments of Fire, Public Works,
and Police and have been incorporated as conditions of approval where appropriate.
(Please refer to Attachments 6, 7, and 8 for Fire, Public Works, and Police Department
comments of the Planning Commission Staff Report, respectively). However, Fire and
Traffic have expressed two potentially significant concerns with the project, that potentially
involve some modification to the plans, and are discussed in greater detail below.

Fire Protection Emergency Access
Although the Regional Park will be maintained and operated by the County, emergency
services (including fire protection) for the park will be provided by the City of Huntington
Beach Fire Department (pursuant to the November 1979 Agreement). In its review of the
updated park plans, the City Fire Department indicated that the native vegetation and
predominantly natural character of the 106 acre Regional Park is a unique condition in the
City of Huntington Beach. The City does not have all terrain type fire fighting equipment
that is typically used for fire protection of these types of areas. The all terrain apparatus
tend to be smaller and lighter for better manueverability in these conditions. Fire service is
to be provided by the City's standard fire engine, which is the City'smallest fire fighting
vehicle.
Fire engines, which would provide fire and emergency medical services to the park, require
a minimum of twelve (12) foot wide emergency access roads; furthermore, the access
needs to be constructed of all-weather material and engineered to accommodate forty
thousand pounds. As proposed, the trails are ten (10) feet wide and either are paved or
decomposed granite, neither of which has been designed to accommodate the fire
apparatus weight.
The unmanicured plant materials tend to create potential brush fire conditions, which when
combined with the insufficient emergency access, creates potentially serious problems
from a fire protection and emergency access standpoint. To resolve this problem, the Fire
Department has recommended that the bicycle/pedestrian trail and maintenance road be
modified to provide a minimum twelve (12) foot wide emergency access road constructed
of all weather material and engineered to accommodate fire apparatus of forty thousand
pounds. They also recommend that the proposed decomposed granite parking lot surface
be modified to an all-weather material and engineered to accommodate fire apparatus of
forty thousand pounds; this would allow for fire and emergency medical access to the
interpretive center and local park node.
Although it has been the City and County's intent to minimize paving in the park to the
extent possible, staff believes that the additional trail width and surfacing concerns are
public safety issues which need to be addressed. While compliance with Fire access
standards may require additional paved surfaces in the park, the Fire Department has
indicated that paving is not the only alternative. City and County staff have been meeting
to discuss potential alternatives for meeting the Fire Department's access requirements
and maintaining the natural character of the park. However, due to the expedited
processing schedule for the Regional Park, the details of how this issue is to be resolved
where not able to be worked out prior to preparation of this report.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: April 21, 1997 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CD 97-25
Staff is recommending that the project be conditioned to provide adequate emergency
access roads and parking lot access to accommodate fire apparatus This will allow the
project to move forward while City and County staff continue to work out the details in how
fire access will be provided while maintaining the natural character of the park. In addition
staff has also recommended a condition that if additional paving is required for adequate
emergency access, paved paths and parking areas shall be colored to match decomposed
granite to minimize the visual impacts from the additional paved surfaces. (Please refer to
conditions 4 and 9.)
Traffic Sight Distance
The Traffic Division also reviewed the proposed project and has expressed concerns
regarding the location of the left turn median break from Seapoint northbound into the
proposed parking lot. Based upon their field review, the proposed median break is located
at the beginning of a curve in Seapoint Street and is beyond the crest of a vertical curve.
Traffic indicates that this combination of conditions does not provide adequate sight
distance for safely turning across opposing traffic at high speed. They recommend that the
proposed parking lot entry not be approved until a traffic study is prepared to verify that
adequate sight distance is provided in conformance with existing design criteria for
highways (per Cai-Trans Highway Design manual). As an alternative, the traffic division
suggested that the driveway entrance be relocated to align with Doral Drive, as it would
provide adequate sight distance and reduce construction costs due to the existing median
break.
This issue has also been relayed to the County. The County indicated that safe parking lot
access was a concern to them as well and that they believe that the proposed median
break location does comply with the Cal-Trans design criteria; they also indicated that they
are willing to submit the recommended study to provide evidence of compliance. The
County did express concern with the suggested alternate entrance location as it could
result other issues (which were resolved by the present location) and require significant
redesign of parking lot and adjoining areas of the park. Since they believe that the
proposed location meets the sight distance requirements, the County has requested that
the study be required as a condition on the project.
Staff agrees, and is recommending that submittal of a traffic study be a condition of
approval of the project. In addition, staff recommends that in the event the study indicates
that the left-turn access is unable to meet sight distance standards, the access shall be
designed as a right-turn in/out accessway or, relocated to meet sight distance standards (if
the County determines that left-turn access is necessary). Recommended conditions
further suggest that relocation of the parking area entrance (as well as any resulting
modifications to the park plan) be subject to review and approval by the City Council.
(Please refer to condition 6.)

Controlled Pedestrian Crossing on Seapoint Street
At the March 25, 1997, Planning Commission study session, the Planning Commission
inquired whether any traffic signals where proposed along Seapoint Street to provide
controlled crossing points for future park users. This issue has been relayed to the City's
Traffic Division who have indicated that neither of the street intersections along Seapoint
(between Palm and Garfield Avenues) meets the warrants for a traffic signal; the
intersections (at Cherryhill and Doral), therefore, are not on the City's Signal Installation
and Modification Priority List- The priority list is the basis for allocating the City's limited
funds toward the intersections which have the worst problems. The Traffic Division has
indicated that there are presently more than thirty intersections in the City that need work
and that City funding for installation and maintenance of a signal on Seapoint is not
available.
However, the Traffic Division has also indicated that pedestrians can safely cross Seapoint
Street at Doral Drive, as there is an unmarked crosswalk (per the California Vehicle Code
sections 275 and 21950) at this location, and that relocation of the parking area access
point to Doral Drive will enhance compliance with this crossing area.
D. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND RECOMMENDATION:
The County of Orange Harbors, Beaches and Parks Design Division made a presentation
on the proposed park improvements. The County indicated that they were confident that
the above issues could be resolved and that the proposed conditions (including the
provision of the 12 foot wide fire access roads and submittal of the sight distance study)
were acceptable.
Five people spoke at the meeting including neighbors, and representatives of
environmental groups. All five speakers expressed support for the proposed park plans.
However, the above three issues remained to be of great concern to the Planning
Commission.
Fire Protection and Emergency Access
The Planning Commission strongly opposed revision of the Regional Park plans to provide
the additional 2 foot trail width and surfacing required to accomodate City fire engines.
They expressed concerns that such requirements would result in additional paving in the
park which was not consistent with the natural character of the park. The Planning
Commission was concerned that fire access issues would spoil the natural character of the
park. The Commission revised condition # 4 by adding sub-section d which allows for
modification of the condition subject to approval by the Fire Chief to allow for greater
flexibility in satisfying this condition. (Please refer to condition #4 of Attachment No. 1.
Planning Commission revised text has been indicated in bold italics).

MEETING DATE: April 21, 1997 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CD 97-25
The Commission also requested that the fire department look into alternative fire fighting
apparatus which could handle the natural terrain of the park. The Commission believed
that with future development of the Bolsa Chica wetlands and adjoining residential
development that the City may be heading toward more fire protection conditions of similar
nature and may have a need for such apparatus.
I
Location of the Left-turn Median Break
Due to the potential impacts resulting from the potential need for relocation of the parking
area entrance should sight distance standards not be able to be met, the Planning
Commission felt that it was important for the City Council to know the results of the study
prior to taking action on the Regional Park. The Planning Commission also revised
condition #6 to require review of plans by the Planning Commission should the entrance of
the parking area need to be relocated to another area of the park to meet sight distance
requirements. (Please refer to condition #6 of Attachment No. 1. Planning Commission
revised text has been indicated in bold italics).
The County was made aware of the recommended condition regarding submittal of a traffic
study to verify compliance with sight distance standards and had iniitiated preparation of
the traffic study while waiting for Planning Commission hearing. The County indicated that
the study was almost ready for transmittal to the City, but was not ready in time for the
Planning Commission meeting. They anticipated submittal of the report to the Traffic
Division in the next few days.
Controlled Pedestrian Crossing on Seapoint Street
The Planning Commission expressed concerns over providing a neighborhood park facility
across Seapoint without providing a controlled. pedestrian crossing on Seapoint to allow for
safe access the park. The Commission requested that the Traffic Division provide a report
on the costs and availabilty for funding for providing a controlled crosswalk along Seapoint.
The Commission suggested that some consideration might be given to dividing the costs
among the City, County and homeowners.
By straw vote, the Planning Commission requested that the following items be provided to
the City Council for consideration at this evenings meeting:
o Information on alternative fire protection apparatus capable of handling the terrain of
the park without requiring widening of the trail;
o A traffic study to verify that adequate sight distance is provided at the proposed median
break on Seapoint Street northbound into the parking area; and
o A report on the availability of funding to install a crossover light to allow safe pedestrian
crossing on Seapoint.

E. SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council approve of Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9,
Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18, General Development Plan/Resource Management
Plan 1997 and Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No. 521 for the following
reasons:
The'project is consistent with the Open Space Recreation General Plan Land Use
Designations for the entire GDP/RMP area, as well as the Phase 1 area by allowing for
development of a system of trails linking the City parks, beaches and bluffs and
maximizing the preservation of scenic, geographical and topographical sites in the City.
The proposed project (GDP/RMP and Phase 1) is consistent with the City's desire for a
predominantly natural regional park with two neighborhood park areas (not to exceed 6
acres) and an interpretive center facility.
The proposed project preserves the existing environmental resource area (in the
ravine) to the extent possible while minimizing future erosion problems and providing
safe circulation around the ravine.
The proposed project minimizes the visual impacts of the parking lot and interpretive
center by locating them in a topographically depressed area where the former gas plant
was located.
The project is consistent with the goals of the City's General Plan by providing
enhanced recreational and open space opportunities in the City.
The project is consistent with the City's Coastal Element of the General Plan by
providing additional opportunities for pedestrian/vehicle/equestrian and visual access to
the Bolsa Chica and surrounding coastal areas.
With the conditions suggested by staff to provide adequate emergency fire access and
traffic sight distance, the project will not be detrimental to the general health, welfare
and safety of park users or persons living in the area.
With the conditions suggested by staff, Phase 1 of the Regional Park can be
adequately accommodated by the City's infrastructure and emergency service systems.
(Specific infrastructure and emergency service needs for future phases of development
will be subject to City approval at time of application for each phase.)

Environmental Status:
The County has prepared an addendum to the EIR (No. 521, also prepared by the County)
for the original GDP/RMP. The Addendum is intended to supplement the original EIR by
identifying the changes to the GDP/RMP proposed by the update. Preparation of a new
EIR was not considered necessary, since the impacts associated with the GDP/RMP
Update and Phase 1 (CUP/CDP) have been identified to be at a lesser degree than the
original GDP/RMP due to the less intensive nature of the park and associated park
development activities. These issues have been described in greater detail in the attached
addendum. (Please refer to Attachment 5.)
The Addendum is intended to address the environmental impacts associated with the
revised GDP/RMP and development of Phase 1 of the Regional Park and constitutes the
environmental documentation for the project, to comply with the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA, the City Council
will need to adopt the addendum prior to action on the Coastal Development Permit and
Conditional Use Permit applications.

AND ADDENDUM TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 521
PHASE 1 OF THE HARRIETT M. WIEDER REGIONAL PARK
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL -ADDENDUM TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
NO. 521:
1. The General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan 1997 Update (1997
GDP/RMP) is of a less intense nature than the original 1992 General Development
Plan/Resource Management Plan (1992 GDP/RMP), which was analyzed in
Environmental Impact Report No. 521 (EIR No. 521). The Addendum to EIR No. 521
identifies the amendments to the original 1992 GDP/RMP proposed by the 1997
GDP/RMP, and contains an issue by issue comparison of impacts including any new
information, substantial changes in previously identified impacts, and the adequacy of
mitigation measures contained in EIR No. 521.
2. The Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No. 521 documents that the 1997
General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan, is a less intense park plan
that will not result in any new or more severe impacts than those addressed in EIR No.
521 and requires implementation of the mitigation measures identified in EIR No. 521.
Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No. 521 verifies that the 1997 GDP/RMP
will not result in new significant environmental impacts or an increase in the severity of
previously identified impacts; and that no substantial changes have occurred with
respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which require major
revisions to EIR No. 521; and that no new information is available that would result in
identification of any new impacts or the feasibility of implementing new mitigation which
would substantial reduce a significant impact.
3. The Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No. 521 adequately addresses and
mitigates the environmental impacts associated with the 1997 General Development
Plan/Resource Management Plan, and development in compliance with the plan.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 97-18/COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 97-9:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for the
development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park project, enhances
recreational and open space opportunities in the City in a manner that is consistent with
the natural character of the Regional Park.
2. With the conditions suggested by staff to provide adequate emergency fire access and
traffic sight distance, Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development
Permit No. 97-9 for the development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional
Park project will not be detrimental to the general health, welfare and safety of park
users or persons living in the area.
3. Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for the
development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park project, will be
compatible with surrounding uses because the trails and vista overlooks (and other
proposed facilities located within the City's jurisdiction) are an extension of and are
complementary to the existing recreational facilities in the area and are of a passive
nature that is compatible with residential and wetland restoration uses in the area.
4. The proposed trails and vista overlooks will comply with the provisions of the base
districts which are 941 and 942 and other applicable provisions in.Division 9 of the
Huntington Beach Zoning Code and any specific conditions required for the proposed
use in the district in which it would be located.
5. The granting of the Conditional Use permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit
No. 97-9 for the development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park
project, will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the Land Use
Element designation of Open Space Recreation on the subject property. The Phase 1
plans include a system of trails which will ultimately connect Central Park to the beach
and will preserve and enhance the scenic character of the area while minimizing
grading of the area (for slope stabilization) to maintain the topography of the area to the
extent possible. As such, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the
General Plan:
a. To capitalize on the outdoor and environmental potential of the City by:
1) developing a system of trails liking the City parks, beaches, and bluffs; and
2) maximizing the preservation of scenic, geological, and topographical sites.

6. The granting of the Conditional Use permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit
No. 97-9 for the development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park
project, will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the Coastal
Element of the General Plan. The plans are for development of the first phase of the
Regional Park and will facilitate provision of a trail system from Central Park to the
beach which will provide enhanced visual and physical public access opportunities to
the area. The plans will replace non-native vegetation and preserve existing native
species to the extent possible. In addition, the plans for areas within the City consist of
relatively passive recreational facilities (such as trails, open turf/play areas, picnic
areas, and parking) which are compatible with the natural character of the park. As
such, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the Local Coastal Program:
• Protect, encourage, and where feasible provide a variety of recreation facilities
which provide opportunities for all income groups.
• Support the development of the Bolsa Chica linear park (now the Harriett M. Wieder
Regional Park) and the implementation of a continuous trail system from Huntington
Central Park to the beach along the perimeter of the Bolsa Chica; establish an
implementation plan for the Bolsa Chica linear park in cooperation with the County
of Orange.
• Support recreational facilities in the Bolsa Chica linear park that:
• Emphasize a low intensity character for that portion of the park within the
City's coastal zone.
• Locate any higher intensity uses in nodes consistent with adjacent areas.
• Limit above ground structures to support facilities such as restrooms, picnic
tables, and bike racks.
• Site all uses so as to preserve views to the adjacent Bolsa Chica.
• Promote public access to coastal wetlands for limited nature study, passive
recreation and other low intensity uses compatible with the sensitive nature of these
areas.
• Support the development of the Bolsa Chica linear park and the implementation of a
continuous trail system from Huntington Central Park to the beach along the
western perimeter of the Holly-Seacliff Master Plan area.
• Promote the removal and clean-up of oil operations within the linear park.
• Preserve and enhance visual resources within the coastal zone.
• Improve the appearance of visually degraded areas.
• Preserve and enhance environmentally sensitive habitats including the Bolsa Chica
which is within the sphere of influence of the City of Huntington Beach.

• Approve only that development adjacent to wetlands and environmentally sensitive
habitat areas that does not significantly degrade habitat values and which is
compatible with the continuance of habitat.
• Require that new development contiguous to wetland or environmentally sensitive
habitat areas to include buffers which will consist of a minimum of one hundred foot
setback from the existing landward edge of the wetland where possible. If existing
development or site configuration precludes a 100 foot buffer, the buffer shall be
established according to the factors listed in Policy 9c [of the Coastal Element
regarding the development of specifications for buffers under different scenarios]
and shall be reviewed by the Department of Fish and Game.
• Promote the improvement of biological productivity and appearance of wetland
habitats.
• Promote the provision of adequate community facilities within the coastal zone.
• Ensure that adequate parking is provided in all new development in the coastal
zone.
7. The project is consistent with the requirements of the CZ Overlay District, the base
zoning district, as well as other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code.
8. Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for the
development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park project, with the
conditions suggested by staff, Phase 1 of the Regional Park, can be adequately
accommodated by the City's infrastructure and emergency service systems. (Specific
infrastructure and emergency service needs for future phases of development will be
subject to City approval at time of application for each phase.)
9. The Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for
the development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park project conforms
with the policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act by preserving the existing
environmental resource area (in the ravine) to the extent possible while minimizing
future erosion problems and providing safe circulation around the ravine; minimizing the
visual impacts of the parking lot and interpretive center by locating them in a
topographically depressed area where the former gas plant was located; providing
enhanced recreational and open space opportunities in the City; and providing
additional opportunities for pedestrian/vehicle/ equestrian and visual access to the

Page 6 - Council/Agency Minutes - 04/21/97
B08 BIDDLE, President, Huntington Beach Tomorrow, stated the organization's support for
the proactive attitude that Council and staff have taken relative to the agenda item regarding
Broad Criteria Objectives for Shea Business Properties - (Waterfront Development). He stated
they did have anxiety with respect to the language which references mixed use. He
questioned the recommendation on the agenda to appoint a subcommittee for the Huntington
Central Park Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report and referred to public surveys
taken in support of passive use. Mr. Biddle requested that if a subcommittee on this subject is
formed that Huntington Beach Tomorrow be allowed representation on the committee.
Mr. Biddle congratulated Councilmember Garofalo regarding his recent letter in the Los
Angeles Times concerning youth, education and crime and stated he hoped this message was
heard at the top level by the state lawmakers.
CHUCK BEAUREGARD, representing Save Our Kids, informed Council, in response to
Mr. Biddle's statement, the survey stated that Huntington Central Park should have passive
and active uses. He spoke regarding Save Our Kids support of the agenda item relative to
Peterson School youth sports field renovation. He requested that additional funding be
expended by the city for similar repair of fields, informing Council that youth groups would
volunteer to labor.
JERRY BUCHANAN, representing Huntington Beach City School District, spoke in support of
the agenda item pertaining to the Peterson School youth sports field renovation. He informed
Council of the benefits to the youth from this action.
DOUGLAS BEAUCHAMP, general contractor, spoke regarding the item presented by
Councilmember Sullivan on this evening's agenda relative to the deletion of prevailing wages
in construction contracts. He informed Council that it would depend on the activity as to
whether money will actually be saved; that if it is a highly technical skill that is required,the
savings will not occur. He presented an example of his viewpoint. He stated that from his own
experience as a general contractor and from his experience in the trade, he would urge that
Council not take this action.
RICHARD MC GUIRE spoke in opposition to the agenda item presented by Councilmember
Sullivan regarding deletion of prevailing wages for Public Works contracts as he believes it
would be taking a step back in the City of Huntington Beach to take such action. He stated
that cutting back wages, among other things, cuts back buying power and standard of living.
JIM SHAW, Carpenters/Contractors Cooperation Committee, addressed Council in opposition
to the item presented by Councilmember Sullivan on the agenda relative to the deletion of
prevailing wage rates for Public Works contracts. He cited loss of taxes paid by city residents
involved in the trades and loss of health care coverage for these residents which would impose
a financial burden on the public. He urged Council to keep the City Mission Statement to
preserve the quality of life.
ED HESKETT, Carpenters/Contractors Cooperation Committee, informed Council that he had
put the prevailing wage rate document together of which they had been provided a copy. He
stated if Council had questions relative to this issue he would be glad to answer them.
Mr. Heskett stated the problem he believed there is for accepting the lowest responsible
bidder. He presented an example from the City of Shasta where a school had to be
condemned and demolished due to an award to a bidder who did not pay prevailing wages
874
04/21/97 - City Council/Redevelopment Agency Minutes - Page 7
and had workers who did not know what they were doing. He spoke regarding the social
consequences, including lowering the standard of living for trade persons.
PETE BYRNE addressed Council in opposition to the item presented by Councilmember
Sullivan on the agenda relative to the deletion of prevailing wage rates for Public Works
contracts. He stated by paying prevailing wage rates that the city will get a better quality
project, better workmanship, and the project will stand over time better. He informed Council
that he has worked on public works jobs that are low bid that have many problems such as
work getting covered up by concrete which cannot be caught by inspectors causing concrete
and walls to be torn out. He stated that prevailing wage does not necessarily mean taking a
union contractor, that he has worked on prevailing wage jobs that are 50 - 50 union and non-
union contractor.
DWIGHT KARR addressed Council regarding the item placed on the agenda by
Councilmember Sullivan regarding the deletion of prevailing wage rates on Public Works
contracts. He stated that as a Huntington Beach resident he is involved in his community and
patronizes city businesses. He informed Council that he had worked both union and non-
union jobs and stated that prevailing wage law benefits employers and employees. He stated
that currently he is a foreman on the Ronald Reagan Federal Building and Courthouse. He
stated that he had been a foreman on the Cal Poly job and the Ziggerott Building in Laguna
Niguel and had seen the unskilled and untrained workers and the continual trouble and the
problems that they had in trying to get their job done.
WARREN CONDE addressed Council in opposition to the item placed on the agenda by
1 Councilmember Sullivan relative to deletion of prevailing wages rates on Public Works
contracts. He cited how working for prevailing wages had benefited him. He stated that he
believed this proposed action would show a disregard for the working family.
VI COWDEN read a "letter" from a beautiful white Egret expressing appreciation for the
stopover at the Bolsa Chica and opposing the Koll Development due to dogs and cats preying
on wildlife. The "letter" urged preservation of the mesa and requested no water for Koll.
AL SHADE, recurrent city lifeguard, Surf City Lifesaving Employees' Association (SCLEA),
distributed an employee package offered to those interested in becoming a city lifeguard. He
read the outstanding record of the lifeguards printed on the material which cited a record of
over 9 million visitors each year and over 2,000 rescues. He spoke regarding Page 2 of the
package which mandates wanting to know what persons do in their spare time. He stated his
concern that this was Orwellian in nature and requested Council action so that it does not
happen again.
JOHN BEEBE, Surf City Lifesaving Employees' Association (SCLEA), stated that lifeguard
towers are left closed on a busy weekend as there is no longer the interest of kids to serve.
He stated he and another experienced lifeguard are laid off because they have worked too
many hours. He read a letter to his operations supervisor written on April 13, 1997 requesting
an explanation as to his employment situation as well as stating the city can save money by
cutting labor but if someone dies in the water as a result, he hopes the decision makers will be
prepared to accept the responsibility.

the area as compared with other library users.

the program proposed by Council. Mr. Hawley spoke regarding why he believes their services

club. He informed Council that kids and their parents need the Boys and Girls Club's help.

The City Clerk announced, pursuant to the Brown Act, that she had just received from the City
Administrator a slide presentation by Councilman David Garofalo titled CDBG Funding: Some
Issues--Some Questions.
Following his slide presentation, Councilmember Garofalo spoke further stating that he
believed the process needed to be changed.
Mayor Pro Tern Dettloff spoke regarding the need to not cause divisiveness during the
allocation process.
Discussion was held between Councilmember Green and Ms. Runzel regarding-the possibility
of whether any public service cap funds will become available for the Oakview Community
Center, Project Self-Sufficiency, and the Boys and Girls Club to allow them the funds originally
recommended by the Citizens Participation Advisory Board (CPAB). Councilmember Green
suggested that if there are any reallocation funds from the public service cap that the Boys and
Girls Club be placed in the top priority.
Councilmember Julien questioned whether$15,000 would give the job center a start.
The Police Chief responded regarding the gang prevention and the Boys and Girls Club
programs stating that to a certain degree they serve two different purposes relative to clientele.
Councilmember Garofalo, in response to Councilmember Julien, stated that the Fountain
Valley City Council and Westminster City Council allocated the program funding themselves
last week.
Councilmember Sullivan suggested cutting the job center to $10,000 thus saving $5,000 and
cutting $13,000 from Project Self-Sufficiency or to cut the job center completely.
In response to Councilmember Harman, Tanya Grimes, Executive Director, Boys and Girls
Clubs of Huntington Valley, informed Council that $1.8 million is the total budget for the
Huntington Valley Boys and Girls Club.
The Police Chief informed Council of the possibility that the gang prevention program and the
teen program could be consolidated in certain segments to save a portion of the money.
Carol Runzel, Assistant Project Manager, responded to the Mayor that if the Action Plan is
adopted at this meeting, there will not be a problem in amending the plan later.
At the request of Council, Max Madrid addressed Council regarding the gang prevention
program, stating that the program deals citywide, not just in the Oakview area.
A motion was made by Sullivan, second Julien, to delete $8,000 from the Project Self-
Sufficiency Program which would leave the funding the same as last year, and to delete an
additional $5,000 from the day laborer center.
Councilmember Harman presented reasons why the recommendations of the Council liaisons
should be approved with perhaps some revisions to be made later.
883
Page 16 - Council/Agency Minutes - 04/21/97
At the request of Council, Police Lieutenant Ochoa stated that working with $10,000 would be
tough and the job center could not remain open all week. He informed.Council that $15,000
would cover one staff member four to five days per week.
Ms. Grimes informed Council that the $1.8 million are primarily for day care needs.
Councilmember Sullivan stated that he would like to see the businesses impacted by the day

Fund such as had occurred last year.

Seapoint Street recommending that Condition No. 6 be deleted and replaced with the
following:
The Seapoint Street median island shall be modified to provide unobstructed view for the
required distance north of the proposed left turn opening. Median modifications shall be
designed subject to approval by the Public Works Department.
Councilmember Green spoke regarding the comments by Jan Thomas, Huntington Beach
Police Department Crime Prevention, contained in the staff report for safety conditions as they.
pertain to the safety of children relative to the level of the parking lot and placement of berms
for an unobstructed view of patrol cars. The Police Chief responded to Councilmember
Green's questions stating that the Police Department recommendation is based upon what
they believe to be a sound recommendation and that Jan Thomas is the Police Department's
expert in crime prevention through environmental design and has had extensive training in this
area. He stated that in the Police Department's best professional judgment they believe
anytime there is a parking area, especially in a park, that it should be visible from the street,
not just for observance of the area by passing police officers but for neighbors in the area to
be able to help police monitor activities in the park. He stated that as pointed out in
Ms. Thomas' comments, the types of crimes that might occur in this area could very easily
victimize children so the Police Department feels it very important that the parking lot be more
visible from the street so that the Police Department's chances are increased to prevent those
types of crimes.
Councilmember Green stated that at the time a motion is made he would like to add another
condition-5 (f): for public safety purposes, the elevation of the parking lot and size of the
berms should be subject to review and approval by the Police Department.
In response to Mayor Pro Tern Dettloff regarding what the three outstanding issues are, the
Community Development Director stated that the third issue under consideration is a
memorandum from the Public Works Department to her dated April 17, 1997--Response To
Planning Commission Request Relative To A Traffic Signal Warrant Study On Seapoint Street.
Mayor Pro Tern Dettloff confirmed with the Community Development Director that coming into
this hearing that every issue and concern that staff had is addressed and resolved.
Denny Turner, Manager, County of Orange Public Facilities and Resources Department,
Harbors, Beaches and Parks Design Division, responded to Councilmember Sullivan's
questions regarding the issue of the necessity to fill the ravine. He stated that there would no
loss of wetlands in this issue. He reported further on the matter.
Traffic Engineer Jim Otterson reported on the left turn situation site distance issue at the
proposed entrance to Wieder Park on Seapoint Street. He stated that it would not be at Doral
Drive but further north. He reported that they are in the process of a traffic/pedestrian signal
warrant study; however, he cannot say at this time what the determination will be.
Councilmember Harman stated that he would like to place a condition on the project that the
county pay for the traffic signal.

question regarding a one-half basketball court, stating that it did not appear to be feasible.

was discussed and the Public Works Director stated that the runoff from the homes was more
likely to be an issue than Green Acres water.

had informed him that there are no county funds available for county payment for a traffic

Public Works Director, Subject: Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park Response To Planning
Commission Requests
LAURA MADARIAGA addressed Council in favor of the county proposal and requested that it
not be changed at all. She stated that the county and staff had done a fine job and everyone
is happy. She spoke in opposition to the suggestion raised about moving the parking lot
entrance. Ms. Madariaga stated her opposition to a Planning Commissioner's
recommendation for a signal as her home backed Seapoint Street and she would have to hear
the sounds of cars speeding up to the signal, screeching to a halt, then speeding away from it;
also the fumes coming over their back wall. She stated there is a valid concern for safe
crossing; however, she cited reasons why she did not believe this is an issue, including other
areas of the city such as at Huntington Central Park coming down Edwards Street which is a
busy street; there is just a crosswalk at Inlet Drive.
Mayor Bauer commented to Ms. Madariaga regarding the importance of the development of
the park proceeding.
888

delay could kill this park as the previous speaker and the Mayor have so eloquently stated.

park planning and the benefits of the park to the community.
There being no one further present to speak on the matter and there being no protests filed,

A motion was made by Dettloff, second Garofalo, to approve the Addendum to Environmental
Impact Report No. 521 with recommended findings and mitigation measures as set forth in
Attachment No. 1 to the Request for Council Action dated April 21,1997. The motion carried

A motion was made by Dettloff, second Julien, to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18
and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park
with recommended findings and revised conditions of approval as set forth in Attachment No. 1
to the Request for Council Action dated April 21, 1997 with the following revision to Condition
of Approval No. 4:
(1) That the Fire Department has reached an agreement with the County of Orange to satisfy
- the Fire Department's safety needs.
a. Fire access roads shall be a minimum width of 12 fee 10 feet with a 2 foot shy
distance on each side.
(2) That the signal at Seapoint Street will be reviewed by the Public Works Commission and
action taken by Council at a later time.
(3) That we are in aareement as to where the left hand turn lane on Seapoint Street should be
placed according to the county's map.
and further that Condition of Approval No. 6 be deleted and replaced with the following:

required distance north of the proposed left turn opening. Median modifications shall be
designed subject to approval by the Public Works Department.
A motion was made by Green, second Sullivan, to add the following condition on Page 21, (5),
(f) that for public safety purposes the elevation of the parking lot and the size of the berms
shall be subject to review and approval by the Police Department.
In response to a question by Mayor Pro Tem Dettloff, Mr. Turner, Manager of the County of
Orange Public Facilities and Resources Department, Harbors, Beaches and Parks Design
Division, reported on how this motion would impact the park development. He stated that the
889
Page 22 - Council/Agency Minutes - 04/21/97
county wanted the police to be able to see into the parking lot. He stated that the parking lot
would be gated at the street and closed after hours. He stated that the parking lot is carefully
crafted so that residents across the street can see over the parking lot, so it is a fine balance
they have reached where police driving on Seapoint Street can see into the parking lot but
probably will not be able to see into it all the way along Seapoint Street because if they do
that, the residents can see into the parking lot as well. He stated he thinks the county can live
with the condition that states that the county will, in refining the grading plans and the final
construction documents for the park, work with the Police Department to ensure that there is a
public safety comfort level from the Police Department being able to visually see into that
parking area.
Councilmember Harman asked what would be the procedure for voting on the four
amendments. The Mayor stated that three are included in the motion; they were just restated
for the record. Mayor Pro Tern Dettloff stated the fourth amendment has been accepted as
worded by the county representative. The City Clerk asked if the wording Mr. Turner had just
stated could be worded by Council.
Councilmember Green stated that for public safety purposes, the elevation of the parking lot
and the size of the berms shall be subject to review and approval by the Huntington Beach
Police Department.
Mayor Bauer stated he would vote against that motion because it does not take into account
the needs of the homeowners across the street.
Councilmember Garofalo requested that Council craft the language as Mr. Turner suggested
that the county will endeavor to cooperate at its highest level with the Police Department to
create an environment that is both acceptable to the homeowners and local law enforcement;
that he is sure what he is suggesting is that they probably already have planned, kind of in the
berming, peaks and valleys so that there is intermittent view and perspective view versus a
constant view. He stated if that is acceptable to the maker of the motion, would Mayor Pro
Tem Dettloff craft the language. Mayor Pro Tern Dettloff stated that was acceptable to her if it
is to the county and that she thinks Councilmember Garofalo is just really paraphrasing what
Mr. Turner has said to Council. Mr. Turner stated it is acceptable to the county.
Councilmember Harman requested that Councilmember Green's/second Sullivan motion be
voted'on separately from the other three. Councilmember Sullivan stated that he believed
there is agreement with everybody; that Councilmember Green is willing as is Mayor Pro Tern
Dettloff to accept the different language that the county had. Councilmember Green concurred
with Councilmember Sullivan to withdraw their original motion and go with the county.
Councilmember Green stated that there will be cooperation between the county and the Police
Department to see that the parking lot and the berms are approved standards of public safety.
Mayor Bauer stated he could vote for it if the homeowners across the street are included in the
process.
Following discussion regarding vote procedure, Mayor Pro Tern Dettloff stated that her motion
will include all of the three amendments plus the suggested amendment which includes the
police, homeowners, and the county. The motion made by Dettloff, second Julien carried
unanimously.

Legal notice as provided to the City Clerk's Office by staff had been mailed, published
and posted.
The Community Development Director presented a staff report. She presented
revisions to Condition No. 4 as set forth in the communication from Fire Chief Michael
Dolder dated April 21, 1997. She informed Council of a new condition from the Public
Works Director dated April 17, 1997, Subject: Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park, Traffic
Study For Park Entrance At Seapoint Street recommending that Condition No. 6 be
deleted and replaced with the following:
Page 3 - Statement of Action
The Seapoint Street median island shall be modified to provide unobstructed view for
the required distance north of the proposed left turn opening. Median modifications
shall be designed subject to approval by the Public Works Department.
Councilmember Green spoke regarding the comments by Jan Thomas, Huntington
Beach Police Department Crime Prevention, contained in the staff report for safety
conditions as they pertain to the safety of children relative to the level of the parking lot
and placement of berms for an unobstructed view of patrol cars. The Police Chief
responded to Councilmember Green's questions stating that the Police Department
recommendation is based upon what they believe to be a sound recommendation and
that Jan Thomas is the Police Department's expert in crime prevention through
environmental design and has had extensive training in this area. He stated that in the
Police Department's best professional judgment they believe anytime there is a parking
area, especially in a park, that it should be visible from the street, not just for
observance of the area by passing police officers but for neighbors in the area to be
able to help police monitor activities in the park. He stated that as pointed out in
Ms. Thomas' comments, the types of crimes that might occur in this area could very
easily victimize children so the Police Department feels it very important that the
parking lot be more visible from the street so that the Police Department's chances are
increased to prevent those types of crimes.
Councilmember Green stated that at the time a motion is made he would like to add
another condition-5 (f): for public safety purposes, the elevation of the parking lot and
size of the berms should be subject to review and approval by the Police Department.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Dettloff regarding what the three outstanding issues are,
the Community Development Director stated that the third issue under consideration is
a memorandum from the Public Works Department to her dated April 17, 1997--
Response To Planning Commission Request Relative To A Traffic Signal Warrant
Study On Seapoint Street. Mayor Pro Tern Dettloff confirmed with the Community
Development Director that coming into this hearing that every issue and concern that
staff had is addressed and resolved.
Denny Turner, manager of the County of Orange Public Facilities and Resources
Department, Harbors, Beaches and Parks Design Division, responded to
Councilmember Sullivan's questions regarding the issue of the necessity to fill the
ravine. He stated that there would no loss of wetlands in this issue. He reported
further on the matter.
Traffic Engineer Jim Otterson reported on the left turn situation site distance issue at
the proposed entrance to Wieder Park on Seapoint Street. He stated that it would not
be at Doral Drive but further north. He reported that they are in the process of a
traffic/pedestrian signal warrant study; however, he cannot say at this time what the
determination will be.
I
Page 4 - Statement of Action
Councilmember Harman stated that he would like to place a condition on the project
that the county pay for the traffic signal.
Denny Turner, Manager, County of Orange Public Facilities and Resources
Department, Harbors, Beaches and Parks Design Division, responded to
Councilmember Harman's question regarding a one-half basketball court, stating that it
did not appear to be feasible.
The issue of reclaimed water as it pertained to contamination of fish at the Sully Miller
Lake was discussed and the Public Works Director stated that the runoff from the
homes was more likely to be an issue than Green Acres water.
Mayor Bauer informed the Council that he had spoken to Second District Supervisor
Silva who had informed him that there are no county funds available for county
payment for a traffic signal.
Earlier in the meeting, the City Clerk had announced that the following late
communications on this item had been provided to the City Council:
Communication dated April 21, 1997 to the Mayor and Council from the Fire Chief titled
Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park Fire and Emergency Access Conditions of Approval
Communication from County of Orange to the City Administrator dated April 17, 1997
requesting that the city initiate proceedings for the annexation of the unincorporated

Communication dated April 17, 1997 from Jim Otterson, Traffic Engineer, to Julie
Osugi, Associate Planner, Subject: Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park--Traffic Study For
Park Entrance At Seapoint Street
Communication dated April 17, 1997 to the Community Development Director from Les
Jones, Public Works Director, Subject: Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park Response To
Planning Commission Requests
LAURA MADARIAGA addressed Council in favor of the county proposal and requested
that it not be changed at all. She stated that the county and staff had done a fine job
and everyone is happy. She spoke in opposition to the suggestion raised about moving
the parking lot entrance. Ms. Madariaga stated her opposition to a Planning
Commissioner's recommendation for a signal as her home backed_Seapoint Street and
she would have to hear the sounds of cars speeding up to the signal, screeching to a
halt, then speeding away from it; also the fumes coming over their back wall. She
Page 5 - Statement of Action
stated there is a valid concern for safe crossing; however, she cited reasons why she
did not believe this is an issue, including other areas of the city such as at Huntington
Central Park coming down Edwards Street which is a busy street; there is just a
crosswalk at Inlet Drive.
Mayor Bauer commented to Ms. Madariaga regarding the importance of the
development of the park proceeding.
Councilmember Green discussed with Ms. Madariaga what he believes is the
importance of following the Police Chief's recommendation relative to safety of children
relative to the level of the parking tot and berms as pertains to the visibility factor.
VICTOR LEIPZIG addressed Council in support of the park proposal as presented. He
stated delay could kill this park as the previous speaker and the Mayor have so
eloquently stated.
TERRY DOLTON, representing the Amigos de Bolsa Chica, spoke regarding the
history of the park planning and the benefits of the park to the community.
There being no one further present to speak on the matter and there being no protests
filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the Mayor.
A motion was made by Dettloff, second Garofalo, to approve the Addendum to
Environmental Impact Report No. 521 with recommended findings and mitigation
measures as set forth in Attachment No. 1 to the Request for Council Action dated
April 21,1997. The motion carried unanimously.
A motion was made by Dettloff, second Julien, to approve Conditional Use Permit
No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for Phase 1 of the
Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park with recommended findings and revised conditions of
approval as set forth in Attachment No. 1 to the Request for Council Action dated
April 21, 1997 with the following revision to Condition of Approval No. 4:
(1) That the Fire Department has reached an agreement with the County of Orange to
satisfy the Fire Department's safety needs.
a. Fire access roads shall be a minimum width of 12 feet 10 feet with a 2 foot shy
distance on each side.
(2) That the signal at Seapoint Street will be reviewed by the Public Works Commission
and action taken by Council at a later time.
(3) That we are in agreement as to where the left hand turn lane on Seapoint Street
should be placed according to the county's map.
and further that Condition of Approval No. 6 be deleted and replaced with the following:
Page 6 - Statement of Action
The Seapoint Street median island shall be modified to provide unobstructed view for
the required distance north of the proposed left turn opening. Median modifications
shall be designed subject to approval by the Public Works Department.
A motion was made by Green, second Sullivan, to add the following condition on
Page 21, (5), (f) that for public safety purposes the elevation of the parking lot and the
size of the berms shall be subject to review and approval by the Police Department.
In response to a question by Mayor Pro Tem Dettloff, Mr. Turner, manager of the
County of Orange Public Facilities and Resources Department, Harbors, Beaches and
Parks Design Division, reported on how this motion would impact the park
development. He stated that the county wanted the police to be able to see into the
parking lot. He stated that the parking lot would be gated at the street and closed after
hours. He stated that the parking lot is carefully crafted so that residents across the
street can see over the parking lot, so it is a fine balance they have reached where
police driving on Seapoint Street can see into the parking lot but probably will not be
able to see into it all the way along Seapoint Street because if they do that, the
residents can see into the parking lot as well. He stated he thinks the county can live
with the condition that states that the county will, in refining the grading plans and the
final construction documents for the park, work with the Police Department to ensure
that there is a public safety comfort level from the Police Department being able to
visually see into that parking area.
Councilmember Harman asked what would be the procedure for voting on the four
amendments. The Mayor stated that three are included in the motion; they were just
restated for the record. Mayor Pro Tem Dettloff stated the fourth amendment has been
accepted as worded by the county representative. The City Clerk asked if the wording
Mr. Turner had just stated could be worded by Council.
Councilmember Green stated that for public safety purposes, the elevation of the
parking lot and the size of the berms shall be subject to review and approval by the
Huntington Beach Police Department.
Mayor Bauer stated he would vote against that motion because it does not take into
account the needs of the homeowners across the street.
Councilmember Garofalo requested that Council craft the language as Mr. Turner
suggested that the county will endeavor to cooperate at its highest level with the Police
Department to create an environment that is both acceptable to the homeowners and
local law enforcement; that he is sure what he is suggesting is that they probably
already have planned, kind of in the berming, peaks and valleys so that there is
intermittent view and perspective view versus a constant view. He stated if that is
acceptable to the maker of the motion, would Mayor Pro Tem Dettloff craft the
language. Mayor Pro Tem Dettloff stated that was acceptable to her if it is to the
county and that she thinks Councilmember Garofalo is just really paraphrasing what
Mr. Turner has said to Council. Mr. Turner stated it is acceptable to the county.
Page 7 - Statement of Action
Councilmember Harman requested that Councilmember Green's/second Sullivan
motion be voted on separately from the other three. Councilmember Sullivan stated
that he believed there is agreement with everybody; that Councilmember Green is
willing as is Mayor Pro Tem Dettloff to accept the different language that the county
had. Councilmember Green concurred with Councilmember Sullivan to withdraw their
original motion and go with the county. Councilmember Green stated that there will be
cooperation between the county and the Police Department to see that the parking lot
and the berms are approved standards of public safety. Mayor Bauer stated he could
vote for it if the homeowners across the street are included in the process.
Following discussion regarding vote procedure, Mayor Pro Tern Dettloff stated that her
motion will include all of the three amendments plus the suggested amendment which
includes the police, homeowners, and the county. The motion made by Dettloff,
second Julien carried unanimously.
A motion was made by Dettloff, second Julien, to approve in concept the
Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park General Development Plan and Resource
Management Plan 1997 Update with recommended findings as set forth in Attachment
No. 1 to the Request for Council Action dated April 21, 1997. The motion carried
unanimously.

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN/RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN 1997 UPDATE
AND ADDENDUM TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 521
PHASE 1 OF THE HARRIETT M. WIEDER REGIONAL PARK
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - ADDENDUM TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
NO. 521:
1. The General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan 1997 Update (1997
GDP/RMP) is of a less intense nature than the original 1992 General Development
Plan/Resource Management Plan (1992 GDP/RMP), which was analyzed in
Environmental Impact Report No. 521 (EIR No. 521). The Addendum to EIR No. 521
identifies the amendments to the original 1992 GDP/RMP proposed by the 1997
GDP/RMP, and contains an issue by issue comparison of impacts including any new
information, substantial changes in previously identified impacts, and the adequacy of
mitigation measures contained in EIR No. 521.
2. The Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No. 521 documents that the 1997
General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan, is a less intense park plan
that will not result in any new or more severe impacts than those addressed in EIR No.
521 and requires implementation of the mitigation measures identified in EIR No. 521.
Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No. 521 verifies that the 1997 GDP/RMP
will not result in new significant environmental impacts or an increase in the severity of
previously identified impacts; and that no substantial changes have occurred with
respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which require major
revisions to EIR No. 521; and that no new information is available that would result in
identification of any new impacts or the feasibility of implementing new mitigation which
would substantial reduce a significant impact.
3. The Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No. 521 adequately addresses and
mitigates the environmental impacts associated with the 1997 General Development
Plan/Resource Management Plan, and development in compliance with the plan.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 97-18/COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 97-9:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for the
development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park project, enhances
recreational and open space opportunities in the City in a manner that is consistent with
the natural character of the Regional Park.
2. With the conditions suggested by staff to provide adequate emergency fire access and
traffic sight distance, Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development
Permit No. 97-9 for the development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional
Park project will not be detrimental to the general health, welfare and safety of park
users or persons living in the area.
3. Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for the
development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park project, will be
compatible with surrounding uses because the trails and vista overlooks (and other
proposed facilities located within the City's jurisdiction) are an extension of and are
complementary to the existing recreational facilities in the area and are of a passive
nature that is compatible with residential and wetland restoration uses in the area.
4. The proposed trails and vista overlooks will comply with the provisions of the base
districts which are 941 and 942 and other applicable provisions in Division 9 of the
Huntington Beach Zoning Code and any specific conditions required for the proposed
use in the district in which it would be located.
5. The granting of the Conditional Use permit No: 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit
No. 97-9 for the development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park
project, will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the Land Use
Element designation of Open Space Recreation on the subject property. The Phase 1
plans include a system of trails which will ultimately connect Central Park to the beach
and will preserve and enhance the scenic character of the area while minimizing
grading of the area (for slope stabilization) to maintain the topography of the area to the
extent possible. As such, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the
General Plan:
a. To capitalize on the outdoor and environmental potential of the City by:
1) developing a system of trails liking the City parks, beaches, and bluffs; and
2) maximizing the preservation of scenic, geological, and topographical sites.

6. The.granting of the Conditional Use permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit
No. 97-9 for the development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park
project, will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the Coastal
Element of the General Plan. The plans are for development of the first phase of the
Regional Park and will facilitate provision of a trail system from Central Park to the
beach which will provide enhanced visual and physical public access opportunities to
the area. The plans will replace non-native vegetation and preserve existing native
species to the extent possible. In addition, the plans for areas within the City consist of
relatively passive recreational facilities (such as trails, open turf/play areas, picnic
areas, and parking) which are compatible with the natural character of the park. As
such, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the Local Coastal Program:
• Protect, encourage, and where feasible provide a variety of recreation facilities
which provide opportunities for all income groups.
• Support the development of the Bolsa Chica linear park (now the Harriett M. Wieder
Regional Park) and the implementation of a continuous trail system from Huntington
Central Park to the beach along the perimeter of the Bolsa Chica; establish an
implementation plan for the Bolsa Chica linear park in cooperation with the County
of Orange.
• Support recreational facilities in the Bolsa Chica linear park that:
• Emphasize a low intensity character for that portion of the park within the
City's coastal zone.
• Locate any higher intensity uses in nodes consistent with adjacent areas.
• Limit above ground structures to support facilities such as restrooms, picnic
tables, and bike racks.
• Site all uses so as to preserve views to the adjacent Bolsa Chica.
• Promote public access to coastal wetlands for limited nature study, passive
recreation and other low intensity uses compatible with the sensitive nature of these
areas.
• Support the development of the Bolsa Chica linear park and the implementation of a
continuous trail system from Huntington Central Park to the beach along the
western perimeter of the Holly-Seacliff Master Plan area.
• Promote the removal and clean-up of oil operations within the linear park.
• Preserve and enhance visual resources within the coastal zone.
• Improve the appearance of visually degraded areas.
• Preserve and enhance environmentally sensitive habitats including the Bolsa Chica
which is within the sphere of influence of the City of Huntington Beach.

Approve only that development adjacent to wetlands and environmentally sensitive
habitat areas that does not significantly degrade habitat values and which is
compatible with the continuance of habitat.
• Require that new development contiguous to wetland or environmentally sensitive
habitat areas to include buffers which will consist of a minimum of one hundred foot
setback from the existing landward edge of the wetland where possible. If existing
development or site configuration precludes a 100 foot buffer, the buffer shall be
established according to the factors listed in Policy 9c [of the Coastal Element
regarding the development of specifications for buffers under different scenarios]
and shall be reviewed by the Department of Fish and Game.
• Promote the improvement of biological productivity and appearance of wetland
habitats.
Promote the provision of adequate community facilities within the coastal zone.
Ensure that adequate parking is provided in all new development in the coastal
zone.
7. The project is consistent with the requirements of the CZ Overlay District, the base
zoning district, as well as other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code.
8. Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for the
development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park project, with the
conditions suggested by staff, Phase 1 of the Regional Park, can be adequately
accommodated by the City's infrastructure and emergency service systems. (Specific
infrastructure and emergency service needs for future phases of development will be
subject to City approval at time of application for each phase.)
9. The Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for
the development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park project conforms
with the policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act by preserving the existing
environmental resource area (in the ravine) to the extent possible while minimizing
future erosion problems and providing safe circulation around the ravine; minimizing the
visual impacts of the parking lot and interpretive center by locating them in a
topographically depressed area where the former gas plant was located; providing
enhanced recreational and open space opportunities in the City; and providing
additional opportunities for pedestrian/vehicle/ equestrian and visual access to the
Bolsa Chica and surrounding coastal areas.

SUBJECT: HARRIETT M. WIEDER REGIONAL PARK FIRE AND
EMERGENCY ACCESS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Since the April 8, 1997 Planning Commission meeting, the Fire Department has had the
opportunity to meet with the County staff on the fire access issues. During the meeting
we were able to work out the following compromise to provide fire and emergency access
to the first phase of the park. The compromise consists of the following concept. The
City will accept the proposed 10 foot wide paved bicycle/pedestrian trail width with the
proposed 2 foot shoulder(shy width) and the County will construct these trails to
accomodate the fire engine weight. The County will also provide adequate paving of the
drive aisles within the parking area to provide emergency access to the interpretive center
and local park area and will provide an adequate fire engine turn around area or loop
system at the southern reach of Phase 1.
As such,the Fire Department recommends that condition#4 be revised as indicated by
the strike out and bold below:
4. Fire access shall be provided in compliance with City of Huntington Beach Fire
standards, as determined by the City of Huntington Beach Fire Department. At
minimum, the following provisions shall be incorporated on the Phase 1 plans (FD):
a. Fire access roads shall be a minimum width of 12 feet 10 feet with a 2 foot shy
distance on each side.
b. Fire access roads shall be constructed, using an all weather surface and
engineered to accommodate 40,000 pound fire apparatus.
c. Fire access roads shall comply with City Specification No. 401.
y' ►
d. The Fire Chief may modify this condition if he determines that there is an
alternative means of acheiving adequate fire protection for the park.
This compromise provides fire access in a manner that is consistent with the natural
concept of the park and eliminates the need for alternative fire fighting equipment which
would serve only the Regional Park area.

FROM: Les M. Jones H, Director, Public Works
SUBJECT: Harriett M. Weider Regional Park
Response to Planning Commission Requests
As part of the discussion regarding the proposed park, the Planning Commission requested"a report on
the availability of funding to install a crossover light to allow safe pedestrian crossing on Seapoint." At
the April 16th meeting of the Public Works Commission, staff was directed to perform a traffic signal
warrant study at the location on Seapoint Street where installation of a new traffic signal has been
proposed.
• The preparation of-the warrant study is expected to be completed by June 19, 1997, for the regular
meeting of the Public Works Commission. We propose to include in that report the following
information:
• the results of the traffic signal warrant study
• information regarding pedestrian crossing alternatives
• project costs for a new traffic signal and any proposed alternatives
• potential funding sources for each item
The estimated activity level and public use of proposed park site will be included in these studies.
Seapoint Street will continue to be monitored in the future in the same manner as other arterial streets
and activity areas in our community. As the park use matures, conditions may change, and new studies
may be required to define solutions at that time.

Traffic Study for Park En nce at Seapoint Street
Staff has reviewed the study results submitted by the Orange County Environmental
Management Agency (OCEMA) Traffic Engineering staff for the sight distance
available at the proposed entrance to the new park on Seapoint Street. The study
satisfactorily demonstrates that adequate sight distance is available for northbound
drivers turning into the new entry, and for southbound drivers approaching the entry
on Seapoint Street.
The horizontal curvature of Seapoint Street and the landscaped conditions currently in
place present a potential sight distance obstruction. We have proposed to OCEMA the
following condition to eliminate that,potential:
"The Seapoint Street median island shall be mo �iftdt vide unobs ructed
r
view for the required distance north of the proposed left turn opening. Median
modifications shall be designed subject to approval by the Public Works
Department."
Please incorporate this condition into the Conditions of Approval proposed for the
park development.

subject: Harriett M. wieder Regional Park - Phase I Improvements
Dear Mike:
The purpose of this writing is to confirm our discussion this morning on the
development of Wieder Regional Park. Approximately 57 acres of the total 106
acres that make up the future wieder Regional Park are within the municipal
limits of the City of Huntington Reach. The remaining 49 acres are
unincorporated and contiguous to the city limits.
It is anticipated that the park will connect to the existing city water and
sewer lines in the adjacent Seapointe Avenue. Under our cooperative (1979)
agreement, the city agreed to provide public services to the park. However, it
is understood the city charter imposes certain restrictions on the exportation
of municipal water outside the city limits. It is assumed that similar
restrictions may apply to sewer connections.
The development of the park is to our mutual benefit. In order to facilitate
such development, it was suggested that the city could annex the unincorporated
territory within the park boundaries, subject to the county's request. You may
consider this letter as such a request to initiate the annexation proceedings
of this unincorporated territory into the city.
Your earliest consideration of this request is appreciated. As you know, it is
the county's intention to begin construction of the park's first phase this
fall. It would be helpful then in defining the park operating program to have
this issue resolved prior to the start of construction.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call me at 834-6666, or
Denton Turner at $34-5297.

TO: Melanie Fallon, Community Development Director

DATE: March 18, 1997 Ub
SUBJECT: Wieder Regional Park - City Council Public Hearing Notice
The Community Development Department published a legal notice with the City Clerk's
name and office without my knowledge or my deputies' knowledge. The Deputy City
Clerks nor I had no knowledge of this item; when members of the community call to
inquire regarding the published notice, my staff and I are not knowledgeable to assist
them and in fact by this action are placed in the position of having to respond to a
citizens inquiry of"Your name is on it- don't you know what is going on?".
This practice is not acceptable. Please ensure it does not again occur. I, or a member
of my staff is always available to call or drop by to give permission to publish my name
and the name of my office when a public hearing of the City Council is being
scheduled.

City Clerk
FROM: Julie Osug
Associate nner
DATE: April 10, 1997
SUBJECT: Legal Advertisements for the April 21, 1997 City Council Hearing on the
Harriett M.Wieder Regional Park
Attached is a copy of the legal notice for the April 21, 1997 City Council Hearing on the Harriett
M. Wieder Regional Park. I did not realize that the legal due date was on Thursday, April 3rd
not today. I hope it is still not too late to advertise it in the paper. I believe it can still make it
into the 4/17/97 issue of the Huntington Beach Independent and that we will not run into any
problems with the minimum ten(10)day notice since an advertisement for the City Council
hearing was already run on March 13, 1997 and March 27, 1997. Copies of both notices have
been attached for your file.
As you are probably already aware,the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park is a very high priority
to the City and is being expedited through the Planning process to assist the County in meeting
their November 1997 planting deadline. As such,the item was scheduled for Planning
Commission Study Session,Planning Commission Public Hearing and City Council Public
Hearing within two weeks of each other. Due to the accelerated schedule,wecadvertised_the�
three meetings in the-paper2and�did a-direct mailing(on 3/13797)prior to the Study Session and
followed up with an advertisement of the Planning Commission and City Council Public
Hearings in the newspaper(on 3%27/97yprior to the Planning Commission public hearing.
The direct mailing of the notice(on March 13, 1997)was sent to a total of 448 parties, consisting
of property owners within 500 feet of the 106 acre park boundary as well as other interested
parties and members of the Regional Park Citizens Advisory Committee. A copy of the mailing
list has also been attached for your file.
If you have any questions, please contact me at x5274. Thank you in advance for your
cooperation in this matter.

FROM: Howard Zelefsky, Planning Director
BY: Julie Osugi, Associate Planne
DATE: April 8, 1997
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 97-18/COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
NO. 97-9/GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN/RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
PLAN 1997 UPDATE AND ADDENDUM TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT NO. 521 (Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park Phase 1 and General
Development Plan/Resource Management Plan 1997 Update.)
LOCATION: 5801 Seapoint Street
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park will be a 106 acre County maintained and operated regional park
facility that spans over both City and County jurisdictions. Approximately 57 acres are located within the
City of Huntington Beach and require City approval.
Transmitted for Planning Commission consideration is a request by the County of Orange, Public
Facilities and Resources Department, Harbor Beaches and Parks Design Division, for the following items
regarding the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park:
• Approval in Concept for the Update of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park General
Development Plan/Resource Management Plan (GDP/RMP). The Updated GDP/RMP for the
Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park is intended to serve as the guideline for development of the entire
106 acre park. The GDP/RMP is the basis for subsequent park design level plans and, in its original
form (known as the Bolsa Chica Regional Park General Development Plan/Resource Management
Plan)was approved in concept by the City in October 1992. Since then, the overall character of the
park has evolved from a predominantly open turf/play area park into a predominantly natural park
with two 3 acre neighborhood park nodes and an interpretive center facility. In response to the City
Council's April 1996 action, requesting that the County revise the GDP/RMP to reflect this primarily
natural park concept, the County is submitting an update to the original GDP/RMP to the City for
approval in concept.
• Approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9(0
allow development of Phase 1 of the Harriett Wieder Regional Park consistent with the
guidelineS of the Updated General Development Plan.) The County is also requesting approval for
development of Phase 1 of the Regional Park. Phase 1 consists of a total of approximately 51 acres of
park area stretching between Garfield Avenue and the existing oil company heliport located just east
of Pacific Coast Highway. Approximately 26 of these acres, generally located along Seapoint Street,
between Garfield and Palm Avenues, are located within the City's jurisdiction.
-a
Phase 1 consists of construction of the following improvements: bicycle and riding/hiking trails,vista
points, native habitat restoration, a three acre neighborhood park node (including play ground, turf and
picnic area), a 100 space parking area, and a 5,000 square foot interpretive center(located within the
County's jurisdiction).
• Approval of Addendum to Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 521. The County has
prepared an addendum to the EIR(No. 521, also prepared by the County) for the original GDP/RMP.
The Addendum is intended to supplement the original EIR by identifying the changes to the
GDP/RMP proposed by the update. A new EIR was not considered necessary, since the impacts
associated with the GDP/RMP Update and Phase 1 (CUP 97-18/CDP 97-9) have been identified to be
at a lesser degree than the original GDP/RMP. These issues have been described in greater detail in
the attached EIR addendum. The City will need to adopt the EIR addendum prior to action on the
Coastal Development Permit and Conditional Use Permit applications.
The County has indicated that it presently has funding available to construct the first phase of the
Regional Park and is intent on processing permits and entitlements for Phase 1 in time to meet the
November 1997 planting season. In an attempt to assist the County in meeting its goal, this application is
being expedited to the Planning Commission for action this evening and has already been advertised for
the April 21, 1997, City Council hearing. (Note: Planning Commission action is a recommendation to
the City Council and will be forwarded along with the above requests to City Council for final action.
Furthermore, upon City approval in concept of the General Development Plan/Resource Management
Plan 1997 Update, the County will forward the General Development Plan to the Orange County Board of
Supervisors for final approval.)
Staff recommends approval in concept of the GDP/RMP and approval of Addendum to Environmental
Impact Report No. 521, Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18, and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9for
the following reasons:
• The project is consistent with the Open Space Recreation General Plan Land Use Designations for the
entire GDP/RMP area, as well as the Phase 1 area by allowing for development of a system of trails
linking the City parks, beaches and bluffs and maximizing the preservation of scenic, geographical
and topographical sites in the City.
The proposed project (GDP/RMP and Phase 1) is consistent with the City's desire for a predominantly
natural regional park with two neighborhood park areas (not to exceed 6 acres) and an interpretive
center facility.
• The proposed project preserves the existing environmental resource area(in the ravine)to the extent
possible while minimizing future erosion problems and providing safe circulation around the ravine.
• The proposed project minimizes the visual impacts of the parking lot and interpretive center by
locating them in a topographically depressed area where the former gas plant was located.
• The project is consistent with the goals of the City's General Plan by providing enhanced recreational
and open space opportunities in the City.
The project is consistent with the City's Coastal Element of the General Plan by providing additional
opportunities for pedestrian/vehicle/equestrian and visual access to the Bolsa Chica and surrounding
coastal areas.
Staff Report-4/8/97 2 (97SR23)
• With the conditions suggested by staff to provide adequate emergency fire access and traffic sight
distance,the project will not be detrimental to the general health, welfare and safety of park users or
persons living in the area.
• With the conditions suggested by staff, Phase 1 of the Regional Park can be adequately accommodated
by the City's infrastructure and emergency service systems. (Specific infrastructure and emergency
service needs for future phases of development will be subject to City approval at time of application
for each phase.)

Staff Report-4/8/97 4 (97SR23)
PROJECT PROPOSAL:
The County has submitted an application for development of the first phase of the park as well as approval
in concept for the conceptual plan for the entire 106 acre park. The CUP 97-18/CDP 97-9 application
represents a proposal for development of areas of the first phase of the park that lie within the City of
Huntington Beach and the 1997 update of the General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan
(GDP/RMP) represents the conceptual plan for the entire 106 acre park. A general description of both
applications is provided below.
Coastal Development Permit No. 97-and Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18. Phase 1 spans over both
City and County property; as such, many of the Phase 1 improvements cross over both City and County
property. The following is a list of improvements for the entire Phase 1 area so that the Commission is
aware of how the Phase 1 improvements are integrated;however, some improvements listed below are
located solely in the County's jurisdiction and are noted by an asterisks. (Reduced plans delineating the
City/County boundary and all proposed improvements are described and depicted in greater detail in
Attachment 2)
♦ Bicycle/Pedestrian Trails - Ten(10) foot wide paved paths (plus 2 foot wide unpaved shy
distance on each side of the trail)that meander roughly parallel to Seapoint Street(from Garfield to
Palm Avenues.)
♦ Riding/Hiking Trails and Maintenance Access Road - Ten(10) foot wide decomposed granite
paths (plus 2 foot wide shy distance on each side)that begin at Garfield and connect to a loop with
a maintenance access road at the southwestern most area of Phase 1. The maintenance access road
is to allow maintenance crew access to the habitat areas located to the south of Phase 1 and will be
closed to public access until Phase 3 (when oil/gas operations are removed from the area).
♦ Vista Points - Two vista points are proposed along the riding/hiking trail at key viewing points.
The vista points are to include interpretive signage (to educate park users of park resources) and
benches to serve as rest stops for trail users and provide scenic viewing opportunities of the coastal
bluffs and Bolsa Chica. No shelter structures are to be provided at the vista points.
♦ Native Habitat Restoration - The site's vegetation has been largely disturbed from erosion and
previous oil operation activities. The project proposes to preserve existing native plants and
revegetate the degraded areas with native grassland, mixed woodland, and coastal scrub habitat.
Plant palettes and habitat restoration goals have been described in greater detail in Attachment 2.
♦ Ravine Enhancement- The existing ravine carries golf course drainage under Seapoint,through
the park site to the Bolsa Chica wetlands. The ravine has eroded resulting in steep unstable side
slopes which are potentially hazardous to park users and deposit sediment into the Bolsa Chica
wetlands. Some native riparian plant material has established at the bottom of the ravine
(including ± 0.07 acre of willows, ±0.17 acre of fresh water marsh, and ± 0.01 acre of coastal salt
marsh.) The project proposes the following improvements.
Staff Report-4/8/97 5 (97SR23)
0 Regrade the eroded side slopes and smooth out the contours to eliminate steep unstable side
slopes and control future erosion and downstream sedimentation. (Existing willows and
native vegetation at the bottom of the ravine are proposed to be protected to the greatest
extent possible.)
0 Remove exotic plants and revegetate with native plants (native grassland, mixed woodland,
and coastal scrub)to control erosion and improve habitat value;
0 Install a pedestrian/equestrian bridge to provide safe crossing over the ravine;
0 Install six (6) foot tall chain link fencing around the ravine to protect plantings and wildlife
and keep park users away from potential hazards.
♦ Local Park Node - A local park node of approximately three (3) acres consisting of a play ground,
open turf and picnic areas. The local park node is to be located on the former gas plant site.
♦ Interpretive Center* and Parking -An interpretive center facility of approximately 5,000 square
feet at the former gas plant site (located within the County's jurisdiction) with a 100 space
decomposed granite parking area to provide on site parking to the interpretive center and Phase 1
of the park. The interpretive center is proposed to accommodate exhibition, lab/office and
maintenance areas and restrooms. Access to the parking lot is proposed approximately 400 feet
north of the entrance to Estates at Seacliff and will require installation of a new left turn pocket to
access the lot from northbound'Seapoint.
♦ Grading- The project proposes to minimize grading. Required grading will consist of grading of
the ravine (as identified above) which will generate approximately 5,800 cu. yds. of surplus soil
that is to be used in the contouring and berming of the gas plant site for development of the
interpretive center and parking area, and surface grading to construct trails and vista points, plant
native vegetation, and fill trenches/pits which may present a safety hazard.
♦ Removal of Pipelines - Removal of above ground oil production related pipelines that are no
longer in use.
♦ Fencing - Four(4) foot tall wood post and wire(primarily along trails around native plant areas) or
6 foot tall chain link(primarily along the ravine) fencing is proposed along the park trails for
public safety, to discourage park users from entering areas that are off limits, and to protect park
resources. Fencing is described in greater detail in Attachment 2.
♦ Security Lighting - The Regional Park will only be open during daylight hours; therefore, lighting
will be limited to security lighting at the interpretive center and parking area. Lights will utilize
non-reflective glazed fixtures and shall be designed to direct light on site.
♦ Signage - Signage is proposed to consist of identification signs, interpretive signs, and
information/regulatory signs and are depicted in Attachment 2.
Staff Report-4/8/97 6 (97SR23)
Appr val in concept for the Update of the Harriett M.Rieder Regional Park General Development
Plan. Park facilities included in the GDP/RMP consist of an interpretive center with on-site parking for
approximately 100 cars, two (2) local park areas and habitat restoration planting areas throughout the park
consisting of mixed woodland, coastal scrub and native grassland. Additionally approximately 20 acres
of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area(ESHA) will also be included as mitigation for ESHAs
displaced by development in other areas of the Bolsa Chica Local Coastal Program (BCLCP). Plantings
in the ESHAs will be consistent with habitat restoration planting proposed for the park plan. Bicycle and
riding/hiking trails will be provided connecting Huntington Central Park to Bolsa Chica State Beach as
well as pedestrian trails within the park to access interpretive activities and the local park areas.
Interpretation and education of the Bolsa Chica ecosystem will be the focus of the interpretive center,
reinforced at the vista points and woven throughout the trail signage system in the park. (For more
detailed descriptions please refer to Attachment 3.)
ANALYSIS:
Development of the Regional Park has been a long and complicated process. Throughout the park
planning process, the plans have run into a broad range of issues and changing values which have
reshaped the concept for the park.
This report gives a brief history of the park planning process in matrix form to help the Planning
Commission recall how the park concept has evolved into the plan that is before them this evening,
followed by a summary of the major issues.
Project History:
The Regional Park has been the subject of a long planning effort between the City and County. Through
the process, the park has undergone several name changes; to avoid confusion between the names of the
park, from here on the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park shall be identified as "Regional Park." Below is
the chronology of major events in the Regional Park planning process.
Regional Park
Planning Chronology
1975 City requests County develop a Regional Park facility along the Huntington
Mesa connecting Central Park to Bolsa Chica State Beach
1979 Agreement 79-102 Executed providing for cooperative planning and
implementation of the Regional Park. (Provided as Attachment No. 8).

Planning Commission approves Conceptual Plan w/modifications; plan consists
of 112 acre park with 88 acres of park designated for human recreation uses.
County starts preparation of General Development Plan
Citizen Advisory Committee created and meets monthly to formulate General
Development Plan.
1992 City Council adopts Resolution 6434 recommending Board of Supervisor
Approval of EIR 521, confirming the 106 acre Regional Park boundary and
GDP/RMP. (Provided as Attachment No. 9)
[Approved GDP/RMP included 71.5 acres suitable for human rec. uses -
including open turf areas,picnic and play areas, vista points,trails, parking and
an interpretive center(Interpretive center parking lot and entrance relocated from
Doral to gas plant in response to neighborhood concerns.)].
Board of Supervisors approves GDP/RMP and EIR
1994 County Submits application for Phase I (first phase) of park development(15
acres). Plan includes 40 space parking lot at Palm/Seapoint, trails, open turf
areas, picnic areas and vista overlooks.
County holds series of public meetings to address community concerns
associated with lighting, parking areas, tree locations, fill of a
ravine/environmental resource and plant materials proposed in Phase 1A.
Phase 1 A application is denied by Planning Commission
Action appealed to City Council; Council adopts Resolution No. 6592 approving
Phase 1A. The approved plan was conditioned to eliminate the parking lot at
Palm/Seapoint, limit grading/fill of the ravine, changed turf areas to native
vegetation, etc. (Please refer to Attachment 10, Reso. 6592 for list of conditions).
Staff Report-4/8/97 8 (97SR23)
Regional Park
Planning Chronology
Continued
1994 (cont'd) Consideration of possible deed restrictions to address:
♦ Parcels for Park Use
♦ Native Plant Materials
♦ Herbicide and Pesticide Use
♦ Comprehensive Archaeological Survey
♦ Ranch Type Fencing
♦ Grading and Landform Modification
♦ Parking/Paving Areas
♦ Volunteer Assisted Planting Program
City Council action appealed to California Coastal Commission
1996 City Council considers deed restrictions. Community members in support of
neighborhood park facilities oppose restrictions, restricting vegetation to natural
plants and request provision of neighborhood park facilities in Regional Park.
City Council adopts single deed restriction for parcels to be held in perpetuity for
park use and supports incorporation of 2 neighborhood park nodes (total of 6
acres). Requests that County amend GDP/RMP to reflect natural park concept
with 2 neighborhood park nodes, trails, interpretive center, and parking.
1997 Application accepted for Phase 1 of park and review of the revised GDP/RMP
ISSUES
Environm ntal Status:
The County has prepared an addendum to the EIR(No. 521, also prepared by the County) for the original
GDP/RMP. The Addendum is intended to supplement the original EIR by identifying the changes to the
GDP/RMP proposed by the update. Preparation of a new EIR was not considered necessary, since the
impacts associated with the GDP/RMP Update and Phase 1 (CUP/CDP) have been identified to be at a
lesser degree than the original GDP/RMP due to the less intensive nature of the park and associated park
development activities. These issues have been described in greater detail in the attached addendum.
(Please refer to Attachment 4.)
Staff Report-4/8/97 9 (97SR23)
The Addendum is intended to address the environmental impacts associated with the revised GDP/RMP
and development of Phase 1 of the Regional Park and constitutes the environmental documentation for the
project, to comply with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA). Pursuant to
the provisions of CEQA, the City will need to adopt the addendum prior to action on the Coastal
Development Permit and Conditional Use Permit applications.
Coastal Status:
The proposed project is within an appealable portion of the Coastal Zone. Coastal Development Permit
No. 97-9 is being processed concurrently with Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 pursuant to Section
989.5 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code. The proposed project complies with the zoning code and
Coastal Zone requirements, and will implement the following policies of the Coastal Element of the
General Plan:
• Protect, encourage, and where feasible provide a variety of recreation facilities which provide
opportunities for all income groups.
• Support the development of the Bolsa Chica linear park(now the Harriett M. Wieder Regional
Park) and the implementation of a continuous trail system from Huntington Central Park to the
beach along the perimeter of the Bolsa Chica; establish an implementation plan for the Bolsa
Chica linear park in cooperation with the County of Orange.
• Support recreational facilities in the Bolsa Chica linear park that:
• Emphasize a low intensity character for that portion of the park within the City's coastal
zone.
• Locate any higher intensity uses in nodes consistent with adjacent areas.
• Limit above ground structures to support facilities such as restrooms,picnic tables, and
bike racks.
• Site all uses so as to preserve views to the adjacent Bolsa Chica.
• Promote public access to coastal wetlands for limited nature study,passive recreation and other
low intensity uses compatible with the sensitive nature of these areas.
• Support the development of the Bolsa Chica linear park and the implementation of a continuous
trail system from Huntington Central Park to the beach along the western perimeter of the Holly-
Seacliff Master Plan area.
• Promote the removal and clean-up of oil operations within the linear park.
• Preserve and enhance visual resources within the coastal zone.
• Improve the appearance of visually degraded areas.
Staff Report-4/8/97 10 (97SR23)
• Preserve and enhance environmentally sensitive habitats including the Bolsa Chica which is within
the sphere of influence of the City of Huntington Beach.
• Approve only that development adjacent to wetlands and environmentally sensitive habitat areas
that does not significantly degrade habitat values and which is compatible with the continuance of
habitat.
• Require that new development contiguous to wetland or environmentally sensitive habitat areas to
include buffers which will consist of a minimum of one hundred foot setback from the existing
landward edge of the wetland where possible. If existing development or site configuration
precludes a 100 foot buffer, the buffer shall be established according to the factors listed in Policy
9c [of the Coastal Element regarding the development of specifications for buffers under different
scenarios] and shall be reviewed by the Department of Fish and Game.
• Promote the improvement of biological productivity and appearance of wetland habitats.
• Promote the provision of adequate community facilities within the coastal zone.
• Ensure that adequate parking is provided in all new development in the coastal zone.
Other Departments Concerns:
The departments of Public Works, Fire, Police and Community Services have reviewed the proposed
project. Comments were received from the Departments of Fire, Public Works, and Police and have been
incorporated as conditions of approval where appropriate. (Please refer to Attachments 5, 6, and 7 for
Fire, Public Works, and Police Department comments, respectively). However, Fire and Traffic have
expressed two potentially significant concerns with the project, that potentially involve some modification
to the plans, and are discussed in greater detail below.
Fire Issues
Although the Regional Park will be maintained and operated by the County, emergency services
(including fire protection) for the park will be provided by the City of Huntington Beach Fire Department
(pursuant to the November 1979 Agreement). In its review of the updated park plans, the City Fire
Department has indicated that the native vegetation and predominantly natural character of the park has
created fire protection problems for the City Fire Department. The Fire Department identified concerns
with fire and emergency medical access, installation of fire hydrants, and sprinklering of the interpretive
center facility. Fire's concerns were relayed to the County, who indicated that the fire department's
concerns regarding fire hydrants and sprinklering were reasonable and would be accommodated into the
plans. As such, these provisions have been incorporated into the recommended conditions of approval.
Staff Report-4/8/97 11 (97SR23)
The County did express concerns regarding the Fire Department's recommendation regarding the
provision of 12 foot wide emergency access roads which may result in additional paving and a redesign of
some of the trails in the park, and could not accept this recommendation without further analysis The
issue has been explained in greater detail below.
As proposed, the trail system is of inadequate width and construction to provide fire access for City fire
fighting equipment. Fire engines, which would provide fire and emergency medical services to the park,
require a minimum of twelve (12) foot wide emergency access roads; furthermore, the access needs to be
constructed of all-weather material and engineered to accommodate forty thousand pounds. As proposed,
the trails are 10 feet wide and either are paved or decomposed granite, neither of which has been designed
to accommodate the fire apparatus weight.
The unmanicured plant materials tend to create potential brush fire conditions, which when combined
with the insufficient emergency access, creates potentially serious problems from a fire protection and
emergency access standpoint. To resolve this problem, the Fire Department has recommended that the
bicycle/pedestrian trail and maintenance road be modified to provide a minimum twelve (12) foot wide
emergency access road constructed of all weather material and engineered to accommodate fire apparatus
of forty thousand pounds. They also recommend that the proposed decomposed granite parking lot
surface be modified to an all-weather material and engineered to accommodate fire apparatus of forty
thousand pounds; this would allow for fire and emergency medical access to the interpretive center and
local park node.
Although it has been the City and County's intent to minimize paving in the park to the extent possible,
staff believes that the additional trail width and surfacing concerns are public safety issues which need to
be addressed. While the County was not able to accept this recommendation outright since it may result
in additional paving and a redesign of some of the trails, they agree that this is an important issue and
have indicated that they are willing to discuss alternatives for meeting the Fire Department's access
requirements and believed that this issue can be resolved. While compliance with Fire access standards
may require additional paved surfaces in the park, the Fire Department has indicated that paving is not
the only alternative. However, due to the expedited processing schedule for the Regional Park,the details
of how this issue is to be resolved where not able to be worked out prior to this meeting.
Staff is recommending that the project be conditioned to provide adequate emergency access roads and
parking lot access to accommodate fire apparatus This will allow the project to move forward while City
and County staff identify a means for providing fire access and maintain the natural character of the park.
In addition staff has also recommended a condition that if additional paving is required for adequate
emergency access,paved paths and parking areas shall be colored to match decomposed granite to
minimize the visual impacts from the additional paved surfaces. (Please refer to conditions 4 and 9.)
Staff Report-4/8/97 12 (97SR23)
Traffic
The Traffic Division also reviewed the proposed project and has expressed concerns regarding the
location of the left turn median break from Seapoint northbound into the proposed parking lot. Based
upon their field review,the proposed median break is located at the beginning of a curve in Seapoint
Street and is beyond the crest of a vertical curve. Traffic indicates that this combination of conditions
does not provide adequate sight distance for safely turning across opposing traffic at high speed. They
recommend that the proposed parking lot entry not be approved until a traffic study is prepared to verify
that adequate sight distance is provided in conformance with existing design criteria for highways (per
Cal-Trans Highway Design manual). As an alternative, the traffic division suggested that the driveway
entrance be relocated to align with Doral Drive, as it would provide adequate sight distance and reduce
construction costs due to the existing median break.
This issue has also been relayed to the County. The County indicated that safe parking lot access was a
concern to them as well and that they believe that the proposed median break location does comply with
the Cal-Trans design criteria; they also indicated that they are willing to submit the recommended study to
provide evidence of compliance. The County did express concern with the suggested alternate entrance
location as it could result other issues (which were resolved by the present location) and require
significant redesign of parking lot and adjoining areas of the park. Since they believe that the proposed
location meets the sight distance requirements,the County has requested that the study be required as a
condition on the project.
Staff agrees, and is recommending that submittal of a traffic study be a condition of approval of the
project. In addition, staff recommends that in the event the study indicates that the left-turn access is
unable to meet sight distance standards, the access shall be designed as a right-turn in/out accessway or,
relocated to meet sight distance standards (if the County determines that left-turn access is necessary).
Recommended conditions further suggest that relocation of the parking area entrance (as well as any
resulting modifications to the park plan)be subject to review and approval by the City Council. (Please
refer to condition 6.)
Controlled Pedestrian Crossing on Seapoint Street
At the March 25, 1997, Planning Commission study session, the Planning Commission inquired whether
any traffic signals where proposed along Seapoint Street to provide controlled crossing points for future
park users. This issue has been relayed to the City's Traffic Division who have indicated that neither of
the street intersections along Seapoint(between Palm and Garfield Avenues) meets the warrants for a
traffic signal; the intersections (at Cherryhill and Doral), therefore, are not on the City's Signal
Installation and Modification Priority List. The priority list is the basis for allocating the City's limited
funds toward the intersections which have the worst problems. The Traffic Division has indicated that
there are presently more than thirty intersections in the City that need work and that City funding for
installation and maintenance of a signal on Seapoint is not available.
Staff Report-4/8/97 13 (97SR23)
However,the Traffic Division has also indicated that pedestrians can safely cross Seapoint Street at Doral
Drive, as there is an unmarked crosswalk(per the California Vehicle Code sections 275 and 21950) at this
location, and that relocation of the parking area acess point to Doral Drive will enhance compliance with
this crossing area.
SUMMARY:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of Coastal Development Permit
No. 97-9, Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18, General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan
1997 and Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No. 521 for the following reasons:
• The project is consistent with the Open Space Recreation General Plan Land Use Designations for the
entire GDP/RMP area, as well as the Phase 1 area by allowing for development of a system of trails
linking the City parks, beaches and bluffs and maximizing the preservation of scenic, geographical
and topographical sites in the City.
• The proposed project(GDP/RMP and Phase 1) is consistent with the City's desire for a predominantly
natural regional park with two neighborhood park areas (not to exceed 6 acres) and an interpretive
center facility.
• The proposed project preserves the existing environmental resource area(in the ravine) to the extent
possible while minimizing future erosion problems and providing safe circulation around the ravine.
• The proposed project minimizes the visual impacts of the parking lot and interpretive center by
locating them in a topographically depressed area where the former gas plant was located.
• The project is consistent with the goals of the City's General Plan by providing enhanced recreational
and open space opportunities in the City.
The project is consistent with the City's Coastal Element of the General Plan by providing additional
opportunities for pedestrian/vehicle/equestrian and visual access to the Bolsa Chica and surrounding
coastal areas.
• With the conditions suggested by staff to provide adequate emergency fire access and traffic sight
distance, the project will not be detrimental to the general health, welfare and safety of park users or
persons living in the area.
• With the conditions suggested by staff, Phase 1 of the Regional Park can be adequately accommodated
by the City's infrastructure and emergency service systems. (Specific infrastructure and emergency
service needs for future phases of development will be subject to City approval at time of application
for each phase.)
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(SS):
The Planning Commission may take alternative actions such as:
A. Recommend to the City Council denial of Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 and Conditional Use
Permit No. 97-18 with findings for denial.

FINDINGS AND SUGGESTED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 97-9/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO 97-18/
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN/RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN 1997 UPDATE
AND ADDENDUM TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO 521
PHASE 1 OF THE HARRIETT M. WIEDER REGIONAL PARK
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL -ADDENDUM TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
NO, 521:
1. The General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan 1997 Update (1997 GDP/RMP) is of a
less intense nature than the original 1992 General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan
(1992 GDP/RMP), which was analyzed in Environmental Impact Report No. 521 (EIR No. 521). The
Addendum to EIR No. 521 identifies the amendments to the original 1992 GDP/RMP proposed by the
1997 GDP/RMP, and contains an issue by issue comparison of impacts including any new
information, substantial changes in previously identified impacts, and the adequacy of mitigation
measures contained in EIR No. 521.
2. The Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No. 521 documents that the 1997 General
Development Plan/Resource Management Plan, is a less intense park plan that will not result in any
new or more severe impacts than those addressed in EIR No. 521 and requires implementation of the
mitigation measures identified in EIR No. 521. Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No. 521
verifies that the 1997 GDP/RMP will not result in new significant environmental impacts or an
increase in the severity of previously identified impacts; and that no substantial changes have occurred
with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which require major revisions
to EIR No. 521; and that no new information is available that would result in identification of any new
impacts or the feasibility of implementing new mitigation which would substantial reduce a
significant impact.
3. The Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No. 521 adequately addresses and mitigates the
environmental impacts associated with the 1997 General Development Plan/Resource Management
Plan, and development in compliance with the plan.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 97-18/COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 97-9:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for the development of
Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park project, enhances recreational and open space
opportunities in the City in a manner that is consistent with the natural character of the Regional Park.
Attachment-4/8/97 (97SR23-16)
2. With the conditions suggested by staff to provide adequate emergency fire access and traffic sight
distance, Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for the
development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park project will not be detrimental to the
general health, welfare and safety of park users or persons living in the area.
3. Conditional Use Permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for the development of
Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park project, will be compatible with surrounding uses
because the trails and vista overlooks (and other proposed facilities located within the City's
jurisdiction) are an extension of and are complementary to the existing recreational facilities in the
area and are of a passive nature that is compatible with residential and wetland restoration uses in the
area.
4. The proposed trails and vista overlooks will comply with the provisions of the base districts which are
941 and 942 and other applicable provisions in Division 9 of the Huntington Beach Zoning Code and
any specific conditions required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located.
5. The granting of the Conditional Use permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for
the development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park project, will not adversely affect
the General Plan. It is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Open Space Recreation
on the subject property. The Phase 1 plans include a system of trails which will ultimately connect
Central Park to the beach and will preserve and enhance the scenic character of the area while
minimizing grading of the area(for slope stabilization)to maintain the topography of the area to the
extent possible. As such, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan:
a. To capitalize on the outdoor and environmental potential of the City by:
1) developing a system of trails liking the City parks, beaches, and bluffs; and
2) maximizing the preservation of scenic, geological, and topographical sites.
6. The granting of the Conditional Use permit No. 97-18 and Coastal Development Permit No. 97-9 for
the development of Phase 1 of the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park project, will not adversely affect
the General Plan. It is consistent with the Coastal Element of the General Plan. The plans are for
development of the first phase of the Regional Park and will facilitate provision of a trail system from
Central Park to the beach which will provide enhanced visual and physical public access opportunities
to the area. The plans will replace non-native vegetation and preserve existing native species to the
extent possible. In addition, the plans for areas within the City consist of relatively passive
recreational facilities (such as trails, open turf/play areas, picnic areas, and parking) which are
compatible with the natural character of the park. As such, it is consistent with the following goals and
policies of the Local Coastal Program:
Protect, encourage, and where feasible provide a variety of recreation facilities which provide
opportunities for all income groups.

HARRIETT M. WIEDER REGIONAL PARK PHASE 1
I. INTRODUCTION
' Orange County Harbors, Beaches and Parks (OCHBP) requests approval in
concept of the General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan- 1997
Update(see Exhibit 5). In addition, OCHBP requests a Coastal Development
' Permit to improve the Phase 1 area of Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park with
limited facilities focusing on resource enhancement, protection and
interpretation. Development of Phase 1 of Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park
' will include: an interpretive center; an off-street parking area;trails for
bicycle,equestrian and pedestrian access; interpretive vista points; native
plantings; and,a three-acre"local park area"with a playground, picnic tables,
' benches,and an open turf area.
Location:
Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park is comprised of 106 acres of open space on
the Huntington Mesa. Phase 1 of Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park
(hereafter referred to as HWRP Phase 1) is comprised of approximately 51
acres, of which approximately 26 acres are within the City of Huntington
Beach, and approximately 25 acres are in unincorporated Orange County (see
Attachments 1&2).
Project Goals:
' The following project goals were adopted from the Harriett M. Wieder
Regional Park General Development Plan Update and guided the design of
' HWRP Phase 1:
° restore,enhance and protect the natural resources of the park;
r ° create a park that is compatible with the entire Bolsa Chica
ecosystem;
' ° provide trail linkages for hikers,bicyclists and equestrians to
Huntington Central Park;
• provide other passive recreational uses which emphasize enjoyment of
' the site's natural resources and scenic vistas;
• provide interpretive opportunities which increase public understanding
' and appreciation of the significant natural and cultural resources of
the site;
COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
-2-
HARRIETT M. WIEDER REGIONAL PARK PHASE 1
' ° minimize grading and landform modifications to preserve natural
topography to the extent consistent with the goals above;
° use indigenous materials which support the park's overall natural
concept, e.g.,decomposed granite,native plants and ranch-type
fencing;and,
' ° encourage respect by all visitors.
Il. PHASE 1 PARK IMPROVEMENTS
' See Attachment 3 for the HWRP Phase 1 concept plan.
A. Pipeline Relocation
Currently,nine pipelines exist on a pipe rack above ground within the
Phase 1 site . These pipelines transport fuel gas,water,gasoline and wet gas
' from the existing oil and gas facility along Pacific Coast Highway to facilities
in the Bolsa Chica lowlands. The pipelines range in size from I Winch to
8-inch diameter. Three of these pipelines are no longer needed and will be
' removed. Prior to the start of HWRP Phase 1 construction, the remaining six
pipelines will be undergrounded. The pipeline undergrounding is not
considered a part of this HWRP Phase I project and will require a separate
Coastal Development Permit and environmental documentation.
B. Interpretive Center
' One of the primary park goals is to "provide interpretive opportunities which
increase public understanding and appreciation of the significant natural and
' cultural resources of the site". The proposed interpretive center will help
accomplish this goal by providing a place where individuals and groups will
become oriented to the park and its environment. The interpretive program is
' planned to incorporate various exhibits which provide information on the park
natural and cultural resources, local history, as well as the Bolsa Chica
ecosystem.
' Srtm�
' The 5,000 square foot interpretive center is to be constructed on the former
gas plant site(hereafter referred to as the old gas plant site)on a large flat
area on the blufl3op where gas plant maintenance buildings once existed(see
' Attachments 4-7). This location provides the best panoramic views of the
COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
-3-
' HARRIETT M. WIEDER REGIONAL PARK PHASE t
' Bolsa Chica Wetlands and the Pacific Ocean while preserving existing views
of the wetlands from nearby residents and the park.
Parking Area:
' An approximately 53,000 square foot parking area for approximately 100
vehicles will be provided on the former gas plant site to serve park users
visiting the interpretive center,or using the trails or the local park area. In
order to minimize view impacts from the surrounding residential area, the
parking area will be depressed approximately ten-feet lower than the elevation
of Seapoint Street. The parking area will be screened through berming and
' landscaping. The parking surface will be decomposed granite or other
pervious surface to reduce surface runoff and aid in groundwater recharge.
The entry to the parking area will be enhanced with an attractive entry sign
and flowering native plant material. The entry road will be constructed of
asphalt. A lockable gate will be installed at the entry to prohibit vehicular
' access during hours when the park is closed.
Left Turn Median Break:
' Subject to approval by the City of Huntington Beach Traffic Engineer,A
100-foot long left turn pocket in the Seapoint Street median will be provided
to allow northbound traffic along Seapoint to access the interpretive center
' parking lot. This turn pocket is proposed approximately 400 feet north
of the Estates at Seacliff existing left turn pocket.
rC. Habitat Restoration
' Most of the park site has been severely degraded due to erosion, infusion of
exotic plant species, and human(oil and gas exploration)use. As a result,
very little native vegetation is remaining. This project includes preserving the
' site's existing native plant material and revegetating the degraded areas of the
site with three primary native plant habitat types including: native grassland,
mixed woodland,and coastal scrub (see Attachment 8). The objectives of
' native plant habitat restoration include:
° buffering the sensitive Bolsa Chica wetlands from the adjacent
' existing and proposed residential development along Seapoint
Street.
COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
-4-
HARRIETT M. WIEDER REGIONAL PARK PHASE 1
° increasing the valuable habitat areas for raptors and numerous other
resident and transient wildlife species,thereby enhancing the
interpretive and passive recreational experience for park visitors.
° enhancing the site's aesthetic values for park visitors and
surrounding residents.
' See Attachments 9, 10& 11 for habitat restoration plant palettes.
' D. Trails
' Bike/Pedestrian Trail:
An approximately 3,500 linear foot,ten-foot wide paved(concrete or asphalt)
off-street bicycle and pedestrian trail will be constructed parallel to Seapoint
' Street between Palm Avenue and Garfield Avenue(see Attachments 12&13) .
The majority of this trail (between Palm Avenue and Doral Drive)is to be
constructed over an area previously-impacted by undergrounding of utilities.
' Riding and Hiking Trail:
' A decomposed granite trail will be installed along the blufftop edge between
Palm Avenue and Garfield Avenue. This approximately 8,250 linear foot trail
will provide access for pedestrians and equestrians. From the trail, park users
will have dramatic views of the Bolsa Chica wetlands to the west, Bolsa Chica
State Beach and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest, and the Palos Verdes
Peninsula on the western horizon. Park users will also be able to view and
' interpret the native flora and fauna along the trail.
The riding and hiking trail will be ten-feet wide with two foot shoulders on
' each side(see Attachments 12&13). This "multi-use"trail is the typical trail
used in County of Orange natural and wilderness parks.
Maintenance Access Road:
A ten-foot wide temporary maintenance road will be installed in the southern
portion of HWRP Phase 1 between the Palm Avenue to the existing helicopter
pad(see Attachment 12). The maintenance road will be constructed of
decomposed granite and will allow maintenance crews to access the proposed
' habitat enhancement areas in the southern portion of HWRP Phase 1. Control
gates will be provided to allow access for maintenance crews and preventing
access by park users.
COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT

' HARRIETT M. WIEDER REGIONAL PARK PHASE 1
Since the southerly portion of Phase 1 (south of Palm Avenue) is in close
proximity to the existing oil and gas facility adjacent to Pacific Coast
Highway,this area of the park will be temporarily closed to the public. Once
the oil and gas facilities are removed,the area will be opened for public use.
' Consistent with the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park General Development
Plan(GDP) Update the maintenance road will be converted to trail use during
' Phase 3 of park development, following removal of the oil and gas facilities.
As identified in the GDP Update,the portion of the maintenance road which
runs along the bluffrop edge will be converted to a riding and hiking trial. The
' segment of the maintenance road adjacent to the proposed residential
development(between Pacific Coast Highway and Palm Avenue)will be
converted to a paved bike/pedestrian trail.
E. Ravine Enhancement
' A drainage ravine exists within HWRP Phase 1 (across Seapoint Street from
Cherryhill Drive)which carries drainage from Seacliff Golf Course to the
Bolsa Chica Wetlands. The golf course drainage flows west through a culvert
' under Seapoint Street,through the park and into the Bolsa Chica Wetlands.
Over the years the ravine has eroded, resulting in hazardous steep and
unstable side slopes. As the side slopes erode away, sediment is deposited into
the wetlands. This sediment impacts the survival and productivity of
crustaceans and other organisms living on the bottom of the wetlands which
' are an important food source for birds.
Non-native plant material (iceplant, fennel, mustard, Russian thistle, and tree
tobacco)has established in the ravine. Some native riparian plant material has
also established at the bottom of the ravine including:three small groves of
willows(f.07 acre);fresh water marsh habitat(t.17 acre); and coastal salt
marsh(f.01 acre).
This project will enhance the ravine by providing the following improvements
(see Attachment 14):
° re-grade the eroded side slopes and smooth out the contours to
eliminate steep vertical drop off conditions and control future
erosion and downstream sedimentation;
COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
HARRIETT M. WIEDER REGIONAL PARK PHASE 1
° remove exotic plant material and plant native plants (native
grassland, mixed woodland and coastal scrub)to control erosion
and improve the habitat value;
° install a bridge for equestrians and pedestrians to safely cross over
the ravine;
° install a six-foot high chain link fence around the ravine to protect
plantings, protect wildlife and keep park users away from potential
safety hazards (see Section II.G).
' F. Interpretive Vista Points
Two interpretive vista points will be installed in HWRP Phase 1. These vista
points will be located along the riding and hiking trail at key viewing areas.
Interpretive signage will be provided at each vista point to educate users
regarding the park resources. Benches will also be provided.
' G. Resource Protection Fencing
' Resource protection fencing will be installed along park trails for public safety
purposes,to discourage park users from entering areas off limits to human
activity, and to help protect park resources. The two types of resource
protection fencing to be installed include: a four foot high wood post and wire
strand fence;and a six foot high vinyl coated chain link fence.
Wire Strand Fence:
The wire strand fence will be installed on the edge of park trails around native
' plant restoration areas(see Attachment 15). This fence will deter park users
from disturbing the restoration areas during the plant establishment period,
while allowing small animal species to migrate between habitat areas. This
fence may be removed as necessary following the five-year plant establishment
period.
COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
' HARRIETT M. WIEDER REGIONAL PARK PHASE 1
' Chain Link Fence:
' The chain link fence will be installed at the top of the ravine to keep park
users from accessing the ravine area(see Attachment 14). By restricting
access,the fence will allow native plantings to establish on the ravine side
' slopes, and protect park users from potential safety hazards.
' H. Park Signage
See Attachment 16 for locations of the following types of signage.
Information/Regulatory Signs.
' An information/regulatory sign will be installed at the Palm Avenue, Garfield
Avenue entry points and the parking area. This sign will display an
explanation of the "do's and don'ts",park hours, and other pertinent
information.
Interpretive Sites:
Interpretive signs will be installed along the riding&hiking trail, and at the
vista points to educate users regarding the park resources. The primary goal
of the signage is to foster a sense of stewardship of the park resources. The
interpretive signage will relate to the park goals and foster understanding,
' appreciation, respect, and protection of the park's resources.
Primary Park Identification Sign:
A park monument sign will be placed at the entry to the parking area. This
sign will be contain the park name and logo. The sign will be designed to be
' compatible with the park's natural character.
Secondary Park Identification Signs:
A small(approximately 4X4 foot)park identification sign will be installed at
the Palm Avenue and Garfield Avenue entry points off Seapoint Street.
These signs will contain the park name and logo.
COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT

HARRIETT M. WIEDER REGIONAL PARK PHASE 1
' Habitat Restoration Area Si s:
Signs identifying habitat restoration areas off-limits to the public will be
mounted to the resource protection fencing at intervals along the trails. These
signs will solicit the public's help in protecting the restoration areas (see
' Attachment 15).
' I. Local Park Area
An approximately three-acre"local park area" will be developed within
HWRP Phase 1 on the old gas plant site,north of the parking area(see
Attachment 4) . The local park area will provide uses consistent with a
"neighborhood park" and include an open turf area and playground.
' Some grading will be required to smooth out the existing unnatural landforms
and make the site accessible to the disabled(see Section II.J).
Open Turf Area:
A 2%acre open turf area will be developed north of the off-street parking area
within the old gas plant site. This turf area will provide open space for
families and children to picnic and play. Four picnic tables will also be
' provided in the open turf area near the playground.
Playground:
rA children's playground will be installed north of the off-street parking area.
The playground is designed to serve children of all ages and will incorporate a
' variety of creative, physical and imaginative play activities. The play
equipment will include devices for swinging, climbing, crawling, and jumping.
The playground will accommodate children with disabilities. Benches will be
provided adjacent to the playground area.
J. Site Grading
Grading activities will primarily occur in two areas--the eroded drainage
' ravine and the old gas plant site.
' COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT

' HARRIETT M. WIEDER REGIONAL PARK PHASE 1
' Ravine Grading:
' The ravine's existing steep and erosive side slopes will be graded to eliminate
hazardous steep and erosive side slope conditions (see Attachment 14).
' Existing willows and other native wetland vegetation in the bottom of
the ravine will be protected from grading activities to the greatest extent
possible. Grading in the ravine area will generate approximately 5,800
cubic yards of surplus soil.
Old Gas Plant Site Grading:
' Excess soil from the ravine will be used at the old gas plant site for berming
and contour grading to remove unnatural landforms. By using the excess soil
from the ravine area at the old gas plant site, it is estimated that a balance of
cut and fill will be achieved.Berming will help screen the proposed
interpretive center, parking area and local park area from
the adjacent residential development. The proposed berming will not
adversely impact existing ocean views from the adjacent residential
development. Views from adjacent residential areas will be enhanced by
removing the existing concrete wall and chain link fence around the old gas
plant site.
Other Site Grading:
Some surface grading will be required to construct the trails, interpretive
vista points and native plantings. In addition project development will include
' remedial grading at locations where existing altered site topography presents a
public safety hazard(e.g. filling of open trenches and pits created during oil
exploration).
K. Security Lighting
' Since the park,with the exception of occasional evening use of the interpretive
center, will be closed during non-daylight hours, site lighting will be limited to
security lighting at the interpretive center and parking-area.
In order to avoid the intrusion of glare upon nearby residences, all security
' lighting will utilize lamp fixtures with non-reflective glazing and shall be
designed to direct light on site. Ambient lighting from existing street lights
will provide security lighting along Seapoint Street.

HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This document outlines the General Development Plan (GDP)
and Resource Management Plan (RMP) 1997 Update for the
development of the County of Orange Harriett M. Wieder Regional
Park (formerly named Bolsa Chica Regional Park). These guidelines
' will serve as a point of departure for the preparation of all future
design and construction plans for the park.
The Regional Park is a component of the County's Bolsa
Chica Local Coastal Program (BCLCP) certified on July 11, 1996. As
part of the BCLCP, 49 acres of privately-owned land on the
Huntington Mesa will be dedicated to the County of Orange for the
Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park. Park planning efforts have been
closely coordinated with the BCLCP and regulatory permits will follow
the framework set up by the BCLCP.
The 106-acre park site is located primarily on the blufftop of
' the Huntington Beach Mesa, within the jurisdictions of both the City of
Huntington Beach and the County of Orange; approximately 49 acres
of the project site is located in unincorporated lands and 57 acres
' within the City of Huntington Beach. Multiple ownerships break up
the site which is also overlain with various leasehold agreements.
Land use on the majority of the project site is comprised mostly of oil
and gas production activities.
Portions of the project site located within the jurisdiction of the
1 City of Huntington Beach will be dedicated to the city by existing
landowners. A 1979 City/County Agreement provides subsequent
dedication of these lands to the County to be included in the County's
1 regional park.
All land dedicated to the regional park by current owners will
meet all State and local hazardous materials site cleanup
requirements and be conveyed free and clear of all burdens on the
land (except easements which may be a required part of the land
1 conveyed).
Because the availability of much of the land for park
development is dependent upon the expiration of leasehold
agreements and the removal of existing oil and gas production uses,
a phased implementation plan for the park is proposed. This phasing
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
plan consists of a Phase I plan for lands most immediately available
for park use, and an overall development plan for the entire park site.
The planning process for the development of the Regional
Park Plan involved numerous public workshops with the Regional
Park's Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) to assist the County in
' developing a park plan representative of the overall community's
interests as well as regional objectives.
' Proposed park facilities include an Interpretive Center with
entry road and parking, two (2) local park areas and habitat
restoration planting areas throughout the park consisting of mixed
' woodland, coastal scrub and native grassland. Additionally,
approximately 20 acres of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas
(ESHA) will also be included as part of the mitigation program to
replace a portion of the ESHAs displaced by development in other
areas of the BCLCP. Bicycle and riding/hiking trails will be provided
connecting Huntington Central .Park to Bolsa Chica State Beach as
well as pedestrian trails within the park to access interpretive activities
and the local park areas. Interpretation and education of the Bolsa
Chica ecosystem will be the focus of the Interpretive Center,
reinforced at the vista points and woven throughout the trail signage
system in the park.
The existing riparian habitat will be preserved and restored
providing for trail usage throughout the area. Erosion will be
minimized through slope stabilization and fencing will protect habitat
restoration while providing for care and protection of the park visitor.
A Resource Management Plan (RMP) has been developed to
ensure that the existing resources in the park are protected
throughout the development and sets forth how to manage restored
resources. The RMP outlines maintenance and operational
guidelines which promote long-term continuance of parks goals of
preservation, restoration and enhancement of all the resources).
This GDP and RMP 1997 Update sets guidelines for the
development of the Regional Park and help to ensure that resources
are protected and at the same time provide increased recreational
opportunities for the citizens of Orange County.

HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
I. INTRODUCTION
Purpose for General Development Plan/Resource Management
Plan-1997 Update
In 1993, conceptual plans for Phase 1 of the park (based on the City
of Huntington Beach and County Board of Supervisors approved
1992 GDP) were submitted to the City of Huntington Beach for a
Coastal Development Permit. Through Planning Commission and
City Council hearings, it was discovered that adjacent residents and
special interest groups were concerned about the Phase 1 Plan. The
concerns centered around four main issues: amount of non-native
plantings; location of off-street parking; and partial filling of a drainage
ravine. In addition, several residents requested local park type uses
(playground and turf area) be incorporated into the park plan.
In response to City Council action, several meetings with City staff,
City Council and concerned citizens were conducted. The issues
were resolved and a conceptual park plan was approved. The
County promised to update the existing General Development Plan to
incorporate the changes requested by the City, adjacent residents
and special interest groups.
Name Change
rOn October 4, 1994, the Board of Supervisors renamed Bolsa Chica
Regional Park, Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park. All future
references made to the park's name in this document and in
subsequent planning and design documents will acknowledge this
board action.
Project Location
The Regional Location and proposed Project Site are
illustrated in Exhibits 1 and 2. The project site is located in the
jurisdictions of both the County of Orange and the City of Huntington
Beach, and is primarily situated on the blufftop of the Huntington
Beach Mesa. The proposed park boundary extends northerly from
Pacific Coast Highway to approximately Talbert Avenue in the City of
Huntington Beach, and is bordered on the west by the Bolsa Chica
wetlands and on the east by residential uses and Seapoint Street.
Approximately 49 acres of the proposed 106-acre park facility are

located on unincorporated land and the park is therefore included in
the overall Bolsa Chica Local Coastal Plan (BCLCP).
Currently, the park is accessed by Palm Avenue, via Golden
West Street or by Seapoint Street via Pacific Coast Highway. The
park can also be accessed traveling west on Garfield Avenue or south
on Edwards Avenue, and then west on Garfield Avenue.

Project Description
Park facilities include an Interpretive Center with on-site
parking for approximately 100 cars, two (2) local park areas and
habitat restoration planting areas throughout the park consisting of
mixed woodland, coastal scrub and native grassland. Additionally,
approximately 20 acres of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas
(ESHA) will also be included as mitigation for ESHAs displaced by
development in other areas of the BCLCP. Plantings in the ESHA's
will be consistent with habitat restoration planting proposed for the
overall park plan. Bicycle and riding/hiking trails will be provided
connecting Huntington Central Park to Bolsa Chica State Beach as
well as pedestrian trails within the park to access interpretive activities
and the local park areas. Interpretation and education of the Bolsa
Chica ecosystem will be the focus of the Interpretive Center,
reinforced at the vista points and woven throughout the trail signage
system in the park (General Development Plan Update - Exhibit 3).
The existing riparian habitat will be preserved and restored
providing for trail usage throughout the area. Erosion will be
minimized through slope stabilization and fencing will protect habitat
restoration while providing for care and protection of the park visitor.
Since the BCLCP has been certified, park planning will be
coordinated with the adjacent land owners in addition to agency
review and project permitting.
' The majority of the site is currently used for oil and gas
production activities, and on-site facilities include oil wells and storage
facilities, as well as above-ground and underground pipelines. Parcel
Ownership - Exhibit 4 within the proposed park boundary includes
the City of Huntington Beach, PLC Land Company, Koll Real Estate
Group, Southern California Edison and the County of Orange.
CalResources LLC and Chevron Corporation are under lease
agreement with Koll Real Estate Group at various locations on-site.
Development of the park will be phased as various parcels become
available and existing uses are removed (See Section W.C. Phasing
Exhibit 13). The project site includes both city and county
jurisdictional boundaries, multiple landowners, and is located
' adjacent to planned future residential development. Orange County
Board of Supervisors and the City of Huntington Beach have
executed an agreement (Agreement No. D79-102, dated
_ INTRODUCTION
HARRIETT M.WI DER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
' November 27, 1979) which ensures that the city's portion of the
regional park land will be secured through park land dedication
requirements and dedicated to the County for regional park purposes.

' INTRODUCTION
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide a plan for the
' general development of facilities at Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park
(HWRP) and a Resource Management Plan (RMP) that provides
management guidelines for the restoration, enhancement and
protection of the park's natural/cultural resources. These guidelines
will be the foundation of all future design and construction documents
for the park as well as for the park's resources.
Goals
1 Project goals adopted for HWRP General Development Plan
Update:
• Restore, enhance and protect the natural and cultural resources
of the park;
• Create a park that is compatible with the entire Bolsa Chica
ecosystem;
• Provide trail linkages for hikers, bicyclists and equestrians to
Huntington Central Park and Bolsa Chica State Beach;
• Provide compatible passive recreational uses which emphasize
enjoyment of the site's natural resources and scenic vistas;
' • Provide interpretive opportunities which increase public
understanding and appreciation of the significant natural and
cultural resources of the site;
i • Minimize grading and landform modifications to preserve natural
topography to the extent consistent with the project goals;
• Use indigenous materials which support the park's overall natural
concept, e.g., decomposed granite, native plants and ranch-type
fencing;
• Encourage respect of park resources by all visitors.

' HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
' History
In 1976, the Orange County Board of Supervisors sought to
identify an appropriate site for a regional park in the west Orange
County area. The City of Huntington Beach proposed a park
connecting Huntington Central Park along the bluff of Huntington
Beach Mesa to Pacific Coast Highway, with a trail connection to the
beach and its regional bicycle trail. After considering several
alternatives, the Board of Supervisors approved the City proposal and
incorporated it into the County's Master Plan of Regional Parks.
During this same time frame, the County began studies leading to the
development of a plan for the entire Bolsa Chica area, and over the
years the planning for the park and the Bolsa Chica area as a whole
were merged.
The regional park site lies within the jurisdictional boundaries
of both the City of Huntington Beach and the County of Orange. The
park's success depends upon: 1) city cooperation and assistance in
' securing the land and creating compatible relationships between the
park and surrounding existing and future development and
2) approving development plans for portions of the park within the
City's jurisdiction. The Agreement which was executed in November
1979 between the City of Huntington Beach and the County of
Orange ensures City cooperation in securing land through dedication
' of local park lands and contributing these lands to the County's
regional park.
' In July 1990, the City of Huntington Beach approved an
alignment for the extension of Seapoint Street to the proposed
westerly extension of Garfield Avenue. This alignment identifies a
slightly modified roadway alignment from that which was originally
proposed and results in a reduction in park acreage by 2.7 acres. In
October 1990, the Huntington Beach City Council adopted a
' development agreement with Seacliff Partners specifying the
dedication to the City of 38.6 acres for "park use," including the
provision for dedication of either 2.7 or 4.5 acres at the option of the
City of Huntington Beach. All park dedications by Seacliff Partners
(42.3 acres total, 38.2 acres within Regional Park) were completed
and accepted by the City in December 1995. Approximately 19 acres
were transferred from the City to the County in July 1994. Current
public ownership (City or County) within the proposed park stands at
approximately 57 acres.
' INTRODUCTION
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
City approved tract maps for residential development adjacent to the
southwest area of the proposed park identify a slight modification to
the park boundary and result in a reduction in park acreage by 0.2
acres. Also, examination of the five-foot contour above mean sea
level, the project's westerly boundary, was conducted by Koll Real
' Estate Group in conjunction with the ongoing wetland restoration
plans for Bolsa Chica. The engineering survey has resulted in a park
boundary modification and a reduction in park acreage by approxi-
mately 4.0 acres. As a result of these three park boundary
modifications, the total planned park acreage has been reduced from
the original 113 acres to the current 106 acres.
The proposed uses and character of the HWRP have been
developed through meetings on an as needed basis with
representatives of the County of Orange, City of Huntington Beach,
local community and special interest groups, private landowners and
interested citizens. Additionally, the park plan has been influenced by
the larger Bolsa Chica Specific Plan's wetlands restoration plan which
identifies ESHA replacement locations in and adjacent to the Regional
Park.
Planning Process
The General Development Plan 1997 - Update will be
presented to the County of Orange Harbors, Beaches and Parks
Commission, for a recommendation to the County Board of
' Supervisors. Environmental documentation prepared in accordance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) will also be
approved by the Board of Supervisors. The CEQA document for this
GDP Update will incorporate Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
No. 521 that was prepared for the 1992 approved General
Development Plan/Resource Management Plan. Final EIR No. 521
was certified by the Orange County Board of Supervisors on
November 10, 1992.

OPPORTUNITIES&
CONSTRAINTS
' HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Since the ark site is located in both the City of Huntington
P Y 9
Beach and County of Orange jurisdictions, Coastal Development
Permits must be obtained from both agencies. For that portion of the
park within the County, Coastal Development Permits must be
obtained from the County of Orange, and that portion which lies within
the City jurisdiction, Coastal Development Permits must be obtained
from the City of Huntington Beach.
' Approvals or permits must also be obtained from resource
agencies such as California Department of Fish & Game, U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and Regional Water Quality Control Board for
' activities in and adjacent the ravine area.
Once all discretionary approvals or permits have been
' obtained, the phased implementation of the park plan will proceed in
accordance with the park phasing plan (Exhibit 13). The timely
implementation of the park relies upon cooperation between the
County of Orange, the City of Huntington Beach, adjacent property
owners, leaseholders and the various resource agencies in the
removal and hazardous materials "clean-up" of existing on-site
facilities and to ensure consistency with the BCLCP.

' HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
' II. OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
A summary of the park's Opportunities and Constraints is
illustrated in Exhibit 5.
A. OPPORTUNITIES
' Park/Access
The location of the regional park within the City will take
advantage of the opportunity for vehicular/pedestrian access from
Pacific Coast Highway, Seapoint Street, Garfield Avenue and
' Edwards Street.
Park/Trail Linkaae
The location of trail system proposed within the regional park
will serve to link the regional facility to surrounding local and state
facilities, including the riding/hiking and bike trails from existing
facilities at Huntington Central Park and Bolsa Chica State Beach.
View Enhancement/Vista Points
Development of the regional park will increase the site's value
as a visual and scenic resource through the removal of existing oil
and gas production facilities, the restoration and habitat enhancement
with native vegetation and through the mitigation requirement to
replace the ESHAs. These aesthetic improvements will enhance
views from adjacent existing and proposed residences, and from the
adjacent streets.
' Blufftops on the Huntington Beach Mesa provide open vistas
of the Bolsa Chica wetlands and the Pacific Ocean. Clear days allow
westerly views to the City of Long Beach, Palos Verdes Peninsula,
and Catalina Island.
Interpretation/ESHA Wetland Restoration
The planned restoration of the Bolsa Chica wetlands adjacent
to the project site and the placement of ESHAs within the regional
park will provide park users with the opportunity to observe and gain
knowledge about the local flora and fauna. The focal point for
OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
-12-
' HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
interpretation in the park will be the interpretive center. Other
elements include trail interpretive signs and docent led tours through
the habitat areas.
B. CONSTRAINTS
' Oil and Gas Production Facilities
The majority of the project site is currently used for oil and gas
iextraction activities. Under current lease agreements, portions of the
project site will not be available for park use for up to 25 years.
Therefore, a phased development concept is planned for the park
which will include adequate public safety measures to restrict public
access in hazardous areas during the phased development, and to
ensure that provisions for public safety are implemented for oil and
gas facilities.
The proposed Phase 1 area (Phasing Plan Exhibit 13)
contains a number of existing above-ground pipelines which are used
for oil and gas operations by lessees. Some of these pipelines will be
abandoned and others will be relocated prior to park development. A
' 40' easement located on the west side of Seapoint Street has been
reserved for underground relocation of utilities such as oil and gas
pipelines.
In order for the County to accept any park land free and clear
of all encumbrances from adjacent owners, oil and gas facilities must
meet state and local hazardous materials clean-up requirements.
Ravine
' The natural drainage feature which has developed into a
unsafe ravine with associated riparian vegetation bifurcates the south
' portion of the park across from Cherryhill Lane. Stabilization of steep
side slopes will reduce on-site erosion and supplemental riparian
planting will enhance existing vegetation and create additional habitat.
' Slopes/Fault Zone
On-site topographical constraints which could represent a
potential safety hazard include steep bluff faces in the northern and
southern most portions of the project site and an unstable erosional
OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
-13-
' HARRI TT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
drainage ravine in Phase 1 area which conveys adjacent golf course
runoff flows through the center portion of the site.
' The Newport-Inglewood fault zone transverses the northern
portions of the project site near the intersection of Garfield Avenue
and Edwards Street. This fault zone is designated as an Earthquake
Hazard Special Study Zone, and is subject to the building
requirements of the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone Act.
Revegetation of the bluff face, and the stabilizing of the
existing drainage ravine will reduce on-site erosion. Public safety
hazards will be minimized further through incorporation of fencing
along the bluff edge and adjacent the drainage ravine. The park
Interpretive Center will conform to the appropriate seismic building
codes and setbacks.
ESHA Placement
A minimum of 20 acres of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat
Area (ESHA) will be located in the regional park in order to restore
ESHAs which will be displaced by development allowed within the
' overall BCLCP. (Policy Requirement No. 5 under the "Wetlands/
Biological Resources Policies" section in Chapter 3 of Land Use Plan
Amendment to BCLCP). The proposed location of ESHAs in the
' lowland areas and along the bluff face of the park, will be coordinated
with Koll Real Estate Group and be designed in concert with the
overall park plan. Fencing for ESHAs will be provided to protect
resources and to delineate park trails. The 20-acre ESHAs will meet
all the conditions required in the BCLCP for site cleanup,
development and maintenance.
Cultural Resources
' Archaeological sites exist within the park boundary. As
phased development is implemented, detailed archaeological studies
will be conducted to determine level of significance and appropriate
mitigation measures.
Adjacent Land Uses
rExisting and planned residential uses are the predominant
land use adjacent to the park, occurring along Seapoint Street and
' OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
-14-
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Edwards Street. Potential land use conflicts between the park and
surrounding residential areas are minimized by working closely with
the homeowners and special interest groups in developing a park
' plan which does not compromise the integrity of the resources and
provides appropriate recreational opportunities.

ill. ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW
A brief overview of the biological and cultural resources, their
existing conditions and potential project-related impacts is provided
below. Final EIR No. 521 includes mitigation measures to avoid or
minimize these potential project impacts.
A. Biological Resources
A site reconnaissance was conducted by Claremont College
Joint Science Services in December 1989 to assess the potential
biological impacts of the project. Additional biological assessments
were conducted in August of 1990 and 1991 to assess both the
activity of small mammals onsite and the biological habitat in the
ravine drainage area. A brief summary of these reports are provided
' below. The complete reports are included in the Bolsa Chica
Regional Park Final EIR No. 521.
Existing Conditions
Flora
The proposed Harriett Wieder Regional Park site has been
heavily disturbed by past human activity and little native vegetation
' remains. Existing Vegetative Resources which occur onsite are
shown in Exhibit 6. The project site historically has been used for oil
and natural gas production activities and is in a degraded condition as
1 a result of these operations. For example, the coastal sage scrub
community historically occurred on the bluff areas bordering the
lagoons and salt marshes along the southern California coast. On the
project site, remnant coastal sage plants such as Artemisia califomica
�. exist only in isolated spots where, due to rough topography, they have
been protected from weed abatement programs. Holland's (1986)
Diegan coastal sage scrub and southern coastal bluff scrub
communities, which were probably once present on the park site, are
considered rare due to the destruction of most of this habitat along
the southern California coast (See Biological Resources in Final EIR
t, No. 521 -Appendix F).
Generally, the site can be characterized as ruderal field, with a
plant cover consisting almost entirely of introduced annual weeds and
grasses. Less than one percent of the site supports perennial plants
ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW

HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
and most of these are not native to the site. The most obvious
perennials on the site are introduced species such as myoporum
(Myoporum laetum), tree tobacco (Nicotiana glauca), iceplant
(Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum) and sweet fennel (Foeniculum
vulgare). In a few places, notably the margins of paved roads where
runoff increases water supply, salt grass (Distichilis spicata) has
colonized the bluff face.
Another plant community that once existed on or near the
proposed park site is riparian habitat. The southern willow scrub
community (Holland, 1986), which once bordered the rivers and
streams running into the coastal lowlands, is now almost totally gone,
but remnants appear in such areas as Huntington Central Park and
Harbor Park in the Harbor City area of Los Angeles County. Remnant
riparian species such as coyote bush (Baccharis pilularis) occur
' mostly at the base of the bluff area. At one spot near the northern
edge of the proposed park a large elderberry (Sambucus mexicana),
surrounded by poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum) and some
nearby willows (outside the boundaries of the park) represent the last
remnant of a riparian woodland.
' Between Seapoint Street and the Bolsa Chica lowlands, a
deeply excised ravine which carries runoff from Seacliff Golf Course
to the Bolsa Chica lowlands, has been colonized by arroyo willow
(Salix lasiolepis) and cat-tail (Typha latifolia). This runoff supports
on-site and off-site freshwater marsh at the edge of the Bolsa Chica
lowlands. Additional vegetative growth has occurred recently in the
' channel.
Fauna
Only the hardiest of species survive on the heavily disturbed
site. These include cottontail (Sylvilagus audubonii), pocket gopher
' (Thomomys bottae) and California ground squirrel (Otospermophilus
beecheyi). Birds inhabiting the site are primarily seed eating species
and carnivores, including several species of hawks that feed on the
' small rodents and rabbits and a species of burrowing owl. Lack of
survival of the coastal sage plant community precludes the presence
of such species as the California gnatcatcher (Polioptila califomica),
the San Diego cactus wren (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus
sandiegense) and the San Diego coast homed lizard (Phrynosoma
' ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW
-17-
i
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
' coronatum blainvillei). All of these species are listed or under
consideration as species of concern in California.
Impacts
Flora
The project proposes to re-grade the side slopes in the eroded
drainage ravine between Seapoint Street and the Bolsa Chica
' lowlands in order to stabilize this potential hazard and to increase
safety for the park visitor. This golf course drainage ravine has
resulted in the creation of a freshwater marsh habitat at the edge of
the Bolsa Chica lowlands. Additional wetland habitat restoration and
enhancement is proposed in this area which will provide continued
support of the freshwater marsh habitat.
The California Department of Fish and Game will determine
the needs for any permit requirements associated with the proposed
drainage ravine. No significant impact to existing native vegetative
species is anticipated to occur.
The biological report recommends the elimination of
introduced species and the reintroduction of coastal sage and riparian
vegetation species to enhance the value of the area. Most vegetation
on the park site is in a disturbed state. Preservation or protection of
existing vegetation (e.g. riparian vegetation) that is valuable for
habitat will occur. None of the species observed are rare or
endangered. None of the native species form significant stands of
natural vegetation. However, the biological report also suggests that
the site be surveyed in the spring season to determine the presence
of significant annual plants. (See Existing Vegetative Resources -
Exhibit 6).
Because park development will include approximately 20
acres of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) located
within the park, the value of the vegetative resources onsite will
1 greatly increase. ESHAs will consist of both coastal scrub community
and mixed woodland for raptor nesting habitat. The following
subsection will identify compatibility issues between park uses and
environmentally sensitive habitat areas.
ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW
-18-
' HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Fauna
The placement of ESHA habitat within the regional park is
provided to replace habitat area for those species which will be
displaced by future development within the larger Bolsa Chica Local
Coastal Plan. Mixed woodland for raptor nesting habitat (sycamore,
white alder, willow or other native tree species) will replace the loss of
peregrine falcon habitat. The coastal scrub community is expected to
provide habitat for several rodent species and will also act as a
foraging area for some raptor species.
The regional park design has incorporated resource protection
fencing between the riding/hiking trail and the ESHA/bluff area to
discourage and minimize access by park users and domestic animals
and encourage preservation and protection of the resources.
Park development may disrupt existing onsite burrowing owl
burrows. Because this species is listed as a second priority Species
of Special Concern, trapping and relocation may be required.
Surveys by a qualified biologist shall be conducted to determine the
presence of burrowing owls prior to any park development. Also,
where coastal scrub community is proposed to replace existing
ruderal grasslands onsite, the raptor species which feed in grasslands
may be affected adversely. The General Development Plan Update
and Resource Management Plan propose to replace existing non-
native annual grasslands with native grassland habitat, and coastal
scrub which is expected to increase the habitat value for raptor
' species.
A trapping program for the Los Angeles pocket mouse
(Pergnathus longimembris brevinasus), the southern marsh harvest
mouse (Reithrodontonys megalotis limicola), and southern California
salt marsh shrew (Sorex orantus salicomis), species of special
concern in California that probably once existed on the site, was
conducted. Based on the trapping survey, it was determined that
these species do not occur on the regional park site. It should also
be noted that future park native planting will provide new habitat for a
wide variety of animal species.

Mitigation Measures
The Final EIR No. 521 and CEQA documentation for 1997
Update provide specific mitigation measures to minimize potential
project impacts on biological resources.
B. CULTURAL RESOURCES
The project area has been the subject of several
archaeological surveys. Archaeological Resource Management
Corporation conducted a records search in December 1989. A
summary of their findings is provided below. The complete reports
are included in the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park Final EIR No.
521. Prior to park grading, an additional on-site survey will be
conducted by a certified archaeologist to evaluate the condition of the
known archaeological deposits.
Existing Conditions
The majority of the project site has been disturbed by oil and
gas production facilities which continue to operate onsite. Records
indicate that eight archaeological sites exist within the project
boundary. One of these sites, CA-Ora-290, is considered to have
been totally destroyed by earthmoving. The other sites require further
testing to assess significance. A brief description of each site is listed
below.
CA-Ora-82
CA-Ora-82 is one of the few sites in the vicinity which has
been subjected to some reported excavation. The site is located
partially within the study area at its extreme northwestern comer. The
site consists of a large shell midden containing some lithic artifacts.
Burial sites were also reported to occur in CA-Ora-82, but do not
occur on the park site. The site was found to have been impacted by
' localized disturbances including plowing, road building, and oil
extraction. However, subsurface deposits may still be present.
ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW
-20-
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
CA-Ora-88
CA-Ora-88 is located to the south of CA-Ora-82 and consists
of a shell midden containing metates, manos, and a cogstone. The
blufftop on the site area was chosen for construction of numerous oil
field facilities, beginning in 1919. As a result of impacts from oil
drilling, the prehistoric resources were damaged. Some midden is
visible along the blufftop, but may be displaced materials. The true
degree of disturbance can only be established through test
' excavation.
CA-Ora-365
This site, located southeast of CA-Ora-88, was also
substantially disturbed by oil extraction activities. The site contains
shell midden with few lithic artifacts. Subsurface testing indicates that
the shell midden was of questionable depositional integrity, and that
historic artifacts are also present. Several artifacts were collected
from the surface. A possible living surface/house floor in a cut bank
was discovered, as well as two trash pits containing household trash
of late 19th and early 20th century age and a cogstone.
CA-Ora-366
The site consists of shell midden, perhaps an extension of
Ora-294, a portion of which had been removed for construction of an
oil rig. A few lithic artifacts have been observed, although the site has
never been tested. The site was found to be heavily impacted.
CA-Ora-294
This large site has been excavated by several previous
investigators, and each has determined the site to be significant,
despite the observation that roughly the northern one half of the site
area has been destroyed from development of a petroleum
processing plant. Boundaries of the site have been identified by
Macko, Inc. (1997). Other investigations have been conducted by
Scientific Resource Surveys, Inc. (SRS) (1985, n.d.), LSA (1995).
Excavation has been conducted on Ora-294 by SRS and LSA. SRS
excavated a single 1 x1 meter unit in the southwestern comer of site
(SRS 1985). One radiocarbon date was obtained by SRS from shell
which produced a date of 2150+/-35 radiocarbon years BP. More
ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW
-21-
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
recently LSA (1995) placed four shovel test pits and two 1x1 meter
units in the site. They reported to have found an intact midden
deposit to a depth of 80 cm. They also estimated the site to be
approximately 1,925 sq. meters. Material recovered during
excavation included debitage, shell beads, a burned bone pendant,
marine shell, and bone. A radiocarbon date on a single 22.4 g.
sample of Chione sp. yielded a date of 2185-1750 BC. Van Bueren et
al. (1988) believed that Ora-294 may be eligible for the NRHP
because of the diversity and abundance of artifacts on the site.
A salient feature of this site is the presence of a suspected
buried cultural deposit that is evident in the deep erosion channel that
separates this site from Ora-292/293 to the south.
CA-Ora-292/293
This site has been the subject of two small-scale
investigations designed to determine the site boundaries. The first
was conducted by Macko, Inc. (1997) and the other by SRS (n.d.).
The combination of the two sites, CA-Ora-292 and Ora-293, is based
on statistical analysis of excavated samples.
The site contains a sparse distribution of shellfish and stone
tool remains. There were also trace remains of vertebrate fauna,
indicating the procurement of small mammal and limited fishing from
bay or estuarine environments. The focus of activity at this site,
however, was clearly the collection of shellfish from the adjacent
mudflats which occurred in prehistoric times. Radiocarbon dates by
Macko, Inc. date the site to between 2,000 and 4,000 years old.
CA-Ora-291
A concentration of net sinkers and an abundant and varied
vertebrate fauna were recovered from the deposit, which is said to
date to the Late Prehistoric Horizon. Except for a few localized
impacts, the site is considered to be in relatively pristine condition.
CA-Ora-290
This site, described as a shell midden, has been used
extensively as a borrow pit, and most of the shell deposits have been
removed. Therefore, Ora-290 has little research potential.
ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW

KARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Impacts
As indicated previously, the majority of archaeological
deposits have been damaged to some degree. However, significant
portions of some sites remain intact. Earthwork associated with park
development is considered minimal, but some grading is anticipated
in association with trail implementation and areas of blufftop
recontouring. Direct impacts to archaeological resources would result
from the removal of existing oil and gas facilities, grading, vegetation
removal, trail construction, and utility placement. Additionally,
damage to surface artifacts could be expected, as well as illegal
collections due to increased public activity on the site. These
potential impacts of development on archaeological resources are
considered significant.
Future testing of deposits is required to determine the
significance of the existing sites and the specific type of mitigation
required. The testing program involves two stages. The first phase
would include defining the extent of the remaining undisturbed
portions of the sites, their significance, and whether certain observed
materials are in situ deposits or imported. The second phase would
include development of a comprehensive resource management
program. Based on the test findings, either on-site preservation or
data recovery may be proposed as mitigation measures for the
archaeological resources.
Additionally, the opportunity to include an archaeological dig
for educational purposes is being explored for inclusion in the park
site. The archaeological dig may serve as a research area for
academic interests and an area for public interest. Four potential
excavation sites have been identified and are included in the Harriett
M. Wieder Regional Park Final EIR. Further testing of the on-site
resources will determine if any of the archaeological resources on-site
are suitable for this purpose.
Mitigation Measures
tIn situ preservation is preferable to data recovery as a means
of mitigation. Data recovery is the most costly alternative, and should
be considered only where in situ preservation is not feasible.
However, to formulate a preservation plan for the subject area, further
archaeological investigation is necessary to determine which
' ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW

archaeological sites warrant preservation. Specific mitigation
measures are identified in the Final EIR. No. 521 and CEQA
documentation for 1997 Update.

PROPOSED PARK IMPROVEMENTS
SUMMARY
' The proposed park elements promote public enjoyment and
education in a manner consistent with the preservation and
' enhancement of the area's natural, scenic, cultural and biological
resources. One of the main goals of the park's design is
preservation, protection and enhancement of the resources while
' providing low-intensity park activities which support that goal.
All of the elements of the park's plan combine in a very unique
way to achieve this goal. The overriding theme of interpretation is
prevalent throughout the park originating with activities at the
Interpretive Center, threading through the vista points and trail system
' and finally evidenced by the restoration of native habitat (General
Development Plan Update - Exhibit 7).
' A. Elements of the Plan
The design elements described below are specific to the
' ultimate development of the regional park and reflect the overall
design concept for the park's character. Implementation of these
features will occur in conjunction with the phased development
program for the park.
Parking and Access
The park entry road to the parking area is located on the west
side of Seapoint Street between Doral Lane and Garfield Avenue.
The parking area accommodates approximately 100 cars and
includes provisions for the disabled, buses, maintenance personnel
and volunteers. Park entry signage provides identification as well as
information.
IELEMENTS OF THE PLAN
-25-

' HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
' Interpretive Center
The Interpretive Center will help to initiate and promote the
' primary park theme which is one of restoration of the area's
resources while providing opportunities for public enjoyment and
education. Various exhibits will be housed in the center which will
educate the visitor about the Bolsa Chica ecosystem, the native plant
habitat and historical gas and oil production facilities.
' The Interpretive Center (approximately 5,000 square feet
with expansion to 8,000 SF) (Exhibit 8) is designed to facilitate a
comprehensive and functional public service including a main exhibit
hall, multi-purpose exhibit area, lab/work area/administration wing,
restrooms and a drop-off/pick-up public transit area. The conceptual
design for the center incorporates grade-adaptive design techniques
' to minimize aesthetic impacts within the park and view impacts from
adjacent residences. Additionally, the building is sited to take
advantage of wetland and ocean views (Interpretive Center -
' Sections & Elevations - Exhibit 9).
The building's outdoor view terrace provides an opportunity for
' groups to hear interpretive talks or take advantage of interpretive
exhibits by pointing out key natural resources within view.
Low level security lighting will be designed to provide safety
and protection to visitors with consideration of views from adjacent
homes. Trails will provide appropriate access to the center with
linkage to the overall park trail system. Trash receptacles and
benches will be installed as necessary and the entire complex will be
sensitively softened with native plants.

' Habitat Restoration/Enhancement
The overall theme for planting in the park is native habitat
restoration and enhancement. Since the configuration of the park is
long and linear, plant material will be carefully considered in relation
to slopes, views and adjacent residences and increasing habitat
value. Table 2 lists suggested plant palettes for various types of
habitat restoration and Exhibit 10 identifies the various Habitat
Restoration/Enhancement areas.
' The three main habitat types to be restored in the park
include: mixed woodland, coastal scrub and native grassland. Turf
' will be incorporated into the local park areas to facilitate an open and
unstructured play area.

A4� o
� rR
' Mixed Woodland
Areas designated for the establishment of the woodland
habitat will be located throughout the 106 acres and concentrated on
the lower portion of the Huntington Mesa bluffs. Select native trees
such as California sycamore, coast live oak and arroyo willow are
intended to provide most of the upper canopy and primary raptor
roosting sites.
' A few smaller tree species are included on the woodland
palette to help provide a natural transition between the mixed
ELEMENTS OF THE PLAN

' woodland and the surrounding scrub areas. These smaller tree
species will provide a buffer between possible nesting and roosting
sites and park trails.
i
In order to offset anticipated impacts to an Environmentally
Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) on the Bolsa Chica Mesa from
' residential development, a policy in the certified Bolsa Chica LCP
requires 20 acres of mitigation to replace ESHA for raptor.habitat
within the park. The County is coordinating park plans for habitat
' restoration and enhancement with Koll Real Estate Group and these
20 acres will be logically planned with the overall park planting
concept. A list of species recommended for planting in the designated
' Mixed Woodland is provided in Table 2.
Coastal Scrub
Coastal scrub is beneficial to small grazing mammals offering
nesting habitats and shrub cover from predators. Small mammal
' population such as cottontails, jackrabbits and native mice provide a
viable food source to coyotes and raptors which ultimately relieve
impacts on more sensitive wildlife species.
A wide variety of representative coastal scrub and coastal bluff
species is recommended for planting in this habitat area. The
' presence of several native scrub species in various isolated locations
across the site indicate that the site is suitable to support a diverse
group of shrubs, succulents and herbs found in coastal areas in
' Southern California. A list of species recommended for planting in the
designated Coastal Scrub areas is provided in Table 2.
Native Grassland
Native grassland habitats provide good foraging areas for
birds of prey. Certain wildlife such as the burrowing owl nest within
grassland areas and feed on insects, rodents and small birds.
Grasslands also offer a refuge to a variety of common species.
Incorporating this habitat into the park plan supports the concept of
diversity within the habitat areas. A list of container plants and seeds
recommended for planting in the designated Native Grassland areas
is provided in Table 2.

Ravine Enhancement
' The ravine is located on the west side of Seapoint Street
approximately midway between Palm Avenue and Garfield Avenue
and was created as a result of drainage from the adjacent Seacliff
Golf Course. Over a period of time, a riparian wetland habitat
' evolved and has spilled over into the nearby Bolsa Chica lowlands.
The ravine landform has steep unstable side slopes and these
slopes have contributed to erosional impacts. The plan proposes to
stabilize the ravine by re-grading the side slopes to help control future
erosion and to re-plant the site with appropriate riparian vegetation to
' increase habitat value. Visitors will be able to take advantage of
viewing all the restored habitat within the ravine and also will be able
to see view from the ravine to the lowlands by a bridge as part of the
' riding/hiking trail. Finally, a fence will be installed to not only protect
the new habitat and preserve it for use but also to protect the visitor
from potential safety hazards.

B. LANDFORM AND GRADING CONCEPT
Since land is being acquired from several owners and is
' subject to hazardous materials site clean-up, grading will be tied
directly to park phasing and dedication of land.
The overall grading concept for the park plan is to reshape
and recontour the "existing" landform so as to make it safe and
suitable for the park uses (e.g. trails, parking and habitat
enhancement).
Conceptually, park grading will follow the natural contours of
the land. Where existing landform has a step-like quality which
visually can be used to tuck and screen adjacent uses and minimize
view impacts (e.g. parking and local park area activities), every effort
' will be made to do so. The plan also provides for regrading the steep
side slopes of the ravine in order to minimize the impacts of erosion
and eliminate the potential safety hazard.

V. PHASING
1 Given the complex nature of land ownership, existing lease
agreements and current land uses within the park, the park plan has
been divided into three phases.
Phase 1
Phase 1 (Exhibit 13) encompasses land south of the intersection of
1 Seapoint Street and Garfield Avenue, west of Seapoint Street and
continues north of proposed development (Oceancrest). It is
comprised of approximately 51 acres, of which approximately 25
acres is within the City of Huntington Beach, and approximately 26
acres is in unincorporated Orange County.
1 Phase 1 of the Regional Park will include: the Interpretive
Center with off-street parking; trails for bicycle/pedestrian and
riding/hiking access; vista points; native plant habitat restoration; and
a local park area consisting of a children's play area and open turf
1 area. Since Phase 1 contains land within both the City of Huntington
Beach and Bolsa Chica Local Coastal Plan, Coastal Development
Permits will be obtained from the City of Huntington Beach and the
County of Orange.
All phases as identified in the Exhibit 13 are subject to land
acquisition and funding and will meet the County's requirements for
hazardous materials assessment (HMA) clean-up prior to park
development.

The phased development of this Regional Park General
Development Plan - 1997 Update will occur over time as funding
becomes available and land is received unencumbered by the
County. The total park implementation cost will extend over a period
' of at least 10 years and will most likely increase gradually assuming
inflation and increased construction and maintenance costs. In order
to estimate what the park implementation costs are for implementing
the entire regional park plan, an Implementation Cost breakdown is
provided in Table 1 for construction costs. It should be noted that the
construction costs are current at the time of this update and are likely
' to increase over time due to inflation.
As implementation of the General Development Plan - 1997
Update occurs, additional personnel will be required as use
increases. Staff include:
Two Park Rangers $39,000/yr.
One Maintenance Worker $30,000/yr.

' HARRIETT M WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Purpose
Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park is a linear shape open space
which links Huntington Central Park and Bolsa Chica State Beach. It
also serves as a buffer between the Bolsa Chica wetlands and
residential development. The park is being developed in coordination
with the Bolsa Chica Local Coastal Program and the City of
' Huntington Beach LCP and plays an important role as a habitat
restoration/enhancement area in a region which has experienced
rapid urbanization. The development and management of the park
' provides a unique opportunity to address habitat management and
enhancement as well as other important related issues such as visual
resources and interpretive opportunities.
' The following are specific project goals adopted for the Harriet
M. Wieder Regional Park for the Resource Management Plan:
• Restore, enhance and protect the natural resources of the
park.
• Provide compatible passive recreational uses which
emphasize enjoyment of the site's natural resources and
' scenic vistas.
• Provide interpretive opportunities which increase public
' understanding and appreciation of the significant natural
and cultural resources of the site.
The Resource Management Plan provides guidelines to the
County of Orange, Harbors, Beaches and Parks in the creation,
enhancement, maintenance and monitoring of existing and restored
' habitats, and also provides maintenance and operational guidelines
for public use that are compatible with the primary goal of preserving,
restoring and enhancing existing habitats.
' Location/Site Description
The park is located in Huntington Beach adjacent to Seapoint
Street and east of the Bolsa Chica wetlands. It encompasses 106
acres and is a combination of relatively flat areas (Huntington Mesa)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

and slope areas (bluffs). Historically, oil and gas production have
represented the primary use of the project site, and some of the
production facilities continue to operate today. Over the years, these
activities have affected the quality of other biological, archaeological
and visual resources on the project site. Development of the regional
park will require removal of the existing oil and gas production
facilities and site clean-up and will maintain and restore the biological,
visual and habitat resources of the site.
Park Use
The low intensity uses of the park will complement
' surrounding residential uses and are sensitive to the planned
restoration of Bolsa Chica wetland area adjacent to the park site. The
primary park user areas are planned for the flat mesa areas and an
' appropriate mixture of mixed woodland, coastal scrub and native
grassland habitat will cover the site in both the flat mesa areas and
the bluffs. Trails and interpretive opportunities are weaved
' throughout the site and provide another avenue for the resources to
be appreciated and maintained.
' RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN PROGRAMS
Habitat Restoration
' Guidelines have been prepared for the creation, restoration
and enhancement of mixed woodland, coastal scrub and native
' grassland habitats onsite. The habitat creation and enhancement
guidelines provide information on site preparation (soil studies,
grading, weed eradication), irrigation installation and planting.
Restored Habitat Maintenance and Monitoring
Following initial habitat creation or enhancement, specific
procedures must be implemented to ensure long-term survival and
function of the habitat. Guidelines have been prepared for the
maintenance of each specific habitat type to be enhanced, including
weed control and protection from human intrusion. Monitoring
guidelines have also been prepared to document the changes taking
place over time within each habitat enhancement area. This
information will provide data on the success of the restoration effort in
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

' terns of the procedures used and the ability of restored habitat to
support native wildlife species.
Management of Public Use
Specific guidelines have been developed for public use and
' how to safeguard against potential impacts in order to reach the
primary goal of preserving, protecting and enhancing habitats.
' Park-Wide Management Programs
Park-wide guidelines have been provided for weed, herbivore
' and domestic animal control, as well as cultural and visual resource
protection.

HARRIETT M MEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
I. RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
As indicated in Section III, Environmental Overview, site
investigations were conducted to inventory existing biological and
archaeological resources on the park site. Separate reports for each
of these investigations are contained in the Bolsa Chica Regional
Park Final EIR 521. The following briefly summarizes the important
resources of the project site.
The biological report (Final EIR 521-Appendix F) characterizes
the regional park site as primarily a ruderal field in degraded
condition consisting almost entirely of introduced annuals and weeds.
' Remnant coastal sage scrub and riparian species occur on-site,
however, none of the existing vegetation is considered significant.
' Faunal species which exist onsite are limited to small rodents,
a number of seed-eating and carnivore bird species including several
species of hawks and a species of burrowing owl. No rare or
' endangered species are expected to occur onsite. However, the
burrowing owl is listed as a second priority Species of Special
Concern and may require trapping and relocation.
Restoration of wetlands adjacent to the park, expansion of
wetland habitat onsite, the placement of Environmentally Sensitive
' Habitat Areas (ESHA's) (sycamore, white alder, willow or other native
tree species and coastal scrub) within the park, as well as the
revegetation of the park site will substantially increase the value of
biological resources onsite. A management program for the specific
habitat zones within the park is discussed in Section III of this
document.
' The archaeological investigation for the park site has identified
eight archaeological sites occurring within the park boundaries. While
' some of these sites have been disturbed by oil production activity, the
majority of these sites remain intact.
Aesthetically, the project site provides scenic views towards
the coastal communities to the northwest. The planned restoration of
the adjacent Bolsa Chica wetlands will also improve views from the
project site. Additionally, park development will increase the scenic
value of the park itself through the removal of existing oil facilities,

' HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
II. HABITAT RESTORATION GUIDELINES (ALL HABITATS)
The HWRP General Development Plan - 1997 Update for the
park focuses on the restoration of existing and potential habitat types.
The GDP Update is sensitive to the regional importance of the
riparian and coastal scrub plant communities as well as the mixed
' woodland and native grassland.
The intent of the Resource Management Plan is to provide
' important operational and maintenance guidelines for management of
the Harnett M. Wieder Regional Park, including management
practices which address the relationship between park development
' and the various resource components of the project site.
Mixed woodland will occur in pockets on the lower slope
elevations of the bluffs as well as in the ravine wetland area. Mixed
woodland will provide a place for raptor nesting and roosting. Coastal
scrub will occur on slopes and flatter areas and will provide transition
t from mixed woodland. Native grassland will occur throughout the
park to provide habitat for ground burrowing herbivores and foraging
for raptors.
------------
A. General Guidelines
rThe primary emphasis of the resource management program
for the park is the restoration of natural plant communities.
General site preparation, planting and irrigation are similar for
each of the plant communities to be restored, enhanced or
created and are outlined below.
HABITAT RESTORATION GUIDELINES-GENERAL
' HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Preservation of Indigenous Plant Species
Prior to any revegetation activities, all indigenous plant
species will be marked for protection, both in the field and on habitat
enhancement plans. Protective fencing (e.g. orange snow fencing),
will be placed around the vegetation to be preserved prior to the
initiation of any habitat restoration or enhancement activities.
Clearing and Weeding Eradication
' Clearing and weed eradication prior to planting will be
necessary in all areas to be revegetated. Mechanical clearing,
mowing, tilling and the limited use appropriate, non-residual
herbicides, such as Roundup or Rodeo (glyphosate) will be required.
Care must be taken to avoid damaging existing native vegetation to
' be preserved. This is particularly important with the use of herbicides
to avoid over-spray onto sensitive vegetation and running off into
adjacent resource areas.
Weeds shall be controlled in revegetation areas to the extent
necessary to prevent detrimental competition with container and
seeded plantings for water, nutrients and light.
With the exception of those weed species that cannot be
eradicated through manual removal (cardoon, bermuda grass, etc.)
all weeds present in the revegetation area must be removed manually
after initial plant installation. However, certain non-native weed
species may be treated with herbicide, at the discretion of the
biologist/restoration specialist. The contractor shall consult the
biologist/restoration specialist regarding all activities pertaining to
weed eradication.
Targeted species include, but are not limited to:
• mustard (Hirschfeldia incana and Brassica spp.)
• pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana)
' • bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon)
• Hottentot-fig (Carpobrotus edulis)
• garland chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum coronarium)
• french broom (Genista monspessulana)
• scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius)
• eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.)

• giant reed (Arundo donax)
• tree tobacco (Nicotiana glauca)
• pepper trees (Schinus spp.)
• ice plant (Mesembryanthemum spp.)
' Herbicide Treatment Guidelines
The County will work with the resource agencies to develop
the best implementation and management practices for use of
herbicides in the park. The contractor, maintenance staff and
Resource Monitor will work as a team to remove weeds in a sensitive,
timely and cost-effective manner.
In order to apply an unrestricted herbicide (Roundup Pro,
Rodeo, etc.), the contractor must have a Pest Control Business
License which requires that at least one individual employed by the
contractor be in possession of a Qualified Applicator's License (QAL).
If a qualified applicator is not present during treatment, all applicators
must have undergone documented herbicide application training. All
licenses must be issued by the State of California, be registered in
' Orange County and be of current status.
Only EPA approved, glyphosate base, systemic herbicides
(e.g. Roundup Pro or Rodeo) may be used and Rodeo must be used
when applying herbicides within 100 feet of a natural water course or
body of water. No pre-emergent herbicide may be used.
HABITAT RESTORATION GUIDELINES-GENERAL
' -8-
rHARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Spraying shall be conducted only when weather conditions are
Y
conducive to effective uptake of the herbicide by the targeted species
(e.g. sunny, dry, and when plants are actively growing), and when
wind conditions are such that herbicide drift is non-existent (five mph
or less). During herbicide application, protection for non-targeted
' species (e.g. native vegetation) is required. Any non-target species
lost due to intentional or unintentional application of herbicide shall be
replaced during the following planting season, at the direction of the
Resource Monitor.
Grading
Minor grading will occur to improve conditions for planting and
seeding in habitat areas. The ravine will be re-graded to stabilize
side slopes and minimize future erosional impacts to the Bolsa Chica
lowlands.
Soil Testina
Soil testing (agricultural suitability analysis) will be necessary
to determine suitability of the soils for the establishment of proposed
vegetation. If soil analyses of the proposed woodland expansion area
reveal the presence of high salts in the surface soils, it is
recommended that the upper 6 to 12 inches of soil be removed prior
to any grading or planting, as willows are intolerant of a high salt
content in the soil. If the soils are determined to be saline or
otherwise unsuitable, the unsuitable soils will either be removed or
irrigated frequently to leach the problem salts or amended to
compensate for these conditions until the plantings become
established.
Soil Preparation
' An agricultural suitability analysis will be conducted for each
increment of habitat restoration prior to the initiation of detailed plans.
' Surface and subsurface soil samples will be taken throughout each
habitat restoration site. Soil tests will be used to assess the quality of
the soil as a planting substrate and to determine suitable native plant
materials.
' HABITAT RESTORATION GUIDELINES-GENERAL
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Standard soil preparation techniques will be avoided because
native plants do not typically require supplemental nutrients to
become established. Moreover, the use of fertilizers could promote
the growth of non-native weedy species that could out-compete the
native species. Where poor soils are a problem, the aim will be to
select native plant materials that are adaptable to the given soil
' condition.
Planting
All planting should be performed between October 15 and
April 15, preferably following a rain of 0.5 to 1 inch. If seasonal
rainfall does coincide with a desired planting date, both the ground
and the plant material will be irrigated prior to planting. Pre-irrigation
is often critical to revegetation success, particularly with seeding.
Planting Techniques
Planting techniques to be used in habitat restoration efforts
include hydroseeding and hand seeding, as well as planting of
container plants, rooted cuttings, and unrooted cuttings. All planting
will be supervised by a biologist, restoration specialist or landscape
architect with experience in native plant revegetation.
Container plants will be spaced in natural looking patterns so
that each species is distributed throughout the planting area and
plants are not crowded together. Plants may be arranged in species
groups, based on the microhabitat conditions present and the
recommended spacing guidelines provided in the plant palettes. The
following planting techniques shall be employed for container plants:
• Lay out plants according to the guidelines provided in the
planting/restoration plans for each phase of construction.
• Planting holes for trees and shrubs will be augured or shovel
excavated at least three times as deep as the container's rootball
and two times as wide; all planting holes will have vertical sides
with roughened surfaces. No mulch will be added to the backfill
soil unless specified by the biologist/restoration specialist.
• Fill the planting hole with water, and allow the water to be
absorbed into the surrounding ground. This should effectively
HABITAT RESTORATION GUIDELINES-GENERAL
-10-
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
remove any air pockets and allow good contact between the
rootball and the surrounding soil.
• Roots will be adequately protected at all times from the sun and/or
drying winds.
• Remove the plant from the container and scarify the sides of the
root ball to promote development of new roots. Any roots wrapped
around the sides of the container will be pulled loose from the root
ball.
• Plant with roots untangled, where practicable; lay the roots out in
the planting hole to promote root penetration.
• Set the plant in the planting hole so that the crown of the root ball
is 0.5 to 1.0 inch above the ultimate soil surface (i.e. finished
grade). Lightly tamp the finely broken up backfill around the root
ball, making certain not to depress the crown of the plant. The top
of the root collar will be exposed rather than covered with soil;
however, the sides of the root ball shall not be exposed.
• A three inch high earthen watering berm shall be provided around
each planting.
• Immediately following each planting, deep soak each plant with
sufficient water to reach lower roots. This will assist in settling the
plant.
• A two to three inch layer of specified mulch will be spread in the
water basin of the tree. Shrub species will receive a one inch
thick layer of mulch. Mulch shall be kept 1" clear from the trunk or
root crown. Mulch will be nitrolized wood or bark chips
(one-quarter to one-half inch in diameter).
Seeding Techniques
Imprint seeding is the preferred method for native seed
application. However, manual broadcast seeding and/or
hydroseeding may be utilized as determined by the
biologist/restoration specialist. If the imprinting method is used, seed
shall be imprinted first, followed by planting. If hydroseeding or
HABITAT RESTORATION GUIDELINES-GENERAL
' -11-
i
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
' manual broadcast seed is selected, seed shall be applied following
installation of container plants.
Imprint Seeding
Imprint seeding equipment shall be "state-of-the-art" and must
be approved by the biologist/restoration specialist. The seed
imprinter shall be maneuvered through the site with a small crawler
tractor (JD450, Caterpillar D-4, D-5 or equal), and shall have a drum
of sufficient size to roll freely over any soil type.
Imprint seeding requires sufficient moisture in the soil to form
the imprints and make the seed stick to the surfaces of the
impressions. In order that the seeding may be done as early in the
fall as possible, and assuming that seasonal rains have not yet
begun, the site shall be irrigated such that the soil is damp to a depth
of 1" prior to seed application.
The biologist/restoration specialist will be on site to oversee
the imprint seeding operation and to direct and proportion the seed
mix applied in each different habitat area.
Hand Broadcast Seeding
All planting areas shall be watered thoroughly for three
consecutive days to saturate upper layers of soil prior to the planting
and seeding operation. The soil surface shall be allowed to dry out
for one day only prior to the seeding application. The landscape
contractor shall not allow the soil surface to become overly saturated
with water prior to seed installation. At the same time, the soil
surface should not become too dry during this period. The first
one-quarter inch of the soil surface shall contain residual moisture.
Seed shall be broadcast on the revegetation areas as
specified, immediately following container planting. The seed shall be
installed dry. Seed application methods could include hand or
mechanical broadcasting, followed immediately by raking to assure
good contact between seed and soil. Calibration of the seeder (if
used) for each type of similar types of seeds will be necessary,
possibly requiring several passes to complete the seeding evenly.
The spreader shall be clean and free of contaminants before the
HABITAT RESTORATION GUIDELINES-GENERAL
-12-
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
1 initiation of the seeding operation. The spreader(s) shall be cleaned
of excess seed when moving from one habitat to the next.
Areas to receive different seed mixes shall be marked off with
colored flags by biologist/restoration specialist. Application of each
habitat seed mix shall overlap the adjacent habitat seeded area to
create a transition area.
Seeding shall be performed so that each habitat area has an
even and complete coverage of seed specified for each of the habitat
zones. Seed shall be broadcast evenly on the soil around each
planting (outside watering basin), not directly on or under container
plantings. If the plant leaves have seed on them after installation
process, the seed shall be sprayed off with water by the contractor at
the end of each day. Following the installation of seed over each
area, the seed shall be incorporated into the soil to a maximum depth
of one-quarter inch by raking, dragging, harrowing, or drilling , and
tamped with the back of a rake, hoe, or similar tool to ensure good
seed to soil contact.
Hvdroseedina
If hydroseeding is selected, all container plants installed shall
be temporarily covered with buckets or bags that are large enough to
cover plants without damaging them, prior to hydroseeding in the
planted areas. These covers are to be removed within 12 to 24 hours
of the hydroseed application. Standard hydroseeding techniques
shall be employed, but with two applications. Specific application and
technique will be specified in each phase of construction documents.
Plant Suppliers
Seeds, rooted cuttings, and container plants specified on
plans will be obtained from suppliers and growers of native plants
local to Orange County. It is recommend that advance notice of 6 to
12 months be given to the supplier/grower to ensure that the required
species are ready at the time of planting.
Irrigation, planting plans and specifications will be prepared by
a professional with experience in native plant restoration and shall be
reviewed and approved by Parks Design.
' HABITAT RESTORATION GUIDELINES-GENERAL
-13-
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Temporary fencing may be required during the establishment
period to prevent public access. Fencing will not be constructed in
such a manner as to block existing recreational trails or park use
areas.
Irrigation
Temporary irrigation will be required for all habitat
enhancement areas. Domestic water will be used for park irrigation.
Hook-ups for the domestic water will be located on Seapoint Street at
the intersection of Cherryhill Lane.
All habitat restoration areas shall be self sustaining and
require no supplemental water once established. Irrigation systems
shall be designed to optimize watering efficiency during operation
through the use of materials and products developed for conservation
purposes. Irrigation systems shall be designed into hydrozones
which account for plant types, exposure, topography, and soil
conditions.
Temporary irrigation will be provided to assure proper
establishment of tree, shrub and grassland species, particularly in
case drought conditions occur during the first few seasons following
planting and seeding. Woodland species may require supplemental
irrigation on a seasonal basis for up to five years or more, depending
upon how vigorously the various species grow and how tolerant they
are of the saline conditions present within 8 to 20 feet below ground
surface where they are planted.
The irrigation system will be designed using the following
guidelines:
• All primary distribution main lines will be set in-ground at a depth
no less than 18 inches below mean grade. Lateral lines will also
be subsurface.
• Each habitat type will be valved separately, as they have different
water requirements.
• Bubbler (or drip irrigation as approved) will be required for tree J
plantings to encourage deep rooting. Precise specifications for

bubblers and control devices will be selected in coordination with
the biologist/restoration specialist.
• Overhead spray irrigation will be required to provide 100 percent
head to head coverage in coastal scrub habitat areas to help
establish seeded species, as well as container plantings. While
not absolutely required, overhead spray irrigation should also be
made available on a temporary basis within the native grassland
restoration areas.

HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
1 Ill. HABITAT RESTORATION GUIDELINES (SPECIFIC HABITATS)
A. Mixed Woodland Habitat
Mixed woodland plant community occurs in pockets at the
base of the bluff areas and in the drainage ravine in Phase 1. The
existing riparian plant community established in the ravine will be
preserved and expanded to link this habitat to the Bolsa Chica
lowlands. Mixed woodland will also be planted as mitigation for raptor
habitat displaced by development in the BCLCP.
Irrigation/Planting
' In mixed woodland habitat restoration areas, supplemental
irrigation shall be applied at regular intervals depending on the
frequency and volume of natural rainfall. During the first fall, winter
and spring after planting, all plantings will be irrigated to supplement
natural precipitation. In the absence of natural precipitation for more
' than a seven day period, approximately four hours of irrigation shall
be provided. This watering shall be sufficient to saturate the root
zones of the containers and to six inches deep for the seeded areas.
The biologist/restoration specialist will determine whether the
plantings require rainy season irrigation in subsequent years.
Planting methods to be utilized in the restoration of mixed
woodland include rooted cuttings, nursery grown container plants and
seeding. A proposed planting palette is provided in Table 2 of
the HWRP GDP Update.
B. Coastal Scrub Habitat
Coastal scrub enhancement will take place adjacent to mixed
woodland. Creation of this habitat will also link mixed woodland and
grassland and result in a more contiguous habitat.
Irrigation/Planting
A temporary irrigation system will be installed in coastal scrub
habitat areas. It is anticipated that irrigation will only be required
during the first two years following planting. Supplemental irrigation
shall be applied only when environmental conditions (e.g. low
seasonal rainfall, severely hot wind, etc.) are such that plants exhibit
HABITAT RESTORATION GUIDELINES-SPECIFIC
-16-
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
signs of stress, or as recommended by the biologist/restoration
specialist.
The primary method of establishing coastal scrub will be
through seeding with supplemental plantings of container plants. A
proposed planting palette is provided in Table 2 of the HWRP
GDP Update.
C. Native Grassland Habitat
Native grassland habitat will be installed in pockets on the flat
areas on the Huntington Mesa and adjacent to the proposed
residential development.
Irrigation/Planting
Temporary irrigation will be installed and water requirements
will be consistent with the establishment needs of plant species and
the amount of rainfall.
Native grassland planting will be composed of a mixture of
container plants and seeds. A proposed planting palette is
provided in Table 2 of the HWRP GDP Update.

' IV. RESTORED HABITAT MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING
GUIDELINES
The establishment and maintenance of restored/enhanced
natural plant communities is very different from that required in a
traditional ornamental landscape of highly maintained trees, shrubs
and turf. .The natural plant communities to be established within the
park will become self-sustaining over time, needing less maintenance
once established. Maintenance activities for restored/enhanced
habitats will be limited to the initial establishment period (2 to 5
years), and, over time, will focus more upon observation and
prevention of problems rather than upon traditional intensive
maintenance procedures (such as herbicide use, pruning and
fertilizing).
Each habitat restoration area will be monitored on a regular
basis during the initial establishment period by a qualified biologist/
restoration specialist or the Resource Monitor to ensure that the
restored habitats meet certain survival, coverage, and height
standards (performance criteria). The Resource Monitor shall take
note of any maintenance requirements or other necessary remedial
actions and communicate these needs to the maintenance staff.
The following outlines general maintenance requirements for
the habitats to be restored/enhanced on-site.
A. General Habitat Maintenance Guidelines
General maintenance guidelines are similar for each habitat
I and are discussed below. Specific maintenance requirements for
each habitat type will be detailed in plans and specifications for each
construction phase of the park plan.
Irrigation
The irrigation systems for the habitat restoration areas are
temporary in nature and will be abandoned in place once the
plantings are established (not less than 2 years from the date of
planting). The contractor in consultation with the Resource Monitor,
shall determine the timing for the cessation of irrigation. Irrigation
components such as valves and sprinkler heads, may be salvaged for
re-use elsewhere at the end of the establishment period. Irrigation
RESTORED HABITAT MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING GUIDELINES
-18-
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
' lines determined to be a safety hazard by the Resource Monitor will
be removed.
A controller chart indicating all systems and their appropriate
sequenced valves will be laminated on mylar and mounted inside of
each controller enclosure.
Watering Schedule
Proper watering of plant material is critical during the
establishment of the enhancement areas, particularly during the first
six months following planting. Varying watering schedules for each
individual habitat throughout the year will be facilitated through dual
program irrigation controllers. However, it is important to remember
that these supplemental water needs are approximate and may need
to be increased or decreased, depending upon weather or soil
conditions. The maintenance contractor, in consultation with the
Resource Monitor, will determine the need for changes in irrigation
scheduling.
Irrigation will be applied to encourage deep root growth
(periodic deep irrigation to a depth of at least 12 inches versus
frequent light irrigation). Each valve shall run for a minimum of 15
minutes per irrigation operation.
Irrigation System Maintenance
The irrigation systems shall be checked by the maintenance
contractor on a bi-weekly basis during the first three months following
installation of plant materials and monthly thereafter. Irrigation
system checks will include operating each valve to verify that
irrigation components are functioning properly and to check for any
leakages or breaks. In addition, irrigation system performance
checks will verify that there is adequate coverage and that there is not
excessive runoff. Irrigation spray heads, valves, or lines that are
functioning improperly will be flagged in the field and repaired or
replaced within one week. The Resource Monitor shall conduct
general surveys of irrigation performance during the monthly or
quarterly visits, and note of any malfunctioning irrigation components
will be communicated to the maintenance contractor. Any irrigation
system malfunctions that are noted by maintenance personnel or the
RESTORED HABITAT MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING GUIDELINES
-19-
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Resource Monitor will be recorded. Copies of these records will be
maintained by the maintenance contractor and reviewed by the
Resource Monitor.
Weed Control
It shall be the responsibility of the maintenance contractor to
control weeds within the enhancement areas to the satisfaction of the
Resource Monitor. At no time will weed growth be allowed to exceed
6 inches in height, unless otherwise directed by the Resource
Monitor. Before initiating any weed control measures, the
maintenance contractor will meet onsite with the Resource Monitor to
determine extent and methods of weed control. The maintenance
foreman will notify the Resource Monitor at least three (3) days prior
to commencing approved weed control measures.
Weed control measures to be used within the enhancement
areas fall into four general categories:
• hand removal
• cutting or mowing
' • herbicide application
• light exclusion
Clearing and Trash Removal
Pruning or clearing of any native vegetation will not be allowed
within the habitat restoration areas except for fire prevention
' purposes. The natural habitats should be allowed to develop into
dense, impenetrable woodlands with dense understories. If pruning is
deemed necessary by the maintenance foreman for safety reasons,
the Resource Monitor will be consulted, and will give final approval.
Deadwood and leaf litter of native shrubs and trees shall not
! be removed from the habitat restoration areas. Downed branches
and leaf litter provide valuable microhabitats for invertebrates,
reptiles, small mammals, and birds. In addition, the decomposition of
deadwood and leaf litter is essential for the replenishment of soil
nutrients and minerals.
Trash will be removed from the enhancement sites by hand on
a regular basis. Trash consists of any and all man-made materials,
' RESTORED HABITAT MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING GUIDELINES

HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
equipment, or debris dumped, thrown, or left within the habitat
enhancement areas.
All weeds that are removed during maintenance operations
shall be legally disposed of off-site or composted on-site.
Fencing
Temporary fencing (see GDP - Elements of the Plan for
permanent fencing) may be required around individual enhancement
areas during the establishment period to prevent public access.
Caging of individual understory plantings is also an effective means of
rodent control and will be used if necessary, as determined by the
Resource Monitor. Chain link fencing lined with wire mesh along the
lower portion is recommended as the best method for rodent control.
Entrance to the individual enhancement areas will be provided
through locked gates and keys will be provided to the County of
Orange Harbors, Beaches & Parks (HBP)/Operations staff, the
Resource Monitor, and the maintenance foreman. Motorized vehicles
(excluding light duty maintenance vehicles) will be prohibited from the
restoration/enhancement areas.

iB. Restored Habitat Monitoring Guidelines
Specific monitoring guidelines and requirements will be
established for each increment of habitat enhancement and will be
developed in consultation with the resource agencies. These
monitoring programs shall include performance criteria, reporting
requirements, and greater detail on monitoring methodology. General
monitoring methodology for all habitat types is discussed below.
Monitoring Methodology
Qualitative surveys by the Resource Monitor will consist of a
general site walkover and characterization of the enhancement
plantings. These surveys will take place once a month for the first
year and quarterly thereafter. General observations such as fitness
and health of the revegetation species, signs of over watering, and
drought stress will be noted during sampling. Tree and shrub species
will be examined throughout the sites in terms of percent cover,
species height, species mortality, species composition, and soil,
weed, and pest problems. Any maintenance needs will be recorded
on standard maintenance checklists which will be copied and sent to
both the maintenance contractor and the Resource Monitor. The
Resource Monitor will conduct regular irrigation system test runs to
verify that the irrigation system is functioning properly and providing
adequate coverage. Any irrigation maintenance needs will be
recorded on standard irrigation maintenance checklists which will be
copied and sent to the maintenance contractor and the Resource
Monitor.
Water Quality
! Run-off from residential developments are expected to
influence water quality and will have to be carefully monitored. The
City's storm water drainage system has been designed to handle
these future runoffs. Drainage from the Seacliff Golf Course into the
ravine will be monitored by Resource Monitor for impacts to wetland
habitat and potential safety hazards.
Resource Monitor/Maintenance Staff Guidelines
The following section outlines the various functions of the key
parties responsible for ensuring the successful implementation of the
RESTORED HABITAT MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING GUIDELINES
-22-
' HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Park's Resource Management Plan. Successful implementation is
dependent upon the cooperative efforts of two parties: the Resource
Monitor, and maintenance staff (represented by either park's
maintenance or private landscape contractor under contract with the
County of Orange HBP Operations).
Resource Monitor
The position of Resource Monitor will be key to ensuring the
implementation of this Resource Management Plan. The Resource
Monitor will be responsible for overseeing and directing all resource
management activities within the park. The Resource Monitor, to be
' selected the Manager of HBP, or appointed designee, shall (1) have
sufficient knowledge of park resources, goals, and objectives, (2)
review all habitat enhancement plans and specifications to ensure
conformance with park goals and objectives, (3) review all monitoring
reports prepared by biological monitor(s), and (4) oversee all
maintenance activities performed by maintenance personnel.
Maintenance Staff
Maintenance staff shall be responsible for implementing all
habitat enhancement and management guidelines outlined in the
RMP, under the guidance of the Resource Monitor. Maintenance
staff shall be comprised of HBP maintenance staff and/or a private
maintenance contractor(s). Maintenance staff shall (1) have
experience in implementing native habitat restoration plans, (2) be
able to identify local native plant species and exotic weed species,
and (3) be familiar with the resource management guidelines and
programs as outlined in the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park GDP
and RMP Update.
C. Long-Term Resource Maintenance/Monitoring Guidelines
' Critical to managing the park's resources are resource
maintenance monitoring methods over the lifetime of the park. These
methods are necessary to ascertain the day-to-day health of the
park's habitats that offer refuge to native plant and wildlife habitat.
The following outlines a park resource maintenance and monitoring
program that is intended to be preventive as well as prescriptive in
evaluating the park's resources beyond establishment of the various
habitats.

I
Existing Conditions Familiarity
In order to recognize disturbance, the park staff and other
volunteer staff should become familiar with the park resources. The
following provides familiarity guidelines:
• Utilize a standard monitoring form to establish inventory
' base within each habitat area.
• Perform physical spot checks of the species,
' habitat locations or indicator plants on a monthly
basis.
• It is recommended that several reference manuals
be employed to identify native as well as non-
native plant species.
Invasive weeds or exotics within the park will
require an ongoing effort to eradicate and maintain.
Developing an inventory of plant leaf specimens of
invasive and exotic plant materials will be useful to
support staff in implementing an effective invasive
weed control program. Collecting an inventory of
plant leaf specimens would be helpful to support
staff in distinguishing native plants from weed
'look-a-likes'.
• Perform random physical spot checks through the
park on monthly basis to monitor all park
resources.
• Determine loss or gain margins within each area of
special concern.
If losses or distress are noted, follow area closure guidelines
below.
' RESTORED HABITAT MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING GUIDELINES
-24-
HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
' Closure Procedures of Damaged Areas
It is suggested that area closures occur when an area of the
park has sustained enough distress to warrant rehabilitation.
Determining closure is often difficult and should be decided by park
maintenance staff and/or Resource Monitor.
' The following would serve as a foundation for closure guidelines:
• Area closures would be implemented if any public uses
impacted critical nesting seasons of sensitive species.
' • Within habitat areas, monitor the area daily to evaluate
the extent of disturbance. If it is determined the area
disturbance is an isolated event, continue monitoring the
' area for further occurrence. If the area is determined to
be affected by an ongoing disturbance, follow closure
guidelines. As an alternative, consider implementing low
profile aesthetic fencing to retain use on existing trails
while allowing distressed area to "rest". If use is so
heavy as to prohibit proper flow of people, trail widening
or an alternative trail should be considered.
Fencing of Closure and Restoration Areas
' • Fence off disturbed area with approved temporary
fencing.
' • Fencing should occur within a 20 foot periphery from
affected area.
' • Fencing should remain until restored habitat is
established as determined by park maintenance staff
and Resource Monitor.
Stress Recognition
It would be difficult to list all of the possible causes to events
that might disturb the resources of the park. During the park staffs
duties of the day, attention should always be focused on distress
signals throughout the park. Some of these distress signals may
include:
RESTORED HABITAT MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING GUIDELINES
' -25-
' HARRIETT M WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
' • Erosion
• Off-trail foot, vehicular prints
• Damaged vegetation
• Displaced, overturned elements, i.e.: rocks, trail
surfacing
' • Fire or burned areas
• Weed infestation
' Leaf damage due to pest infestation
• Standing water
• Evidence of habitat disturbance, i.e.: broken eggs, fur or
' feather displacement
• Dead animals
Causes of Stress
Before rehabilitation can be effectively accomplished, causes
' of distress must be determined. Often these causes are not readily
apparent and require an ongoing, isolated and intensive monitoring
program. If disease or a complicated imbalance to an ecosystem is
suspected by the park staff, the Resource Monitor should be notified.
Dead animals found on the park site that have unclear causes of
death should have a necropsy performed to determine the cause of
death.
Routine Monitoring Methods
A routine monitoring program serves to determine distress
signals. Programs that may be initiated on a semi-annual to annual
basis include:
• Aerial Photography. Surveying the park site by air is
useful to determine succession and recession rates of
habitats.
• Night Monitoring. Night Monitoring programs serve to
benchmark previous surveys of nocturnal wildlife.
• Transect Monitoring. This analysis would isolate various
narrow strips as sampling areas within the park to
monitor changes over a period of time. It is

recommended the locations include all three habitat
areas of the park. Surveys should occur every six
months during critical nesting seasons of sensitive
species with a record of sighted wildlife, vegetation and
any observed changes to the dynamics of the existing
habitats.
V. MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC USE
While the primary goal of the park is the preservation,
protection, and enhancement of the park's existing and potential
natural resources, another equally important goal exists. This goal
states that the park will be managed to provide optimum use and
enjoyment of park's natural resources by the public. The park
provides many opportunities for public recreation which are
' compatible with the preservation of the park's resources. These uses
include, but are not limited to, hiking, biking, riding, wildlife and habitat
interpretation, and birding.
A. Public Use Guidelines
The GDP for the park provides many passive recreational
opportunities to the public including an interpretive center, equestrian,
hiking and biking trails. The increased human use associated with
the introduction of these uses on the site may lead to potential
adverse impacts on the proposed habitat restoration areas.
Increased human presence in the area may cause vandalism,
' littering, wildlife disturbance, and plant removal within natural habitat
areas. The following guidelines have been developed in response to
these potential impacts.
• Public use will be restricted to designated areas. Public access
into natural habitat areas will be via trails. Unauthorized areas will
be closed by providing plant buffers, or by installing fencing.
Signage will also be installed to designate areas off-limits to park
users and solicit the public's help in preserving the park's natural
' resources. Disturbed areas shall be re-planted to their previous
condition as soon as possible.
• Resource protection fencing will be constructed and maintained
on the blufftop edge and adjacent the drainage ravine in Phase 1.
' MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC USE
-27-
' HARRIETT M.WIEDER REGIONAL PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
• Maintenance vehicles will be restricted to designated trails and
maintenance roads. No unauthorized motorized vehicles will be
allowed within the park except in designated parking areas.
• No collection of wildlife, plant species, or other natural objects by
the general public shall be permitted. Signs prohibiting the taking
of plant or wildlife species shall be posted throughout the site.
• Interpretation programs will be develop to educate the user about
' the park's resources and identify ways they may participate in
.protection and preservation of the resources.
• Trash shall be removed by hand on a regular basis from the site.
Trash is defined as any and all man-made materials, equipment,
or debris thrown, or left within the park site. Such trash will be
' removed as needed.
• As each increment of habitat restoration is implemented, signage
' shall be posted to encourage public participation in the
preservation of the habitat value of the project.
• If human intrusion into the habitat restoration areas becomes a
problem, the Resource Monitor in consultation with park's
maintenance staff shall evaluate the need for additional signage
or buffers to discourage human intrusion.

The purpose of this section is to outline the basic operation
framework for the park, including guidelines for facility staffing, hours
of operation, access and public safety.
1 Staffing
The County of Orange HBP Operations will be responsible for
1 operation and maintenance of the regional park. Park Operations will
prepare an Interim Operations Plan per phased development as
required. Specific staffing and personnel needs for the park will
depend largely upon park user trends at the time the park is fully
developed. At ultimate buildout, County staffing or a contractual
equivalent is recommended to consist of two park rangers, one
' maintenance worker, and three groundskeepers. Park rangers would
be responsible for onsite public contact and maintenance supervision.
A park ranger would typically be responsible for park presentations,
1 informational brochures, handouts, interpretation of park features,
coordinating interpretive tours and volunteer programs, and
supervising the maintenance program for the park.

' VI. PARK-WIDE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
A. General Guidelines
Weed Control
' It is important that selective weed control efforts be
implemented throughout the park in an effort to reduce the weed seed
"bank" that is provided by non-native vegetation outside of habitat
' enhancement areas. Park-wide weed removal should be conducted
at least twice yearly--during the early spring and the again in the fall.
' Weed problems are expected to be high along trail margins
where surface run-off collects. As with the habitat restoration areas,
mechanical (hand) clearing is the preferred method of weed removal.
' If mechanical removal is infeasible, then the limited use of non-
residual herbicides such as Roundup, is recommended. The
Resource Monitor shall be consulted prior to the use of herbicides.
Herbivore Control
' Local wildlife such as rabbits, pocket gophers and ground
squirrels in the area may be expected to browse on the leaves,
stems, and roots of plantings. If the Resource Monitor determines
' that the plantings are being jeopardized by wildlife, corrective
measures such as temporary chicken wire fences, or plant cages may
be installed as approved by the Resource Monitor. The standard silt
fence will work well for controlling rabbits; or, a three-foot high
chicken wire fence can be used in small concentrated areas. The
Resource Monitor shall recommend or approve methods for
controlling herbivores.
Domestic Animal Control
' Pets shall be leashed at all times and shall only be allowed on
designated trails within the park. Animal control violations shall be

B. Archaeological Resource Management
Prior to any site preparation or grading activities within the
phased park development, a County-certified archaeologist shall be
retained, who will set up a program to ensure protection and
documentation of significant resources. This program shall include
observation of grading activities during construction implementation
and subsequent salvage and cataloging, as necessary, and
procedures for temporarily halting or redirecting work to permit
sampling, identification, and evaluation of the artifacts of fossils, as
necessary. If a major archaeological finding is made, the
archaeologist shall report such findings to the Manager, HBP, or his
designee. If the archaeological resources are found to be significant,
the archaeologist shall determine appropriate actions, in cooperation
with the Manager, HBP or his designee, for exploration and/or

C. Visual Resources
Related to the development of the specific resource
management program outlined in this document is the need to identify
specific management practices to maintain the visual resources of the
park. Park development will substantially increase the aesthetic
quality of the project site as oil and gas production facilities are
removed and habitat restoration is implemented. The primary visual
resource issue of the park involves ensuring that park habitat areas
' do not obstruct views from existing and planned adjacent residences
towards the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and the Pacific Ocean. Trees in
the mixed woodland will be located at lower elevations so as not to
' block views. Trees installed around the Interpretive Center and local
park areas will be carefully placed to screen, and provide shade
where appropriate. Additionally, the resource management program
will coordinate tree pruning with the Resource Monitor to ensure that
views are maintained and any new raptor nesting sites are not
disturbed.

Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
PROJECT BACKGROUND
' Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park is a 106-acre site located primarily on the
blufftops of the Huntington Beach Mesa overlooking the Bolsa Chica wetlands in
the jurisdiction of both the County of Orange and Huntington Beach (see
' Exhibit 1-Regional Location) . The "linear" park boundary extends northerly
from Pacific Coast Highway to approximately Talbert Avenue in the City of
Huntington Beach. The park is bordered on the south by Bolsa Chica State
' Beach, on the west by the Bolsa Chica wetlands and residential development on
the east along Seapoint Street. Huntington Beach Central Park lies northeast
of the project site across Edwards Street.
' In 1992 the County of Orange Harbors, Beaches and Parks - Design Division
prepared the Bolsa Chica Regional Park General Development Plan/Resource
Management Plan. Environmental Impact Report No. 521 was prepared to address
' the potential environmental impacts resulting from the park plan.
On November 10, 1992 the Orange County Board of Supervisors certified Final
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 521 and approved the Bolsa Chica
' Regional Park General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan. The Bolsa
Chica Regional Park was later re-named by the Orange County Board of
Supervisors to Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park.
Subsequent to Board approval of the General Development Plan (GDP) ,
the County's Harbors, Beaches and Parks Design Division prepared conceptual
' plans for Phase 1 of the GDP. The plans were submitted to the the City of
Huntington Beach for a Coastal Development Permit for the portion within the
City's jurisdiction. During the City's review and approval process, adjacent
residents and other interested groups raised concerns regarding aspects of the
project. The concerns focused on three main issues:
1. The landscape plan in the 1992 GDP was planned as mostly turf
' grasses and other non-native plantings. Adjacent residents and
interest groups wanted a more natural-looking park with native
plantings.
2. The off-street pocket parking area planned along Seapoint
Street was perceived to be a conflicting land use with the
existing residential development along Seapoint Street.
3. The plan to partially fill a drainage ravine was perceived by
interest groups as too impactive on existing wetland habitat.
Additionally, several residents requested that local park-type uses (i.e.
playgrounds and turf areas) remain as part of the park plan.
After a series of meetings with City staff and concerned citizens, the issues
were resolved and a new park plan was approved in concept by the City Council
of Huntington Beach on April 15, 1996. The County agreed to update the
Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park GDP, and seek the necessary approvals based
on the new conceptual park plan.

Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
On January 11, 1996, the California Coastal Commission certified the Bolsa
Chica Local Coastal Program (BCLCP) . A certified LCP authorizes the County to
issue Coastal Development Permits. Approximately 57 acres of the 106 acre
Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park (HWRP) are within the BCLCP boundary. Plans
for the HWRP must be consistent with the BCLCP prior to the issuance of
Coastal Development Permits.
' PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
' In February 1992 Draft EIR No. 521 was prepared and circulated for the
Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park General Development Plan/Resource Management
Plan (previously known as Bolsa Chica Regional Park General Development
Plan/Resource Management Plan) . It was shown in the EIR that through the
incorporation of appropriate mitigation measures identified in the EIR, the
majority of the potentially adverse impacts associated with the project will
be mitigated to a level of insignificance.
Taking a conservative approach, it was determined that after mitigation, some
anticipated environmental impacts of the project may not be reduced to a level
of insignificance. These impacts included the lack of domestic water
' resources to serve the park; and cumulative impacts to cultural
(archaeological) resources and air quality. With implementation of the
mitigation measures in EIR No. 521 the effects would be reduced, but not to a
' level of insignificance.
As discussed above under Background, pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act Guidelines, the Orange County Board of Supervisors certified Final
EIR No. 521 on November 10, 1992 and also approved the Harriett M. Wieder
Regional Park General Development Plan/Resource Management Plan. The project
analyzed in the EIR is the development of a 106-acre park for passive
recreation. Phased development was proposed as the park property is acquired
and funding becomes available for implementation. Approved elements included
a continuous pedestrian/bike trail connecting to other trails in the area, an
' equestrian trail, adventure play areas, vista points, picnicking, and open
meadow areas. In addition, the project included the development of
approximately 15 acres of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas.
An alternative analyzed in EIR No. 521 was for the development of the park
with the inclusion of an interpretive center. Both a 10, 000 square foot and
5,000 square foot building were analyzed. The impacts considered with the
addition of an interpretive center in the park included additional traffic,
construction of a parking lot, and aesthetic impacts caused by the structure.
The interpretive center alternatives were considered environmentally similar
to the impacts of the project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Orange County Harbors, Beaches & Parks (OCHBP) has prepared a General
Development Plan (GDP) /Resource Management Plan (RMP) - 1997 Update for the
106-acre Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park. In addition, OCHBP has prepared a
' plan to improve the Phase 1 area of the park which requires a Coastal
Development Permit from both the County and City of Huntington Beach.

Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
' A. General Development Plan 1997 Update
The proposed project is the General Development Plan (GDP) -1997 Update for the
Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park (see Exhibit 2-GDP Update) . The GDP-1997
Update reflects the City-approved conceptual park plan which incorporates the
changes requested by the City of Huntington Beach, adjacent residents, and
other interested groups.
' The character of the park will remain passive with uses focusing on resource
enhancement, protection and interpretation. Improvements include trails for
1 bicycle, equestrian and pedestrian access; a 5, 000 square foot interpretive
center, and off-street parking area; interpretive vista points; native
plantings; and two three-acre "local park areas" with playgrounds, picnic
tables, benches and open turf area.
' The GDP-1997 Update, however, substitutes a majority of the previously planned
turf grass with native vegetation (e.g. coastal sage scrub and native
grassland) for enhanced wildlife habitat purposes (see Exhibit 3-Habitat
Restoration/Enhancement) . The updated park plan has a more natural concept
than the previously approved 1992 GDP.
All of the proposed changes to the 1992 GDP are contained in Attachment A.
The following is highlights of the changes:
' ° PARKING
1992 GDP: Two off-street pocket parking areas at Seapoint and
' Palm and along Edwards for a total of approximately
130 parking spaces.
GDP-1997 Update: Off-street parking for approximately 100 cars
' adjacent to the interpretive center.
° INTERPRETIVE CENTER
1992 GDP: An optional interpretive center building of
approximately 10,000 square feet with parking for
50 cars.
GDP-1997 Update: An interpretive center building approximately 5, 000
square feet with an option to expand to 8, 000
' square feet with parking for approximately 100
cars.
° LANDSCAPING IN PARK USE AREAS
1992 GDP: The use of ornamentals and California natives for
trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Turf grass would
be used in the open meadow areas.
GDP-1997 Update: Ornamental landscaping materials including turf
grass will only be used in the two 3-acre local
park areas of the park. The remainder of the park
will be planted with native species.
Page 3
r
' Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
° GRADING
1992 GDP: Recontour the blufftop areas to increase usable
area. The ravine would also be filled to provide
for additional usable park area.
' GDP-1997 Update: Re-grade the blufftop areas for native habitat
restoration. The previous gas plant site will be
re-graded to create more natural-looking landforms.
The ravine will be re-graded and re-vegetated to
mitigate erosion impacts, stabilize side slopes and
increase viable habitat areas. A bridge structure
over the ravine is proposed to accommodate the
equestrian/multi-use trail.
° ESHAs•
' 1992 GDP: Approximately 15 acres of Environmentally Sensitive
Habitat Area (ESHA) will be located in the regional
' park in order to restore ESHAs displaced by
development within the Bolsa Chica Local Coastal
Program area.
GDP-1997 Update: Approximately 20 acres of ESHAs will be included as
part of the mitigation program to replace a portion
of the ESHAs displaced by development in the areas
of the BCLCP.
° PROJECT PHASING
' 1992 GDP: Implement the project in three phases.
GDP-1997 Update: The limits of Phase 1 begin adjacent to the
' intersection of Seapoint Street and Palm Avenue up
to the intersection of Seapoint Street and Garfield
Avenue. Subsequent phasing will be dependent on
' funding and land acquisition.
B. Coastal Development Permit
The project also includes a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) to improve the
Phase 1 area of Harriett Wieder Regional Park. Phase 1 lies within the
coastal zone and is comprised of approximately 51 acres with approximately 26
acres within the City of Huntington Beach, and approximately 25 acres in
unincorporated Orange County. Both the City and the County have certified
Local Coastal Programs over the area, and are authorized to approve CDPs
within their respective jurisdictions.
The improvements within Phase 1 are as follows (see Exhibit 4-Phase 1 Concept
plan) :
° Native Habitat Restoration
Preserve the site's existing native plant material and revegetate the
degraded areas of the park with three primary native habitat types
including native grasslands, mixed woodland, and coastal scrub. The
Page 4
' Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
' native habitat restoration is designed to provide a buffer to the
sensitive Bolsa Chica wetlands, and to increase the valuable habitat
areas for raptors and other wildlife species.
' Wire strand fencing will be installed on the edge of park trails around
native habitat restoration areas. This fencing will deter park users
' from disturbing the restoration areas during the plant establishment
period, while allowing small animals to migrate between habitat areas.
° Interpretive Center
' Construct a 5, 000 square foot interpretive center located on the former
gas plant site on a large flat area on the blufftop.
' ° Parking Area
An approximate 53, 000 square foot parking area for approximately 100
cars will be provided to accommodate visitors using the interpretive
center, the trails or the local park area. Views of this parking area
from adjacent residential areas will be minimized by constructing the
parking area lower than the elevation of Seapoint Street. The parking
area will be screened through berming and landscape treatments. The
' parking surface will be decomposed granite or other pervious surface to
reduce surface runoff and aid in groundwater recharge. The parking area
will be controlled with a lockable gate to prohibit access during hours
' when the park is closed.
° Local Park Area
' A three-acre local park will be provided with uses consistent with a
"neighborhood park" such as an open turf area and a playground. The
local park area is sited immediately north of the proposed parking area.
Some grading will be required to smooth out the existing landform and to
' make the site accessible to the disabled.
° Ravine Enhancement
The ravine which carries drainage from Seacliff Golf Course under
' Seapoint Street, through the park and into the Bolsa Chica Wetlands will
be enhanced by regrading the eroded side slopes to eliminate the
hazardous conditions. Approximately 5,800 cubic yards of material will
' be excavated from the ravine. The surplus soil will be used at the
interpretive center and local park site for berming and contour grading
to smooth out the unnatural-looking landforms.
The following improvements are proposed for the ravine:
' - regrade the eroded side slopes and smooth out the contours to
eliminate steep hazardous conditions;
remove exotic plant material and re-plant with native plants
(riparian, mixed woodland and coastal scrub) to control erosion and
improve the habitat value;
- install a pedestrian bridge over the ravine for equestrian and
pedestrian use;
- install a six foot high fence around the ravine to protect restoration
plantings, protect wildlife and provide public safety.
Page 5
' Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
' The ravine enhancement requires a 1601 Agreement (streambed alteration)
from the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) . The CDFG issued
a 1601 to the County based on the 1992 GDP. The CDFG has indicated that
' the existing 1601 will be sufficient for the proposed Phase 1 ravine
enhancement project.
' ° Bike/Pedestrian Trail
A ten foot wide paved (concrete or asphalt) off-street trail will be
constructed parallel to Seapoint Street between Palm and Garfield for
bicycle and pedestrian use. The majority of this trail is to be
constructed over an area previously impacted by undergrounding of
utilities.
' ° Riding and Hiking Trail
A ten foot wide decomposed granite trail with two foot wide shoulders
will be installed along the blufftop edge between Palm Ave. and Garfield
Ave. This trail will provide access for pedestrians and equestrians.
° Maintenance Access Road
A ten foot wide decomposed granite maintenance road will be installed in
' the southern portion of the Phase 1 area between the Palm Ave. entry
trail and the existing helipad. The maintenance road will allow
maintenance crews to access the proposed habitat enhancement areas in
' the southern portion of the Phase 1 area. Control gates will be
provided to allow access for maintenance crews and will prevent access
by park users.
' This maintenance road will be converted to trail use during subsequent
phasing of park development, following removal of the oil and gas
facilities.
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
' The 106-acre project site consists primarily of low-lying non-native weeds and
grasses with isolated stands of coastal sage scrub and riparian species in
limited areas. An drainage ravine, created by runoff from the adjacent
Seacliff Golf Course and surrounding residential area, supports a stand of
' arroyo willows and cat-tails, and has resulted in the development of a
freshwater marsh in the lowland area offsite. Onsite facilities include oil
storage tanks and pipelines, numerous abandoned and active oil wells,
above-ground gas transmission lines, and a helipad. Private dirt and paved
access roads also cross the site. Due to the extensive disruption by the oil
and gas production activities over the years, the mesa bluff tops have been
' modified and the vegetation has degraded.
Currently, nine pipelines exist on a pipe rack above ground within the Phase 1
portion of the park. These pipelines transport fuel gas, water, gasoline and
' wet gas from the existing oil and gas facility along Pacific Coast Highway to
facilities in the Bolsa Chica lowlands. The pipelines range in size from
1.5-inch to 8-inch diameter. Three of these pipelines are no longer needed
' and will be removed. Prior to the start of the Phase 1 construction, the
remaining six pipelines will be relocated underground. The pipeline
undergrounding is not considered a part of the Phase 1 project and will
require separate permitting and environmental documentation.

Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
APPLICATION OF CEOA
t The purpose of this document is to serve as an Addendum to EIR No. 521 in
conformance with Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act
Statutes and Guidelines. The guidelines stipulate that an Addendum to an EIR
shall be prepared if " . . .some changes or additions are necessary but none of
the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a
subsequent EIR have occurred. "
Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines states that no subsequent EIR shall be
prepared unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial
evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following
occurs:
1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require
major revisions to the previous EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects;
2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under
which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions to
the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects; or
3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at
the time the previous EIR was certified as complete shows any of the
following:
a) The project will have one or more significant effect not discussed
in the previous EIR;
b) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more
severe than shown in the previous EIR;
c) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be
feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects of the project, but the project
proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative;
or
d) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably
different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would
substantially reduce one or more significant effect on the
environment, but the project proponent declines to adopt the
mitigation or alternative.
As the Lead Agency for this project, the County of Orange conducted an Initial
Study and has determined that none of the above conditions have occurred that
' would require the preparation of a Subsequent EIR. No new information of
substantial importance, or new circumstances under which the project is being
Page 7
Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
undertaken has occurred. The potential impacts of the GDP Update and Phase 1
(Coastal Development Permit) will be the similar if not less in some instances
as the 1992 GDP.
rThrough the Initial Study process, it was found that the changes to Final EIR
No. 521 are considered minor and do not raise important new issues about
significant effects on the environment. Further, all environmental impacts of
the project have been adequately addressed in Final EIR No. 521, and that this
Addendum No. IP 96-178 together with Final EIR No. 521 is adequate and
appropriate pursuant to CEQA.
INTENDED USES OF THIS DOCUMENT
The project EIR No. 521 together with this Addendum No. IP 967178 will be used
by the County of Orange as the lead agency for making the CEQA findings for
approval of the subject project. This document will be used for CEQA
compliance by both the County of Orange and the City of Huntington Beach for
issuance of the Coastal Development Permits. In addition, this document
together with EIR No. 521 may be used by various regulatory/responsible
agencies including the California Department of Fish and Game.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The following is a comparative analysis of associated impacts with the
proposed project as compared to the project addressed in the 1992 Final EIR
No. 521. This Initial Study will focus on significant new information,
' substantial changes in previously identified impacts, and the need to add,
delete or modify any mitigation measures contained in Final EIR No. 521. The
objective of this environmental analysis is to determine if the proposed
project presents any new or more severe significant impacts apart from those
identified in Final EIR No. 521.
1. LAND USE & PLANNING. Would the proposal:
a) Conflict with general plan designation or zoning? NO IMPACT
The project site is designated by the County's General Plan Land Use Element
as "Open Space" and the City of Huntington Beach's General Plan Land Use
Element as "Open Space" . The passive regional park facility is consistent
with these General Plans.
' Subsequent to the approval of the park GDP and certification of EIR No. 521,
the Bolsa Chica Local Coastal Program (BCLCP) was approved by the Orange
County Board of Supervisors and certified by the California Coastal
Commission. Approximately 57 acres of the 106-acre park lies within the
BCLCP. The BCLCP identifies the 106-acre Harriett Wieder Regional Park as a
nature-oriented and passive recreational park, including a visitor
interpretive center, hiking/jogging trails, equestrian trails, and
interpretive trails and overlooks.
The proposed project will not conflict with the general plan designations or
the BCLCP. The project is also consistent with the City of Huntington
Beach's approved LCP for the area.
' Page 8
r
Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or policies of agencies with
jurisdiction over the project? NO IMPACT
The proposed project will be required' to seek permits from various federal
and state agencies having jurisdiction over the project. All conditions
necessary for obtaining the required permits will be met. The project will
not conflict with any environmental plans or policies.
c) Affect agricultural resources or operations (e.g. , impacts to soil or
farmlands, or impacts from incompatible land uses) ? NO IMPACT
The proposed project will not affect agricultural resources or operations.
The project site is currently used for oil and gas production activities, and
onsite facilities include oil wells and storage facilities, as well as above-
and under-ground pipelines.
d) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established .community
(such as a low-income or minority community)? NO IMPACT
The proposed project will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of
an established community..
e) Conflict with adjacent, existing or planned, land uses? NO IMPACT
The regional park will not conflict with adjacent, existing or planned land
uses. The proposed park plan, including Phase 1 has been designed to
minimize concerns and perceived land use conflicts with the adjacent
1 residential uses. EIR No. 521 indicated a potential conflict with the use of
developed phases (i.e. , Phase 1) adjacent to existing oil-related uses at the
future phases of the park. The following mitigation measure from EIR No. 521
will be applied to avoid such impacts:
Mitigation Measure
1-1 Prior to the opening of Phase 1 and subsequent phases, Harbors,
Beaches and Parks-Design shall consult owners of existing facilities
and operations onsite during the phased implementation of the project
to minimize public and equestrian conflicts with existing uses.
2. POPULATION & HOUSING. Would project:
a) Cumulatively exceed adopted regional or local population projections?
NO IMPACT
' The proposed project will not affect population projections in anyway.
b) Induce substantial growth in an area directly or indirectly through
the project in an undeveloped area or extension of major infrastructure?
NO IMPACT
The nature of the proposed project does not have the potential to induce
growth in any way.
r Page 9
r
Wieder Regional Park
I Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
1 c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable housing?
NO IMPACT
' The proposed project will not displace any existing housing.
3. GEOPHYSICAL. Would project result in or expose people to impacts involving:
a) Local fault rupture? NO IMPACT
The proposed project will not result in additional exposure of people or
property to earthquakes or liquefaction. The southeast trending
Newport-Inglewood fault zone crosses the northern portion of the park and is
designated by the State of California Alquist-Priolo Studies Zone Act as an
active fault. EIR No. 521 indicates that this could be a potentially
significant hazard to structures located on or immediately adjacent to the
fault. The project does not propose any structures on or immediately
adjacent to the fault.
b) Seismicity: ground shaking or liquefaction? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
The project site, like all of southern California, is subject to ground
shaking and other secondary impacts from seismic activity, such as
liquefaction. According to EIR No. 551 prepared for the Bolsa Chica Local
Coastal Program (Bolsa EIR) , liquefaction is restricted to the Lowland (p.
4.2-14) . The park site is on the Huntington Mesa, making liquefaction not
likely to occur in the park.
c) Seismic: seiche or tsunami? NO IMPACT
The proposed project is not likely to expose people or property to seiches or
tsunamis. The Bolsa EIR indicates that the possibility of seiches and
tsunamis in this area is remote.
d) Landslides or mudslides? NO IMPACT
Final EIR No. 521 did not identify landslides or mudslides as potential
project-related impacts. No new information or circumstances have occurred
which would result in anticipating landslides or mudslides at the project
site.
e) Erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from
!; excavation, grading or fill? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
The proposed project will reshape and recontour the existing landform,
creating a safe and suitable landform for the park uses. Grading and
earthmovement will be kept to a minimum. EIR No. 521 did not identify
significant impacts in terms of proposed changes in topography. In addition,
construction activities will conform to the County of Orange grading and
building code standards, therefore, no significant impacts will result.
f) Subsidence of the land? NO IMPACT
Subsidence or displacement, can be caused b : 1) withdrawal or injection
P � Y J
of oil, gas or water. from underlying formations; 2) decomposition of buried
Page 10
r
I
Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
organics; 3) underlying poorly consolidated material reconsolidates from
seismic activity; and 4) increased consolidation of underlying poorly
consolidated material by construction of heavy man-made structures (e.g. ,
tall tanks and buildings) or large earthen storage piles. According to the
Bolsa EIR, surface displacement in the project area between 1982 and 1985
averaged, at the most, 0.025 feet per year. Long-term subsidence is
anticipated to be 0.01 feet per year; no appreciable change in tectonic
settlement during the life of the project will occur.
g) Expansive soils? NO IMPACT
EIR No. 521 did not identify impacts related to expansive soils. No new
information has been presented which identifies impacts caused by expansive
soils.
h) Unique geologic or physical features? NO IMPACT
There are no unique geologic or physical features in the project area.
4. WATER. Would the proposal result in:
a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the rate and amount
of surface runoff? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT
The project proposes minimal grading, and the development of impervious
surfaces will be kept to a minimum. The changes in absorption rates,
drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface runoff will be
negligible. EIR No. 521 included mitigation measures to ensure that any
drainage plans will conform with the appropriate City and County standards.
A mitigation measure for the erosional ravine (created due to flows from the
storm drainage facility) located in Phase 1 was included in EIR No. 521 to
ensure that the storm drain facility accommodates and conveys flows below the
five-foot contour. Although the proposed Phase 1 plan differs from the 1992
GDP in that the ravine will not be filled in, this measure will still be
included to ensure that flows will not be impeded.
Mitigation Measures
4-1 Prior to the approval of grading plans, any required drainage plans
for the project shall be prepared by Harbors, Beaches and Parks-Design
in consultation with the Manager, Subdivision and Grading. All
required drainage improvements shall conform with appropriate City of
Huntington Beach and/or County of Orange standards.
4-2 Prior to approval of grading plans for the ravine within Phase 1, the
grading plans shall demonstrate that the storm drainage facility will
' accommodate and convey flows to below the five-foot contour (above
mean sea level) .
b) Exposure of people or property to water related hazards such as flooding?
NO IMPACT
Impacts to water related hazards such as flooding are not anticipated due to
Page 11
' Wieder Regional Park

the fact that the project site is not located in a flood hazard zone.
c) Discharge into surface waters or other alteration of surface water quality
(temperature, dissolved oxygen or turbidity) ? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT
EIR No. 521 indicates the potential for short-term impacts during grading and
construction activities which may increase sediment transport to the Bolsa
Chica wetlands. However, erosion control measures during construction will
minimize sediment transport impacts. These potential impacts were not
regarded as significant adverse impacts. Impacts resulting from the proposed
project will be the same if not less than the 1992 GDP.
EIR No. 521 included the County's standard condition to mitigate potential
pollutant runoff. This measure will be applied to the proposed project, but
the mitigation measure has been updated to reflect the current standard
language.
Mitigation Measure
I
4-3 Prior to the approval of grading plans or building permits, whichever
occurs first, the Manager, HBP-Design shall submit and obtain approval
from Manager, Subdivision and Grading, a Water Quality Management Plan
(WQMP) specifically identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that
will be used on-site to control predictable pollutant runoff. This
WQMP shall identify, at a minimum, the routine, structural and
non-structural measures specified in the Countywide NPDES Drainage
Area Management Plan (DAMP) Appendix which details implementation of
BMPs whenever they are applicable to a project; the assignment of
long-term maintenance responsibilities; and shall reference the
location(s) of structural BMPs.
d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any water body? NO IMPACT
The project will not alter surface water quantity and will not impact any
water body.
' e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction of water movements? NO
IMPACT
The proposed project will not impact any water body by altering currents,
course or direction of water movements.
f) Change in the quantity of ground water, either through direct additions or
withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations?
NO IMPACT
EIR No. 521 states that groundwater resources within the Beta aquifer will.
not be disturbed. Shallow groundwater located within the elevations between
sea level and the Huntington Beach Mesa may be encountered. However, project
earthwork is not anticipated to impede groundwater flows or have any
significant effect on groundwater quality. The proposed project's impacts
are similar to the 1992 GDP.

Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
' g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? NO IMPACT
The project does not propose to alter the groundwater. The following
mitigation measure from EIR No. 521 will be applied to test for the presence
of groundwater at grading locations.
Mitigation Measure
4-4 Prior to approval of grading plans, preliminary testing for
groundwater levels within Phase 1 and subsequent phases along the
contours of the bluff shall be conducted to quantify the presence of
groundwater at grading locations. The results shall be submitted to
Manager, Harbors, Beaches and Parks-Design in consultation with the
Manager, Subdivision and Grading.
h) Impacts to groundwater quality? NO IMPACT
The project will not involve operations or facilities that could cause
groundwater contamination.
5. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would the proposal result in:
a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion beyond adopted policies
and/or forecasts? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
EIR No. 521 assumed vehicular traffic to average 106 daily trips for the
general park use. The worst case scenario trip generation for the
' interpretive center is estimated at 200 daily trips and 4 bus trips. The
resulting estimated daily traffic for the project is 306 daily auto trips and
4 bus trips.
The project does not propose uses that will increase the volume of traffic
that was anticipated for the 1992 GDP (106 average daily trips) . EIR No. 521
states that the overall contribution of park-generated traffic to the
surrounding circulation network is negligible (much less than one percent) ,
and does not meet the threshold traffic impact as contained in the County's
Growth Management Plan Element.
b) Hazards to safety from design features (e.g. sharp curves or dangerous
intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)? NO IMPACT
As part of Phase 1, a left turn pocket for northbound traffic along Seapoint
Street is proposed for access to the parking lot adjacent the interpretive
center. The turn pocket will be 100-feet long. These plans will be subject
to the approval of the City of Huntington Beach.
The project does not propose roadway improvements or modifications which
would result in safety hazards due to design features or incompatible uses.
c) Inadequate emergency access or access to nearby uses? NO IMPACT
Emergency vehicles will have access to the park facility
Page 13
' Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
d) Insufficient parking capacity on-site or off-site? NO IMPACT
Approximately 100 off-street parking spaces will be provided at the park.
This is considered adequate due to the low intensity nature of the park, its
access via regional bicycle and pedestrian paths, and the estimated average
daily trips to this facility.
e) Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists? NO IMPACT
The project will not create hazards or barriers for pedestrians or
bicyclists.
f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation
(e.g. bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? NO IMPACT
The proposed project will not have any adverse impacts on adopted policies
supporting alternative transportation.
g) Rail, waterborne or air traffic impacts? NO IMPACT
The project does not propose any uses that would impact rail, waterborne or
air traffic.
6. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal:
r
a) Violate any SCAQMD standard or contribute to air quality deterioration
beyond projections of SCAQMD? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
EIR No. 521 indicates that project-related impacts will not violate any
SCAQMD standards or contribute to air quality deterioration beyond
' projections of SCAQMD, however, standard mitigation measures will be applied
to reduce the project and cumulative air quality impacts. The proposed
project compared to the 1992 GDP will have similar, if not less, impacts to
air quality.
Mitigation Measures
6-1 Prior to the approval of grading plans, Manager, HBP-Design shall
confirm that the plans stipulate that, in compliance with SCAQMD Rule
403, fugitive dust throughout the site shall be controlled by the use
of a watering truck as necessary, and/or the use of an environ-
mentally-safe chemical dust suppressant. Controls shall be applied to
all on-site unpaved roads and ramps, stockpile areas, actively
excavated or exposed sites, and all areas that may be temporarily
inactive but include exposed (unvegetated) or disturbed surfaces.
6-2 Prior to the approval of grading plans, Manager, HBP-Design shall
confirm that the plans stipulate that, in compliance with SCAQMD Rule
403, that all grading and excavation should be curtailed during
periods of high winds (e.g. over 25 miles per hour) .
6-3 Prior to the approval of the grading plans, Manager, HBP-Design shall
confirm that the plans and specifications stipulate that, in
1 Page 14
r
Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403, all materials transported off-site
shall be sufficiently watered or covered to prevent excessive fugitive
dust.
r6-4 Prior to the approval of the grading plans, Manager, HBP-Design shall
confirm that the plans stipulate that mobile heavy equipment (e.g.
scrapers, haul trucks) on unpaved surfaces shall be limited to an
on-site speed that avoids dust impacts off-site.
b) Expose sensitive population groups to pollutants in excess of acceptable
levels? NO IMPACT
No pollutants in excess of acceptable levels will be released due to
construction of the project. Further,' no sensitive population groups such as
schools or hospitals are within close proximity to the project site.
c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or cause any change in
climate? NO IMPACT
The nature and small magnitude of the project would not cause alterations to
air movement, moisture, or temperature.
d) Create objectionable odors? NO IMPACT
The project does not propose any uses that may cause objectionable odors.
7. NOISE. Would the proposal:
a) Increase existing noise levels? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
EIR No. 521 indicates the project will increase existing noise levels during
park construction activities. The earthmoving and construction-related noise
will have short-term impacts to nearby residents. Noise impacts resulting
from increased vehicular traffic (approximately 306 vehicle trips per day) on
nearby roadways will be negligible. The proposed project compared to the
1992 GDP will have similar, if not less, construction-related noise impacts
due to less proposed grading. The County's standard condition for noise
mitigation will be applied.
Mitigation Measure
' 7-1 Prior to the approval of construction documents or grading plans, the
plans shall be prepared in consultation with the Manager, Subdivision
and Grading incorporating written evidence that:
a. All construction vehicles or equipment, fixed or mobile, operated
within 1, 000 feet of a dwelling shall be equipped with properly
' operating and maintained mufflers.
b. All operations shall comply with Orange County Codified Ordinance
Division 6 (Noise Control) .
C. Stockpiling and/or vehicle staging areas shall be located as far as
practicable from dwellings.
tPage 15
' Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
1 b) Exposure of people to noise levels exceeding adopted county standards?
LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
No noticeable long-term increase in noise levels will result from subject
project. Construction noise may be heard at the nearby residential
properties, however, noise levels exceeding adopted County standards will not
occur. The County requires and enforces a noise ordinance to ensure that
construction noise does not exceed adopted County standards.
8. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal result in impacts to:
a) Endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats (including but
1 not limited to plants, fish, insects, animals and birds) ? LESS THAN
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
EIR No. 521 found that impacts to biological resources would be mitigated to
a level of insignificance and the project will not impact any endangered,
threatened or rare species or their habitats. The proposed project will not
create,' any new significant impacts, ' in fact, the project represents an improvement over the 1992 GDP because the site will be re-vegetated with
native species rather than turf grasses, thus improving the habitat value.
The proposed project will provide a greater amount of foraging areas for
raptor species anticipated to use the site.
Enhancement of the drainage ravine located in Phase 1 across Cherryhill Lane
is proposed. This ravine carries drainage from Seacliff Golf Course, under
Seapoint Street, through the park and into the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. Over
time, the ravine has eroded, resulting in hazardous, steep and unstable side
slopes.
Exotic plant species (iceplant, fennel, mustard, russian thistle, and tree
tobacco) have established in the ravine. Some native plant species exists at
the bottom of the ravine including: three small groves of willows
(approximately .07 acres) ; fresh water marsh habitat (approximately .17
acres) ; and coastal salt marsh (approximately .01 acres) .
The 1992 GDP proposed filling the ravine to create more usable park area.
Harbors, Beaches and Parks prepared plans and applied to the California
Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) for a streambed alteration agreement
pursuant to section 1601 of the California Fish and Game Code. The CDFG
issued the 1601 agreement based on the 1992 GDP. The CDFG will ensure that
applicable conditions placed on the existing 1601 agreement will apply to the
current project.
Mitigation Measures
' 8-1 Prior to commencement of grading activities, the Manager, HBP-Design
shall confirm that a qualified biologist has conducted surveys for
annual plants.
i8-2 Prior to approval of the grading plans, a qualified biologist shall
prepare the habitat restoration plan and submit it to HBP-Design for
' review and approval. The plan shall specify guidelines for
Page 16

Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
implementation of the habitat areas to ensure the provision of
increased habitat value, especially adequate foraging areas for the
raptor species anticipated on site.
r8-3 Buffers to wetland areas shall be included in the landscape plan
(habitat restoration plan) and implemented with project construction
and coordinated with the California Department of Fish and Game. This
shall meet the approval of the Manager, HBP-Design prior to the
approval of the habitat restoration plan for each phase.
8-4 Project-related grading activities shall be monitored and if
necessary, prohibited during the nesting season (i.e. , spring and
early summer) to eliminate any potential impacts to wildlife habitat.
b) Locally designated species (e.g. heritage trees) ? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT
' EIR No. 521 indicates that park development may disrupt burrowing owl sites.
This species is listed by the state as a Species of Special Concern. EIR No.
521 included a mitigation measure to relocate any existing burrowing owls.
' The proposed project will not result in more severe impacts to this species
if it exists on site. Surveys will be conducted during the Spring prior to
construction and grading activities to determine the existence of burrowing
owls.
Mitigation Measure
8-5 Prior to Phase 1 implementation and prior to approval of grading
plans, if the existence of burrowing owls has been confirmed by .
surveys conducted by .a qualified biologist, a qualified biologist
shall evaluate relocation needs for existing burrowing owls on site
and specify recommendations for the resource management plan.
c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g. oak forest, coastal habitat,
etc.)? NO IMPACT
The project site has historically been used for oil and natural gas
production activities and is in a degraded condition as a result of these
uses. The park site can be characterized as a ruderal field, with a plant
cover consisting almost entirely of introduced annual weeds and grasses.
Less than it of the site supports perennial plants and most of these are not
native .to. the site. Remnant coastal sage plants such as Artemesia
californica exist in only isolated spots, mostly at the base of the bluffs.
The proposed project is largely native habitat restoration and represents a
positive impact to biological resources.
d) Wetland habitat (e.g. marsh, riparian and vernal pool)? LESS THAN
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
Between Seapoint Street and the Bolsa Chica lowlands, a deeply excised
' ravine, eroded by runoff from Seacliff Golf Course has been colonized by
arroyo willow and cat-tail. This runoff supports onsite and offsite
freshwater marsh at the edge of the Bolsa Chica lowlands.

' Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
The 1992 GDP proposed filling in this ravine to create more usable park area.
Based on the 1992 GDP, the County received a 1601 agreement from the
California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) for this work.
The proposed GDP-1997 Update/Phase 1 project proposes to grade the eroded
side slopes to eliminate steep vertical drop-off conditions. The plans will
also remove exotic plant material and re-plant with native species. Appli-
cable conditions of the existing 1601 agreement will apply to the current
Phase 1 ravine enhancement project.
The proposed project will not create new or more severe impacts to wetland
habitat.
1 e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? NO IMPACT
The project site has very little habitat value, and the site does not serve
as a dispersal and/or migration corridor for vertebrates (i.e. mammals,
birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians) .
f) Adopted conservation plans and policies (e.g. Resource Management Plans) ?
NO IMPACT
The project will not impact any adopted conservation plans and policies such
as a resource management plan or the County's Natural Communities
Conservation Planning (NCCP) program.
9. AESTHETICS. Would the proposal:
a) Affect a scenic vista or view open to the public? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT
' Implementation of the project will result in the phased removal of all oil
and gas production facilities, and will be replaced with a passive use
regional park. The park will be mostly revegetated with native plant species
and will include an interpretive center, bike/pedestrian and equestrian
trails, two local park areas, and a parking for approximately 100 cars. The
park will also include vista points overlooking Bolsa Chica wetlands and the
' ocean.
As indicated in Final EIR No. 521, final landscape plans and building design
will ensure that the project's vegetation and structures will be located and
scaled appropriately to ensure that views from existing and future adjacent
residential areas are maintained. The propose project will be designed to
ensure that view impacts to adjacent residences are minimized.
Mitigation Measure
9-1 Prior to approval of final construction documents, HBP-Design shall
prepare, in consultation with the City of Huntington Beach, plans to
ensure preservation of ocean views for adjacent residents.
Page 18
Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
1 b) Affect a designated scenic highway? NO IMPACT
The project site is adjacent to Pacific Coast Highway which is designated as
' a viewscape corridor by the County of Orange Master Plan of Scenic Highways.
EIR No. 521 states that development of the regional park will result in a
visual and aesthetic enhancement of the project site and thus improve the
' scenic quality. The proposed project will not create any significant impacts
to the viewscape corridor.
' c) Result in a demonstrably offensive aesthetic effect? NO IMPACT
EIR No. 521 states that the project will result in a beneficial aesthetic
impact. The proposed project will ultimately provide an aesthetic
' improvement over the existing conditions and will increase the site's value
as a visual and scenic resource.
d) Create light or glare beyond the physical limits of the project? LESS
THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
EIR No. 521 states that no significant offsite light and glare impacts are
anticipated. The proposed project will introduce low-level security lighting
at the location of the interpretive center only, which is a reduction in the
use of security lighting in the 1992 GDP.
' Mitication Measure
' 9-2 Prior to issuance of building permits, the Manager, HBP-Design
Division shall ensure that building plans include project security
lighting, utilize non-reflective types of glazing and lighting is
directed onsite so as to avoid the intrusion of glare upon nearby
residences.
10. CULTURAL/SCIENTIFIC RESOURCES. WOULD THE PROJECT:
' a) Disturb paleontological resources? NO IMPACT
EIR No. 521 states that the property is not underlain by sediments that are
' known to require more than the minimum paleontologic grading observation
time. The proposed project will not have any additional potential impacts,
and the mitigation measure from EIR No. 521 should be applied.
Mitication Measure
10-1 If fossil vertebrates are observed during any future earthmoving
activities, the Director, Harbors, Beaches and Parks shall be notified
and the site should be inspected by a qualified vertebrate
paleontologist to determine their significance. If the vertebrate
remains are deemed important, then increased monitoring and collecting
time is warranted.
b) Disturb archaeological resources? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
EIR No. 521 describes eight archaeological sites within the project site.
One of the sites, CA-Ora-290, is considered to have been totally destroyed
Page 19

Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
' by previous earthmoving activities. The other sites ( CA-Ora-82, -88, -365,
-366, -293/294, -292, -291, and -290) require further testing to assess
significance. The mitigation prescribed in EIR No. 521 included test-level
investigation and a resource management program based on the results of the
investigation.
Macko Inc. , an archaeological research firm, conducted test level
investigations for CA-Ora-292/293 and 294 within Phase 1 and prepared
findings and recommendations in a report dated February, 1997. Based on the
' test level investigations, specific boundaries of the sensitive areas were
mapped. The Phase 1 design will incorporate the recommendations from
Macko's report and will avoid impacting the sensitive areas.
Impacts of the proposed project will be the same as those described in Final
EIR No. 521. The mitigation measures stated in EIR No. 521 will reduce the
impacts to a level of insignificance.
Mitigation Measures
10-2 Prior to approval of any grading plans, a test-level investigation of
all noted sites, with the exception of CA-Ora-290, which has totally
been destroyed, shall be conducted by an archaeologist who meets the
qualifications of the County of Orange approved list of archaeological
' consultants. The investigation shall include subsurface testing of
deposits through auger holes and test pits to determine vertical
depth, horizontal distribution, and internal complexity of the
cultural deposit. Subsurface investigations shall comply with
appropriate local, state and federal guidelines for Native American
involvement and be acceptable to the Manager, HBP-Design.
' 10-3 Based on the results of the test-level investigation, a comprehensive
archaeological resource management program acceptable to the Manager,
HBP-Design shall be submitted by an archaeologist who meets the
qualifications of the County of Orange-approved list of archaeological
subconsultants which include such requirements as further analysis of
sites, resource recovery, or .in situ preservation. Measures to
protect resources in areas proposed as open space will also be
' included. The program shall be implemented according to a schedule of
development. Additional recommendations may be made upon completion
of test-level investigation or at the professional discretion of the
consulting archaeologist conducting the test-level work.
10-4 Prior to the issuance of any grading permit, evidence shall be
provided that a County-certified archaeologist has been retained,
shall be present at the pregrading conference, shall establish
procedures for archaeological resource surveillance, and shall
establish procedures for temporarily halting or redirecting work to
permit the sampling, identification, and evaluation of the artifacts
as appropriate. If the archaeologist resources are found to be
significant, the archaeological observer shall recommend appropriate
' actions for exploration and/or salvage.

d) Have the potential to cause a physical change which would affect unique
ethnic cultural values? NO IMPACT
' The physical changes caused by the project will not affect any unique ethnic
or cultural values.
e) Restrict existing religious or sacred uses within the potential impact
area? NO IMPACT
No known religious or sacred uses currently occur or exist within the
project site.
' 11. RECREATION. Would the proposal:
a) Increase demand for local or regional parks or other recreational
facilities? NO IMPACT
The proposed project is the creation of a regional park, and will not
increase the demand for additional recreational facilities.
b) Affect existing recreational opportunities? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT
The proposed project will enhance the existing recreational opportunities in
the area. Trails will be provided for hiking, biking and equestrian uses,
and local park areas will be provided with turf and playground areas.
c) Conflict with adopted recreational plans and policies? NO IMPACT
The proposed project will implement the County's Master Plan of Recreation
Facilities in the Recreation Element of the General Plan. The project will
not conflict with adopted recreational plans and policies.
' 12. Energy & mineral resources. would the proposal:
a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation plans? NO IMPACT
The proposed project will not conflict with adopted energy conservation
plans.
b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner?
NO IMPACT
' The project will not use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and
inefficient manner.

' 13. HAZARDS. WOULD THE PROPOSAL INVOLVE?
a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of hazardous substances
(including, but not limited to: oil, pesticides, chemicals, gas or
radiation)? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
' The project does not propose uses or facilities that could cause accidental
explosion or release of hazardous substances. EIR No. 521 included a
mitigation measure to ensure that existing underground pipeline facilities
are not disturbed during grading activities. This measure will be applied
' to the GDP-1997 Update and Phase 1 projects.
Mitigation Measure
13-1 Prior to approval of grading plans, Harbors, Beaches and Parks-Design
shall obtain plans for the exact location of existing underground
' pipeline facilities. Precautionary grading procedures shall be
established to avoid unnecessary removal of lines and impacts to
facilities.
' b) Possible interference with an emergency response plan or emergency
evacuation plan? NO IMPACT
' The project is not expected to conflict with any major transportation or
circulation routes, and therefore will not interfere with any emergency
response plan or emergency evacuation plan.
' c) The creation of any identified health hazard? NO IMPACT
The nature of the project precludes the creation of health hazards.
d) Exposure of people to existing sources of health hazards? LESS THAN
SIGNIFICANT
' EIR No. 521 identified potential safety hazards due to existing uses and
features of the park property. The presence of oil and gas production
machinery, above-ground pipelines, other related equipment and offsite
electrical facilities represents potential hazards related to increased
public access to these facilities. Oil and gas production facilities will
be removed as the park property is acquired and before each phase is .
implemented. Pipelines located above ground in the Phase 1 portion of the
site will be placed underground prior to the completion and public use of
Phase 1.
Mitigation measures in EIR No. 521 will be applied ensuring that the
property is "clean and safe" of hazardous substances and materials.
Removing all hazardous substances and materials within Phase 1 is in
' process. All elements of the gas plant site are being removed, including
the elimination of subsurface gas.
' Hazards related to preventing public accessibility to oil and gas production
facilities located in undeveloped future phases of the park will be
mitigated with the installation of security fencing and buffering measures.
Page 22
Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
The helipad located just south of Phase 1 was identified in EIR No. 521 as a
potential safety hazard for equestrians. The riding and hiking trail
proposed in Phase 1 is approximately 900 feet from the helipad. This
distance should be a sufficient buffer, and does not represent a significant
impact. The land owner/lease holder at the helipad site will have the
opportunity to review the design plans.
An additional safety hazard identified in EIR No. 521 is the public activity
adjacent to the steep bluffs in the park. Measures including appropriate
signage, plantings, and fencing will be incorporated into the project
landscape (i.e. , habitat restoration) plans to ensure public safety near
bluff edges.
' The GDP-1997 Update and Phase 1 plan will not result in new or more severe
hazards to public safety than those identified in EIR No. 521.
Mitigation Measures
13-2 Prior to the County's acceptance of land dedication within the park, a
thorough inspection of the property shall be conducted by qualified
subconsultants for the City of Huntington Beach and County of Orange
to ensure that any hazardous substances and materials have been
removed and that the property meets the applicable standards of the
' City of Huntington Beach and the County of Orange for a "clean and
safe" site.
13-3 Prior to issuance of building permits, HBP-Design shall obtain the
final hazardous materials assessment documentation for the remedial
work completed to eliminate the subsurface gas associated with the gas
plant site. Recommendations made for the construction of the
' interpretive center should be considered.
13-4 Prior to approval of landscape (habitat restoration) plans, HBP-Design
' shall confirm that project landscape plans incorporate appropriate
signage, buffers and/or fencing to ensure public safety near bluff
edges.
' 13-5 Prior to approval of final development plans for each phase of the
park, HBP-Design shall provide the plans to adjacent property owners
and operators for their review and comment on the needs for security
fencing and buffering measures to prevent public accessibility to oil
and gas production facilities.
e) Increased fire hazard in designated high fire hazard areas (e.g.
flammable brush, grass, or trees)? NO IMPACT
The project site is not located in a high fire hazard area and will not
contribute to an increased fire hazard in high fire hazard areas.

' 14. Public services. Would project affect, or result•in need(s) for new/altered
government services in:
a) Fire protection? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
At the time of the writing of EIR No. 521, it was noted park development may
' impact fire protection services on the City of Huntington Beach. However,
EIR No. 521 indicated that as master planned circulation improvements are
implemented and fire and paramedic services within the City are increased in
' conjunction with other planned developments in the area, impacts of park
development on fire protection services may be substantially reduced as
portions of the park are incrementally developed. Impacts of the proposed
project will be the same if not less than the 1992 GDP. Prior to the
' approval of each phase of park development, the Huntington Beach Fire
Department will review the plans to confirm that appropriate emergency
access and fire protection is available for park development.
iMitigation Measure
14-1 Prior to approval of each phase of park development, the Huntington
' Beach Fire Department shall review and confirm that appropriate
emergency access and fire protection is available for park
development.
' b) Police protection? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
' EIR No. 521 indicates that the proposed project may generate the demand for
one additional sworn officer with the City of Huntington Beach Police
Department. The proposed project will not increase this demand. However,
it should be noted that the full use of the park will not occur until all
' phases have been acquired and developed. The County of Orange will
coordinate with the City of Huntington Beach to ensure adequate police
protection and service as the park is developed.
' Mitigation Measure
14-2 Prior to commencement of park operations, the County of Orange and the
City of Huntington Beach shall coordinate to ensure adequate police
protection and service for the park facility.
' c) Schools? NO IMPACT
The project would neither affect nor result in a need for additional
schools.
d) Maintenance of public facilities, including roads? NO IMPACT
The proposed project will not result in the need to add or alter the
maintenance of public facilities.
e) Other governmental services? NO IMPACT
No other governmental services .would be affected by the project.

' 15. utilities & public systems. Would project result in needs for new or
substantial alterations to utilities:
a) Power or natural gas? NO IMPACT
EIR No. 521 indicates that the project's demand on electricity is not
' significant. The Southern California Edison Company has acknowledged that
the electric loads of the project are within the parameters of the overall
projected load growth which the company is planning to meet in this area.
' In terms of natural gas, EIR No. 521 states that the Southern California
Gas Company would be able to service the site without any significant
impact to its operations, however, natural gas service is not anticipated
to be required for the park facility.
' b) Communications systems? NO IMPACT
' Telephone service will be provided to the park facility by GTE. EIR No.
521 indicates that telephone services to the project will be implemented
without impacting the level of service in the area. The proposed project
will not result in any impacts to communication systems.
c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution facilities? LESS THAN
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
At the time of the writing of EIR No. 521, the City of Huntington Beach
indicated that all development in the area of the park would adversely
' impact the existing service levels for water distribution. This was due to
the City's limited water supply conditions in 1992.
Although the City's water supply may have been remedied, the proposed
project will utilize mostly native species rather than turf grasses and
other ornamental species to landscape the park. The native plantings and
park uses will not require significant amounts of water. Applicable
' mitigation measures from EIR No. 521 will be incorporated for use of
reclaimed water. It should be noted that reclaimed water at the project
site is not currently available.
' Miticiation Measures

' consult with the City of Huntington Beach Public Water Division with
regard to water system demands to coordinate project phasing with
anticipated city infrastructural improvements to both potable and
reclaimed water facilities. Complete habitat restoration plans shall
be prepared in consultation with the City of Huntington Beach Water
Division.
15-2 The following mitigation measures which reduce water use through
conservation shall be employed:
All irrigation should be provided through a reclaimed water
system as feasible.
Page 25
Wieder Regional Park
Addendum IP 96-178 to EIR No. 521
' C Irrigation systems which minimize water waste shall be used to
the greatest extent possible.
' ° Utilize drought-tolerant grasses if lawns are to be used.
Use pervious paving material whenever feasible to reduce surface
' runoff and aid in groundwater recharge.
G All water conservation measures as required by state law and
' plumbing codes shall be required, including but not limited to
low-flush toilets, low-flow showers and faucets, hot water line
insulation and low-water using appliances, if applicable.
td) Sewer or septic tanks? LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
EIR No. 521 states that project development will require the construction
' of sewer facilities to convey project generated wastewater to the
appropriate County trunkline. A sewage design study will be conducted to
determine the appropriate sewer line locations, and capacity considerations
for the park. The proposed project does not pose any new significant
' impacts to sewer facilities. Impacts will be mitigated to a level of
insignificance.
' Mitigation Measure
15-3 Prior to approval of grading plans, HBP in consultation with the City
' of Huntington Beach will ensure the plans have incorporated water
conservation measures to reduce project-generated wastewater. The
following measures address potential impacts on City sewer facilities
of the Orange County Sanitation District.
' ° Sewage design shall be completed by HBP in consultation with the
City of Huntington Beach prior to approval of grading plans.
' 0 All required sewer improvements shall be designed and constructed
to City of Huntington Beach and County of Orange standards.
Determination of the requirement to upsize existing facilities
shall be made in consultation with the City of Huntington Beach
Department of Public Works and/or the Orange County Sanitation
District.
' e) Solid waste disposal? NO IMPACT
Due to the low intensity nature of the park, EIR No. 521 states that the
solid waste generation is anticipated to be minimal and therefore have a
negligible impact on the County's solid waste facilities. The proposed
project should not create a need for expansion of existing facilities, nor
should it have a significant effect on the staffing and service needs of
the County.

COMh•i`�1N1 TY DEVELOPidIENT
SUBJECT: HARRIETT M. WIEDER REGIONAL PARK PHASE I CDP APPLICATION AND
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
According to the General Development Plan updated January 1997,primary fire protection for the Harriett M.
Wieder Regional Park, which includes emergency medical and ambulance transportation,will be provided by the
Huntington Beach Fire Department. In response to your memo dated February 18, 1997,I have assembled the
following general comments and specific concerns regarding fire protection services within the proposed regional
park.
Bike/Pedestrian Trails
In order to provide adequate fire protection without undue delays to the North end of the park, the proposed
bike/pedestrian trail will be needed as an emergency access point. The current proposed standard, according to the
Coastal Development Permit Application, is a ten foot wide paved concrete or asphalt road. Based upon our
current Fire Department Code requirements and City Specifications, emergency access roads are required to be a
twelve foot wide, all weather road, engineered to accommodate a fire department apparatus of approximately
seventy thousand pounds.
Maintenance Access Road
Fire protection services to the South end of the regional park can be provided by the maintenance access road.
According to the Coastal Development Permit Application,this road will be ten feet wide constructed of
decomposed granite. To accommodate emergency vehicles for fire protection to the Southern section,this road
would also be required to be widened to twelve feet and engineered to accommodate a fire department apparatus of
approximately seventy thousand pounds.
Fire Hydrant Installation for Wildland Fire Protection
The Wieder Regional Park,when completed,will be one of the largest wildland areas protected by the City. On
site fire hydrants need to be provided throughout the park in amounts and locations specified by the Fire
Department.
Interpretive Center
The 5,000 square Interpretive Center will be required to have an automatic sprinkler system throughout pursuant to
Fire Department regulations. The Interpretive Center will also need a fire hydrant system of which the amounts
and locations are specified by the Fire Department.
Also, yet to be determined, all new construction within the methane gas overlay districts shall comply with all
provisions of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and the Huntington Beach City Specifications.

SUBJECT: Wieder Park Development Plan Review COMMUNITY DEVELOPVENT
DATE: March 31, 1997
Our review of the Wieder Park Development Plan has been completed. The review comments
are arranged below by page number and or section, with recommendations, comments and/or
questions.
TRAFFIC COMMENTS
PAGE 4 -- "LEFT TURN MEDIAN BREAK"
A field review of the site revealed that the proposed location for the median break is located at
the beginning of a curve in Seapoint Avenue and is beyond the crest of a vertical curve. We
believe that this combination of geometry fails to provide adequate sight distance for safely
turning across opposing lanes of traffic at high speed.
A professionally prepared traffic study shall be submitted addressing this issue. No approval of
the proposed location will be considered until satisfactory evidence is presented to confirm that
the sight distances for opposing drivers is adequate under existing design criteria for highways.
Cal-Trans Highway Design manual 7.5 second corner sight distance criteria must be satisfied.
See Chapter 400 of the Highway Design Manual.
The field review also revealed that locating the entry to the Interpretive Center at Dora[ Drive
would have two benefits; (1) the sight distance appears to be adequate (still subject to
confirmation as noted above), and (2) the opening in the median already exists, reducing
construction costs.
PAGE 5 -- BIKE/PEDESTRIAN TRAILS, & ATTACHMENT 3, PHASE 1 CONCEPT PLAN:
Pedestrian and bicycle access points shall be located at street intersections, except those
approved by the City Traffic Engineer to service temporary on-street parking spaces adjacent
to the park.
SEWER & DRAINAGE COMMENTS

The verbiage: "impacts on City sewer facilities of the Orange County Sanitation District."This is
misleading; it sounds like the City sewer system belongs to the Orange County Sanitation
District.". (Revise)

b•)
GENERAL COMMENTS
1. What mitigation measures will be taken regarding trash in the ravine area?
WATER DIVISION COMMENTS
1. The County shall submit a composite utility plan, showing water system improvements and
all other underground utilities (proposed and existing) to each proposed building. The plan
shall include driveway locations and identify irrigation areas, including service connections
for water and sewer to each building, public and private fire hydrant, valves, and other
appurtenances in accordance with applicable Uniform Plumbing Code, City Ordinances,
Public Works Standards and Water Division Facility Design Criteria. The plans shall be
approved by the Public Works Water Division prior to construction.
2. Backflow protection shall be installed per the City of Huntington Beach Water Division
Standard Plan No. 609 for both domestic and irrigation water services. All backflow devices
shall be painted to match surrounding aesthetics, and be screened fro view to the
satisfaction of the City of Huntington Beach Fire Department, Landscape Architect and
Water Division. The markings indicating the size, model number and serial number shall be
affixed to the body of the backflow device and must remain visible after painting.
3. Irrigation for the regional park will be supplied by reclaimed water. A maximum of two
separate irrigation services shall be used connecting from the reclaimed water main
located in Garfield Avenue. The County and City shall review supplying the regional park
with reclaimed water. Use of reclaimed water shall be subject to the final approval of the
Director of Public Works. Providing reclaimed water to the Oceancrest and Surfcrest
developments is not a part of this project.
4. The reclaimed water system shall be designed in accordance with the Interim 'Rules and
Regulations for the Use of Reclaimed Water", dated April 1, 1991, as prepared by the
Orange County Water District.

Recommended Conditions for Approval
Harriet M. Wieder Regional Park
Phase 1 Coastal Development Permit Application
Comments by Jan Thomas, HBPD Crime Prevention
Recommended conditions are outlined in bold lettering.
1) PARKING AREA:
• Reference: `Parking area will be depressed approximately ten feet lower than the
elevation of Seapoint Street. The parking area will be screened through berming and
landscaping."
Recommended Condition:
Don't depress parking. Parking should be visible from the street. When parking cannot
be seen from the street, the incidence of assaults, robbery, vehicle theft, vehicle burglary
and other illegal behavior will increase and go unnoticed.
Recommended Condition:
Lock and gate off parking area when the park is closed. However, police access is
needed via Knox box.
2) OFF STREET PARKING:
Seapoint, between Cherryhill Drive and Doral Drive is a parking area used by surfers. It is
predicted that surfers will use the Interpretive Center's parking lot.
Recommended Condition:
Since Seapoint is the only convenient off-street parking for the park, post
"NO PARKING from loam to 6am" signs. Thus, any car parked on Seapoint alerts
police that someone may be in the park.
3) BIKE/PEDESTRIAN TRAIL/RIDING/HIKING TRAIL
• Reference: "A decomposed granite trail will be installed along the bluff top edge
between Palm and Garfield "
j
Recommended Condition:
It is understood by police that this trail is accessible by patrol. These trails should
remain open and accessible to police patrol vehicles 24 hours.
4) CHAIN LINK FENCE:
• Reference: "Install a six foot high chain link fence around the ravine to protect
plantings, wildlife and keep park users away from potential safety hazards. "
Recommended Condition:
Use 1" chain link. The use of 1" chain link will make it difficult for people to climb the
chain link.. One cannot get his foot into the opening of the I" slats, therefore further
prohibiting someone from climbing the fence.
5) INTERPRETIVE VISTA POINTS:
• Reference: "Benches will also be provided. "
Recommended Condition:
Benches should be designed to discourage large groups from gathering comfortably
as well as loitering and sleeping.
There should be no shelter over the vista points.
6) SIGNS:
• Reference: "An informative regulatory sign will be installed at the Palm Ave.,
Garfield Ave. entry points and the parking area. The sign will display an
explanation of the do's and don'ts,park hours and other pertinent information.
Recommended Condition:
Post the park hours throughout the park. There are currently three regulatory signs
stating hours of park operation. Recommend at least six signs throughout the park
clearly stating hours.
7) LOCAL PARK AREA: OPEN TURF AREA AND PLAYGROUND:
• Reference: "Open turf area includes open area with four picnic tables. Benches
will be provided adjacent to the playground area. "
• Reference: "Berming will help screen the proposed interpretive center,parking area
and local park area from the adjacent residential development. "
Recommended Condition:
Don't build up berms. Don't hide the park from the street. People won't feel safe.
Only potential offenders will feel safe. Every effort should be made to keep the turf and
picnic area visible from the street. Do not build up berm, level the berm when feasible. (I
would like to see more specific drawings of the playground and turf area.)
8) LIGHTING:
• Reference: "Since the park, with the exception of occasional evening use of the
interpretive center, will be closed during non-daylight hours, site lighting will be
limited to security lighting at the interpretive center and parking area. Ambient
lighting from existing street lights will provide security lighting along Seapoint
Street. "
Recommended Condition:
Turf area and picnic tables should be lighted as well. This is a vulnerable area for
loitering at night.
Install vandal resistant lights.
9) RESTROOMS:
• Reference:Men's and women's restrooms appear accessible from the outdoors.
Recommended Condition:
Take the doors off the restrooms. This allows a potential victim quicker escape an
offender once she/he has entered the restroom.
Install a sliding gate to lock up the Interpretive center restrooms when the Interpretive
center is closed. Ideally, people should have to enter the Interpretive center in order to
use the restroom.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-3)
n
WHEREAS, the City of Huntington Beach and the County of Orange entered into an
agreement dated November 27, 1979, providing for cooperation in specific terms for the
development and operation of a regional park along the Huntington Mesa, connecting Huntington
Central Park and Bolsa Chica State Beach, lying partially within City incorporated boundaries and
partially within unincorporated County territory; and
Said agreement provides that County will prepare a General Development Plan for the
park in close cooperation with the City; and
The County, with advice and assistance from City and City's appointed citizen advisory
committee, has prepared a General Development Plan; and
The City Council and County Board of Supervisors have approved the General
Development Plan; and
County needs City's approval of a Coastal Development Permit and Conditional Use
Permit prior to developing any portion of the park located within City's incorporated boundaries;
and
County has filed with City applications for a Coastal Development Permit and Conditional
Use Permit (which have become numbered 93-28 and 94-3, respectively) for developing Phase IA
of the Park; and
City's Planning Commission on March 1, 1994, disapproved said permit applications with
findings identifying unresolved planning issues in the Phase IA project as proposed by the County;
and
1
4\s\Bolsa Chica Reg.Park\05/09/94
The matter was appealed to the City Council for further consideration; and
The City Council considered the matter at a public hearing on April 4, 1994, continued the
matter to May 2, 1994, and appointed a committee of three_council members who met with
representatives of the County, neighboring residents and other interested parties to clarify and
seek to resolve the planning issues; and
County's Director of Harbors, Beaches and Parks/Environmental Management Agency has
participated in the meetings with the City Council committee and has agreed that certain changes
in the park plan can be made to resolve project issues, if the City reconfirms the basic park
objectives set forth in the November 27, 1979, City/County park agreement, and assists in
implementing a revised park plan; and
The City Council has taken testimony at the continued Public Hearing on May 2, 1994,
and considered the Coastal Development Permit and Conditional Use Permit applications with the
intent to resolve issues and facilitate implementation of the park as soon as possible,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby
resolve as follows:
1. The City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby reaffirm its support
for the Bolsa Chica Regional Park and the cooperative agreement dated November 27, 1979,
including the obligations of the City set forth in said agreement.
2. The City Council of the City of Huntington Beach reconfirms its support of the
essential features of the park as set forth in the General Development Plan conceptually approved
by the Council on October 19, 1992, including in particular the following proposed park features:
continuous pedestrian, equestrian and bicycle trails connecting Huntington Central Park and Bolsa
Chica State Beach; adequate off-street parking located convenient for regional park visitors; an
interpretive center providing information and educational opportunities regarding the park, the
adjacent wetlands and the cultural and historical resources of the area; revegetation of the site
with native plants species designed for compatibility with the adjacent Bolsa Chica lowlands and
2
4\s\Bolsa Chica Reg.Park\03/09/94
serving wildlife habitat needs; scattered benches, tables and vista overlooks to provide a modest
amount of resting and picnicking opportunities for park visitors.
3. The City Council pledges its support and assistance in the acquisition of land
necessary for the park and the efforts required to ensure that when the land is conveyed to the
County it will be free of soil contamination and other encumbrances that would be deleterious to
park development and use by the public.
4. The City Council hereby assures the County that it will not restrict parking along
Seapoint and Palm Avenues in the vicinity of the Phase IA area of the park until County has
constructed on-site parking in the vicinity of the existing gas plant site, adjacent easterly of the
Phase IA project or before January 1, 1996, whichever date comes first.
5. CDP 93-28 and CUP No. 94-3 are hereby approved subject to the following
conditions and in accordance with the further below stated findings:
A. Conditions of Approval for Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3:
1. Development of the park shall minimize grading and land form
modification to preserve the natural topography of the site.
2. Prior to the commencement of any grading in or near the ravine, the
County shall submit and obtain approval from the City Council for a
plan showing the proposed extension of the existing drainage
structure. Extension of the drainage structure shall be limited to the
minimum extent feasible to provide adequately for trail continuity
and safety for park users, but shall not exceed 190 lineal feet from
the existing location. Plans shall specify detailed drainage for the
area and new and relocated willow plantings as well as other
vegetation proposed for the expanded and enhanced
riparian/wetland habitat area and shall be presented to Council after
3
4\s\Bolsa Chica Reg.Park\05/09/94
-l•`C
review and approval by the Director of Community Development
and the State Department of Fish and Game.
3. Prior to initiation of grading activities, the County shall contact the
Department of Fish& Game to ensure that activities will avoid
disturbances during the nesting period of any affected bird species.
4. The plant material indicated in the permit applications shall be
modified to provide for native vegetation for enhanced wildlife
habitat purposes to replace the proposed turf grass and other non-
native vegetation in Phase IA.
5. The County shall amend the proposed plant palette for Phase IA,
received and dated December 6, 1993, by replacing any plant
species on the palette which were identified in the December 30,
1993, memo from the Department of Parks, Trees and Landscape
as problem plants with more appropriate plant species identified
therein.
6. A parking lot as proposed in the permit applications to be located
within the Phase IA area shall be deleted in favor of a parking lot
located in conjunction with the proposed interpretive center,
adjacent easterly of the Phase IA boundaries, and it shall be
designed and constructed as a Phase IB project as soon as
practicable, but no later than January 1, 1996.
7. Only such security lighting as is determined necessary for public
safety purposes by the City's Chief of Police shall be installed in the
proposed park. Lighting shall be designed to minimize light and
glare impacts on adjacent residences.
8. Reclaimed water shall be used for irrigation when available from a
pipe extended seaward from Garfield Avenue by the city.

Q 11
9. County shall consider and, if determined feasible, implement a
volunteer assisted planting program.
10. The applicant shall comply with all applicable mitigation measures
identified in Final Environmental Impact Report No. 521 for the
Bolsa Chica Regional Park.
11. Any expansion or alteration of the Phase IA development area or.
development components, other than addressed in this application,
shall be subject to approval of a new Conditional Use Permit by the
Planning Commission.
12. Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit
No. 93-28 shall not become effective for any purpose until the
Coastal Commission appeal period has closed and an "Acceptance
of Conditions" form has been signed by the applicant, notarized and
returned to the Planning Division.
13. Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit
No. 93-28 shall become null and void unless exercised within one
(1) year of the close of the Coastal Commission appeal period, or
such extension of time as may be granted by the Planning
Commission, pursuant to a written request submitted (with the
appropriate processing fee in effect at the time)to the Planning
Department a minimum 30 days prior to the expiration date.
B. Findings for Approval for Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3.
1. The proposed design for Phase IA as revised conforms with the
wildlife habitat protection, public access and public recreation
policies of the California Coastal Act.
5
4\s\Bolsa Chica Reg.Park\05109/94
2. The proposed design for Phase IA as revised is consistent with the
plan's policies, requirements and standards of the City's Local
Coastal Program.
3. The proposed design for Phase IA as revised is consistent with the
CZ suffix designation and the base zoning district and other
applicable provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning Code.
4. The proposed design for Phase IA as revised properly integrates the
proposed park uses in a manner sensitive to the surrounding
residential properties.
5. The proposed design for Phase IA as revised includes temporary
on-street parking to serve Phase IA visitors until permanent parking
space on-site can be constructed as Phase IB of the Park.
6. The combination and relationship of proposed uses to each other in
the Plan as revised are properly integrated.
7. The pedestrian and bicycle trail system will provide additional
access opportunities in the Bolsa Chica area, while perimeter
fencing will discourage human access into environmentally sensitive
areas and minimize disturbances to wildlife.
8. Some filling of the drainage ravine may be necessary to eliminate
the potential safety hazards to park users and to provide adequate
trail separation, and the filling and modification of the ravine will be
adequately mitigated by the creation of an approximately .5 acre
wetland enhancement area at the mouth of the ravine.
9. The vista overlook will provide additional visual access
opportunities to the Bolsa Chica lowlands, while minimizing
potential intrusions to wildlife habitat.
6
4\a\B013a Chita Reg.Park\03/09/94
9. The vista overlook will provide additional visual access
opportunities to the Bolsa Chica lowlands, while minimizing
potential intrusions to wildlife habitat.
10. The location, site layout and design of Phase IA as revised properly
adapts the proposed use to existing streets, driveways and other
adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner by maintaining
existing circulation patterns and preserving view opportunities for
residents on the opposite side of Sea Point Avenue.
11. The proposed design for Phase IA as revised does not include any
habitable structure and will not require any infrastructure
improvement to serve development and operation of this phase of
park development.
